“SUFFERING”

Suffering arises from the stubbornness of the mind (ego) identified with the self.

The mind lives based on the assumption that the world it sees is the only world, that everyone sees it the same way, that it is natural that everyone lives in that world. And moreover, it is almost unaware that it holds this assumption. Furthermore, the mind, by its very nature, is unable to live in the ‘now.’ This is because the mind is all in the head and not in the heart.

In this way, many of us believe that the world created by the mind is reality, and we continue to create all kinds of suffering until we realize that it is actually all an illusion.

For instance, we sometimes blame a person for not giving us something we expect, which is very nonsensical.

This is because just as there are reasons for our mind to need it or to be obsessive with what our mind think is right, of course, everyone’s mind lives with various reasons for each mind to be obsessive with, and furthermore, not everyone is at the same level of spiritual awakening.

In fact, through its preoccupation, the mind creates the experiences that each of us needs to experience in collaboration with the subconscious mind.

Here, even though the mind tries to find the ‘only rightness’ that all minds support, it gives us the opportunity to face even deeper issues, but never actually brings the success that the mind expects.

This is because, for instance, the reason we have this Mind’s obsession with ‘right and wrong’ is not to find the ‘only rightness.’

In fact, we are always living in the freedom of choice, such as whether or not to go to the point where we transcend the illusional dual world of each of us through all our experiences.

Once again, we are not living to find what the mind thinks is ‘only rightness,’ but we are constantly offering ourselves the opportunity to transcend our own illusions in collaboration with the unknown (subconscious mind).

Therefore, it is impossible to apply the values of ‘right and wrong’ for everyone that one person’s mind has. Furthermore, in the non-dual world, where the Consciousness itself belongs, there are no judgments of ‘right and wrong’ at all. The richness and profoundness that far transcends such illusional values is our true nature, the Consciousness itself.

When everything is extreme, it is not inverted, but transcended.

If one could believe in the possibility of unknown richness and profoundness, and of the world beyond of suffering through the suffering, everyone would choose to face them rather than try to escape the suffering and pain in front of them.

Inevitably, then, the person can move toward the point of transcending the illusional dual world.

So, to get the point there, there’s a huge wall to believe in the possibility of the unknown, that is the most solid, massive, and in no way invisible to the eye that everyone faces.

We can’t see it, we can’t touch it, so we don’t know how to believe in it.

This is the most challenge that the mind faces.

That’s why many awakened souls say: ‘Feel rather than think.’ ‘Thoughts are just thoughts, and they are not facts,’ ‘Get away from identification with the Mind or ego,’ ‘It is our nature to be able to observe what we are thinking and the thoughts itself,’ and ‘It is the Consciousness itself that is the observer,’ etc.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

If you are in the midst of any kind of suffering, once stop relying on thoughts, try to adopt a physical approach for relaxation. Don’t rely on alcohol, drugs, or something like that, but find ways to relax your whole body. Our bodies are directly connected to our hearts, so freeing yourself from the physical tension that strain your body will make it easier to connect with your innermost silence.

In that silence, we can naturally see what we really need to do and see.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Finally.

Embrace the Mind or Ego with appreciation. Without it, none of us can awaken spiritually or transcend the dual world of the Mind.

And be grateful for the suffering you are facing now. Because it can lead you to the point where you can transcend illusions your mind create, if you opened your heart.

And learn from nature how to open your heart. Nature will never hurt you and is always whispering gently. 🙏🌈✨
