Pain in this existence is pretty much a given, but it doesn’t have to be where it causes suffering. There are many lessons to learn in life and until it’s realized there are two ways you suffer and the one you’re most likely stuck in is the suffering that follows you everywhere, it will remain in place. This is the circular energy of suffering and it never ends because it can’t. It’s controlling energy is immersed in the attachment to it and as long as this is in place it will follow you everywhere. Attachment keeps it firmly locked in place, nothing satisfies the unquenchable thirst of attachment so this is why the suffering follows you everywhere; attachment is always thirsty. Even though this is the suffering that’s in place for most, there is another kind of suffering that is actually beneficial to one’s well being and this is because it pushes you to a state where there is freedom.
The freedom written about here is from attachment not the suffering because without attachment there’s no one to suffer. This is the kind of suffering that leads to freedom because as this energy arises and it will, instead of attaching to its circular energy, it pushes you to new insights and revelations; you are with the pain of what arises instead of pushing the suffering away. There’s no reaching to mask this, there’s no running from it or using something as a distraction. What happens when one makes a stand and is with what arises, the lies of attachment are exposed, and if there’s no attachment there’s nothing for the suffering to follow; liberation naturally occurs. Read this very carefully and if the full meaning of this can be grasped, freedom from the suffering that’s been following you around for most of your life will begin to lag behind you, but understand this the lagging will only occur when there is no attachment for suffering to follow…
