When one wakes up and sees the delusion of the attached conditioning that’s been put in place to cope with situations, it’s freeing, but only to the extent that the delusion is let go of. This basically means going against the conditioned way that most people view life from. Although waking up doesn’t make a person special, it does make one seem odd or peculiar because they aren’t in line with the way everyone else responds to life situations.
This writing stems from the fact that the woman who had the label of my mother, went through dementia before passing. What has arisen in me is seeing how much suffering this situation caused all those involved with it. Although the suffering is optional, it’s not seen in this way because of the coping mechanisms caused by one attaching to the delusional conditioning the world has in place; this is delusional thinking even though it seems right. Understanding this has afforded me the awareness of not being pulled into the suffering, but it makes it look like a person doesn’t care about what’s happening. Compassion has arisen in me for all those involved with this situation because of how it’s caused so many to suffer, but this compassion isn’t seen by those who are suffering.
It’s only the delusional conditioning of attachment that causes one to suffer with any situation. The conditioned way of the world is to cope with suffering with actions that keep the suffering in place. This is the delusion in place that keeps one suffering by attaching to unconscious actions that cause more suffering, and although the one who wakes up from the sleep of this delusion may be looked upon by others as being peculiar or odd and not caring, the alternative is to attach to the delusional way of the Conditioned Mind with actions that cause more suffering; insanity to say the least…
