There are always two options available to choose from, one option is you run away from life, but that follows you everywhere. The other option is to be willing to face life which is the one that brings freedom…
Suffering in some form is pretty much a given because of the Conditioned Mind, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many lessons to learn in our life and until it’s realized there are two options, most people are likely to be stuck in the one where suffering follows you everywhere. This is the dog chasing its tail suffering and it never ends because it can’t. It’s controlling energy is immersed in the attachment to “I” and as long as this is in place it will follow you everywhere. “I” attachment keeps one side firmly locked in place, nothing satisfies the unquenchable thirst of “I” so this is why the suffering follows you everywhere; “I” is always thirsty. Even though this is the suffering that’s in place for most, there is another option that’s beneficial to your well being and this is because it brings you to a state where there is freedom.
This freedom is from the attachment to “I” not from suffering, but without “I” there’s no one to suffer. This option leads to freedom because as agitated energy arises and it will, instead of attaching to it you allow it to bring you to new insights and revelations; you are with the pain of what arises instead of pushing it away. There’s no reaching to mask it, there’s no running from it or using something as a distraction. What happens when you make a stand with what arises is the lies of “I” are exposed and if there’s no “I” 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 fall away, but understand this will only occur when “I” attachment isn’t the only option…
