There are different ways to exist, one of those ways is to run away from life, but that follows you everywhere. Another way is to be willing to face life which is the way that allows liberation.
Suffering in this existence is pretty much inevitable because of the Conditioned Mind, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many lessons to learn in life, but until it’s realized there are different ways to exist the one you’re most likely to be stuck in is the one where suffering follows you everywhere. This is the dog chasing its own 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” keeps suffering firmly locked in place, nothing satisfies the unquenchable thirst of “I” so this why the suffering follows you everywhere; “I” is always thirsty. Even though this is the suffering in place for many, there is another way to exist that is beneficial to your well being and this is because it reveals a state of liberation.
This liberation is from the attachment to “I” not from suffering because without “I” there’s no one to suffer. This leads to liberation because as agitated energy arises, and it will, instead of attaching to it you allow it to reveal new insights and revelations; you’re with 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. When you make a stand with what arises the lies of “I” are revealed, 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 liberation 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 there isn’t an “I” to follow the suffering…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
