Stuck in Form

It’s strictly from form that one attaches to wanting things different which in turn causes you to get stuck in form which creates your own suffering…

If you really want to know what the basic flaw seems to be that keeps one stuck in their own suffering, it’s attaching to form to a fault. It’s not that we don’t exist or that we’ll be able to transcend our human form, it’s more so to find a way to embrace it and not get stuck in it. It will always be succumbing to form in some way that causes your suffering. It doesn’t have to be attached to, but it will take discipline so the mind settles to see this. It’s always form that wants things different and it’s always attaching to the story of form that causes suffering. This is true regardless of the circumstances.

Here’s an example of the charade of form that pulls one into suffering. I ordered shoes online and when they were delivered I tried them on and they didn’t fit. By my first reaction you would have thought I was going to have to go shoeless, but that wasn’t the case. I attached to them not fitting and didn’t accept the fact that the shoes simply didn’t fit. This is what attaching to form does and when I saw how childish wanting things different was, it fell away and I was able to simply send the shoes back. You can substitute the shoes with anything and you’ll get the same childish results of suffering. This is all because to be human is to desire. But it’s strictly from form that one attaches to wanting things different which in turn causes you to get stuck in form which is what creates your own suffering…
