There are always two available views to choose from, one view is from “I” where you run away from life, but that follows you everywhere. The other view 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, until it’s realized there are two available views, you’ll most 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. Its controlling energy is immersed in the view of “I” and as long as this is in place, it will follow you everywhere. An “I” view keeps a one view limit 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 view that’s in place for most, there is another view that’s beneficial to your well being and this is because it brings you to a state where there’s freedom.
This freedom is from letting go of the view of “I” not from the suffering it causes because without “I” there’s no one to suffer. This view 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 whatever 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 an “I” view isn’t the only view available…
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.
