Suffering and its response

Suffering is caused not by external situations, but by our inner response to situations. We suffer our overactive imaginations. 

Our inner response to the outside world/external situations determines our degree of suffering/anguish.

When the inner response is based on truth/understanding, then there is perfect alignment. You cannot cheat yourself out of truth.

This simple realization if truly internalized can heal a lot of trauma. But it can take a lot of suffering to truly internalize it.

Blessed are those who realize it sooner rather than later.

Intense emotions, suffering, regret

Mental anguish/Regret is one of the trickiest feelings.

It feels intense and stuck in thought loops of ceaselessly dwelling on the regrettable/anguish inducing action.

Only when it passes and one re-experiences clarity of perspective that it occurs how darkly immersed we were.

It seems almost impossible to believe that the anguish will end.

Yet, it passes. Eventually.

All states of mind eventually pass - come and go - and on disappearing the background clarity of simply being is revealed.

At the background is always simply clear beingness in the present moment.

All the anguish/regret/anxieties/miseries/despair eventually passes to reveal the naked clarity underneath.

This is the gift of suffering. To reveal that which lies beyond it.

Rant

I have nothing to say.

I only feel uneasy. 

Like wanting to scream and explode inside.

I hate it all.

Absolute hatred.

Why can't I just fuk it all?

Living a fake life.

#Insight~

 Our lives seem like a cozy imaginary escape from the terrifying (but liberating) reality of eternity.

Experience

Ultimately, there is only this experience.

Happening spontaneously.

Arising automatically.

There is only experiencing happening as it is.

What can be said about it?

Direct experience without getting stuck in the labyrinth of thoughts/dreams.

Experiencing aware of the experience.

Hasn't it always been like this?

What has seeking and striving really brought about?

Experiencing cannot stop itself. It cannot start itself.

Nothingness cannot be experienced. The absence of experience cannot be experienced.

Whatever it is that exists is 'perpetually' experiencing itself.

There is nothing other than this to attain. And nothing to avoid.

Simply stop running after illusions. Then you can finally rest in the original state experiencing itself.

Nothing to attain. Nothing to avoid.

Simply this. AS IT IS.

Just this

Just this moment. As it IS.

Feeling the beingness.

Nothing extraordinary, nothing special.

Simply this ordinary moment being aware.

No questions.

Simply being.

Now. Here. 

Is there anything else needed?
