The One and Only Reason Self-Created Suffering Happens
[I] start this post with a question. How many times today have you said I or My?Think about it, try to establish a rough idea of the final count.What a weird question to ask though, right? Why is this even relevant? And how does this relate to freedom??!!Let’s take a closer look at the dynamic at play.Firstly, I invite you to consider that every time you say [I] , awareness shows you that an IDENTIFICATION has taken place.An identification that I am the person in the thought or memory that is showing up at this moment.How old are you?When you thought about that question, you thought about the person, then the age, and then someone would say, [I] am..??This claiming of the [I] is the ONLY cause of self-created suffering. If there was no connection made to the [I], there can be no space for suffering to exist. If for one day you were someone else would your current past make you suffer?The answer is easy, simple and the answer is no. ? Someone else’s human experience is their pigsty of identification. Have you ever broken down the word identity?ID EntityWhat is ID?What is an entity?Could we then say the meaning of identity is an ID of an Entity?In 100% cases of emotional suffering, it’s the IDing of Adam (Entity) that creates it. 100% of the time!“If I believe that I am Adam, subsequently that means all of the past and future is associated to that entity too, right?”^^^Suffering includedFor some, this post may cause adverse reactions!? In my attempt to write words of freedom, the defence mechanism of the [Entity] will kick in. May I add, this is for safety and protection, it’s how the mind works. The defence is actually very intelligent, but that commentary can be kept for another time.Maybe you feel there is peace within this notion? Some space to see the dysfunction at play? Almost like a separation and unification happening simultaneously ? Paradoxes eh?!I AM not that…….but I AMTo wrap up this post. I invite you to consider the following…Who is {insert your name here}?Well, that probably is a body or personality (thoughts) you’re referring to, and in no way is that you! The body came before your PERSONality! And even before the personality and body is/was/always the soul, energy, and the divine creator.Self-realisation is rare but never discount it. Aim for this, always. If one cannot move past certain events, past, future, anxiety, depression, whatever it may be, enquire into the nature of the suffering itself.If you look with eyes of truth, you will see there is no sufferer, so suffering is made redundant. This is called ‘self-inquiry’.Can the observer…. (just) Be… OBSERVED?Namaste.You are.I am.P.s. Who’s really looking?! ?
