We suffer

We suffer, that is a fact. everyday some sense of the loss, the lack, the hopelessness of existence, is present. We structure our lives to avoid it, to not think about it, to not experience the pain. we do not exist to suffer, but we do suffer to exist. every thought, feeling or action contains the potential to create more or reduce the amount of suffering. that which is purely for the satisfaction of the human ego, increases suffering, that which has no element of personal gain, reduces suffering. Suffering is universal, all human systems contain it. it is in the very fabric of our thoughts and DNA. we are not separate from its effects. yet it is the greatest illusion of all.for what is suffering? its the belief that we are destined to lose everything, either in this life or when we die. it is the sense of ownership taken away. the fact that nothing is ours and never was, so all is lost no matter what we think we gain. This is the truth of the material world, there is nothing that is ours, born without possessions, we leave this world and all we have accumulated. But without the concept of ownership, where is the suffering, it becomes gratitude, for everything is given, nothing is owned or acquired, so nothing can be lost. if all we have is shared, as the whole world is, as everything in the world is a gift from birth until death, then what is suffering? there is the feeling that one life is better than another one has more gifts one less? but what is that but judgement and who suffers, the judge. one who accepts that all is a gift, is grateful for whatever is given, has transcended suffering, one who judges if the gifts are adequate or not, equal or unequal, that one is suffering, in a delusion that cannot accept what has been given. when you own nothing, then nothing can be taken from you. all is the divine in everything expressing love and giving continuously, we either receive and feel the unending bliss of love and gratitude, or we resist and suffer thinking all is lost everything we have will be lost, we are lost. being lost is not knowing where you are, not seeing the unending grace everywhere around you. being lost is thinking there is somewhere else that is better, has less suffering. but its not the world around us that is suffering, its the human system, recognizing it has no hope of surviving and trying desperately to not accept that. acceptance is not piecemeal, its all or nothing. rejection of anything, is resistance and suffering. to see the total picture, that we are only gifts from the source of all existence, our life is a joyous miracle and all is truly the perfection of the truth awareness bliss consciousness that creates all existence, and we are just here to experience that and nothing more, whatever happens is not our doing, we are like the sense organs of the divine, touching and seeing and hearing everything. we do nothing but exist, all is the experience of the divine using us as the very organs of transmission. suffering is not accepting this. there is no changing it, just resistance. become the divine truth, become the experiencing, we are the process of existence, allowing the universe to experience itself.
