Two Types of Suffering

There are two types of suffering, one is you run away from it, but it will follow you everywhere. The other is to be willing to face it which is the way that will bring you freedom…

Pain in this existence is pretty much a given, but it doesn’t have to be where it causes suffering. There are many lessons to learn in life and until it’s realized there are two types of suffering, the one you’re most likely to be stuck in is the suffering that follows you everywhere. This is the circular energy of suffering and it never ends because it can’t. Its controlling energy is immersed in attachment and as long as this is in place, it will follow you everywhere. Attachment keeps suffering firmly locked in place. Nothing satisfies the unquenchable thirst of attachment so this is why suffering follows you everywhere; attachment is always thirsty. Even though this is the suffering that’s in place for most, there is another type of suffering that is actually beneficial to one’s well being, this is because it pushes you to a state where there is freedom.

The freedom written about here is from attachment not suffering because without attachment there’s no one to suffer. This is the type of suffering that leads to freedom because as this energy arises and it will, instead of attaching to its circular energy, it pushes you to new insights and revelations; you’re with the pain of what arises instead of pushing the suffering away. There’s no reaching to mask this, there’s no running from it or using something as a distraction. What happens when one makes a stand with what arises is the lies of attachment are exposed, so if there’s no attachment 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 lag behind you. But understand this, the lagging will only occur when there‘s no attachment for suffering to follow…
