Suffering (psychological) is not an illusion,
but an emotionally-charged inner fiction.
Many of these fictional dramas are played out
with the external world.

Suffering (psychological) is essentially
personal resistance
to accepting life
on its terms.

Suffering
Suffering is not an illusion, it is very painful, full of stress and pressure. Suffering is your entire being trying to communicate with you that an infrastructure shift is needed in perspective and attitudes.
Much suffering is self-imposed by our freedom to choose
Much is inherited from the culture we are domesticated into
All suffering can be shaped and re-forged
When heart is opened
When self is embodied
Life will find its way thru you!
Stop trying.
Let yourself become undone.
Love life and all aspects of life, unconditionally and Life will take up residence and you will merge with the flow of life.
In 2001 I asked for guidance to fully explore (and be engulfed in) suffering.
In 2007 I asked for guidance to see the purpose of suffering.
Today (August 10, 2009), on the way via water to Annapolis the above verses arrived.
How important it is to allow enough time for our lessons to unfold and be fully received.
