WHY YOU SUFFER

JOHN MCINTOSH

“Here is my secret: I don’t mind what happens.” – Krishnamurti


When the ONE SELF YOU Really are is fully Aware of ITs True Nature, IT ‘knows’ the world-universe is a dream. In this state there is no identification ‘with’ or attachment ‘to’ anything within ITs experience ‘of’ the dream. This is ‘neutral’ while a person watching a movie [which is similar to the Grand Dream], often identifies with and attaches to what is playing on the screen. The SELF ‘observes’ only. IT DOES however have compassion for the suffering of ITs sleeping counterpart lost in the dream, but ‘never’ pity since IT knows there are no such things as victims in a dream.


Attachment, identification and expectation [conditioning] is therefore the root ‘cause’ of all suffering and this is because “WHAT IS’ … is being resisted according to that conditioning. The false self [person] ‘wants’ the world to ‘be’ a certain way and when it is NOT, this ignites the conditioning and promotes resistance. This is why ‘Surrender’ or saying YES to WHAT IS … is so effective in dissolving the suffering associated with the dream.
