Freedom From All Suffering

It is emerging.

It is as if something immense has been covered up by thoughts and emotions. These clouds that are my identity block out the purity of this awareness like clouds across the sun.

 My identity is made up of thoughts that move through my head and trigger emotions stored within the body. That is all that it is. These thoughts and emotions trigger each other and create reactions within consciousness. At some point I became aware of this seemingly endless pattern. The reactions of my so-called internal world with the conditions of the so-called external world. This pattern was interrupted by awareness. Awareness of the whole movement of cause and effect.

Start small.

See just one fragment of this immense pattern. Take something that happens often. Getting mad at a situation. At someone. See it as a scientist would looking at a rat in a maze. Take notes. See the outcome. Watch how the pattern wants to take you over. You become it. You become the anger. This pattern applies to everything.

 See if you can free yourself from just a fragment and you will have discovered the key to freedom from all suffering.
