    How to Be free From Suffering

    Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 8:58 PM [General]

    "Your suffering is not
    because you feel lonely,
    or you feel sad, worthless
    or unsuccessful or any of that.

    You suffer because
    you avoid this moment.

    At an unconscious level,
    you refuse to accept
    your experience in this moment
    and therefore resist it.

    The mind is always
    interested in changing
    this moment.

    And the self help industry
    has made millions
    telling you how you
    can be different than you are,
    how you can be better.

    As though there is something
    wrong with you.
    As though you happened
    to be a factory second.

    God hiccuped
    and now here you are
    stuck in experiencing something
    that isn't right.

    But there is no hiccup.

    You are as you are.
    Your experience is as it is.

    And the only way
    to contentment
    is to be present in this.

    To find a way
    through meditation
    to surrender your resistance
    to this moment.

    To let go of all of the
    manipulative ways
    you try and change what is,
    and simply be alive
    in what is.

    You may think someone
    is happier because
    they are better looking than you,
    richer than you,
    more loved by others,
    more confident,
    had a happier childhood,
    and its all nonsense.

    The key to happiness
    is to be alive in this moment.
    Whether you just won the lottery
    or you just got a paper cut.

    Be alive in that.
    Don't try and resist it,
    be present in it.

    Experience it directly beyond
    the mind perception.

    Beyond all of the judgments
    that say this is good, this is bad,
    this is right, this is wrong.

    If you commentate on it in any way,
    you have just invented yourself
    as a person that is separate
    from this moment.

    All of your problems
    will dissolve and you will
    be completely fulfilled
    if you do this one thing:
    If you be alive in this moment.

    If you willingly
    let go of the idea
    of who you are and what you know
    and experience
    life, living in this moment
    for the first time.

    Because it is always
    the first time.

    You are born
    in this very moment.
    In every moment.

    It's only when you carry
    dead things into this moment
    that there is the illusion
    that you are a person
    with problems that need to be solved.


    Blessings,


    Kip"
