Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Not.

The Present Moment Is Changing So Fast That We Often Do Not Notice Its Existence At All. Every Moment Of Mind Is Like A Series Of Pictures Passing Through A Projector. Some Of The Pictures Come From Sense Impressions. Others Come From Memories Of Past Experiences Or From Fantasies Of The Future.

The Principal Cause Of Suffering Is Craving. Once Craving Is Eliminated, Much Suffering Will Be Eliminated. Still More Suffering Will Be Eliminated Once Ignorance Is Eliminated. Both Craving And Ignorance Are Equally Powerful Defilements That Cause Suffering.

Due To Our Feelings Arising From Contact, We Think And We Rationalize, Conceptualize, Theorize, Philosophize And Speculate. Because Of The Feeling Arising From The Six Senses, We Increase Our Desire; We Come To Wrong Views And Wrong Beliefs. We Recall Our Past Sights, Smells, Sounds, Tastes, Touches And Ideas And Build Up More Desires, Thoughts, Concepts, Beliefs, Ideas, Theories And Philosophies.

No Problem. You Are Not Crazier Than You Were Yesterday. It Has Always Been This Way, And You Just Never Noticed.

You Can't Make Radical Changes In The Pattern Of Your Life Until You See Yourself Exactly As You Are Now. As Soon As You Do That Changes Will Flow Naturally.
