A Path of Freedom From Suffering
On one Sunday evening I opened my eyes from meditation and I had the first taste of freedom from suffering. Tears started flowing because I finally understood what it meant to be free from suffering even in the midst of a mind that was raging with noise.
When my brain was going crazy with doubt and complaints, I felt like I had no choice but to comply with the uncomfortable feelings. Relieving that was my utmost priority for the majority of my life. But for the first time I felt that I can be completely at peace with the feelings. I didn’t eliminate the feelings, but I didn’t have to be swept away by them.
Then a few months later I found a complete eradication of suffering. More importantly I found the pathway to arrive at that ultimate destination. I had verified the Buddha’s teachings to be true for me, and I understood the process well enough to replicate it for the people who are suffering.
Even before Buddhism, my mission as a life coach was to help people connect to their truest desires. My website (which needs an update) currently states: Live the life you always wanted to live. That’s what I wanted to provide to people. Since then my personal developments have updated that mission to, Live a life free of suffering.
I learned that even with a life with everything you want, suffering can still exist. I learned that some problems, no matter how many times you reframe it and digest it, will continue to feel like undigested food. I learned that certain limitations of our lives are so deeply entrenched in the unconscious, I won’t even be aware that it’s a limitation.
As long as you don’t know how to walk the path of freedom from suffering, you’re always susceptible to suffering. Any relief you can feel will temporary because bigger life problems are always recurring. When you only know how to live well on days you feel good, your happiness will depend on your mood. I’m interested in teaching you complete freedom that you can take with you with zero, ZERO dependencies.
Happiness (the Buddhist kind: lack of suffering) won’t come for free. If it does, it won’t be meaningful. Happiness can be savored and appreciated at every living moment if you know what it’s like to suffer. Your current suffering is like a pre-condition for the lack of suffering.
Even when you live life 100% well, you can’t guarantee that life will go your way. In the face of unexpected curve balls life throws at you, do you know what to do? Do you know what to do in the face of discomfort, pain, fear, feeling frozen, paralyzed, afraid, overpowered, and anything else life can throw at you?
