A Scientific Approach to Suffering

..from ancient India, today,

"Let’s traverse through the universe of the personality and understand some psychic laws, until we are able to transit to the world of spirit in order to understand how all this works in the realm of the heart. The first insight is that suffering acts like an autonomous complex or entity that takes over our psyche, as if we were being possessed. At some point in our human experience, the program of suffering was installed and we’ve been unconsciously repeating this program ever since.



Suffering announces itself through discomfort, sadness, and irritation. But in truth that only happens because at some moment we typed in the code that unlocked the door to suffering. All these symptoms of suffering are signs that our minds are identified with the past, holding us prisoner.



Suffering is only kept alive because at some level we take pleasure in it. This connection between negative repetitions and the vital current, which is pleasure, opens the doors to suffering and generates all the destruction in the world. This is the fuel that maintains pacts of vengeance and the vicious cycle of sadomasochism, which makes us repeat situations that hurt ourselves and others."
