Why are you suffering? Look deeply to see who is suffering? What suffering is there if there is no one to suffer?

On the general, relative level of appearance, there seems to be a person with problems. But look at it more closely. In this very moment, this very presence of being, is there a problem?

Look at the illusion of time; as you sit and a moment passes, where is that moment NOW? It doesn’t exist, it only arises as a memory, which is arising when? NOW! There is only now, there is no passage of time, there is only now appearing, that’s it.

In this very moment, without going into memory, what problem is there? You must go into the assumed past to retrieve information about time in order for a problem to exist. Let’s say someone crossed you somehow, let’s say yesterday. Where is that event? Does it exist now, except in a thought that is arising in the present moment?

These thoughts about being wronged and all this are very appealing, in a perverse sort of way, because they give this identity of a separate self its seeming reality. Without such dramas, such a “self” wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. That’s why these fabrications of a wronged person arise so easily. They give the character its role to play in this drama called life.

There are two ways to go, either keep on believing in this pathetic, wronged, idea of a person, or break those shackles and see who you are. You were never that idea, never that thought that rose up.

What you are is ALL, every single aspect of the game. You are what appears to be the wronged person, and the so called person that wronged you. It’s all one expression, so how are you damaged by any of this? It’s just the Absolute expressing itself, and You Are That!
