You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

~~Hermann Hesse

Yesterday today tomorrow…
As I began to read the quote above instantly I had thoughts of the world… I had thoughts of how many people in the world feel the emotion… or the burden of “suffering”…
It tends to have many faces… or rather people give it many faces…

Suffering is currently found in places like Haiti and Chile… suffering is found on the streets of downtown Toronto… it’s found in the homes of the lower class middle class and believe it or not… the upper class…
It has many guises… evokes many emotions… and is said to be the cause of many failures and many successes…
Anything we can find or make in this world has its-self and its-opposite… it has its-self and it has its-antidote…

Suffering is said to be caused due to a lack of action… whether action with-in or action with-out…
Without action the status is considered dormant… and anything that is not in motion is dying… thus the feeling of suffering
It’s plastered in our faces every single day on television in magazines on the net… everywhere! Seeming sometimes to be a household item… so much that for some… suffering just seems to be the norm… humans seem to draw or be drawn to this phenomenon…

But think about this… is it possible that the human “suffers” because there is a lack of knowledge of Self… a lack of overstanding of this world and connection with its Creator?

In a world of duality hot cannot exist without cold… there is no good where evil exists not…
There is a delicate balance that makes our eco-system work… and a delicate balance that makes our internal system work…
Within this balance we must be grounded in the knowing that the pendulum swings to the left in the same distance that it swings to the right… that is Law… like gravity… jump off of a building and you will fall!

But check this out…
The Master knows these Laws and when facing the swinging pendulum raises his or her level of “being” - in the world and not of it - so as to minimize the reverse swing…
The Master overstands that this is just the way of Life and uses this knowledge to avoid being completely engulfed in circumstances and situations… and if by chance or design they participate in an event that one would call unfortunate… they have the wisdom to know that they can find/make success out of it… whether for their Self or for someone else…

Our internal beacon shines bright… Love is one element that cannot be put out…
It is easy to say that we are suffering… how easy is it to say that we are Love?

Once a man knows his Self… once a woman knows her Self… they then realize that there is a power within them… a light that can never be dimmed or darkened… a love that has no limit nor boundary…

There is no need to find that love… it is there all day every day… we just have to open our Selves to being a light and shining no matter how dark our circumstances may seem…

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
~~ Jesus (Matthew 6:26 – Bible)
