The Dis-Ease Of Ignorance
When we don’t ignore the truth of our reality which is pure consciousness, we gain confidence, perfectly at ease with whatever happens. We know we’re not going to change people who ignore their reality, but we are no longer dissuaded by them, for they know not what they do. π
Through ignorance, we suffer. We feel uncomfortable within the reality we have created, and this makes us hostile to any suggestion that there is an original reality.
There are influencers offering false affection which supports our false confidence. This maintains ego, rather than putting a dent in it.
The acknowledgment that we are suffering is the Buddha’s first noble truth that sets us on the path to enlightenment.
Dharma isn’t picnic sing-along
or a nitpicking word game to plaster over the wounds.
The rawness of life
is our open wound of karma
β it teaches and instructs!
