SUFFERING


Therefore, to be fully human is to also be divine.  Spirit is inherent, it is implicit in our full humanity.

What’s troublesome is that we seem to be hypnotized by reason and reason, invariably, takes us further and further away from our centre, away from spirit.  

The further away we get from spirit, the closer we get to suffering.  And while suffering is also a part of being fully human, we run the risk of it taking over our lives.

Paradoxically, as a fully human species we not only posses spirit AND are aware of possessing spirit, we are capable, at the same time, of knowingly inflicting suffering.
