Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self created suffering comes to an end.

Suffering needs time. It cannot survive in the now.

The purpose of the world is for youto be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer, to create the suffering that seems to be what is needed for the awakening to happen.

The ego says, I shouldn't have to suffer, and that thought makes you suffer so much more.

Become an alchemist. Transmute base metal into gold, suffering into consciousness, disaster into enlightenment.

The more suffering you create, the more suffering comes to you.

Much suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.

When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.
