The end of suffering is not found in the pursuit of freedom from suffering, but in realizing the divided nature of desire that imagines and identifies with a pain-free time or a place to come, only to imprison itself in a fear it may lose the heaven it has imagined.

Negative reactions create chains. All chains are made by machines. To see that you are not a machine instantly releases you from becoming identified with any painful chain reaction.

Have you ever talked yourself into a dark place -- or watched someone else do it -- by identifying with a negative reaction that wouldn’t be there at all if it wasn’t being fueled by the fear of some pain as imagined coming?

There is no flood, no raging waters to be crossed in a time to come. There is only the movement of life now.
