The "human organism" is naturally, functionally "self-referencing."
This is necessary for survival and is not, in itself, the "delivery system" for suffering.
It is the mistaken sense that this organism has the additional ability to somehow STAND APART from itself - to create its thoughts, feelings, and actions - that puts it in position for carrying the burdens of guilt and shame when things don't go as planned (or of pride and conceit when they do).
This "mistaken sense" is chimerical, and may be exposed as such, in the "all -inclusiveness" of present awareness.

The jewel of the mind
ReplyDeleteAll encompassing, and incorruptible
The inner wisdom-teacher
The glow of immediate awareness
The seed of the world’s joy
And the remedy for the world’s suffering.
Thanks, Vareda, for your interest and this lovely verse.
