Transcending Suffering and Unlocking Liberation

When suffering persists seemingly unabated, continually visiting and even tormenting the self, it can be quite cruel indeed, my friends. It is quite easy for us to speak to your experience from a distance and not from the firsthand interior lived perspective which you know. And we empathize, for we see how life often seems to bring you to your knees. How you may have thoughts of just how easy it may be to bring it all to an end. Who could carry such a load? Who could be expected to endure so much? Why must it be so hard? These and other words born of anguish and agony and despair are heard and received by our hearts, and we are called to offer comfort and solace, and we hope some orienting points of inspiration. That you may not be so encumbered and so shackled to this story of suffering, that you may come to recognize that within the seed of each thread of suffering within your life is a means of liberation from suffering, from these limited containers into which the self has seemingly become locked.
