The Paradox Of Suffering And Awakening

The ego, in its attempt to strengthen itself, creates the distress that eventually brings about its own destruction. For many, this cycle can be the catalyst to higher consciousness. The emotional labor this paradox requires of us can free us to achieve career, personal and corporate success. When we allow our ego based fears to control us we become less conscious, less awakened. We are never upset for the reason we think.? We have lost our connection with the present moment. Life will not leave us alone; it will continue to challenge us.

The cost of inaction is we get to keep our pain. Much of the suffering we endure is self created by the ego. But suffering can also create a crack in the ego enabling separation to occur. We can only change our results by changing our level of consciousness. We are on the way to this new stage in our humanity even if we have to go through another episode of intense self created suffering on a huge scale the awakening consciousness is not lost. It is up to each one of us to make this shift in conscious occur.
