Pain x Resistance = suffering
Craving + Aversion = Suffering
True Presence is Bliss
It really can be as simple as that. All of your suffering stems from your resistance to pain. Suffering comes from Craving and Aversion. I want this. I don’t want this. Cease your craving and aversion and you will cease to suffer. It really is that simple.

So if you are suffering currently, use that to your advantage. Don’t dwell in it, let it take you places.
Rest assured, no matter what happens, you are in good hands.
