the spiritual teaching or teach now if it is true says okay do you realize that
you don't need to suffer anymore are you fed up enough with suffering or would
you like to hang on to suffering anybody who has come here today has
already suffered enough otherwise you wouldn't be here so in a way your
suffering has been wonderful because it's taken you to this point I know that
I wouldn't be sitting here without having had dreadful suffering and pain
soit's it's taken you here and now the message that comes is further suffering
is not necessary if you voluntarily step into the new state of consciousness you
choose the kingdom of heaven life doesn't have to drag you into it
kick you into the kingdom of heaven it's painful it did led to me but now my job
is to tell people that you don't have to wait for that to happen to you choose
the new state and you're able to do that I wouldn't tell this to anybody but not
anybody comes here if you're coming here your level of consciousness the new
consciousness is sufficiently emerged already for you to understand what I
mean when I say you can choose to live in the state that is free of suffering
you can choose the state in which suffering is not possible anymore
unhappiness does not arise not a state in which you close yourself and you
become okay nothing can touch me anymore protective shell nothing to do with that
because if nothing can touch if you have a protective shell around
you that means that all the beautiful and good things can't touch you anymore
either that's not what it is it's a state of complete openness a state of
such intense presence that unhappiness has no where to cling to any more
because unhappiness can only cling to a mentally made sense of self a little me
past which moves continuously in past and future and continuously ignores the
now so the realization that in the now there are no problems and there is no
unhappiness and the unhappy me that lives through past and future dissolves
as you become present that's the teaching that's the very same message
that the Buddha gave 2,600 years ago and a few people got it and then
misinterpretations started because the mind started getting in there and say
okay let's work this out what does it really mean how can we categorize it how
can we make a system out of that so it's heavy superstructure of mind stuff arose
on top of the beautiful teaching so this always happens the mind tries to get in
there and so the heaviness of religion arises on top of the purity and
simplicity of the original teaching and this is the simplicity of the original
teaching we are going back to that
freedom from pain is possible now
now first that means you understand how pain arises it arises by not being
present to this moment by running away by fighting by denying by running away
internally from what is so that's how pain arises always when you accept what
is the new state of consciousness immediately is present so you can't
separate acceptance of what is from the new state of thoughtless awareness the
moment you fully accept what is the new state of thoughtless awareness is
present the whole mind stuff is resisting what is its very existence the
very ground for its existence is the continuous state of resistance to what
is so resistance to what is and the old consciousness go together so our
practice is to not resist what is and thereby access the power of life and yet
that may not immediately free you of all pain and suffering because humans have
been in that state for many thousands of years and there is an energy field of
pain that every human being inherits simply by the very fact that you are
born into the human condition into the unenlightened painful human condition in
ultimately mad human condition up to this point you are born into that so
every human being has a share of human pain that comes even from very
as you are born into this world you're already born with a burden of pain so
this is a very important part of our practice and realization it is not a
facile thing of saying okay from now on we can all be happy it goes deeper than
that and we are not running away also we are not running away from the fact that
in you there lives an energy field of residue of past human pain on a personal
level pain from childhood that leaves residues energetic residues different
things painful things has happened to you in charge it and of course far
beyond that in time but let's just talk from the level of your present existence
in this form pain that is carried over from your childhood and Beyond and
leaves doesn't go away completely it leaves residues of pain and energy
fields everything is energy then those energy fields get together
because they feel they vibrate at the same frequency so emotional pain gathers
into one mass of pain contracted energy that isn't flowing freely an energy of
that I call the pain body that humans carry inside an energy field of pain and
it's if you don't recognize that no matter how much spiritual practice you
do and even what we are doing here if you do not see you do not recognize how
the pain body operates it will trick you every time and you will lose
consciousness through it so I want I want to address it now
first we realize there is an energy field of pain in me that may manifest
either as turbulence anger heaviness like depression tightness fear whatever
weight manifests it's not pleasant it's painful it's past pain residues but very
much alive still you carry it inside but you're not always conscious of it and I
talked about it briefly in one chapter of the book so we go into it a little
bit more deeply now and now there's the added energy of presence that we take
into the pain body the pain body is sometimes dormant and sometimes active
it becomes active when you suddenly feel it very strongly when it needs to feed
on further experience of pain as it always has to do regularly like it's a
little entity almost it needs feeding temporarily on the experience of further
pain and you will know that this has happened when a relatively insignificant
trigger produces an incredible outburst reaction of pain the minor thing goes
wrong or somebody says something or your partner does something or says something
and they're suddenly in a deep or even a thought comes in and suddenly it it
serves as a trigger for an immense the arising of deep emotional pain at that
moment the pain body this energy field has come up out of its dormant state it
is ready to feed on more pain it produces first two ways in which it
quite put it at that clearly in the book you explained in the next book there are
two ways in which it produce it feeds on the third X because it's all you can
feed on you cannot in pain body consists of that energy of pain it needs please
where can I get more pain it it reads on your thoughts when it's ready to rise up
it will control your thinking it rises into the mind and the mind which is your
thought activity becomes aligned with the pain body every thought you think is
destructive and painful and the pain body loves it it gobbles up the energy
of every sort that you think every destructive and deeply negative thought
it eats it up so to speak and it's having a good time it's feeding and at
that moment one way of putting is is one could say that that is the addictive
quality of human pain addictive because it loves its plane when the pain body
has taken you over and has succeeded in pretending that that's who you are
you're all you're thinking is completely aligned with it and it's feeding on it
at that very moment the least thing you want the last thing you want is to be
free of pain at that moment pain is what you want because at that moment you are
the pain body and anybody who tells you that if I came into your life at that
moment and gave you this message that in life free from pain is possible you
would hit me over the head
because the pain body would be there and I would be talking to the pain body and
the pain what he would be talking back at me so that the pain body needs to
come in periodically and you will all you all have
experience date with partners finding the ideal partner and after a few weeks
realignment there's another side to them that periodically they become a little
monster and then thinking oh I must have made a dreadful mistake
you haven't everybody has a pain body including yourself but it's a bit more
difficult to see the little monster coming up in yourself know the pain body
will use your thinking it will feed on your negative and destructive thinking
it can go on now how long the feeding time loss of a particular pain body
varies greatly from person to person it could be a brief one a pain body that
reads very quickly could be an hour or two some pain what is have a feeding
time of several weeks even months that's extreme and in very extreme cases there
are some pain bodies that are have virtually no dormant stage they are
continuously feeding and active but that's more rare but also happens these
you sometimes meet people who are and you look into their eyes and you can see
they are the pain body is looking at use from their eyes and they are waiting for
an excuse to have more still wanders you to give them a painful reaction they
want you to be angry with them they want you to attack them that's people who are
totally possessed by the pain body so level one pain body feeds on your
thinking level to pain body feeds on the feedback of amore
no pain from other people so it will not only use your thinking it might even
predominantly use somebody else's reactions in relationships when the pain
body is ready to arise and treat it will provoke a reaction in your partner or
the partner does it to you pushes the right buttons because it
wants pain the pain body loves the drama this is why drama is an essential part
of most relationships the pain body needs feeding and you could be saying
suddenly it comes in at the slightest trigger there it is so it feeds on the
other person's reaction and that's where drama arises in the relationship and it
gives me more pain peace and the mind the mind is aligned with it so the mind
will find wonderful ways of rationalizing why it'll add to it
through disc and heated discussions or shouting matches so it's totally and and
then the other person's pain body awakens and the two feet on each other
until feeding time is over and these are the two pain bodies subside to go to
sleep digesting food
and then the relationship for a while is harmonious again and then the cycle
starts again so pain body feeding on thinking pain body feeding on other
people's reactions now I mentioned the unhappy me a mind pattern that people
are identified with an unhappy sense of self this mind pattern when the pain
body is active becomes amplified its energy the energy of the unhappy me when
the pain body moves into that mind pattern that already has been telling
you your life isn't good enough and so on and you may not make it and want it
life has passed me by and so on now the pain body moves into that mind pattern
and it's energy gets amplified ten times twenty times fifty times a hundred times
in other words the unhappy me in the pain body arises it flows into that mind
structure the emotion flows into the mind structure the unhappy sense of me
becomes dreadfully unhappy and loves its unhappiness because that it's it's what
it consists of now all that it is it is not a foreign body that lives in you it
is there's nothing that is not life energy even the pain body its life
energy except that it isn't flowing freely
it's got stuck somewhere and when energy gets stuck and cannot flow freely pain
arises like a river if a river cannot flow the water accumulates in pressure
cumulates but it's really it's beautiful life energy the water is still beautiful
but there's pressure accumulating inside that's what the pain body is now as we
bring presents this consciousness into the pain body it no longer
no longer fool you into completely identifying with it
the presence as the pain arises from now on you and many of you two of you
already practicing that pain arises the pain body comes up and at that moment
you will recognize it as the pain body that's the beginning of freedom from it
the recognition when it comes slight trigger provocation even a thought deep
pain arises in whatever form in some people it's our very active pain active
aggressive pain in other persons it's a passive form of pain poor little me
victim pain doesn't matter which pain bodies have different qualities in
different people it may be turbulence or heaviness or tightness or constriction
it doesn't matter what it is as it arises you will know there is a
witnessing presence and you watch oops there's the same body and you feel the
energy field of it in your body both you can feel it in the solar plexus or
stomach area sometimes in the belly as a a dreadful sense of Oh heaviness or some
people perceive just a big hole with some gaping hole inside or it may be
intense anger but whatever it is if you watch it this is why sitting here is so
helpful because the witnessing presence which is part of this new state of
consciousness is get so much strength and simply by sitting in this energy
field so you the water will be there watching the pain so the pain cannot use
your mind anymore it cannot feed on your thinking because you're watching it
directly it cannot drink into your mind and then become an unhappy me so all
that's left of the pain is an energy field of char balance or
heaviness but the pain has not become unhappy me an unhappy sense of self of
who you are that's the beginning of the end of the pain but our practice is
allowing what is to be and that also applies as long as the pain body is
there in you allowing the pain that is there you also to be that is a very
powerful practice so I'm not saying we are not fighting the pain we are not
even trying to get rid of it you bring the consciousness which is a very
compassionate state of allowing what is it's very powerful state it implies
you're present as the one who is able to allow you are the one who is able to
allow the pain to be you know you're not creating this pain at this moment
because you practice accepting what is so it's not pain that you are creating
it's old pain you bring the acceptance to the old pain this wonderful state is
powerful practice is does not just concern what happens to you externally
allowing this moment to be as it is it includes the arising of pain in the pain
body you watch it feel it allow it so you bring presence into it you meet the
presence meets the pain body he is the pain body and there comes the silent
space of presence okay and you hold the state of presence as you guess the
turbulence happens then the pain body is not replenishing itself you've cut the
link between the main body and your thought
processes it's not feeding on your thinking anymore you're watching it now
the best time to to catch it and watch it is as it first arises in you at the
new first notice it arising to immediately become very alert with every
cell of your body and feel it it is and stay alert stay present continue to
watch this is the beginning of the transmutation of pain the more you watch
the less it can feed it loses its energy charge every time you stay present as
the watch out of it it's not gaining new energy in fact it's losing energy as the
plain body but the very energy that was trapped in there as the plain body
becomes part of the aliveness of who you are the many people's life energy is to
a large extent trapped in their pain body they have little access to their
aliveness because the pain absorbs so much of their aliveness and it's all
trapped in there in a big unhappy me and it nothing is flowing there's no flow
whatsoever there's only a big a huge contraction many human beings are one
big contraction it's amazing the egoic state it's one big contract its massive
flows and s the energy becomes freed that's in the pain body there's an
incredible increase in aliveness and vitality and of course pain goes it
remote it will not go the very first time you do it you will have to do it
many times it will many times it will try to arise again it will arise many
times you will lose it you will lose yourself in it again that's right it's
all part of this there will be times when it will take
although again and afterwards you remember oh there it was and I missed it
completely you might have gone through three hours of drama with your partner
and afterwards you say oh that was the main body I'm missing completely that's
alright next time maybe you'll catch it and know that it's there the good thing
is that the pain body becomes actually your ally in your presence practice
because without it very few people would have enough motivation to enter the new
state of consciousness every time the pain body comes until you
know this fact the pain what he will trick you every time and you will lose
consciousness every time but now that you know this whenever it comes it
becomes incorporated into your practice of presence so the more often it comes
the better it is you're lucky if you have a strong pain body you're lucky
it's good for your practice it can become a great teacher that's that is
that that is the most actually the most powerful part of your practice is to
work with the pain body and see how quickly the transmutation happens when
it no longer is an unhappy me it simply pain not pleasant but you can allow it
and there's an incredible intensification of presence every time
you bring it to the pain body now those of you who have very hands dense or
heavy pain bodies will need more intense presence most people who are that I know
who have gone to become almost free of pain they're not yet many you are
completely free but they will be our people have had very dense memories
because their motivation is stronger to be free
