How are feeling suffering and freedom related, a woman asks. She says that being open awareness doesn't stop the feeling of intense, unbearable suffering. Rupert responds that suffering is resistance to what is. Suffering is always the thought or feeling, 'I don't like what is present'.

Suffering is wanting or not wanting what is presently happening. That is, if we are resisting or pushing away what is and longing for what is not, we will always suffer.

When we see our true nature clearly, we know that what we truly are can not suffer – all we are infinite awareness or consciousness, shining, pure and untouched. The nature of awareness is pure being which is open and allowing. Just like the space of a room, it doesn't reject anything that happens inside the room.

In this non-dual understanding, accepting everything as it is becomes natural and freedom from suffering ensues. That is, accepting what is is the ultimate freedom that comes from recognising our true and shared nature of pure being or consciousness, sometimes referred to as oneness.

This clip comes from one of Rupert's retreats at Mercy Center, CA, 24 - 31 October, 2021.
