Ep. 137 – The Nature of Struggle
Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein
Awakening the Edge
Suffering is a signal or it illuminates the fact that we have come to some edge in our minds, in our hearts of what we're willing to be with. Often we're afraid to feel the pain and so fear creates a sense of contraction or pulling back. Because of the fear in the mind, we contract, we withdraw and we get tight. The effect of that contraction is simply to create more pain. We lock pain on top of pain, tension on top of tension. It's not a very skillful way or a helpful way to relate to the painful feelings that come.
