The Relationship Between Suffering and Neurosis
Is it possible to suffer when you're fully expanded or is all suffering in some sense tied to contraction? Oh, that's a good question. One thing I would say is that suffering or pain definitely causes contraction. So your entire world is the pain if you like. And you can do what you experience early with the picking an object exercise. Or you can try and push it away by over focusing on something else. You're still defined by pain, either way. Instead, what you can do against expand out, you kind of need the pain alone,. Neither suffering there, but it's in relation to a much bigger space.
