Episode notes
Resistance Causes All Suffering
- Resistance to experiences causes suffering, not the experiences themselves. It can be physical resistance or emotional resistance internally created by willpower.
- Without resistance, energy flows through you naturally, preventing pain and disturbance inside.
Emotional Pain Is Resistance
- Emotional pain stems from the energy you resist inside, not from the event itself. This resistance locks the energy inside, creating tension, stress, and suffering.
- Accepting or allowing the energy to flow through you frees you from storing painful experiences.
Willpower Concentrates Consciousness
- Willpower is the concentrated energy of consciousness within you. It has the power to resist experiences or to allow them through.
- Your ability to focus your awareness creates a force that can either block or let energy pass.
