"What is the cause of suffering?
According to many spiritual teachers, suffering is caused by ignorance.
Because we are ignorant of who we truly are, we identify with a mental image of self, and we become emotionally attached and concerned with validating and protecting this illusory image.
So how do we awaken from this ignorance?
How do we come to know our true selves?
We awaken from ignorance through becoming aware of that which we have been ignoring.
/.../
We are one, expressed as many.
Seeing yourself in all, you fall in love with all.
This Love for existence is the source of true happiness, freedom, and peace.
The only thing preventing us from this is the fear of discovering what is true."
