The Way Out of Suffering [Mooji:] Sometimes we are just miserable
because we are miserable. It's not, "Oh, it's because this person, 
they did this thing" and so on.

It is like Jesus shared one time, He said, 'These people, 
they hate me without reason.' They will produce something and say, 'he speaks against our country and all". But it is not that. It is something inside. The egoic nature is easily disturbed.

If you rock the boat a little bit he is disturbed. Then he wants to, 'Ahrrr,' attack you.
'Leave my life alone.' And yet, you need so much that your boat
is tipped and toppled over. So, if one knows that you are not going to be 

good enough that everybody loves you. As I said before, there has never been a being, in the history of any universe, who has been loved by everybody, 
and that includes God. Not even God is loved by everyone. So, something inside, just in the force of life
plays as opposite.

And it doesn't really need a reason, 
it just comes out, because this is the realm 
of interrelated opposites. So if there is joy there will be some sorrow. You cannot just sieve it out
and just take out all the bad bits,

because very often the bad bits lead 
to the so-called good bits. The bits are very much subjective. There is not anything inherently bad 
or anything inherently good, in the phenomenal sense. It is our perception that makes them
good or bad,

and that is also shaped by conditioning
and so many other factors. Some of them are untraceable, actually. If we can accept that our world
does not have to make sense... Sometimes, there are some things
that will make sense.

Other times, they don't make any sense. If we are okay with this,
and we don't require or demand that the world is a certain way 
so that we can be a certain way... Because that leaves a very strong sense of 
suppression and frustration

which quickly turns into judgment, which then flows into aggressiveness. We don't have to look very far to see the outcome of when we are not sitting right inside our Self. What is this not sitting right? It means that too much attention
is given to our personal sense of self,

the inhibited self, the fictional self, and believing that it's thoughts are true,
it's feelings are true. And when you are in this state,
it is very difficult to deny that your feelings are true.
They feel very real. They feel like blood flowing through your veins

and they are in the lungs. It feels so intimate;
even one, you may say. But upon deeper reflection and 
when bringing your attention back to the starting place of attention, and then behind the starting place of attention; by this I mean where even the movement 
of attention is also perceived.

When that is really clear
and acknowledged to itself, then you are in a boundless, 
an unbound space of Being. And this anybody can do, you see. The beautiful thing that is pointed to
through non-dual pointing,

Is this the tree that bears immediate fruits? Because what I am pointing to is not a creative outcome. It is not that you must create something and then you get there. Some people are better at creativity, they are more artistic than others; not like this, not creative.

It is simply a recognition that takes place to what is ever present in everyone. So, it is there. Then the question may be asked, 'If it is there, why is it so rarely perceived?' I can only answer that by saying that

it is not perceived, partly because the consciousness that we are might be presently invested in its self-portrait as a person. When it is invested in its self-portrait as a person, it's dedicated to that image.

The person is a vulnerable state, an insecure state. And so, the consciousness is converted away from its universality and is condensed into this very intense psychological entity. And so, this is the beginning of suffering. And the way out of suffering, I cannot say what triggers that.

I will have to use the word Grace here. Grace is very much at the heart and center of our life. But we don't recognize her, you see. I heard someone say it is like 'Missing the elephant in the room.' It is here but you cannot see it.

All your life, your breath, your ability to think and feel, is all the flow of Grace, the vital force, the Love and Presence of God, or Truth. These are all the same. I do not have a distinction between God and the Self.

and the Truth, whatever. Largely, these are terms
that are over-exaggerated or seen with a fragmenting mind, so they seem like they are distinct things. But there are no 'things', actually. At the highest state of Consciousness,
there are no 'things'.

There is just what Is, and It is there before things.
It is not a thing. How would we know that?
How would we know this? You do not need to go any step away
from right where you are. You have to learn to look inwardly.

The person looks outwardly because 
it perceives itself to be a form. But the Self...
Somehow as you are coming into a deeper understanding, 
your attention is more in-turned, and you can observe
your emotions, feelings, and so on

until you find that even your in-turned attention is external to a deeper seeing, you can say. When you come to this deeper seeing, then all I am trying to convey right now will be automatically and spontaneously
revealed in your Self. It may take some time,

but it comes without blood, sweat, and tears. It is revealed just like the flower emits
a certain fragrance; then out of the Self emits the fragrance
of Peace and Wisdom and Love. At the higher state of consciousness
there are no "things"

there is just "what is"
and it is there before things.

불행은 외부 환경이 아닌 내부 요인에서 비롯되는 경우가 많습니다.

자아는 쉽게 불안해하고 방어적으로 반응합니다.

신조차도 모든 사람에게 사랑을 받지 못하기 때문에 보편적인 사랑을 기대하는 것은 비현실적입니다.

삶은 본질적으로 상반된 힘을 수반하며 기쁨과 슬픔이 공존합니다.

선과 악은 주관적인 인식이지 본질적인 특성이 아닙니다.

인생이 항상 이해가 되지 않는다는 사실을 받아들이면 좌절감이 줄어듭니다.

특정 세계관을 강요하는 것은 억압과 공격으로 이어집니다.

개인적인 자아에 지나치게 집중하면 고통으로 이어집니다.

생각과 감정을 진실이라고 믿으면 고통이 생깁니다.

개인적 자아를 넘어선 관심의 전환은 무한한 존재를 드러냅니다.

이것은 창의적인 과정이 아니라 현재 존재하는 것을 인식하는 것입니다.

존재의 상태는 이미 존재하지만 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많습니다.

개인적 자아에 의식이 집중되어 있기 때문에 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많습니다.

개인 자아는 취약하고 불안정한 상태입니다.

은혜는 삶의 중심이지만 종종 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많습니다.

은혜는 생명력, 신 또는 진리의 사랑과 임재입니다.

신, 자아, 진리 사이에는 구분이 없습니다.

가장 높은 의식 상태에서는 어떤 것도 존재하지 않고 오직 '있는 것'만 존재합니다.

외면이 아닌 내면을 들여다보면 자아가 드러납니다.

더 깊이 들여다볼 수 있을 때까지 감정과 느낌을 관찰하세요.

이렇게 깊이 들여다보면 평화, 지혜, 사랑이 자연스럽게 드러납니다.
