Future Suffering Can and Should Be Avoided
We are responsible for our own actions and their results
There is suffering
As individual souls, each streaming from the common Source,
we are responsible for our own actions and their results
This is karma
There is a cause of suffering
Our unconscious, habitual actions create karmic seeds/habits
in our energetic field, which cause us to act in ways that lead
to pain in the future
Our situation now is a result of our past actions
Future pain orginates in our actions and intentions now
There is an end to suffering
When we re-connect with Source our actions become
naturally more harmonious and our future suffering, and
thus that of those around us and in the wider world,
is reduced
By improving our clarity and becoming more aware, we
can avoid previous mistakes
There is a path to the end of suffering
We can re-connect with Source through the consistent and appropriate practice of quietening the mind, without attachment to any outcomes
