Suffering (ταλαιπωρία)
Lorient Montaner-From my text on the Logos (The Word)
It is an undesirable thing in its essence, but it is experienced at every level of humanity. It is called suffering. It has many names and many truths, but it is a part of our human nature. It is more than a condition or state of pain. It effects our mental faculties, our physicality and emotions. It even reaches the innermost depth of the soul. It is like an eclipse that covers us in its lingering shade of darkness. When we suffer, we are confronting that which burdens, not only our body and mind, but our soul as well. Life is about suffering. The serenity that we seek or the end that we desire to suffering can only be ascertained, through the affirmation of self-acceptance and self-awareness. It is accepting our imperfections and being aware of our soul. This is the path to ridding ourselves of internal suffering.
Amidst the adversity, there is a glimpse of hope. Our suffering should not define us in life, because we are much more than suffering. We should eliminate the negative energy within us, knowing that we have the power to create positive energy from ourselves. We are a part of cosmic energy and emanations that shape our consciousness. They also strengthen our body. We have the rhoi that is the natural flow inside of us. It is present in the healing process. Our suffering is no greater than the suffering of others in the world. It does not mean that one type of suffering is the most unbearable. It merely acknowledges that accepting our mortal fate is the beginning to accepting the truth about life. We could walk alone down this path of suffering, or we could embrace the thought that we are united with our will. It is like being in the eye of a storm and having to withstand the brunt of its surge.
Meditation is a mechanism to the mind, as it is to the body and soul. It helps us purify them. Why we suffer is the question that is asked by countless people? Is it a punishment imposed upon us or is it caused by our own actions? It is neither of them. It is something that we are destined to endure from our birth. Suffering is not just limited to the notion of its cause or reason for its manifestation. It encompasses much more. It drains us, weakens us, depresses us. It gives more than we could bear at times. Its shadow remains for as long as we permit it to be there behind us. The philosophy of Meleticism teaches us the practice of the empowerment of the mind, body and soul. Discovering the essence of happiness helps us understand the meaning of suffering. It is a reality that is our own.
The Enas is not a god that rids us of our suffering with prayer, supplication or miracles. It gives us the means to overcome suffering and to accept it when necessary. It gives us something much more in depth, and that is power in ourselves to break the oppressive manacles of suffering. It is easier to seek a god than it is to find oneself. The Enas is the path to liberation, but without our will, it is a path that can only be conceived than reached. Our suffering is not meant to destroy our will or take control of us. It is we who allow it to perform that task. There are those individuals that are doomed to suffer all their lives, but what must be understood is that suffering should not reduce one to the state of no return. That is to say, be all that defines who a person is, when that person is much more than the perception of suffering. The power in one is the power of the One, the Enas.
