The Illusory Truth Effect Of Our Own Words + Reflections On Suffering with Eric Ajna

Monday Oct 10, 2022

Our mind is a phenomenal tool when used correctly. Though, our interpretation of what we consider “correct” can vary depending on societal norms, cultural institutions and popular culture. Much of what we are taught about how to use our mind rests in our societies continued efforts in indoctrinating its people to be contributing members to society through means of materialistic intelligence. It’s no surprise then that we develop such a complex yet hard-nosed system of beliefs about how to efficiently operate in society. I mean, it’s quite literally programmed into our hardware at the start of this 3 dimensional video game we’ve all been playing.

At a certain point in our spiritual journey we realize that we came to the door of awareness with a mind hardwired to believe the things it tells itself. When the spirit works so intimately close to an ego at such a young age, we can easily fall into a very innocent trap of mistaking our divinity with the random circumstances that happen in life that bring about feelings of happiness or pain . One symptom of this misunderstanding rests within how we communicate with ourselves and the beliefs we hold as a result of the happiness we encounter or the suffering that we impose on ourselves.

The mind is a phenomenal tool when used for means of survival, though it does have a tendency to grasp at beliefs in an effort to organize a type of image for us to find security in. When we look deep enough, we find that much of what we tell ourselves about life is limited to how we feel about it, and this feeling is largely dependent on external forces not always within our control. When life is going well, we formulate an inward narrative that communicates that we are happy. Yet, when life isn’t going well, we initiate entirely different narratives that communicate worst case scenarios for ourselves. Ironically, these negative impulses are the messages ego tends tends to grasp onto the most, and it is because of this, we tend to lead ourselves down a very arduous path of chaotic emotional turmoil that we usually define as “suffering”.

In this episode I explore this idea we have of suffering, and whether or not it is hardwired into existence as an inevitable fact. Or whether suffering exists as a conceptual belief that we’ve all just accepted as a part of our experience.
