Day 353 of 1000: Experiencing Suffering and Freedom from Suffering

Thoughts from dharma teacher Ines Freedman on being somebody and nobody. Meeting the sadness and joy of everyday life without a defended ego.

Ideas from three dharma talks about selfing and unselfing from Ines Freedman and Gil Fronsdal. The freedom unselfing brings.

Nietzschean ideas of affirmation instead of nihilism. Walking to win thoughts. Choosing not to do things.

Applying Frank’s ideas from The Wounded Storyteller to my new visual disability. The quest narrative and suffering as life itself.

The idea of mine creates suffering in our lives. What’s the alternative?
