Suffering

Also, there have always existed a few people with the knowledge that most of this suffering is due to man’s alienation from himself. Most of our dissatisfaction comes not from sickness or material problems, but from not being ourselves. Not much can be done about the suffering caused by sickness or ageing. Some people have seen, however, that the emotional suffering is not inevitable in the same way. It is this alienation which leaves us with a sense of emptiness, of deep suffering. In time, physical difficulties, psychosomatic diseases and the like, result. (Diamond Heart Book 1, pg 36)

Personality without Essence is suffering. Personality with attachment to Essence is a disaster. (Diamond Heart Book 2, pg 43)
