@thechrishinton: You’ve been suffering because of one thing hiding in plain sight — the fine print your mind writes every day without you knowing. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. This will change how you see people, pain, and peace forever. #emotionalintelligence #HealingJourney #spiritualawakening #selfawareness #suffering
this is the teaching of Buddhism. suffering stems from the desire for something to be different. transcending suffering requires the cessation of desire, but if you desire to not desire you're right back where you started. transcending desire must be a complete surrender and acceptance of the present moment, not avoiding desire but also not attaching to desires. desires will come and go, but what never changes is your awareness of the desires. this center of awareness is where you will find peace and realize desire has always just been an illusion, a trick your mind uses to avoid things that might hurt your physical body and draw you closer to things that might benefit the body. but these things don't concern you, for you are not these thoughts and feelings and sensations, you are the infinite and unchanging eternal awareness. the god-eye, witnessing this life and the past lives and the future lives, past universes and future universes, but forever remaining a constant fixed point of awareness.

I will never forget you words "pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice" meaning we can't control everything but we can control how we respond to it.

I agree with almost all your opinions, very helpful advice. However, you are grossly glossing over the subject of abuse. Unfortunately, the world is full of people who are COMPLETELY trapped within all kinds of seriously abusive situations. The suffering is real and not a matter of choosing to experience it as hurtful or not. For those that do escape, their experiences of suffering were also not a matter of deciding if it was hurtful or not. NOBODY chooses abuse, and it ALWAYS legitimately hurts and causes damage. Please don't sugar-coat or minimize this fact.

Detaching from suffering… Bruh we would stop evolving.. By detaching and accepting anything because it’s someone else’s preference, doesn’t that allow for anything including people who don’t detach? If everyone detaches and ignores details then people who pay attention to the details can control it. In your own words “the devil is in the details” I would argue you only see the devil when you track and keep accountable historical record of the detail- Peace is not the goal, balance & increased efficiency in evolution is the Goal- Preference “should” not be limitless- Unity allows for diversity while still holding detailed discernment while prioritizing one goal over all else- Humanities evolution and preservation should be our one Unified “Priority”/“Preference”- Again I would love to debate this as We are ALL still learning-

This guy seems to lead with pure intentions and an open heart, and I respect that. I want to ask—genuinely, without judgment—what inspired you to become a life coach? It feels like there must have been a pivotal moment where you had to let go of something heavy and rethink the direction of your life. Maybe during a period of reflection, you realized you wanted to use your experiences to help others who needed guidance or reassurance, to keep them from falling into the same patterns.
Am I off? Because people don’t usually reach this level of awareness without having gone through situations that were once overwhelming—times when they didn’t yet know how to respond calmly, but eventually grew from it.

So if I prefer not to sit in my loneliness and prefer to have more time and attention from my adult children - I make this an attachment- How do you cut the attachment of not wanting loneliness? How do you cut the attachment of wanting more time and attention from your adult children? I can’t control this. How do you let go that???
