Does Suffering Happen in the Finite Mind?

Does suffering happen in the finite mind? Rupert responds that the finite mind itself is not the source of suffering. It is one thought that identifies with the content of finite mind that is. He uses the analogy of John Smith and King Lear. King Lear suffers, but who is he, and does he exist? There is no person King Lear – it is that illusion that suffers. Once that is realised, suffering ends. Suffering is not really an experience; it is the veiling of happiness.
