The nature of awareness is infinite. Knowing nothing other than itself, it is love. To appear as individuals, this unlimited presence of awareness contracts, and the price it pays is the loss of peace and happiness. At the heart of the separate self, there is a wound, which we avoid through objective experience, but it comes back again until we realise nothing in experience can dissolve this knot of sorrow. We turn to spiritual teachings and practices, which alleviate this core dissatisfaction for a while, so we get attached. Engaging in spiritual practice as a means of preventing ourselves from having to fully face and feel this core tension in the heart, we find there is nowhere left to turn. Not many can fully face and feel this core wound in the heart. It can never be fulfilled, only dissolved. Turn towards and embrace the wound in the heart with clarity, courage and love.
