What is the Real Purpose of Suffering?

YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU THE MAGIC BULLET TO GET YOU OUT OF THE HELL YOU ARE IN?

HERE IT IS:

The real purpose of suffering is to break your heart so fucking wide open that you finally let go of every single thing you ever believed and every last piece of your ego, to the point that you fall to your knees and beg God, the Universe or whatever you call Source, to help you. You literally open up your arms and say, “I am willing.”

Because it is at that point, and that point only, that you have any chance at enlightenment, self-transcendence, to understand the real reason you exist at all.

You see, you were meant to be way, way, way more brilliant and beautiful than you ever let yourself be. You were meant to know love, really, really know it. And believe it so profoundly in your heart that it can never be taken away from you.

I know this sounds incredibly harsh. But if you are suffering, you need an answer. And there it is.

There is, of course, an easier, more gentle path. You muster every ounce of yourself that you can and seek Higher Truth every single day. Rain or shine.

I suggest you take that path, but if you are like me, you may chose to go through hell before you get to heaven.
