The thinker is equal to the thinking

The thinker is equal to the thinking, not-two.
But many people think differently about that. Thinking that they are controlled by the thinking or that they control the thinking.
I tell you: you are the controlled. The observer is the observed.
There is no question of a separate self. Which at most causes conflict: inner suffering. Of which society is a reflection.

Is suffering out of time?

Is that why Jesus was stripped of all humanity, as by ACIM and New Age? Only made into a symbol of love. A love that knows no suffering but much theorizing, right?

Even the Buddha taught – as the first truth – that life is suffering.
People who have trouble with that then, for example, resort to medication or euthanasia.

Another way of denial is to claim that life is an illusion, as in Advaita circles. But there is a multitude of addictions among these so-called detached philosophers.

Whatever one claims, practice will catch up, but people are ‘deaf when they hear and blind when they see,’ as Jesus of Nazareth already said.
