Brooding, resenting, regretting… all are forms of unconscious suffering, and serve to strengthen the false notion that the negative state is a product of the condition, instead of a reflection of one’s consciousness.

To suffer consciously is to act in a whole new way where one chooses to be consciously passive to states that are (actively) blaming or judging; instead of being the instrument of these dark radiations, you bring the light of awareness into and upon them.

This new action of being quietly passive to painful thoughts and feelings is conscious suffering; through it one dies to the nature of the false active and is aligned by true action with a Living Light that changes whatever is brought into its healing wholeness.
