All living things are vulnerable to suffering. That is, vulnerable to what we humans call “suffering.” Not even inanimate things are free from entropy. The eternal processes of construction and destruction go on, changing everything sooner or later.
We humans, however, are capable of understanding the complexity of suffering. We can recognize the difference between a relatively minor wound or a passing illness and prolonged suffering. Some people seem drawn to suffering, some confess that they are attracted to it, and some inflict suffering upon themselves.
Despite the complexity of suffering, or perhaps because of it, there is a nugget of truth within it. As philosopher Diogenes Allen once said, “Suffering is the only condition capable of cracking the human illusion of self-sufficiency.” Suffering is, or can be, the gateway to spiritual growth.
Jonathan’s Circle Live in October will be a conversation not for those trying to be saints, but for any who have experienced or wondered about how woundedness, illness, a streak of real bad luck, grief, depression, sexual abuse or dysfunction, and the like, might be our teachers and guides into deeper awareness.
Join us where it’s safe
• to voice some of your own questions and experiences about suffering on the part of yourself or others
• to hear what others have learned from their experiences of suffering
• to consider reframing what seems awfully negative in your life so that even unwanted imposters like guilt, shame, weakness, and pain can be gateways to growth.
