What's the point of maya if it's just suffering
gpt
Suffering is a curse of consciousness/awareness. Well not specifically, but we made it so. 

Like in the wild, a lion will only take what it needs. Wolves will only hunt the sheep they need. They won't just slaughter a whole farm and take sheep captive for later, or Lions won't just intrude on another Prides territory knowingly for no reason.

We seek comfort from our perceived separate from the absolute and we do so through material and outward pleasure. Eventually that doesn't work. 

I have chased pleasure for the past 10 or so years in the form of porn and the ending is the same, you just up the consumption level.

Reality just is, i think our goal is to learn to just be.

We do it to ourselves, we do, and that's why it really hurts

I've spent the past 2 years pondering my orb and my addiction. 

I've read so much that it all seems to be the same thing, just different pieces of the same truth. For this reason i'm a fan of perennialism...need to pick up the Huxley book...

But anyhow, i think i've realized man's troubles...We can't just 'be'. We made all this stuff for the sake of comfort and pleasure, but it ultimately just has us susceptible to suffering.

Its quite easy to find your way into suffering these days. We waste so much time trying to be simulated, blurred out, pleasured, etc. that when its time to move on from this life, we just find ourselves running back to life in the first place!

Imagine being nothing but mind, and in the void of nothing you're so use to the stimulation of life that you run back to it...The good and the bad...The wars, suffering, murder, hunger, pandemic...but the love, beauty, moments of clarity, etc.

Just gotta let go of it all. Enjoy the ride while you're on, but once your off...idk whats after that might just have to sit still in a place where time is gone.

In buddhism, there is a certain being who stays bound here to continue teaching the Dharma; that is the only noble cause i can think of.
