Subject: Re: [K-list] Re: Hypnagogic Entities

My own experiences show me that pain exist when there is cause.
Suffering exist only because of attachment, not to cause, but to pain.
For me, pain is a good guide.
Suffering exist between pain and you. It is some form of connection and
identification
between you and the pain in the time.
A was have a lot of trouble with suffering, but now, I give to her a quit :)

p.s. This is not reply to your post Lo... Just to say what is my experience.
