Carrying Your Cross

A poem on conscious suffering

carry your burden your mechanical suffering the robotic conditioning the ego control program

carry your burden but now by being awake to it — conscious suffering — stand as the I that sees I is simply “being awake” without “righteously” blinding to the comfort of mechanical suffering

when I, suffering is conscious, meaningful when ego, suffering is utter wastage Only I bears the uncertainty of not falling back into the known mechanical suffering — our comfort zone.

If there is nobody here at the moment an impression is received, I react automatically, blindly, passively, and I am lost in the reaction.” ― Jeanne De Salzmann, The Reality of Being: The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff
