No one grows up without conditioning. The surprise is that there’s just as much joy in being with conditioning as in being with a transcendent experience or profound realization.
The flow of conditioning is not a mistake. Part of this conditioning is the feeling that something is wrong with an experience and it needs fixing.
Our suffering doesn’t come from any experience but from our resistance to the experience. Likewise, our joy doesn’t come from any experience; it comes from our deeper nature. It is an innate quality of our Being.
It’s very simple: Our suffering is a matter of how much of our attention is flowing towards what’s not actually present, such as hopes, dreams, desires, fears, doubts, worries, ideals, and fantasies.
