What I'm saying is that our free human divine play in this world actually

follows (and creates, but let me keep this simple, I have gone into a bit

prematurely before,) without any restrictions the laws of nature. All of

them and freely.

SUCH IS MOKSHA

The 'pooltable / billiard balls' metaphor is a simple example of course as

it is a bit too two dimensional and as far as time goes only one

dimensional. (The flawed human concept of a progressing arrow of time.)

Anyone who has 'difficulty' with those natural laws (and those

'difficulties' are only in the mind) has created or was forced to accept

conceptual and conditional rules and laws...

They are 'laws of human nature' (they are actually 'denatured inhumane

rules') in the erring or aberrated mind of persons (!,) who are trying to

control or work things with or under fear, with or under judgement, with or

under threat.... from which, yes (!), all suffering arises... Suffering has

no properties, it has only characteristics, characteristics of an

unreality... pseudo reality ... called illusion. Giving illusion a reality

aspect is suffering or mental abuse. The mental abuser wants you to

"believe" that it is real..., such a person does not give you a choice, such

a person is continuously trying to convince you that you are not free...

unless (if) you do this or that then you will be free... (Yeah right...)

 

Life is not illusion, reality is not illusion... having a difficulty with

life and reality is the suffering of illusion...

 

This is what the Buddha and all Bodhisattvas convey...

 

The appearance of that pseudo reality is suffering with all its

psychological characteristics.

Physical pains of mutilation, torture, sickness, disease, accidents,

physical abuse is bearable (I am not saying acceptable or that they are to

be condoned, no way!) bearable and acceptable in that sense, as the

recipient over time develops thresholds.

When one talks to survivors (first hand) one can hear those accounts. (I am

one of those) Survivors may not initially develop that endurance, as many

initially may try manipulation with or of their pains as a way out, turning

pain into anguish, but eventually they will 'with acceptance', dissociate

the pains from the duress, the threats, the mental anguish... the

manipulative...
