When you see your life from the lens of pain,
Your experience of life is not pleasant.
It is as if your heart is trapped
In a small, barbed cage
Where everywhere you turn
Is pain, more pain, more pain.
The truth is, the cage is your mind.
There is no need to stay in the cage.
When we say the cage is your mind,
We do not mean something
Fancy or absolute.
There is no big secret to unlock.
There is no special process.
It is just looking, with your mind,
At the limitation that your mind believes
And discovering this is not so.
For example, your mind/ego/personality
May have a lot of beliefs and opinions about
Various aspects of yourself and your world,
What you consider your life.
These are the cage.
The door is actually open.
