Try to find out who is not willing to accept what currently exists. Changes will continue to occur whether we want it or not. The only option we have is to accept the change and let it be, or work towards an outcome that is more conducive for us. I like looking at "burden" as a purpose. I've seen that everything that we face in our life is somehow or another of our own making (either in the material realm or at a higher spiritual plane). So, if we look at the thing that is burdening us as a purpose to fulfill, that may be a worthwhile endeavor.

Find out from where does that feeling of being burdened arise.

“Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond.” ― Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa “That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge.” ― Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

This describes it best to me — There sight travels not, nor speech, nor the mind. We know It not nor can distinguish how one should teach of It: for It is other than the known; It is there above the unknown. It is so we have heard from men of old who declared That to our understanding. (Kena Upanishad 1.3)

When I try to find out, all I get is silence and stillness. All I know is I am. Thanks will give it a listen later tonight.

Are consciousness and energy two separate entities? Yes - in a transactional model. Thoughta arises from that deeper truth. I am therefore I think. But the self-reflexivity is the notion "I am". It is the first...this is called the "aham-sphurana"...I think it is the proto-thought (the root of the mind, so to speak).

Primary or secondary to what? Both There is a kind of knowing that occurs without thought, but the recognition of that knowing requires thought.

I agree with that -- although, thoughts are patterns of consciousness, that appear in consciousness, are illuminated by consciousness, known to consciousness, and dissipate within consciousness. Isn't recognition a thought as well? Can you recognize without a thought? Can you tell me who you are, without thinking?
