Self Remembering

http://www.selfremembering.org/

“Everyone suffers, with or without a school,” Robert Burton has said. “We are trying to use our suffering, rather than being used by it.”

Year after year, Robert Burton’s students have come to him with their questions, their problems, their protests. Year after year, with unfaltering patience, he has taught that the only true solutions to any perceived “problem” lie in our efforts to self-remember and to transform our suffering. However justified one’s complaints, however unjust the events of one’s life, one has no choice but to embrace them all. 

This wider acceptance is the key to the actual transformation of negative emotions into higher consciousness, which creates the capacity for selfless love and is the true meaning behind every spiritual teaching. What the individual gains through this process may then be radiated outward for the benefit of others. 

“There is a secret,” Robert Burton said once, “that is almost too sacred to tell. The secret is: what one gains, all gain.”"
