Suffering is useful as a catalyst for spiritual development. However there is something sneaky going along with the suffering which is numbness. And numbness is very dangerous and makes the body-mind deteriorate. What Eckhart Tolle calls the pain body activates again and again. Why? My idea is that the pain body is a subconscious attempt to prevent too much numbness.
Tensions in the body-mind become numbed out, and to prevent too much numbness, fits of anger can release some of the tension. The problem is that the tensions and the numbness start building up again leading to new pain body attacks in the form of anger and depression etc.
The pain body is a typical beast stream entity because it produces spiritual entropy. What the solar stream can, and will, do, in my estimation is to remove the numbness along with dissolving excessive tensions. That's a new insight for me, for it means that paying conscious attention to the numbness instead of the pain/pleasure can bring about a deeper healing.
