No. You don’t need to learn anything new.
You need to forget.
Forget and understand that your wisdom comes from your healed wounds. If you have relived, mourned, smiled at, screamed out your past from yourself, then you have not merely hidden it but have also let it go.
Then you are no longer looking for actors to relive your past with, who evoke familiar emotions in you that you can move in comfortably even if they bring suffering. Then you are no longer seeking the emotions that support your belief.
What would you say if I told you that in your present state you have no idea what love and happiness are?
What would you say if I told you what most of us saw as love in our childhood was people being attached to each other based on what they have learned before – but this has nothing to do with happiness?
What would you say if I told you that all your emotions end with time because they follow your learned patterns – but this has nothing to do with you, it only got attached to you?
What would you say if I told you this can be done through an entire lifetime but something will always feel tight in there? A lack that nothing can fill.
What would you say if I told you to stop running and learning more and more and instead search, forget and be patient, nab anything that is learned, observe it and stay away from it?
What would you say if I told you to forget everything?
Then you would be able to accept what is.
What really is. What is real. This will be your peace. This will be your happiness.

So will you finally surrender? Or are you still suffering?
I've been thinking. Suffering is a product of my brain, my thoughts…
