If the soul makes a habit out of hunting for awareness (as well as engaging in the seemingly masochistic process of cutting away ignorance), then even though pain is inevitable, I believe that that soul can spare itself the suffering that comes with this fleeting life.
I agree accept that I beleove the soul is free of pain. Only the body can
Feel pain. If we can detach ourselves from it then we will suffer nothing. If we can detach from our
Body then we can from all relations. Our ego will be banished too.
I say we can…not I have…

We are in the process of doing so, I believe; it is just confusing from the inside of said process!

Do you believe that we can detach ourselves from our soul? That it is free of pain? Do our emotions not come from our soul? The feelings that they give us, whether pain or ecstasy. Is it our body that feels them, or are they branded upon our souls?

I believe pain is inevitable, but suffering is not. Without going too deep into semantics, I would say another way of phrasing it is that we go through unpleasantness by default, but if we maintain a deeper perspective, it need only be unpleasantness at a surface level, and our consciousness can merge with a truth that knows that all pain is transient.
