Yes, I was in a bit of a hurry earlier and didn't express it very well--> going from pure transparent clear light into colors very definitely has a flavor of "suffering" to it. I'll have to watch more carefully to comment more on this. Its strange, that much I can say, because the "suffering" is entirely associated with the colors or flavors of consciousness, and yet unavoidable, relatively speaking (vs entirely unknown Unmanifestly).
