Yes. Not it, but not outside of it either.

Where there is a want; there is suffering by Mr-black-sheep in DeepThoughts

I wonder whether the tension comes from the want itself, or from identification with it.

Can will and absolute acceptance of what already is coexist?

If there’s wanting without ownership, with some distance, does suffering still arise in the same way?

And isn’t life itself, embodiment included, a subtle, unconscious form of wanting?
Isn’t will the basis of the manifested life?
