Key Lesson Part 1
Until the peace and pleasure found within us is equal to -- or greater than any consolation found outside of ourselves -- then our power to be patient, loving, and profitable in every moment is, at best, conditional; nothing better serves to sustain anger, frustration, and fear than being identified with a level of self whose life is founded, at best, upon the sands of passing circumstances.
Part 2
No condition, in and of itself, is ever the cause of psychological stress, fear, or regret; suffering of this kind is inherent in an unseen, unconscious level of 'self' that resists changing conditions because it is incapable of changing with them.
