Your pleasure is your pain. Real pleasure is not the opposite of pain, it is the absence of it. Think about it. What you re...
How would you like to live from a nature where no matter what happens, no matter what comes at you, as soon as whatever it is lands on you, it's changed into something good? "Oh gosh, wow!

If you can do nothing else in some moment of being a slave to some negative state, then at least work to remember your real wish to serve what is right and true, regardless of the cost to you. This higher intention is your connection to a level of consciousness that can't be dragged down into that darkness through which you now stumble. Although hard to "see" when so blinded by some rage, fe...
