Stanley July 04, 2021 In my experience, learning from the unwanted moments (which occur to me all the time) requires our awareness of our lower level of consciousness which has created the unwanted moments. Our job is to see this lower level of consciousness as it is but refuse to yielding to its demand. This effort involves our willingness to consciously suffer until we are able to go beyond this level of consciousness. It is hard work.

Deborah July 04, 2021 Yes Stanley, I've been working to just stay in the middle of "unwanted moments". There is so much to see and learn about this nature when I am willing to watch what is passing through me rather than identify with it. I am finding that even in the middle of a pain there can be joy, and for this I am most grateful.
