You may possess the power and force of a world ruler, but unless you gain mastery over your mind, when the time of death arrives, you still haven’t attained the power of freedom.

As we have already seen, reversing the attitude of not wanting to suffer is the whole basis for transforming suffering into our spiritual path. This is because we simply won’t be able to turn suffering into the path as long as anxiety and irritation continue to eat away at our confidence and disturb our mind.

The more we arrive at actually transforming suffering into the path, the more we will enhance and reinforce all our previous practice. This is because our courage and good humour will grow all the more, once we can see from our own experience how suffering causes our spiritual practice and qualities to blossom.

It is said that by training gradually with smaller sufferings, ‘step by step, in easy stages’, then in the end we’ll be able to handle big suffering and difficulties too. We must go about it like this, because it is extremely difficult to have an experience of something which is beyond our level or capacity.

Comment by Rosmarie Heusser on November 16, 2024 at 7:50pm: Self Care

What is the most endearing gesture you can gift to yourself? What truly gets the feelings of love flowing? For some it will be two hands across the heart. For others, it will be one hand placed gently atop the other. Perhaps a hand to the cheek or the shoulder. Use such a gesture the next time less positive emotions threaten to knock you off balance. You see, you may not be able to count on love from the outside, but it is always right Here for the giving. And as you know: what you give out, you get back.

You are so very loved.

Comment by Eva Libre on June 2, 2024 at 8:01am: "I'm not saying it's a bad thing to take your individual life seriously. But you could also see your problems and challenges as manifestations of nature, like patterns in waves, or waves in the ocean, or shells upon the beach. Have you really looked at a seashell? There's not an aesthetic fault in it anywhere—it's absolutely perfect. Now, do you think that shells look at each other and critique each other's appearance? 'Well, your markings are a little crooked and not very well spaced.' Of course not, but that's what we do. Every one of us is marvelous and complicated and interesting and gorgeous just as we are. Really take a look into another person's eyes. They are jewelry beyond compare—just beautiful!"

Comment by Eva Libre on May 21, 2024 at 6:59pm: We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved.
They come together and they fall apart.
Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that.
The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy ..
