A common space for harmonic peacemakers
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.

So true...and yet, we have to be able to look at one another and appreciate that, also.
What a fabulous image, Luna!
And of course, the message is great, as well
Take time to be silent, to meditate, to quiet the internal dialogue. In moments of silence, realize that you are recontacting your source of pure consciousness. Pay attention to your inner life so that you can be guided by your intuition rather than externally imposed interpretations of what is appropriate or not for you.
~ Deepak Chopra
Yes, it may be true for some people, but many of us suspect that this is all a dream, and may even have a very strong notion that it is the case....
