Zen and the Art of
Pleasurable
When our
mind is in a place called pleasurable, life is pleasant. We all know this to be
true. Pleasurable is a place in our mind’s eye when and where we don’t see
ourselves longing for much. Those things
that we are longing for are well within our reach.
Most often
we don’t notice our greediness ... our greed for things like self awareness and
happiness, enlightenment or higher states of consciousness, or for that matter,
recovery ... but it is greed none the less. It is our bondage and slavery to
the Need for Greed that takes us into
our states of pain. It is our insatiable
desire to have things other than how they are.
It is a
given in this business that Hellish
Experiences are often the most productive in our self development. Why? ... Well if you are daring enough
just to sit there in a hellish situation and do nothing to escape it. Then relax
into the moment, into the feelings. Just be there. It is then that you might
notice the forces that pull you away from being Fully Present in the Here
and Now.
Hell is
actually the resistance we muster to protect us from a situation We Think will destroy us. It is the
deeper nature of our suffering.
If we can accept hell for what it is, it stops being hell.
“Hell Is Non
Acceptance”
Everything Is
Exactly the Way It Is Supposed To Be
Sometimes That Is
Hard to See
“And Acceptance Is the Key To My Serenity[1]”
