pain is for learning...


Suffering is the mental, emotional, and physical contraction around pain, the history, justification, blame, sentimentalizing, and dramatization of the pain.

In the willingness to simply and directly experience any kind of pain, just for an instant, you will discover that the essence of pain is intelligence, clarity, joy, peace - the same essence as bliss!

The truth of yourself is revealed even in the midst of pain, and pain is revealed to be another vehicle for truth.

In following the story of the pain, this vehicle is overlooked, and the potential gift of pain is wasted.
