You need not suffer more. Take the amount of suffering you have endured and know that an equal and opposite Joy is yours for the taking. Can you imagine a Joy that intense? This is the gift your suffering can bring you, and yet, no suffering is necessary at all to know Truth. This is the point of the opposites: to bring you back to your center … to go out and explore, but to always find your way Home. You may wander off for a while, but Home—the center of Being—is within each moment, each experience. When you feel homesick and have suffered enough, become centered with the breath and look for a stirring of familiarity in the blessed silence. This is the starting point and the end point—the center around which all experience revolves … the Alpha and the Omega … world without end.
You are so very loved.
Oh, thank you. Just at the right time.
Beautiful image. I don’t think I get a deep understanding of that statement yet. Perhaps I’ll re-read it again.
I re-read it again a couple of times. Perhaps it’s saying not to get carried away and breath. Just focus on the
breath. Then we can sense all is good.
If you (like me) have family or friends, or see strangers struggling with addictions, or like me, have “lifers” that make it a “lifestyle”, just think of all the addictions you have… because we ALL have many… …and treat each other (and yourself) with love as best you can. That is the best hope for us all.
