It is our ego's legislating for itself (which is its natural state so we can only recognize that, not change that) that causes us pain. It is our attempts to avoid pain that brings the unintended consequence...of pain.
It is our nonresistance to our idea/fear of pain that leads us out of ourselves into God.
Primarily, the pain we are trying to avoid is psychic pain. Psychic pain is entirely personal, based in fear, and, if our choice is freedom from the bondage of self, there is no way around it...we must go through it.
We walk through it, unresisting (sometimes known as "beaten"), we get to the other side...lo, it's a miracle, life is good. Sometimes, life is good only because we got to the other side, but the overwhelming majority of the time, life is good because we have received a gift beyond our ability to plan for...we never knew it existed. It is understanding beyond our reasoning mind.
This is the pearl beyond price...this is God consciousness. The open field of nonresistance, acceptance, I'm not right/you're not wrong and it makes no never mind anyway since we're both winners...and this place is only available to us right here and right now.
Thank You.
