In the positive part of reality, a person successfully manipulates the world to get what they think they want. In the negative part of reality, a person suffers because what they want eludes them, and they do everything possible to avoid that suffering. The whole reality is, however, based on the one thought that something in them is missing or

We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves the birds and animals and the ants perhaps the same one that gave a radiance to you in your mother’s womb. Is it logical that you would be walking around entirely orphaned now? The truth is that you turned away yourself, and decided to go into the darkness alone. Now, you are tangled up in

Let’s take a person who, as a child, was hurt at a time when they had no ability to defend themselves or exert their power. They were, at one point, a victim of an emotional or physical perpetrator. As a result, they assume the Identity of someone who is powerless and vulnerable to forces outside of themselves: the Identity of a victim. A person,

Wanting to let go of suffering in your problem area is only half of the equation. The other half, and arguably a more important one, is surrendering the part of negotiation where you gain something in the Identity-based world.
