Self-Realization and Other Awakenings

pollyanish, glad-sayers who found everything in their
lives and the world OK. Their conscious minds gave
everything a positive bent: Everyone had the perfect
teacher or practice for them. Everyone was getting
out of life exactly what they needed or deserved.
There were no good and bad teachers, it was all
relative. The world and life was unfolding as they
should. All was preordained, no need to think or worry
about anything. Thus, they died to their humanity,
and the reality of living in an imperfect and sometimes
harsh and ugly world.
THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!
When one practices “real” spirituality long enough,
has wrestled with all of his or her demons, felt deeply
and dealt with death, loss of loved ones, deep
jealousy, deep frustration, rage, hatred, as well as
love so deep that one becomes lost in ecstatic bliss,
then one finds that ALL INTENSE EMOTIONS, once they
are no longer feared or resisted, convert into moving
bliss, and when sustained, into ecstasy. At this point
emotions and problems are eagerly sought, and this
acceptance attitude invigorates one’s entire being,
bringing an extraordinary aliveness.
All those negative emotions when faced, accepted,
and even loved, turn into aliveness, love, and ecstasy!
