hi folks!

 

i reread this section from , A Thousand Names for Joy, this afternoon and

thought i would offer it up for edification, feedback, what have you...  i would

imagine that BK would include anything else (besided sadness) that leads you

away from peace:

 

" sadness is always a sign that you are believing a stressful thought that is not

true for you.it´s a constriction, and it feels bad.  conventional wisdom says

differently, but the truth is that sadness isn´t rational, it isn´t a natural

response, and it can´t ever help you.  it just indicates the loss of reality,

the loss of the awareness of love.  sadness is the war with what is.  it is a

tantrum.  you can experience it only when you are arguing with god.  when the

mind is clear there isn´t any sadness.  there can´t be. "

 

happy sunday evening to all!

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It

will not lead you astray.
