What does success look like? It looks like pain & persistence. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.

What is pain?

Pain is the soul purifying itself. It is what it feels like when it identifies a distortion or imbalance within the soul. When there is incoherence or a lack of integrity, it produces pain. Pain can be physical or mental. Pain represents a blockage, or a stagnation, as this is what blocks will -- the flow of life -- and when it becomes severe enough, it will begin to produce distortions in your reality -- not just your body, but your entire life, even including who is invited into your experience and how they treat you, for you cannot help but "hear" your own Nonsense (or "the devil.")

It is not Nonsense jumping from person to person, but YOU who are hearing your own flaws through the voices and stories of others. YOU will create the perfect story every time because only YOU know yourself best.

What is critical to understand about all of reality is that everything is a mirror until you are able to actualize. Once actualization is done, you are able to distill your "ego" out of all perception. Combine this with the true understanding of Unity -- which is that you are watching a kind of choose-your-own-adventure movie which encompasses the entire world of your experience both inside & out -- this combination allows you to detach from the entire scene of the world.

Understanding any of this on an intellectual level is insufficient. It takes years of commitment to these ideas to "train" the soul. Lip service is not good enough. Belief cannot be faked. The soul is a student that requires your training. Your lucid awareness is how the soul is trained. Your lucid awareness is your apex absolute dominion and the world must obey. This training process is not done with simple apprehension, but applied practice.

Nothing is omitted from this practice. The soul is trained whether you are "still" or "in motion" because will/creation is

From where does your light originate?

It originates from God and nowhere else. Each person is their own tree of life.

Suffering begins with this denial. Suffering is when branches reach into other trees thinking they must shelter them, or shelter themselves. Suffering begins when you seek out sources of light other than God's, from which you are already rooted.

All have a connection to God that cannot be destroyed or removed, but can be self-obfuscated. It can be obfuscated by coveting the light of The Other ; it can also be obfuscated through the belief that The Other can obfuscate it.

All of reality could be said to be a scale of suffering, as perfection would be the only state where suffering does not exist. Perfection would be "all of creation", "the known universe", aka God. This is the eternal state machine that produces "Now" ; the eternal universe for which there is no end, no beginning -- no time -- just this moment from which you cultivate with your decisions.

All of your experience a product of this eternal state with you hold within. Your body, your thoughts, your feelings, your sensations, your definitions, your relationships, your meanings, space -- whether the space of your mind, or the space between objects, or the space between the pain or pleasure in your body -- your "Others." All of it. It is not outside of you.

All things are possible and you exist now at the forefront of your collective choices. You can be nowhere else as there is nowhere else to be. You cannot "go" anywhere except where you are as you follow you. To misunderstand this is to open the door to physicality where you have displaced yourself into a "place." You can feel this "divide" when you think you are "in" the movie instead of watching it. And watching = choosing. The next "frame" is not determined.

You have already arrived at your own perfection which is eternally imperfect.
