(Just Because shipping again. The Sun begins its descent. Neptune prepares to retrograde.)

If you were offered a life of causeless, unbroken bliss, pure awareness, and truth realization — almost certainly, you would choose for it.

In the fine print of the offer, you would read about trials and tests to purify your character, to make space for these beautiful things. Fine, sure, no problem.

That is, until you encounter those tests and trials, which could be compared to a SealFit workout times many orders of magnitude. And it is not your body being targeted, it is the very fabric of which you are woven.

The pain of this work breaks down everything that stands in the way of your bliss, awareness, and truth realization. Your personality, egoic tendencies, and ultimately, the “I” thought.

You will want to tap out. You will beg for mercy. You will struggle as if running out of oxygen.

The more you resist, the greater the intensity of the pain.

You learn to let go and let the bricks of your building fall, one by one.

This process is calibrated to your level of tolerance. Breaks and periods of rest will be given.

Yet, have no doubt, if you have chosen for the noblest of noble aspirations, the pressure does not stop until the work is complete.

Would you want it any other way?
