Pain is a heavenly guide

Man has turned away from God and escaped into a physical body. His perception of his surrounding has become equally physical. This world can never be a hapy world because it has the presenece of pain in it. But pain is only a fence that guards the road to Heaven. It appears as a warning whenever man is straying off the path. Pain says: ``stop here and turn around!'' But instead, man ignores pain by doing more wrong. He uses stimulating practices to dull the awareness of pain so that he may continue doing wrong.

Man's spirit is terribly sick and has been sick before it entered earth. Everyone needs to be healed. Sick people are in career of conquest; they are the leaders in every field of human life. They do not know their fatal condition because they have buried it; only a drive for survival has remained. To be somebody has become man's meaning of life.

Sooner or later people may have a glimpse of their fatality, and depression settles in. The truth becomes so horrifying that, instead of retracing their wrong steps, they choose suicidal practices as the way out. They escape into more activity, more drugs and more excitement until unawareness has overtaken them again.

Every creature on earth lives a painful life. They all have an enemy outside themselves and do battle with it. Survival is lord and every microbe, plant, and animal partakes in it.

If a man is told that he does not have to survive in his world, he answers with hostility. He must do so because his only possessions are his physical senses, and he feels doomed whenever he stops carrying out their deadly commands.

Eternal life comes into vision with a convication that says:

If I am in pain, I must do nothing about it but suffer it through to the very end

The symptom of every disease has to be dissolved into pain.

An emotion cases to be a passion as soon as we form a clear and distinct idea of it.

-- Spinoza

We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.

-- Thoreau
