Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 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! ~lisa Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.
