So we have at least a couple of approaches, *if* we are getting tired of the same old repetitive soap-opera (and if we are not, or don't see it that way, then we may of course simply disregard all of this) -- One, by noticing that the soap-opera is indeed simply a soap-opera, that is, a dramatic mental-emotional "script" or story -- and Byron Katie's work beautifully "deconstructs" suffering from this angle; And/or Two, by using breath and innocent attention to notice that the bodily sensations or feelings we have been labelling "suffering" or "ignorance" are indeed on closer look simply love and bliss, reintegrating these "exiled" or "rejected" portions of ourselves into our wholeness. Yet another way, if we are feeling like or identifying with the small- self sufferer, is to remember or affirm our loving relationship to our large-Self divinity, and to surrender into Him and/or Her. This way and the second way are complementary -- we may either find the small-self sufferer "inside" us, as a pinpoint of discomfort in the body, and direct loving attention to this "child-self" of ours, and/or we may find the large-self Lover "outside" or "around" us, as larger than we are, and relax into Him or Her or Us. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
