Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.

I had been anxious and depressed for years and suddenly I was deeply at peace.

The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.

Peace is your priority, not saving the world. That follows that.

Guilt, regret, resentment, sadness & all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past & not enough presence.

The evolutionary impulse is towards disidentification from thinking and the arising of awareness or presence, but the gravitational pull of the old consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, is still quite heavy. It's been around for thousands of years.

The ultimate truth of who you are is not I am this or I am that, but I Am.
