Whatever happens to us originates in the mind.
We are all Gods acting like goddamned fools.
There's nothing bad; there's just making errors on the way back Home.
The facade is the ego. It is motivated by our seeking love. The only reward is frustration, as it is only by loving that one finds love.
The original state for all Beings is Love. Out troubles are due only to our covering over thus natural state.
Some of us are seeking happiness where it is and as a result are becoming happier. And others are seeking it blindly in the world where it is not and are becoming more frustrated.
