quotes

In a state of knowing, in a state of repentance, you have the opportunity to suffer the consequences of past ignorance and evil in a conscious manner, thereby cleansing through little else than the fires of hell on earth the resulting impurities of past errors.

The connection between ’want’ and ’pain’. People talk about it: where did humanity take a ’wrong turn’? Not just individuals, humanity. Humanity made, and continues to make, a wrong turn! It has to do with wanting what you don’t have! That’s how we continually get thrown out of the ’Garden of Eden’. When you want something you don’t have, you are in pain. Call it pain, frustration, irritation, anger, resentment - a whole lot of subtle colors to it. ’Not getting what you want’ - negativity, all of it! It’s all the pain of not getting what you want. Why do you want? It doesn’t matter what it is that you want - you want because you’re unhappy, you’re ’unfulfilled’!

Tsahi : because you’re in pain, already.

Alan : yes, that’s right, yes, oh very good! It starts with pain. Because if you’re not in pain you don’t want anything, you’re satisfied. If you’re satisfied you don’t ’want’. It starts in displeasure. It goes looking for things that are ’missing’, or things that are there but ’shouldn’t be there’. It’s all mechanical.

It’s all running from displeasure, and displeasure is pain.

Let's face it - we're always looking for the opportunity to get high! A drink, a smoke, a meal, some sex - always looking to get high, that is some relief from the PAIN - and that so often begins to look normal, look inevitable.

So the real question has to be 'How to get out and stay out.'

'Heaven' is always potentially available, Now. People think Heaven is only after, in the 'World to Come' . But what is 'to come' can come now. It's a mistake to wait until the body drops - big mistake.
If you can feel the pain to the end, actually have gone through it, then you're in another place. That place called 'Heaven'. You cross the line of the 'false', the temporary. Explanations are within illusion. Words are too thin, too small, too linear. You can't capture REALITY in words. If you could the whole world would have been enlightened thousands of years ago. It's been as if explained, without end. Behind the pain, beyond the 'false', is the Great Beyond - the World to Come.
