Instead of being a reactionary slave to the inevitable pain, frustration, stress, and sorrow in your life, which the Buddha called 'dukkha', you can free your mind such that you have a sense of well-being even when dukkha is present, and you create the possibility of finding compete freedom. Why not dance with the constant vicissitudes of life in a manner that is joyful and liberated, rather than feeling like a victim or being flooded with fear and stress?"

Thank you sooo much.... I find that when I am having PAIN such as now...

If I go within I can " Tune Out " the pain... When, I'm out here 'I think.'
If, I were dead right Now, there would be No More pain.... Sooo, I choose
to Feel the Pain, enjoy the pain. The pains I have are called Phan-Tom
pains.... They are NOT real... But, they let me KNOW its going to rain...

Please contact Phillip, and thank him for the words....

And, I Thank you, as the messenger of his words....

I feel peaceful energy within and around you...

I've got to back out in the Sun, heat helps its 108 in Arizona....


Trooly,
