There were many reasons for a number of years I was hesitant about doing this work. Some of the ways of thinking are reductive simplistic and don’t take into account the art of being a human being. We are complex creatures, which is why the greatest works of Literature and Theater and in paintings and in movies and music are unafraid of diving into the darkest aspects of the human condition and finding the beautiful things. There’s this preponderance of think a positive thought stay in a higher vibration. Just do what God is asking of you which is all wonderful and fine but the negation and the fear of the darkness makes absolutely no sense to me. Dive into those pools. Read literature, look at great works of art and put away all the self-help books for a while because while some of those authors have been through difficult times many of them are not about the art of suffering.
