Such is life living itself here - through this organism.
What is wrong with this? Nothing!
"You will find in pain a joy which pleasure cannot yield, for the simple reason that acceptance of pain takes you much deeper than pleasure does."
That is perfectly congruent with my direct experience of this being-lived-ed-ness. Thanks JB. Well done!

Charlie, I'm sorry to hear you are in pain.
You know, it's really okay to drop the Advaita-speak and just admit that things aren't always okay. No need to keep repeating that Tony Parsons garbage "Nothing is happening", and so on. It may be true on an absolute level, but not a human level. Sometimes I feel that you don't truly understand the paradox of this.
I know you like to give the impression that you are always okay. But come on, just admit that you are human, and things aren't always okay. I loved the video you made at Christmas, where you admitted how much you were suffering. Why did you take that video down? Are you trying to keep up that image of "Charlie the non-suffering guru"? You are so much more loveable when you are just honest and real, and show your pain to us and stop trying to hide it behind Advaita-speak.
Tell us that you are in pain, and sometimes you really lose your clarity. That would be okay. It's okay to feel frustrated, Charlie. It's okay to feel like shit. It's okay to curse and swear at life. It doesn't always have to be 'okay'. Isn't that just a spiritual concept? And you don't need to then come back and tell us that everything is perfect. This 'everything is perfect' nonsense is just ANOTHER concept. So many concepts!
Of course, even if it's not always okay, it's okay.
