[And the mind - every negative thought gives fuel to the emotion so it adds to the pain body.]

And the egoic entity, a large part of the egoic entity is pain-body. So, that's why the moment you're trapped in the vicious circle of pain-body and mind activity, it is a form - one could say - of addiction to pain...an addiction to emotional pain.

Effortlessness

Enlightenment is the natural, effortless state.   

Effortlessness cannot be achieved by effort.  The person who is trying to achieve enlightenment is actually obscuring the natural, effortless enlightenment that is his true nature in this moment.

The word "person" here refers to that thought-based story in the mind that resists life and believes that it can and must control life and manipulate outcomes.  That story is applying effort in an attempt to achieve a future goal - whether it be the resolution of conflict, happiness, romantic love, a better appearance, material success, or spiritual growth.

Enlightenment is realized only in the absence of that entity who is applying effort towards future.  Effort emanates from the underlying idea that the person is somehow separate from life and other people and that he therefore must resist life and others in order to bring about change.  In seeing that this is just an idea, all the energy behind the effort releases and there is only 'This.'  This is the expressible realization that you are not a person living in time.  You are the present awareness in which that story arises.  That is the end of effort.

31. I am a heroine user attempting to resolve the cause of my addiction. Since starting the Process I have repeated nightmares about similar past life experiences. I am struggling with the fear these nightmares generate. THE PRESENCE PROCESS focuses on healing the child within us, but what about working with our past life traumas? What if the cause of addiction is not in this life?

(Continuation...)

Our allegiance to the illusion of separation-consciousness is the causal point of all the fear manifesting in the universe.  

It is irrelevant as to what form the face of this one fear mutates for any of us, because energetically it is the same fear, one we have carried with us for millions of lifetimes.  

We have carried it since the beginning of time.  

Therefore, the question is: Which lifetime are we going to zero in on and isolate as the cause of our fear?  

Whichever one we choose is the one most appealing because it is the most dramatic.  

In this way we are romanticizing this energetic dysfunction by using the ego and the thinking mind as a means to make this selection.  

The only place this condition can be resolved is here and now, and the way to accomplish this is through entering our emotional body; by allowing ourselves to feel it as it manifests in our life experience right now.

Science has also revealed that our DNA can cause disturbed patterns in a vacuum, producing magnetized wormholes and microscopic black holes (similar to the black holes left by burned-out stars in the universe). These holes act as tunnel connections that can transmit information instantaneously, free of the restrictions of space and time. There are an infinite number of these tunnels in the universe. Our DNA attracts these bits of information and passes them on to our sub

conscious.

We can access this information by promoting communication between our subconscious and our consciousness. Most people have had at least glimpses of experiences of this hyper-communication by spontaneously gaining information beyond general knowledge, an experience we usually refer to as intuition or telepathy.

Absolute Perfection is Here and Now.

Q:  It is all a matter of gunas.  Where tamas and rajas predominate, there must be war.  Where sattva rules, there will be peace.

M:  Put it whichever way you like, it comes to the same.  Society is built on motives.  Put goodwill into the foundations and you will not need specialized social workers.

Q:  The world is getting better.

M:  The world had all the time to get better, yet it did not.  What hope is there for the future?  Of course, there have been and will be periods of harmony and peace, when sattva was in ascendance, but things get destroyed by their own perfection.  A perfect society is necessarily static and therefore, it stagnates and decays.  From the summit all roads lead downwards.  Societies are like people-they are born, they grow to some point of relative perfection and then decay and die.
