Wow, i was looking for someone to post something like that for a while now.
I had a misconception of enlightenment being that I'd feel a deep peace and that there would be no "unappealing" emotions ever again. But what I feel now is still a wonderful thing because I feel an underlying peace beneath an emotion at all times, and I let the negative emotion unleash itself inside me, which feels way better and easier than resistance!
Better yet, knowing my self beneath the emotion allows me to realize that whatever I'm feeling is not who I am. There's no need to try and solve anything or get rid of my current state, because it is always impermanent. There was never a need to feel hopeless, it was an illusion all along.
Woooooaaaahhhhhhhh.
I am definitely saving this thread forever. It's been life changing.
