The stroke of insight to go along with the ups and downs was simply that spirituality isn't necessarily making things personal rather than broadening/expanding/nonpersonalising. How do I know? Well, whenever you're on one side saying the other is bad you're caught in a good/bad dichotomy, a duality, which is categorically incorrect. Obviously we have to go on to point out a non-duality in duality vs non-duality, sort of break down the form/emptiness of that as well, but still, a worthwhile aspect of living healthfully and happily is not running from but also not running towards pain. I believe I find myself doing the latter, always personalizing and maybe over-indulging in the pain, the hurt, this is not quite acceptance, it is a form of attachment...And so I choose to relate to life more simply, to see hurt and happiness and see reactions, see running towards--embracing (and not letting go) of pain and running away as two sides of the same coin, you're still running. Maybe it's best to know the perfection of the moment, not attempting to overthrow or over-embrace. mmm lovely.
