If the truth be told the experience of bliss is not over rated and is available in doses in varying ways, yet not attainable through seeking and striving for it.
Also and very important to keep in mind is the experience of bliss is best not considered as a goal nor are any altered states for that matter.
States or experiences that are seemingly outside of the norm, whether they be pleasant or otherwise are potential loss leaders.
"Little Shop of Bliss"
So here you are now in the door of the shop of pleasant toys, and you have had that moment of bliss, this bliss was on sale to all who came in the door. Yet you have not developed in any way, and you have not the understanding of what this is, you have taken no time to learn of your choice.
So what do you do in this situation most often; you do everything you can to get your hands on this bliss thingy again and yet nothing seems to work quite the same.
There are many more shops that will offer this bliss you can go there and check them out for you. Here you get the opportunity to be a consumer of yet another snake oil salesman.
There is however the real teaching available in the world, through clearly choosing and asking for it. This teaching is available to all who seek it.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear, the only potential real difference that exists between you and me;
"I have and do daily make the choice to learn, that's it and nothing more."
Yet I like everyone else live in this world; I do not live on a sparkle bright golden rainbow ridden road, nor in some deep dark fire and brimstone ridden culvert.
It is this world, a place of miracle; existence as an experience is a miracle and we as beings are able to more consciously and do unwittingly participate in this miracle!
Remember this is a story and all stories are a lie.
The conditions of existence are alterable to some degree, yet to desire changes from ones sleeping state brings about more sleep. It is a vicious cycle. With the work this subterfuge can be observed from a place of being that is real; observation of the self as it is while seeing what is occurring externally for what it is.
Did it ever occur to you that you had this choice?
Have you ever asked yourself; what am I?
It makes no difference to me for this is a story and all stories are a lie.
