Why is human suffering unique from all the other species? If peace, bliss and joy is the natural state of things (and it is), then why are human's the exception? Short answer: Language.

We live in a culture dominated by the left brain that prioritizes analysis, control, force, self-righteousness and certainty
This brain region is also in control of the verbal mind which filters our perception

Clean Pain vs. Dirty Pain
When something bad happens to you - That's clean pain
The story we add after (sometimes for life) - That's dirty pain
extra suffering that humans create
And animals can't do that, they can't create dirty pain

Your Anxiety Is Totally Valid
Even before we're conscious of it, this consistent exposure to global trauma activates survival states
It is really really valid and reasonable to be feeling despair and anxiety

Every Species Gets Peace But Us, Why?
Why do all the other species get the peace that passes understanding while we, humans, seem to get shafted
They get abundance, and we get scarcity
What's with that?

You can't get to where you want by condemning where you are.
Emotions are not calls to action but calls to presence.
This counters productivity culture that equates feelings with failure unless you have an action plan.

If you ignore either the joy or the suffering, then you're in a place that's less authentic
I have clients who have learned to feel rage without acting on it
And they've learned to feel joy without apologizing for it

The Natural State Is Bliss
The natural state of things is peace, serenity, and bliss.

Do NOT Ignore the Miracles
We live in a world where amazing miracles are happening and they cannot be ignored.
Just like we cannot ignore the suffering, we also cannot ignore the miracles.
That would be equally disingenuous.

How To Use Thoughts As Guidance
If a thought feels liberating, it is pointing you toward truth or it's truth adjacent
If it causes you suffering, it's pointing away from your truth. In short, it's a lie.

We are at a threshold moment. We cannot avoid the suffering in the world, but we are obligated to not ignore the good either.
The better world never comes if we all focus only on outrage and get burned out. Joy spreads too. Add joy

Outrage and burnout do not create the world we want.
We have to move away from this dualistic paradigm of:
hope or despair
optimism or pessimism
realism or idealism
and embrace something else: creative possibility.

Cognitive research shows our brains are wired to detect danger more than beauty
Recognizing joy takes intentional effort
We have to hardwire in the ability to feel happiness because it gets socialized out of us.

How We Feed The Pain Body
As I got older, I realized that people don't want to watch hunky dory because it's not relatable to the human experience
We're tuned into conflict, and we've gotta make a deliberate choice to tune out of that

Emotions are guides. When fully felt:
Anger leads us to where justice needs to be restored.
Sadness leads us to where we need belonging.
Fear shows us where we don't feel safe.
This guidance fails if we avoid our emotions.

Do we Really Love Serial Killers?
Some of that is personal preference.

Why Do We Crave Conflict?

It is actually how much conflict there is.
