Stuff To Say On A Get Well Card

What happens when you're awake?

see everything clear

by Anthony Mello *
Can you say that in these last days have you felt as a free and happy, no problems or concerns? Have not you felt this way?

Well you are asleep.

What happens when you're awake?

Nothing changes, everything goes well, but you're the one who has changed into reality.
Then you see all clear.

a teacher asked him his disciples East:

"What has provided the lighting?"

He replied:

"First I had depression and now with the same vacuum, but the difference now is that depression does not bother me "

be awake is to accept everything, not law, nor as a sacrifice, not an effort, but by lighting.
embrace all things because they see clear and nothing and nobody can fool you.'s awakening to the light.

there pain and suffering only arises when you resist the pain. If you accept the pain, suffering does not exist. The pain is unbearable, because it has a sense understandable where eddies. It is intolerable to have the body and mind here in the past or the future.

It is unbearable to want to distort the reality, which is set in stone. Now that's unbearable. It is a useless struggle is useless as its result: the suffering. You can not fight for what is not.

should not seek happiness where it is, not take life so is not life, because then we create a suffering that only the result of our blindness and with it, restlessness, sorrow, fear, insecurity ...

None of this exists only in our minds asleep. When you wake up, it's over.

* Anthony de Mello, (1931 - 1987) Jesuit Priest.
