The juice

[Guest guest]

I identify feeling such as the feeling of

the " Oouucchhh!! " which results immediately

from hitting a stone as physical pain.

Whereas, I call things like depression,

stress, worry, anxiety, victimhood as

suffering.

 

I also identify long lasting fear,

anger, hate, jealousy, greed and long

term discontentment as suffering.

 

Once I wake up and as long as I stay

awake and I am not in a deep meditative

state, I have always noticed some kind

of " juice " flowing in my body. I

identify that " juice " as hormone.

 

 

Incidentally, this is also the same

thing that I identify as 'ego'. This is

what gives me a feeling of " me " . This

is what gives me the feeling of

'separation'. This is what gives me the

feeling of " life " .

 

Without this juice flowing, there is

no feeling of separation. Without

this juice flowing; there is no feeling

" me " ; there is no feeling 'doer ship'.

In a way, I feel this is " juice " is what

makes me do whatever I do.

 

 

From reading scientific articles, I

gather that there are certain hormones

that body automatically generates in

the morning and their production falls

down during night, dropping to an extremely

low level when duriing deep dreamless

sleep.

When my outlook is positive, when my

thinking is positive and this juice [ hormone] is

flowing in the body - I call that

feeling 'pleasant'! Depending on the

intensity of the juice within; I

sometimes, call it exhilarating.

 

I feel it as 'energy', as 'drive', as

'motivation', as 'inspiration', as

'creative force'. I feel it

invigorating. I feel charged up,

energized and I feel like running to

meet the life.

 

 

But, when my outlook is negative,

pessimistic, bleak and my thinking dark

- exactly same juice [as far as I can

tell] feels as pain. If it is quite

intense - it feels like excoriating

pain. It feels like a punishment. It

feels like " suffering " and this is the

only " suffering " that I have known.

Dark outlook, dark pessimistic thinking

while this juice is flowing in the body.

 

And, no matter what the thoughts, an

increase in thoughts usually increase

the intensity of this " juice " and vive-

versa.

Most of us already know how just

because of our different " outlook " and

" belief " ; sky diving, bungee jumping,

roller coaster rides look adventurous,

fun and greatly exhilarating in spite

of having many elements of terrors.

 

 

In fact, it is precisely those moments of

terror [and possibly the hormones that

the body generates in their response]

that makes them so deeply rewarding.

 

Just because our " outlook " is

different, just because our mind

believes something 'positive' - the

" juices " that would otherwise feel

disabling and deeply painful; now feel

exhilarating!

'Before you go sky-diving, you think, " That looks like fun, it's so

cool " . So you decide to go up and then you're in the plane at 3,000

feet, standing in the doorway. Now you have something called terror.

You would like to commit suicide.' It gets worse. The moment you

jump, you have no control of the situation, you imagine all the

things that might go wrong, and it generally feels horrible.

 

 

'Then you pull the rip-cord. The moment you do, that second that

the 'chute opens, you feel, " This is so great " . All that terror

turns to excitement. You turn what I call " bad adrenaline "

into " good adrenaline " and it only takes one second. It's all the

same adrenaline, but the difference is that with the bad adrenaline,

the level of control you have is zero.'
