More on Pleasure
“Illusion is the first of all pleasures.”
“But are there many honest people who will admit that it is pleasing to give pain?”
“Whenever there is negativity in you, if you can be aware in that moment that there is something in you that takes pleasure in it or believes it has a useful purpose, you are becoming aware of the ego directly. The moment this happens your identity has shifted from ego to awareness. This means the ego is shrinking and awareness is growing.”
More on Pain
“One good thing about music, when it hits-you feel no pain. ... My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die. ... Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen. ... My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.”
“Nobody is worth crying for, and those that are worth it will not make you cry.”
“Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you.”
