"By
deepening the practice of self-observation, we may reach the surprising
conclusion that we feel pleasure through our negative actions in the
world. There is a pleasure connected to the negative situation that
repeats itself in our lives. Our vital energy is invested into this
destructive action. As we deepen even further into this practice of
self-observation, we realize that this may be the only way we know how
to feel pleasure. Oftentimes, the positive manifestation of pleasure is a
threat to the human being. Since we are so identified with this
negativity, we suffer the terror of being annihilated in its absence.
Unconsciously, we believe that letting go of this negativity would mean
death."
- Sri Prem Baba
