Infinite reality - How do we stay on the blissful side of reality?

Freedom is what you want, that is true bliss, better than the best sensation you can imagine

Chasing good sensations or a good self image, that is only misery

1st Stage is that of discovery and the bombardment of EGO's images and concepts about reality.

2nd Stage is getting used to the reality as IT is.

3rd Stage is growing to infinity, and growing involves each side of the coin so to speak. 

Accepting everything thrown at you, you discover the middle way of things.

@Kevin Dunlop , part of it is giving up this idea of pleasant and unpleasant.

 

As the Hsin Hsin Ming says (one of my favorite little books):

Like and dislike

is the disease of the mind.

When the deep meaning (of the Way) is not understood

the intrinsic peace of mind is disturbed.

 

Reality is bliss...there is no side that is blissful and a side that is not.  When this is realized, this is "how do we stay on the blissful side of reality."
