If the ego rejects ego-death than is physical pain actually bliss?

I know it's stupid, but the thought crossed my mind.

The ego lashes out against its destruction. The same things can be said for physical pain, no?

You mean the ego lashes out against physical pain?

Yeah, physical pain is a concept applied to particular sensations of which we are in strong resistence to.

Everything is fundamentally happening out of Love -- it is Love itself -- including physical pain.

Of course, relatively speaking, physical pain is the opposite of bliss.

Pain is an interpretation. Like everything else.

If you are able to interpret everything happening to you as something you do to yourself, i.e. as Divine, then naturally you should be able to be in a state of bliss almost constantly, no matter the cirumstances, including what other people would call "physical pain".
