Suffering spares no one either, not even those who may seem to you only blessed by life. No matter how well you fare now, pain is always waiting not far away. You must face it: you cannot be immune to the imperfection of the phenomenal world as long as you are a phenomenon yourself, as long as you are lively human structure.

There is, however, a way out. For if your structure lives within the phenomenal world of physical pain and pleasure, your true self does not. Great spiritual leaders know it, who all invite us to find peace within our inner self.

An amoeba is a structure of greater complexity than anything ever created by humans, yet it does little more than react to stimuli: "smells good here, let's go; tastes bad, better skip it; oops!, got burned, let's move away." Every organism assembled by Eternons, and this includes the human structure, has its primitive "amoeba side." Still, you are not an amoeba, and with the large brain you have, you are expected to do better than merely react to stimuli. Stop letting amoeba-like Eternons rule your existence. Wake up and reach for the strength of your Leading Eternon.

Unpleasant feelings, negative emotions, mental suffering, all that happens at the level of lower body Eternons. Ordinarily, these Eternons keep minding they business. They need no direction when it comes to handle functions like digesting or growing your hair. But when life occasionally perturbs their routine, in turn they perturb your well-being. A bad thought is all it takes. Soon, your brain Eternons will have produced and spread enough adrenaline to affect your entire body.

The way the human structure is built and wired has its inconveniences. Feelings and state of minds are very much at the mercy of predetermined connections between Eternons. This chemical interplay is so pervasive that it has fooled many scientists in believing that it is all there is to life. But, as Eternism explains, life has far more dimensions.

Yogis are able, after years of training, to dominate essential body functions. They can control their heartbeats or modify their temperature at will, proving that higher consciousness can impact lower processes. You have no need to become a yogi, but you should not either remain the puppet of your metabolic Eternons. Take command instead.

Your hierarchic structure allows you to stop letting emotions invade your mind. Unhappiness occurs when your organism lacks certain doses of neurotransmitters. What can provide these doses? Drugs and chemical substances? They tend to bring short relief and to provoke long damage. No, the real providers of lasting well-being is your soul, your Leading Eternon.

People have been herded into concentration camps. They have witnessed the extermination of their spouse and children. They have shoveled corpses for days, expecting to be killed any minute. People have been tortured and beaten with utmost savagery. People have fought against all odds, lost in hostile wilderness. How do you believe these people have survived? It is not because of extraordinary physical aptitude, or thanks to their resilient body Eternons. Quite the contrary; their organism has been the source and seat of their entire suffering. But these people have transcended physicality and drawn upon the strength of their Leading Eternon.

You cannot eliminate adversity, but you can train not to suffer from it. Start by reevaluating yourself in the light of all you have learned about Eternons. Then, take advantage of little problems for practicing. As soon as pain appears, switch your angle. Pass from victim to observer, from structure to Eternon. Soon, every difficulty in your life will turn into a challenging test of self-control and superior awareness.

Detachment is what will help you reach a higher level of self-assurance. A level where you are no longer affected by insignificant positive or negative factors. A level where you are no longer a reacting human automaton.

It may be difficult at first and you must avoid to build around you a shell, like a clam. Going toward your Leading Eternon, your eternal and only important self, is going toward bright light. It is soaring above the somber difficulties of the human condition. You cannot enjoy enlightening peace within a dark shell.
