Practice existential masochism. Unearth the mystery from the misery. Existential masochism is the pleasurable experience of transforming pain into strength, demons into diamonds, and wounds into wisdom. It’s consciously seeking the elusive Phoenix Egg in the ashes. It’s pulling our rebirth out of our death.

Make use of your suffering by using it as building blocks for a healthier future. Transform suffering into synergy. Integrate it. Use it to fuel the fire of your passion. Use it as fuel for the vehicle of your life path. Take all the darkness, all the demons, all the setbacks and initiate them into ambassadors that serve your soul rather than act against it.

When the obstacle is the path, nothing can stop you. Because even that which seeks to stop you is merely subsumed by the path. After which, a delicious transcendence manifests: a humor of the most high.
