Well said.
I found that 'revelations' of the sort can be maintained with meditation and eliminating distractions, but when I lapse on things that bring back the dark, it's easy to forget about all that.
I feel like decent sleep patterns are my only foothold on sanity.
I'm hopeful.
The whole 'no-self' idea really helped me with not directing any of the darkness back inwards (or outwards).
I think that perhaps 'happy' (whatever it might mean) could never be default in the fragmented modern society, but could during quiet more straightforward times.
Perhaps we can't tame the mind, but can trick it into taming itself.
