You are stressed out, you are right in your beliefs goals but the life around you is so difficult. What can you do? Is there a simple way, no doctors, no medication, no counselors or any unsolicited advise?

Yes there is , not too far as close as your breath. Don't look for answers outside of you by thoughts, memories and the attitude of I am right and you/world are/is against me etc.. The answer is your body, what is in it are aware of the body? A uncontaminated observation of the body sensations? Am I the body? If so, I have all these problems. When I am extremely happy I am not even aware of my body. So is it possible to explore by myself?

How can I perceive in a sensory fashion that I am not the body?

We all experience moments of happiness which are accompanied by a perception of expansion and relaxation.

Before this body perception, we were in a state of timelessness, an unadulterated, causeless joy, of which the physical sensation was simply the ultimate consequence. This joy perceives itself.

At that moment, we were not a limited body in space, not a person. We knew ourselves in
the immediacy of the moment.

We all know this felicity without cause. When we explore deeply what we call our body, we discover
that its very substance is this joy.

We no longer have the need nor the taste nor even the possibility of finding happiness in external objects.

How is this deep exploration accomplished? Don’t reject the body sensations and emotions that present
themselves to you.
Let them blossom fully in your awareness without any goal or any interference from the will. Progressively, the potential energy imprisoned in muscular tensions liberates itself; the
dynamism of the psychosomatic structure exhausts itself; and the return to fundamental stability takes place.

This purification of body sensation is a great art. It requires patience, determination, and courage. It finds its expression at the level of sensation through a gradual expansion of the body into the surrounding space, and a simultaneous penetration of the somatic structure by that space. That
space is not experienced as a simple absence of objects.

When the attention frees itself from perceptions that hold it in thrall, it discovers itself as that self-luminous space which is the true substance of the body.

At this moment, the duality between body and space is abolished. The body is expanded to the size of the universe and contains all things tangible and intangible in its heart. Nothing is external to it. We all have this body of joy, this awakened body, this body of universal welcoming. We are all complete, with no missing parts. Just explore your kingdom and take possession of it knowingly. Do not live any longer in that wretched shack of a limited body.
