Its seems to me - it's likely that heaven's here right now. if you could take life with its pain and misery, where you fail and you sometimes win, and if you package it into a game, people would pay a fortune to have this game. and i don't know that i'd want it to be resolved so peacefully that the game would be all over.

More From Gene Roddenberry

I don't see [the jungle] so much erotic. i see it more full of obscenity. it's just - nature here is vile and base. i wouldn't see anything erotical here. i would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and growing and just rotting away. of course, there's a lot of misery. but it is the same misery that is all around us. the trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. i don't think they sing. they just screech in pain.
Pain Fighting Thinking
The bone's 6 inches out of his leg and all he's yelling is, 'win the game, win the game.' i've not seen that in my life. pretty special young man. i don't think we could have gathered ourselves - i know i couldn't have - if kevin didn't say over and over again, 'just go win the game,' i don't think we could have gone in the locker room with a loss after seeing that. we had to gather ourselves. we couldn't lose this game for him. we just couldn't.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.
Success Sports Pain
I win, you win. you win, i win. the gun, i win. the fruit, you win. i win, you win.
Gun Winning Fruit
Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.

Similar Quotes
We don't have in our culture a healthy understanding and respect for the value of being, which is simply being present in the moment, not trying to go somewhere, not trying to accomplish anything but, just present.
Spiritual Understanding Healthy
I wouldn't even like to begin to define god - i have absolutely no idea. but what i feel, and what touches me, is a great spiritual power, which i don't even want to name. if i had to, i would say god, because i don't know any other.
Spiritual Ideas Names
If our shallow, self-critical culture sometimes seems to lack a sense of the numinous or spiritual it's only in the same way a fish lacks a sense of the ocean.
