Dream Pain Profound

More From F. Scott Fitzgerald

Nothing goes on forever. i think that's one of the illusions of life. when i talk about my life being an extension of my dreams and fantasies, there's a tendency to think of them as immature. i live in a mature world. the majority of the people in this society live with delusions and illusions much more irrational and hurtful than mine. they deal with mortality, with fantasies relating to heaven and hell, and they don't really deal with their problems at all.

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.

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.

I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what i thought i was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what i am.
Dream People Feelings
At first i protested and rebelled against poetry. i was about to deny my poetic worlds. i was doing violence to my illusions with analysis, science, and learning henry’s language, entering henry’s world. i wanted to destroy by violence and animalism my tenuous fantasies and illusions and my hypersensitivity. a kind of suicide. the ignominy awakened me. then june came and answered the cravings of my imagination and saved me. or perhaps she killed me, for now i am started on a course of madness.
