The Ascension Manual by Tony Stubbs "Remember that you, as spirit, want you, as ego, to ascend more than anything else. In this sense, ascension for the ego involves its redifining itself as spirit. This means looking, freeling, thinking and being as spirit. Ego doesn't have to change what it is but only what it thinks it is…..(81).

Joan Halifax Roshi "And we enter into the next problem, which is that we devalue suffering. That is to say, we have an aversive attitude towards our pain and suffering. It is like being shot w/ three arrows. There is the first arrow, which is a pain. The second arrow, which follows the pain, is the story. And there is the third arrow, which is the judgement of our experience of the story" (1641).
Joan Halifax Roshi says……."Pain is discomfort of a physical nature going from mind to acute, and suffering is the story around the pain" ( 1640).

"How would you describe the experience of Satori?"
"I wouldn't. I would not describe it as a Zen teacher because it would be misleading. And anything that I might have to say about it, there would probably be exceptions to it. It's an experience of transformation" (Kindle Location 1255).
