Freefall

We're in a freefall into the future. 
We don't know where we're going. 
Things are changing so fast, 
and always when you're going through a long tunnel, 
anxiety comes along. 
And all you have to do to transform your hell 
into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. 
It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is... 
joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.

People who think they can control their negative emotions 
and manifest them when they want to, simply deceive themselves. 
Negative emotions depend on identification; 
if identification is destroyed in some particular case, they disappear. 
The strangest and most fantastic fact about negative emotions 
is that people actually worship them.
        P. D. Ouspensky, The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution
