Hi, Iʼm reading this book and wanted to share this quote with you.
"HIGHLIGHTS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ASPECTS IN EACH OF THE TEN WORLDS 1. HELL Positive: Personal experiences of deep suffering can lead us to the desire to help others find their way out of their own suffering. Negative: Hopeless despair; the inability to see oneself and others clearly; self-destructive tendencies. • 2. HUNGER Positive: Aiming to achieve goals; yearning to have more. Negative: Greed; hedonism; insatiable desires. • 3. ANIMALITY Positive: Healthy instincts to survive and to protect and nurture life. Negative: Acting only from instinct; threatening the weak and fearing the strong. • 4. ANGER Positive: Righteous passion to fight injustice; creative force for change. Negative: Egotistic self-righteousness; destructive competitiveness; conflict. 5. TRANQUILITY Positive: Neutral state of peacefulness; ability to act with humane reason. Negative: State of passive inactivity; unwillingness to tackle problems; laziness. • 6. HEAVEN Positive: Sense of pleasure and happiness; heightened awareness; feelings of appreciation for being alive. Negative: Short-lived elation that is typically self-oriented; wish for fleeting gratification to repeat can lead to excess. • 7. LEARNING Positive: Striving for self-improvement by studying new concepts through others' teachings. Negative: Tendency to become self-centered; dismissive attitude toward others with less experience or knowledge. • 8. REALIZATION Positive: Gaining wisdom and insight through one's own learning and personal observation of the world. Negative: Lacking a broad view of life due to self-absorption; feelings of superiority over others. 9. BODHISATTVA This word contains bodhi, or "enlightenment," and sattva, or "living beings"—meaning one who seeks enlightenment for oneself and others. Positive: Compassion; acting selflessly for others without expectation of reward. Negative: Neglecting one's own life; feeling contempt for those one tries to help. • 10. BUDDHAHOOD This word indicates the state of enlightenment to the ultimate reality of the universe and all workings of life. Positive: Boundless wisdom, courage, and compassion; a grand life force that illuminates the positive aspects of each of the other nine worlds. Buddhahood is the only life condition that has no negative aspects." (from "Happiness Becomes You: A guide to changing your life for good" by Tina Turner)
