What is it that's bringing you here?
Why does searching occur again and again?
And why does searching never seem to bring the search to an ultimate end--that is, to real peace?

ADMINISTERING ELECTRIC SHOCKS

In 2018, researchers at Harvard and the University of Virginia found that an astonishing 67% of male participants would rather administer a mild electric shock to themselves than sit with their own thoughts. The authors observed:

"[S]imply being alone with their own thoughts for 15 minutes was apparently so aversive that it drove many participants to self-administer an electric shock that they had earlier said they would pay to avoid.”

INVITATION

Here's the invitation: for you and me to open up to what's right here.
