How to Make Pleroma States Permanent? (II)

So how do you make Pleroma your permanent state?

Is there a special method?
 
A get-the-perfect-abs-in-a-week trick?

A magical pill?

Alas, no.

What I can offer you instead is what Buddha calls 'bitter balm'. An unpleasant truth no one wants to hear. But this truth, once you realize it fully, cures you.

And the truth is: you have to work your way to Pleroma.

PERSISTENTLY.

PATIENTLY.

Spiritual evolution is missing an 'r' for a reason.

Methods that take you to Pleroma are a shortcut, but they too will only take you so far.  

What they do is give you a glimpse of the transcendental reality.

It's like being magically transported to a mountain peak, from which you can see your life and problems from a bird's-eye view.

But this is not your natural perspective. You HAVE NOT EARNED IT yet.

So what is the good news?

Some progress is made whenever you process. 

Even when you get back to your 'normal', unpleasant reality after spending some time in a Pleroma state, you're not exactly back at square one.

What you need to do is continue climbing that mountain, even when it feels like you'll never get to the top.

And enjoy Pleroma states that you do experience...

... And stop comparing yourself to others...

... And stop worrying about Pleroma. 

"On being asked by someone how he could become famous, Diogenes responded, by worrying as little as possible about fame."
