A barrier that prevents inner peace before people have even begun to awaken. So tied up and bound to their own misery, broken from the repeated attempts at finding happiness, any proposed solution to suffering is met with many objections, not least of which is the idea that staying Present is just wishful thinking, too good to be true or worst of all 'toxic positivity'

Fair objections considering the depth of suffering the world contains. But through a sincere examination one finds that the peace attained through spiritual practice is a real, tangible and practical resolution to all suffering, and experience is undeniable, to yourself only and to none other.

The sacrifice involved in spiritual awakening is a high price indeed, and this price paid is the receipt you can show if you ever feel like this whole thing is just too good to be true. How can it be, when the price paid is Everything You Were?

A single drop of bliss is enough to confirm the reality of the infinite universal consciousness, and consciousness pays no heed to either positive or negative - Life is the Meal not the Menu, and contains both Salt & Sweet.

In essence, ultimately, it cannot be toxic positivity because it is neither positive nor negative: It Just Is.
