Personal first-person reflection by Josh Trent on losing a leg and finding inner peace. The speaker describes severe medical crises (ICU stay, kidney failure requiring dialysis, threat of further amputation, impending hurricane damage) and explains that inward self-inquiry revealed a sense of peace despite external catastrophes; argues that suffering arises in the mind and that one can choose states such as bliss.

Chapters

What has been the ultimate lesson from losing the leg. I took it as a spiritual opportunity to really, like, turn the camera towards myself and look at how are you handling this? Just being curious as to, like, what was happening with my emotions, with my mental self. And what I found in that turning inward was a sense of peace. And there was nothing wrong in that moment. Even though I was laying in the ICU and I was looking at the hurricane going to take out my house and my clinic, and I had kidney failure. And so they put me on dialysis. So I'm on dialysis. They're telling me that I may need to be on dialysis the rest of my life. And I had one surgeon telling me that I may need to get my leg amputated at the hip. In that one moment, there was nothing wrong, you know, and the problems are what we make in our head. So if we can create the suffering, we can create bliss, we can create whatever we want.
