Do you really need to mentally label every sense perception and experience? Do you really need to have a reactive like/dislike relationship with life… - Eckhart Tolle

Can you see that this “I” is fleeting, a temporary formation, like a wave pattern on the surface of the water? Who is it that sees this? Who is it that is aware of the fleetingness of your physical and psychological form? I am. This is the deeper “I” that has nothing to do with past and future.

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life....The pain that you create now is always some form of non acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. p. 25

When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war. (Ch 6)
