Resistance To The Present Moment

ET

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, resistance is some form of judgement. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity.The intensity of the pain depends on degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind. The mind always seeks to deny the Now and to escape from it.

- Eckhart Tolle-
