"One of the main tasks of the mind is to fight or remove emotional pain, which is one of the reasons for its incessant activity, but all it can ever achieve is to cover it up temporarily.
In fact, the harder the mind struggles to get rid of the pain, the greater the pain.
The mind can never find the solution, nor can it afford to allow you to find the solution, because it is itself an intrinsic part of the “problem”. You will not be free of that pain until you cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind, which is to say from ego." - Eckhart Tolle


Painful emotions have a way of regenerating themselves in our systems, moment by moment, month by month, and year by year. If we want to cut this regeneration at its root, we must come to deeply understand and embody what I call "complete experience."
In the face of difficult emotion, we often turn away from the experiences by either repressing it or impulsively acting out; we do not in fact experience what's there all the way through. We have learned to do this many years as a way to cope with unpleasant emotions and thoughts as they flow through our lives.
Whenever we turn away and avoid what is there, however, we generate future suffering for ourselves and often those around us. - Adyashanti

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too. - Eckhart Tolle
