[lazyyogi]

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry–all forms of fear–are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

Eckhart Tolle (via lazyyogi)

When we have the correct type of concentration, everything is just coming and going, coming and going, and there isn't anyone going to pick anything up, attach to it, or interfere with it. No one is hating this state or wanting to keep that state. All is just coming up and leaving, coming in, right through, without being attached to.

When we have the observer, and are able to see that there's no chance that the body or mind can be in the state of lasting happiness, when consciousness completely sees that everything just arises and falls, that there's no chance of holding or keeping to anything, no chance to gain any lasting happiness, when it sees this, and realizes this clearly, then we'll drop the body and the mind, and will never attach to them again.

Here's what right: just know the mind and body as they are in the present moment. Don't try to do anything other than that. Thinking isn't true mindfulness, and neither is forcing the mind to be still. Some people are afraid to be bad. They just hold everything in, suppress, try to stay still, and not to think. People who do this, no matter how many years they practice, will never see the dhamma. They'll never reach any sort of spiritual enlightenment doing that as they are immersed in nature of self-control. On the other side of this spectrum, we have people who keep thinking and analyzing, that never come down to practicing. They just keep thinking and coming up with concepts all day long. We can't enlighten in that way either. Take a look at yourself. Have you been practicing for many years, and haven't really progressed?

Awakened beings cannot behave in cruel, unkind and selfish ways simply because the causes for those kinds of actions no longer exist.

May all beings be happy.

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.
