When you are conscious of your unhappy feelings,
the truth is that you are identified with them
and keep the process alive through compulsive thinking.
All that is unconscious.
If you were conscious, that is to say totally present in the Now,
all negativity would dissolve almost instantly.
It could not survive in your presence.
It can only survive in your absence.
Even the pain-body cannot survive for long in your presence.
You keep your unhappiness alive by giving it time.
That is its lifeblood.
Remove time through intense present-moment awareness
and it dies.
But do you want it to die?
Have you truly had enough?
Who would you be without it?
~ Eckhart Tolle
