quote-

The Work, in a way, is like ’avoiding the avoidance’. If your focus is on remembering yourself, in watching, in self-knowledge, self-study: to know what the mind, the heart, the body is doing. If you’re focused on ’seeing’ then you become ever less compulsively attached to the results of what’s happening. Being more objective to it you see more, because you don’t care so much - you care if it knocks you off your horse! The Work talks about: ’bringing awareness up to the level of incoming impressions’. It’s a considerable process, it’s completely different from the ’normal’ way we relate to life - more pleasure less pain, more pleasure less pain, am I getting, getting, getting, am I losing, losing, losing!
