The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.

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.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Of course, most of the people in this world are stressed, and most of those who are not stressed are totally bored!

Why does the mind habitually deny or resist the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past and future, so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseparable.

Doing is never enough if you neglect Being.
