7:01 (False) Compassion and the need to help others or to save the world Once you get involved in working on the level of effect, it is all too easy to lose yourself in it. Stay alert and very, very present. The causal level needs to remain your primary focus, the (teaching of) enlightenment your main purpose, and (your inner) peace your most precious gift to the world. tolle Make it a habit to monitor your mental-emotional state through self-observation. `Am I at ease at this moment? is a good question to ask yourself frequently. Or you can ask: Whats going on inside me at this moment? Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within, secondary reality without. But dont answer these questions immediately. Direct your attention inward. Have a look inside yourself. What kind of thoughts is your mind producing? What do you feel? Direct your attention into the body. Is there any tension? Once you detect that there is a low level of unease, the background static, see in what way you are avoiding, resisting, or denying life - by denying the Now. There are many ways in which people unconsciously resist the present moment. I will give you a few examples. With practice, your power of self-observation, of monitoring your inner state, will become sharpened. tolle
