What causes the ongoing persistence of any problem – like recurrent anger at expectations not being met – is trying to avoid certain sensations in your body. The best instrument for avoiding life is a machine we call a Distracter Tractor—your very own MIND. When you experience an experience it comes and goes. When you resist, it persists. Your mind is often an instrument of resistance. You use your mind to try to walk away and forget feelings of hurt, anger, embarrassment, guilt, shame, etc. that give you a “bad feeling”. Your mind tells you if you let yourself experience what you don’t want to experience more, it will only get worse. So you jump to figuring feelings out rather than being with them. Your mind likes to figure things out at a distance, and help you avoid discomfort. Your mind is not always your best friend. ~ Brad Blanton
