Why would I want to watch how I follow thought? Why would I wait through discomfort, or bear with a feeling of nothingness? Because it is better to do so. Because thought, although many thoughts are helpful, thought itself leads me nowhere real. If I shrink back in meditation from discomfort, I have taught myself that I cannot meditate. If I do not bear up with the feeling of nothingness, I will see it as real, and I will trade my shivering self for a destroyed one.
I breathe, I meditate, I concentrate. I see the poor mechanisms of habit. I learn to watch them. I touch and am not torn away by thought because I recognize it.
