Your problems did not begin all at once...(thank goodness!) they built over theyears.So to, with mindfulness, you need to create a steady force within yourself overtime as well.THE GOAL: mindfulness that when in the presence of movement, is immovable. Whenin the presence of noise is silent, in the presence of a disturbance is calm, where impermanence reigns...is ever-present and in the presence of self, is selfless. Sooner than you think, your meditation will become something you do not have to work at any longer...as it becomes the base and foundation of your being.

Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensibleon life. 

? C.G. Jung, The Red Book: A Reader's Edition

Out of evil, much good has come to me. By keeping quiet, repressing nothing, remaining attentive, and by accepting reality - taking things as they are, and notas I wanted them to be - by doing all this, unusual knowledge has come to me, and unusual powers as well, such as I could never have imagined before.I always thought that when we accepted things they overpowered us in some way or other. This turns out not to be true at all, and it is only by accepting them that one can assume and attitude towards them.So now I intend to play the game of life, being receptive to whatever comes to me, good and bad, sun and shadow forever alternating, and, in this way, also accepting my own nature with its positive and negative sides. Thus everything becomes more alive to me.

What a fool I was! How I tried to force everything to go according to way I thought it ought to.an ex patient of C. G. Jung (Alchemical Studies, pg 47) ? C.G. Jung

Cele mai importante lucruri sunt dificil de exprimat. Sunt acele lucruri de care îti este rusine deoarece cuvintele nu se ridica la înaltimea asteptarilor. Cuvintele limiteaza trairile aproape pâna la refuz. Ele înseamna mult mai mult, nu-i asa? Cele mai importante lucruri sunt foarte aproape de locul în care inima ta secreta zace îngropata asemenea unor semne care dezvaluie drumul catre o comoara pe care inamicii tai abia asteapta sa puna mâna. S-ar putea sa fii tentat sa faci dezvaluiricare te vor costa mult, doar de dragul de a fi privit de oamenii din jur într-un anume fel, fara ca ei sa înteleaga o boaba din ce ai spus sau motivul pentru care a

i considerat ca lucrurile astea sunt atât de importante încât sa te bufneasca plânsul îimp ce le spui. Cred ca asta este cea mai rea parte. Când secretul ramâne nedezvaluit, nu din dorinta de a gasi un oarecare povestitor, ci din dorinta de a gasi unsuflet întelegator. (Stephen King
