To seek something through another is wrong.
'..."All that rises, passes away. This I know." What he meant was this: I have learned to offer no resistance to what is; I have learned to allow the present moment to be and accept the impermanent nature of all things and conditions. Thus have I found peace.
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general condition of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly. Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed for your happiness now come to you with no effort or struggle on your part, and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them -- while they last. All those things, of course, will still pass away, cycles will come and go, but with dependency gone there is no fear of loss anymore. Life flows with ease.(p.158)

All inner resistance is experienced as negativity in one form or another. All negativity is resistance.(p.158)
Negativity is totally unnatural. It is a psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the collective human psyche. No other life from on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it.....The only animals that may occasionally experience akin to negativity or show signs of neurotic behaviour are those that live in close contact with humans and so link into the human mind and its insanity.(p.159)
I'll stop for now.
