Part 1
The mind asleep to itself doesn't realize it creates the stress and strain it can't stop trying to rescue itself from; and that the more it struggles to think of a way out of its self-induced conflict, the greater grows its struggle.

Part 3
When you end your involvement in painful thinking, painful thinking ends its interference in your life.
