Part 1
So great is the need of the false self to feel “important” that it never stops imagining what it must have to feel that way; so that, by default, it lives in an almost constant fear of any moment it sees as a threat to its desired sense of self. And, as incredible as it seems, it uses this ensuing state of self-created tension as proof that the crowning moment it seeks is nearly at hand.
Part 2
The divided mind has but one love, and that is to divide life in two; nothing is sweeter to the lower level of consciousness than creating the sensation of feeling apart from all it sees. In this way, it always has something to do... because it never stops reaching for what it imagines it must have to make itself feel whole.
