It is psychologically impossible for us to objectively observe what is
going on within us if we do not at the same time accept the occurrence of
our various states of mind. This is especially true with unpleasant states
of mind. In order to observe our own fear, we must accept the fact that we
are afraid. We can't examine our own depression without accepting it fully.
The same is true for irritation and agitation, frustration and all those
other uncomfortable emotional states. You can't examine something fully if
you are busy reflecting its existence. Whatever experience we may be having,
Mindfulness just accepts it. It is simply another of life's occurrences,
just another thing to be aware of. No pride, no shame, nothing personal at
stake--what is there, is there.

按心理学的观点，如果不接受当下发生的心态，不可能客观地观察当下发生甚麽。
碰到不舒服的时候更是如此。为了观察恐惧，必须先接受恐惧的事实。不完全接受
愁苦，便无法检查它。其它暴燥、激动、失望．．．．．．等不舒服的情感也是一
样。如果你忙於排斥，就无法完整地检查。无论发生甚麽，正念只是「接纳」。接
受它是一种生活体验，毫无自负、惭耻、也没有自我因素－－－只是接受当下。
