"After more hours upon hours of spiritual autolysis, I wrote something else that is true: What you resist persists."

In Chapter 18, the author examines the question of resistance and how the idea has been perverted inside the movie theater.

"The truth is that all resistance is based on a judgment; or put the other way, resistance would not exist without a prior judgment. If you judge something to be “negative,” you resist it. So the solution is not to try to deny or ignore the “negative” thoughts and focus on the “positive ones,” but to eliminate the judgment altogether that is the source of the resistance."
