It's impossible to fight. That's
the Pain Body. It's NOT a part of YOU. It is it's own entity and It want's to survive.
It wants to, but the only way it can is if you feed it. It is not you. You are not your thoughts. You are the thinker. Separate yourself from that feeling when you notice it, and remind yourself that you are safe and sound, and that, in THIS MOMENT, you are OK. Nothing is lacking.

But look closely and you will that your thinking and behavior are designed to keep the pain going, for yourself and others.
