This essay deals directly with our suffering and unhappiness. The causes are identified as the desire cycles our ego-attachments enmesh ourselves in. The solution is to de-identify with the desire process. How do we do this? I talk about the incorrect perceptions we have of ourselves and of reality. To move out of this we must nurture the capacity to be with our true nature. Mindfulness and daily meditative practice are the keys to get out of this prison. We either eliminate attachments fully, or remain stuck. There are no half measures. Without such understanding we can never take steps to be free, remaining caught in the wrong identifications that allow attachments to entrap us in suffering. Meditation changes their energy, relocates us in heart consciousness, allows the wrong identifications and attachments to fall away, simply because there is no energy to sustain them. |
