How Do You Know When You're Not Aware of Experience?

Buddhism focuses on desire and aversion, which can lead to psychological suffering. When you meditate, your tendency to grasp at what's pleasant and push away what's unpleasant begins to seem as a powerful source of disturbance in your mind. You're not pretending to know something you don't know; you're actually just paying more careful attention to what it's like to be you and each moment.
