Episode notes
Life Isn't Trying To Make You Miserable
- Life itself is not here to make you suffer; suffering arises from our own self-conscious mind.
- We endlessly chase satisfaction through thoughts tied to time, but it is always pseudo-satisfaction, like a shell game.
Illusion Of Self And Time
- The sense of a separate self and time is an illusion created by self-reflection.
- Without this illusion, seeking and suffering do not actually occur in the present moment.
Look Closely And Trust Life
- Keep looking closely at your own experience without needing a map or paradigm.
- Trust life and understand that you are not here to suffer, but to find freedom and peace.
