Modern Wisdom
The Basis of Dissatisfaction and Psychological Suffering
Most people feel like they are a self in the middle of their experience, separate from the experience itself./nThis sense of self is the root cause of dissatisfaction and psychological suffering./nRecognizing that consciousness and its contents are all that exist in each moment can help alleviate suffering./nWhile it's important to pursue projects and goals in life, it's crucial to be aware of what is available to attention and why you may be suffering in each moment./nMeditation can help break the spell of identifying with thoughts and allow for resting attention as consciousness in the present moment.
