Problem is #identity and Solution is #attention!
There you go! #Humanity can now live in #joy, bliss, peace, and #happiness.
But are these just #thoughts and #ideas in our #minds or are we looking to #experience them as reality? ?? Thinking about it? Well...... that’s still in your #mind. How can one experience it? Because that would be true ‘#Transformation’. Call it #selfrealization or #nirvana or #moksha!

Let’s start with looking at ‘#Pain’. Something that is very common and usually associated with physical discomfort. But also #mental when one is feeling #hurt. For physical pain, we take a pill or bandage it, etc, and give it #time to heal. What about hurt? What do we do about it?................. Why did this person have to say that? Now how am I going to look in front of others? What am I going to say to others? I’ll wait for my chance to get my revenge…… etc, etc….. Something that was a pain, is now a ‘#suffering’. All because of the memories we carry… so now we are suffering the past, in the present and already resenting the future. We love suffering. Conditioning tells us that is how hurts are cured! And what is the part that is suffering? It’s the image we carry in our heads. Also, something that we have made-up from data/memory/past. Our #Identity; a made-up thing. So now let’s pay ‘#attention’. How? By having choiceless awareness. Look at the hurt without memory. What happens…you realize that if you don’t apply memory because you know it is the past (dead and useless) there is no hurt. It was all just #words that did not have an #identity wall to hit ….so it just passed thru with no impact. Result! No suffering.
So are we paying #attention?

1 年Very True , I have seen the same first hand. I have an uncle very short tempered, which impacted his health very badly and Doctor a year or two in 2003. It was when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer. Now he is medical fit and celebrated his 90Birthday with him, with all his body in perfect shape. That is exactly what sages used to mention, your identity is problem.
