INSIGHT

Suffering Comes from Self-Forgetting

  • Our suffering arises from forgetting our true nature and identifying with a limited self.
  • This narrow self-identity shapes all our experience and blocks us from fully living.
INSIGHT

Nothing and Everything

  • True freedom lies between recognizing we are nothing and understanding we are everything.
  • Wisdom tells us we're nothing, love tells us we're everything, and life flows between these truths.
ADVICE

Explore the Wanting Self

  • Notice your bodily and mental sensations when you strongly want or desire something.
  • Explore what it's like to experience the “somebody self” in these moments to gain awareness and understanding.
