"i hope these are Russian planes about to drop bombs so I can stop meditating" :)

these cravings are fed by the view of self. pleasures for self. cloning ourselves into future. or getting rid of ourselves.

on relative level the self is true. the paradox: ...

it's not that you are not real... but you think you are really real. you exagerate it.

whatever is not yours, abandon it. not identified with any of these components, the mind obtains peace

today: cause of suffering and the end of suffering

“Realized is the unconditioned, achieved is the end of craving”

Can we really even imagine a mind that is free of craving, free of desire? We might occasionally glimpse this potential but often view it as something far off in the future, to be discovered only when we have mastered our minds. Joseph discusses both the possibility and the practice for bringing an end to craving in the moment. The process begins with the recognition of our arising desires and their ability to obscure our clarity and natural openness of mind. We can then be aware of the quality of mind in the absence of these desires. By closely and consistently observing this transition we are examining the very nature of its energy, and moving that much closer to the understanding and lessening of its influence.
