The Real Problem of Experience

It’s not meditation, positive thinking, and mindfulness that were missing. We aren’t missing the next “invention”, technique or method on how to increase well-being.

We are missing a genuine understanding of ourselves, humans and our minds. Which leads us to the inability to manage this complex mechanism of being human.

We have thoughts dragging us everywhere on a leash, endless desires engulfing our minds, we trade the richness of the moment for “rathering” to be somewhere else, thinking about what we should be doing, what we’re missing, and what can happen in the future. We adopt perspectives that are deceivingly harmful to our experience, we have a lack of separation between us and our minds, perpetually overstimulated by technology, obsessed with fixing, escaping and distracting.

And not just knowing something intellectually, but understanding something as a truth in experience which you discover.

We lack an understanding of who we are, the nature of self, how we become conditioned, how our perception of ourselves and the world is formed, what thoughts and feelings are, where these experiences emerge from, the nature and tendencies of our mind, the fallacious games our mind plays, the un-serving illusions that coat our mental model and so on.

The only way out is to understand at a deeper level what it is to be human.
