E177: Handling Reality—The True Path to Inner Peace

About this episode

The episode discusses how suffering arises from trying to make reality conform to our conditioned preferences and emphasizes the importance of handling reality without resistance for inner peace.

Suffering arises because we try to make reality match our conditioned preferences, which are based on past experiences stored in the mind and heart. By identifying with these inner patterns, we become reactive, disturbed, and unable to find lasting peace. Liberation comes from stepping back into the seat of awareness, handling reality without resistance, and consistently letting go of stored impressions so they no longer control our lives. © Sounds True Inc.
