This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein discusses

  • Integrating the elements of both relative and ultimate truth in our lives
  • The natural compassion that emerges when we let go of self-identification
  • Why our perception of reality isn’t always reliable or accurate
  • Our attachment to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant
  • Considering if the mind can remain unafflicted while the body is suffering
  • Shifting awareness from what we want to how the wanting mind feels
  • Our capability to train the mind in a way that leads to greater freedom
  • Letting thoughts arise without interference or judgment
  • Developing nonreactivity through seeing how quickly thoughts arise and pass
  • Realizing that the past and future are only constructs of the mind

This talk was originally published on Dharmaseed

“Our only experience of the past and future is as a thought in the mind. This is tremendously liberating to see because most of us carry the concepts of the past and future as a huge burden in our lives. All the worries, anxieties, hopes, fears—all of those are arising because we’re not seeing that they’re just concepts.” –Joseph Goldstein
