Excerpt: A Gradual Awakening, Steven Levine
The more we see how the mind wants, the more we see how wanting obscures the present. To realize that there is nothing to hold onto that can offer lasting satisfaction shows us there is nowhere to go and nothing to have and nothing to be — and that’s freedom.
…To see that things can be a certain way without needing to be acted on or judged or even pushed aside. They can simply be observed.
…We want and we want and we want…and nothing can permanently satisfy us because not only does the thing we want change, but our wants change too. Everything is changing all the time.
