āComing to the end of suffering means that we learn how to work with and understand and free ourselves from the force of the fetters in the mind. Whatās amazing about this teaching is that itās ultimately, completely empowering because itās all up to us. Our suffering is not due to other people. We can take responsibility for our own minds.āā Joseph Goldstein

This week, Joseph offers wisdom on:
Mindfulness of the patterns of experienceInternal and external sense spheresThe mind as a sixth senseThe way we attach the self to all we experienceSeeing objects as being conditioned and selflessOur sense organs and paying attention to how we experience sensesThe contingent nature of consciousnessFreeing the mind by becoming disenchantedRecognizing defilements when they arise, and letting them goHow we often push the river of experience rather than allowing it to flowMaintaining openness of the mind without preferencesāWhatās difficult is to see all of these sense objects and the sense bases, to see and understand them as being conditioned, selfless, not I, not mine, not belonging to anyone. Not only seeing the sense object and sense base as selfless, but seeing the knowing of them as selfless.āā Joseph Goldstein

āIt is so freeing to realize that the only power that thoughts have is the power that we give them. The thought itself is little more than nothing. It is just this little blip in the mind, arising and passing away. But, when theyāre unnoticed and weāre identified with them, taking them to be self, weāre giving them an enormous power in our lives.ā ā Joseph Goldstein

āThe Buddha is saying that consciousness itself is a conditioned phenomena. Itās impersonal, arising out of causes, arising out of conditions moment to moment. Here we see that consciousness is not something thatās permanent. Itās not something thatās always present waiting for an object to appear, to be known. But rather consciousness itself is a process continually arising and passing away moment after moment.ā ā Joseph Goldstein

āWe also create concepts about things that may seem even more fundamental like age, gender or race. But when we look more deeply, we see that these are concepts too. How old is your breath? It doesnāt make sense. Is the pain in your back male or female? What color is your mind? Itās not to say that the concepts donāt point to some differences of experience, but we often become so identified with and attached to the concept." ā Joseph Goldstein

āContemplating externally not only keeps us in balance so we donāt have this total self-absorption, but weāre paying attention in some way, weāre enlarging the context of our practice.

Weāre mindful of the feelings and mind states externally so we see, weāre attuned, weāre aware, in a mindful, non-reactive, non-judgmental way of these states as they arise in other people. Weāre paying attention.ā ā Joseph Goldstein

In this episode of the Satipatthana Sutta series, Joseph Goldstein discusses
How craving can consume our entire beingThe thirst for sense pleasures and how they keep us dependentHow society feeds and fosters our sense of desire and cravingClinging to and longing for certain mind-statesThe primal thirst for continued existenceHow expectation takes out of the present momentAbiding in empty, open awarenessThe craving for non-existence during painful timesDependence through view and the felt sense of āIāHow to accomplish the deconstruction of selfThis talk was originally published on Dharmaseed
āWhen in the seen just the seen, in the heard just the heard, in the sense just the sensed, in the cognized just the cognized, then you will not be influenced by what arises, not carried away by craving.ā ā Joseph Goldstein
