“Do we buy in? Do we buy into the content? Do we get lost in this mind-created world of ‘future,’ or can we see it as being as light as a momentary thought, a momentary image? Just like a sound arises. But it takes a great deal of vigilance because these thoughts, these tides of conceiving, are tremendously seductive. You know, we’ve been doing this for years, and perhaps lifetimes. But awareness is very powerful, we can actually free ourselves from this prison.” – Joseph Goldstein

In this episode, Joseph talks about:

How the tides of conceiving continuously arise in our mind and condition our experience
The different concepts that we solidify and make real, including our bodies, time, and the mental construct of the self
Why the concept of the self is so deeply held and why we’re so attached to it
The four realities that can be experienced directly, including that of Nibbana, which is also known as the unconditioned
The wide range of expressions of the experience of the unconditioned that is available in different Buddhist traditions
