Episode description

I've been noticing how challenging it is for the attention to stay with sensations. I revisited your Change course from last year (see attached diagram) where you indicated that physical sensations are intolerable as they confirm the story of self.


In the experience over here it feels more like resistance confirms the story, not the feeling of the sensations. The sensations are transitory and reveal flow and change as constants. *Not feeling them* seems to hold the idea of separation in place. Maybe this is what you meant and I'm interpreting this upside down or something.
