Reading the threads today I was reminded of an article I read...

The Value of Looking Deeply

The point of this exercise is simply to come to realisation that the content of the wanting will never satisfy you. It is the wanting, the attachment itself, that is causing the trouble.
Yet an intellectual understanding is not enough. I gained an intellectual understanding of this a year ago, and yet subtly I continued my endless search. Please do not cheat yourself out of this exercise – a true understanding, one from the heart and not from the mind, is required. Please continue this inquiry, however long it might take, until you see for yourself how it is the desire itself that is causing your discontent. Or you might eventually decide otherwise; that is also fine. Honour your own experience.

The rest can be found here

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
