Swiss Retreat 2019 Group Interviews 6 (58:05-1:01:40)
Yogi: I have habitual very aversive thoughts – I’m totally identified with them. And I start to see the wanting in the stories to fix the past. Seeing the wanting, the thoughts are still there, but they become light and less solid.
Sayadaw: The cause of aversion is greed.
When you saw the greed in the aversive thoughts and they didn’t feel so solid, it is because there’s some wisdom in that seeing.
When we see the direct cause of something, it doesn’t feel so solid because wisdom is present.
In a sense, you’re seeing it as it is. You’re seeing the reality of what is happening.
