Thanks for the wonderful description! That is exactly what I am speaking about. Another Reality interpenetrates our mundane existance, the one we call
"real".




What you are seeing when you shift your awareness like that is another Reality. I call it Greater Reality, and I believe it conforms to what I call the
Objective.




So, everything else pretty much in our known world, is temporary and subjective.




Via the medium of Not Doing we get glimpses of something totally Other, and gradually this re-habituates our awareness from the unreal to the real.

These are negative emotions and bad habits are considered afflictions, as they torment us.


If we can bring these into our awareness and just let be, then awareness will dissolve and transform them. Kleshas are not just negative emotions but
aggregates of habit energy. At one level we might think there were a part of us, that we don't like. But they are just accumulations of unconscious habit
energy. They can give rise to addictive and negative behavior patterns so transforming them, is a big thing. Some are easy to transform and some form
accretions that are so ingrained as to be very difficult. Start with the easy ones
