Mindfulness can be a lens into looking into the elements that fuel the judgemental self. Mindfulness can help us see that “I,” that “self” who desires and dislikes. How we attach to such desires wanting more and fearing their loss and how we are constantly trying to avoid our dislikes. Until we shine the light of awareness into the dynamics of such patters of behaviours we will keep experiencing the up-and-down states of the wheel of change.
Only by turning on the light, you can instantly destroy the darkness. Meditation can be the light shining awareness onto our attachments and afflictive emotions. As turning on the lights in a darkroom instantly removes the darkness. Likewise, through meditation or even, a rather simple analysis of our patterns of ego-clinging and afflictive emotions can make them collapse. Such collapse sees through our attachments and how these can be the cause of our suffering. Such can lead to liberation from the cycle of Samsara and the transcending of suffering .
