Good thread on how positive emotion gets coagulated/fixated, and filtered through conceptual models which reduces satisfaction (and increases suffering).https://twitter.com/xuenay/status/1042366563544952832 …
From the perspective of some practice lineages, the key problem lies in this conceptual proliferation - prapancha - which prevents the simplicity of perception. Nishprancha - simplicity - is freedom from all our concepts about what reality is or isn't.
Similarly, Shinzen has talked about how - w/r/t a particular dimension of contemplative practice - the issue isn't the degree to which our emotional experience is positive/negative, but the degree to which we subtly coagulate it, thus creating friction in the system.
The answer in both of these practice lineages is pretty similar: look at the emotion with sufficient stability/clarity of attention & equanimity, and you realise how it is your non-equanimous relationship to the sensation which causes the system to seize up and hurt like hell.
Hopefully I haven't bastardised @xuenay's insights - which I think are great - because I think there are subtle differences & I don't want to pretend we're saying the same thing. The use of 'craving' is a pretty particular way of modelling it, and I'm not sure I fully comprehend.
