Meditation regulates suffering.

[Rishabh R]

My mind has a habit of suffering due to romantic rejections, bullying , hurtful interactions that happened in the past.

However, when I meditate my suffering lessens.

Could anyone explain why this happens ?

Thanks.

My guess is that meditation calms both the mind and the body on a physical level. So normally when you go about your day you might be heavily engaged in your thoughts, but when you sit down and meditate you are trying to observe your thoughts neutrally so less engagement in them so they can calm down from that. And it calms the body on a physical level and stress can be stored and maintained through tension in the body so staying still calms that down and can dissolve that tension

Every moment is either deepening illusions or dissolving illusions and everything your eyes show you is illusion.

Meditation is a tool for dissolving illusions.

The more dissolving, the less suffering, the better the life.

This world is not important except as a path to transcend it.

The what we call Agent Smith, The Matrix, it is the entity of the collective egos among all the living creatures of the universe. This consciousness will always mock you, it will disguise as ''mind chatter''. When you start to have conversations in your mind too much you are having conversations with that low consciousness. It will make flashy things for you and it will mock you to your grave if you don't know about this. In reality so few know this, or none, on how Agent Smith operates. It will make even spiritual awakenings and feelings and everything, etc.
