Dis-Identification

[Annoynymous]

As i know, Indentification with something or someone can cause suffering. Can you guys tell me how it causes suffering? What will happen if i stop identifying? I mean how things are gonna unfold if i stop it? What are the benefits of dis-identification?

dis-identification is a process to go through personally, like staying alert to the present moment, not to stop thoughts but to observe them.

So can thoughts cause suffering? why can they cause suffering? 

Why do you identify with your thoughts? 

Is it because you are aware of them and consider them to be about you, created by you? If so, then what is aware of the awareness of your thoughts? 

If you do this practice maybe you can see exactly how you aren't simply "who you think you are"

dis-identifying is realizing how suffering and everything else we associate as happening to us is actually created by the mind
