Defeat boredom through direct experience

1 post in this topic

Equipment necessary: You (Your aware presence) and everything that within it.

Boredom is a form of pain which many humans experience on a very regular basis. Since my definition of suffering is "continuous pain", boredom sometimes even becomes a form of suffering. 

It is then of great importance to know how to rid ourselves of this 

The downfall of boredom is that "being bored" is actually a very interesting phenomenon to observe. 

Once you put your attention on the boredom, and view it from a higher ground, consciously , it becomes small or insignificant and sometimes even interesting. 

One can say the moment you became interested in / started watching the boredom, you immediately removed the boredom since you are now interested in something. (you can't be really interested in something and be bored at the same time)

So now since the boredom is gone what are we really observing?  Did what we tried to observe even exist to begin with?  Or did it just appear and disappear in the shadows? How can I become bored again if the state itself fascinates me so much?

 

TLDR: Boredom defeated


Mind over Matter, Awareness over Mind
