Section Six
In the encounter with suffering, what actually occurs is not a simple choice among several possibilities, but movement within patterns that have settled over time in the body, the mind, and relationships.
Preserved Section
This section is where my new book is being published gradually - freely and exclusively for founding members. I began writing it during the January 2026 protests in Iran, in days darker than dark, and it will continue to unfold here. The central problem of the text is the cycle of reducing and reproducing suffering. What you read is not a finished work, but the process itself.

What has been observed so far may create the impression that the subsiding and re-pressurizing of suffering operate within the boundaries of the body, relationships, ideology, or war.

Beyond the level of everyday habits, the same pattern of subsiding and re-pressurizing operates through systems of meaning.

A considerable part of the subsiding of suffering in everyday life occurs not in extreme situations, but in behaviors so ordinary and repetitive that they are no longer noticed.

In Mental Reality, especially in the chapter “Bitter and Sweet,” I approached the nature of suffering and its relation to pleasure from a neuroscientific and philosophical perspective.

Suffering is neither something that can be eliminated nor a condition that can necessarily be reduced.
