Ep 69: This Is Your Greatest Cause of Suffering

Start Your Transformation Now


How many things, ideas, people and emotions have you “attached” to yourself? How many of these things have brought you anguish and despair?


Buddha once said, “The cause of suffering is attachment” and that’s obviously what I’m talking about in this episode.


I see people angry for years over their past circumstances, past relationships, lost dreams, lost physical property and the list goes on. All of this is attachment.


In this episode I talk about:

  • [4:41] What things you have attached to that have caused you pain
  • [5:40] My own battles with attachment
  • [7:05] How expectations are a form of attachment
  • [14:19] Why political beliefs are attachment
  • [16:12] How most people don’t ask for truth in life
  • [18:13] Why beliefs are archaic
  • [23:58] The poison of negative emotional attachments
  • [28:28] How attachment blocks life realizations

  • And, like I say in every podcast description, much more.


    Working with a shaman for many years, letting go of attachment has been one of the biggest lessons in the forefront of my life. It can be a challenge and also very liberating.


    As we all know, it’s so easy to attach to things, people and ideas around us, and in the end, many of these things come to be our suffering.


    I enjoyed doing this episode and hopefully you can see yourself in many of the examples I used.


    Transformational Takeaway: Attachment is suffering.
