In order to make sense of this world our mind assembles a structure of concepts; we label and explain everything, making distinctions, seeing separations, experiencing a world separate from ourselves. We forget that each concept, each thought arises as a result of a set of conditions. . That is the heart of dependent arising: our experience of reality is dependent on causes and conditions just as everything around us. Understanding this process can inspire releasing habitual patterns of thinking that create suffering, to experience things "as it is" as a fluid interdependent whole. Seeing our thoughts and emotions as momentary.
