This is daily breath. I'm De Park Chopra. We are exploring the secrets of the self from the Book of Secrets.

Today we are unlocking the cause of suffering, which I've already told you, is unreality or illusion.

Before I discuss the steps that lead to suffering and how to unlock the key to healing,

I was just thinking of an episode I watched on television of two identical twins.

And one actually thought she was beautiful and the other identical twin thought she was

ugly and all you had to do is look at the official expressions and their eye movements,

movements, hear the tone of their voice,

look at their body language,

whether it was tight or relaxed,

and you could see very clearly that one was suffering and the other was in joy and they were

identical twins. They just chose different experiences. So let's examine the steps that lead to suffering.

Number one, overlooking actual facts.

Anytime you have a belief about something, anytime you have a belief about something.

Have I checked the opposite of this?

Always look for facts.

Do not overlook actual facts.

Also, some people just have an attitude.
