In this episode of Cosmic Confluence, host Sana sits down with Saw Myint to unpack a sharp, no-nonsense question. Are you actually suffering in the present, or are you trapped in a replay created by your mind. Drawing from Buddhist teachings and scientific concepts about perception and cognition, Saw explains why what we feel is often a side effect of memory, belief and emotional addiction, not the present moment itself. You will hear a grounded breakdown of how mind and body shift millions of times per second, why both happiness and unhappiness are unstable, and how understanding impermanence can reduce anxiety, depression and attachment without bypassing real life. This conversation is built for listeners who care about mental health, emotional regulation, trauma recovery and practical spirituality across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. It cuts through the fluff and offers a structured way to see your thoughts, feelings and stories with more clarity and less drama. About The Guest: Saw Myint has been supporting people since she was young and credits Buddhist teachings with helping her recover from deep mental suffering. She now shares what she calls the “Buddha Way” to relieve stress, emotional pain and inner conflict by combining core Buddhist principles with a science informed view of mind and body. Based in Australia, she runs a registered charity and offers her guidance as a service, focused on helping people see the mechanics of their mind clearly, detach from unstable highs and lows and live a more balanced, grounded life. Key Takeaways: Our emotional suffering usually is not happening in the true present. Saw explains that mind and body move so fast that what we feel now is mostly a side effect of memory, belief and old emotional patterns. Buddhism and science align more than many people assume. Both reduce life to mind and body, constantly changing at high speed, which means the “present moment” is already gone by the time we notice it. Understanding this does not erase emotions. It helps us stop worshipping them. We can feel joy, sadness and frustration, but we learn not to cling to them as permanent truths about who we are. Attachment is the real problem. Whether it is attachment to pleasure, relationships, status or pain, the grip itself creates long term suffering because nothing we cling to can last. A practical Buddha Way is not about checking out of life. Saw is clear that we still act like humans, love our people, work, play and feel. The shift is to hold everything more lightly so both ups and downs become easier to carry. Facing aging and death honestly can trigger a more balanced life, where success is measured in inner stability, not constant highs.
