It's easier to engross yourself in book, online forums etc than it is to look at the mind in all it's starkness for hours on end.

There comes a point when cramming in more information is an escape from present moment awareness and investigating what's going on in the mind, and it can lead to more confusion as the more information you have the more there are likely to be conflicts.

My advise, if you haven't already, is to do an intensive meditation retreat of at least a week as this is the best way to get the momentum going and help base your practise more on experience rather than theory.
