If you want increased freedom from dukkha, increased freedom from the fetters, you have to stop wanting things to be different from the way they are now.
That means you have to accept the present moment as it is, embrace it, abide in it, relax into it. Including the dukkha and the fetters. "Everything's perfect just as it is".
When you meditate on see, hear, feel, you learn to observe dukkha thinking, fetter thinking, to accept it, and to gently extract your mind from it, to gently let go, and you train your mind to abide in the present moment instead.
In time you become intimately familiar with the difference in the two modes of consciousness and you can feel how dwelling in the present moment is liberating.
