The mind itself is a beautiful gift, capable of creativity and practical intelligence, but identification with past stored experiences creates an ego mind that continually seeks what it wants and resists what it fears. Spiritual freedom develops as you remain conscious and relax through inner reactions, allowing experiences to pass through instead of reinforcing the impressions that keep your mind troubled. From this clearer state, you can participate fully in life, respond to each unfolding moment with love and service, and discover the joy inherent in your deeper being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 Sounds True Inc.
