The Prison of Passive Identification

To acknowledge (or become aware of) a mental limitation is to go beyond it – to not acknowledge it is to live an illusion. If this sounds too easy, too simple, it isn’t – it isn’t easy at all because – unconsciously – we have…

Reality And The Mind

Reality is created by the mind. We can change our reality by changing our mind. [Quote ascribed to Plato on Facebook]. This sounds like a nice kind of a quote – inspirational, insightful, profound, etc, – but does it actually make any sense and did…
