“Though we're conditioned to identify with the thoughts that pass through our awareness rather than with awareness itself, the awareness that is our true nature is infinitely flexible. It is capable of any and every sort of experience - even misconceptions about itself as limited, trapped, ugly, anxious, lonely, or afraid. When we begin to identify with that timeless, pristine awareness rather than with the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that pass through it, we've taken the first step toward facing the freedom of our true nature.” FreedomAwarenessBuddhismEnlightenmentAwakeningSelf RealizationTrue NatureThe Path Of The BodhisattvaFree Your Mind Book:Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom Source: Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom
