Episode notes
Mind as Ocean: Still or Turbulent
- The mind can be like an ocean, creating waves (thoughts) or becoming still, which is peace.
- Realizing you are not your mind changes your consciousness profoundly and permanently.

- You hold the bars yourself through focusing your consciousness on painful memories rather than letting them pass.
