Wise Investigation: Dissolving the Trance

Wise Investigation: Dissolving the Trance - If we are suffering, it is because we are believing something that is not true and caught in emotional reactivity.

As this light is turned toward awareness itself, it reveals the radiance and emptiness of our true nature.
