Your mind is a prison.
It is also a door that opens
to infinite possibilities
that this world and the universe offer.
Here, by Design, you have been chained by your thoughts,
fears and imagining of things you desire,
and what you have been taught you should want.
This aspect of the mind
with its endless selfish needs,
serves as a friction pushing us forward
to the door of Higher Consciousness.
On another level, your mind is a boundary
between this world and the next;
without this door you would be of no use in this world.
Learn to go beyond yourself and the prison you helped create.
That is the beginning of the soul’s journey Home;
and in using this ability to go beyond self
you will awaken wondrous capacities
to help free self and others.
So how to start and where to begin?
Learn to see what is in front of you:
Not what you have been taught is there
but what is actually present.
Question what you learned about reality
and why you came here.
That is one way to begin.
