"So we have consciousness and energy and a brain, and the resulting pattern is called mind. And mind is as vast as it perceives itself to be or as small as it perceives itself to be. If the mind gets so lofty that it feels alienated by the crippled reality around it, it will not operate here anymore; it will be beyond it."Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the law of the universe will be simpler.
