Thought of the day

surely wisdom of our soul has grown dim ~ we first create a god, then worship him when we are reborn in another realm ~ new illusions we cling to overwhelm

a challenge letting go of those false idols and the illusions we create around them. My 'idol' for a long time was food...became addicted to food, worshipping it and the illusion that it met my emotional needs. Thankfully, I grew through it. Appreciate your thoughts.

Simply recognising that we are not this body-mind, we can distinguish between ego cravings and the truth impulse that reverberates within.
