Identifying with thoughts and experiences is the habit of ego which then creates attractions and aversions to maintain its identity. Notice the tendency to superimpose “I, me, mine” on life. Let it go and take a step toward freedom.

Notice how thought activity is directly related to diet—what we eat and how we eat it. Honor the body temple so that the soul’s radiance may shine through a pure mind.

There are basically two kinds of thoughts—those that shore up the sense of separate self, and those that return awareness to the unity of the true Self. The first kind ultimately brings suffering, the second, joy.
