If you can pose and hold the question “What am I?” until what you really are presents itself, it’s the fastest was to complete freedom. But I have yet to meet the person who has done it. But if you’d stay around the clock with only “What am I?” rejecting all other thought, in a matter of a few weeks, you’d have it. In any event, you should always h

It’s possible to grow every day through all our different relationships and meetings. We’re here for growth, not a test.
