You just have to let go.

You can be something new anytime you wish. But most people choose to stay boring. Or, they think they can’t do anything they want, mentally, so they pay a lot of money to take substances that alter their minds for them. They think consciousness is not within the realm of their own control. Or, to be honest, they don’t think about consciousness at all.

I just read another story about a girl who went on an ayahuasca retreat. She had all these learnings come in during a trancelike state and she had visions. It was weird reading that because what she described was exactly like things that happen to me every day without any substance-inducing activity. I lose my mind all the time without help.

The problem is, people are so attached to things in their lives but most of all, they’re attached to their minds. They’re attached to thoughts. Notions. Feelings. Assumptions. Ideas. Conclusions. Judgments. Preferences.

The list goes on. Being attached isn’t great.

You exist. That’s pretty much all you can be sure of. But all the other stuff that’s stressing you out is a prison of your own design. You could wake up tomorrow and be whatever you want. You have obligations and responsibilities based on your own assumptions…
