The more you condemn yourself for thinking or feeling a certain way, the more you feel stuck within your own body and mind. What if you went the other way and embraced it so totally that it was as if there was never any alternative experience to be reached for? What happens when the conflict ends? Adam Oakley
About This Quote

When we grow up we are taught that we should not tell others how we feel or what we think, and that we should not express ourselves unless it is on a very specific subject. When we feel like we cannot express ourselves under these conditions, we may become very anxious and scared and eventually develop a very inferiority complex. What if those guidelines were changed? What if you could potentially release those feelings and thoughts, but instead of doing so within the physical body, you did so within your nonphysical consciousness? When you feel those feelings and think those thoughts, how do you choose to experience them? By staying stuck in the physical body and emotions; then the only choice we have is to keep experiencing them over and over again.
