There is a powerful misconception of what goes on in our heads is connected with who we are. Holding on to the" belief” that we are our minds, perpetuates the continual human suffering. Believing our mind is who we are, strengthens the illusion that we have no control over our thinking, our emotions, or our perceived realities. Renee Cefalu
