One of the ego's favorite paths of resistance is to fill you with doubt.
Give it all up and you can have it all.
It's all real and it's all illusory: that's Awareness!
As one individual changes, the system changes.
When humans come together with a true spirit of dealing with the mystery collaboratively, it's incredibly beautiful.
If you meditate regularly, even when you don't feel like it, you will make great gains, for it will allow you to see how your thoughts impose limits on you. Your resistances to meditation are your mental prisons in miniature.
