E159: How Consciousness Becomes Trapped in Thought

The most basic function of mind is to receive messages from the senses so the indwelling consciousness can experience the outer world. Suffering begins when consciousness fixates on certain experiences and refuses to let them pass. These fixations become stored impressions that form the ego mind, distorting the perception of reality. Liberation comes not from controlling life to match the ego, but from letting go of identification with the personal mind so experiences pass through freely and actions arise from clarity and compassion instead of ego. © Sounds True Inc.
