The Problem With Identifying Fixations Realisation of our natural, true nature is only obscured by conceptual fixations in the mind. These aren’t easy to spot because it’s what we think we are. Fixations are obsessive attachments which we carry around, … Continue reading
WHAT IF WE DO TAKE IT WITH US WHEN WE GO?
