The Mind Is Everything

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

-- Buddha

Certain traditions would dismiss this observation, simply because of the source. But, if another source was named (which certainly seems like it could be), this would quickly be deemed as true.

This statement is worth both pause and serious consideration.  I think it is true. The mind is a wonderful and terrifying thing, especially in its influence over our being. Redemption makes the difference.
