How to Know Thyself?

[Jade]

Sometimes it's easier than others to trace a thoughtform back to its source. And really, if a thought makes you angry, it's likely not your own. The process is fluid, as in, your preferences and opinions are always in flux and will change, but it's important to recognize when they actually belong to you. I don't know how else to describe it, it's really a trust thing, and an instinct thing. That feeling when something resonates with you, even if it's different from everything else you've heard. You have to let go of the old thoughts that are holding you down. This is also known as releasing the ego. We build up all these thoughts of what the self has to do or be to be "successful" - we need to let go of ALL of those ideas and just be.
