Provocative thoughts are a good start in a mind that has become weighed down with beliefs about how things are - without investigating if the beliefs are serving them and those around them any longer.
"Reality" … is/are the beliefs that we become weighed down by … we think we got it all figured out and then … boom! Something comes along and says … “not so fast there partner … maybe there are some other ways of Seeing.”
See what thoughts you aren't willing to be wrong about … those are the ones that hold you prisoner to the mind.
