The human experience consists of three layers: the mind, body, and spirit. The mind is a sharp tool that creates stories and seeks to affirm itself, leading to suffering through avoidance or withholding forgiveness. The body experiences emotions and projects intuition. The spirit is the ever-present, incorporeal knowing that is Love, which is the fabric of the universe and that death and time are illusions. The spirit can be felt in the heart and heard when the mind quiets itself. To live in Truth and Love, one must surrender the pull of the mind and let go of suppressed emotions. This leads to peace, love, and bliss that can only be experienced. The more one can surrender and be present and vulnerable, the more they can disempower the mind's grip on suffering and awaken to peace, love, and gratitude.
