Energetic Life

Most of us possess a self-image about ourselves. To be cherished. To be protected. Sometimes at all costs. This is done mostly subconsciously by the mind. The mind uses storytelling as one of its tools. Very often it can result in a delusional stories and convictions that brings little pleasure and a fragile being. Pain is inevitable.
