They live in a perpetual state of reaction going from one experience to another with very little control over their lives. Most people aren’t even aware of this. It becomes, unfortunately, a very natural flow to them even though every thing about it is unnatural to the soul.

This is the key to your freedom. This is the key to self-mastery.
