Caffeine for the Soul with Michael Neill15 Kesä

A Free Will and a Free Mind

The Scottish mystic Syd Banks once said "When the good Lord made us, he gave us a free will and a free mind." But have you ever stopped to think about what those two things actually mean - and what we tend to do with them?

Today, Michael explores the two gifts that make us human being, why they're such a mixed blessing, and how they give us a remarkable freedom we don't usually notice that we have.

In this episode:

Why the real power isn't in what comes to mind, but in what you choose to give your attention to
The story of Dolores — who woke up happy every morning, then spent the next hour making herself miserable
Why life is harder for humans than it is for sunflowers (and why that's also the point)
The one simple rule of thumb for deciding which thoughts are worth keeping
How to align your free will with something bigger than your to-do list
