A Free Will and a Free Mind

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
