“You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,are neither your mind nor your body.Mind and body are your tools – to use as you choose.Sometimes your body appears to have a will of its own,as when it twitches or pains.Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,shame, foreboding, worry, and fearis your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.Know that your mind can be a vicious rattlesnake, and be cautious. The mind can be tamed, but only with conscious effort and patience.”
