It’s the way things are. The more we can see that and open to it, we get over that conditioned fear and we’re just in the experience and the acceptance of the flow. It’s actually quite easeful.” – Joseph Goldstein ================ The Selfless Path to Happiness with Joseph Goldstein - Insight Hour Ep. 251- https://youtu.be/7pPbND8a9tQ ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
