In this episode, we discuss the elusive nature of our thoughts, inspired by insights from a recent psychedelic retreat. We discuss the challenging realization that the thoughts we believe are often constructs of our mind, not reflections of reality. 
Exploring themes of resistance, awareness, and the temporary nature of our emotions, we learn how to recognize when we're caught in our thoughts and how to face them to find clarity. 
Join us as we navigate these insights, understanding that thoughts are just thoughts, and how this awareness can set us free from life's suffering.
