Your Pre-Flight Checklist:

Differentiate between my ego self and my essence self. In essence, I am God, I have no limitations, and we are all one.
Phrase and observe my experiences as exactly that: experiences. “I experience anger,” not “I am angry.”
Remember that the gift of awakening comes to different people in different ways. I don’t need to suffer to become closer to God.
