Mind or thinking is insubstantial and empty in the material world. However, this mind or thought can be so powerful that it creates things from nothingness. This mind can travel anywhere in the universe without restriction of time or space. Once you can keep this mind open and free, you are able to create myriad things without restrictions. If your mind is restricted in the human matrix, dogmas, or tradition, then your spirit will be in bondage and cannot be developed. — ^ref-42034
「聖人」處「無為」之事， 行「不行」之教。 萬物作焉而不辭， 生而不有， 為而不恃， 工程而弗居。 夫唯弗居，是以不去。
Fearful that believing in love’s truths and letting them guide our lives will lead to further betrayal, we hold back from love when our hearts are full of longing. — ^ref-43430
