Using Our Own Minds

The good news in all this is that we can confidently devote ourselves to making up our own minds about reality, taking everything that is handed to us as truth with a grain of salt.
This does not mean that we discount the information we receive from outside sources.
It simply means that we are vigilant enough to question it before we decide whether or not we agree with it.
All the information we receive is useful in the process of helping us make up our own minds.
As we allow ourselves to sit with the things we learn, measuring them alongside our own inner sense of the truth and our own experiences, we find that making up our minds is a joyful process of integration that grows us into stronger, smarter, more engaged human beings.
