Charles L. Whitfield Quotes

Paradoxically, we often feel like this false self is our natural state, the way we “should be.” This could be our addiction or attachment to being that way. We become so accustomed to being our false self that our Real Self feels guilty, like something is wrong, that we shouldn’t feel real and alive. To consider changing this problem is frightening.
