Part 2/7:
The mind has the capacity to be either a miracle or a misery manufacturing machine. It is vital to create awareness and a little space between oneself and one’s thoughts. This simple separation is posited as a means to alleviate suffering. The speaker notes that feelings of jealousy, fear, or anger do not need to be banished; instead, we need to understand that we generate them through our mind's unrecognized capabilities. Our thoughts can evoke joy, or they can spiral into turmoil — we hold the reins, but many don’t realize it.
