Through inquiry we have the ability to see through our untrue thoughts, and thus free ourselves from being submersed in the unconsciousness of the thinking mind. We are able to free ourselves from the pain and suffering. ....It’s like being handcuffed and then realizing the key to those handcuffs was in the palm of our hand the whole time. We just forgot we had the key.  -Gina Charles
