One of the best lessons I have learned from studying Buddhism is that suffering exists in our mind/consciousness and that freedom from suffering lies in the malleability of the mind/consciousness. Rudolf Steiner said it succinctly in one of his lectures this way: ”We could never BE because we are always BECOMING." There is something comforting about that. Nothing is still. Everything is in flux. Since we are constantly changing anyway, I have dedicated my spiritual practice as well as my art practice towards directing that change. - Chati Coronel
