What is our mind and what is on our mind are very different things. As someone who at times 'hears' other peoples thoughts, and can prove it, i am well aware that what is on our mind is not always even ours! Having clear abilities of resonation and emanation is very crucial in incarnating clearly and without dis/ease. #DoYouMind
