Then no thoughts of bondage or dependence would even enter your mind. Those types of thoughts enter in when monkey mind thoughts are
“God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” Replace the word “God” with “Life” and you get: “Life is in everything I see because Life is in my mind.” Try using the word “light”: The light in you is in everything you see. The light that shines in you is the
