This conversation is also about choosing the spiritual path—again and again. Not as a concept, but as a lived practice. Choosing to rise above the endless loop of thoughts, stories, and old identities that keep us tethered to shame, fear, and self-doubt. Learning how to witness the mind rather than be ruled by it is a radical act of devotion to the soul. Beca…
