Imagine holding your preferences lightly, affording yourself the ability to see with equanimity. If this notion makes you feel like you’d just disappear, fear not. You won’t cease to exist without your preferences, you’ll just be more closely aligned with your true-self. Practicing neutrality is a shortcut to stepping out of your ego. It helps to eliminate the bias created by your filter. You may worry about losing your identity, but you’ll really just reduce your suffering. If beliefs and identity cause you suffering, equanimity… 

Sets you free.
