Identity Quote

In the stillness of meditation, the noise of identity fades away - Daniel Goleman
At its core, this quote means that meditation helps you strip away the constant, chattering story of "you", your ego, your roles, your anxieties, revealing a more fundamental, quiet awareness beneath it all.

Freedom Quote

Freedom arises when one sees thoughts as passing phenomena, not as the self - Daniel Goleman
The core message is that true psychological freedom comes from dis-identifying with your thoughts. You are not your thoughts; you are the awareness behind them.
