Sure, people can lock you up and take away all your possessions. They can isolate you from friends and family. They can make you eat food not fit for human consumption. People can do all that—and more.
BUT . . . there's one thing they can't do. They can't ever, ever take away your right to think for yourself—your right to inner freedom!
That's right. No one, no matter how threatening, can stop what's going on in your inner being. No one can stop your mind-action—the way you see with your mind's eye, hear with your mind's ear, feel in your heart of hearts.
