At the deepest level of our consciousness lies Alaya-vijnana, a personal "cloud" that stores our emotions, habits, attachments, and even memories from past lives. These are veiled by karma at rebirth, not to erase them, but to give us a chance to grow and awaken.
By recognizing these subtle imprints with gratitude, we begin the path of inner transformation. Only when we stop resisting and make peace within can we live as our truest, clearest self.
