I WAS ONCE WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE: January 22, 2018
WEEK 4 OF THE 40-DAY MINDFULNESS CHALLENGE “It is amazing to me that we can be simultaneously completely preoccupied with the appearance of our own body and at the same time completely out of touch with it as well . . . . When we put energy into actually experiencing our body and we refuse…

I AM ONE WITH EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE: December 27, 2017

WE ATTAIN THE GROOVE OF THE SOUL, REALIZING IT IS MEASURED BY LOVE: December 20, 2017
“In meditation, in quiet contemplation of the Soul, we achieve or attain this groove or rhythm in consciousness and then, and only then, do we know the government and realm of Spirit.
