 “I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me”. ~ Isaac Newton Is there such a thing as a true reality – perhaps the whole world is a dream or a dance of consciousness dreaming itself alive?

“We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore All we can do is be open to what is true, and grip on to what we can feel with our senses, and I include all six senses in this. The era of gurus is over. Consciousness is shifting on the…

In fact, I have 100% record of surviving. That’s a great record, isn’t it? When you lie in fear, your abilities become…
