Sitting at your desk, walking a warehouse floor, driving a truck...etc. Whatever you do, you're not really there. Physically your organic body is...but you are not. Who YOU are, the real you, is somewhere else. Somewhere beautiful, happy and content. Somewhere in your thoughts. This is how most of us live everyday, but this is... Continue Reading →
The thing about reality is...believing in only yourself and the sentients around you is scary to most people. There isn't as much room for error.
