“…we have disrupted the balance in nature. With our focus placed primarily on our material well-being, we have neglected our spiritual well-being.
Caught up too tightly in our physical paradigm and overwhelmed by impulses of coming at us all at once in our current society, we have forsaken our obligation to cultivate our spiritual awareness and get in touch with our deeper selves. We are simply too preoccupied by our need to provide for our family or partner, to maintain a social life, to perform chores around the house, to stay healthy and fit, and to do whatever is necessary to pay the bills – basically the things expected of us – that we hardly ever stop to ponder what the purpose of it all is.”

“…we are all one, tied by an indivisible substratum. Like these trees, each of us grows, lives and dies in our own way, but we are inextricably tied to an underground power that underlies everything. Through it, we are all bound not only to every other human, but also every aspect of the universe through waves and frequencies”

“The indigenous people of the Andes revere Pachamama, or “Mother Earth,” as the goddess who carries the power to create and sustain life on our planet. She is the source from which all life flows and to which it returns after death, and the force that generates our life experience and guides us through our existence. She is made up of two parts, Pacha and Mama.
Pacha is the physical and material side of things, including: the rivers, the trees, our bodies, an apple, and the Earth. Mama is the energetic and spiritual side of life, such as: love, compassion, faith, attraction, and spirit. They are the yin and the yang of our dual reality, and both need to be in balance for Pachamama to be complete – and for all life to thrive.
This precious balance has been respected by all living beings throughout nearly all of the Earth’s history, until recently.”

“Would I continue to reside in an egotistical world of limiting beliefs, or would I embrace the divine light, dissolve the self, expand my soul, and bond with every particle of creation?”

“During our normal waking hours we are turned in to only a limited range of frequencies. However, any state of altered consciousness – meditation, relaxation, the ganzfeld, dreams – relaxes this constraint.”
