These essays that I write are, in a way, to my lower self. They come from a different place altogether, for the Higher Self that is writing is not the one living in the world!

We are all in pain as we live our lives in this chaotic world and nothing is set in stone. The fluidity itself is confusing and it is this fluidity that keeps us living frantically in our heads.

The heart knows this and it is to the heart that I write.

The world is in terrible shape right now; many systems are breaking down, from the political level to the social one. This world cannot be set right! Let me say that again: This world cannot be set right.

As we get older, we get wiser. This wisdom is our true nature and the world does not recognize it. So some of us take time out each day to reconnect with our spirit. These essays are writing to your spirit.

We must choose to create a safe space for our higher selves to heal us of all of our worldly scars. These scars thrive on neglect. The more you suppress them, the more they hurt you and control you. But you know this….

These days I find myself fretting over all of the crimes on the political scene. I worry about how insecure I feel on the physical level. I know that my emotions are fragile and constantly changing. But the main thing is that I give power to the falseness we are compelled to put on before we venture out into the world. No one knows the complete truth; it is not given to Man to know that.

It is good to start the day off with confession and then ask for help. It will come, but it will only come from inside of you! This world is a mirror and nothing more. Look into it and know the truth. You are the Divine Self wearing a temporary human body and living a temporary human life. This is good news because your problems can be carried by your spirit rather than your ego.

The old adage, “I think; therefore I am,” can be changed. “I know my ‘I am’ is who I am. Thoughts just keep getting in the way.
