*Come along with me.. Lights are raining down you see. We will go reeling [Seekers of a world to be] Think of the ceiling (and things beginning) ..Could be in a distant galaxy*
(if you can imagine it,
immaaagiiine it!)
I've been into the plants and simple treasures and i sew patches and i get pleasures and i don't make particular plans 'cause they don't matter.
[I honor the place within you where the entire Universe resides. This is a place of Love and Light, of Truth and Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, there is only One of us.]

Let go of these empty vestiges not worth keeping. Notice the longevity of each breath you are breathing. (Prana, Apana, Sushumna)

"You finally figure out that it's only the clock that's going around.. It's doing its thing but you- you're sitting
HERE
RIGHT NOW
ALWAYS
What blows your mind is you were HERE all the time and it's such a cosmic joke. It's so funny. You're struggling to get HERE."
"From that place then, it all happens, it manifests in perfect harmony with the Universe because you are the Laws of the Universe. YOU ARE THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE!"

(MAYBE THE TRUTH IN SEARCHING
IS NOT HAVING FOUND)
