About Me

"I think we may dismiss altogether from our minds every claim to experience made by any Christian of whatever breed of spiritual virus as a mere morbid reflection, the apish imitation of the true ecstacies and trances. All expressions of the real thing must partake of the character of that thing, and therefore only that language is permissible which is itself released from the canon of ordinary speech, exactly as the trance is unfettered by the laws of ordinary consciousness. In other words, the only proper translation is in poetry, art and music." ~ Aleister Crowley ~
"You possess a mind and a body that is currently inhaling and exhaling in a gravitational field. Therefore you can benefit immensely from a process that enables you to think more clearly, breathe more effortlessly, and move more efficiently."~Leslie Kaminoff~EK ONG KAUR SAT NAM SIRI WAHE GURU (There is one Creator whose name is Truth. Great is the ecstasy of that Supreme Wisdom)

"I honor the place in you where Spirit lives I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace, when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, then we are One." "When we follow the laws of Nature we maintain optimal health and vitality. When we disregard the laws of Nature we help to create our own stress, addictions, and disease."~Jon Burras~ "You are not your PAIN...most people use pain as an excuse not to move FORWARD." ~ J.@ BYCofIndia
