Nice or Kind?
We are taught as young kids to be “nice”, to our friends, adults, cashiers, teachers and the list goes on. This is in fact a huge flaw and a set up for years of unlearning.

The observer effect
We are such a beautiful stew/melting pot/potpourri of human-karma-spirit-observer-consciousness. Human me is bound to karma, ego, conditioning and generational trauma hurt. If I see myself as human only, the suffering would be unsurmountable! I would live in that place of hell and fire where I would be incapable of holding my own emotions and blame… Continue reading The observer effect
