Apples and Oranges

When you desire apples more than you do oranges is when you will start to choose apples instead of oranges. Life is the same way too.

A lot of people say to me they want to have a more spiritual life. But the truth is they don’t desire it enough. It’s only when their desire for it becomes really strong will they give up their current way of life and start to choose a more spiritual way of living.

    Everything begins in the mental plane

    Everything begins in the mental plane first before it manifests in the physical plane. You think to yourself “I would like some ice-cream” first then you get up and go and get yourself some ice-cream. But it began in your mind with a thought. Each thought has a picture, sound and
