In the inner worlds, there are negative areas where lower-minded people go and positive areas where higher-minded people go. In the outer world, you can go places to have lower-vibration experiences and you can go places to have higher-vibration experiences.

How To View Negative Traits In Yourself

Meditation is a Fine Art

Meditation is a fine art and we need to treat it that way. We need to treat it the same way we would treat learning any art form. If we wanted to learn the piano, we would not take a 12-week course hoping at the end of the 12 weeks that we would be able to play the piano like a m
