It’s promoted and advertised with the best of Madison Avenue techniques. Most think it has to be that way, but I believe there’s a more excellent way. And that that way will bring more happiness and more abundance than the world’s way of doing business. This article wasn’t written to condemn anyone’s practice. Everybody gets to do life just as they wish. It’s simply another view,...

Enlightenment is a journey of no distance, to a destination you never left. You don’t have to move in “metaphysical” circles for very long to start hearing about enlightenment.
