Our Sacred Memories
The Power of our Soul’s Experiences

Each one of us may have a sacred memory kept in our hearts, something we will always treasure. These are deeply personal and unique to us: maybe a special moment in time, someone we loved, a spiritual awakening. Yet we also hold memories collectively, down through the ages: either as humanity as a whole or as groups of souls who share experiences of other worlds and times.

We, with all our emotional baggage, need to clean up as far as we can and let it shine through.

Healing Ourselves, Healing the World

In last month’s article, we explored why we have come to live in a world where there is enough for everybody but not everybody has enough. Key to this is understanding the need to see our world through the eyes of humanity, all humanity, rather than the narrow focus of one country, religion or community.
