From Tarana Wesley

Scientists have discovered that the small, brave act of cooperating with another person, of choosing trust over cynicism, generosity over selfishness, makes the brain light up with quiet joy.

The voice of the ego often talks to you about survival, fear, negativity, short-lived success which is often linked to competition and scheming. The voice of the ego will never tell you the truth about your current situation… (It) will never bring you peace and only when you are in peace you are connected to truth…

Disconnect from your illusionary state to enter the cosmic state and then see yourself reincarnated on Earth to fulfill a unique purpose. In this state, you will be able to connect to truth and the voice of the ego will fade away.

— Barbara Rozenkruis

our soul gets filled

with the glow of all

the people we entangled

ourselves with
