The Natural State
Ashari
The HUMAN EXPERIENCE is one of much
intricacy; complex, unique fabrics
woven into existence forming the
larger quantum collective like a
magnificent tapestry. We are the
artists of this tapestry, creation.
We are the creatives of existence.
While asleep in this dream it is
easy to forget the expansive nature
of pure consciousness, ever present
in every living being, human, animal
and plant.
Upon awaking, it is not possible to
see existence as anything but
magnificent. This is our commitment
to our Mother planet, Earth-
Awakening to Consciousness.
Adie
Shub
Speed healing is based upon research
concerning the removal of blood
proteins from the body, which if not
removed, cause disease and death at
the cellular level. By learning how
to stimulate the lymphatic system,
one can strengthen and rejuvenate
every cell in your body. This will
speed up the healing process,
stimulating the immune system,
bringing up your energy and at the
same time helping to lose weight,
get fit and tone up and you do not
even have to move out of your home.
