to slow down, to go away by yourself,
and simply Be.




Cease trying to work everything out with your minds.
It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration
and let your whole life be Revelation.



Let there be more joy and laughter in your living.



Expect your every need to be met,
expect the answer to every problem,
expect abundance on every level,
expect to grow spiritually
