Revelation

Topics Covered: There must be a new kind of struggle, not with what our consciousness says is the problem, but with the consciousness itself; The world that we see outside of ourselves is a reflection of our consciousness.

Topics Covered: In order to realize our highest destiny we first have to realize that we presently do not know what our true higher destiny is; Our highest destiny is neither found nor realized through the passage of time.
