Topic: An Unbelievable Discovery About the Unseen Source of ALL Self-Sabotage! (9/15/21 Classroom Talk)

Topics Covered: We are intended to use the world that we are in to enter into another world within ourselves that cannot be turned upside-down by anything that happens; Real life never acts against you.
