PERFUME, MUSIC AND BOOKS FOR AN ENLIGHTENED AND HEALTHY HUMANITY
We have a hard time here on earth. Despite the endless and ever-changing wonder of creation, the boundless beauty of nature, and the infinite expansiveness of our experiences, we always end up ageing, falling ill and dying, if not meeting our end suddenly and without warning.
The five elements are the basis of all manifestations in the material-physical worlds. They emanate from colours, or rather from the original luminosity that manifests itself in five colours. This luminosity emanates from emptiness.
Our thoughts influence our emotions, which in turn influence our thoughts, and this cycle continues endlessly. In fact, we could consider the mental and emotional bodies as a single entity, and we would not be far from the truth.

Every day when we wake up, we realize that we are alive. This is the greatest gift we have. This is the time to express our gratitude. For having a human body is a unique, privileged opportunity, a true blessing.
Life’s mission, the reason for our existence, why I’m here on earth: this is the most important and primordial question a person can answer. This existential quest lies at the heart of the definition of what it means to be human.
This is a highly controversial topic, but ….
I’m no longer talking about the mistakes, programming, conditioning and formatting that the system has imposed on people over the past millennials. But one result these aberrations of consciousness has created in many people, especially in Western nations, is an innate distrust of spiritual authorities.
The evolution and progression of our souls on the path to liberation and enlightenment is limitless. The true identity of the self, the soul, is immortal and eternal. As such, it has eternity ahead of it to learn, evolve and advance towards ever greater mastery of its capacity to create worlds and support all beings.
