So many of us end up in jobs that pay the bills but we feel dissatisfied. Our soul yearns for more. Or we end up at the end of a career saying, 'finally, I can do what I love to do - if I only knew what that is'!
Our histories are filled with 'what ifs'. On our road trip through life we have many options. A turn down that road yields a dead end. A turn down another opens a vista of opportunities. When we're focused in our present circumstances we may not feel like we know what's up ahead. We may assume the choices we're currently making are going to take us some place completely different than where we actually end up.
Are you safe being Home Alone? Will the Government protect you?
Adventures in Density & Effort describes what life on earth is all about. We are Spirit manifesting in this reality for the fun of experiencing the opposite of who We Are.
We all have subpersonalities, and it doesn't mean you're schitzophrenic! What it means is that you have access to all different aspects of yourself, and this can be quite useful when you're conscious of it!
