PHILOSOPHY

Love is all around us, the universe is within us, happiness is in the minds eye, war is over if we want it, the truth will set us free!

The Four Agreements: Be Impeccable with Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't Make Assumptions, Always Do Your Best...

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Don't search for the answers which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything." Rilke

We Create Our Own Reality!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

OM SHANTI!
