Quotes from this Download: “When we open to this unknowingness, we start to make a real leap in evolution." • “There are different depths of awakening. Each has its own stabilization. Then there’s adaptation, learning how to act and function through a whole new vision.” • “True unity is not the same as union, which is a lesser state where “I” as a separate ego merge with something else. There is no union in oneness, because there are not two things to be in union.” • "Spiritual awakenings are shifts of identity -- not to be confused with altered states of consciousness. Who you see yourself to be undergoes a radical change."
