So, we don’t want to get lost in all this fabulous spiritual stuff and forget our story of me getting inflammatory breast cancer! Right?

Nonduality means there aren’t two of you
Nonduality simply means that there’s not two of you, and so therefore… you can’t find yourself. There’s not two things. — Non-duality means you exist — Nonduality means that you exist. Usually people don’t say that… but obviously, you’re the one who’s not seeing two things.

It’s diving into the question of what causes cancer to …
Wherever You Go
I love the Old Hippie saying of ‘Wherever you go, there you are.’ It’s so true. You cannot get away from yourself… because you would be the one trying to get away from yourself.
