Have you ever experienced unity with other human beings? This is something that I just love working on because I love doing the Dances of Universal Peace.

If You See God
If you see God, then you know there is no God. If you see God, then you know that everything is God. That might sound a little confusing because it sounds like two different things, two different perceptions. But what matters is who is seeing. Once you know who is seeing, then you see that …
Each Time Humans Come Together
Each time humans come together, something really magical happens. And I mean, like, really come together. Human beings have this thing that we can do where we can actually communicate with each other, we can commune with each other, we can do things together. That’s why we’re so amazingly fabulously creative. We don’t even have …
