Conversations with the Heartmind
Some believe that things happen for a reason, others believe that randomness is all that exists. Some believe that existence is the only reality, and nothing exists beyond existence.

Read More“We feel and know that we are eternal.” ~ Baruch Spinoza I’ve always been fascinated by the notions of destiny, fate, cycles of life and possible past or future incarnations.
