Awareness, Consciousness and Spirituality Blog
During these years I’ve continued to work with people via the personal interaction mode. I will continue doing this but would also like to experiment with the modality of interacting with a group via video conferencing and see how it goes. Along these lines I would be setting up an online meet up, once or [ ]
Reader’s Question: I am stuck in a stressful job which drains me each day, I can’t leave the job because of financial reasons, how can I find peace in the midst of it? Though the question is specifically about a stressful job situation, it’s applicable to any unpleasant situation in our life which we need [ ]
Consciousness just implies the ability to be aware, in an open manner, which then leads to an “understanding”.
