Awakening to Truth course (class 3 of 8)
Experiencing Energy
ACCESS RESTRICTED TO COURSE MEMBERS
Week 3 of the course Awakening to Truth.
This week is about discovering that we are not who we think we are. We are not our name, our roles in life, what happened to us in the past, or our thoughts or emotions. The same is true of the world around us; true reality is not at all what appears to be real. Exploring this gives us the power to become mighty creators of our own lives.
