Many questions come to mind when the word alignment comes up as it has become a buzzword, in spiritual circles. What is alignment? Is it only living in accordance with the laws of the universe?

The reasons why it is unattainable or is perceived as such, is that we as humans think in concepts and cannot define the laws into concepts that we can see and touch.

When we limit ourselves to only using our five senses, we can close our perceptions of what the truth really is. I believe that truth is that we are a manifestation of the consciousness, which
