God, as a universal hologram to which we all connect,
promises us that we are limited only by our beliefs.
As the old spiritual traditions suggest, the invisible

our beliefs that can become our greatest source of
freedom. No matter how different the wise tradi-
tions of the world may be, they all lead to the same
conclusion: the opportunity to be free or in prison is
