Every so often, it’s important to check in and get a spiritual
gut check on how far you’ve come on your journey.
Whether you believe or not, there are beings in the higher
realms who watch over us and ocassionally nudge us along
- especially when we go far afield. Ultimately, their goal
is that we are able to live freely and with all the concious
