Turn away from them and keep going back to the voices of love and compassion. They are always there and will always be of help. What a miracle! |
And it is through meditation and quieting the chatter of the mind so as to remind ones self that they are evolved to thrive. Our true nature is one of harmony and love. The life force that resonates deeply at the very basic structure of life is a organizing and sustaining force. Attune to the life force and allow it to inform and instruct our mind and actions. The expression of all that is of course, love. As we know addiction suppress: life, love and a sound mind. With addiction one becomes cutoff from the energy of life and withers away.
