And that thought, of course, is experienced as real by theContinueContinue reading “When and why does healing work?”

Who is a teacher?

The world defines a teacher based on the education system. A teacher is thus a person who instructs, informs and guides students based on a certain curriculum. Even in a spiritual context, this definition seems to be the norm. Most spiritual students believe in this and continue to chain themselves and their teachers to thatContinueContinue reading “Who is a teacher?”
