The deep belief in materiality has driven humanity to insanity – we have to gain a sense of conscious unity in order to realise our innate divinity.

Love Attracts

Desire is the primal energy, andContinue reading “Love Attracts”
IT NEVER MEANT ABOMINATION
‘TOEVAH’, the word from the ancient old testament that gets translated as ‘abomination’ and that has been used to condemn (sometimes to death) gay men around the world for centuries, actually refers to the PAGAN PRACTICES of the many tribal peoples that surrounded the Hebrews 3000 years ago. This is explained very clearly on theContinue reading “IT NEVER MEANT ABOMINATION”

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

An Ancient Reference to Gays as Faerie Spirits

According to certain mythologies, humanity once lived in Paradise and since leaving it has been trying to return.

Gender

Ultimately IContinue reading “Shivratri”
