Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

You live in an illusion… like The Matrix… And you are not happy…

In a workshop yesterday we spent some time defining REALITY. what must be present, what checkboxes you must tick for what you see to be reality… and everything that is not reality is illusion.
