Points That Can Lead You to a Better Place by Paul Taylor
There is a lot of talk in spiritual circles these days of a universal “waking up” period that may come. The only way this would happen, in this humble writers opinion, is one person at a time. There are 8 points to this, among many others, that people can start to implement so they can…

Adopt Principle
The same principles they founded our institutions and governments on, the same way they arrive at their insights and rules in the first place, we can use for ourselves. A simple example. In some third world countries right now, there have developed whole cities of the homeless that now run on economies that almost rival…

You and Your Daemon
Wizards had an idea of archetypes? They did indeed. These were what inspired the ancient pictographs, runes and things like that.

This also seems descriptive for a type 3 indigo. I do have many of these traits that alternate but know…
