Let it be said he died and come back to this world three times.  He returned from a place that influences our dreams in more ways than we realize.  He believes recognizing these truths will enable us to consciously stabilize the energy within and around us.

In the process of reflecting on these truths, you will begin to recognize certain blessings you may not have noticed.  This will enable you to manifest strategies for health and well-being, and expand on your experiences.  What are your own views and gut feelings?
