Power Quotes From The Show Born Of Love "We're born of infinity, eternity, and love. Look at the state of the world today. We're not living God's vision for this Earth. We're blessed with free will so we can grow from separation to union." - Aubert Bastiat Hitting Rock Bottom "We need to let it all go and fall apart before it can come together. We need to come to a rock bottom that can serve the foundation of who we are in an authentic way. That's why we have experiences where we're on our knees praying. When we come to that place, our heart opens because we're humble." - Aubert Bastiat The Best Life Is Right Now "God wants to see what we can do with this moment and what we have right here right now. Not tomorrow, not when we have the nice house or the perfect life but right now. Wherever we are right now in life. That's our responsibility to make the best life ever right now." - Aubert Bastiat Links From Today's Show  Aubert Bastiat The Higher Self with Danny Morel Rumi Alan Watts 504 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis Amara Samata Inner Guidance Institute Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World by Paul Levy Columbus and Other Cannibals: The Wetiko Disease of Exploitation, Imperialism, and Terrorism by Jack D.
