Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Life is absurd. Recognizing the overall absurdity of life helps with understanding this. Do you ever pause and look at the world way outside of yourself and think, isn’t this bizarre –or-wtaf?

It’s important that we recognize several facts about how emotions work, and how we are able to make changes to
