There was a period in human history when it was a lot easier to live in the here and now than it is today.  For the longest time, life was pretty much the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, for as far as the eye could see in either direction.  If you were a farmer back [...]

The last post spoke about achieving higher consciousness and improving the world by starting with the subject you know best… yourself.
