More Resources
Every person who wants to evolve their human consciousness needs great resources. Here are some that I use and recommend that will help you in your journey personal growth. Hopefully, they’ll help you as much as they’ve helped me.
Learning the skills required to mature and tame our unconscious primitive ego requires insight into how our human minds work and think. These skills and insights are especially important if our goal is the creation of a sustainable world, and preparation for the changes that are coming as our climate warms and our storms intensify. The future will not be what it used to be. Only through preparation will we create the resilence that will be needed by human civilization to adapt and survive those changes.
