Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least. A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]
The world did not end yesterday. At least, I didn’t hear about any great earthquakes and I don’t know of anyone who mysteriously disappeared. Anyway, I’m still here. How about you?
