To find the Secret , we need to look inside or Meditation is the Key

I just read this beautiful Indian mythology:
All people on earth were once Gods. However, they started to abuse those godly powers. So the supreme God, Braham, decided that he would take the gift away from them and hide it in a place where they could never find it.
He consulted his advisors on where to hide the gift. One suggested it should be buried deep within the ground. Braham didn`t like the idea: Mankind will one day dig deep enough to find it . Another advisor suggested to hide it in the deepest part of the ocean. Again Braham was not convinced: One day Mankind will be able to dive deep enough and find it . Yet another advisor suggested to hide it on the highest peak of the highest mountain Braham replied No, Mankind will eventually find ways to climb to the top and find it .

WOW, life is becoming easier by the day. The more I think about it, the more I talk about it, the easier it gets.
I just met this wonderful friend of mine with her beautiful son. She is also on the way to a more aware living so we had a very intense conversation about where we are in life. It really excits me to grow and to realise and to grow and to realise with other people.
I was born a helper What I mean by that is, that all through life I felt like I needed to help and solve other peoples problems (now that I think about it, how absolutely ridiculous is that). Anyhow, I guess that is my nature. But let me continue
