Qualities of the Supreme: The Big "S" Self

Big S Self - the physical world is like a frozen ocean of
consciousness. We are the waves, separate and distinct yet still a
part of the whole. Over the next month we will talk about three of
the qualities of divine conscousness...Shri, Swatantrya, and Satya.
Beauty, Freedom, and Truth. We want to warm the frozen ocean with our
practice to create space for the Shakti to flow through us and align
us more fully with the greater divine self.
