In the visible world of nature, a great truth is concealed in plain sight: diminish meant and beauty, darkness and light, death and life are not opposites. They are held together in the paradox of “hidden wholeness”.
This is another one of those woo woo past lives books, so I don‘t have much to say about it that can‘t be found in another Michael Newton style book. I do find the whole topic rather fascinating. I think it‘s one of few theories or phenomena that adequately address why you are you right now having this experience and not someone else in a different body having a different experience in a different time and place. For me, it‘s a central mystery.

Here‘s another journaling thing I looked up. I wanted to know if there were Afternoon Pages like there are Morning and Night Pages. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages and Night Pages before and the last 2 days, I tried Morning Pages because I had to get up early. I‘ve never tried guided journaling before. I‘ve done Afternoon Pages before and I feel like that works for me because I don‘t get up early. If I don‘t do it at noon then I can do it at night.
This morning, I did some upside drawing with this picture turned upside down. I tried to draw it just by looking at it. All I know how to draw is stick figures. I don‘t know if I like how my drawing turned out or not. Maybe I should do more upside down drawing. After that, I did Morning Pages. I‘ve never done this before. I‘ve only been doing Night Pages before bed along with a book I‘m currently reading.

In 2013, my mom recommend me to read this book after I finish reading Fifty Shades of Grey. What an incredible book and many years ago, my mom told me that she met the author of this book.
