When I first decided to launch Lessons of Charity, I thought I was ready to share what I had gone through in the last couple of years. I wanted to share what I experienced and what I learned as a way to guide humanity towards something better.
I started making my editorial list of topics that I wanted to take on. I spent hours researching and reading to make sure whatever I wrote would have facts to back it up. I got out a couple of blogs and then… stopped.
Everything in this universe is made from some form of energy. Despite being able to physically see energy, we know it exists because we can physically see the effects of something being moved by energy or by picking up on a vibration or sound that energy can give off. We know humans possess energy because our bodies need it to make us move, eat, work, and even sleep right down to the molecular level.
But that isn't the kind of energy I am referring to.

It was widely respected and honored for all life until medieval civilization shifted into a religious order that sought to wipe out the traditional practices of energy healing, shamanism, and the connection to the unknown hence labeling it as supernatural, witchcraft, savagery, ungodly, and evil.

There are plenty of vaccines we don't have to get, but when it comes to viruses that could cause a worldwide pandemic… everyone who can should jump on that...
