    Ancient Roots of Modern Manifestation

    Best quote from Ancient Roots of Modern Manifestation

    “

    The universe is mental, and your imagination isn't separate from the creative force of the cosmos; once you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, the external world must rearrange itself to match that internal state.

    ”
