We buy into belief systems and belief systems become our reality. “Drugs are bad for you, and now that becomes my belief. My religion is the right one and yours is the wrong one, and now that becomes my belief”. Our beliefs become our reality in our minds. But is that the ultimate reality? Or is it someone else’s perspective that we bought into by someone we trusted such as our parents? We have been programmed to believe what is right and what is wrong and that is a very small minded view of how the universe works. This is what it means to become conscious. It is to know from an experiential level that our minds were hijacked by our environment and by those we trusted. And so a new life begins with a deeper understanding that we were all programmed to believe in what was passed down to us. Compassion arises for ourselves and all humans beings. The real work begins, the inner work, to start living from one’s heart and bring awareness to the truth that we are all one ❤️ 💫✨ 📸 my dad and I in Santos, Brasil 1980
