Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.

Now administering third eye drops. Hello my fabulous friends Michael Philip here it is wonderful to hit you with ideas in the form of mouth

This is why the grass is always greener.

This is one of the reasons why the Buddha talked about inherent suffering

really stuck with me. It was the first thing that popped into my mind when I hit record and that phrase I'm going to pronounce

And he describes how one of the goals of all of his ceremonies

as a shaman is to make everything shine.

Because reality, no matter how you slice it, no matter how many injustices and issues are ping-ponging around within it, no matter how beige it may appear to you in your daily routine, reality is miraculous and absolutely remarkable.
