One of the greatest obstacles each of us in this world if we wish to awaken to our true Spiritual Selves is the belief in separation. That belief not only leads to fears but is the root cause of all fears.<\/p>\n<p>Sometime back in 1996, I had an experience that brought this point to the forefront of my consciousness and challenged me to re-access what I believed was even possible.<\/p>\n<p>Today I recognize I have come into this world to participate in the grand awakening that is now happening.<\/p>\n<p>Buddha once spoke of Being Awake. Christ spoke of there being different ways of seeing. For anyone who wishes to challenge themselves as to what is possible or not possible, I invite you to watch a short clip attesting to the most incredible experience I have had in this physical world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/2011\/08\/30\/episode-3-bugs-2\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/prophetormadman\/2011\/08\/30\/episode<\/a><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
