Every doom and dream has a soul to thank
Every peace and paradise is the effort of another to build.

Member by member

Each of us have gotten to where we are 

It is in the head of another 

Dreams, visions, and thoughts came to pass 

It is in the ears of another 

Opportunities were established, found, and gotten

It is in the eyes of another 

We saw a road that wasn’t, toured, and got home 

It was in the nose of another 

We smelled virtue, season, and miracles 

It is from the mouth of another

We found our voice, were heard and earned favour 

It was on the shoulder of another 

We found our comfort and support 

It is from the heart of another

We lived and experienced love 

It is from the breasts of another 

We grew and found safe warmth 

It was with the hands of another 

Our destiny was planted, inscribed, flipped

It is in the belly of another 

We lived the flow of fluid faith 

It was on laps of another 

We had our dreams placed 

It was through and on the buttocks another 

We defecated and established our balance 

In was through the knees of another 

We had our supplications and apologies granted 

It was with the legs of another

We toured the way we did 

It was with the feet of another 

We traced the path and found our destinations 


II

It was through the food of another 

We made our bellies happy and nutrients our possession 

It was through the water of another 

We satisfied our throats, clothes, cars, plants, bodies 

It was through the music of another

We found threraphy, assurance, passion, and change

It was in the reality of another 

We lived in, found recognition, and learned to be we 

It was in the words of another 

We found how to speak, found our voices 

It was through the desire of another 

The moon and sun of our dreams carried us 

It was through the change of another 

We found our conversion and manifestations 

It was through the belief of another 

We knew God exists and leaped to heed and read His words

It was through the becoming of another 

We knew we could be and be better 

It was through the bricks of another 

We found shelter and rest

It was through the love of another 

We became all the good installed in us 

It was through the vibration of another 

We had our need, found magic, and were considered 

It was through the ambitions of another 

We had wealth open unto us 

It was in the other finding the way 

We found ours

How to Embrace Your Multidimensional Self and Unlock Your True Potential

Image
  Introduction Have you ever felt you do not belong to this planet or realm? Have you ever experienced memories, skills, or connections that transduce or transcend your physical dimension? Have you ever felt that you are more than just a human being?   If you answered “yes” to any or all of the questions above, you might be one of the oceans of people awakening to their multidimensional nature. This translates into the fact that you are not limited by time, space, or reality; you have access to multiple dimensions of existence; and you can tap into layered aspects of yourself. Photo Credit: AI Bing What Is Multidimensionalism?

Nature: The Greatest Teacher I've Ever Had

Image
Picture Credits: AI Bing The most profound lessons and their mastery extend beyond the boundaries of the classroom. The art of teaching begins with nature, which predates the existence of humans. When nature ceases to exist, humans will also meet their end. Fear never emerges alone; it thrives in packs, forming cliques that infiltrate every aspect of our lives. Fear is a powerful force that can infiltrate our lives and form cliques that dominate our thoughts.  For the longest time, I was plagued by fear, making it difficult for me to navigate the complexities of human existence, for my good to flow out for others. I sought solace in phobias, both real and imagined, creating a world where they became my companions. Some of these fears lingered, while others I continue to conquer to this day. Autophobia, the fear of being alone or isolated, haunted me relentlessly. It manifested through the departure of friends, attending somber requiem masses, and experiencing a sense of loneliness even
