“Deep within, there is something profoundly known, not consciously, but subconsciously. A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing.

It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspring’s of such a powerfully divine force.” (T. F.

Meaning lies in us.” (Marianne Williamson)
