Recently I started channeling messages from a Higher Consciousness. I don’t make them up; I literally hear the words in my head and I write them down. When I read them back I realize that there is no way I would have come up with...
If I offered you vanilla or chocolate ice cream, which would you choose? Would you prefer one over the other? And if you chose vanilla and I would give you chocolate instead, would you be upset? These seem trivial questions, and you may wonder what...
