To connect we only need be our self but that is the real issue. We must know who the self is Notice how we all talk with ourselves and actually hold a conversation inside. These two voices exist and it is knowing the voice that speaks from beyond being merely human. Know the energy of creation itself and you know that all your atoms are 14 billion years old/ We are not a human, only by chemical reaction but not by mind
