Here in this blog I am continuing with the following word that I have placed in the first blog I have written and wherein I have placed a list of words for a start that I do not really understand as whom I am in my relationship with these words. To see the list and that post, see the link here:

  1. Yes Larry; the human design has implemented and integrated the mind conciousness system and within this, we have separated ourselves from our own physical body and shifted into the mind and so, missing out the equality in and as the physical with and as all life. So lot's of work to do to stop, forgive and correct this separation in and as the mind. Animals are standing as support and example for us within this process.
