Sharon Chayra, The Shaman’s Well Waking Times In a span of nearly half a century, I’ve said a number of goodbyes.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Waking Times Everyday in your sleep, nature provides you a tiny glimpse of death. Death is akin to sleep. Sleep provides you deep rest.

Mike Adams, Divinity Now Waking Times There’s a secret that’s much bigger than politics, health freedom, science or even the entire history of the human race. That secret remains entirely unacknowledged — even condemned — by the scientific community, and yet it is the single most important secret about everything that is. Yes, everything. That …
