3 Extremely Important Points
To Transform Your Life beyond step 3
#1. God is Love, therefore, we are Love.
#2. We created our Ego, and it is not our true self.
#3. We did not create our True Self, we received it from God.

Four Limitless Qualities
Love, Joy, Compassion, Peace
6/25/25 As stated in my podcast, first give Love to those closest to you, then give it to friends, then to acquaintances, and finally to a person who hurt you. Then send these people Joy, Compassion, and Peace one at a time. Watch your connections grow swiftly as you become more grounded in Step 3.
