(BONUS EPISODE) Time, Health, Wealth, Work, and Relationship Freedom: The Path of Liberation

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Time, Health, Wealth, Work, and Relationship Freedom: The Path of Liberation</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do you know that 99.99% of the world is run by the belief that if we could just change conditions, we could become safe, secure, significant and free?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It’s</span> a 180 <span style= "font-size: 12pt;">degrees opposite of what the great teachings taught. The fundamental teaching of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Quan Yin, Shankara were not about improving your human experience in order to be free.
