To make this Enlightenment-exposé easier to fully understand (and thereby simple enough to readily embody in your everyday lives), I have subdivided the human life into three possible “Zones of Being” – defining the first two of them as follows: Zone 1 … primal self-centeredness (being “evil” or blatantly selfish) This is the most primitive […]
