QUESTION: Are you aware of your Essence?

STORY: The Essence of every human being (including you, me and everyone we know) is here now alive and well. The good news is that we do not need to create, invent nor do we need to purchase our Essence. We all are created by God (Universal Consciousness) and someday we all return to Source from whence we came. An ancient question comes up for everyone at some point in their life: Who am I? Am I just a physical being or am I a Spiritual Being? Well, to explore this question we must be willing to go on the sacred journey of 1) suffering as we observe our reactive, habitual, material, ego self - and 2) doing the WORK of letting go of our ego self - and 3) drawing out our True INNATE ESSENTIAL Self. Drawing is one way to become aware of our Essence. Learn more: https://www.learndesk.us/live/6612779379195904/drawing-as-a-sacred-activity-class
