Mythology of Creation

Creation is the root cause of everything that exists in this universe with the understanding that present, past and future tense of the word existence is implied.

We are a Collective Consciousness. Have You Agreed to Agree; or Have You Agreed to Disagree with this New Understanding?

By: Carolyn Page | 16/12/2009
During 2005, a new understanding was given to me by the collective consciousness (spirit).
