The Secrets In Plain Sight!

We've spoken of the secrets of reaching out to The Divine in prayer and in ritual.  The next step is to speak of the nature of who it is that we're reaching out to!  And we are indeed talking about The Divine, regardless of the name, names or aspects you use in addressing The Divine. ...

We're going to be getting into some heavy stuff soon, but - no, wait we are indeeed already into some heavy stuff.  Between what we saw on prayer last week and what we explore about ritual today, we're seen what makes up the most powerful rituals ever done!  The difference is in the heart...
