Thanks for the message

This message is a powerful reminder of our dicotomy. It also encourages us not to stop trying when we fail. The presentation was great! It went to the my heart. I felt as though a close friend was speaking directly to me. Thanks Chana. I hope to hear more messages from you in the near future.

The Real Me

Dear Chana,

I found your message so calming to my mind and soul that it eased some pain in my body which had been, in part, brought on by some guilt about this very subject.

So often we think in black and white. I believe it is so important to hear that we are born with a dual nature and, yes, one does not negate the other.

It's just that sometimes, I know I should be pursuing more of the spiritual path than giving in to the "road more taken".

Thank you again for this late night piece of peace.
