I had a near-death experience many years ago that completely turned my life around. But honestly, it took me back to my original self who did have a higher consciousness. I just came that way. I got abused and ignored by my Very Bad ignorant parents. But I clung to it through music, playing the piano with intention, then later finding the “just right” therapist. My life has been hard for long periods of time, but I always found a way to recover. Walking is my one activity and happy-place that always brings me peace and a level of happiness I don’t get from anything else.
This article brought a return of inner peace. Thank you, Umair, for reminding me of that very young me who was gifted with higher consciousness.
