Divining the gold within: gratitude as the way
The talk begins outdoors among birds and nature, and moves straight to clarity: the world without rises from the reality within. Divining is reclaimed from prediction and made practical—feel gratitude now, and you divine the gold of divine love.
'Nothing can happen to you externally that is not determined by the state or condition within you.'
'You can either quit a situation or you can surrender… you can do change until it's time.'
