  • "You may think you have forgotten painful things that happened a long time ago, but the "subconscious never forgets."

  • "He [Christ] speaks that in the portal of Iraq, is held an ancient wound of humanity. It is the wound of disconnection to one’s higher mind and the mind of God. He speaks that it is important for all beings to assist in the healing of this portal so this wound can be lifted from Earth and from all of humanity. This is a very old wound, he says, and has many layers of fear that lay over it. Each one of you have been lifting the veils of this wound through your prayers for world peace."
