490. How to Shorten Karmic Experience
Happy Independence Day Heal Squad - the squad is at the beach and by the pool leaving us with you guessed it another ‘very special’ Lonely Guy Edition of BT. The only thing that can shorten the need for karmic experience. The one question that will guide, impact and change your life for the greatest. The real goal and true purpose behind self help and the work. The trait ALL human beings share but few acknowledge that if embraced could alleviate pain and toxicity. The thing you can do to help those you know and how doing this always comes when they need it most. The thing about holidays, the letter @thekelseymeyer wrote, the realization @poojanayyarr shared and the 2 movies you must see per @undergaro. To Lonely Guys, Gals and Others everywhere, Happy 4th of July. PS if you have a signature outro for Lonely Guy Editions by all means let us know. Till then, Aloha !
