Battle of Ideas in Your Mind

Everything comes from one common informational field. We are all connected in one system, whether we are conscious of it or not. For the time being, we are in an unconscious state in relation to this system – as if sleeping. However, we are gradually awakening to the root causes of phenomenon such as this and, in fact, the roots of our entire existence.
