Once again, thank you so much for being my guide.

Yes, I understand that this is an opening and a fresh beginning. I do want to engage with a community of ‘like minds’.

I know what you did for me… what is the process for becoming a guide?

Love,

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
