When we consider all connections as one, we can have a broader perspective on the changes that are happening in front of us. We are in a vast network woven by every life information, every thought in our minds, every choice in life, and every reflection on the current creative context in artistic creation will ripple in this sea of connections, spreading to the wider and endless depths of the stars.

  The unify of mind and matter is a long process of continuous reflective judgment on the path of wisdom, spirituality, and experience, interconnected and accomplished. No matter what situation you are in, do not be deprived of your autonomy by any collective. May you maintain your diamantine heart and shine on yourself, and go back to the source in anytime.
