Funny... my tutors have spent a whole year trying to beat the hell outa my FengShui poems, so I hardly equate them with peace at the moment!

Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
