Flowering of Consciousness• The beauty of a flower,

although not linked to human survival, provides inspiration to humanity acting as a messenger from the formless

identified with the world of form• Physical• Our Thoughts• Our Emotions(This results in a total unawareness of our

connectedness with the whole, our intrinsic oneness with everyone else, as well as with the Source)

all the solutions• Thinking is only a tiny aspect
