As Above
…. When your Earth Plane feels a strong sense of pull, setting in motion an enigmatic chase thru a maze of dimensional time… leading you to an intended chance encounter with your Higher Self… witnessing her give birth to your Light Self… inducing the epiphany that both are alive and well inside of you at this moment in time, sparking your Earth Plane Self to orgasm into enlightenment... As Above ...
Loosely based on the 2nd Law of the Universe; The Principle of Correspondence, “As Above” tells the story of The Earth Plane returning home from a late night out, to find herself intuitively drawn to a presence she can’t ignore. Alone, The Earth Plane follows her instincts through a twisty windy hallway looking to connect an alluring call to her. Tapping in, she finds herself face to face with her Higher Self where she witnesses the birth of her Light Self. Consumed with light while being transported thru higher dimensions of space and time… The Three Planes of Existence unite crescendoing The Earth Plane’s evening into a reflective revelation on the Universe’s dance floor!
