On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle one. Jonathan M.

En este momento eres un esclavo. Quizás crees que eres libre, pero eres un esclavo de tus memorias y tus programas, porque ellos te dicen qué es bueno y qué es malo, qué es correcto y qué es incorrecto. El intelecto rotula todo, pero no existe lo correcto o incorrecto. La mente cree que sabe, pero no sabe nada.
