Humans Are Divine
by Jesse Armas
I don’t like conservative, boring, rule driven, exclusionary religion; and I also don’t like liberal, fake, flaky, woo woo spirituality. I am a normal person with a normal life, and I just want to help you get free of the bullsh*t that keeps you from living and loving to your fullest. The more you wake up to your divine self, the more free you will be of non-divine sh*t. You know... selfishness, anxiety, fear, loneliness, sadness, confusion, unfulfillment, etc. You CAN be free! I only hope I can help in some way. This is me attempting that. I hope you give it a listen.
