Hi Hellboy, The pictures were very interesting. Your phrase 'little bit of Knowledge' inspired me to do a little further research. I came across this quote from Kahlil Gibrin (author of 'The Prophet'), which is pertinent for many of us. A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more...- CEMB

Chakras and spiritual alchemy
