Why are audio-testimonials preferred at Making Sanctuary rather than written formats? The main reason is to convey authenticity, then the texture and relatability conveyed through the visceral quality of a voice that can show a mood, a sincerity, an excitement that text cannot. Authenticity of text on the internet can easily be fake and while I would never do this, would anyone? Yes, someone somewhere does and has and might exaggerate and the visitors coming to Making Sanctuary might also have a healthy skepticism or a cynical skepticism on the topic of awareness and meditation, and either way, and it only helps to reassure visitors that this is real, not fake or false or fraudulent as that would be a waste of time and life is too short and precious for such shenanigans. If you are going to embark on awareness with me, it is best to have as much curiosity and openness and humor as possible to feed success in your own personal experience.
