Dave – Ala Mentis

“Every moment of time we are given the choice between light and dark, positive and negative, good and evil. A Warrior of Light learns to be wise enough to distinguish the difference and recognizing the choice, they choose Light, even though it is often the harder of the two.”

ESSENTIAL READING MATERIAL:

You Are Not Perfect the Way You Are

It takes a special kind of person to be brave enough to make this statement to the world, “You are not perfect the way you are.” In his first book, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon doesn’t just say this to the world as a critique, but rather he says this with deep compassion and faith that humanity can change and be better. He believes this so much that he wrote this book to share the keys and wisdom that will help people to Know Thyself by accepting the reality of their imperfection and taking the steps to progress toward true Joy.
