The essence of healing is the transformation of unconsciousness into a higher consciousness. Our word reflects many illusions, and it is our responsibility to choose our perception. Be aware of falling into mass hypnotic programming. Saint Valentine originated it seems from the Catholic Church.

Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the middle ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England.
