Guru – Rupaul

“Naces desnudo y el resto es drag”.

Guru – Rupaul

Como alguien que ha deconstruido la hilarante fachada de la vida, RuPaul ha roto “la cuarta pared” para ampliar el concepto de mente, cuerpo y espíritu. Guru – Rupaul

Esta perspectiva única le ha permitido a RuPaul romper los grilletes de las limitaciones autoimpuestas, pero cuidado lector, esta es una práctica diaria que requiere diligencia y piedras de toque para mantenerte caminando bajo la luz del espíritu. Una vez que estés dispuesto a mirar más allá de la identidad que te fue dada, un mundo oculto de posibilidades te abrirá las puertas.

A lo largo de la historia de los humanos en este planeta, siempre ha habido chamanes, videntes y médiums que son capaces de interpretar frecuencias altas y bajas y recordar a los humanos que miren más allá de la superficie en busca de la verdad de quiénes somos realmente. Y lo que realmente somos es una extensión del poder que creó el universo (también conocido como Dios disfrazado).

FYI: la mayoría de las personas no están dispuestas a escuchar o aceptar eso. Ese es el secreto del éxito de RuPaul, no solo en el mundo del espectáculo, sino en todos los aspectos de la vida, especialmente en navegar las minas terrestres emocionales que inhiben a las almas más dulces y sensibles. Si crees que este libro se trata solo de “hacer drag”, estás muy equivocado porque para RuPaul, el drag es simplemente un dispositivo para desactivar el ego basado en la identidad y dejar espacio para lo ilimitado.
