Empathy – The Power of Connection

By Steve Taylor Ph.D

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

In recent years, the process of ‘restorative justice’ has been used more and more frequently as a way of dealing with crime. As a part of the process, offenders are brought face to face with the victims of their crimes, to hear how they have suffered as a result. The aim of this encounter is to bring healing, for both victim and offender. The victim transcends their rage with some understanding and forgiveness towards the offender, and the offender empathises with the victim, becoming aware of the real meaning of their crimes.

This process changes lives. Victims feel free of the weight of hatred and are able to move on; offenders have a wider sense of perspective, and are less likely to re-offend. Sometimes offenders don’t meet their specific victims, but just the victims of similar crimes. But this still leads to a new awareness, and new patterns of behaviour.

This highlights the amazing power of empathy.

DNA Activation for the Golden Age

By Indra

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

The coming of the golden age is prophesized in many cultures, and some important shifts are happening on Earth that are leading many to believe we are at the cusp of that new era; the evolution of human consciousness to a level never before conceived of.

In our purest form, we are consciousness; we are the light that experiences everything. The instrument through which we experience our light – the human body – is essentially created by sound, i.e. atoms vibrating on different frequencies. These vibrations proceed in all kinds, aspects, and densities of the matter that constitutes the Universe, from the finest elements to the coarsest.

Large solar filament erupts, produces partial halo CME

A large solar filament, which was stretching more than 857 780 km (533 000 miles) last week, finally erupted at approximately 09:25 UTC on February 21, 2015. 

As I feared, #solarstorm launch is huge filament that just rotated backside. STEREO A saw eruption of monster event! pic.twitter.com/ByRoXsMtZE

A partial halo CME (or sequence of CMEs) was later observed in SOHO LASCO coronagraph imagery emerging from the southwest. The filament erupted on the farside of the Sun, in the south central portion of the disk.

Space for Love: Day 173, Ben 4

SPACE FOR LOVE   If you want a high quality relationship involving true love and mature ways to resolve issues, you will need to create this space within yourself first. Relationships generally fall apart because initially one or both partners were not being authentic when they first met. Both put on their best behavior, acting out roles they thought would attract the other person. Eventually, the role becomes a heavy burden and each begins to revert to their old habits.

If these habits are not within the parameters each has set as acceptable, then friction results. At one point, the chasm between their authentic selves becomes too wide and the couples part. How much better would it be to find your authentic self and enter all relationships fully in your integrity?

In the Presence of Today

Today is put before you as a blessing. This is to be a bless-ed day. Feel sprightly, and you will make this day sprightly as well. There is fate, yes. At the same time, you are the maker of your fate in the Presence of Today.

How do you make it so you feel sprightly? By not feeling glum or fearful. What horse do you bet on to win the race? One that is pulling a plow or one without baggage to carry, one who rushes to what is ahead or one who keeps turning around to look back to see how far he has come? One who keeps questioning or one who moves right along?

You have no question about which horse you would bet on. No question at all. Yet, when it comes to life, you hem and haw. You say, “What shall I do? Think about yesterday or move on to today? Or should I think of tomorrow and run away from today as much as I possibly can? Maybe I should just quit anyway. Life has disappointed me too often. In the long run, nothing is going to change, or all change is out of my hands.”

You are the one who has to change. When you feel forlorn, you don’t have to pretend your forlornness away. You just have to put it to one side. If you can stop feeling forlorn altogether, great! If you can’t, just put forlornness somewhere where it will not trip you up. You do not have to cling to past thoughts. You have a million thoughts. Certainly you can put some thoughts aside and put fresh thoughts in their place.

Down the ages that's what man has been doing: decorating his prison cell. You have really made it beautiful inside; it almost looks as if it is a temple. You have painted your chains beautifully. You have covered your chains with gold and silver; they look like ornaments. Hence you go on cooperating.

And freedom is the basic requirement if you want to know God, if you want to know at all what this life is and what the benediction of this life is and what the beauty of this existence is. If you want to know it at all you will have to come out of your prison. You will have to risk. Because the prison seems comfortable and you have lived in it so long, you have become accustomed to it. You will have to come into the open, under the sun and the moon and the sky. You will have to come into the wind. You may have lived so long in the cage that you may be afraid to open your wings again.

You may have completely forgotten that you have wings. This is the situation where man exists. But before We Can make a breakthrough out of the prison walls, we will have to understand how the prison is made, what the strategy is, of what it consists.

The most fundamental strategy is that the priests and the politicians and the pundits have been substituting every real thing with something unreal. That is the most fundamental strategy of how this prison, this slavery, has been created.

Two Bills To Legalize Marijuana Nation-Wide Have Been Introduced In Congress

On Friday, February 20th, Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) and Jared Polis (D-Colorado) introduced two separate bills in Congress that would legalize marijuana use at the federal level for adults.

Blumenauer’s bill, called the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act, would tax cannabis at the federal level in addition to any local and state taxes. Polis’ bill, also called the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol act for some reason, would allow states to choose to legalize cannabis without any fear of federal intervention.

Both of the representatives hail from states that have already fully legalized marijuana use for adults 21 and up. So far, four states have already legalized it and 23 states have medical marijuana laws on the books.

“More than 213 million people live in a state or jurisdiction that allows some form of legal use of marijuana,”...

Rekindling the Soul Flame

by Mara Freeman, M.A.

Early spring is the season of Brigid, the Celtic goddess of the Growing Light who walks the land thawing the ice and warming the cold Earth into life with every step she takes. She was also a goddess of inspiration and creativity who breathes her warmth and energy into the hearts and minds of all those who wish to give birth to something new and wonderful in their lives. In later times she became Saint Brigid, the most beloved of Irish saints.

This was the time of year when the Celtic peoples of Scotland and Ireland looked eagerly for hibernating animals to emerge from their winter dens – a sign that winter was almost over. In Scotland this might be a badger, a hedgehog or even a bear. In an old Scottish tradition, Bridget herself emerges from the Earth in early spring, just as in the Greek myth, the goddess Persephone came out of the underworld and spring returned once more. In ancient Greece this drama was enacted in the Eleusinian mysteries at this time of year.

Feeding the Fear

Jane Chitty, Prevent Disease
Waking Times

I saw a poster the other day, proclaiming “Please Do Not Feed The Fears” with a play on “Fears” rather than “Bears”. The sentiment expressed is unfortunately so typical of everything that is wrong with the media and those in authority today. It may not be a completely new concept — instilling fear into people — but it has certainly become much worse.

In the past few years alone, various fearful viruses have gripped global populations to such an extent that some would not travel or were reduced to wearing face masks. SARS, H1N1 flu, swine flu, ebola and now the latest measles outbreak have all been exploited to the full in an effort to make us fearful. And of course cancer has been high on the list for many decades.

Unusual comet skirting past the Sun

An unusual comet named SOHO-2875 is skirting past the Sun since February 18, 2015 and is still visible on LASCO C3 imagery.

At first it appeared to be a small object about to be disintegrated by the Sun's heat, but surprisingly it emerged intact and is now brightening as it recedes from the Sun. 

Although most comets SOHO sees belong to the Kreutz family of comets (fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet many centuries ago), SOHO-2875 is not one of them.

"It's a 'non-group comet,' meaning that it does not appear to be related to any other comet or comet family that we have on record," explains Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab.

SOHO-2875 at first appears as a faint dot in the upper right, then eventually swoops just under the Sun. Towards the end of the video, as the comet begins to sport a tail, the Sun bursts out with a Coronal Mass Ejection to add something more to the scene.

How to Understand the Difference Between Soul, Spirit and Higher Self

HJ: Terms like soul, spirit and higher self are often used in an interchangeable and confusing way, but there is definitely a hierarchy and system to it all, which spiritual teacher Michael Roads explains in this fascinating, slightly esoteric article on the makeup of your consciousness.

The Difference Between Soul, Spirit and Higher Self

By Michael Roads | Wake Up World

January2015horoscope

You and I are souls clothed in both a physical body and identity. It is soul that is supposed to incarnate from one so-called lifetime to another, but the words we use to describe this tend to create a false picture. The suggested image is that we die, then through rebirth we incarnate onto Earth once again. In other words, the image is birth, death ...

Daily Message ~ Saturday February 21, 2015

As you continue to march forward on your enlightenment journey, you will begin to notice that any decision you make that does not honour who you are, or involves giving your power away, is absolutely not supported. In record time, you will find it coming back up for you to review in your soul’s desire to move beyond those old habits once and for all.

How wonderful that you will so quickly find yourselves too uncomfortable to stay in energies that are not for your highest good! Before you know it, you will be making all of your choices mindfully and not needing for things to loop around for review, at all.

This is real progress, Dear Ones! You are learning and experiencing at a faster rate than ever before, and it is exhilarating for us to see you so brilliantly keeping pace with the energies that are flooding your planet. ~Archangel Gabriel

Cannabis, Consciousness and Common Sense

Cannabis, Spirituality and Sensibility

By Wes Annac
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Almost everyone (arguably) has used cannabis recreationally at one time or another. Most people see it as little more than a natural substance that can cause a temporary euphoria and yet, in some people’s opinions, it is a drug that creates laziness and a depleted drive to contribute to society with any degree of intelligence. This opinion is often based on stereotype rather than experience.

Our governments have used stereotypes to keep us from considering that cannabis can be used sensibly or for a deeper purpose. A lot of people believe it has a wealth of spiritual uses that can help us tear down our mind-driven barriers and raise our spiritual vibration – as long as our purpose and intention in using it is clearly aligned to finding a higher vibration.
