Warriors To The Helm! Sailing Into The Wind of Awakening

By Zen Gardner
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

Is anyone else having a hard time going through what often appears to be the same old news? Is it just me, or are we seeing a change of attitude and consciousness manifesting in lieu of this incessant and increasing barrage of repetitive headlines?

An interesting question.

This does seem to happen to myself periodically but it continues to take on an almost sneaky, changing nature. While I get weary of it at times, on the other hand the vibrations of this massive awakening continue to arouse and inspire which brings everything into play with renewed interest and passion.

I have to say, this morphing enigma called change of consciousness continues to confound and amaze me.

Metaphysics: Opening The Flow

By Montalk
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Have you ever been under distressing financial circumstances, expecting to fall into an abyss of poverty with the next emergency expense? How many times have you suffered the worst of your expectations? How many times did help come from unexpected places to get you through despite the worst of odds?

Our expectations come from what we have been programmed to expect. What actually happens depends on the laws of reality deciding the nature of our experiences. Those who pay attention will see that what actually happens is most often at odds with what is expected. Why do our plans and anticipations about the future rarely happen the way we envision them? Why are our programmed expectations so different from our actual experiences?

Public Lands Slated for Deforestation and Monsanto Herbicide Spray Ignites Community Outcry

By Carolanne Wright
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

In a move that defies logic by authorities in the field, an area in Northern California, United States, has received federal funding to implement an “ environmentally catastrophic plan to eradicate Eucalyptus, Monterey Pine, and Acacia forests on the public lands and parks of the East Bay.” Beginning in August 2015, up to 400,000 trees will be clear-cut in the park district and the remaining stumps sprayed with toxic herbicides by Dow and Monsanto. The ultimate goal is to eliminate forests and transform the spaces into “grassland with islands of shrubs” in an attempt to reduce fire hazard. However, those who have experience with wildfire mitigation have come forward denouncing the plan, stating that fire risk will dramatically increase if officials continue down this destructive path.

The Six Million Dollar Bid to Destroy Natural Habitat

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is funding the proposal. In total, 105 distinct locations will be included, with over 2,000 acres of public land cleared — all of which fall under the management of the City of Oakland, UC Berkeley and the East Bay Regional Parks District.

Victim Mentality? Empowerment Through Self-Awareness

By Dee Bernstein
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

For the first half of my life I was a master manipulator, a weaver of grand stories, a long distance runner and avoider of truths and responsibilities, and a victim of the highest order.

It can be very difficult for a person to admit to themselves that they have a victim mentality; facing this fact means you have to admit you are rather accustomed to feeling self pity, as well as placing blame outside of yourself regularly. These are hard admissions to make, let alone try to understand. Yet every person I’ve met who has made this leap from victim to self-aware has benefited in so many ways, and has ultimately become a happier and more balanced person.

Victims are not born, they are made; it is usually through upbringing that a person becomes a victim. When a person is taught by those around them that they have no power, and learn by example of their parents and care givers that life is unfair and it isn’t their fault, it is simply a matter of transferring those feelings of victimization to young people.

The Critical Thinking Trap: How the “Conspiracy Theory” Label Undermines the Truth

By Katherine Smith Ph.D
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Conspiracy Theories: The Public Trust Skepticism Factor

“Conspiracy” is a real word for a real events that have taken place in human societies in all cultures throughout human history. [see Appendix A]

The assassination of the President of the United States on national television by a “lone” assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, who himself is assassinated the next day by another “lone” assassin—would cause even the most rational skeptic, or critical thinker, to question the institutional narrative of the events. [1] In other words, the institutional narrative, or official explanation, of a lone assassin who was in turn assassinated the very next day by another lone assassin, is as epistemically dubious, and as equally “silly and without merit”, as any of the conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination.

Vocation and Seeking Truth – The Challenge of Making a Living While Exposing and Transcending the Matrix

By Bernhard Guenther
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Over the last several years, many people have contacted me with regards to my articles and the films and interviews I’ve been involved in, and oftentimes ask for any insight and guidance I can provide in relation to their personal struggles. Among the many questions people ask me, this one stands out for me as very pertinent to the times we all find ourselves in:

“Hello Bernhard, I have been watching your many posts for several month and share most of your views. As I am about to complete the first of many trainings in bodywork (perhaps the first most rewarding work I ever done for pay) I was wondering if your choice to speak your truth on Facebook has impacted negatively your ability to earn a living in bodywork, or perhaps (hopefully) assisted you in finding like-minded clients?”

New Study Shows Regular Contact with Nature Reduces Crime, Increases Social Cohesion

By Christina Lavers
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

“We need the tonic of wildness… At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

The last few hundred years have seen a major shift in man’s relationship with nature. The trend has been a move away from the wild, organic, natural world towards artificial, digital, synthetic, controlled urban environments. With the advent of science during the Age of Enlightenment, man began to grasp that nature operated according to laws that through scientific investigation could be understood, and ultimately controlled and used for the benefit of humanity. The more we were able to explain, the less we perceived nature as a magical, awe-inspiring force that we were an inextricable part of. Humanity began to see itself as superior to nature, and thus a slow disconnection was set in motion — a disconnection that we are gradually beginning to understand has done us a lot more harm than good.

Love Waves In Our Hologram

By Melissa Joy Jonsson
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

The greatest illusion in this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. — Guru Pathik

Often our individual and collective experiences are a result of fields with which we are knowingly or unknowingly in resonance through the hologram of consciousness. Change a field resonance in the hologram, and everything can change.

Although an understanding of science is not necessary for practical application and experience of the Fields, a general synopsis of principles relating to the science of consciousness and the possible nature of reality is provided here to support empowered interactive reality creation. However one does not need to understand the science to experience the power, love, and grace of the Fields. In fact, experience is a form of understanding. Embodied experience ignites curiosity that propels movement in our awareness. The moment we think we completely understand or know anything, we limit what we might discover. The moment we immerse ourselves in experience, we create references and distinctions for ourselves as placeholders in our personal maps of reality.

By Carolanne Wright
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

It is scary how many similarities there are between this [pharmaceutical] industry and the mob.” ~ former Vice-President of Pfizer pharmaceuticals.

The U.S. federal government has released disturbing data about the profiteering nature behind our medical system. Namely, a staggering 4.4 million payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals by medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

According to officials from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), during the last five months of 2013, big pharma and medical companies paid a total of $3.5 billion in kickbacks to 546,000 physicians and 1,360 teaching hospitals.
