something-for-the-thinkers-the-egg-by-andy-weir

You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”

“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”

“Yup,” I said.

“I… I died?”

“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”

“More or less,” I said.

“Are you god?” You asked.

“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”

“My kids… my wife,” you said.

“What about them?”

world-bank-insider-blows-whistle-on-corruption-federal-reserve

A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview withThe New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.

Doctors and researchers from MIT and Purdue announced they believe they’ve solved the mystery of America’s skyrocketing autism numbers. At the current rate of increase, half of all American kids will have autism by 2025. Speaking to a conference of autism experts and parents, Dr Stephanie Seneff explained that her data shows it’s not vaccines alone causing autism, but the mixture of Monsanto’s Roundup pesticide and the aluminum in vaccines causing the country’s autism epidemic.

18 Ways You’re Making Your Life Harder Than It Has To Be

18-ways-youre-making-your-life-harder-than-it-has-to-be

“Life is not complex.  We are complex.  Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing.”
―Oscar Wilde

When we were young life was easier, right?  I know sometimes it seems that way.  But the truth is life still is easy.  It always will be.  The only difference is we’re older, and the older we get, the harder we make things for ourselves.

You see, when we were young we saw the world through simple, hopeful eyes.  We knew what we wanted and we had no biases or concealed agendas.  We liked people who smiled.  We avoided people who frowned.  We ate when we were hungry, drank when we were thirsty, and slept when we were tired.

As we grew older our minds became gradually disillusioned by negative external influences.  At some point we began to hesitate and question our instincts.  Wh...

earthing-the-most-important-health-discovery-ever

Health is kind of trending right now in our culture.  People are becoming more concerned about what is in the foods they eat and the medications they take.  People go to great lengths to try to improve the health of their bodies, which is why health and wellness has become a multi-billion dollar industry.  We all want to be healthier individuals, especially when it takes very little effort to do so.  Scientists have recently discovered the amazing health benefits of “earthing”, and some are even calling it the most important health discovery in modern times.  It takes absolutely no effort, and it’s absolutely free.

So what is earthing?  “Earthing”, also known as grounding, simply means to physically reconnect with the earth. Walking barefoot, laying in the grass, and hugging a tree are all examples of earthing, and these practices have...

just-25-minutes-of-mindfulness-meditation-can-significantly-alleviate-stress

American scientists studied the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress levels and came to the conclusion that just three consecutive days of 25-minute meditation can significantly alleviate stress.

The technique of mindfulness meditation has helped many people to improve the overall state of their mind and body. However, until now, most studies have been mainly focused only on the therapeutic effects of the long-term meditation practice.

New research at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the first time demonstrates that brief sessions of mindfulness meditation can significantly  lower leve...

Shock Poll: Trust In Government Hits Record Low

Source: www.themindunleashed.org | Original Post Date: August 10, 2014

United States Capitol Building

In a record breaking low for the amount of trust that Americans place in the government, a new poll from CNN/ORC shows that only 13 percent now trust the government to do the right thing. This is the lowest number registered since polling began, even lower than directly after Nixon’s Watergate scandal when trust was at 36 percent.

The distrust is not isolated to one branch of government or to one of the corporate political parties, but shared between them all. The reasons for this drop in public opinion are likely tied to the middle class’ destruction since 2008, perpetual wars, banker bailouts, endless political scandals, unreprese...

6-reasons-to-juice-rather-than-smoke-cannabis

Juicing cannabis usually involves blending or pressing fresh plant material instead of buds that have been dried or aged. Some believe that raw cannabis should be treated as a dietary staple. Cannabis is one of the most versatile plants with few others matching its medicinal powers. Separating the myths from the facts still remains a challenge. Here are the top reasons to juice cannabis rather than smoke it.

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Cannabis – whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, wild, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin – is a vegetable with every dietary essential we can’t synthesize: Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids, Essential Cannabinoid acids and hundreds of anti-Cancer compounds. Juicing better allows the body to interact with cannabinoids through the gut, small intestine and ent...

The Effects Of Fluoride On The Pineal Gland

the-effects-of-fluoride-on-the-pineal-gland

In the 1990s, a British scientist, Jennifer Luke, discovered that fluoride accumulates to strikingly high levels in the pineal gland. (Luke 2001). The pineal gland is located between the two hemispheres of the brain and is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of the hormone melatonin. Melatonin maintains the body’s circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle), regulates the onset of puberty in females, and helps protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals.

While it is not yet known if fluoride accumulation affects pineal gland function, preliminary animal experiments found that fluoride reduced melatonin levels and shortened the time to puberty. (Luke, 1997). Based on this and other evidence, the National Research Council has stated that “fluoride is likely to cause de...

california-becomes-first-state-to-ban-plastic-bags

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Tuesday that makes California the first state in the nation to ban single-use plastic bags.

Many cities and counties in the state already have plastic bag bans in place, including San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles County. With Brown signing SB270 by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima, grocery stores and pharmacies statewide will phase out the use of plastic bags by July 2015. A year later, convenience stories and liquor stores can no longer distribute plastic bags.

“This bill is a step in the right direction – it reduc...
