Colorado Sold Over $1.1 Billion In Cannabis Last Year — Money That Didn’t Go To Drug Cartels

by Alanna Ketler, Collective Evolution

Since legalizing cannabis across the entire state, Colorado has seen some amazing profits. In 2016, the first state to legalize marijuana for medical as well as recreational use has sold nearly $1.1 billion worth of cannabis and related products. Wow.

Think about all that money that didn’t go to drug cartels and other various illegal dealers. And what about the tax? That is a lot of tax on $1 billion!

How Much Money Was Made From Taxes?

Colorado has three different kinds of taxes on its recreational cannabis sales: the standard 2.9% state tax, a 10% sales tax, and a 15% excise tax on wholesale transfers. In October alone, $6 billion was collected in excise tax off of a staggering $82.8 million in sales, bringing the yearly tax total to $49.7 million, well above the $40 million mark – a major point of discussion during the 2012’s Amendment 64 campaign.

Venus Is Now Retrograde: A Time To Reflect On Our Relationships and Values

by Carmen Di Luccio, Collective Evolution

Venus is retrograde from March 4th until April 15th. It has been building up since January 30th, when Venus entered what is called the “pre-shadow” period. When a planet goes retrograde, our perspective here on Earth makes it appear to be going backwards in the sky.

Unlike Mercury Retrograde, Venus Retrogrades occur less frequently, every 19 months, but they last about twice as long. Although both retrogrades have some similarities in regards to how they might affect your social life, Venus still presents a much different vibe.

Retrogrades are a time to revisit, reflect on, and make adjustments to things represented by that planet. Venus rules over love, intimate relationships, friendships, values, money, beauty, and overall attractability. It is associated with our passions, creativity, pleasures, and tastes.

British University Bans "Politically Incorrect" Words Including Mankind, Man-Made, and Housewife

by Whitney Webb, True Activist

In an effort to be more politically correct, Cardiff Metropolitan University has banned its professors and lecturers from using a list of common words such as waitress, fireman, manpower, and mankind.

With many universities throughout the West attempting to create a more inclusive environment for some of its members, some institutions of higher learning have decided to take such gestures to the extreme. In a crack-down on “gendered language,” Cardiff Metropolitan University has decided to ban lecturers and professors from using numerous common phrases including mankind, man-made, and housewife among numerous others. The university said that these terms should be replaced with “politically correct” words that would “promote an atmosphere in which all students and staff feel valued.”

Paying Attention To The Perspective Of Others Is The Best Way To Read Them

by Josh Richardson, PreventDisease.com

We tend to believe that people telegraph how they're feeling through facial expressions and body language and we only need to watch them to know what they're experiencing -- but new research shows we'd get a much better idea if we put ourselves in their shoes instead. The findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

All our perspectives help us define our truths. Within this perspective, what is true works for the situation at hand and it is what allows us to assess all our experiences. When we realize that all truths are true, we no longer have a need to be right. So what happens when we consider the perspective of others?

"People expected that they could infer another's emotions by watching him or her, when in fact they were more accurate when they were actually in the same situation as the other person. And this bias persisted even after our participants gained firsthand experience with both strategies," explain study authors Haotian Zhou (Shanghai Tech University) and Nicholas Epley (University of Chicago).

Farmer Makes His Own Diesel Using Plastic Waste - TruthTheory

By Jess Murray Truth Theory

A farmer in South Africa has utilised old plastic by turning it into cheap diesel. Meinhard Peters, a beef and dairy farmer from Gauteng, works at a farm with his father, Freddie, and is also a qualified fitter. He has recently begun combining his skills and devised a way to combat the high cost of fuel that is necessary for him to run the farm efficiently. He said, “I know plastic is made from petroleum, therefore it must be possible to extract petroleum from plastic.”

The intensive farm that the father and son operate is around 200 hectares in size, and is currently breeding a new breed of dairy cow which allows them to additionally produce yoghurt. Meinhard found that he was constantly left with old bits of plastic, including decommissioned irrigation pipes, shopping bags, containers that agricultural products were purchased in, bailing string and fertiliser bags, all of which he had no further use for on the farm.

Humanity’s awakening involves addressing and releasing all its core issues.

Here in the spiritual realms we are all on high alert as the moment of humanity’s collective awakening draws closer.  As you are well aware there is only the eternal now moment, even though you experience ongoing and sometimes seemingly endless linear time – time with no end in sight – but even for you in your human form there will be an end to time as you enter into full awareness of the Reality of the ever-present now moment.

You are far more than your physical bodies, but to experience separation as fully as possible you closed off from your human awareness the vastness of your being, of your eternal and unbreakable Oneness with Source.  Intellectually you can accept the truth of this but because of the all-pervasive sense of human physicality that your bodies provide your knowingness of this remains inaccessible because to know it would bring into you the full power of Love, and your bodies were only built to accept and work with severely restricted energy flows.  Therefore your bodies would burn up, disintegrate, or dissolve instantly if your full energy field attempted to enter them.

Enjoy the Sun That Shines

God said:

Sometimes you have to bend. Sometimes you have to stretch. Sometimes bending low and stretching high are one and the same.

Sometimes you may feel that Life in the World is too much for you and that you can't take much more of it. You may say at one time or another that you cannot possibly take on one more blow. The Truth of the Matter is that you can. The Truth of the Matter is that you have, and you will forever more accommodate Life as it reaches you. This is a given.

You are definitely stretchable. You have no limits. None. You are an unlimited Being. That you have received a blow, or received several blows all at once, is an interpretation you make. Your interpretation makes all the difference in the world. If you didn't judge your Life, what might your Life be then? Your interpretations are your justification. Pretty much justifications are excuses for how you feel. It is too easy to blame Life as if Life were an outer experience.

Sure, things happen in Life that you would wish did not, yet you are responsible for your outlook.

Of course, your emotions do not have a spigot that you can turn on and off just like that. At the same time, when you are angry, for whatever reason, or for no reason, you chose anger.

Daily Message ~ Monday March 6, 2017

One of the ways human beings hold themselves back the most is by assuming they are wrong, broken, or in some other state that is completely unsatisfactory. This is self judgment, which immediately throws you into a state of resistance to yourself.

Just as a child has growth pains as their bodies continue to expand and evolve, there will be times in your own growth and evolutionary process that may feel uncomfortable as your body is integrating energetic change.

This is a normal part of the process. If you start to berate and judge yourself as being wrong and add your own resistance to self to the mix, you will only be adding to your own discomfort and exacerbating your symptoms.

It amounts to self abuse, which is so contrary to the beautiful process of ascension you are going through – a process so sacred, divine, and beautiful it is a great honour to be on the planet experiencing it as it is something you have worked towards for millennia.

Dear Ones, we urge you to be kind and gentle with yourselves. Celebrate the wonder that is you! See your symptoms as proof that the shift is happening. Love and nurture yourself through the process and you will find it so much more enjoyable.

As you continue to move forward through the shift you will find that acceptance is a vital key to all aspects of your enlightenment process, so why not start experiencing the ease, comfort, and healing it has to offer you today? ~Archangel Gabriel

This is one of the fundamentals of life:

If you hate, you punish yourself. If you are angry you punish yourself.

If you are loving, you reward yourself. If you are happy, you create possibilities for more happiness.

They have a saying that money attracts money. It is true. It is true on other levels of life too.

Happiness attracts happiness.

Lovingness attracts more love.

Blissfulness attracts more bliss.

This Company Just Made A 3D-Printed Home In 24 Hours For $10K

by Amanda Froelich, True Activist

There’s no doubt about it, this technology is a game-changer.

The housing industry is about to be revolutionized. This is because the company Apis Cor recently made a 400 square ft. (or 37 square meter) 3D-printed home in just 24 hours. And, believe it or not, the structure cost less than $11,000 to build.

The company, which has specialists based in Russia and San Francisco, claims to have completed the entire home in just one day – including the painting, as a mobile printer was on site in Russia.

ZeroHedge reports that the main components of the house, including the walls, partitions, and building envelopes are made of a concrete mixture. The windows and furnishings were later added on, as was a shiny coat of paint on the exterior of the house.

Whereas most houses take months to construct, this home was built in just one day. And, it cost an affordable $10,134 to build.

If you have a desire for great change begin within, for you are the only one you have full and total sovereignty over. It is from the internal shifts you make that you create ripples across the universe that act like grand magnetizers, shifting your external experiences to match the change within. Focusing within allows you to be much more efficient with the use of your energy by working with the only aspect you have the power to create true and lasting change for, and that, Dear Ones, is you. ~Archangel Gabriel

Two Studies Conclude 347 Native Bee Species Are Headed For Extinction

by Jessica Murray, True Activist

A recent analysis has revealed that 347 bee species that are native to North America and Hawaii are “spiraling towards extinction”, according to reports. A total of 700 bee species are currently facing major threats, which include an increase in pesticide use, together with severe habitat loss. In “Pollinators in Peril: A systematic status review of North American and Hawaiian native bees,” the Center for Biological Diversity studied a total of 4,337 native species in order to assess how the vital pollinators are enduring worsening, multi-fronted threats. Kelsey Kopec, pollinator researcher at the Center for Biological Diversity and author of the study, told EcoWatch,

Darkness & Unconditional Love

The dark things, the scary things, the things that slither and slide just outside the edge of your light are there for a reason.  Being curious and attracted to it brings them there.  However, you have the advantage, dear one.  You know why they have come calling and you know what do to with them.  For each one you see, direct all the Unconditional Love you can muster in its direction, then watch the transformation.  How quickly they change depends solely on how much Love you choose to expend.  The only thing to need to release is the ‘fear’ of the endless and infinite well of Love at your disposal. ~ Creator
