We go through life choosing to believe in the good. We trust, we protect, we communicate, and we love. But there are constant reminders lurking about in our world that show us how little we may know; how much information is withheld from us from political powers who wish to control how we treat our bodies, our bank accounts, and our planet.

Marianne Williamson, a spiritual activist, said it best when she said, “Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.”

To be reminded that we are given so little information, and instead brainwashed into believing certain things, is disheartening, even angering, which is why when activists take a stand for global freedom, it is  important to acknowledge and praise them.

We all wish for our children to be healthy and free of disease. We wish the same for ourselves as adults, too. But it’s time to critically examine and have an open conversation about whether multiple vaccines in early childhood should be our nation’s No. 1 disease-prevention strategy.

In fact, such a conversation is long overdue. Many red flags have appeared that suggest vaccines not only have the potential for failure, but also for harm. There can be little doubt that we need to review the safety and effectiveness of the current vaccination program in the U.S.

If you’re not sure this is necessary, just consider some of the recent vaccine failures that have made headlines. The one-size-fits-all vaccination schedule in the U.S. is not safe for every child, and there comes a point when we may well be sacrificing too many children’s lives in the name of “the greater good.”

Everything that we put into our bodies has some effect on our consciousness and the functioning of our mind, from the air we breathe to the foods we eat to the liquids that we drink and everything in between. Even common foods like fruits, grains and vegetables have powerful effects on consciousness and the energies of the body and mind although few are sensitive enough to notice as it requires a deeper relationship and connection with oneself.

But with that being said there is a special class of herbs and foods that are generally stronger and more pronounced in their effects and have long-recorded histories as powerful influencers of consciousness, awareness and our physical and mental state. These herbs and foods are frequently classified as medicinal and, if they are strong enough, psychedelic in the great herbal and ancient medical traditions of the East and West. Although some of the latter may be quite extreme in their effects, that’s not to say they are any better than the mellower plants and foods, but simply different. Generally speaking, something consumed everyday over the course of a lifetime or a few months or years will have a more permanent effect on the body and mind than something consumed once in a blue moon.

Always remember; you are blessed!  Even in those moments of agitation, loneliness, solitude, togetherness or love.  Each lesson you learn from is an opportunity for you to become whole.  If you keep this in mind, even the most challenging event becomes graceful and easy. ~ Creator

Many in the Earth Realm do all they can to deaden emotions labeled as negative. However, we encourage you to embrace all emotions, for within them lies the clues to finding true happiness and joy. When you are sad, there will come a time when you will say, “Enough of this sadness, I am going to change my attitude and behaviors so I can experience happiness.” Thus, the sadness leads you to your desired goal of happiness.

At times, it feels good to express sorrow or pain, for within these emotions, you are connecting to others on a very deep level, which has love as a foundation. We suggest you pay attention to your emotions as they arise. Do they have a message for you to pay attention to? Are they a means to express your love for self or others?

Any emotion can be taken to the extreme, whether it is considered to be positive or negative. Balance is the key, for when one is centered, he remains in control. Whereas when one allows himself to remain in a state of extreme emotions such as grief or giddiness, he can easily lose control of his reality and become lost on a side path.

The Big “If”

The history of marijuana and hemp prohibition is a dark and shady story with all the makings of a diabolical thriller. In a dystopian world, shady oligarchs institute prohibition in order to benefit their institutions in the short term, leading to the inception of a police state in which sustainable agriculture is ridiculed, shamanic medicine is scorned, and generations are forced into punitive situations as a result of the plant’s contraband status.

Now, I don’t normally dwell in the “what-if’s” and rarely speculate about the “what-might-be’s” either; I think it’s more important to consider the “what-is”. But in fact, if we concentrate on the “what-is”, we can more easily ponder the “what-if” (our potential) and, importantly, more decisively define “what-will-be” (our future).
