Everything You Need To Know About Overcoming Self-Pity In 3 Minutes

By ALETHEIA LUNA | Loner Wolf

Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality. ~John W. Gardner

In my last article I explored the psychology of self-pity. In this article, we’ll delve into 13 of the best ways to nip your moping in the bud.

Just to recap, self-pity is defined by:

  • An inability to accept a situation or circumstance in your life.
  • Cogitating over your issues and troubles constantly.
  • Dejectedness, gloominess and depression.
  • The feeling that you’re a victim of something or someone (e.g. the “persecution complex”).
  • The unexpressed thirst for the sympathy and affection of others.

Comcast Killed The Ed Show For Talking About TPP

When it comes to coverage of the Trans Pacific Partnership, no one in the corporate media covered the issue more than Ed Schultz on MSNBC’s The Ed Show. When it was announced last week that they were pulling the plug on his program, they effectively killed the only national voice that was talking about the disaster of a trade deal on cable news.

According to Media Matters, between August 1, 2013, and January 31, 2015, Ed Schultz covered the TPP on 71 different segments, not including the time he brought up the issue during the network’s coverage of the State of the Union Address in 2015. The only other host who mentioned the TPP during this same time period was Chris Hayes, who only mentioned it one time in passing on his show. The rest of the network’s personalities remained completely silent on the issue during this 18-month period.

Over 160 Studies Prove Meditation Heals the Body

Excessive worry can interfere with sleep and inhibit your ability to perform daily tasks and activities. Find out what you can do to minimize your fears.

Fear is a negative emotion, unless you’re facing an actual threat and need to fight or flee. And the usefulness of fear is minimal in daily life, particularly in the form of anxiety. Stressful events can produce short-term anxiety in almost everyone, which disappears after the event. But for an estimated 6.8 million Americans with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), anxiety is a chronic condition they can’t shut off. All of us know people we accept as “born worriers,” but their reality is much more debilitating than that title describes. Being in a state of chronic anxiety can severely limit their daily activity.

You probably know already if you worry excessively. In fact, if you have chronic anxiety, even the smallest thing can trigger it. You find yourself with fearful thoughts about finances, family, your health, and what’s happening at work. Some days you’d rather hide under the covers.

Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media

The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda.

A Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world.

The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet. Critics are likely to complain that it will allow the US military to create a false consensus in online conversations, crowd out unwelcome opinions and smother commentaries or reports that do not correspond with its own objectives.

Day 77: Uncovering Belief Codes

UNCOVERING BELIEF CODES  “Many belief codes are set up as a form of protection or a reaction to unpleasant events. They may not be relevant to your life today. When these buttons are pushed by others, it sometimes leads to confusion. You wonder to yourself, why did that bother me so much? Pay attention to these thoughts. When they arise, take time to go within and try to find when this feeling first started. You may need to uncover layers of codes and negative thinking as you go. Look at the belief codes you created created as a child in a more mature manner.

Start weeding out the things you say and do that no longer fit into your paradigm. Step out of your box and start creating a unique blend of shapes and colors that better matches your individual self. As more of you awaken to your potential, you will support each other in creating your own realities. This is what life is all about: discovery, potential and joy. As you support each other and recognize the rules you created, you will leave behind social norms that kept you separate.

Micro-Algae: The Next Generation of Green Superfoods for Thriving in Toxic Times

By Marc Gimbrere and Zhara Mahlstedt
Guest Writers for Wake Up World

The global food supply is heavily tainted. Even hothouse organics don’t ensure sufficient nutrition, due to the loss of nutrients in our soil and pollutants from our air, rain and water supplies. On top of this, we must consider the daily overload from toxic pesticides, geoengineering particulates, GMO toxins and other pollutants.

So how can we provide our bodies with the nutrition our cells require, while supporting our body’s natural detox processes at the same time?

A scientific development by Dr. Michael Kiriac (Ph.D, ND) from The Moldova Academy of Sciences may offer a solution in the form of four different naturally occurring micro-algae.

Meditation as a Self-Healing Tool

By Lissa Rankin MD
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

The body is equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that can be flipped on or off with thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that originate in the mind. This is great news, because it means, in essence, that you can heal yourself. But how?

One of the many simple ways you can flip on your body’s self-repair mechanisms is via meditation.

What Does It Mean To Meditate?

Dictionary.com defines meditation as “continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation,” but I prefer Harvard professor Dr. Herbert Benson’s definition. He defines it as “Repetition of a word, sound, phrase, prayer, or muscular activity while passively disregarding everyday thoughts that inevitably come to mind and returning to your repetition.” With this definition of meditation, anything can be a meditation – not just sitting with your eyes closed in the lotus position, but walking, making art, cooking, shopping, dancing, driving… whatever.

Daily Message ~ Wednesday August 5, 2015

Acceptance is such a vital tool in your enlightenment process. It is through acceptance that you see the divinity in all that occurs. Acceptance allows you to demonstrate your complete faith in the universe. When you are accepting, you are effortlessly aligned with the flow of abundance, ready to move and receive whenever the timing is perfect. But more than anything else, acceptance brings peace with yourself, and with others. You will save yourself much discomfort, indeed, if you start to utilize the power of acceptance to create profound and lasting change in your life. ~Archangel Gabriel

The Past Meets the Present

God said:

No matter how many years ago in Earth time, you may find yourself yearning for parts of your life’s past with all your heart. Alternately, there are other parts of your life that you would undo from the face of the Earth if you could. To make such choices would not be so simple as you may think it is.

Sure, you would keep the nice and exclude the hurtful, yet, in terms of life on Earth, who would you be then? You couldn’t be you. You would be someone else. Who would you be if you weren’t who you turned out to be because of the accumulation of so many others in your life and the century you live in?

If you snipped out one part of your life, how would your life survive such surgery? If you stopped the death of your beloveds for your own sake, what might that mean for your loved ones? What about their lives and their evolution?

Yet you continue to play in this field of imagination year and after year, full knowing that you can’t undo or recast the past. Those dear to you cannot come back in their bodies, nor can you remove those, as you see it, who were blights. You can miss all you miss, and you can withdraw from those you might idly wish never were. You can change yourself, yet you cannot change the minute by minute blow-by-blow aspects of your past as you lived it.

You can change your perception. You can see from a wider vision now.

What’s Your Purpose?


Quote from Robert Byrne. Credit: encoretampabay.com

By Wes Annac, Culture of Awareness

I’d like to follow up from my piece yesterday and encourage us all to get serious about our purpose. Let’s figure out how we want to help the world, because it needs people who are willing to pursue their dreams and help others along the way. To help others is to help ourselves, and when we use our talents and passions to uplift the world, we serve our creator and expand our consciousness.

Those of us who consider ourselves ‘conscious’ or ‘awakened’ have a natural responsibility to share the good vibes with the world, and we don’t necessarily have to do it by sharing our perspective on spirituality, which will inevitably contradict a lot of people’s beliefs. There’s nothing wrong with discussing our philosophy with open-minded people, but we might not want to force our perspective onto anyone.

When I am saying I am God, I am saying every human being is God - and not only every human being, every being is God. To be is to be God; there is no other way. God is trees in the trees and birds in the birds and mountains in the mountains, man in man, woman in woman. God has all these manifestations. All these beautiful waves arise in His ocean.

When I declare that I am the ocean, other waves become disturbed. They think that I am claiming some superiority, that I am saying that you are only waves and I am an ocean. I am not saying that.

By declaring that I am the ocean I have declared that you are also the ocean.

On Fleeing From Our Personal Monsters

Tanushree Vaidya PhotographyThere are two ways to argue with reality.

One way is to wish that someone or something else were present instead of who or whatever is.

That’s the one we tend to consciously ruminate over. The one that fuels our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Drives us to positive thinking, visualizations and manifestation attempts.  Well used, it may also motivate, inspire and encourage dedicated actions, choices and behaviors that are aligned with our aspirations for our self and our world.

The second way is to deeply desire for someone or something to be absent from your life...

The Whistle-Blower That Everyone Is Soon To Know

By Lance Schuttler | The Mind Unleashed

The geopolitical sphere of our world has been undergoing dramatic changes on every front for the past several years. In the past 2 years alone specifically, we’ve seen alliances broken, alliance made and the propaganda intensify. Reading any mainstream media reports over that time has shown us a different picture of what has really been taking place. Even most alternative media outlets are not aware of what is happening and are still bent on the belief that the “Powers That Were” or NWO are always going to retain it’s perception of power. Reality, however, has been setting in and has taken much more solid form over the past year. A whistle-blower that has been speaking of this massive geopolitical, financial and social change is named Benjamin Fulford.

Benjamin is a professional writer and journalist who was Forbes Magazine Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief from 1998-2005. Ben has written extensively on the real reason behind 9/11 (I highly recommend reading that), U.S. media manipulation and government and financial corruption. Ben quit his Forbes position “in profound disgust over extensive corporate censorship and mingling of advertising and editorial at the magazine.” He has also written that his “goal is to counter U.S. propaganda and expose the Japanese people to the truth so that they may free themselves from the colonial yoke and use their $5 trillion in overseas holdings to end world poverty and save the environment.”

Science Comes Full Circle

will's picture

One of the foundations of modern science is that if something cannot be measured, cannot be observed and verified, it may as well not exist. Science at least attempts to deal with tangible things, such as Newtonian physics, while less tangible things, like the human mind, start to create problems. Scientists strive to be objective, but the human mind is subjectivity itself.

There's debate as to whether the study of the mind, psychology, even qualifies as science. It doesn't help that a lot of what used to masquerade as good psychology is verifiably false. Many of Freud's theories were never proven, but that didn't stop psychologists from treating them like objective facts. That's how religions get created, not how science is supposed to work.

Now science wants to be objective while the mind itself is biased, and it can't help but be biased. Because of this, science tries to steer clear of the human mind as much as possible, while simultaneously being wholly dependent upon the human mind. Science itself was born from the mind, and science itself has no objective existence, it only “exists” within human minds. It's purely subjective objectivity, but that thought creates so much cognitive dissonance within most scientists that they can't help but ignore it.
