In the first place, I have no philosophy of life. All that I am teaching to my people is to live without a philosophy of life - to just live! I am teaching life, not a philosophy of life!

Secondly, I am not teaching any doctrine, any dogma. I am not teaching thinking. On the contrary, I am teaching my people how to be without thought, how not to be in the thinking, how to disappear from the world of thinking, how to be utterly silent so not even a single thought moves in your mind.

When the screen of the mind is utterly empty, when the projector of thinking has stopped functioning, meditation arises. And meditation is the door to God.

10 Lessons Learned From A 3 Year Old

By: Angela Amirault | Ad Astra Therapy

I have a beautiful god-daughter who I think is one of the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful kids on the planet. After minding her I have a further appreciation of sleep and for all parents out there. Kids are wonderful teachers as they can see a world filled with joy and opportunities. I think we could all benefit from having such beliefs.

Below are some of things I have learned from her and other children, they are all adding light to an often dark and cynical world.

  1. The world is an amazing place. With fresh eyes we can appreciate so much more around us. Helicopters and airplanes are a marvel. Our imagination is an incredible tool that we rarely use for good. Every morning is a gift and we should all wake up as excited as a child because it means a new day full of possibility.

Why Anti-Authoritarians are Diagnosed as Mentally Ill

In my career as a psychologist, I have talked with hundreds of people previously diagnosed by other professionals with oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, anxiety disorder and other psychiatric illnesses, and I am struck by (1) how many of those diagnosed are essentially anti-authoritarians, and (2) how those professionals who have diagnosed them are not.

Anti-authoritarians question whether an authority is a legitimate one before taking that authority seriously. Evaluating the legitimacy of authorities includes assessing whether or not authorities actually know what they are talking about, are honest, and care about those people who are respecting their authority. And when anti-authoritarians assess an authority to be illegitimate, they challenge and resist that authority—sometimes aggressively and sometimes passive-aggressively, sometimes wisely and sometimes not.

Some activists lament how few anti-authoritarians there appear to be in the United States. One reason could be that many natural anti-authoritarians are now psychopathologized and medicated before they achieve political consciousness of society’s most oppressive authorities.

Why the Quantum World is Changing Everything

By: Thais Gibson | Hack Your Passion 

Quantum physics is the new physics that is pointing to something far greater than the materialistic world that we once believed to be the basis of our existence. Not only is disproving our original perception of space and time, but it is opening the doors to possibility of time travel, telepathy and consciousness creating our reality. Below are some of the major properties of quantum mechanics and the implications they have on the world around us. You won’t be disappointed!

Quantum Entanglement: When two sub-atomic particles cross paths with one another, they become “entangled.”This means that their properties become linked with one another. When these entangled particles are separated (even millions of miles or light-years apart), what happens to one particle instantaneously happens to the other particle.

Why this is so phenomenal: This means that information is travelling far faster than the speed of light to be communicated in an instant way across vast distances.
This defies what we previously knew to be possible, and also hints at the notion of telepathy having the potential to be scientifically studied.

Treating Anxiety Naturally

By Alex ‘Earthie Mama’ Du Toit
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Everyone experiences anxiety every once in a while. Some people are plagued with anxiety and suffer daily from the symptoms that come along with it.

Anxiety is an overwhelming feeling of worry that effects the body both mentally and physically. Symptoms of anxiety include: cloudy thoughts, heart palpitations, sweaty palms, muscle tension, dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, an inability to concentrate, regularly not wanting to get out of bed, nagging negative thoughts that the worst is going to happen.

For many people, these symptoms can be debilitating and hard to live with. Sometimes, when a person gets to this point, they seek medical attention and are prescribed pharmaceutical drugs that block the symptoms so the anxiety can be easier to live with. However, the anxiety medication may cause awful side effects sometimes worse than the anxiety itself. Medications become addictive while causing damage to the vital organs in your body like the liver and kidneys.

The Global Choir: How Technology Creates Fascinating Musical Projects

Source: www.totalchoirresources.com | Original Post Date: April 6, 2015 –

For most of us, our experience of a choir comes from singing, conducting or being part of an audience.  With the amazing technological advances we enjoy today, the definition of what a choir is has been given some fascinating alternative angles with global music projects based on the internet.  I will be looking at two different examples for the purpose of this article – Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir and Playing for Change – but would love to hear from readers about any other such projects taking place.

Virtual Choir

Chances are you’ve probably heard of renowned composer Eric Whitacre.  His first album Light and Gold won him a Grammy award in 2012 as both composer and conductor with the Eric Whitacre Singers.  If you haven’t already listened to his music, it’s well worth taking the time to do so.  I was first introduced through singing Seal Lullaby in our Total Voice Chamber Choir which we performed at the Bournemouth Pavillion.  I thought it was so beautiful and really enjoyed the atmosphere the music created and the beautiful harmonies.

Scientific Study Reveals How To Literally Upgrade Your DNA

Did you know that you can literally upgrade and activate your DNA in a way that is scientifically verifiable in a lab? There’s a lot of talk about “DNA activation”, which is usually dismissed as new age mumbo-jumbo with no real scientific basis.

But a new study by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain, and France reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of mindfulness meditation.  It shows that you can literally switch on certain genes while meditating that previously were dormant, an idea that had previously only been thought of pseudoscience.

The study

The study investigated the effects of a day of intensive mindfulness practice in a group of experienced meditators, compared to a group of untrained control subjects who engaged in quiet non-meditative activities.

Former US Attorney General Joins Lawsuit Against Bush For Illegal War In Iraq

former-us-attorney-general-joins-lawsuit-against-bush-for-illegal-war-in-iraq

A lawsuit against members of the Bush administration for their role in the invasion of Iraq recently received noteworthy support from an internationally prominent group of lawyers—including a former U.S. attorney general. The group is asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to review the class action suit on grounds that the U.S.-led war was an illegal act of aggression in violation of international guidelines as defined by the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II.

Iraqi mother Sundus Saleh filed the lawsuit on May 27 against former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Richard Cheney, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, stating they “broke the law in conspiring and committing the crime of aggression against the people of Iraq.” Her complaint filed to the court reads:

10 Industrial Uses For Coke Which Prove It’s Not Fit For Human Consumption

Source: www.thefreethoughtproject.com | Original Post Date: June 28, 2015 –

Coca-Cola is recognized across the globe as the most valuable brand in history, as well as the second most recognized phrase in the world after “hello.” In many place across the globe purchasing a Coke is ironically easier and less expensive than accessing clean water.

Although Coke attempts to portray itself as a socially and environmentally conscious company, the reality is that it’s deeply connected to pollution and water shortages.

Additionally, the acidity of Coke has led many to question the toxicity of the product, relating to long-term human health, as its pH rating is only one point higher than that of battery acid.

In a study sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, researchers found that individuals who consumed at least one soda a day had a 44% higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome during the four-year study.

Daily Message ~ Sunday July 12, 2015

Dear Ones, if you want a path of beauty, recognize your own beauty and through that emanation allow it to draw you to greater experiences of beauty. If you want a path of love, you must see the love that exists within you and allow your own love to lead the way to greater expressions of love. It is through what you embrace within and focus on outwardly that you choose your own path of experience.

That is how authentically powerful you are. It is like saying to yourself, “What would I like to experience more of. Joy? Okay, allow me to embrace my joy within and bring it to the forefront to allow it to detect all the other joy that exists for me. I joyfully follow the path of joy.”

Do you see? You cannot sadly follow a path of joy. You cannot poorly follow a path to abundance. You cannot hatefully walk a path of love. You set your direction by embracing what you desire within yourself and then surrendering into the flow with that essence of your desire leading the way. ~Archangel Gabriel

You Are Illuminated

God said:

You are I. We are Self-Perpetuating. In effect, We are an Echo of Our One Self. We are a Reverberation. We are Thoughts made from Oneness. We are an Idea, and We are so much more.

On Earth, you present yourself to Me, somewhat as if you were at a cotillion. Yet you are a Princess in disguise who presents her Self as Cinderella. In Reality, you are a Princess who disappears. Just the same, the silver slipper fits. And hearts are true, and love is true and is found everywhere, even in the most unlikely places.

You are a parade of My One Self, a Parade of Oneness on Earth, an unfolding of your One Self. You are like one of those photographs where the shutter keeps clicking. You see the same still photograph fanned out second by second in milliseconds. You had a dream, and I had a dream as well. My dream of you came true. You are illuminated. My Light I bequeathed to Myself in the illusive form of you. You are light and nothing but light.

You are a still photograph of light caught in motion. You are an atom moving and assembling and reassembling. You are My Picture of Love. You go on about the business of life in the world as a shell of your Self, even as the Truth Is You Are Complete, Entire, Wholeness. Life can only count to One.

You seem to be a sequence, yet you are Wholeness. Wholeness is Oneness.

There Are No Problems in the Present Moment

By: Stephen Parato | Feeling Good, Feeling Great

While I was in the shower this morning, I found myself getting annoyed and worked up…

I recently broke up with the woman I was dating. So I was grappling with my ego and mulling over the past. Realizing that I had created this negative mental spiral, I asked myself “What am I doing RIGHT NOW?” My answer was simply “I’m in the shower.” No problems, nothing bad happening to me, just water happily running over my body.

Of course, parting ways with someone close to you is difficult, but being completely present helped me to transcend the incessant, ego-driven thought loops that didn’t serve me.

To be clear, I’m not saying to suppress or ignore emotions. They must be acknowledged and dealt with or they will manifest in insidious ways. I’m merely pointing out that, through presence, I was able to stop the repetitive, problem-creating “ego-talk” that wasn’t doing me any good.

Eric Holder, Wall Street Double Agent, Comes in From the Cold

Barack Obama's former top cop cashes in after six years of letting banks run wild

By Matt Taibbi

Eric Holder has gone back to work for his old firm, the white-collar defense heavyweight Covington & Burling. The former attorney general decided against going for a judgeship, saying he's not ready for the ivory tower yet. "I want to be a player," he told the National Law Journal, one would have to say ominously.

Holder will reassume his lucrative partnership (he made $2.5 million the last year he worked there) and take his seat in an office that reportedly – this is no joke – was kept empty for him in his absence.

The office thing might have been improper, but at this point, who cares? More at issue is the extraordinary run Holder just completed as one of history's great double agents. For six years, while brilliantly disguised as the attorney general of the United States, he was actually working deep undercover, DiCaprio in The Departed-style, as the best defense lawyer Wall Street ever had.

Holder denied there was anything weird about returning to one of Wall Street's favorite defense firms after six years of letting one banker after another skate on monstrous cases of fraud, tax evasion, market manipulation, money laundering, bribery and other offenses.

Become a Better Intuitive Through Improv

by Allen Vaysberg

If you wish to increase your intuitive and manifesting abilities, you may be guided to take an Improv class. Sure, books and spiritual classes are great, but doing improv is the fastest way to practice the most important skills needed for quick manifestations or heightening of your intuitive abilities.

One of those skills involves being in the present moment. Many books and spiritual teachers speak of it. For instance, Panache Desai refers to it in terms of the state of nothingness. Spending time there disconnects you from the worries and needs of your life and allows you to just be. In that state of observation, you are pure love and are consciousness residing in the fifth dimension. From there, you are able to heal and create.
