How often in life we react to our circumstances? Almost always. It comes to us naturally though, or better put we do it unconsciously and that is why it might feel like second nature. We feel like we have answer to everything, we like to argue and complain, we think we know what is right for everybody, we love to point fingers at somebody who is doing something we don’t like and love to put ourselves on pedestal if we did something nice. What’s wrong with that, you might question. Well, just hang in there and I will tell you my theory about that, and then it’s up to you to take it into consideration or leave it, like nothing ever happened.

When you react to what happens around you, it’s actually not you reacting but your Ego. Your Ego has formed from your past events, and has a set way of seeing life. It is a part of you, that loves conflicts, problems, it feeds on them. Many people know it as” that little voice inside your head”. That little voice that tells you, You are not worthy; You can’t do this, What people will think? You don’t have any talent. Nobody loves you. You can never finish anything you start, and so it goes on ranting in your head, seriously polluting your precious soul. When you start believing your Ego and reacting in accordance to what it says, you give it power. You strengthen it. And then it really starts seeming that it is you saying all that stuff. It becomes difficult to see the separation.

The Netherlands has just become the latest country, following Russia, Mexico, and many others, to say no to Monsanto. The sale and use of glyphosate-based herbicides (the most commonly used herbicides in the world) has just been banned for non-commercial use in the country, effective later this year. This means that people will no longer be able to spray RoundUp on their lawns and gardens and will instead have to find another (hopefully more natural) means of pest control.

This is definitely a step in the right direction, though it’s unlikely you’ll be hearing about it through mainstream Western media. Think about that for a moment.

The move comes as no surprise, considering that the number of countries around the world who are choosing to ban this product is growing at an exponential rate. Bans and restrictions are being implemented due to the fact that glyphosate (the main ingredient in RoundUp) has been directly linked to several major health issues, including: birth defects, nervous system damage, Alzheimers, Parkinson’s, various forms of cancer, and kidney failure...

The following list delves into the external consequences of the drug war to illustrate how drug users and non-users alike would be a lot better off if prohibition of all drugs ended immediately.

The drug war is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the mainstream political dialogue, even among people who are sympathetic to the plight of responsible drug users. It is rare for someone to come out and say that all drugs should be legal, but in all honesty this is the only logically consistent stance on the issue. To say that some drugs should be legal while others should not is still giving credence to the punishment paradigm and overlooking the external consequences of drug prohibition, or prohibition of any object for that matter.

There is no doubt that drug abuse is a serious issue in our culture, primarily because people are so depressed and beaten down that they self medicate just to be able to tolerate the average day...

The spirit world, also known as the mirror world, is the authentic underlying truth of humanity’s collective evolution. It contains humanity’s truest feelings, ideas, beliefs, and sacred consciousness. The subconscious of humanity was placed inside of beings who are dreamers, people who are capable of holding space and making life sacred again. These are the mamas and the papas, the sacred indigo children, the seers, the navigators, the creators, and the lovers of life. These are the dancers of space and time that shake rattles in their eyes and bring you back to life when they crack a smile.

Each and every human being, every plant, animal, or element of creation has a mirror world/spirit world identity. We exist as multidimensional beings with interior and exterior landscapes. We are capable of manifesting the sacred dream, of transforming nightmares into journeys through bliss gardens, and of healing ourselves above and below, within and throughout our eternal beings. Contained within the authentic mirror world are the spiritual imprints and collective light and dark of every individual human being. These gather together to create actual dimensions that encapsulate emotions, feelings, thoughts, imagery, and events.
