Texas lawmaker files bill to legalize marijuana

In Texas, a conservative lawmaker filed a bill to completely deregulate marijuana in the Lone Star State Monday, proposing to strike any mention of the psychoactive plant from state law.

"Everything that God made is good, even marijuana" said state Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, who filed the bill. "The conservative thought is that government doesn't need to fix something that God made good."

The 24-page bill begins: "The following provisions are repealed," then lists dozens of Texas statutes related to marijuana. If the Legislature were to approve the bill, pot in Texas would be regulated like any common crop.

In a press release, Simpson said he supported regulating marijuana like the state regulates "tomatoes, jalapeños or coffee."

Maybe You Don’t Have to Understand

Love can do anything. Love can work miracles.

You may think:

“Sure. Love can work miracles. Lives have been saved, etc. etc. I believe it. What I don’t believe is that my love can work miracles in my life. I have given love that was not answered. My giving mammoth love didn’t bring my true love to me. All my love has not spared me in any way I can see – except perhaps to spare me from happiness – I can see that all right. My experience seems to have been that my love has been misunderstood, made too much of or not enough of. Life is too perplexing. I am sure that You have a full view of life, God. I just don’t.

“I want to say that You are not living my life. I am. You may say that You and I are One, yet I don’t see your heart hurting. You can say that Your heart is mine and vice versa, yet I don’t get it.

“God, I do not want You to hurt even once as I have been hurt. I do not want You to hurt at all. I am happy that You are wise and full of love and beyond all the discourse and developments of life as I know it. I would not want You to be otherwise, I hope You know that. I would not want to change You in any way. It is my individual self that I would like to change if I but knew how.

4 Giant Craters Found In Siberia After Flash Of Light

Scientists in Siberia have discovered four new craters in the Yamal Peninsula, one of which was discovered shortly after locals reported a giant flash of light. These craters quickly filled with snow and water and are now lakes. One of the newly discovered craters is surrounded by 20 smaller ones. It’s possible that new holes are opening up and scientists are somewhat alarmed that they can’t predict them.

Last year, three large craters were discovered in northern Russia, baffling scientists around the world. Originally, it was speculated that they might be impact craters from bombs and eruptions along fault lines. Others thought they might have been caused by aliens or underground creatures of sorts.

And the third thing that has been used is fear. You have been made afraid - of hell, of punishment.

And the other side of it is, you have been made very greedy for paradise, heaven, and the joys and the pleasures there: "You will be awarded greatly if you follow the priest; if you don't follow the priest you will be punished very badly, horribly. "

Man has become fear-oriented. No child is born fear-oriented. You can watch any child - he can even play with a snake, he has no fear. He can even play with fire, he has no fear. The child comes into the world as fearlessness, but we impose fear. The child, every child, is love-oriented, and every so-called grown-up is fear-oriented.

I would like you to again become love-oriented. Drop all fears, there is nothing to be afraid of. There is no hell, don't be worried about it; and there is no heaven so don't become greedy for it. All that is, is herenow. This moment contains all hell, all heaven. And it depends on you: if you enjoy, rejoice, if you are in deep love with life, if you can celebrate, you are in paradise. If you cannot enjoy, if your sources of celebration have been poisoned, if you have such heavy chains on your feet and your hands and you cannot dance with life, then you are in hell.

Stormy Weather on High Cosmic Seas

By Zen Gardner

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

I don’t even need to ask who’s feeling this. We’re all experiencing turbulent vibrational times right now. It’s a very real challenge. Whatever the source, we’re going through a kind of vortex of change and disturbance that needs to be acknowledged and addressed.

I don’t know the so-called “reason” for it, but it’s there. With even a cursory look at the world around us, we’re passing through some serious stuff. And it can be quite disconcerting.

I’ve said many times this was coming in previous articles, but as always, when it hits it’s another story. We can observe something inside the “washing machine” with a safe distance between the event and ourselves, but when we’re actually in it personally – man o’ man.

5 Tips For Awakening Your Inner Spirit

In the mind there is a seed that was planted at birth. That seed is our spirit. Or at least that’s what I think of it. In our lives, we can decide to nurture the seed and help it grow in a strong, robust spirit, or leave it in its unsprouted form. It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to grow your spirit, I wouldn’t judge you either way. I decided to grow it, and this is what I’ve learned.

1. When you accept tragedy, you liberate your spirit.

Suffering is a part of life. Acceptance invites into your life healing. Healing helps grow your spirit. Suppressing suffering simply creates more suffering. Do not surrender to what is in your control, but understand that many things are out of your control.

2. We choose most of our experience, so choose to live a positive life.

5 Ways To Live Life To The Fullest

I’ve noticed the older I get, the faster the days, months and years seem to fly by. It all seems like a blur! So I’ve been thinking about ways to slow down my days and make each one fuller, and this is what I’ve come up with.

1. Take back your mornings.

Wake, coffee, work, home, sleep. Sound like a typical routine? Step one to slowing down my life was to take back my morning. I wake, I have coffee, I eat breakfast, I read a bit, I do a bit of yoga and meditation, and then I start my day. Do I wake earlier? Yes. But there’s something so nice about being up a couple hours before everyone else.

2. Be fully present.

Wherever you are, be there! Even if it’s somewhere unpleasant like the dentist’s office or stuck in traffic. The moment you’re in belongs to you, so live in it.

Daily Message ~ Tuesday March 3, 2015

Waiting for luck or good fortune to finally smile upon you is not an empowered way of living. It is waiting to be rescued, which indicates a belief that you think you are powerless and that life is something that happens to you. Dear Ones, that is much like sitting on a well stocked picnic basket, with your stomach growling, waiting for someone to come load your plate and feed you!

Your life is a co-creative process. You are the director of your team of helpers. How can you ever get the results that satisfy you if you are giving all your power away? How can your helpers satisfy you when all you hold is some vague desire for circumstances to sweep in and make it better? What does better mean to you? What can you do right now to embody what you wish to experience?

Assume your rightful role as CEO of your life expression. Declare what you wish to experience and then, with consistent focus and actions that match your intentions, watch the energies begin to respond to your leadership. It does not need to be hard work. Far from it! It is a joyful experience filled with excitement, magic and fun when you start to work with the incredible power of the flow and a completely cooperative universe, that supports you in whatever you choose. ~Archangel Gabriel

How To Focus A Wandering Mind

New research reveals what happens in a wandering mind—and sheds light on the cognitive and emotional benefits of increased focus.

We’ve all been there. You’re slouched in a meeting or a classroom, supposedly paying attention, but your mind has long since wandered off, churning out lists of all the things you need to do—or that you could be doing if only you weren’t stuck here…

Suddenly you realize everyone is looking your way expectantly, waiting for an answer. But you’re staring blankly, grasping at straws to make a semi-coherent response. The curse of the wandering mind!

But don’t worry—you’re not alone. In fact, a recent study by Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert sampled over 2,000 adults during their day-to-day activities and found that 47 percent of the time, their minds were not focused on what they were currently doing. Even more striking, when people’s minds were wandering, they reported being less happy.

How To Manifest Your Reality

Source: www.positivelypositive.com | Original Post Date: April 1, 2012 –

We are always manifesting.

Each thought we have creates an energy flow within and around our physical being. This energy attracts its likeness. So if you’re thinking, “I suck,” then your energy kinda, well, sucks—and you attract sucky experiences.

The opposite experience occurs when you think high-level thoughts like, “I rock!” When you think and feel, “I rock,” you exude an energy of confidence and in turn attract great experiences into your life. Each thought you have informs your energy, and your energy manifests into your experiences…

Your thoughts and energy create your reality.

Manifesting Mishaps

Manifestation has become a buzzword lately. Though it’s totally awesome that the Law of Attraction is now trendy, it also can be a bit misleading for folks who are unwilling to do the heavy lifting. If you truly want to use your energetic power to manifest greatness, you must clear all that blocks you from believing in your greatness.

The Healing Power Of Cat Purrs – A History Of Cats And How They Can Assist Us

Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: October 21, 2013 –

The Department of Animal Care and Control estimates there are hundreds of millions of cats in our world today, with the US having the highest number of registered cats at around 80 million. That makes for a lot of hairballs. Cats have developed an interesting relationship with humans over the course of history, playing a key role in our survival during the dawn of agriculture and later becoming one of man’s best little friends. Some ancient cultures even worshipped the cat, seeing them as sacred animals that possessed inherent wisdom. Recent studies even reveal some unique healing abilities of cats.

Recent archeological findings reveal that cat domestication may date back even further than the ancient Egyptian era to around 9000 BC. In 2004 a Neolithic grave was excavated on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea, which contained the skeleton of a man and an African wild-cat, revealing an earlier relationship between man and the feline than previously thought...

What Is The Fourth Phase of Water?

April McCarthy, Prevent Disease
Waking Times

University of Washington Bioengineering Professor Gerald Pollack answers this question, and intrigues us to consider the implications of this finding. Not all water is H2O, a radical departure from what you may have learned from textbooks.

Dr. Gerald Pollack, University of Washington professor of bioengineering, has developed a theory of water that has been called revolutionary. He has spent the past decade convincing worldwide audiences that water is not actually a liquid.

Dr. Pollack received his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He then joined the University of Washington faculty and is now professor of bioengineering. For years, Dr. Pollack had researched muscles and how they contract. It struck him as odd that the most common ideas about muscle contraction did not involve water, despite the fact muscle tissue consists of 99 percent water molecules.

Perfectionism and Fear: The Emotion Behind Getting It “Just Right”

By Paul Brundtland

Many of us know that feeling, that nagging voice inside saying “No, I want it THAT way”.

One can argue that perfectionism can bring out the best in us and others in certain situations. The great inventors, artists, scientists, engineers and architects in history undoubtedly found themselves struggling to realize exactly what was in their heads, and pushing those involved past what had been previously considered acceptable.

But for many of us perfectionists, we’re often not talking about finding the perfect angle for a structural member in a building. We might be more at the scale of finding the perfect angle for the hat on our head or getting our look for the day perfect. Maybe it’s the perfect way to end an email or expecting the perfect response at the perfect time from a colleague, friend or partner.

“What’s wrong with that?”, you may ask. Well, nothing, if it causes you no tension and doesn’t drive the people around you mad.

A Time of Revelation

Cosmic rainbow lightening
Zen Gardner, Guest
Waking Times

I don’t know about you but the schism between truth and lies seems to be widening pretty drastically lately with a lot of confusion and disorientation sewn into the mix.

Just recently I’ve seen friends facing personal upheavals, con jobs, personal attacks from very strange quarters, new and very revealing understandings of personal perspectives and relationships, and just about everything, for myself as well.

It’s like we’re viewing the perceived world as being fractured into shards of broken off new perspectives to be grasped and understood, making the big picture that much more lucid.

If we connect the dots.

I’ve said for a long time the split between the willing awakeners and the willful asleep would widen and we’d see more and more psychotic behavior on the part of the truth resistant. The revelation of what’s really going on within these vectors of society, as well as in the so called Truth movement, are something to look out for and be consciously aware of.
