A tiny bug is threatening your morning orange juice.

In Florida, the Asian citrus psyllid, an aphid-size creature that feeds on the stems and leaves of citrus trees, cost the juice business $3.6 billion between 2006 and 2012. The real damage from “citrus greening” comes from bacteria spread by the bug, which causes leaves to turn yellow and kills the tree in a few years.

Researchers are looking into new ways to combat the pests, and one project focuses on sound rather than pesticides to disrupt the insects’ mating habits.

“We’re trying hard to cut down on use of pesticides in orange groves, partly because we are worried they’ll build up resistance to pesticides, and that will make things even worse,” said Richard Mankin, a research entomologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He presented findings on acoustic disruption at the meeting of the American Acoustical Society this week in Jacksonville.

When a male psyllid wants to mate, he alerts a female by sitting on a leaf and buzzing his wings to send vibrations along leaves and branches. To disrupt that activity, the researchers created a device containing a piezoelectric buzzer and a microphone wired to a microcontroller.

Habits and addictions stem mainly from a loss of connection with one’s higher consciousness, and rekindling one’s authentic spirituality can pave the way for recovery and an enhanced sense of spirituality that gives life a greater purpose and meaning.

If you’re reading this, then you likely consider yourself a spiritual seeker and one of the main reasons people seek spirituality is because they’re searching for the wholeness, fulfillment and satisfaction they can’t seem to find in the external world.

They begin to realize that wholeness and satisfaction will always come from within, and the more you seek spirit, the more your higher consciousness can fill your life with color, vibrancy and the will to contribute to the spiritual revolution that’s being rekindled.

Have we lost our planet Earth to a faction of greedy un-evolved tyrannical extraterrestrials? The connection between early reports of alien craft propulsion systems using tube-like toruses, Lockheed- Martin Skunkworks new promise of a portable fusion energy source the toroidal Tokamak, and frightening aspects of planetary geoengineering with chemtrails that weaken our immune systems and the EMRs used with HAARP’s Ionospheric heaters, will become I hope obvious after reading this.

God said:

I will tell you who your arch-enemy is. I will tell you who sets you up. I will tell you who gets you in trouble. Beloveds, it is you. This is a part of life on Earth.

You are the one who negates yourself. You may negate yourself from responsibility by holding someone else or something else as responsible. You remove responsibility like a shawl off your shoulders. How convenient. In mistaken fear, never are you responsible, no matter what. You see yourself as vulnerable, as if being responsible would be too much for you to bear. Beloveds, everyone is responsible. Acknowledge this.

What great crime is it to be responsible? Being responsible is your power, not your weakness. Until you are responsible, the winds blow you around, and you are hapless. Better to take responsibility for yourself. It makes you solid. It makes you more of a citizen, and less of a wayfarer. You do have rights and privileges. Better to be responsible for how you act and how you react in the world.

Inevitably, you steer your own boat. Stand tall, and take responsibility for your life. This is a main key to your evolution. You are the responsible person who sits at the helm. You are not poor hapless you. You are a mighty Captain of the Ship. You are not the one done to. You are the one who sets your course.

I always find it interesting that people blame corporate greed for our overall condition. Sure it’s a major factor at one level, but it’s just an obvious outcropping of something much, much deeper. Sadly not that many are willing to go there.

That the entire world system is built on a capitalist system in one form or another is mind boggling. Defying our innate conscious awareness to the contrary, the signal has been given and repeatedly endorsed as well as crassly promoted that we need to gain off of each other, in each and every transaction, every exchange, in a no holds barred, dog eat dog environment.

One look at the marketing world and you get the picture. And the supposed “fittest” come out on top.

This is how and why the populace acquiesces to domination by the few. “They’re just good at what they do. They’re smarter and more motivated than the rest of us so surely they deserve to be winners in the game.”

Humanity’s being told how the game works and that this is your only option. “It’s just the way it is, so get to work and earn your salary, then invest in the game and try to get ahead and make a name and lots of money for yourself.” At which point the sharks devour the unsuspecting guppy.
