“There are cultural myths that are easy to overturn. People see through them quickly. But the prevailing core myths are tougher. Much tougher. Most people resist even discussing them. In the old days, the Church tortured and burned people who discussed them. Now, it’s social ostracism. Now, in some cases, it’s the State kidnapping children to send a message.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

Since none of the 300 official mental disorders has any defining physical test for diagnosis, there is no proof they exist. Period.

You could interview thousands of people who say they feel depressed, and you would find significant differences. The more you listened to their stories, the more you would be convinced of the differences.

You would be splitting apart the central idea of “depression” and realizing it has no common center.

This is hard for many people to believe. That’s how brainwashed they are.

There are no common universal states of consciousness. It’s all unique, from person to person.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Wheel of Life.’ Chakras are the energy fields which prime our bodies on many levels. Linking to our Life Force, the chakras permanently spin, attracting various people, experiences and emotions into our lives. The chakras hook us up to a myriad of colors and are the symbolic expression of the rainbow in our bodies – as above, so below.

Although advanced healers identify as many as twenty-four chakras (sometimes thirty-two!), there are seven main chakras, which serve well as an introduction to the subject.

The first chakra is the Root (Red), which is located at the base of the spine. The second is the Sacral (Orange), which is located midway between the navel and the base of the spine. The third is the Solar Plexus (Yellow) is located behind the navel. The fourth is the Heart (Emerald Green) and is located at the chest. The fifth is the Throat (Light Blue), which is located at the neck. The sixth is the Third Eye (Indigo Blue), which rests between the eyes. The seventh is the Crown (Purple), which is at the top of the head. In the information below, I have also mentioned the Ear chakras (Violet), which are located just above the eyebrows.

Life is often “clear as mud.” While we prefer things to be logical, neat, and linear, unfortunately life doesn’t play according to our rules.

Light is the perfect example and metaphor for life; paradoxically behaving like a wave and particle — sometimes it passes through glass, sometimes it bounces off. Likewise, our rigid rules for life need to be traded in for a flexible approach; what seems mutually exclusive, is interconnected.

We don’t live in an “either/or” world, it’s “both/and.” Here are seven paradoxical truths to embrace for a meaningful life:

1. To Be and to Do

In the blue corner, Benjamin Franklin says “Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.” In the red corner, Alan Watts says, “The meaning of life is just to be alive. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”

Both express important aspects of life. Watts is speaking against the rat-race that robs you of the joy of simply being present. Franklin highlights the potential you possess to leave an indelible mark — that great achievements are made by people no different to yourself.

We’re disappointed that big news in France hasn’t made its way to the top of U.S. headlines: the French National Assembly recently passed a law that will help to limit young children’s exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by wireless technologies. Two years in the works, the law encompasses various rules, including:

• Banning WiFi in any childcare facilities catering to children under the age of 3.
• Requiring cell phone manufacturers to recommend the use of hands-free kits to everyone.
• Banning any advertising that specifically targets youth under the age of 14.

The law, passed by a majority vote and adopted into place on January 29, 2015, is the first in France to suggest and establish that WiFi over-exposure may indeed be hazardous to young children — a controversial topic, not just in France, but around the world.

Self mastery represents the ultimate goal that one could achieve, or could seek to achieve.

It is a potent tool that allows us to create the reality or destiny we desire. If you are not in control of your own destiny, you are left to the afflictions of fate, of which you feel you have no control over.

Self Mastery encompasses all of the aspects necessary for creating a self-willed reality. “We can only control what we can control and so the most cherished thing that we can control is the self”

7. Self-Awareness

Self-Awareness is the ability to observe and understand our own feelings, thoughts and actions. It is also known as self-consciousness.
