A river disappears into the ocean. Do you think the river comes to know the ocean? It becomes the ocean, but there is no knowing. In fact, when you become one with something, how can you know it? Knowledge requires division; knowledge is basically schizophrenic. The object has to be separate from the subject; the knower has to keep a distance from the known. If the distance disappears, there will be no knowledge possible.

And that's what happens in mysticism: the seeker becomes one with the sought, the lover dissolves into the beloved, the dewdrop slips, falls into the ocean and becomes the ocean. There is no knowledge. In such unity knowledge is not possible. In such unity there is only experience, and experience not of something outside you, but something inside you. It is experiencing rather than experience.

Astrology Forecast for the 2015 Leo New Moon

by Kathy Biehl

August 14, 2015

7:53 AM PDT / 10:53 AM EDT / 2:53 PM GMT

21 Leo 30

Impulses that have been smoldering all summer catch fire with August’s Leo New Moon. The event takes influences from two overlapping cycles, rolls them into a fireball and hurtles them — and us — forward.

Under normal circumstances, the Leo New Moon gives a boost to our egos, playfulness and need for recognition and attention. This time around, the Leo New Moon is not merely priming our inner spark. It is pouring desire and willpower into that spark and catalyzing dramatic developments.

The catalyst angle comes from the Leo New Moon’s tight, easy flow to Uranus, cosmic agent provocateur. Pressures and impulses from the last three years, and from the end of June in particular, are catching fire. (Again.) This link imbues the Leo New Moon with the radically liberating, individuating end of the change imperative that has rocked the foundations of our lives since 2012, as the unforeseeable and perspective-altering (Uranus) clashed with the unavoidable and transformational (Pluto).

Hundreds of Thousands of Babies on Antidepressants & Psychotropic Drugs

BabyPillsVic Bishop, Staff Writer
Waking Times

Parenting has never been easy, but parents certainly face some new challenges in the 21st century. Making medical choices for your children is one of many responsibilities, and in the era of mandatory vaccines and big-pharma influence over the medcial establishment, decisions which once may have been easy to make are now more complex than ever before.

Take mental health, for example. Never before in the history of human kind have we suffered from such dreadful mental health, and never before have human beings used chemicals like modern pharmaceuticals to regulate their emotional and spiritual well-being by tinkering with body chemistry. Psychotropics are chemical pharmaceuticals that change brain chemistry and create alterations in mood, consciousness and perception. Whatever your opinion of them is, they are a here to stay in our society, they can have extremely negative side effects, and they are even linked to some very shocking incidents of public violence. These drugs can be dangerous.

Herbal Remedies for Depression: Viable Alternative to Antidepressants

Deane Alban, Guest
Waking Times

Antidepressants are not very helpful and cause many side effects. These herbal remedies have a history of effectiveness and safety in treating depression.

The statistics surrounding depression are staggering.

Over 18 million Americans have a depressive disorder.

One in ten adults takes antidepressants, and for women in their 40s and 50s this number is up to one in four. (1)

Americans lead the way in antidepressant use but other countries with high standards of living, like France and the Netherlands, are close behind.

Some experts believe that our modern lifestyle is making us more depressed, while others think that heavy promotion by drug companies and over-prescribing doctors are to blame.

But however you look at it, more people than ever are taking antidepressants, and natural options that work are needed more than ever.

Native American Tribe Vows To Hold EPA Accountable For Toxic Spill In Colorado

The Navajo Nation declared a state of emergency this week after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revealed they were responsible for not one, but three million gallons of toxic mining wastewater spilled into the Animas River in Colorado. According to the EPA, the contamination is composed of cadmium, arsenic, lead, aluminum, and copper.

Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye vowed to hold the EPA fully responsible for its spill, saying “The EPA was right in the middle of the disaster, and we intend to make sure the Navajo Nation recovers every dollar it spends cleaning up this mess and every dollar it loses as a result of injuries to our precious Navajo natural resources.”

18 CEOs Called Out By Bernie Sanders For Taking Trillions In Bailouts, Evading Taxes, And Outsourcing Jobs

Senator Sanders, in his no-nonsense approach, released a report identifying 18 CEOs responsible for wrecking the economy.

Bernie Sanders is the underdog in the American political race, but he’s quickly gaining momentum as a prime candidate to lead the US, as his no-nonsense, candor approach is appreciated by many – especially the millennial generation.

In response to 80 CEOS recently publishing a letter on the Wall Street Journal lecturing America about deficit reduction and urging them to “act on the deficit and reform Medicaid and Medicare,” Sanders had the following to say:

There really is no shame. The Wall Street leaders whose recklessness and illegal behavior caused this terrible recession are now lecturing the American people on the need for courage to deal with the nation’s finances and deficit crisis. Before telling us why we should cut Social Security, Medicare and other vitally important programs, these CEOs might want to take a hard look at their responsibility for causing the deficit and this terrible recession.

Source: www.reset.me | Original Post Date: April 10, 2015 –

Marijuana can help in the fight against cancer, according to the United States Federal Government.

Say what?

Yes, that’s the same United States Federal Government which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance with no accepted medical benefits. Since 1970, it has been categorically illegal to sell, possess or grow marijuana under federal law. Yet posted for all the world to see on the National Institute of Drug Abuse website is this paragraph:

“Recent animal studies have shown that marijuana extracts may help kill certain cancer cells and reduce the size of others...
