There’s quite a bit of talk these days about raising consciousness, and despite a growing mainstream awareness it still remains a somewhat vague, mysterious and elusive topic.

What exactly does raising consciousness mean? What does it entail? How can you measure your progress?

All excellent questions that spiritual and esoteric traditions from around the world have been attempting to answer for millennia and the very ones I’ve been asking myself and intensely contemplating for over a decade. I’d like to think I’ve discovered meaningful answers, distilled from a synthesis of the shared wisdom across all the different paths I’ve studied: from Shamanism to Sufism, Hindu/Tantric philosophy to Daoism, Jungian Psychology to Non-Dualism, Kabbalah to Quantum Physics and everything in between. I’ve combined what I’ve learned from these traditions with personal insights and distinctions I haven’t specifically seen mentioned anywhere else to form a very powerful set of ideas, insights and guiding principles outlined below that have the ability to dramatically shift consciousness in a remarkably short period of time.

One of the most challenging this you will do with your time here is to stand up and move forward while others stay static.
My beautiful child, do not be afraid of any ridicule, taunting or jibes as you choose to walk your path.  You have a very important job to do while you are here and that is to lead and show people your light!  Any hurtful comments directed at you are from those who are in fear of their own light….it is your purpose to show them that only good can come of embracing change and moving forward. ~ Creator

Born in 1971, artist Miha Brinovec has spent years traveling through the parks of Slovenia creating beautiful sculptures out of natural materials that embody the spirits of nature’s magical embodiments.

“As a child I always wanted to see mythical creatures from fairy tales. Of course I couldn’t see them.

Now I am older but that child inside me is still curious, so one day I came up with the idea how to see them. I went into the forest, picked up a magical place and surrendered myself with the process. I picked up available nature materials, asked the spirit to reveal himself (herself) to me and started to work. This is how some pretty amazing faces were brought to life.” – Miha Brinovec

“It is scary how many similarities there are between this [pharmaceutical] industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry …” ~ former Vice-President of Pfizer pharmaceuticals ¹

If you believe pharmaceutical corporations hold the health of the general public in high regard, it’s time to reconsider. The industry is filled with examples of wrongful death, extortion, fraud, corruption, obstruction of justice, embezzlement, fake journals, harassment and hit lists that would make even the most hardened Mafia godfather blush. Big Pharma has been fined billions by the U.S. Department of Justice, but these enormous fines don’t curb the corruption, it’s just looked upon as “the cost of doing business,” similar to paying the utilities.

The non-sociological definition of a revolution and the one most people are familiar with is “the forcible overthrow and thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.” If you ask most people involved in the truth and freedom movement, they’ll likely tell you that a coming revolution of this kind is inevitable. However, there are many reasons why the majority of the world will not move in this direction…here are three reasons why.

1. Non-Compliance

The political events that have recently transpired are giving us a glimpse of dramatic acts which have sparked a cascade of protests and unrest. Although the superficial impression portrayed by the media is violence and chaos, there is so much more occurring.
