Out Of Our Own Backyards – Rethinking The Future Of Food

The following article is an excerpt from my new book titled Rethink, Your world, Your future, which  has just been released.

Buying Local Can be Difficult

Buying local these days can be difficult, as most of the food in supermarkets travels thousands of miles. An example of the lunacy of the current food system is highlighted by a 2007 study conducted by Melbourne’s Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies, or CERES. The study found that the average Australian basket of food has travelled over 70,000 kilometres from producer to consumer. The study analyzed 29 different food items purchased at a typical supermarket. These items included fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, and non-core food items such as chocolate. Typical across the globalized food system, the food in the basket of goods had been transported by road within Australia and by ship from other countries. Apart from the high transport miles, the energy which goes into the production of the products can also be far more significant in terms of global carbon emissions.

A Permanent Shift Into the Heart

By Wes Annac, Culture of Awareness

We’re on a journey of personal transformation, and some days will be harder than others. There will be times when we feel hurt, lonely and confused at the current state of our world, and there will be other times when we seem to soar through life without a care or concern.

Those are the times when we’re connected with our higher consciousness, and calling on this higher power will allow us to handle difficult circumstances with love and centeredness.

Our outlook on life, and especially the challenges we face, is entirely different when we’re rooted in love.

We understand that every difficult and stressful experience is a challenge of our ability to persevere and stay centered, and instead of treating life like an uphill climb, we flow through it with joy and excitement. Not to mention that it gets a lot easier to be patient.

I’m learning that we have to call on love if we want to make life simpler or more enjoyable. We have to summon it from within, even if we think we’re fooling ourselves or searching for happiness in the wrong places, because love and happiness can only come from inside of us.

Breathtaking Drone Footage Of Sudan’s Forgotten Nubian Pyramids

Amazing drone footage released last month from National Geographic Engineer Alan Turchik shows the world some excellent shots of the Northern Sudan’s 3000 year old pyramids.

Pyramids today remain a complete mystery to researchers, archaeologists, and scientists alike. Theories have have been put forth, but we still don’t have a concrete notion of how they were built or by whom, or even what their purpose is. There are still several questions that remain unanswered, which is why many of them are considered to be some of the greatest ancient unsolved mysteries in human history.

One of the most fascinating things about the pyramids is the fact that they have been discovered all over the world. They range in size but are remarkably similar in construction, and are known to have been built by several ancient civilizations – in several different time periods – all of which were completely unaware of each other’s existence. It’s truly remarkable and mind-blowing when you think about it, isn’t it?

Croatia Forgives Debt Of 60,000 Poor Citizens

Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: February 11, 2015 –

We live in a world where so many of us are ruled by debt. We work long hours to earn as much as we possibly can but still find ourselves drowning in mortgage payments and credit card bills. As far away as “freedom” may be for most of us, it is still a distant light at the end of the tunnel – something that is attainable… eventually.

In a bold move to help those whose light faded long ago, the Croatian government – under the leadership of its Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic – has decided to forgive the debt of 60,000 of its poorest citizens. Meaning that 60,000 Croatians will be given the opportunity for a fresh start, something that the Croatian government hopes will both set them personally on the right path and also stimulate the country’s economy through new spending.

Daily Message ~ Saturday June 13, 2015

Your old belief systems are so limiting! When you believe things are so black or white, you miss out on the myriad of possibilities in between. For example, you think you work during the week and you enjoy life on the weekend. Why on earth would you accept such a model? Why would you accept only having the potential for enjoyment two days out of a whole week?

Why not step back and take an observant viewpoint of what you have accepted for yourselves? Many belief systems are so deeply ingrained, they run in the background, much like a virus on your computer that has not been discovered, affecting the ease and joy of your experience. How are you limiting yourself? How are you accepting much less than what your true potential is? How are you playing it small? What opportunities are you missing due to beliefs you have adopted that likely were not even yours in the first place?

Thrive, Dear Ones! Enjoy! Live! Create new paradigms, new beliefs. Know that if you try something and it doesn’t feel right for you, you can try something else. Grab the reins and guide your life expression in a way that delights you! You are in the realm of experience for a reason. ~Archangel Gabriel

The 3 Biggest Misconceptions Of Mankind!

Nikola Tesla changed the face of our planet in a way that no one has managed. Although his inventions are countless, the scientist is best known for developing the system that has been providing us with electricity for generations now.

This ingenious physicist and visionary spoke about the three biggest misconceptions people have, which to some extent  are slowing down the development of mankind:

1. The misconceptions about the universe

The first misconceptions is related to space, which – as weird as it is – do not come from old or medieval times, but are constructed in the modern age.

These include delusions that people are the most developed race in space, and that the universe is a vacuum, without energy and matter in most of it, except the planets, stars and tiny space particles.

These misconceptions come precisely from scientists who draw conclusions without any facts and evidence, which subsequently others could not overthrow, because they also did not have any facts or evidence.

Is Happiness Absence of Ego, Is It?

God said:

I hear you crying out to Me:

“God, You are God. I am in Your company. I am embraced by You. I feel Your love. It soaks into me. Your love overflows and changes me. You rescued me, God. You have saved me time and time again from my ego. It isn’t that You destroy ego. You simply set my attention on another track. Ego is obviated. I am oblivious of it. Ego? Who? What? I forget about ego for a while. Maybe this is what happiness is – absence of ego.

“My world isn’t quite so centered around me any longer, and yet, and yet, most of my thoughts are about how I feel and what is going on in my life. Whom will I see today? What will I write? To whom will I write? Who will answer? Who will answer my heart?

“I am preoccupied with thoughts, as if I need more thoughts in my head, and, therefore, more thoughts to forget yet thoughts rise to the surface whether I want them or not. Recurring thoughts take over. They swallow me up. Are they my thoughts or not? I am not sure. I am not sure whose thoughts run around in my head. I don’t want to claim all of them. Is my mind mine anyways, or is my mind something I found somewhere and picked up thoughtlessly?
 
“I yearn for the day when I am so full of Being that there is no room for squandered thoughts. I would not be blank. I would be enriched, yet wouldn’t have to eat. I will love and be nourished by love and reach the heights of travel with You, God.

3 Easy Ways to Make Probiotic-rich Fermented Foods

Anna Hunt, Staff Writer
Waking Times

Fermented, probiotic foods, filled with beneficial bacteria, have been common in many cultures and are an integral part of a healthy diet. Yet, as we’ve become more modernized, it has become less convenient to ferment our own foods. We eat shelf-friendly, lifeless, pre-packaged foods that have been sterilized, pasteurized, and denatured, and we live in sterilized environments. As a result, the gut biome is suffering, which makes it more difficult for people to fight off bad bacteria and creates a variety of health issues.

The importance of a healthy gut flora cannot be underestimated. An unhealthy gut can manifest into many physical and psychological ailments, partially because about 85% of the immune system is in the gut. Only when the good and bad bacteria in the digestive system are balanced can the body function normally, without any digestive dysfunction.

Allow yourself this fall into the present more and more. And you will be afraid, because it is really a fall. You will be going into depths, and those depths are abysmal; there is no bottom, and we have become accustomed to floating on the surface. For many lives we have been just swimming on the surface; we have forgotten the depth of the ocean, of this reality. So when you start falling into depth you will become afraid, you will have a very deep, frightening, scary experience; you will be in panic.

That is the moment when you need a Master to say to you, "Don't be worried, there is nothing that can be lost, and that which can be lost is not worth keeping. That which is essential will remain with you, only the non-essential will be gone - and it is good that the non-essential go."

The man of awareness becomes the man of the essence. Personality consists of the non-essential.

-Rajneesh
