Sherlock Holmes, that master detective, was sitting in his favorite chair smoking his pipe and reading a book when he heard a knock at the door. It was his loyal friend and assistant, Doctor Watson.

"Ah, good morning, Watson. Don't you find it a bit warm to be wearing your red flannel underwear"

Doctor Watson was astonished by this brilliant stroke of deductive logic. "Holmes," Doctor Watson said, "how on earth did you guess that I was wearing my red flannel underwear?"

"Elementary, my dear Doctor Watson. You forgot to put your pants on. "

People are moving without pants - without awareness of what they are doing, of what they are not doing, of where they are going; and when you tell them the truth, they think you have revealed something great, "a great experiment in deductive logic".

Buddhas have been telling you simple truths. No logic is involved at all. Just looking at you is enough: you are not wearing pants! But you go on believing that you are wearing pants.

Changing the world and ourselves through compassion

Be kind and you will be well. It has been the cornerstone of Eastern philosophy for centuries.

But what if recognising our shared humanity was more than just a sentimental ideal? What if consciously practising kindness could change the wiring of your brain and make you live longer?

Practicing compassion with intention has a positive physiological effect on the body. It can lower blood pressure, boost your immune response and increase your calmness. 

Dr James Doty

This is neuroscience's latest frontier – a growing body of research that shows compassion could be the key to improved health, happiness and longevity.

Brain imaging reveals that exercising compassion stimulates the same pleasure centres associated with the drive for food, water and sex.

Other studies show it can be protective against disease and increase lifespan.

It proves, experts say, that not only are we hard-wired to be kind, but it is essential for the survival of our species.

3 Signs You are Transforming into Your True Self

What is your true self?

It is the you that exists at your highest excitement. It is the you that follows your passions at the height of your awareness. Your truest self is as aware as you can possibly be; you see what needs to be done in your immediate environment, in your life, relationships, everything and you do it to the best of your ability.

Becoming the most of ourselves is a life long process of learning, growing, understanding and flowing. The mistakes we make show us the solutions we can create. When we grow from the lessons we learn, we shift closer to our most real selves.

Community Living – The Answer As To How To Defeat The 1%

Source: www.gccalliance.org | Original Post Date: February 15, 2012 –

community-living-the-answer-as-to-how-to-defeat-the-1

This article is a response to a member of the arts and labor group of Occupy Wall Street, Nicole Demby’s excellent article titled, “The Fight Against Capitalism” printed in AdBusters, February 15, 2012.

Throughout recorded history, and even before that, people lived in communities/tribes and had as many things in common as they could, because tribal living simply made life easier for everyone involved. It was a protection against more hostile enemy tribes as well as the 1% of their day (and there has always been a 1%, since the establishment of using some sort of capital as a means of acquiring goods and services).

The 1% have always come against communal living and people having as many things in common as they could, because people become less of consumers and do not have to interact as much with the ruling or corporate entities, past or present.

Three Ways to Live Off the Grid

Live in a Foreign Country

Living in a foreign country sounds incredibly romantic and might be something we all wish we could do during the stretch of a lifetime alongside learning another language. It gets put up there with other vague ambitions such as ‘write an autobiography’ or ‘go bungee jumping in Australia’, but how many of us actually take the next step and go from traveler to inhabitant, no matter how brief the residency ends up being.

Language Leaps and the Information Shuffle

language shuffle

By Zen Gardner

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

So much can be told by language shifts. Both what’s being used more frequently in general as well as substantial new additions, and deletions, to the lexicon. This goes two ways. The controllers keep shifting their language and euphemisms to blanket their intentions, while the awakening community grabs hold of and proliferates empowering and revealing words and concepts that grow in usage at an astounding and truly inspiring rate.

This is a powerful manifestation of the awakening.

Swishing your mouth out with coconut oil may be a more effective and safer alternative to chemical mouthwashes, according to new research. 

A new study has proven for the first time that the oral use of coconut oil is effective in reducing plaque related to gingivitis, a common form of inflammation in the gum tissue of the mouth that occurs in response to bacterial biofilms (known as plaque) adhering to the surfaces of the teeth and which can lead to more serious oral condition known as periodontal disease.

Daily Message ~ Sunday April 12, 2015

Dear Ones, have you noticed how efforting, trying and forcing have become more and more difficult, while surrendering and flowing with intention is far more supported, easier and provides faster and more satisfying experiences? The first is about chasing results, the second is about attracting your highest results from your own space of beingness. Which feels better to you? ~Archangel Gabriel

Self Love Vs. Loving Another

You may reach a point when you have to choose between love of self and love of another in spite of yourself. One reclaims your power, the other gives it away. What you choose is ultimately up to you and how you want to live the remainder of your existence on your Earth-plane; empowered or enslaved. ~ Creator
