TIME IN NATURE  Today we suggest you spend as much time in Nature as possible. Do only those things that give you pleasure. Pay attention all day to how you feel, bringing up feelings of joy whenever any lower vibrational emotions come up. Be mindful of every word you utter and every thought that comes into your consciousness.

Go forth in joy!  Selamet!  Ahau 10

Waking Times

An individual’s view of health determinants is directly correlated to their sources and how they process information. Regardless of its accuracy, when something is repeated a sufficient number of times, people will start to believe it. The cancer and sunscreen industries have made it their mission to convince the world that sunlight is a primary cause of skin cancer, when it fact it has been shown to prevent it. In fact, considerable evidence shows that blocking the sun’s rays from reaching our skin with, for example sunscreen, significantly decreases our uptake of vitamin D levels, leading to higher mortality, critical illness, mental health disorders and cancer itself.

Are you ready to see the largest picture ever taken? For your information, it’s a whopping 1.5 billion pixel image (69,536 x 22,230) and on January 5th, NASA released an image of the Andromeda galaxy, our closest galactic neighbor, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The final image is composed of 411 Hubble images, and takes you through 100 million stars and travels over 40,000 light years! Well, a section of it does anyway.

After watching this fly-through video created by YouTuber daveachuk, I felt extremely tiny and insignificant… make sure you stick around and watch it till the end… seriously!

Well done, NASA. Our mind has been blown.

Year after year, the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies that protect global as well as individual health, comes out with a list of the top foods to buy organic, due to their exposure to chemicals, and the top foods you can buy conventionally grown due to the lower levels of exposure. Of course, if you can, always buy organic. We’re providing you this list because we know how hard it can be to buy organic all the time.

Here are the “dirtiest” fruits and veggies you should definitely buy organic:

• Apples
• Grapes
• Strawberries
• Celery
• Peaches
• Spinach
• Sweet bell peppers
• Imported nectarines...

• Everyone should consider his body as a priceless gift from one whom he loves above all, a marvelous work of art, of indescribable beauty, and mystery beyond human conception, and so delicate that a word, a breath, a look, nay, a thought may injure it.
• Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, what Buddha called ‘the greatest evil in the world.’ The friction which results from ignorance can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent. 
• …instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.
• The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.
• Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
• Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world. Our hearing extends to a small distance. Our sight is impeded by intervening bodies and shadows. To know each other we must reach beyond the sphere of our sense perceptions.
