3 Powerful Ancient Herbs to Raise Consciousness and Expand Awareness

Justin Faerman, Contributor
Waking Times

Everything that we put into our bodies has some effect on our consciousness and the functioning of our mind, from the air we breathe to the foods we eat to the liquids that we drink and everything in between. Even common foods like fruits, grains and vegetables have powerful effects on consciousness and the energies of the body and mind although few are sensitive enough to notice as it requires a deeper relationship and connection with oneself.

But with that being said there is a special class of herbs and foods that are generally stronger and more pronounced in their effects and have long-recorded histories as powerful influencers of consciousness, awareness and our physical and mental state. These herbs and foods are frequently classified as medicinal and, if they are strong enough, psychedelic in the great herbal and ancient medical traditions of the East and West. Although some of the latter may be quite extreme in their effects, that’s not to say they are any better than the mellower plants and foods, but simply different. Generally speaking, something consumed everyday over the course of a lifetime or a few months or years will have a more permanent effect on the body and mind than something consumed once in a blue moon.

Daily Message ~ Monday February 1, 2016

If you are reactive on any given day, it is simply an indicator that there is a part of you that is looking for your own, tender, self care. It does not make you a bad, or non-spiritual person. It does however, show that you are out of balance. Your reactivity is merely a cry from self to self for love, support and balance. The more you make that a priority, the more you will be able to consistently treat people in the way that is your preference – with love, patience, and acceptance. ~Archangel Gabriel

Be Good to Yourself

God said:

What will life be like when you become good to yourself? This is not self-centeredness We are talking about. This is when you will be pleasant and welcoming of yourself, knowing you are here to be kind even to yourself. Not forgiving yourself, none of that. Accepting. Accepting that you are learning along the way. Accepting that you don’t know all there is to know about life and yourself and most certainly accepting that you don’t know all there is to know the routes others are to take or to diverge from. You are not a decider of another soul.

You don’t know everything. Not by a long shot do you begin to know everything. Now you will find you are losing judgment and bravado and coming closer and closer to Truth.

It may have seemed to you that you have the right to assert yourself over others. One great lesson to learn is that you do not have to assert yourself and come out on top. What does coming out on top mean anyway? Does coming out on top mean you must declare yourself a winner? To what avail? An assault is not an accomplishment. For what reason would you assault another human being on any dimension of life? You do not make yourself big. You make yourself small.

There is another kind of madness - that too has to be called madness because of a certain similarity - that is going beyond the rational mind. One is falling below the rational mind; the other is falling above the rational mind, falling upwards. In both cases the rational mind is lost: in one you become unconscious, in the other you become superconscious. In both cases the ordinary mind is lost.

In one you become totally unconscious, a certain integrity arises in you. And you can watch: in mad people there is a certain integrity, a certain consistency - they are one. You can rely on a madman.

He is not two, he is utterly one. He is very consistent because he has only one mind, that is the unconscious. The duality has disappeared. And you will find a certain innocence also in a madman.

He is like a child. He is not cunning, he cannot be. In fact, he had to become mad because he could not be cunning. He could not cope in a cunning world. You will find a certain simplicity, purity, in a madman.

If you have watched mad people you will fall in love with them. They have a kind of togetherness.

They are not divided, they are not split; they are one. Of course, they are one against reality, they are one in their dream world, they are one in their illusions, but they are one.

Night sky guide for February 2016

February 2016 starts with the conjunction between the Moon and Mars. The pair will be located in the constellation Libra and visible to the naked eye or through a pair of binoculars on February 1.

The best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere - New Moon - falls on February 8. 

The Moon will reach full phase – making it visible for much of the night, lying almost directly opposite the Sun in the sky at 18:21 UTC on February 22.

  • February 1 - Conjunction between the Moon and Mars - 10:10 UTC. The Moon and Mars will make a close approach, passing within 2°39' of each other. At the moment of closest approach, the Moon will be at mag -11.8, and Mars at mag 0.4, both in the constellation Libra. They will be too widely separated to fit within the field of view of a telescope, but will be visible to the naked eye or through a pair of binoculars.

Day 256: Emotions

Many in the Earth Realm do all they can to deaden emotions labeled as negative. However, we encourage you to embrace all emotions, for within them lies the clues to finding true happiness and joy. When you are sad, there will come a time when you will say, “Enough of this sadness, I am going to change my attitude and behaviors so I can experience happiness.” Thus, the sadness leads you to your desired goal of happiness.

At times, it feels good to express sorrow or pain, for within these emotions, you are connecting to others on a very deep level, which has love as a foundation. We suggest you pay attention to your emotions as they arise. Do they have a message for you to pay attention to? Are they a means to express your love for self or others?

Any emotion can be taken to the extreme, whether it is considered to be positive or negative. Balance is the key, for when one is centered, he remains in control. Whereas when one allows himself to remain in a state of extreme emotions such as grief or giddiness, he can easily lose control of his reality and become lost on a side path.

Watch: Dad Uses Cannabis Oil To Treat Three Year Old Epileptic Daughter

by Rajie Kabli, Collective Evolution

Alex Repetski is your average dad, but to his three year old daughter, Gwenevere, he could be a hero. He’s spent the last 18 months and more than 800 hours reading through studies and medical journals, researching CBD and its healing properties, to help her with the tonic, myoclonic, and clinical seizures she was having — sometimes up to 50 a day. She was diagnosed with epilepsy and, as her EEGs revealed, was experiencing constant subclinical seizure activity throughout the day. It may not have looked like she was having a seizure from the outside, but at the brain level there were neurons firing constantly, and such activity can produce significant brain damage.

The Big “If” – What If Marijuana and Hemp Had Never Been Prohibited?

By Ethan Indigo Smith
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

The Big “If”

The history of marijuana and hemp prohibition is a dark and shady story with all the makings of a diabolical thriller. In a dystopian world, shady oligarchs institute prohibition in order to benefit their institutions in the short term, leading to the inception of a police state in which sustainable agriculture is ridiculed, shamanic medicine is scorned, and generations are forced into punitive situations as a result of the plant’s contraband status.

Now, I don’t normally dwell in the “what-if’s” and rarely speculate about the “what-might-be’s” either; I think it’s more important to consider the “what-is”. But in fact, if we concentrate on the “what-is”, we can more easily ponder the “what-if” (our potential) and, importantly, more decisively define “what-will-be” (our future).

The Oil-igarchy: How Big Oil Conquered The World

By James Corbett
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

This is the story of how the oil-igarchy is on the verge of monopolizing life itself.

Oil. From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the petrochemical industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world.

Parts of that story are well-known: Rockefeller and Standard Oil; the internal combustion engine and the transformation of global transport; the House of Saud and the oil wars in the Middle East. Other parts are more obscure: the quest for oil and the outbreak of World War I; the petrochemical interests behind modern medicine; the Big Oil money behind the “Green Revolution” and the “Gene Revolution.”
