There is a growing belief that, among the physical layers of the human being there are also non-visible layers, such as the aura, sometimes called the biofield. This biofield is made up of electromagnetic fields and energy structures that contain information for helping the systems of the human body and work properly. This biofield is thought to interact with the human body, and appears as a hologram that harnesses the power of frequency, vibration, electricity, and magnetism so that we can experience life in the material realm.

Deep, huh?

There’s no debating that humans have greatly scarred the Earth. And, there’s no better way to see the extent of that damage than via aerial images. Below are six NASA satellite images that show massive deforestation in many parts of the world.

According to NASA, the state of Rondônia in western Brazil—once home to 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres), an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas—has become one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state’s forests have been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest—an area larger than the state of West Virginia—had been cleared.

Thanks to the early work of whistle blowers like Charlotte Iserbyt, parents are becoming aware that government-run public education may not be right for their children anymore.

With the recent addition of the disastrous Common Core policies sweeping through public education in the United States, parents are also being forced to sit by as their children are subjected to military style training programs involving active shooters, forced vaccination trials without parental consent, unhealthy school lunches, and constant Wi-Fi electromagnetic radiation exposure (a class 2B carcinogen).It is no wonder that many parents are desperate to step outside the current paradigm in search of a better way. Solutions and alternatives are taking hold and beginning to gain popularity for frustrated and angry parents, communities, and children. If you have considered joining the exodus from government-run public education, here are some places to start.

For years I have said “we’re all philosophers whether we know it or not”, yet more recently I have also come to understand that we’re all meditators.

There are a few common barriers to the ongoing conscious practice of meditation in our current era. Many people have wanted to try meditation but never have, or they have tried but gave up after a relatively short time. This is due to different reasons, such as they didn’t think that they were learning anything, it was too tedious and ineffective, they didn’t want to invest the time required and/or they felt they didn’t have the capacity to become advanced at it.

Yet meditation is just like exercise—if we want to make our bodies fit for living or our brains fit for meditation, we need to keep at it...

Many of you are still confused about the difference between self love and selfishness. Self love means you treat yourself with the same love, honour, care and respect as you treat others. You see yourself as being equally deserving and allow that time and nurturing for yourself, knowing that it will allow you to be your best you, which will, in turn, benefit others. Selfishness worries not about anyone else, at all. Self love comes from a place of unity consciousness and connection to the limitlessness of Source. Selfishness believes that there isn’t enough for everyone and acts from a place of disconnection, fear and lack. Self love is embracing the divine flow of the universe, allowing love to flow to, and through you. Selfishness is very one-sided.

Make no mistake about it, Dear Ones. Moving into self love, into seeing yourself as being as vitally important and deserving as every other being in the universe, is the firm foundation all other things will be built upon. It is accepting your worth, allowing your healing, and your divinity to shine forth, which is what will support your highest service and most satisfying life expression. ~Archangel Gabriel
