The Magic Of Laughter

RJ Spina, Contributor
Waking Times

Isn’t it amazing how much better everything is when we enjoy a hearty laugh? Our whole outlook changes. Whatever perceived misfortune we were experiencing is gone, even if just for one glorious moment. Sometimes when we find something truly hilarious it lift us up and changes our outlook permanently. The power of laughter can heal old wounds, both literally and figuratively, demonstrably display the ridiculousness of our own behavior, teaching us and transforming us all the while we experience great joy. Laughter can even magically turn sworn enemies into trusting confidants.

A good sense of humor is essential to experiencing the richness of life; the subtle and not so subtle intricacies and nuances that are captured while observing the absurdity of it all. So powerful laughter can be that our body weeps because it cannot contain the pure joy we are experiencing. It brings a smile to our face  reminiscing about a great laugh we experienced or pondering the next one that’s right around the corner.

Daily Message ~ Monday January 19, 2015

The idea that you are ever wounded in a way that is beyond repair is an absolute fallacy. You, each and every one of you, have an inner template of complete wellness, balance, and wholeness. Healing is simply a matter of allowing yourself back into that state of completeness. ~Archangel Gabriel

Mercury Retrograde Shenanigans and Opportunities

What happens when Mercury prepares to go retrograde in a day's time? Well, I just received 20 blank emails for one thing, and didn't receive a whole bunch of other emails that have been sent to me! Mercury loves a bit of computer/technology shenanigans. When you put him in Aquarius, which a) governs technology and b) is ruled by Uranus the planet who loves all things unpredictable, don't be surprised if things like this are happening!

If you are expecting an email or text and you don't receive it - follow up with the person. Likewise if you send something important and don't hear back, follow up.

On the upside, Mercury retrograde periods are fantastic for going back over things that have been left unfinished - contracts, communications, conversations and projects. They open doorways for things that need re-doing and re-viewing. Something or someone from the past can come up for the purpose of finishing unfinished business or re-connecting in a new way.

Mercury Retrograde gets a bad rap but as much as he can be a bit of a trickster with communications, ultimately his job is to ensure that everything is as clear as possible. He says: re-negotiate that contract, re-do that piece of writing, renew that connection, re-visit that project, re-visit that conversation.

Has Mercury Retro paid you a visit yet?

Just Label It – We Have A Right To Know And Here’s Why

Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: December 19, 2014 –

It’s fitting that Michael J. Fox stars in this video, given the fact that he’s a long time sufferer of the second most common neurodegenerative disease on the planet, Parkinson’s disease. It’s a disease that several recent studies have linked to pesticides, like Monsanto’s ‘glyphosate’ Roundup herbicide, and some of which are already built into GMO crops like corn, soybeans and more.

That being said, it’s also important to note that a recent study published in the journal Biomedical Research International found that Roundup herbicide is 125 more toxic than regulators have claimed. You can read more about that here.

Consciousness: The Bridge Between Science And Religion

Source: www.peterrussell.com | Original Post Date: July 4, 2013 –

Science and religion often seem poles apart–and in many ways they are. But I believe the two can, and will eventually be, united; and their meeting point will be human consciousness.

That we are conscious beings is the most obvious fact of our existence. Indeed, all we ever know are the thoughts, images, and feelings arising in our consciousness. Yet as far as Western science is concerned, there is nothing more difficult to explain. Why should the complex processing of information in the brain lead to an inner personal experience? Why doesn’t it all go on in the dark, without any awareness? Why do we have any inner life at all?

This paradox–the undeniable existence of human consciousness set against the absence of any satisfactory scientific account for it–suggests there may be something amiss with the current scientific worldview. Most scientists assume that consciousness emerges in some way or other from insentient matter...

When Science Gets Dismissed As “Alternative”

When Science Gets Dismissed As “Alternative”

By Lissa Rankin MD

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

I gave Grand Rounds at One Medical in San Francisco. For those of you not familiar with Grand Rounds, it’s a lecture where all the doctors gather in the hospital to learn about the latest research. The lectures tend to be dry- lots of data, lots of slides, lots of science- and it’s not the sort of format that lends itself to debate or discussion afterwards.

I’ve been speaking all over the country on my book tour for Mind Over Medicine, and most of the audiences are a mix of empowered patients, conscious doctors, alternative health care providers, and hospital staff. I’m also training very open-minded doctors in the Whole Health Medicine Institute, so I have some experience speaking to doctors.

Fast radio burst from a distant source captured in real-time

A short, sharp flash of radio waves from a mysterious source up to 5.5 billion light years from Earth has been detected in real-time by CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope in eastern Australia. 

Swinburne University of Technology PhD student, Emily Petroff, 'saw' the burst live - a first for astronomers.

Lasting only milliseconds, the first such radio burst was discovered in 2007 by astronomers combing old Parkes data archives for unrelated objects. Six more bursts, apparently from outside our Galaxy, have now been found with the Parkes telescope and a seventh with the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico.

Astronomers worldwide have been vying to explain the phenomenon.

"These bursts were generally discovered weeks, months or even more than a decade after they happened. We are the first to catch one in real time, " Ms Petroff said.

Is ‘Organic Ready’ Corn a Solution for GMO Cross-Contamination?

By Carolanne Wright

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

With increasing demand on the global market for foodstuffs free of genetically modified organisms, U.S. farmers face a serious economic dilemma. Even those who grow non-GMO conventional or organic crops are at risk for economic losses due to cross-contamination with genetically modified pollen. Corn shipments rejected by China, which were contaminated with the genetically modified Bt gene, have already cost American farmers over $4 billion since November 2013. Projections indicate that these losses will only gain momentum as more people wake up to the dangers of GMOs around the world. Outright GMO bans have already been implemented by several countries like France, Russia and China.

Creative solutions are needed — and soon. As luck would have it, plant breeder Frank Kutka has been working for nearly 15 years to develop a breed that has the ability to prevent cross-contamination in corn.

The Forgotten History of Vaccinations You Need to Be Aware Of

Dr. Mercola
Waking Times

Vaccines are one of the most controversial medical therapies, and it’s impossible to make an informed decision unless you know both sides of the story. In the process of knowing both sides, the historical context is critical.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, is a nephrologist who has committed the latter part of her medical career to exposing the “lost history” of vaccinations.

Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC commented that this is one of the rare books that conducted in-depth research documenting the medical history related to mass vaccination programs and infectious diseases.

Release the Ego – Transform the World

By Nanice Ellis

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

There is enough for everyone. Our magnificent earth provides an abundance of food, energy, natural medicine, and building supplies that could easily meet the needs of everyone on this planet. Mother Earth does not charge money for any of these things, but our artificial economic system creates lack, scarcity and a slave civilization. We are killing our world and ourselves with poison food, toxic water, and polluted air, not to mention depression, anxiety, poverty and a host of other socio-economic issues – all caused or related to the global economic system.

It appears very easy to blame corrupt world leaders, governments, corporations and a host of other problematic sources — but the system continues because we agree to it. Perhaps, our agreement is complacent, but nonetheless, our lack of non-agreement perpetuates the dysfunction.

 Sedation by Sound Bite

Julian Rose, Contributor
Waking Times

Millions upon millions of educated – and even aware people, all over the world, are succumbing to a new virus ‘SBS’, or ‘Sound-Bite Syndrome’. Its symptoms are best described as an inability to concentrate on anything meaningful for anything other than a very short passage of time.

To concentrate the mind so as to read something that requires a certain depth of thought or fuller cognisance, is becoming an endangered skill.

Now that is a truly shocking fact. One that should register high on the shocking fact ratio. It should jolt us all into recalling the vital role that genuine communication plays in the passing of essential knowledge and inspiration – including lyrical poetry and vivid prose.

Wherever You May Be, Can Truth Be Far Behind?

Let’s look at everything in a new way. Why on Earth look at everything the same old way? Why be bound with boundaries?

Life may be compared to an escalator that keeps going up. If you have been getting off at the second floor all the time, note that there are other floors above, and each floor contains something that the floor below did not. Of course, in a department store, the 5th floor may not be more wonderful than the 4th floor. When it comes to consciousness, each floor has different offerings, and each floor builds on the one before. Each floor is golden in the sense that this is the floor you are on and where you belong until you leap to what We call a higher floor.

Is each floor easier to assimilate? Yes and no, yet there is nothing to question. You don’t want to go back to a lower floor, and so you rise higher, ready or not. When you rise, you are ready, no matter how stretched you may feel. After all, you did advance to a new floor.

Of course, in life the floors are not so easily identified. You may have risen to the 7th floor without realizing it. Or, let us consider, that you have always been on one magnificent floor. This is closer to the Truth. There is something great about discovering what floor you are on, and you may hardly believe that you have been on the top floor all along. You just weren’t able to read the signs until, gradually or abruptly, you spotted the floor number you are on and are amazed.

From The Get Go

Right from the get go, we are drilled with the message that we are sinners. We stand accused and assume our guilt. The trial is short. It feels like there is nothing that can be done. The stealth of the enemy is part of its strategy. It was a murderer from the beginning. Choking the precious connection we feel to the true identity slowly decreases the sense of worth. Most people never question it. Maybe this decreasing lack of self-worth is part of the reason we feel compelled to hang on to the traditional belief in Jesus. Maybe another part of the reason is lack of connection with the soul.

That we are one with what is always forever eternal is the bottom line to the gospel message. Many have missed this point because of the choice to take the story of Jesus literally like everyone else. Risking eternal damnation and social abandonment was never an option. Few alternatives existed other than to become identified with our sinfulness. We got glued to it. The circumstances appeared to be outside of our control. Justice had no grounds. The defense was non-existent because of the automatic agreement to guilt. From the get go there was powerlessness, hopelessness and defeat due to lack of awareness of the soul.

When you love, when you really love, there are no conditions. It is unconditional. You love for the sheer joy of it. And love is absolute - it knows no wavering, it knows no hesitation.

The Medicine Wheel of Time and Karma

The Medicine Wheel of Time and Karma

By Jennifer Deisher

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen all at once” ~ Albert Einstein

Time in the spiritual world doesn’t exist as we perceive it on the Earthly plane. Spiritual “time” is  relative to our karmic experiences and whether or not we choose to transcend – to live only in the Now and learn the lessons the universe brings to our attention, the “karmic wheel” if you will. The medicine wheel, as it’s known in Native American Indian culture, represents a karmic, peaceful balance with the Earth and each other.
