LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - The publisher of a controversial and much-criticised study suggesting genetically modified corn caused tumours in rats has withdrawn the paper after a yearlong investigation found it did not meet scientific standards.

Reed Elsevier's Food and Chemical Toxicology journal, which published the study by the French researcher Gilles-Eric Seralini in September 2012, said on Thursday the retraction was because the study's small sample size meant no definitive conclusions could be reached. "This retraction comes after a thorough and time-consuming analysis of the published article and the data it reports, along with an investigation into the peer-review behind the article," the journal said in statement. At the time of its original publication, hundreds of scientists across the world questioned Seralini's research, which said rats fed Monsanto's GM corn suffered tumours and multiple organ failure.

Here in the spiritual realms we are observing with joy your excellent progress towards your awakening.  Your task remains to focus on holding the intent for humanity to awaken as divinely planned and intended.  You can really have no idea how effective you have all become at holding that intent, and because of that it is going to happen.  Remember, Love, God does not impose, does not override your free will, but It embraces you joyously when you open yourselves to receive what is always on offer.

Highlighted Aspects this Week

OUR NEW WEEK and our new month begin with a New MOON, at 4:22pm PST on Monday. This particular lunation feels like a bit of a relief to me, perhaps because it is the first one since our Full Moon on September 19 that does not include an eclipse as part of its lunar cycle.

And, our December New Moon is in Sagittarius, a fire sign known for its optimism, adventurous spirit and sense of humor — qualities we can all benefit from cultivating, especially given the intensity we’ve been through lately.

SAGITTARIUS is also the sign associated with our beliefs and belief systems, ideologies, life philosophies, religions, and understandings of life’s meanings. It makes sense, therefore, that the symbolic image associated with the 11th degree of Sagittarius (where the New Moon is located) brings forward themes of truth and perception:

“An explorer examines an archaic idol shaped like a crouching panther, set high above a village square. In the flickering light of a votive candle, its eyes appear alternately laughing and ominous.”

This visual image, from Martin Goldsmith’s book The Zodiac by Degrees, is accompanied by these descriptive phrases — which we can use to understand more fully the purposes of this week’s New Moon:

What is the point I wonder… if the only reason seems to be to leave! Pardon me but I do not get it. I keep seeing and listening to people that say they’re done with this life (so called spiritual people, light workers, shaman, way showers…) and more than anything that they will never come back once they leave.

I have news for you: You will come back. You will actually run back! Not because you’re nuts but because you spent ages in co-creating this amazing change, this almost unbelievable evolution of human kind, of a whole planet and beyond and you will not want to miss it for anything in the whole universe! For the whole universe for you is right here and right now. And the fact you still cannot remember it means you still cannot trust yourself!!

Because you, you, yes you are the one that choose to come. The fact that you got  a bit sidetracked while here and started believing your soul had been taken over by some beings agains GOD (which does not make an inch of sense by itself given that GOD is all that IS) and were put here against your will is only a little delay in your own schedule. But you can fix this is a matter of seconds if you so choose. By getting into that sacred space you only know and you only can reach that is the GOD IN YOU.

There's an incredible opening for us Star Babies this week... A Movement into The Heart.. a very real awakening... a giant step along the way... Come gather with Grandpaw Koyote, as we check this scene out...

God said:

It is a great relief to begin to see that you are responsible for your life. No longer can you point your finger to a cause outside you. It is a beautiful day when you begin to see that your mind is a beautiful tool. The same mind that can create havoc for you can also create peace for you. There you are.

At every moment you are at a crossroads. You have a choice of what you will create. War or peace. Joy or displeasure. Anger or love. Complaint or blessing. 

This is not a one-time action, you understand. It has to do with your disgruntlement or your good nature. It is not enough to decide today that you will have only joy in your life. A trend of your thinking has to change. Perhaps you have been complaining. Complain, and that is your mode. You are used to having something to complain about. Complaining must give some comfort, or why would anyone keep doing it?

Winter Storm Cleon, the third named winter storm of the 2013-14 season. Cleon will usher in a period of very cold weather across much of the western and northern U.S., along with zones of significant snowfall. Heavy snow is expected Tuesday and Tuesday night from east-central Nevada into primarily the mountains and high plateau of Utah and western Colorado, before tapering off Wednesday morning. The heaviest snow accumulations are expected in the Tetons and Beartooth Range of southwest Montana, northwest Wyoming, the Wasatch of Utah and mountains of Colorado, where over a foot of total snow may accumulate.
