Top-secret national security documents leaked to the Guardian newspaper reveal that the United States government compensated the tech companies that signed on to participate in the controversial NSA spy program known as Prism.

The Guardian published on Friday new documentation attributed to former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden in which it’s suggested that the US National Security Agency spent millions of dollars making sure the biggest names on the Internet were kept compliant with an international surveillance program disclosed by the leaker earlier this year.

Princess Diana's death in a Paris car crash has led to conspiracy claims

THE elite special forces officer behind a new claim that Princess Diana was killed by the SAS should be accepted as a credible witness, an expert on the circumstances of her death said last night.

The explosive new allegation that the Princess was killed by crack SAS soldiers acting on orders from MI6 emerged with the disclosure of a letter written by the officer’s mother-in-law. In it she claims he told his wife his crack unit “arranged” Diana’s death.

Ascension Starts With You – 24 August 2013, by Elizabeth

Thanks to Bill Ballard’s latest (see his YouTube video posted today), I was reminded yet again that each of us needs to do the work to attain ascension – again. Yes, all of you reading these words, all of us who live on the planet have ascended before. It may be news to some of you, but it’s in your face now for a reason. You’ve done this before, individually, more than once on other worlds; else you wouldn’t be here as a student in this very intense Schoolhouse Earth project. As a collective, WE are working towards a mass ascension, but each one of us needs to take responsibility for gaining self-mastery and raising up our own frequency levels.

Dear Reader,

I hope to find you well, and in good spirits.  Although I haven’t been reading many of the channeled messages lately, or other reports as to what’s going on along the spirtitual highways of ascension, from what I have read, September is going to be a big month in the way of  inner change.  The words “awakening”  jump at me from the texts, as I read some of the messages, and this ispired me to write what follows here, so if you feel so inclined to do so, read on………..

How Spiritual Practices Can Become Limitations

will's picture

Submitted by will on

Let me start out by saying that people are not here to be like Jesus or Buddha or Mohammad or any guru or spiritual leader. That's all a distraction. You're not here to try to be somebody else, you're here to discover your own Divine Self. If you try to be like someone else, you're just an imitation, an impersonator, an imposter. You can't be somebody else no matter how hard you try, you can only be yourself. Look at that for a moment, are you comfortable with it? If you find the thought disturbing at all, it's because there's parts of yourself you don't like.

Most spiritual practices arise from trying to imitate someone else. The prophet did something, and now everybody else believes if they do the same things the prophet did, they can be just like the prophet. People have been trying that for thousands of years, has it worked yet? Obviously not, or else we'd have a whole Planet full of Awakened Beings by now. What you do is only an expression, only a result, of what's inside of you. The key is to focus upon who you are Being, not what you are doing.

MESSAGE FROM THE ANGELS

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Your earth is a place of great and beautiful diversity. You were never meant to be the same. You were never meant to all be in agreement. You were never meant to force your opinions upon one another, nor were you intended to conform to the desires of one another. Instead, each of one you, like a beautiful facet of the gem of God’s love is intended to be a special, precious, and unique creation. Each one of you has your preferred way of being, your preferred way of looking, your preferred way of communicating, and your preferred way of flowing through life.

hlth dance alz 2.jpgINDIANAPOLIS -- "Are you ready to get on your feet today?" dance teacher Dana Hart exhorts a dozen or so seniors and their caregivers gathered in the common room at the nursing home. At first, the elders look anything but ready, slowly rising from their chairs to their feet.
