Why the French state has a team of UFO hunters

...France is the only country in Europe to maintain a full-time state-run UFO (unidentified flying objects) department. There used to be one in the UK and another in Denmark but they closed down years ago due to budget cuts.

France's UFO unit consists of four staff, and about a dozen volunteers who get their expenses paid to go on site and look into reports of strange sightings in the skies...

They publish their results on their website which gets 30,000 hits a month. The team receives, on average, two UFO sightings a day. The department insists an 11-page form is filled out for each one. The idea is to provide details including photographs where possible but also weed out jokers and time-wasters.

6 Signs You May be a Peaceful Warrior

Peaceful_Warrior_by_VitisusRage

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.” –Khalil Gibran

Peaceful warriors are honorable, courageous and compassionate human beings who make a difference by having lived and lived well. Peaceful warriors are time-tested and pain-sharpened; having gone through hell in order to discover that heaven is within. Wisdom gained through tears.

Philosophy gained through laughter. Greatness gained through virtue. Strength gained through discipline. Peaceful warriors grab power by the throat and shake it into a state of humility, while also hugging the world in a mighty embrace of love and compassion. They bring value to valueless systems while also adding value where it already thrives.

What a rabbit taught me about being an empath

Insight and gifts come to us in many shapes and forms. When I spend time in nature a multi-dimensional dialogue always happens, much in the way that two people would speak with words; except in nature it is more of a a telepathic conversation. To reach that space where the ‘real conversation’ happens, we have to let go of everything else and find a space within, beyond judgement; beyond expectations; surrendering into the moment. That’s where the real conversation happens. You become at one with nature. You weave and dance together in a place of unity consciousness, where all souls unite. It’s divine.

As an empath, I am often happily reclusive; spending time on my own or with my very close loved ones; or spending time in nature in communion with my animal friends as far away from people as I can get. The other day I was walking in the countryside around Glastonbury. My walk was naturally semi-meditative. As I felt and worked with the energies of the land, I found a large colony of rabbits on the hill.

The Mind Blowing Intelligence Of Elephants

Elephants are known for being amongst the world’s most intelligent species. The elephant’s brain is similar to that of humans in terms of structure and complexity.

They exhibit a wide variety of behaviors, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, the use of various tools,  and of course compassion and self-awareness.

Even Aristotle, once said that elephants were “the animal which surpasses all others in wit and mind.”

Increased solar activity continues with newly numbered Region 2205 now fully visible - M7.9

Solar activity reached high levels in last two days and with newly numbered Active Region 2205 ('beta') now fully visible on the disk it is expected to remain elevated. This active region showed high flaring activity and Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) while rotating in and if it continues to do so Earth directed CMEs will be possible in the days ahead.

A strong solar flare reaching M7.9 (R2 - Moderate) was observed from it starting 09:26 UTC today. The event peaked at 09:47 and ended at 09:55 UTC. A 10cm Radio Burst lasting 6 minutes with peak flux of 229 sfu was associated with the event indicating a significant radio noise. This noise is generally short-lived but can cause interference for sensitive receivers including radar, GPS, and satellite communications.

DIY Therapeutic Baths That Can Change Your Life for the Better

By Carolanne Wright

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

If you feel that your health could use a boost, or you need a little extra care, a healing soak is one of the best ways to regain equilibrium, shed toxins and calm the mind. A perfect medium for children and adults alike, therapeutic baths not only help you relax but also gently balance the system.

View any health spa menu and you will usually find an array of different healing soaks. From weight loss to detoxification and anti-aging, the variety available is impressive. All the same, enjoying a spa treatment more than once every so often is usually too costly for the average person. This is where the beauty of creating a restorative bath at home comes in. For pennies on the dollar, we can detoxify and alleviate health complaints, while easing tension and stress.

Scientific Study Reveals “Conspiracy Theorists” Are The Most Sane Of All

I was so happy to finally see a study done on the psychology of conspiracy beliefs.  It goes through the importance of belief systems in the acceptance or rejection of ‘conspiracy theories.’

If you consider yourself awakened and seeking the truth – especially in government matters, people are quick to label you a crazy conspiracy theorist just so they can validate themselves.

In this study, a large group of commenters were examined on a news website, surrounding the topic of 9/11. Out of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist. Right away its evident more people are thinking critically about ‘conspiracies’ rather than just disputing them.

Key research shows we don’t need GMOs to feed the world…

Do we really need Monsanto’s GMOs to feed the world? Looking at the research and the studies, the answer is quite clear. Let’s take a look at the 8 proofs that we most certainly do not need GMOs to feed the world:

1. One Organic Rooftop Farm Can Feed 9000 People

One organic rooftop farm can feed 9000 people. They don’t use pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides, and they provide fresh produce to their community year-round (1). This is a big slap in the face to the biotech companies who lie, saying that GMO is needed to feed the world.

Daily Message ~ Wednesday November 5, 2014

Many of you have been taught that to think of yourself is to be selfish. However, loving yourself is the way to ensure you are balanced and whole and prepared to be everything you need to be, both for yourself and for others. This single belief system has kept people out of balance, exhausted, and disempowered for a very long time.

Giving your own care equal importance to everyone else’s can be difficult for those who have been taught that it is wrong. You have trouble discerning when you are self-loving, or when you are being selfish. There is a very simple way to tell, Dear Ones. Selfishness serves the one, being equally loving to yourself and everyone else serves the whole. ~Archangel Gabriel

The Path to Mastery: Day 64, Akbal 11

THE PATH TO MASTERY You are blessed with the gift of free will, which allows you to choose whatever path you wish to walk. Will you make choices based on fear or choices made from love of self, others and planet Earth? The choice is yours.

Reflect on the knowledge you have gained from your relationships with people, places and events. You have a unique set of circumstances that has given you much to reflect on. The question is how to integrate this knowledge so it becomes a part of you? How will you use these pieces of the puzzle to create your own set of rules and sense of identity? Once integrated, they become who you are and the source from where you pull your strength and courage. It is your wisdom and yours alone.

To be able to share your wisdom with others in a way that does not interrupt their walk of life is an art form. There is a fine line between sharing and expecting others to follow your advice. Whenever you give advice or suggestions to others, pay attention to the purpose behind your action. If on any level you have the expectation that they should follow your advice, your ego is in the way. If you feel any resentment or frustration when others do not do as you suggest, look within yourself to find why you have this pressing need to help or fix others.

Glenn Greenwald and Snowden: ‘Nobody Should Use Facebook’

During a Q&A in Canada, Glenn Greenwald was asked why his colleague and NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, wasn’t on any of the social media platforms — i.e., Facebook — and Greenwald didn’t mince words.

“He doesn’t use Facebook because he hates Facebook,” he said. “They’re one of the worst violators of privacy in history. Nobody should use Facebook.”

Greenwald did add that despite the difficulties of being the most wanted man in the world right now, he thought Snowden would be an engaging presence on Twitter, should he choose to go in that direction. Snowden practically lives his life online these days, he added, and “actually, before all this happened, before anyone knew Edward Snowden, it’s what he did anyways.”
