You……are not who you think you are. You see yourself as blood and bone, all physical and flesh. The Universe sees you as an amazing gift, a Master in disguise….one of the few brave, intrepid Souls that chose to experience your Earth-plane and change its Destiny. The next time you’re feeling ‘not so good’ about yourself, remember this and smile. ~ Creator

Many people are finally becoming acquainted with how plants such as cannabis are effective medicinally. Others are very familiar with the healing abilities of garlic, spinach, ginger and of course echinacea. However, there are so many others whose medicinal potential are rarely if ever mentioned and yet rival and even exceed those mentioned above in many areas.

Medicinal plants contain a wide array of chemical compounds. They have a distinct order to their perfection. Natural selection pressures push these plants to “try out” variations on molecules to enhance the plant’s odds of surviving st...

When you look at life one way, how can you not be happy with all the blessings that are thrown at you?
 
When you look at life another way, how can you help but be unhappy with the curves that life has thrown at you?
 
And there is much in between ecstatic and sorrowful. There is disappointing, there is let down, and there is so-so.
 
If you could soak in the treasure that life on Earth is, you would be elated all the time. You would know that life on Earth is remarkable, an amazing thing, and that you are here populating and receiving all the wonders of it. You would be amazed at all the connections and intersections and seeming coincidences and returns and bounces and delights and surprises and the myriad of twists and turns and turn-a-rounds.
 
Who on Earth could possibly think up all the stories in life, even in one person’s life? Who could write such stories? Who could keep writing them and another and another? Your life is a serial that goes on and on and has no ending. Like waves in the Ocean, there is another chapter and another chapter and another on into Infinity. Life is more than story, of course, you recognize that. And, yet, you are most interested in the story and how it will come out even for a while. You’ve got to know. You are impelled to come to some kind of understanding or conclusion.

I ponder a lot-that’s what I do. If I was paid to ponder I suppose by now I could have amassed quite a sum. But when I search for the position of “professional ponderer” I’m quickly reminded that the world is not ready- or perhaps simply has no need for a ponderer such as myself. However, there are potentially lucrative positions of similar title such as “Professional Pond Sweeper” and “Pond Liner Installer” -and so for the lure of the paycheck I’m occasionally beckoned by such opportunities.

But for now merely consider me in the c...

HJ: A deeply fulfilling, authentically happy life is within reach for anyone as long as they are willing to adopt the habits that lead to it without fail.  Happiness and fulfillment are no secret — great minds have been studying the key factors for thousands of years and the path has been clearly mapped.  Carl Jung was one of those pioneers in our modern age and developed his own set of 5 keys that lead to happiness and fulfillment without fail,  and they are revealed in the article below.

They should come as no surprise and yet are still extremely profound.  This is a great article and one would be wise to refer back to it from time to time as a reminder of what is truly important in life.
