Debate around the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) continues to mount. The recently-released 6,000 page agreement, encompassing 18,000 categories of goods and services and a region that accounts for 40 percent of the global economy, hasn’t been ratified by the U.S. Congress or Senate. Yet, the U.S. President has made his support clear with statements such as, “We are both soon to be signatories to the TPP agreement,” a comment Obama made on Nov. 19, 2015, after his bilateral meeting with new Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Dear One, you are a complete miracle, just as you are. You are a slice of divinity in human form, a compilation of cells and systems held together with light and magic, made of love – a member of the ground crew, fearlessly driving the profound Shift on your planet. You are a breathtaking, glorious creature, endlessly fascinating and delightful. This is why we love you so. Don’t you think it’s time you love yourself, too? ~Archangel Gabriel

I have loved you from the beginning. My love for you deepened at your decision to join this Earth-plane and again at your birth. Now, in this very moment, I love you more than I ever have. You are a most perfect Creation of The Universe and for that I thank you. ~ Creator

God said:

When life, as it appears, becomes too much for you, rest and keep on, rest and keep on.

Everything is changing in the world. You are going to change. Your world is going to change. Life in the world does not stay still.

Even a beautiful sunrise does not stay still. A sunrise rises in an instant. A minute ago it wasn’t a full sunset. Half the sun was still beneath the horizon. Now it is a full sun. The sun keeps rising. In a few minutes the sun is so bright in the sky that you can see the sunlight and its reflection sparkling brightly, and a glimpse of the outline of the sun is not to be seen.

Then at night the sun will sink beneath the horizon again and will not be seen at all. Yet it is certain that the sun is still awake. The sunrise may be on the other side of world. The sun will come up again on your side of the world.

And so is happiness, and so is ease, and so is peace. These qualities are always here waiting to arise, the same way you wait for them eagerly. Hark to the sunrise. The Earth's sun always rises.

You can know that sun's dawning is imminent. The sun doesn't let you down. At this moment, may you, rise to meet the sun. Be here to greet the sun as it comes to greet you.

The sun is always waiting for you. When it is night, the sun is still here. When it is raining, the sun follows the rain in confidence. Be you like the sun and rise. Keep on rising.

Dolphins are one of the most amazing and intelligent animal species on the planet. Their playful nature, friendly behavior and remarkable intelligence make people all over the world adore them. Moreover, it appears that dolphins demonstrate skills and awareness previously attributed only to humans. 

Human-like intelligence

Scientists at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia in the US, used MRI scanners to map the brains of dolphins and then compared the received data with that of other intelligent mammals, particularly primates. The scans showed that dolphin brains are up to five times larger for their body size compared to other animals of similar size. At the same time, their neocortex, a part of the brain responsible for higher thinking and emotion processing, was particularly large.

Can mindfulness practice (meditation) help vanquish mental disorders?

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 7.7 million Americans suffer from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder – approximately 3.3% of the US population when combined. Of these, approximately 40% of the individuals with schizophrenia and 51% of those with bipolar are untreated in any given year, but with the new studies being presented by Juan Santoyo and his peers, there could be strong scientific proof that meditation could help even the most debilitating psychological disorders.

Juan Santoyo is studying neuro and contemplative sciences, and he isn’t doing it ‘just to tickle his fancy,’ but to solve the real problem of mental disorders in our society. He presented his findings at the 12th Annual International Scientific Conference of the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

The ‘How’ and ‘Why’ ISIS has been growing financially is finally coming to the surface after Turkey downed a Russian jet.

After discussing recent geopolitical events with world leaders during the Paris climate talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the vast majority of leaders agree that Turkey’s attack on a Russian bomber was unnecessary, as the aircraft was in no way threatening Turkey.

He went on to say that Russian authorities now have additional evidence that the aircraft was shot down with the express purpose of protecting Islamic State oil deliveries. The oil from IS-controlled fields is being exported to Turkey on an industrial scale, he said.
