God said:

Everyone and everything exists within you. You cast out a net, and you bring in the net you cast.

Now, this sounds very much like: “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” I ask you to let go of the concept of equal trade, for, when you are generous and good, you also can be zapped while someone else who is not generous or so good in your terms may reap a fortune. Then you may cry out: “Unfair.”

Unfair it may be, yet protesting amounts to your slowing yourself down. You can cry, “Unfair” all your life, and it gets you nowhere. Then your image of yourself is of someone who has been treated unfairly. This is not the image you want to carry. You don’t want to hold the image of yourself as someone stepped on or betrayed, certainly not by God or life or whatever you may call it.

Remember, you are living in a world that could be named Storyland. Can there be a good story without something out of balance? Even if all turns out wonderful, where can story be if you know with certainty what is going to happen?

Stories in the world will never become extinct, and all stories do not have happy endings. Themes can be behind the scenes for you to discover, yet the story itself has to be told, read, or enacted on a stage or in a movie or on TV - and in life.

With all the mainstream media mental junk food now feeding humanity almost daily guaranteed lies in order to secure the stated agendas of the new world order, I want to pose a divider question. That’s a name I made up for a question that is sure to divide people. Nevertheless, a question that deserves attention and consideration from all critical thinkers and truth seekers. Today I pose this simple question only because it cuts through much of today’s subjectivism, it tramples on people’s belief systems, religions, opinions, political persuasion and someday it may even determine whether you live or die. It’s a question we should all be able to answer with understanding and conviction because when we do we’ll realize that doing can unlock many answers for humanity. The question is – What exactly is the truth movement?

The term ‘food chain’ refers to the steps that constitute the movement of food from its starting point in the field to its end point on the fork. This incorporates processing and ultimate consumption.

The food chain operates within a dynamic life cycle. One which expresses the inseparable interconnection between soil, plant, animal and man – and ends back in the soil again. So that if any one element of this cycle is poisoned or weakened, the other three elements must also be directly affected.

When working at its optimum equilibrium, this cycle becomes a dynamic wheel of health. Each link in it supporting and reinforcing the other, resulting in enriched and balanced soil fertility and at the other end, genuinely nutritious food. Nature doing the work and the farmer acting in support of nature’s flow.

by Marco Torres| From pollution to politics, the era of deception and duplicity has reached new heights and hijacked almost every form of media in the world. In the last frontiers for truth such as the internet, disinformation operations are in full swing to discredit and destroy any semblance of authentic and factual information available to the public.

How many more lies will people around the world accept as truth? Some say a global awakening is taking place, but at what cost? Will it take the destruction of most of the earth and its resources before people are enlightened?

The escalating media and political reports are so far fetched, cunning, and so beyond reality, it’s as if each is trying to top the other with one sinister plot after the next.

HJ: To develop condition-less compassion for others is a fast path to enlightenment. Compassion overlaps greatly with gratitude as well producing a number of beneficial effects on the mind-body-spirit triad and generally improving the conditions of ones life greatly: happiness, health, abundance and so on…

The Daily Compassion Audit: A Self-Check to Minimise Inadvertently Causing Suffering to Others.

Dr Stan Steindl, Clinical Psychologist, Psychology Consultants Brisbane

Compassion is the sympathetic and active alleviation of suffering in others. At the other end of the spectrum is malevolence and cruelty, intentionally causing others to suffer. But what about all the murky waters in between?

I remember it quite clearly lying in agonizing pain laboring my third child. My unborn son was in a position preventing his imminent birth. I was at home with my midwife sensing that things weren’t progressing as they should, as they did with my previous births. Time had slowed to a crawl yet I wasn’t making it any closer to the finishing line.

In this time I never worried or became anxious. Somehow in this moment I knew surrender was the way. I fell into rhythm with a force outside myself and through the process of having my son’s position manipulated through 2 excruciating contractions I surrendered.

In my surrender I knowingly trusted that all as it should be and that no matter what, in some fashion, there would be a conclusion.

I couldn’t define how I would get there. I couldn’t worry my way through in self-made scenarios. I relinquished control and surrendered to a force that was with me, one that was always with me.
