Who knew that animal poo could be converted into jet fuel for commercial airlines? Well, it can! United Airlines will begin regular flights between LA and San Francisco which will run on 30% biofuel. This fuel is a combination of farm waste and traditional jet fuel. Testing has reported no loss in engine performance and there are no noticeable disadvantages for passengers (vis-à-vis unpleasant odours).

The entire aviation industry has been under media scrutiny for its substantial carbon footprint, as they account for 2% of worldwide greenhouses gas emissions. United’s Managing Director for Environmental Affairs and Sustainability, Angela Foster-Rice, said in a press conference that “This partnership underscores United’s efforts to be a leader in alternative fuels as well as our efforts to lead commercial aviation as an environmentally responsible company”. The use of green bio jet fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emission by as much as 80% when compared to tradition fuel. Kudos to United Airlines for setting an example for the industry.

From nature’s touch to nature’s love and nature’s hideaway to natures “calling”. Mother Nature is always giving, always balancing and always there for us. A place of healing, inspiration and energy. Her euphoric embrace binds the cells of our being restoring tranquility and effervescence. Mother nature is cleansing. This cleanse that nature provides, knits comfort and understanding into our brains and our bloodstream.

A study released in 2012 by Psychologists Zelenski and Nesbit, exemplified how it is we connect emotionally and physiologically to nature and the environment around us. In this collection of research titled “Nature’s Relatedness” a priority goal of theirs was “to determine whether the association between nature relatedness and happiness is due to a general sense of connectedness or a more specific link with nature.”

Two “scales” went public across many regions. The first, was a scale where people rated how they disagreed/agreed with a statement that had to do directly with nature; such as: “I believe nature to be an important part of my spirituality.”

El Salvador previously took steps toward banning glyphosate, the potential carcinogen found in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.

Farmers and activists for natural agriculture in El Salvador successfully resisted efforts by the U.S. government to tie foreign aid to the use of GMO seeds, in the latest attempt to link relief money with profits for Monsanto, the controversial multinational agribusiness giant.

In 2013, the U.S. offered El Salvador $277 million in aid through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a foreign aid agency established under President George W. Bush. Then, in 2014, Dahr Jamail reports for Truthout, U.S. officials started putting increased pressure on the Central American country to make “economic and environmental policy changes” in return for receiving the next phase of the aid package. A key part of the disagreement involved programs to provide locally produced seeds to poor farmers, which officials argued violated the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement by favoring local products over those produced by multinational corporations.

They day you were taught that magic didn’t exist and things were “just your imagination” was a sad day, indeed. For with the loss of those two things you lost your sense of wonder for the world, and moved into constraint and self doubt. It, in effect, taught you to dismiss the Now and the appreciation and endless possibilities that exist from there. This, for many of you, was when you started to dismiss your inner child and your inner knowingness, which created a deep separation within yourself.

But it is not too late! You are now your own loving parent, and that part of you is still there, waiting to be recognized and honoured and invited to play. Bring that inner child to the forefront and allow him or her to bring the delight back to your Now, to see the world through the eyes of innocence and potential! It will not only make your world filled with magic and wonder again, it will be integrating yourself back into wholeness, lightness, fun and joy. It is the ultimate act of self love to recognize, honour, nurture, and reintegrate all parts of yourself. ~Archangel Gabriel

These are big subjects and well worth investigation. Knowing the mechanics of the matrix we find ourselves in is extremely empowering and liberating. There’s a saying, “If you’re not wondering if you’re under mind control, you probably are.”

Think about that one for a minute.

I find that profoundly true. The truly awake and aware are so intensely conscious of their thoughts and impulses and the information coming at them that they question everything. And so it should be. We’re in a massively manipulated world by forces many of which are beyond our comprehension. Knowledge-wise we grasp much of what is at play. Experientially we understand even more.

But intuitively we can really round out the picture. This is, if we dare to listen to our hearts and tune into the vast Universal storehouse of true information.

God said:

When you feel downhearted, you share with everyone in the world who is also downhearted, for you are not reaching for the stars. You are not aspiring enough. You are being too literal in the world. Catch the stars instead.

It is not for you to wait for the world-at-large to inspire you.

Stars have guided seafarers for ages. It’s time now for the stars to guide you and inspire your heart. The world isn’t enough to keep you sailing on the bounty main. There is a tendency for the world to inveigle you and then perhaps drop you off in the middle. Of course, actually it is you yourself who lets yourself drop. If the world is the hot stove, you burn your fingers on it over and over again. The world simply isn’t big enough for you.

The world may be too dense for you to swim through to the other shore. There is vaster than the world. Let’s face it. The world does not know itself either. The world hasn’t reached its depths nor its heights as yet. You are the same.

Your heart requires deeper. Your heart desires to go beyond the starting line. Your interpretation of yourself may be hiding out with the wrong crowd. When all is said and done, the mundane doesn’t begin to inspire you enough.

Inspire means to breathe in. It is necessary to breathe in more deeply. The world is more like exhalation, beloveds. You are to inhale and breathe in your True Self. You exceed the power of the world you see before you.

“Some people never go crazy, what truly horrible lives they must live.”

"We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities; we are eaten up by nothing.”

“Nobody can save you but yourself and you’re worth saving. It’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it.”

Many years ago, a well known book critic in San Francisco, California, named Stephen Kessler uttered the following words about Charles Bukowski: “Without trying to make himself look good, much less heroic, Bukowski writes with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness which sets him apart from most other ‘autobiographical’ novelists and poets. Firmly in the American tradition of the maverick, Bukowski writes with no apologies from the frayed edge of society.”
