Remarkable and incomprehensible phenomena have been observed throughout human history – phenomena which, without any logical explanation, can only be described as miracles. Surprisingly, a majority of the human population believes in the concept of miracles, but rarely are these occurrences discussed openly in public forums. Yet this type of mysticism is embedded into various cultures throughout the world, in all stages of human history. Buddhism is a great example, a faith that is abundant with scriptures of human beings with superpowers, the power of human consciousness, distant healing, etc. Even today, when it comes to the power of human consciousness and parapsychological manifestations like distant health or telepathy, there is substantial evidence confirming that at least some of these phenomena are, without a doubt, real. Just because we cannot develop a sound scientific theory to explain these types of occurrences does not mean they do not exist.

“I speak to them with my mind, or through my eyes, my heart or my soul, and I see that they understand and answer me.”

So says Tippi Degre, the daughter of two wildlife photographers who spent her childhood growing up amongst a number of magnificent animals in Namibia, Africa. Instead of cartoons and Barbies, Tippi got to connect with some of the most exotic animals on earth on a level that most of us will only ever experience with our cats and dogs, “including a 28-year old elephant Abu, a leopard nicknamed J&B, crocodiles, lion cubs, giraffes, a Northern Greater Galago, a Banded Mongoose, an Ostrich, meerkats, a baby zebra, a cheetah, a Caracal, a snake, an African Grey Parrot, giant bullfrogs and chameleons.” (Wikipedia)

”We are all one’

”Indigo children are seen to be born with special perception, special wisdom or special compassion.”

Lately there has been much talk of a ‘shift in energy in the planet’. You can see signs of this everywhere you look. On a local scale in my day to day conversations with people online and in person there is a general sense of people being more ‘awake’ or ‘aware’, people are starting to question the world around them and are doing so with open minds. On a more global scale there have been more spiritual and even political movements than ever before, millions of people have taken to the streets in countries like Egypt, Brazil and Turkey to name a few.Spiritual practices like yoga and meditation are spreading like wildfire with more and more people incorporating this into their lifestyle and understanding the importance of inner peace.

It seems our whole society and whole world is evolving, and much of this has been attributed to ‘Indigo Children’.

Update: We've been informed these probably aren't quotes from the Dalai Lama, though that doesn't make them any less helpful.

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R’s:
   –  Respect for self,
   –  Respect for others and
   –  Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

No doubt about it, we’re living in an increasingly toxic world. From insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides to pollution from fossil fuels and nuclear plants, it’s becoming near impossible to dodge the toxic assault. The poisons are not only on agricultural fields, but also in our oceans, homes, schools, parks, forests, roads and playgrounds.

Even so, we can reduce exposure by paying attention to the food we eat and the water we drink. A perfect example of this is a family in Sweden who decided to take a 21-day all-organic diet challenge. The results may surprise you.

“What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.” ~ Anaïs Nin

All that you experience is you in relation to — everything!

Relating is a dynamic, ever-evolving essential of relationships. Relating describes you in relation to. Relating is you in relation to universal consciousness and its infinite potential. Relating is you in relation to everything! As an extension of universal consciousness, that which you create is connected to the all and is experienced wholly in relation to you! Everything is in relationship. Everything is you in-relation, too.

Denton, Texas might not ring a bell immediately, but this city of just over 100,000, located north of Dallas, actually has a bit of an international reputation for being the “little city that could.” In taking a stand against overwhelming odds in a state that lives and breathes the oil and gas industry, Denton managed to ban all fracking—but their hard-fought victory was short-lived.

Governor Greg Abbott sided with industry over the health, welfare, and will of the people by scrambling to pass legislation that bans fracking bans. Denton, to him, had gone too far.

So what happened next? Almost immediately, Vantage Energy decided, in an act of hubris, to prove the industry’s clout and resume fracking in Denton last Monday.

But the people have had enough of fracking and having their legitimate concerns ignored—and a few decided to act on one of the only avenues now available—they blocked the entrance to the drilling site.
