With every day that goes by, more people are awakening to the injustice being perpetrated at the top of the social/economic hierarchy, and as we awaken, we assemble to figure out how we can make a change.

We’re also becoming aware of the spiritual nature of our existence and the fact that we’re innately spiritual beings who have yet to truly discover our Godliness.

We’re searching for answers to the questions that burn deep within, which are now coming to the surface, and we’re encouraging the rest of the world to find the answers to their own deeply rooted questions.

Those questions usually have to do with how we can expose and dethrone the elitists who unjustly control the world and how we can connect with our inner Self, and our passion and inspiration will rise as we find the answers we’ve searched for.

We’re creating and contributing to a massive spiritual revolution that’s rooted in awareness and empowerment for the common man. We’re realizing that we aren’t “common” at all, and we can do anything we put our minds to.

Ever wonder what makes those wacky, creative types tick? How is it that some people seem to come up with all kinds of interesting, original work while the rest of us trudge along in our daily routines?

Creative people are different because they operate a little differently. They:

1. Are easily bored

A short attention span isn’t always a good thing, but it can indicate that the creative person has grasped one concept and is ready to go on to the next one.

2. Are willing to take risks

Fearlessness is absolutely necessary for creating original work, because of the possibility of rejection. Anything new requires a bit of change, and most of us don’t care for change that much.

3. Don’t like rules

Rules, to the creative person, are indeed made to be broken. They are created for us by other people, generally to control a process; the creative person needs freedom in order to work.

If you are in a human body and you are not the Dalai Lama it is very possible that you have experienced an intense negative reaction to someone at some point in your life. In some cases, the feeling is so strong that you might feel guilty for having it. It’s if there is an evil twin inside of you, trying to break through your chest and wrap its hands around this others person’s neck and shake them up a bit. Or worse. I am familiar with this phenomenon, especially during times when I am in a growth spurt and facing my shadow is an essential part of that process. There is no escaping it.

That is the shadow energy in all of us. The shadow consists of unnamed and disowned parts of us that were deemed unacceptable by society. It is not OK to be lazy, greedy, jealous, competitive or even to have a high sex drive. Yet, as we are all pieces of the mosaic of life, these traits, feelings and tendencies exist inside us, hiding in the dark corners of our psyche.

When we have such a strong negative emotional reaction to someone it is an amazing opportunity for our personal growth....

Be a blessing to yourself. Make the world easy and brilliant for you today. Truly, make every day a day of rest.

As it is, you seldom make Sunday a day of rest. Perhaps We want to define rest. Here it is:

Resting means letting go.

You know you could sit in an easy chair with your feet up, yet that doesn’t mean you are resting. You could be very anxious. What kind of rest is that? You can go to work and be anxious. You don’t require Sundays for anxiety and worry. You can engage in anxiety and worry any day of the week.

Rest is letting go tenseness.

You understand I mean to say that rest is more than absence of activity.

Ideally, whatever you are doing and involved in, you would be free from tension. This is possible. It is not impossible.

I am not separate from your activity. I am not singularly found in isolation and not in activity. I am not reclusive. You can have great bursts of Light with Me anywhere at any time.

You have likely felt that you have to go away somewhere to get closer to Me. That’s fine. I am Everywhere. I can be found anywhere. I can be found at an amusement park. When boundaries come down – your boundaries – I am easily accessible. I can be found on a sunny day and in a thunder storm.

Where am I not found? Surely I am in a cave, and surely I am in heavy traffic.

From time to time, we all have experiences when restlessness and discontent fade away, and we’re filled with a sense of ease, well-being and harmony. We become free of pressure to keep busy and the need for stimulation, and rest at ease within ourselves and within the present moment.

I call these experiences ‘harmony of being.’ They usually occur when we’re quiet and relaxed and there’s stillness around us – for example, when we’re walking through the countryside, working quietly with our hands, listening to or playing music, or after meditation, yoga or sex. The chattering of our minds fades away and we feel a natural flow of connection between ourselves and our surroundings or other people.

Synchronicity is the phenomena of meaningful “coincidences” that occur in life that simply cannot be explained in ordinary terms.  They defy a natural explanation due to their impeccable timing and how they coincide perfectly with other areas in our life.  This is literally a sign from the Matrix that you are on the right track and that you are aligned with the flow of the universe.

Here are seven common synchronicities that people experience when they are highly aligned. Next time you experience one, pat yourself on the back, because you are in alignment with the spirit of the universe.

1) Seeing repeating numbers like 1111, 222 or 333

This is probably the most common sign people receive from the universe.  Some people even believe that these are signs from our spirit guides or angels, letting us know that we are moving in the right direction or providing us guidance.

When you hear the word “beauty,” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I bet it wasn’t stones or minerals! The selection of beautiful stones and minerals you’ll find below are some of the most breathtaking spectacles our world has to offer.

Minerals are “naturally occurring substance that is solid and inorganic representable by a chemical formula, and has an ordered atomic structure.” While there are over 4,900 different types of stones and minerals, the ones pictured below absolutely took our breath away. Do you have a picture of a beautiful stone or mineral? Share it with us in the comments below!

Inspired by an article from Shubhra on Wake Up World, entitled “Those Who Don’t Believe in Magic Will Never Find It”

We’re all looking for some color in our life; some magic; something that’ll reassure us that the things we’ve learned about life and spirituality are genuine. Some of us probably don’t need reassurance about our beliefs, because we’ve long accepted that our discoveries are real.

Regardless, we’re all looking for something to expand our spirituality and help us see that we really do live in an infinite universe that’s composed of pure, blissful vibrations, which we can tap into with focused, disciplined effort.

We’ve sought love and spirit in plenty of different ways, and a lot of techniques are offered in this day and age to help us “expand our minds”, “raise our vibration”, “connect with our higher self/spiritual guides” – the list goes on.

It’s been about 12 years since Equilibrium quietly arrived in theaters, only to become better known as the years went on. The dystopian flick about the forced removal of emotions – i.e. any shred of humanity – through mandated injections was quite the extreme allegory to average viewers. But perhaps you looked around and saw the “desensitizing metaphor” in all kinds of things in this twisted bumpy stop we call reality.

Fluoride, prescription drugs, antibiotics and other things that wipe out the gut (second brain), television programming, heavy metal and chemical exposure, schooling, etc… A good many things keep consciousness quelled by various forms of suppression. Homeopathic pioneers often talked about modern medicines having a suppressing effect on the body, which would drive disease further inward – were they on to something?
