Whether you see it or not, you do know how to call difficulties to you, how to keep them and, even escalate them. This is how you do it:
 
You think about the difficulties often. You gnaw at them as a dog a bone. You resent the difficulties that you see encroaching on you through others. If others would only be easier to get along with or would understand how difficult a situation or situations are for you, life would be a lot better and easier for you. Certainly, it seems that way. Certainly, you see so-called others as reprehensible and yourself innocent. Is this not the case?
 
One way or another, beloveds, if there is a pattern that recurs in your life, there is something in you that can change. Must change. There is something you are seeing and a way you are reacting to what you see that keeps you shackled in a kind of bondage. You are bonded to certain ideas and perspectives you hold as inviolable. In one way or another, you hold onto something that you see as the inalienable truth of the matter.
 
So long as you call your approach to the matter as true, the situation, as you perceive it, takes this as an invitation to stay. You hold on to it. Let go of it, and the world can only react differently to you. Dear Ones, you are mistaken in some way. When you are self-righteous and can’t let go of seeing as you do, you tend to keep that which you say you don’t want close to you. You nurture it.
 

Recently, several dozen rock art sites have been documented in Southern New Mexico, and the discovery of this rock art comes with a botanical discovery as well:

These rock art sites are also home to hallucinogenic plants.

At one site, wild tobacco, which is a highly hallucinogenic plant, was found growing beneath a panel of rock art that depicted triangles painted in red and black. Experts think that these plants are actually remains from the times when shamans would smoke the leaves and paint their rock art...

Election day 2014 is only 18 days away as of today. I am a staunch advocate of voting. I don’t believe that abstaining from the democratic process is a proactive protest of any kind. Not voting is a sign of subservience to our corporate overlords in my mind, but that’s not the point I want to be making here. My big question is: how vulnerable are our elections to hacking?

In 2007, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner had the same question, so she commissioned Project Everest, which was a thorough review of the security of electronic voting technology used in the state that elected her. What she found was fairly disturbing...
