Know how beautiful you truly are, and you will know happiness every day of your life. Any dissatisfaction you have in life is based on your appraisal of yourself. Yes, matters in the world take place and irritate, yet your irritation is with yourself and not so much with life and others as you like to believe. You are quick to pounce on someone or something else as the source of your irritation when someone or something else reminds you of your own mis-perceived inadequacy.
 
Something or another in the relative world is awry at one time or another, no doubt about that. Someone or something will offend you or drive you to distraction. Nevertheless, if you were not so hard on yourself, you wouldn’t take life as seriously as you do. You would not take it seriously at all.
 
You have a wounded picture of yourself. When someone else makes a mistake, their mistake is like salt on your wound. With your irritation with others, you are really saying:
 
“Don’t remind me ever again, not even once more, of my human frailty. For this reason, I pounce on you and can’t tolerate your inability to be perfect. I cannot tolerate my own errors, and, therefore, I absolutely can’t tolerate yours. I cannot tolerate anyone’s errors. It is automatic for me to want perfection from you, and I respond automatically when you reveal any dimension of imperfection. The more imperfect I perceive myself, the angrier I become with you. I like to believe that it is you who causes me grief when I am the cause, the one and only.
 

A Mexican judge in the state of Yucatan has recalled a permit from Monsanto, the biotech giant, forbidding the company from planting Roundup-ready GMO soybeans. His decision was based on scientific evidence that lead GMO soybeans to declines in be populations.

As The Guardian reports, the permit originally allowed Monsanto to plant 625,000 acres of GMO soybeans in seven states. Local Mayan farmers and beekeepers protested in the thousands against the move, but were largely ignored. Which is ridiculous when you consider that honeybees are crucial to the Mexican economy, where 25,000 families depend on honey production for income.

The Mexican government was accused of not taking the issue seriously and that there was a conflict of interest. More cases...

It’s no secret that factory farmed animals are fed antibiotics. Some 80% of antibiotics made in the United States are fed to cattle, all the while millions of low income Americans struggle to get medical care. Aside from the potentially devastating impact that a ‘super bug,’ or antibiotic resistant bacteria might have on the planet, new research shows that antibiotic use in farming is related to the steep rise in food allergies.

Among children, the incidence of food allergies has risen by 50% between 1997 and and 2011. In The UK, one in three citizens has an allergy to something, be it mold, dust mites, pollen or food. Some research has been able to draw a parallel between the rise in allergies and increased antibiotic use, but a

The UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food is insisting that our current methods of agriculture are reaping dangerous effects on our global food supply, and that small farmers and agroecological farming methods are the key to the future of farming. Or at least that’s the opinion of Professor Hilal Elver.

“Food policies which do not address the root causes of world hunger would be bound to fail, she said to an audience in Amsterdam. “The 2009 global food crisis signaled the need for a turning point in the global food system. Modern agriculture, which began in the 1950′s, is more resource intensive, very fossil fuel dependent, using fertilizers, and based on massive production. This policy has to change.”

We are facing a range of challenges. Resource scarcity, increased population, decreasing land availability and accessibilit...

As synchronicity would have it, I got a chance to connect with a wonderful author and healing practitioner—Staci Boden. Staci recently released her book:Turning Dead Ends into Doorways: How to Grow Through Whatever Life Throws Your Way.

During this monumental time of change, you may feel as if you have been abandoned and left in a desert of loneliness.  Each of you is experiencing these changes in a different way and you may feel like the only person moving through a sea of uncertainty.  Please do not give up, beautiful one!  Along with the changes will come a new understanding of yourself and others like you have never known before!  All of the joy, love, happiness and wondrous things you have been waiting for are just a moment, a breath, a millisecond away.  Stay focused, as grounded as you can and, most of all, stay clear……..your time is at hand. ~ Creator

Acceptance is a powerful tool that acknowledges and celebrates the competency of each and every soul to know the exact experiences they wish to have. It also acknowledges that there is a universal system of guidance and assistance that works the same for every single person on the planet, to support them in those experiences. When you know, deep in your being, that nothing is ever wrong, that the unfoldment that you see is divinely perfect in all ways, you can finally settle into the beautiful state of peace that has been available, and waiting for you, all along. ~Archangel […]

Long considered impossible to accomplish, new research reveals how a simple spice might contribute to the regeneration of the damaged brain.

Turmeric is hands down one of the, if not the, most versatile healing spice in the world with over 600 experimentally confirmed health benefits, and an ancient history filled with deep reverence for its seemingly compassionate power to alleviate human suffering.

I’ve always been a big fan of keeping things simple. The more complex things are, the more challenging life becomes. So consider these three simple things that can help lead you toward enlightenment.

1. Remember that every one and every thing acts based on what seems like the best choice according to their perceptions. What may seem like a stupid thing to have done seemed like the best course of action to them, and we aren’t here to judge the usefulness of anything.

2. We are all connected. This is something people say a lot, but do we really feel it? Every creature, plant and animal, and every person everywhere. “A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed. We are one planet. One of the great revelations of the age of space exploration is the image of the earth finite and lonely, somehow vulnerable, bearing the entire human species through the oceans of space and time.” -Carl Sagan

3. When you consider what the best action is, it’s the action that considers everyone. Every living thing, every culture, e...
