Between 2012 and mid-2014, Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) successfully blocked GMO labeling legislation in over 30 states, at a price tag of more than $100 million.

These funds were received from the 300+ members of the GMA, which include chemical/pesticide, GE seed, and processed food industries.

Together, these industries are working in a symbiotic fashion to grow, subsidize, and manufacture foods that have been clearly linked to growing obesity and chronic disease epidemics.

According to the most recent analysis, opponents of GMO labeling spent more than $27 million o...

When you were a child and asked your parent, “Am I growing?” and they said yes, you believed them. It is the same thing now. Just because you cannot see, hear, feel, touch or taste it does not mean it is not happening. If you ask Me, “Am I growing?” I can tell you yes, you are. Your Earth-plane existence is not always about experiencing, sometimes it is just knowing. ~ Creator

So many humans have developed elaborate habits to avoid taking the risk of speaking their truth. They expect people to know how they are feeling. They drop hints. They become moody. They expect people to figure it out. This is a faulty system that is rarely effective. Let us explain why. You are, each and every one of you, in charge of you. You cannot be responsible for another person’s wellness, and to try to be is to take your focus off the only thing you do have control over, which is yourself. Expecting others to watch your every move […]

September 16 – 28, 2014-09-16 This trecena (13 day period) is overseen by Ix, who represents the jaguar/ocelot and is also symbolic of the shaman or high priest(ess).

Like the jaguar, the “ruler” of the Underworld, this trecena is an excellent time to go within and seek your spiritual power tools and how to use them wisely. These tools may come to you in a physical form, such as crystals, or as a skill such as a counselor or public speaker. The energies of Ix can help increase your shamanic skills. Welcome the assistance of Ix to guide your spiritual journey.

DIET AFFECTS SPIRITUAL GROWTH   In the beginning of human creation, your bodies were designed to eat the foods native to the place where your culture resided. With the advent of food transportation, each of you now has access to food that nature designed to be eaten by other cultures and which may create havoc in your body. To make matters worse, chemicals have been added to preserve the life of these natural foods so they can handle the transporting process better. This includes the unnatural process of forced ripening, hybridization, genetic modification and grafting. The result is an unnatural product loaded with enough chemicals to kill insects, animals and humans. Everything in this world vibrates at a specific frequency. Take into account any one factor such as genetic modification, herbicides, pesticides, processing, microwave cooking, etc. and the natural frequency will be modified. The vast majority of food that most of you consume has no life force in it. In most cases, the frequency is altered; it is the same as ingesting poison. When your body is battered day after day with these low frequencies, it alters your innate ability to perceive through your psychic senses. In order to obtain full shamanic abilities, you must vibrate at a higher frequency. This can be done through diet, positive thinking and connection with spirit guides. As you enhance your ability to discern what is “good” for you, your ability to “know” what is good for others will increase.

It may well be that consciously you did not get yourself into an ungainly situation, yet it is definitely you who has to get yourself out of it. Of course, in some situations, you just have to let them ride. If you have a teacher that irritates you, odds are you just have to stick it out. The semester will be over. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. Meanwhile, you don’t have to be so opposed.
 
Much of the time in life, something will solve or resolve itself without help from you. Yet, sometimes, there is something you can do and have to do. In one way or another, you have to let go of a situation that is not producing happiness. By let go, I mean to let go of its hold on you. You can still be in it, yet something has relaxed. You perhaps.  
 
You may stay or have to stay in an uncomfortable situation. By now you know that other people will change themselves or not. Seldom is it within your jurisdiction to create a change in someone else. How you may wish for someone else to be different. It’s quite certain that you won’t affect a change in another unless there is a change in you. It is hard enough to change yourself especially when you don’t want to.
 
What is this will of yours? It helps you to persist, and this is a good thing, but not always. How do you know the difference between hanging on to stubbornness or whether it is determination to accomplish that which is within My Will and your capability?

Many of us seem to think that being spiritual means we have to be religious. Just because you aren’t directly affiliated with a specific religion doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to be more spiritual. The whole concept of spiritual awareness isn’t all about connecting with a higher divine power, but also connecting with nature and yourself. Once you have established this connection, you will see life from a whole different perspective. People with a highly developed sense of spiritual awareness are often less prone to depression,

I touched upon The Golden Cave, as being the realm of the inner Core that we have. I would like to go further into that.

Caves with wonderful treasures have attracted explorers and bounty hunters throughout time. The idea of wonderful treasures of ancient and more present times is very persistent and when they speak of it, they have that far away look in their eyes.

Not that many have been found by the explorers of the external.

Maybe because it is a projection from the realm of our souls.

We all have this pla...

When you research medicines, alternative medicines, even medical treatments that do not involve a physical substance, you will see reference to the “placebo effect.” Statements like:

X is no better than a placebo.
Y is probably just a “placebo effect“.
Treatment X is just a placebo.
Medicine X failed to beat a placebo in controlled clinical studies.

What is a placebo? What is a placebo effect? Are they real, fake, or something else? Is the placebo effect magic? No, but placebo effects are a paradox. Merriam Webster defines placebo effect thus:

“… improvement in the condition o...
