Today and every year, “NEVER FORGET” echoes through the neighborhoods, cities, and Facebook statuses of America. 14 years after 9/11, Americans still bear the cross of a nation victimized and scorned after the brutal attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. While Americans — and politicians who are still intent on capitalizing on the tragedy — vow never to forget the fateful day, far too many citizens forget the liberties they have relinquished as a result. Lest today’s valiantly waving flags, government ceremonies, and TV news specials replaying the plane crashes coax you into forgetting, these nine essential freedoms have been usurped since 9/11:

1. The liberty to not be spied upon: Essential to a free society — at least as the founders of the United States saw it — was the freedom to be left alone. In the not too distant past, government agencies suspicious of citizens had to obtain warrants to investigate private citizens...

The readers of Collective Evolution are generally open to the expansion of our scientific inquiries to include the realm of consciousness, or as was suggested at the Science and Nonduality Conference, an “Observer-based” science to take into account the findings of quantum physics.

At SAND speakers like Bernardo Kastrup discussed his book, Why Materialism is Baloney, and Menas Kafatos and Jay Kumar have presented cogent concepts to expand our science.

These two slides provide an overview.

Dr. Kafatos has compared the essential aspects of a new Observer-Based science with our current paradigm:

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tree native to South Asia and now found throughout the tropics. Its leaves have been used as part of traditional medicine for centuries, and the Ayurvedic system of medicine associates it with the cure or prevention of about 300 diseases.¹

Moringa, sometimes described as the “miracle tree,” “drumstick tree,” or “horseradish tree,” has small, rounded leaves that are packed with an incredible amount of nutrition: protein, calcium, beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium… you name it, moringa’s got it. No wonder it’s been used medicinally (and as a food source) for at least 4,000 years.²

The national debate is heating up in France about whether or not to vaccinate. An astounding 58% of French doctors question the usefulness of vaccines for children, while 31% are concerned about vaccine safety.

Vaccination is a controversial topic not only in the United States, but in France as well. Liberty has always been an important touchstone for both nations, so it’s not surprising to see the vaccine debate move into the arena of personal freedom and informed consent. Moreover, the rate of skepticism towards vaccination has spiked in France over the last several years, where medical doctors are viewing vaccines with increasing distrust. And French parents are following suit.

Sun, the mighty core of the solar system, moves from the earthy Virgo sign into the airy Libra sign at the end of this week. Mars also changes signs, moving from Sun’s sign, Leo, to Virgo, Mercury’s sign. Mars typically likes to be solo or dominant, however, he probably doesn’t mind Jupiter’s influence via their conjunction in early Virgo. Jupiter expands Mars’ qualities, creating an inflated sense of aggressively handling details, and expanded assertion and drive at work. Mars entering Virgo also creates an exact square with Saturn in Sagittarius, with both planets intensely manifesting their energies at 0 degrees of their signs. While Mars square Saturn contains inherent difficulties, the opportunities for accomplishment are enormous. An overarching sense of discipline and structure in tension with ambition and desire is favorable for achieving success in spite of any obstacles.

God said:

When there is love, how can there be conflict as well?

What can conflict be but fear of love? Perhaps fear in the form of holding tight to imagined ownership of even yourself. Beloveds, if you desire to sail, you have to untie yourself from the anchor. Know that you need no anchor. Be moored in love. Love, and be not tied.

The fact is that you are tied to nothing. You fight windmills. You fight freedom. Surrender to love instead. Let love take you by the hand. You don’t have to proclaim love. Be it.

Love yourself enough to love. Love yourself to pieces, and love will fall from the sky like confetti.

Get out of the details. You are not to be moored in a crush of details. Let go of the details. You don’t have to be caught up in them. Let details take care of themselves.

This means to let life be. Caught up in details, you tend to get caught up in difficulties.

Of course, I understand that life on Earth is made of details. The fact is, however, that you are to be caught up in the Greatness of Life. This is not a luxury. This is a necessity.

Unless you are caught up in love and revelation, you are caught up in the details, and this is where friction enters in. Details are minor. Love is major. It could be through friction, you cut love in half.

Are you deflated about Love? Is it time to learn to love yourself, and create love in your life? Have you stopped believing in the gift you are?

I recently spoke with therapist Natalie Lamb about how to attract love. I asked her why so many people have difficulty these days in finding partners and having relationships that work:

“After being rejected, hurt, and lied to, people give up hope in love. After feeling desperate, unwanted and like they don’t matter, they begin to believe they will never find someone who loves them. After speaking with many people I came to see how people had numbed out and given up on Love. On themselves being truly happy. Are you like that? Have you stopped knowing you deserve love?
