Empathy is something all humans have. We’re soft wired for it. Empathy is the social force at work when you see someone hurt and you feel their hurt, nearly physically. If you’ve ever been around a toxic person, though, you know how empathy can make their negativity rub off on you. So how do we make sure negative people keep their energy to themselves?

1. Let go of expectations.

You’re not going to be able to please everyone, so don’t go seeking out toxic people to make happy. Their negativity stems from unhappiness, and happiness can only come from within them. If you try to make them happy, all that’ll happen is your energy will be brought down to their level.

2. Don’t invite negativity into your life.

Your immediate environment should be your temple, and you’re not going to want to let negative people into that temple. Sure, let them stop by, but never invite it in to stay. They won’t respect you or your home.

God said:

You know that life in the world can change at the snap of a finger. You also know that the phenomenon of life, of its very nature, changes right and left. Even when life doesn’t seem to be changing, it is changing. Life, as it appears, is ever-new. This isn't the first time I have said this, is it?

When you were a child, change changed right before you. You grew an inch. You learned a new word. The magnificence of it – you learned to speak a language. You went from baby to toddler. You learned to ride a tricycle. Life flashed between your eyes, and next thing you knew you rode a 2-wheeler, and then a motor-cycle and so on.

After childhood, changes are not so sudden-appearing. Changes become more like after-thoughts. They have been predicted as a standard procedure. Even as age is happening, as hair become gray, it doesn’t happen all at once. Then suddenly, it seems, the way spring appears, suddenly, your hair is all gray or your hair is sparse.

Silly you, these evidences of change appear like afflictions to you. Ideas accrue to what you notice. Now you have the idea you are growing old. The world tells you that this is reality. Even what you pronounce as reality is an idea, and, often, an inherited idea. An idea of reality is not identical to Reality. Pronouncements of Reality in the world may be off-base. Once flat Earth was considered Reality. There are those who would revive that idea. There are even those who say that this theory is still true. Someone says so.

With the newly released statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, some feel the battle for marijuana legalization has been won, however the war for this country’s future is just beginning. The DOJ is claiming that it will allow states with strict cannabis laws in place to continue with their present course of marijuana sale and production, as long as they create “a tightly regulated market” and are strict in the enforcement of said laws; not legalizing marijuana, but choosing not to enforce the federal law themselves. It’s a hypocritical move, and there in lies the problem…

By keeping marijuana illegal, and on the controlled substance list, the Feds are intentionally not allowing cannabis to be researched and developed on the large-scale level of which this country is in dire need. The typically ambiguous wording of their statement is reminiscent of the Patriot Act, allowing the government to interpret what they feel to be “robust controls and procedures” or “tightly regulated” (of which both are repeatedly used) on a case to case basis and thereby continuing their attempt to control the flow of information and production.

At last year’s Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, Portuguese designer Susana Soares presented a device that can detect cancer and other diseases using honey bees. Known for their extraordinary sense of smell, bees can detect airborne molecules in the parts per trillion range and can be trained to recognize certain smells associated with diseases such as lung, skin and pancreatic cancer, as well as tuberculosis.

The device is made out of two chambers. The smaller enclosure is a kind of diagnosis space into which people exhale. The previously trained bees, which are kept in the larger chamber, rush into the smaller one if they sense an odor they were trained to recognize. The outer curved tube is used to keep the bees away from the interior chamber. Once a person exhales, the breath becomes visible through condensation.

Plants have scientifically been show to draw alternative sources of energy from other plants. Plants influence each other in many ways and they communicate through “nanomechanical oscillations” vibrations on the tiniest atomic or molecular scale or as close as you can get to telepathic communication.

Members of Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse’s biological research team have previously shown that green algae not only engages in photosynthesis, but also has an alternative source of energy: it can draw it from other plants. His research findings were released in the online journal Nature Communications.

Other research published last year, showed that young corn roots made clicking sounds, and that when suspended in water they would lean towards sounds made in the same frequency range (about 220 Hz). So it seemed that plants do emit and react to sound, and the researchers wanted to delve into this idea further.

GFP: I was curious if there was any evidence to back this up, and I found this study.

The, perhaps aptly-titled, website www.hatedentists.com lists many reasons people hate visiting their dentist’s office. Many of those fears come to roost in such dreaded procedures as wisdom teeth removal and, the topic of today’s post, cavity filling.

But what if there were a natural, less invasive and painful way to fill those pesky craters in your chompers?

Read on, good people.

Eggshells – y’know, those things you throw away without hesitation – are actually quite useful for everything from cleaning water to relieving pain.

They’re also great for repairing bone damage – in other words, they can work wonders for repairing cavities.
