by Marco Torres| From pollution to politics, the era of deception and duplicity has reached new heights and hijacked almost every form of media in the world. In the last frontiers for truth such as the internet, disinformation operations are in full swing to discredit and destroy any semblance of authentic and factual information available to the public.

How many more lies will people around the world accept as truth? Some say a global awakening is taking place, but at what cost? Will it take the destruction of most of the earth and its resources before people are enlightened?

The escalating media and political reports are so far fetched, cunning, and so beyond reality, it’s as if each is trying to top the other with one sinister plot after the next.

HJ: To develop condition-less compassion for others is a fast path to enlightenment. Compassion overlaps greatly with gratitude as well producing a number of beneficial effects on the mind-body-spirit triad and generally improving the conditions of ones life greatly: happiness, health, abundance and so on…

The Daily Compassion Audit: A Self-Check to Minimise Inadvertently Causing Suffering to Others.

Dr Stan Steindl, Clinical Psychologist, Psychology Consultants Brisbane

Compassion is the sympathetic and active alleviation of suffering in others. At the other end of the spectrum is malevolence and cruelty, intentionally causing others to suffer. But what about all the murky waters in between?

I remember it quite clearly lying in agonizing pain laboring my third child. My unborn son was in a position preventing his imminent birth. I was at home with my midwife sensing that things weren’t progressing as they should, as they did with my previous births. Time had slowed to a crawl yet I wasn’t making it any closer to the finishing line.

In this time I never worried or became anxious. Somehow in this moment I knew surrender was the way. I fell into rhythm with a force outside myself and through the process of having my son’s position manipulated through 2 excruciating contractions I surrendered.

In my surrender I knowingly trusted that all as it should be and that no matter what, in some fashion, there would be a conclusion.

I couldn’t define how I would get there. I couldn’t worry my way through in self-made scenarios. I relinquished control and surrendered to a force that was with me, one that was always with me.

Having time for labour and time for rest scheduled out for you was a system that worked very well in older energies. It gave people a predictability, and through that, a feeling of safety that was generally energetically supported.

But as the energies have changed, and continue to change, strongly and rapidly, many sensitive humans have been finding it difficult to follow set schedules. They can find it almost impossible to work when their bodies are requiring rest and integration, and almost impossible to rest while their bodies are energized for work and creation.

As you move forward during this grand shift your planet is undergoing, you will find more people being drawn to self employment, and more employers creating flexible hours and work environments for their workers. It will become vitally important for people to have the ability to move with whatever energies are supporting them at any given time.

People will also find themselves gravitating towards doing what brings them joy for a career, because your passions and purpose will rarely feel like work. Freedom to self express, to create, to flow, and to harness whatever is being supported energetically, will become a vital part of how humans structure their days, leading to a greater self expression and satisfaction in livelihood than ever before. ~Archangel Gabriel

“Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coercion, brainwashing, and manipulation.” Terence McKenna

I can remember the first time I became aware of the television. I would have been very young, too young to understand what I was seeing. I recall being struck by the power, by the allure of the sounds and moving colors; its draw was compelling and hypnotic. As I got older and able to appreciate the stories it told, I no longer saw it as a mysterious, awesome force dancing in my living room, instead it became like an easy companion, its authority and influence carefully tucked away between the smiling faces and captivating plots. I could spend hours lost in the comfort of the illusions that emanated from that magical box. Oblivious to the fact that the seemingly benign shows I allowed myself to be engrossed in were actively, and subliminally, shaping my mind and guiding my belief system, I lapped up the free entertainment.

As the most vulnerable of mammals when born, human babies come into the world reliant on the loving care of parents/guardians and support from their environment. With no means or ability to survive alone, children are dependent upon family, surroundings, culture and society. They (that is to say, we) begin the process of learning immediately – completely absorbing our surroundings – seeing and sensing energy on all levels. Brain development is an ongoing process which is crucial and happening rapidly after birth.

This vulnerability reflects the fact that humans come into the world knowing how to love, by completely trusting that they will be cared for. Although sadly not always the case, in general, babies are welcomed tenderly into the world and they bring an abundance of joy and love to the lives they touch. Our natural human instinct is to smile at a baby and be gentle with them.

Rapid deforestation and excessive human intervention into wildlife habitat has lead to frequent straying of wild animals into human habitation. Intrusion into wildlife habitat typically occurs due to illegal encroachment and also when roads, railroads, canals, electric power lines, and pipelines penetrate and divide wildlife habitat. Wild animals attempting to cross roads often find themselves in front of speeding vehicles.

Road mortality has significantly impacted a number of prominent species in the United States and elsewhere, including white-tailed deer, Florida panthers, and black bears. According to a study made in 2005, nearly 1.5 million traffic accidents involving deer occur each year in the United States that cause an estimated $1.1 billion in vehicle damage. In addition, species that are unable to migrate across roads to reach resources such as food, shelter and mates experiences reduced reproductive and survival rates.

A study from Microsoft involving more than 2,000 people has found that the average attention span has dipped to a low 8 seconds – down from 12 seconds in 2000. A goldfish has an attention span of 9 seconds.

There are many effects from smartphones and the like on the human body which are never written about. Information technology (IT) is much more powerful in unrecognized ways than is generally acknowledged.

Because these various IT devices are often very close to a person’s body, they can and do have profound effects on the human bioelectric field. The key factor in this ever-intensifying dynamic between human and technology is the length of time of daily interaction.

In other words, picking up a cellphone to make a couple of calls a day is one thing; being tied to your smartphone 24 hour a day, 7 days a week is something altogether different. Herein lies one of the key causes of the shrinking attention span. Additionally, constant exposure to cell phones near our heads may be dangerous.
