By Wes Annac, Culture of Awareness

I stand with all the free-thinkers out there who’ve liberated their minds from cultural illusion and tapped into true reality. I stand with everyone who’s awakened to the fact that the world is massively imbalanced, and I invite you to contribute to the creation of a new way of life.

I stand by the spiritual teachers who genuinely want to help their pupils come closer to enlightenment, as opposed to using rigid dogma to tell them what they should and shouldn’t do.

I stand by everyone who’s awakened to the spiritual nature of our existence and the things the corrupt elite are doing to keep us from realizing our own eternal, spiritual nature, and I welcome you into my circle, which I’ve been welcomed into by other conscious seekers.

I stand by everyone who’s opened their mind and wants to create a new world, however we each individually define that, and I’m excited for more people to awaken and step up to the plate to help humanity evolve.

I welcome anyone who’s excited to make real, lasting changes to the corrupt world we’ve been forced to deal with for so long, and I encourage every awakened individual to invite others to participate in our collective evolution.

Everywhere we look, people are waking up and doing something with their awareness.

If the West favours the left-handed, logic and analytical side of the brain and the East favours the creative, spiritual and feeling-centered side of the brain, then it’s no surprise that in the West, we approach our problems all too often with cool logic and analysis.

That’s not to say that these approaches are valid and appropriate in many problem-solving situations in life, but when it comes to patterns of behaviour and trapped emotions, the best option available is actually often completely the opposite. Instead of burying ourselves in countless counseling sessions and trying to claw our way out of the labyrinth fruitless style, sometimes we just need to rise above it like a hawk and drop all of our problems at once.

If there could be one ‘higher purpose’ for meditation – higher than relaxing, enhancing our health or improving concentration – it’s this. Untangling ourselves from the over-use of our minds and just letting all those years of effort simply melt away, we are able to see that there really wasn’t any problem there in the first place. Lifting persistent burdens on our emotional well-being, not to mention our time and energy leave us free to focus on what we really want to make our lives all about.

The costs of homelessness is rarely discussed. We mostly hear statistics about the number of children living on the streets, the vast number of hungry individuals fed in soup kitchens, and the dangers that homeless families face during severe weather. As communities, we pull together by donating to food banks and participating in homeless outreach programs, even though government regulations are putting limits on where and how we can help the homeless. (see: 90 Year Old Man Arrested for Feeding the Homeless).

We are naturally inclined to want to help people in need, but most of us don’t understand the economics of caring for the homeless.

We find a great many human beings delaying their healing waiting for some kind of closure to come from another. This is such a gamble, Dear Ones! You see, the need for closure indicates that a hurt has occurred from your dealings with the other. If they were not able to keep from hurting you in the first place it is highly unlikely they will have the skill, love, or compassion necessary to create the healing you are looking for. They likely do not have the insight or ability to gift you with the closure you seek.

You are in charge of your healing. Waiting for another to give you what you need to heal is giving your power away. You do not need any external gift from another in order to give yourself permission to heal! Your own self love, your own nurturing of self, your own healthy boundaries, your own desire for wellness and wholeness, is all that is ever required to create the perfect conditions for your healing.

Be not afraid to speak of your wrongs and rights, your weaknesses and strengths. This is what makes you human and blessed to The Universe. ~ Creator

Every once in a while you have a realization or an “ah ha” moment so grand, it completely shakes your entire perspective of reality to the core. You look around and don’t see things the same way again. This blog is dedicated to these spiritual ideas or realizations, many of which are now backed by science, that will turn the way you see things inside out…

We all have a lense through which we see the world. As humans the lense we use to interpret and apply ourselves in reality is made up of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and some might even say, your soul’s essence and the presence of Spirit.

While sometimes it’s hard to see beyond our current range of focus, when we do, often we can gain a glimpse, an understanding and deep sense of self that lands within us. Once it does, it never leaves. It changes us, it shapes us into who we are. It transforms us from the core, from the inside out.

Liquid Democracy is one of the boldest contemporary innovations in democratic decision-making. The idea uses web technology that allows users to interact in new ways. Its primary innovators are located in Berlin, and Germany has been the first to adopt and apply Liquid Democracy systems in the context of political parties, parliamentary processes, and some organizations.

Liquid Democracy has a number of key features. In the Liquid Democracy system, a party member can assign a proxy vote to any other member, thereby assigning a personal delegate, instead of voting for a representative. A member can give their vote to another member for all issues, for a particular policy area, or for a particular decision only for any length of time...
