Astronomers find newborn stars at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy
A team of Brazilian astronomers led by Denilso Camargo of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul have made a remarkable discovery, a cluster of stars forming on the very edge of the Milky Way galaxy. This is the first time astronomers have found stars being born in such a remote location.
Our galaxy has a barred spiral shape, with arms of stars, gas and dust winding out from a central bar. Viewed from the side, it would appear relatively flat, witm most of the material in a disc and the central regions.
Stars form inside massive and dense clumps of gas in so-called giant molecular clouds (GMCs) that are mainly located in the inner part of the galactic disc. With many clumps in a single GMC, most (if not all) stars are born together in clusters.
Denilso’s team looked at data from NASA’s orbiting Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observatory. They not only found GMCs thousands of light years above and below the galactic disc, but that one of them unexpectedly contained two clusters of stars.
An Astronaut’s Search for Peace thru Understanding Consciousness

Consciousness completes the equation of energy and matter expanding science to the quantum level.
Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon discovered in his trip to space in 1971 that science cannot explain our reality and that energy and matter alone do not explain the nature of our existence.
“Consciousness is the third component to the equation of energy and matter that together combine to explain non local science on a quantum level,” Mitchell explains in an interview with Waking Times. “Consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our universe and is not confined to the brain.”
Consciousness is studied in detail at Edgar Mitchell’s Institute of Noetic Sciences, where frontier scientists are unraveling new physics that transcend space and time, revealing a vast multi dimensional universe...
We Need Consciousness

Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness
“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything” – Malcolm X (sometimes attributed to Gordon A. Eadie)
This world is desperately in need of consciousness and awareness, and it seems like everywhere we look, diversions and mind control tactics are being used to keep us pacified and asleep.
I don’t know about any of you, but the more I try to be a part of society, the more I realize that it’s engineered to keep us from exploring our consciousness or becoming aware of the things the people in power are doing to mentally, emotionally, economically and spiritually oppress us.
What’s interesting is that the elite oppress us by using subconscious programming to cause us to oppress ourselves. Mind control is very real, and while direct forms of mind control like MK-Ultra are used, the control the general public is subjected to is less direct and more cunning.

A Vacant Lot In Wyoming Will Become One Of The World’s First Vertical Farms
Source: www.fastcoexist.com | Original Post Date: February 23, 2015 –
A unique conveyer belt design allows the three-story greenhouse to be efficient and sustainable, providing jobs and fresh produce to the Jackson community.
Jackson, Wyoming, is an unlikely place for urban farming: At an altitude over a mile high, with snow that can last until May, the growing season is sometimes only a couple of months long. It’s also an expensive place to plant a garden, since an average vacant lot can cost well over $1 million.
But the town is about to become home to one of the only vertical farms in the world. On a thin slice of vacant land next to a parking lot, a startup called Vertical Harvest recently broke ground on a new three-story stack of greenhouses that will be filled with crops like microgreens and tomatoes.
Forget Coffins – Organic Burial Pods Will Turn Your Loved Ones Into Trees
Source: www.boredpanda.com | Original Post Date: February 26, 2015 –
The idea of coming full circle and returning whence we came from is one that appeals to many of us, regardless of our faith (or lack thereof), and this is an idea captured perfectly by this beautiful new burial method developed in Italy. The Capsula Mundi project by designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel has developed an organic, biodegradable burial capsule that will turn the deceased’s body into nutrients for a tree that will grow out of their remains.
After being encapsulated in the fetal position, the deceased is buried and either a tree or tree seed is planted above their capsule. The project’s site already has a number of trees to choose from.
The project is currently only a concept because Italian law forbids such burials. If it were allowed to proceed, however...
Suppressing Your Truth Isn’t Helping Anyone
By Evita Ochel
Guest Writer for Wake Up World
Many of us live our life based on the idea that we cannot share what we really feel or think, out of courtesy or consideration for another. However, when we examine why we so often live by suppressing our truth, we come to see that our reasons for doing so are not quite as selfless or admirable as we may presume them to be. By trying to protect the other, we are often simply trying to protect some aspect of our illusory self. In this essay, we will examine the consequences of not living our truth — how this impacts us and those around us — and I will also share with you 5 tips for authentic self-expression.
If you are like most people on our planet, chances are you have “bit your tongue” on more than one occasion, preventing yourself from saying something you felt deeply called within to say...

12 Pieces of Buddhist Wisdom That Will Transform Your Life
1. Live with compassion
Compassion is one of the most revered qualities in Buddhism and great compassion is a sign of a highly realized human being.
Compassion doesn’t just help the world at large, and it isn’t just about the fact that it’s the right thing to do. Compassion, and seeking to understand those around you, can transform your life for a number of reasons.
First, self-compassion is altogether critical towards finding peace within yourself. By learning to forgive yourself and accepting that you’re human you can heal deep wounds bring yourself back from difficult challenges.
Next, we can often be tortured because of the fact that we don’t completely understand why people do certain things.
Compassion is understanding the basic goodness in all people and then seeking to discover that basic goodness in specific people...
Our True Identity
If we do not discover our truth, it is not truth. Truth is real, personal, and our own.
Those who sell truth are trying to get us to buy theirs. Those who share truth hope others will believe as they do.
Truth is our identity in beingness, because it exists within the infinite conscious expanse, a unique identity that only belongs to us.
Freedom allows us to exist within the infinite oneness as individuals of our truth.
We do not need permission to Be. It is a gift eternity has given us to explore our beingness in time, space, and within eternity.
Namaste.
Robert and CJ
