2015 is the year of soil. Bringing the soil to the center of our consciousness and our planning is vital for the life of the soil, but also for the future of our society. History provides ample evidence that civilizations which ignored the health and well-being of the soil, and exploited it without renewing its fertility, disappeared along with the soil.

Indian civilization has sustained itself over thousands of years because it revered the soil as sacred and inviolable. It treated it as Mother Earth.

An intuitive message by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness

Your creative and expressive abilities can be clear and free-flowing, and all it takes is the willingness not to let the ego heavily influence your creativity or anything else you do to bring your planet into the light.

When it comes to channeling or conveying the intuitive guidance you receive from the greater aspects of your consciousness who want to help you spiritually evolve, releasing your mind-driven resistance and letting the expressions flow is the best way to produce a clear and coherent communication for others to benefit from.

Channeling or connecting with your higher self isn’t just meant to benefit the people who read or listen to the message later on – it’s meant to benefit the person who practices it by filling them with divine energy and inspiration and allowing them the creative freedom that comes with getting the ego out of the way and letting one’s expressions flow with no hindrances or barriers present.

Have you ever had a friend or a person who comes to you in a constant state of panic, looking for advice in regards to problems in any given area of life?

Perhaps a close friend, acquaintance, or member of the opposite sex who appears to be more interested in ranting about and perpetuating their problems than actually solving them?

Does this person seem to come to you constantly, seeking help, sympathy, and all sorts of emotional drama – while NEVER taking the sage advice you dispense to them time and time again?

If you’ve answered “YES”, then…

You, My Friend, Are Dealing with an “Askhole”!

“Circle is not anything new. Circle is an ancient process of consultation and communion, a place for slowing down, respectfully listening and being heard, a place to change the conversation and a way of being together that taps into the deep well of wisdom and creative thinking that is so needed in this time and place in history. Being in Circle is a matter of remembering our original way of being in community.” ~ Birute Regine, author of Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World.

Recent studies show that isolation not only shortens your life, but it can also lead to health problems including dementia. And yet, many of us have fewer friends than we did twenty years ago. Instead, we’re spending more time texting and visiting each other on Facebook than we are cultivating face-to-face relationships or being part of communities.

Have you ever met someone and just knew beyond all rational thinking that you know that person? And that far from being a relationship that you can recall within recent memory, it feels more like an indescribable recognition that plumbs the entire expanse of your body, being and soul?

There is no doubting that this type of soul-level recognition is something that occurs at least once for most of us over the course of our individual lifetimes. The instant familiarity combined with the intensity of emotion that often accompanies such encounters can reveal itself through both sexual as well as platonic relationships when they emerge.

New observation techniques increase galactic field mapping accuracy.

The LOw-Frequency ARray, (LOFAR) is a radio interferometer, or radio telescope, made up of several observing stations in Europe. Signals received at the various observing stations are digitally integrated into a phased array, which is a collection of dipole antennas that can be individually energized, causing them to go in or out of phase. This allows radio astronomers to adjust the various antennas, combining their sensitivity and providing a substantial field of view. In the past, large radio telescopes needed to be pointed at different observation positions, which increased their noise levels. LOFAR does not move, so is a more highly attuned instrument in the 10-240 megahertz range.

Galactic magnetic fields were discovered more than 50 years ago. How those fields are generated continues to be a mystery. What gives them their shape and their strength?

According to a recent press release, astronomers using LOFAR observed Galaxy M51, otherwise known as the Whirlpool Galaxy...
