Trusting uncertainty sounds paradoxical. Attachment to our identification with the personality makes it feel as though nothing good will come out of our circumstances. The personality has good intent but many of its actions are misguided. A life without self-worth drives it to madness of which it is largely unaware. Failure to embrace what seems like uncertainty, doubt and instability heightens the madness. Acceptance is not always easy, especially at first. However, if we practice trusting uncertainty with the little things in our lives we will be more prepared for the bigger things.

 Every step on the path to spiritual awakening verifies that we are an important part of the universe which is always under construction. Trusting and embracing the constant change is easier said than done. A large part of the personality’s job is to resist change. The desire to fix things according to it’s own idea of perfection causes attachment and frustration. Unconsciously blaming the circumstances and situations of our lives for not making us happy is common. What we really want is to be in union with the source of happiness. The feeling of worth or significance ceases to be a moving target when we realize WE ARE the infinite value which we seek.

The pineal gland, which is a small gland located near the center of your brain, is considered by some to be the gateway to higher levels of consciousness. Anatomically, it functions as the producer of melatonin, and some scientists believe that it also releases Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, during periods of great stress.

Some believe that as we get older, our pineal gland begins to calcify. To be clear, there have been no studies conducted on this matter, so there is no scientific consensus on the matter. But there are ways to prevent calcification apparently.

Cut out the fluoride.

Fluoride is in a bunch of common things, like tap water and toothpaste. To avoid this, purchase fluoride-free toothpaste and properly filter your tap water before drinking it. Do not buy bottled water...

We've talked about the spiral path a lot in these posts to help explain how even though it may seem we are repeating issues and patterns over again, we are not going round in circles. Rather, we are always going higher, gaining new insights and awareness, and travelling deeper, seeing clearer into more aspects of our hidden selves.

Until recently, this has felt much like a never- ending excavation process with us wondering, when will it end? Well, we have finally broken through into a new space as a collective, allowing us a very new experience with our spiral path.

We have become experts at going 'deeper', yet the 'going higher' part seemed to have a cap on it. It was as if we could only see or receive so much, but no more. Or it was easy to feel connected for minutes or hours, but not days or weeks. We discovered and remembered many of energy's natural laws - that we are the creators of our reality, that if you can imagine it, it is possible - but it has been a challenge to remain vigilant over subconscious thoughts and beliefs that have ruled the roost for so long, constantly wanting control over our steering wheel.

2015 has brought with it a massive shift. We have received an upgrade unlike any other so far. We have emerged into a higher level of 'the field' than we have had access to before on this grand a scale when it comes to number of people residing in it.

How Big Is Your But Now?

The only obstacle to our personal peace of mind is our unconscious desire to get rid of peace. Don’t believe it? How often do we say or think something along these lines: If someone else had behaved or spoken differently I wouldn’t be upset or angry, but they didn’t do what I expected of them…

Injecting “but” in the middle of a thought or statement might disrupt us and keep us from experiencing what we really want – which is to be happy and at peace.

Justifying Anger – Holding Grievances

If we feel okay with holding grievances then what we are stating is that someone else is completely responsible for the way we feel...

As you look out into the world, there are multiple realities existing simultaneously. Don't let the existence of the lower aspects of society and humanity, or even your own self, make you doubt the existence of the higher aspects. When you see the lower end of a see-saw you don't say "See, the see-saw is down, I have trouble believing a higher end even exists. I give up!"

Imagine that you are on that see-saw, with some aspects of you on the lower end, and some on the higher. People think that if they go on the higher end, whether by raising their consciousness or becoming more successful or wealthier or healthier or whatever the case, they are betraying those on the 'lower' end, but the opposite is true when done with integrity.

Is a matriarchal society the solution to our problems?

I’ve just returned from Crete, where I visited the ancient palace of Knossos, and the archaeological museum in Heraklion, where thousands of the artifacts and artworks of ancient Crete are displayed.

The most striking thing about the culture of ancient Crete (or Minoan culture, as it is often called) is how prominent women are. They are everywhere in Minoan artwork, on pottery, frescoes and figurines (small stone statues). They are shown as priestesses, goddesses, dancing and talking at social occasions, in beautiful dresses with their breasts on show. There is a striking fresco of a beautifully dressed woman surrounded by a group of half naked dancing men. It is clear that – as many archaeologists have agreed – this was a society in which women had very high status; at least as high as men...
