Shawn Thornton developed pineal gland cancer while he was attending art school. (Don’t be sad, he got better.) While he had cancer, he created a series of paintings that will just take your breath away.

As his cancer progressed, his art became more and more complex and beautiful.

Some people believe that the pineal gland is the seat of consciousness and is tied to mysticism, spirituality and DMT. Some say Thornton’s paintings look a bit like DMT trips. Check out some of his work below!

DMT, which is easily one of the most powerful psychedelic drugs, could provide a method of access to other planes of existence, according to Rick Strassman’s book DMT: The Spirit Molecule. It could be that these other planes are always there and available, but we just can’t perceive them. Our brains are programmed for normal, not multidimensional perception. That could be why DMT is the key to understanding our universe, and maybe other universes too.

But what if DMT could lead us to other universes? Theoretical physicists think that parallel universes could possibly exist, based on the phenomenon of interference. You can demonstrate this phenomenon by allowing light to pass throw a narrow hole in cardboard...

Society, respective of where you reside, will layout what is accepted as right and wrong but it often never takes into account what the Soul desires to experience and with whom it has agreed to share those experiences with.

While incarnate, some Beings have chosen to experience being a victim, predator or even a hero. Anything and everything is fair game but some will continue to play their role when disincarnate until they come to the realization they no longer have a body. Some realize immediately, some don’t. There is no ticking clock and everyone has as much ‘time’ as they need. Every role we choose to play while incarnate is just that, a temporary role. No different than playing the role of Mystic, Healer, Bodhisattva or Consciousness Explorer. Each role requires a different set of skills and level of awareness but It just depends on how you choose to experience this specific aspect of your Self, one of the many pieces of the bigger you that makes up some of your immense HigherSelf.incarnate is just that, a temporary role. No different than playing the ro...

It becomes clear to anyone who looks around that we live in a broken world.

Things happen every day that are appalling to say the least, and a lot of them are hidden from public view. Corporations and shadow governments run this world secretly (yet out in the open), and most common people are too internally divided to unite and address the problems that run rampant.

Depending on how we see the world, it could be the worst place to live or the best. This could be the most desolate, corrupt and broken planet in our mostly unexplored cosmos if we let it, and those of you who are alarmed or even depressed because of our world’s current condition are, in a way, right to feel the way you do.

A lot of things need to change. This has become increasingly clear, and every day, more and more people are awakening to the corruption of the elitist forces who strive to rule over us and the necessity to come together and...

Mindfulness and Addiction

Addictions generally are the side-effect of a grasping mind. When we try to cling to things beyond our reach or moments in our lives that have passed, it can sometimes lead to negative emotions or trigger unhealthy feelings. Generally, it is when an individual feels excessive helplessness toward situations in his or her life, addictions and other coping mechanisms can form to help deal with the emotions.

Unfortunately, in many cases it can be hard to truly see what is causing the emotions and what we are grasping for or reaching toward. This is where mindfulness meditation can begin to help with the discovery of the root causes for most addictions.

Meditation and practicing mindfulness can help us learn a greater capacity to see further into ourselves to explore our emotions and thoughts. Life can be full of many confusing and conflicting emotions. On occasion, an individuals core values can be violated by the actions or words of another which can also lead to addiction and the need to cope.

Awareness that is shared blooms into realized consciousness.  It is the voice of the universe speaking directly to our hearts, where its seed rests and remains.

Awareness is like water upon the soil of our soul that refreshes when the dry wasteland of the mind parches us. It is the point within, where the differences can dissolve into unity.

Namaste.

It is now blatantly obvious that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are nothing more than patented Pesticide Delivery Systems (PDS) designed to increase sales of poisonous agrochemicals such as Roundup, glufosinate, Bt, 2,4 D and neonicotinoids. To claim that GMOs are perfectly safe is equivalent to saying that pesticides, herbicides and fungicides—systemically laced at ever-higher levels into GMO-tainted human food and animal feed—are perfectly safe. And to make matters worse, hundreds of millions of pounds of Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world, are now routinely sprayed on 160 different crops, just before harvest, including wheat, potatoes, oats, canola, flax, peas and dried beans. In other words, just about every non-organic item in your supermarket, or every item on your restaurant menu (bread, potatoes, meat, milk) is now tainted with Roundup.

Only in the world of medical treatment do we find concepts such as poison heals cancer and radiation cures it. Any doctor with a reasonable understanding of cellular pathology will agree that not only does ionizing radiation cause secondary cancers, but the disease promoting effects can be absolutely devastating in the long-term well after treatment. In fact, more patients are dying of radiation-induced secondary cancers, which oncologists are often misdiagnosing as the primary cancer spreading.
