Overcoming Big Brother’s Four-fold Ministry of Fail
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear.” –George Orwell
Orwell’s 1984 is one of the most influential novels of all time. In it he predicted with uncanny accuracy our current state of affairs. Big Brother has become a metaphor for the surveillance state erected around us without our permission.
In a true democracy, one actually ruled by the people, such an entity would never exist. But since we live in an oligarchy, and more specifically a paranoid plutocracy, we the people have no say, except when we join together in solidarity. In this article we will break down the four main culprits of the mass surveillance state, using the four overreaching and insidious tentacles of Big Brother as a metaphor, and see if there’s anything we can do to overcome them.

Medical Cannabis a Much Safer Alternative to Painkillers
Marco Torres, Prevent Disease
Waking Times
Every year, painkillers such as percocet, vicodin and other opioids kill thousands. Opioid prescriptions have jumped 300 percent in the last decade and they are the most commonly prescribed drugs on the market. They are the most dangerous and addictive drugs that often lose effectiveness with long-term use. So when a plant comes along that can effectively curb dependency on these popular selling medications, pharmaceutical companies get very get angry. Marijuana does just that.
The collusion between Big Pharma and Government is so strong that the system still believes (through corruption) that a plant should be classified as an illegal drug. There is an abundance of evidence that the suppression of medical marijuana is one of the greatest failures of a free society, journalistic and scientific integrity as well as our fundamental values. There is no plant on Earth more condemned than marijuana.
Geophysicists challenge traditional theory underlying the origin of mid-plate volcanoes
Source of volcanoes may be much closer than scientists thought...
A long-held assumption about the Earth is discussed in today's edition of Science, as Don L. Anderson, an emeritus professor with the Seismological Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology, and Scott King, a professor of geophysics in the College of Science at Virginia Tech, look at how a layer beneath the Earth's crust may be responsible for volcanic eruptions.
The discovery challenges conventional thought that volcanoes are caused when plates that make up the planet's crust shift and release heat.
Instead of coming from deep within the interior of the planet, the responsibility is closer to the surface, about 80 kilometers to 200 kilometers deep -- a layer above the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere.

7 Chakras & 7 Links to Your Subconscious!
By: Davina Skinner
The Chakras do not start and end with their description or definition – which is where many people stop with their understanding of them. To know their name and position is great but what purpose does that serve? What use is that information to you in your daily life? The Chakras are amazing, organic, 3 Dimensional Centers of Energy and within them they hold so many secrets.
When their energy is combined, it makes up what we call the Aura, the energy field within and around the human body. It is within this energy sphere that psychics can ‘see’ and can discern many things about you that the ‘normal’ person is not consciously aware of.

4 Interesting Things About the Third Eye Everyone Should Know
By: Scott Thill
Located in nearly the direct center of the brain, the tiny pinecone-shaped pineal gland, which habitually secretes the wondrous neurohormone melatonin while we sleep at night, was once thought to be a vestigial leftover from a lower evolutionary state.
Indeed, according to recent research, we could be increasing our chances of contracting chronic illnesses like cancer by unnecessarily bathing its evenings in artificial light, working night shifts or staying up too late. By disrupting the pineal gland and melatonin’s chronobiological connection to Earth’s rotational 24-hour light and dark cycle, known as its circadian rhythm, we’re possibly opening the doors not to perception, but to disease and disorder. A recently published study from Vanderbilt University has found associations between circadian disruption and heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Overcoming Obstacles: Day 94, Ix 3
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES One way to gracefully overcome obstacles is to prepare yourself before you stumble. Many of you stumble over the same rock several times and either are unaware of repeating this pattern or once aware, you decide to take measures so you will not stumble on the rock again. This is the difference between unconscious and conscious living. When you pay attention to what is happening around you, the life you live becomes more meaningful and magical.
Once you are consciously aware of the rock, you come up with solutions to avoid stumbling over it again. In your mind, you see yourself either stepping over the rock or around the rock. Perhaps you choose to move the rock to the side of the path. Maybe you choose to put a colorful flag or sign next to the rock to alert yourself the next time you walk the path. Perhaps you choose to paint the rock a bright color.
Whichever choice you make creates a different impact upon you and the rock. However, the result will be the same; you will break the pattern of stumbling over the rock. You may find that your first choice isn’t effective. Let’s say you chose to place a flag next to the rock, but the wind blew the flag over and you stumbled on the rock again. Simply choose another method until the pattern is broken.

Deep Within Your Heart of Gold
In your heart I abide. I am always right here within your beating heart. You can always find Me here, for, deep within your heart of gold am I.
I am not isolated on top of a mountain. Where I am, are you. We can put it differently and say that wherever you are, am I. It makes no difference how We say it. We do not exist without the other, the so-called other, the so-called other who stands across from Us or above or under the threshold of Our hearts. One heart beats. Is it yours or Mine? Who can tell? You can never figure it out because there is no really separate heart beating in the wilderness somewhere.
If wilderness means without God, then, there is no wilderness. If wilderness means without you, that, also, is not possible. It is not possible, yet the world has perceived it this way. You have been perceived as you alone, you all alone. I am not hidden. From My heart, you are never missing. So what is this hullabaloo? I, God, am never away from you, and you cannot be away from Me except in your awareness. Well, then, get a new awareness.
I look into your eyes, and I see a reflection of Myself. Look into My eyes, and you will see a reflection of your Self. You need look no further. This is it. There is no solitary. There is no aloneness. It is a myth that perpetuates a search for Me when I am already stationed in your heart. Look no further. I am your Innermost Being. I never left your heart, nor yours Mine, the One Heart.
