“Start living as if you don’t know how to live. Nobody is there to teach you, no guidelines exist. No books exist which say how to do this, how to do that. You are just left alone on an island. Everything is available. Intelligence is within you, instinct is within you, intellect is within you, now start moving.” –Osho

Whether we realize it or not our entire identity is formed off of the relationships that we have with the world around us. In fact, our perception that we even exist at all is dependent upon these relationships to people, places and things, in order to survive.

You can say its because of a global shift in consciousness, a destiny we have arrived at due to spiritual evolution, or the outcome of strange times, but, many people all across the globe are going through intense personal changes and sensing an expansion of consciousness.

In a record breaking low for the amount of trust that Americans place in the government, a new poll from CNN/ORC shows that only 13 percent now trust the government to do the right thing. This is the lowest number registered since polling began, even lower than directly after Nixon’s Watergate scandal when trust was at 36 percent.
