This British mum smacks down the punishing culture of the public school system . She gives a chilling account of what happened when her son was given confusing commands, humiliated in front of class, brought to tears and trauma and how it was covere...

A groundbreaking new study published in the prestigious journal Nature has revealed how non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NAS) drive obesity- and diabetes-related changes in both mice and humans.

The study titled, “Artificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota,” states:

GARDEN OF POSSIBILITIES   Today we will embark on a journey inward, to the place where ideas and dreams are seeded. These are created first by the mind and then with conscious intention. For anything to become a reality in your personal life, you must first know it as a possibility. Then among the myriad of possibilities, you may choose those that you would like to incorporate into your life. We will use the an analogy of a garden. In order to create a garden, you must first have a basic idea of what a garden is. Gardens are of human creation, nature does not plant gardens, as such, unless you choose to look at the entire surface of the earth as one garden. Now, you have seen gardens and decided you would like to create one in your space. What do you want to put into your garden: fruits, veggies, herbs, flowers? How will you decide what to put in your garden: see what others are growing, deciding what foods you like to eat, browsing seed catalogs? After you have chosen what you would like to grow, it is time to choose the seeds you will plant. You will also need to know what steps are needed to allow the seeds to grow and mature. These include issues such as soil temperature, irrigation needs, sunlight and fertilizer. Creating anything in your life follows the same pattern. It is up to you to choose which seed and the amount of nurturance or attention you will give that seed. The fulfillment of your goals and dreams are in your hands.

Love is always to be renewed. Not vows of love but love itself. Each moment of life is precious. This is not a platitude. Life cannot be taken for granted. Life is a gift that you are given for a while, yet you do not while away this gift. You dispense and disperse it.
 
Each person you meet is meant to be dear to you. Even those that pestered you or were a thorn in your side or were negligible to you and have gone over the horizon of the waves of the ocean, you might give a lot to see them once again and make amends. You might well sing a different tune now.  Do not wait. Do not be late.
 
Each person is a Being, hand-made by God. Very precious are the souls who wander on Earth, trying to find their way. What can you do but have compassion for all created Beings sent out into the world? What can you do but welcome them? What can you do but make the world a little easier for all? For this, you require a longer view.

HJ: Every day your body regenerates millions of cells.  This process can be supported and even increased in quality and efficiency by eating specific foods and herbs.  And furthermore, you can even target specific bodily tissues and systems with various medicinal substances, as is outlined in the article below.

The body is a remarkable machine that runs primarily on nutrients we get from the things we eat as well as various environmental factors such as air, water, sunshine, etc.  Of course there are spiritual and energetic factors as well, but that is beyond the scope of this article.  By intentionally ingesting these ‘supercharging substances’, you can promote the rapid regeneration, rejuvenation and healing of some of your body’s most important cells.

6 Bodily Tissues That Can Be Regenerated Through Nutrition

“If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” is a saying you have in your Earth plane existence.  Take a moment and think about that statement and how many times you have said it.  What does it really mean?  In one, seemingly innocuous, sentence you are turning over your power and individuality to the mass consciousness.  Once again, free will comes into play.  It is completely up to you to allow yourself to be guided by your heart or to move with the crowd.  The only thing The Universe asks is that you do what gives you the most joy. ~ Creator

Many of you would like to meditate, but you put it off thinking it takes up too much of your time. Dear Ones, you only need a very short amount of time in meditation to reap considerable benefit. You see, when you are in a meditative state, you are in a state of pure connection, in a place that exists beyond time and space. Because of that, even a short time in meditation would equal many hours of ideal, calm, peaceful, balanced, creative, rejuvenating, human time. The power of meditation is that it is both condensed, and expanded, which makes […]

Religious labels help shore up identity. So what are some of the things non-believers can call themselves?

Catholic, born-again, Reformed, Jew, Muslim, Shiite, Sunni, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist…religions give people labels. The downside can be tribalism, an assumption that insiders are better than outsiders, that they merit more compassion, integrity and generosity or even that violence toward “infidels” is acceptable. But the upside is that religious or spiritual labels offer a way of defining who we are.  They remind adherents that our moral sense and quest for meaning are core p...

The war on drugs is a cruel joke. The U.S. spends more than $50 billion a year on the “war on drugs” with the goal of creating a “drug-free society” – yet there has never been a “drug-free society” in the history of civilization. Virtually all of us take drugs every single day.  Caffeine, sugar, alcohol, marijuana, Prozac, Ritalin, opiates and nicotine are just some of the substances that Americans use on a regular basis.

Drugs are so popular because peo...
