When your love and acceptance of self matches the unconditional love and acceptance Source has for you, is when the stream of all good things you have been seeking will effortlessly flow into your existence. You simply cannot attract what you do not think you are worthy to receive. ~Archangel Gabriel

Just as Edward Snowden made huge headlines (and still is) all over the world, William Binney did the same in 2001 when he resigned from the National Security Agency (NSA) after 9/11 and blew the lid on an NSA mass surveillance program.

He worked for the agency for more than thirty years, and was the leading code-breaker against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He’s had quite the run, starting in 2002 when he let the public know of a system (‘trailblazer’) intended to analyze data carried on communicat...

Life in the world keeps chugging along. Life in the world, as you know it, may never settle down. Therefore, it is incumbent for you to settle down. Within yourself, you settle down. You are wise and calm. Life brings unexpected stories, and yet you can read these stories without alarm. What an imagination life has! What it puts together cannot be taken back, yet, what life puts together keeps changing and growing, and sometimes dreams do come true.
 
There are dreams you have that are imminently true. Before peace fully reigns in the world, and it will, you give it a head-start by realizing peace within you. Peace does not really come from outside you. For one thing, beloveds, there is no outside you. It seems so. It seems that sunlight comes from outside you, yet you are the Sun. Storms seem to come from outside you, yet you are also the storm. Neither weather nor foe comes from outside you.
 
Nor am I outside you. Everything is within you. Everything is reflected within you, and everything within you is also reflected outside you.
 
You are your own best friend, and you are your own best challenge. When all is right with you, then all may be right with the world.

“All adversities are here to help you. They can become instruments of your progress.”  ~ Swami Rama

Would you return a really expensive gift from a friend that you’ve coveted for ages? What about the opportunity to uncover one of your own personal assets, long hidden by years of accumulated dust and wanton negligence? As odd as it seems, adversity is as valuabl...

There’s a revolution happening in Sweden right now. Dubbed the “recycling revolution,” the Scandinavian country now recycles 99 percent of their garbage, edging closer to a zero-waste lifestyle, nationwide.

Wouldn’t it be great if no household waste was wasted? If each and every item of refuse was turned into something else — new products, raw materials, gas or at least heat?

Sweden is almost there. More than 99 per cent of all household waste is recycled in one way or another. This means that the country has gone through something of a recycling revolution in the last decade...

Scientific studies indicate that current medications target the wrong parts of the brain.

A new study is challenging the relationship between depression and an imbalance of serotonin levels in the brain, and brings into doubt how depression has been treated in the U.S. over the past 20 years.

Researchers at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center and Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit have bred mice who cannot produce serotonin in their brains, which should theoretically make them chr...

HJ: The power of habits is immense.  The things we practice regularly are the things we master and the things that propel our lives forward with incredible speed and power.  There are few things in this world that will lead to incredibly rapid self growth and transformation as do habits.

Speaking from experience, habits have allowed me to do many, many incredible things.  For example, this website is a type of habit.  Everyday, I post an article and write some commentary.  2.5 years in we have had over 3.6 million visitors and have tangibly changed the lives of countless people.  This website has changed the world for the better.  All from one simple little habit practiced daily.  And that is just the tip of the iceberg.  I could go on for pages about the things I have learned about myself in the process and the incredible skills I have picked up as a result.  They have gone on to create great abundance, happiness and joy in my life.

The time is going to pass anyways so you might as well put it to good use : )

It is the attempted rejection of your authentic power, and later, the attempted abandonment of your ego self, that has perpetuated your individual fears of rejection, abandonment and separation. As you continue to attempt to reject parts of yourself, you are actively practicing separation consciousness, and will continue to experience the energies of (and fear of) separation and rejection in your outward experience as well. As always, change must start from within. As you learn to love, accept, nurture, and celebrate all parts of yourself, and your truth as a beloved aspect of Source, you will then experience inclusion, unconditional […]

Those with darkness clinging to them will always be drawn to your light. Your skills will be called into action. However, it will be up to your ‘human side’ to decipher whether they are ready to heal and willing to change. ~ Creator
