The lines of Nazca, as well as the animal and plant geoglyphs associated with them, are amongst the most mysterious ancient works of pre-Colombian Peru, and in fact the world. Far less famous perhaps than the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, or Stonehenge in England, they do fit into the same class as these enigmas, as none of them have been completely decoded.

Ranked probably third in terms of popular ancient places to visit in Peru, with Machu Pic’chu clearly being number one and the Lake Titicaca area number two, Nazca receives hundreds of thousands of tourists per year. Those with the stomach for it fly over the vast Nazca plain in order to observe the mysterious etchings from the air. And others, somewhat apprehensive of climbing into a small plane in a foreign country tend to be satisfied with viewing a couple of the geoglyphs and some of the lines from a tower on the side of the highway.

The Nazca Lines are located in ...

Being human is being in touch and familiar with all aspects of yourself; Higher and Lower, Ego and Id, emotional and psychological, physical and sexual. Deny any one aspect and the whole suffers. ~ Creator

Sometimes we don’t really know how the collective human experience has affected our lives until something hits a mark, and we respond emotionally. The angry don’t know they’re angry, the stressed don’t know they’re stressed, the fearful don’t know they’re fearful, the resentful don’t know they’re resentful. It can be deep inside… stuff we don’t look at and try to resolve because we experience it as normal or necessary.

These emotions or states of mind can become so embedded that if we find ourselves in a safe, non-assaultive, peaceful, loving environment, we get uneasy… like we’re losing our edge. All of a sudden there’s no storm and the sea is calm… and we wonder what to do. “Isn’t there something lurking under the sur...

Recent studies have shown that police are held almost completely unaccountable by the current systems of governmental oversight. Perhaps this is the reason why you are 9 times more likely to be killed by a law enforcement officer than a terrorist. Rather than wait for bloated bureaucracy or corrupt government to save the day, we as activists have to find our ...

Many of you think that to embrace unity consciousness you lose your preferences and your uniqueness. Nothing could be further from the truth! Unity consciousness encourages you to shine your unique energy as a vital and necessary aspect of the whole. It accepts you, and it sees all others as also being vital and necessary to the whole, as well. You still get to be you, and you still get to be discerning about how you spend your time and who you share it with. Think of shoppers in a grocery store. You are all having the same experience, shopping […]

Big-Box stores and their subsidiaries are generically the worst places to buy seafood from. They typically are the first to accept genetically modified foods and compromise the integrity and safety of their seafood supply.

In 2009, Americans spent over $75 billion on seafood. Truly, when that kind of money is talking, the whole world listens.

As such, it’s important to be very careful about what message we transmit through this massive microphone. When we spend our dollars at seafood merchants that are pursuing business models which take environmental issues into account, we offer these purveyors financial incentive to co...

INNER PEACE   We would like to encourage you to go within daily. There is no more important activity that you can do each day, besides breathing and eating! There are many health benefits associated with meditation and daily prayer. PHYSICALLY, you will experience health benefits as you relax and relieve stress. As you work through problems, you will become better equipped to handle stressors as they emerge. MENTALLY, you will become more alert and focused. EMOTIONALLY, you will learn to balance yourself in all situations, regaining your composure more easily. SPIRITUALLY, this is the most important practice to remain consciously connected to Source. Whenever you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, off-center or need clear answers, take time to go within. Train yourself to instantly go into a relaxed state of consciousness. This comes with practice, but is well worth the effort when it comes to helping you achieve a sense of well-being. There is much more we could say on this subject, but like many things, experience is a far better teacher than an orator. Thus, we leave you with this message in hopes that you will take time to go inward these next few moments.   Selamet! Eb 5, Day 252

As you grow, and you do grow, you begin to see and enjoy the comic aspects of life. Yes, comic. What you once took so very seriously, you no longer do. It’s like you play a game of solitaire, and you spread the cards out, and you can see how they present themselves, one after the other, in a sequence never dealt before. The cards fall into place, and they are just cards falling into place. Not serious at all.
 
Yes, life is comic. You have to admit this. Life is indeed a comedy. A lovely result of life is its laughter. Carry a laughter meter with you, and you will find out how you are doing in life. You can even laugh through your tears.
 
What in life is not comical? Or, perhaps, you prefer the word bizarre, or weird, or unpredictable. Isn’t what makes you laugh the unpredictable? Isn’t the punch line of a joke something you don’t see coming? There is even laughter again and again. Every time laughter is a surprise. And why not laughter?
 
You do not mock life, yet you do not take it so seriously. You can have a healthy respect for life and still not get run over by it.
 
Much of life is a mountain made of a mole hole. Is this not so in retrospect?
