There is a type of thinking, well known to the most creative minds, where the thinker becomes an observer of their mind at work. However, for nearly everyone who enters this state of mindfulness at times the thinker descends in consciousness and becomes identified with negative or limiting thought processes – I’m not good enough, I can never do this, this is too difficult.
The alchemists, over the course of centuries, had generated a wide range of symbolic images which directly corresponded to the anatomy of the unconscious which Jung had been mapping through his painstaking work with thousands of patients. Jung, in illuminating the psychology of the unconscious, can himself be considered a modern-day alchemist. Jung continues that “the entire alchemical procedure….could just as well represent the individuation process of a single individual.”
Like an entity with many tentacles, in addition to its physical and mental components, Covid-19 also has an interpersonal, behavioral vector of transmission. In other words, in affecting our minds (and thus, how we think and feel), Covid-19 impacts our behavior, which in turn influences how we interact with each other and the world around us. The virus deeply impacts the underlying social matrix that fashions human culture, practically leaving no stone unturned in its effects upon our world.
Released on 11/11/11, the film, “THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?” was an unconventional documentary that lifted the veil on what’s REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream and uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives.“THRIVE II: This Is What It Takes” Released Globally on September 26, 2020
We can be of maximum benefit for both ourselves and the world at large when we are intimately connected with our intrinsic wholeness, whose natural perspective is not fixed in any particular dogmatic viewpoint or fixed narrative but sees things from as many points of view as we are able to imagine.
Unfortunately, more-for-more business model is becoming obsolete for three reasons. First, a big portion of customers can no longer afford expensive products, due to diminishing purchasing power. Second, we are running out of natural resources, namely water and oil. And third and most important, the growing income disparity between the wealthy and everyone else has led to a big disconnect between existing products and services and customers’ essential needs.
Heartland Security is the love-based counterpoint to the fear-based context of “Homeland Security.”Both ancient spiritual wisdom and modern “new edge” science point us toward humanity’s next evolutionary understanding that we are all cells in the body of humanity.
According to the News Release, “The People’s Party will register in all 50 states and intends to win the presidency in 2024. It will run on a new social contract of desperately-needed progressive policies such as Medicare for all, free public college, abolishing mass incarceration, a basic income, and a Green New Deal — overwhelmingly popular policies that the establishment parties refuse to support”.
When you commit to discovering purpose in your life every day, you come to realize that YOU are the master of your reality and your world, and you have the innate power to change your inner and outer circumstances.
Life is a succession of beginnings. Every day, every hour, every moment in life, every one of us is confronted with new beginnings. Most beginnings appear small and insignificant, but if we think about it, nothing could be further from the truth, because everything that is starts with a beginning. The oak tree begins as an acorn, the flooding begins with a few drops of rain, the life-changing invention begins with an idea, the body begins as a cell, mastership begins with the decision to grow into a master, a book begins with a first sentence, the words „I have a dream …“
Letting Go of Doing is not about not doing things. It is about letting go of the doing mode of consciousness – the attitude we bring to our doing. The “doing mode” tells us we have to make a phone call, run an errand, respond to an email, do the laundry, complete the budget, prepare for the meeting. These may well be things that we have to do. But when we are stuck in the “doing mode” our attention is caught in the “having to do them, drive to get them done.
The future is coming faster and faster. This speeding up is the consequence of innovation breeding innovation, leading to exponential rates of development. As well as the many scientific and technological advances this will bring, it also places stress on the underlying systems – personal, social, planetary – accompanied by growing crises. Now more than ever we need our spiritual practice, to stay cool, calm, and collected in the coming storm of change.
When persuading individuals to take action or adopt change, stories are more effective than facts. Stories bring down resistance and open the mind of the listener to new possibilities. Effective storytelling engages the audience into the story as actors, not simply listeners.
In the challenging times that we are living through, it is crucially important for us to not “fit in,” but rather, express our unique creative spirit that more than anything wants to come through us and find its place in the world. Instead of blindly and passively subscribing to the new normal, let us create “the new abnormal,” in which we step into the radical act of being our naturally creative selves.
If we really want to live in a world of love and joy and abundance and peace, we need to start CREATING this world, and we create this world by ACTIVELY ENTERTAINING the idea of world peace and getting busy and serious creating peace in our own sphere of influence.
By revealing that we live in a thoroughly quantum universe, quantum physics is literally placing the keys to our future in our own hands – the question is, do we know how to wisely use the gift that is being freely offered to us?
Surrender is one of the most empowering, liberating, spiritually fulfilling experiences life can offer us. It’s much more enlightening than the mind can imagine. So it is going to take tremendous courage, strength, and patience to totally surrender your egoic desires to higher intelligence and guidance. Yet the good news is that surrender frees you from any suffering you are experiencing… instantly!
Seemingly forever, turmeric has been a primary spice used in natural medicine to heal a wide variety of ailments. Extracted from the ground up roots of the Curcuma longa plant is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent called curcumin.
Imagine the world thirty years from now. Very likely we’ll see quantum computing, nano-tech medicine, 3D-printed organs, artificial intelligence surpassing that of the human brain, possibly fusion power. Advances in molecular biology could be pushing life-expectancy ahead faster than we are aging. Our bodies, senses, and mental functions may be augmented in ways that seem like science fiction today.
When a seed — or an animal — or a man is ripe, it must mature to its next phase. Or rot. Stewart Edward White.
The various environmental, economic, and social problems confronting us are symptomatic of a deeper underlying crisis — a crisis in our thinking, perception, and values.
Before we can begin to consider the evolution of consciousness, we have to ask when consciousness first arose. Are human beings alone conscious, or are other creatures also conscious? Is an animal such as a dog, for example, conscious?
A few years ago, an acquaintance of mine moved to Barcelona to begin a contract job. Within minutes of arriving at the airport, all his luggage was stolen, including his wallet, with his money and the contact details for his job in it.
Your subconscious mind works best when your conscious mind is asleep or pleasantly occupied. In between intending and manifesting must be a temporary period of forgetting. If you want a good parking spot, give yourself enough time to forget about your intent before you get there. The sooner you think about something else the sooner reality can get to work. There is no easier way to take your conscious mind off something than by keeping yourself busy with something else.
