It’s no secret that food security is becoming a critical issue around the world. With drought, economic instability, erratic weather and interruptions in transportation a very real threat, it really doesn’t take much to have the food supply disrupted. But it’s not all doom and gloom. As once famously said: “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Taking this proverb and running with it, a team of innovators from Quebec, Canada have developed an eco-friendly and exceptionally cost-effective solution to our food woes ~ the greenhouse of the future.

So often we ask, “Are you happy?” But is this the question we should be asking? I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen the slogan on Facebook (paraphrased): "If someone doesn’t make you happy, let them go." Do we ever consider: “If someone doesn’t make you happy, maybe there is something in you that needs reckoning.” Or, “If someone doesn’t make you happy, buck up because they need your loving kindness”? 

If you have been researching the New World Order, Illuminati, etc., you may have come across the assertion that the elite have been deliberately promoting a “gay agenda“, i.e. pushing homosexuality as part of their master plan. But the idea that the elite could even promote homosexuality is based on the (false) assumption that being gay is a choice, not an inherent orientation. This is simply more divide and conquer tactics, designed to keep the masses infighting and distracted from the real oppressors – the military-industrial-intelligence-banking cabal, who are in turn possessed by a darker force.

Is consciousness an illusion? Since the dawning of the Age of Reason in the 1700s, materialistic philosophy as we know it — derived from the mechanistic worldview — has steadfastly maintained that what we call experience arises solely as a by-product of the brain’s internal workings. No brain, no consciousness. But is it really that simple? What about functions of consciousness that appear to transcend the cranial boundaries of our heads? Is the belief in a mechanistic universe just a modern superstition that is hindering our understanding of consciousness?

No, I haven’t turned to the dark-side, but rather I am transcending sides. Intrinsic within this holographic spell is the notion that duality and polarity are natural aspects of life, and that we must serve one side of duality or the other. This elegantly simple binary imprint has become so prominent that we have lost sight of the larger holographic spell that spawned it. Indeed, we have lost sight of the hologram all together, and come to believe that it is the sum total of reality. In this reality, both sides are two halves of the same coin...

Through all of the distraction and pressures that come with living on earth today, many of us struggle to tap into the innate essence that we require to elevate our consciousness and live up to our spiritual potential. But just because we haven’t tapped into it yet doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. We have more potential to access and greater perception to explore than we realize. But, if we want to find it, we have to be willing to transcend the constant mental chatter that vies for our attention, and learn to quiet the cloudy thought forms that keep us from connecting with spirit and enjoying the love, bliss and pure awareness that results.

You know that when you’re getting chased by a tiger, you’re almost in a car accident, your “to do” list is overflowing, and you’re burning the candle at both ends, your body’s “fight-or-flight” stress responses are going to get triggered. But you might not know what else will trigger stress responses in your body, and it’s important that you do!
