Genetically-modified food is one of the most controversial subjects today. Not only are regulations loose and manufacturers getting away with not labeling them, they’re being approved at an alarmingly swift rate without the appropriate long-term health assessment. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved of two GMO foods, potatoes and apples, as safe and equally nutritious as conventional varieties, and they’re pushing to get these items to a grocery store near you.

The world is in a great initiation, a giant transition. Now is not the time to follow the old rules! It’s time to question the (de)construction of every wall. Those of us willing to identify as leaders and healers are uniquely poised to help this process. Surviving crisis is written in our DNA, but this time around, the scale is larger. So what qualities leaders and healers need in the real world to bring The Great Turning to life.

The ancient Indian spice turmeric strikes again! A new study finds turmeric extract selectively and safely killing cancer stem cells in a way that chemo and radiation cannot. A ground-breaking new study published in the journal Anticancer Research reveals that one of the world’s most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment: the primary polyphenol in the ancient spice turmeric known as curcumin, has the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, which are at the root of cancer malignancy, while having little to no toxicity on normal stem cells, which are essential for tissue regeneration and longevity. 

In 2011, while working as a finance broker, I discovered that I had inadvertently been made an accessory to one of the biggest deceptions going on right in our midst - Banks do not actually 'lend' anything, they create 'money' from thin air and 'loan' it to you, at interest. This is the lie upon which the entire world of banking and finance is founded, and keeps us in a state of perpetual debt-bondage. Based on these findings, I left my job within a couple of days. For good. Then, the most logical thing to do appeared to be directly “putting to the test” the financial service providers I had engaged in my personal life. Surely, in a transparent and honest business transaction, it shouldn’t be difficult for either party to ease the other's concerns pertaining to their mutual contract. Naively, that’s what I expected – at least initially. 

I travel a lot, and I meet the most well-intentioned, beautiful beings who are fighting against the injustices of the world. They stand for ending sexual violence against women, the destruction of Gaia, climate change, social inequality, and any number of other very good causes. I appreciate that these people are DOING something to heal the world. Their passion seems admirable and their commitment and self-sacrifice command respect. Yet, I find something about the energy of some forms of activism weighing heavy on my heart. We’ve all met the angry feminists that lash out at men, the rainforest activists who judge those who drill in the Amazon, and the Occupy activists who hate the 1%. But how can we possibly co-create a more beautiful world if we’re coming from the energy of judgment and hate?

Hitting against a glass ceiling means that you are READY to take your self-understanding and personal growth to the next level and with it, a deepening of the relationships and life-situations which will support you through your next growth themes. But in order to do that, you need to dissolve the glass ceiling that has so masterfully guided you to this point. How do you dissolve your glass ceiling? It is important to note that there is no quick, one-remedy fix and what you ‘need’ to do will vary according your individual circumstances, current level of self-awareness and needs. I can however offer you a general guide which I have laid out here. 

The grand facade of perpetual expansion on a finite planet is at its end, the global economy is collapsing, the illusion is unravelling by the day. As the walls of the industrialized civilization begin to crumble, the power structure is desperately trying to carry out multiple agendas, including the ongoing climate engineering insanity. Economic collapse is coming because everyone knows that everyone knows the system is fraudulent, and no amount of bogus economic reports can mask this fact. The climate engineering deception is being used to mask an unfolding global collapse while at the same time, contributing to the collapse itself. 

It can feel hard to put even ten minutes aside for meditation practice. The driven voice in my head tries to convince me that this practice of pausing and connecting with presence is a waste of time. It’s a compelling voice, particularly on days when it feels like there are so many urgent things to do. But it’s especially on those days, when I manage to recognise those sabotaging thoughts for what they are, that I find so much benefit from meditating. 

More young men die in the UK each day as a result of suicide than road accidents, HIV and assaults combined. Suicide is now the biggest killer of young men across the UK. The reasons for suicide are complex and often very individual. To really understand, we need to look at how the human brain evolved.

Hemp is one of the world’s oldest sources of food and medicine, with a history that dates back 10,000 years. It relieves glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, insomnia, asthma, the nausea associated with AIDS and chemotherapy, and a host of other conditions. It was once a staple in every American medicine cabinet. 

To understand liver cleansing, it’s necessary to understand the function of the liver is to process toxins. If a liver running at 60% efficiency is leaving 40% of toxins unprocessed to accumulate in and float around, what effect do you think that has on your body?
