Tai Chi in Life: Learning to Retreat in an Advancing World

Acting from a stable center, the seemingly most frail of a person can parry and vanquish the heaviest and most forceful of foes. To maintain this center one must develop appreciation for both the forward flow of motion and its inverse, digression.

Using Your Thoughts to Better Your Reality

When you understand that all we’re seeing around us is a reflection of worldwide consciousness and what we’ve created and have allowed to be done to us, we start to see that elevating human consciousness is really our solution out of this mess. Because when millions of people around the world are radiating love energy at core level, we simply won’t see all of the problems that we currently do.

Activism Shuts Down ‘Pink Slime’ Plants

Activism is not only effective, but it is viral. These recent food accomplishments show that the consumer does have control over the corporation — you just have to act upon it.

How Many Emotional Toxins Are You Allowing Into Your Life Right Now

The Buddha said, “Life is a journey and you don’t always choose the people with whom you travel that journey”. You are a pilgrim on a trip called life. Whilst on your path, you will meet people who send you plummeting over an emotional cliff. These people come in various shapes, sizes and forms and are called emotional vampires.

Natural Science and the Mystical Worldview

Of all the insights into the nature of objective reality that we owe to natural science, it seems to me that knowledge about the nature of our perception is of especially great significance. It pays to reflect upon the fact that perception by the senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling) not only mediates our contact with the material outer world, but are also the key to the opening of the spiritual world.

“You Just Broke Your Child. Congratulations.”

Whether it’s religion, politics, sports, or societal norms. It is not our place to tell our kids what to think. It is our place to teach our kids to think correctly. If we do this, we need have no fear of what they will decide for themselves and how strongly they’ll stand behind it

Robert Anton Wilson – Techniques of Consciousness Change (Video)

The late Robert Anton Wilson wonders talks about the riddle of consciousness and how the human nervous system locks the entire body together, including the mind. He describes the brain and how it reacts to our cultural programming, our reality tunnel, how our nervous system reprograms itself, and how we can crack our minds open through directed thought. Are psychedelic researchers equivalent as the scientists of the inquisition? How do we perceive our world, and are we doing enough to elevate our consciousness?

Neuroscientist Marc Lewis on His First Acid Trip

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) like paroxetine (Paxil) and fluoxetine (Prozac) are the most prescribed pills in the U.S., used to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and undefined feelings of ickiness. Instead of getting rid of serotonin, these drugs block the reabsorption process so that serotonin keeps piling up in the synapses. The result: an extra-thick blanket of serotonin that filters out the intrusions of anguish and anxiety, making our inner worlds more secure.

This is Yours, That is Mine: The Ownership of Things Is Changing

How hilarious this idea of ownership is! I put up a sign on a piece of land claiming it as mine. That piece of land was already there before I was even born.

No, thanks!
