We’re deviating from our essence of love, succumbing to fear, allowing ourselves to get dragged into senseless conflict and destroying our beautiful planet. “Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside …
Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times It’s amazing, it’s wonderful, and it’s so significant!

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times Between painful discomfort with self and self-love is love of truth. Some may say… let go, let go, let go of the discomfort… but you know, I’m kind of an owl person: I like to go into the ‘dark’… maybe if we really can see how things come apart, we …

Christina Sarich, Contributor Waking Times Our genes have long been ballyhooed as either a death-sentence, or the Midas touch of genius, bestowing upon us pristine health and an agile mind, or the deterministic outcome of cancer, neurological disease, or various other birth ‘defects’, but what if there was something else helping to determine our fate? …
Luminita Saviuc, Purpose Fairy Waking Times I love Eckhart Tolle.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times Who or what am I? We say “I Am”, but who or what is that? It seems there are many answers offered. Maybe the question has been fully answered for you. To me, the ‘I Am’ relates to empowerment as a Being; the capacity to create, the discipline to surrender …
Gary “Z” McGee, Staff Writer Waking Times “A human being is part of the whole called by us universe. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
