Marc Oromaner, Contributor Waking Times Enlightenment. The moment we consciously connect to eternal truth. It’s when we see through the veil of this illusionary world, rising above ego, time, materialism, and our own emotions to see the bigger picture—that we are all one. It’s what all gurus, spiritualists, yogis, Buddhists, monks, meditators, shamans, artists, writers, …
Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times I was thinking about this very subject and sat down to put some notes together when I stopped to moderate comments on the site. And here was this synchronistic and very wise comment from Soliel: Despite all the fear-mongering out there, many have remained steadfast in their truth. The juggernaut …
Tom Shroder, AlterNet Waking Times In the past decade, after thirty years in the deep freeze, research into the medicinal use of psychedelic drugs, ranging from psilocybin to Ketamine, and from MDMA to LSD, has begun to accelerate.

Dr. Mercola Waking Times Between 2012 and mid-2014, Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) successfully blocked GMO labeling legislation in over 30 states, at a price tag of more than $100 million.

Pao L. Chang, Guest Waking Times Many of us seem to think that being spiritual means we have to be religious. Just because you aren’t directly affiliated with a specific religion doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to be more spiritual. The whole concept of spiritual awareness isn’t all about connecting with a higher divine power, …
Soren Dreier, Guest Waking Times I touched upon The Golden Cave, as being the realm of the inner Core that we have. I would like to go further into that. Caves with wonderful treasures have attracted explorers and bounty hunters throughout time. The idea of wonderful treasures of ancient and more present times is very persistent …
Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times A note from Zen: An answer to a question from awakening siblings about how have I kept up with world and American events being outside the US so many years.

Isaac Davis, Contributor Waking Times Few things are more disturbing than looking at the news each day to find yet another shocking case of American police officers using excessive brutality and belligerence against the public. There is no justification for this, and as the list of egregious rights violations by the police grows, more Americans may …
Paul Craig Roberts, Guest Waking Times The tragedy of September 11, 2001, goes far beyond the deaths of those who died in the towers and the deaths of firefighters and first responders who succumbed to illnesses caused by inhalation of toxic dust.

What if everything you’ve been taught about the origins of civilization is wrong?
Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that can harness the power of prediction and premonition. Premonition rarely arrives on demand. It’s a curious and elusive phenomenon that seems to migrate from out of no-where and into the now-here. Profound and inexplicable, …
Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times The future is often on our minds, whether or not we are thinking about the many global crises and how they will affect our world. Are we creating the future this very second or is the script already written? If it is it written, does it allow for possibilities and …
Soren Dreier, Guest Waking Times I’m continuously confronted with this argument from New Agers or people who are supposedly waking up: ‘My soul contract says…’ or ‘My soul contract forbids me this.’ The innovative quest and persistence for staying in spiritual control systems is amazing. Have we replaced an earthly law firm entity with some heavenly …
Louis R. Valadez, Guest Waking Times There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance. ~Albert Einstein We often hear a lot about the great strength of the human intuition, but rarely …
Luke Nephew, Waging Nonviolence Guest Waking Times Blood is dripping down our faces onto the stainless steel of the armored police van. The hot yellow light flickers against the angry eyes of six young black men. We are trembling in pain and rage. Our chests are heaving. We are still breathing. One man’s eyes stare into mine. “They …
Andrew Martin, WWOOF Waking Times While there may be some dogs on the properties you visit WWOOFING is not the kind that is typically associated with barking dogs or other canine species.

David Gardner, Guest Waking Times Television is a staple of almost every household in the developed world. Many kids spend more time watching TV than going to school, and the average time spent in front of the tube is 4.5 hours a day and rising.

Heather Callaghan, Contributor Waking Times We are rapidly approaching 13 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, where the facts surrounding the deaths of thousands of Americans continue in suppressed fashion, garnering yearly rehashes of the original narrative. As calendar pages turn, so fades public interest and perhaps attempts at outreach and education …
Tracy Kolenchuk, Contributor Waking Times Lots of people who swear by homeopathic medicines, but a small group thinks they should be banned. In the book “Think Like a Freak“, authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner tell us that the three hardest words in the English language are “I don’t know.” These three words are the …
