Lakota Women Lead Victory Over Keystone Pipeline Trespassers (Video)

March 13, 2012

Lakota families refuse to allow passage of a convoy of trucks and equipment servicing the Keystone XL Pipeline. Blocking the highway with non-violent resistance, the determination of the Lakota in rejecting the convoy can be viewed as inspiration to all who oppose the destruction of our environment to temporarily meet energy demands. A temporary victory for sure, but an opportunity to revisit the idea of non-violent resistance and an opportunity to celebrate.

Has Nikola Tesla Been Reincarnated?

March 11, 2012

We are automata entirely controlled by the forces of the medium being tossed about like corks on the 
surface of the water, but mistaking the resultant of the impulses from the outside for free will…
A very sensitive and observant being, with his highly developed mechanism all intact, and acting with precision in
obedience to the changing conditions of the environment, is endowed with a transcending mechanical
sense, enabling him to evade perils too subtle to be directly perceived. – Tesla, 1919

The Online Seed Saving Handbook

March 10, 2012

Here is a great resource for learning to save seeds and maintaining your collection. Seeds are life, and with the assault on our food system growing stronger day by day, it is more important than ever that individuals take on the responsibility of preserving nature’s most critical information. Perhaps use this information to keep a personal garden, or how about starting a neighborhood or community seed bank in your town by visiting neighbors who grow, and showing those that don’t don’t how to?

Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day.

Ayahuasca: What the Spirits Want

March 9, 2012

We cannot just go to the spirits and expect them to give us what we want. They may well have other plans for us. In fact, rather than asking — or, as some people do, demanding — that they heal us, or transform us, or make us into someone else, we should just pour out our hearts to them in prayer. We should not go to them with requests or demands or even expectations.

The Only Direct (True) Democracy in the World

March 7, 2012

Even if you live in a non-direct democracy or even in a dictatorship, you can start taking pride in your own country by doing your part. Start with recycling, preserving water, buy organic and support your local farmer, read the ingredients on the food you buy; only buy products that are made in the country where you live, support your local economy, support your local mom and pops shops instead of the big chains, whenever you can – do whatever it takes to take pride in where you live.

Organic Farmers vs. Monsanto: Update, Petition Comments & What’s Next

March 7, 2012

Last week we posted an open (hearted) letter to the farmers and seed growers who were part of the group (OSGTA) that sued Monsanto. As many of you know, Monsanto has garnered quite the reputation for bullying small organic farmers, filing suit against them, litigating them to no end, and bankrupting them. Witnessing this for years, the organic and commercial seed farms, co-ops and farming groups did not want to be next.

Ayahuasca – The Vine of the Soul

March 6, 2012

Most people who experience Ayahuasca report some sort of spiritual experience. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to describe the spiritual effects due to the lack of spirit in our language. Western culture is simply ignorant of the science of spirit that is still practiced today in the Amazon Rainforest.

Hearts Have Their Own Brain and Consciousness

March 6, 2012

Research in the new discipline of neurocardiology shows that the heart is a sensory organ and a sophisticated center for receiving and processing information. The nervous system within the heart (or “heart brain”) enables it to learn, remember, and make functional decisions independent of the brain’s cerebral cortex. Moreover, numerous experiments have demonstrated that the signals the heart continuously sends to the brain influence the function of higher brain centers involved in perception, cognition, and emotional processing.

From The Battlefield to Basil: Organic Farm A Haven for Vets

March 6, 2012

For this level of sacrifice and service, we claim to honor our veterans with a national holiday each November, but the reality is homelessness, unemployment, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), drug addiction and depression plague our nation’s defenders and truest patriots far more frequently than we acknowledge. Ex-Marine Sergeant Colin Archipley and his wife hope to change that… with organic farming.

Fighting For Our Lives: Why We Need A Revolution

March 5, 2012

Is Brazil Destroying The Amazon For Energy?

March 5, 2012

“The (Brazilian) President is backtracking on Brazil’s environmental commitments, and will use any means necessary to push through an agenda of expensive mega-infrastructure projects in the Amazon, reminiscent of the military dictatorship in the 1970s,” Millikan says. “It begs the question, who will protect the Amazon…if not the government?”
