Michael Forrester, Prevent Disease Waking Times We are in a new world and we’ve made it here together.

Jade Wah’oo Grigori, Guest Waking Times I will begin this article with two fundamental descriptive definitions of Spirit and Soul.

Ervin Laszlo, New Dawn Waking Times The intuitions reported by mystics, poets, artists, ordinary people, even scientists, often go beyond the range of sensory perception.

Christina Sarich, Staff Waking Times Kumare, the documentary, makes fun of our eagerness to give someone else sovereignty over our highest selves. Let’s face it – sometimes spiritual work is hard.

Peter Russell, Spirit of Now Waking Times Science and religion often seem poles apart–and in many ways they are.
