Belsebuub, Guest Writer Waking Times Go far enough back in time and you’ll reach to a point where entire societies were based around the universal knowledge of the journey of consciousness in its awakening – in Central and South America, Easter Island, Egypt, Cambodia, India and in many other places now submerged under the ocean. The …
Christina Sarich, Contributor Waking Times There are numerous puja sites throughout India where the spiritually minded can travel to gather prana and take in the sites along the way. From over a thousand Shiva temples, the remnants of numerous Buddha Temples, Jain Temples and geographic locations, including lakes, rivers, and tributaries of the Ganges, mountain peaks …
Frank Joseph, New Dawn Waking Times Synchronicity is the most mysterious thing in the world. Synchronicity is the term parapsychologists use for “meaningful coincidence.” It happens to everyone, more often than we realise. But synchronicities are not “mere” coincidences, random accidents without significance. Going through a half-forgotten collection of old photographs, you’re surprised to find …
Matthew Pike, Positive News Waking Times Despite being the figurehead of a country on the up, Uruguay president José Mujica donates his earnings to charity and lives on a small modest farm. Matthew Pike considers how his grounded principles are changing the political landscape. When José Mujica became Uruguay’s 40th president in 2009, he chose not to …
Stuart Wilde, Guest Waking Times Most people don’t believe in nature spirits and to talk about them often invites ridicule. What image we have of them has usually been corrupted by misinformation. For example, we often think of fairies as small, diaphanous, human-like beings, that flit from flower-to-flower on gossamer wings. That came to us …
Julian Rose, Contributing Writer Waking Times Once one has got a reasonable handle on ‘what’s wrong’ the next step involves putting into place something ‘that feels right’. Not so easy. But essential of course – and in many respects a natural process of follow-through, without which, knowing ‘what’s wrong’ gradually fades away. Until there are …
Franco Santoro, Guest Writer Waking Times The term trance comes from the Latin transire, which means “to go over” or to move from one state to another. Although this word is often popularly associated with unusual states of mind or altered states of consciousness, its implied conditions play a vital role for all human beings …
Daikan Basho, Contributing Writer Waking Times Human beings are curious creatures in that they have a most unusual capacity for free will, yet, are so easily manipulated, controlled, and subjugated by other people. Quite a paradox. The deciding factor between which of these two inherent states one occupies, mental freedom or mental slavery, often has to …
Trevor Smith, Guest Writer Waking Times There are many mysterious anomalies about human evolution yet to be adequately explained. These include the human brains rapid expansion in size and complexity, why this accelerating expansion suddenly stalled roughly 200,000 years ago and our brains have been shrinking ever since, and why our rare glimpses of genius goes …
Chris Bourne, Contributor Waking Times It’s so easy to create illusionary realities on the path. Subtle essences of ego know how the soul is likely to act in particular circumstances. We’ve ‘seen’ what ‘Enlightenment’ looks like and a part of the soul might want to copy that. It’s kind of like an echo of the …
Marco Torres, Prevent Disease Waking Times The Corporation, a 2003 Canadian documentary film examined the behaviour of big business towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. The power structure in government is equally susceptible to this behavior, mostly as a result of how specific public functions are …
Christina Sarich, Contributor Waking Times “What is my life if I am no longer useful to others?” ~ Goethe The reason technological advances should matter to us is because they can help to unleash a soul that has been caged in the modern matrix for millennia. This isn’t hocus pocus, or new age jargon. It’s …
Linda George, Contributor Waking Times “Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?” – Marcus Aurelius If you look back on the life you have lived until now, you will see that everything you have experienced, every choice, every turn, every chance encounter and …
Sigmund Fraud Waking Times Americans love to be entertained, and we love watch other people’s lives unfold in chaos, scandal and violence. We love narratives about conquering evil with overwhelming firepower. We love scripts and adventures, and swashbuckling gun battles, underdogs, dead bad guys and heroic gunfighters. We love to suspend disbelief and open ourselves …
Ida Lawrence, Contributing Writer Waking Times We all know the past has everything to do with today. Right now I’m wondering if ‘being there’ in the sixties and seventies made some of our generation permanent rebels. We do all we can to resonate with the positive vibe no matter what’s happening – there’s a good …
Paul Fassa, Natural Society Waking Times In a world where creativity is deemed a “mental illness” by scientists, is it any wonder that a large portion of the population is on medications for some type of ‘mental illness’? The old fashioned psychiatrist’s writing pad for taking notes during talk therapy has been replaced by the prescription pad, …
Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times Dr. Paul Brunton, in “The Spiritual Crisis of Man” – (published in 1952), wrote these words: “A million people will eagerly follow a glib leader who raises contentious clamour and leads them to ultimate destruction, when only a few people will follow an inspired spiritual leader who leads them …
J.S. Gordon, New Dawn Waking Times Mainstream orthodox (or ‘physical’) science contains as many paradigms as it does supposed facts, if not more; but it still tends to treat the former as largely substantiated facts. However, a paradigm – as the dictionary confirms – is merely a model, involving one or more assumptions. In fact, …
Randall Carlson, Guest Writer Waking Times Most of us tend to think of geometry as a relatively dry, if not altogether boring, subject remembered from our Middle school years, consisting of endless axioms, definitions, postulates and proofs, hearkening back, in fact, to the methodology of Euclids Elements, in form and structure a masterly exposition of logical …
Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times Take ownership of who you are. What does that mean? Well, we’re here at the greatest time of change imaginable. We’re trying to not freak out about it… and that’s not easy for those of us who have our eyes open. We’re looking outside of ourselves for someone who has …
