Money and the Myth of Freedom
Gregg Prescott, M.S., In5D Guest / Waking Times Money and the Myth of Freedom Gregg Prescott, M.S., In5D Guest Waking Times What if EVERYONE was wealthy beyond their wildest dreams and how would that affect our perceived “freedom”? I often use an analogy of freedom as a man walking his dog. The man is the government, you are the dog and the leash is your freedom. And this isn’t even “freedom”. These are “civil liberties”. In an ideal world, there would only be two rules or laws: 1. Love everyone. 2. Respect everything. What we are granted are civil liberties and through false flag events such as 911, these have become severely restricted. Please keep in mind that “liberties” are FAR from “freedom”. If there was no such thing as money What many people fail to grasp is that we...

Yes to What? – The Scottish Conundrum
By James Corbett Yes to What? – The Scottish Conundrum corbettreport.com This article originally appeared in The Corbett Report Subscriber newsletter on September 13, 2014. To subscribe to the newsletter and become a member of The Corbett Report website, please sign up for a monthly or annual membership here. This week the Scots will go to the polls to answer a deceptively simple question: “Should Scotland be an independent country?” The question’s simplicity belies the enormity of what is being asked. In centuries past, such a sovereignty proclamation would only have been delivered at the end of a sword after the spilling of much blood. Today the fates of nations are decided by referendum…sort of. You see, the question is extremely simple, and, in the words of at least one Canadian commentator who finds its precision refreshing after...

A Spirituality of Conflict
By Paul Kowalewski A Spirituality of Conflict by Paul Kowalewski Yesterday as I sat in a restaurant having lunch, the couple at the table next to me got into an argument – voices were raised, fingers pointed, when suddenly the woman grabbed her companion’s hand and said, “Honey, you know what happens whenever we argue, let’s just be nice to one another.” They both smiled and from all appearances, all was well again. As I observed that couple who resolved their conflict by being nice to one another, my suspicion was that all was not well with them even though they were being nice. It was obvious that this kind of stuff happened a lot between the two of them and that they had somehow agreed not to talk about problems when they surfaced, just smile and be...

5 Tips for Thriving in ‘The Matrix’
Free Spirit, Guest / Waking Times 5 Tips for Thriving in ‘The Matrix’ Free Spirit, Guest Waking Times You can have an amazing and abundant life free from enslavement to the Matrix once you realize how the Matrix got there in the first place as well as how your thoughts and feelings create your reality in every moment. You are the Master of your own Manifestation and your choices have the power to free or enslave you – as you choose. At first glance – life seems unfair and you may think that you are stuck in a system that is out to consume you. One one level – this is true – but this is not the only reality that you can experience. The world is a maze of lies. Finding the truth is a major work...

This Man Is Trying To Give Away $1 Million To Someone Who Can Change Our Economic Obsession
Collective Evolution This Man Is Trying To Give Away $1 Million To Someone Who Can Change Our Economic Obsession Collective Evolution Dick Smith is an entrepreneur with a difference. He is trying to give away $1,000,000 but is finding it hard to find a young person under 30 that can help raise awareness around the obsession with endless growth in the use of energy and resources. In the 19th Century, empires were built on the labour of slaves, and it was believed economies would collapse if slavery was abolished. But brave people like William Wilberforce fought to end the slave trade –and economies still flourished. We need brave people like Wilberforce today, and I want to encourage a new generation of clear-thinking and inspiring young leaders. That’s why Smith established the Wilberforce Award – $1 million to go to a young...

Creating the Future With the Moment Before Us
Ida Lawrence, Contributor / Waking Times Creating the Future With the Moment Before Us 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 potentialities, or has everything already happened from beginning to end? I’ve heard folks talking about this since I was a little kid, when my dad stated that Methodists don’t believe in predestination and Presbyterians do. At that time I remember thinking… I don’t want to be a Presbyterian. So it is with the young minds. We take everything in and accept the beliefs that feel best, sometimes based upon...

12 Little-Known Ways That Television Stifles Spiritual Awakening
David Gardner, Guest / Waking Times 12 Little-Known Ways That Television Stifles Spiritual Awakening 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. What effect does spending so much time absorbed in watching television have on our spiritual development? You probably already know that watching television is the world’s most popular leisure activity. In the 1970s it was uncommon for kids to watch TV before the age of four, now it’s uncommon for kids not to be watching TV when they’re four months old. In the developed world, 99% of houses have a television and 66% of homes have three or more sets. TV has been proven to increase cravings for junk...

Dying Before Death
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay/organictalks.com Dying Before Death by Paul Kowalewski It’s been pretty quiet at our house – a far cry from the last couple days when the house was filled with family. Our grown sons were here with me and my wife, my brother was here too, and when you throw in a couple of dogs, it was a “beehive” of activity. I’ve been reflecting on those “family” days spent together – cooking meals, a trip to the Farmer’s market, swimming in the pool with the dogs, hours of dinner table conversation going well into the night. It was a time that made me ever more aware of just how much I cherish the people I love in my life. Yesterday I came across an article by Dr. Ira Byock, a nationally renowned “hospice-care” physician. In the...

Making the struggles we have here on Earth seem small.

The Story of Your Enslavement
Video by Stefan Molyneux / Introduction by Alen Mischael Vukelić Photo: Pixabay/organictalks.com The Story of Your Enslavement Freedomain Radio Not many people question the reality they live in. It just is. It was always there – since they exist – so where’s the problem? There is no problem if you don’t see it – or – if someone doesn’t draw your attention to it. To call a video “The Story of Your Enslavement” – is a pretty huge statement, a generalization just on the surface. Stefan Molyneux will show you that you are enslaved – and how you finally break free.

Shaken By Doubt?
Ida Lawrence, Contributor / Waking Times Shaken By Doubt? Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times What do you do when ‘always believe in yourself’ begins to crumble? Ask: What is it that you’re doubting. That seems to me, to be the question. There is a difference between believing in your beliefs, and believing in your Self, so let’s look at it. After six decades, it seems that I still have an evolving belief system. The spiritual ideal holding that changing picture together would be a childhood wish for a clean heart and right spirit. I suspect that’s the case for a lot of us… remembering ourselves as children, we did have a desire to do right and feel clean inside… clean and free. Little did we know what we were going to journey through, and how it would test...

Don’t Fret
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Don’t Fret by Paul Kowalewski The other day I got an email from a friend of mine thanking me for some advice I had given about how silly and useless it is to “fret.” It was a very timely email because I was right in the middle of doing some pretty serious fretting myself, and I thought it might be a good idea to take my own advice. Some might say that fretting is just another word for worrying, but I actually think “fretting” is a more expressive word. The dictionary definition of the verb “to fret” is “to devour, to eat away, to gnaw at.” When I get to worrying, this is exactly what happens to me — my worrying eats away at me, it gnaws at my body as well as my...

This is What Happens When an Artist Suffers Cancer of the Pineal Gland
Buck Rogers, Staff Writer / Waking Times This is What Happens When an Artist Suffers Cancer of the Pineal Gland Buck Rogers, Staff Writer Waking Times The tiny, pea sized pineal gland located in the center of the human brain has for ages been thought to be the seat of the soul, or the third eye, the organ which makes spiritual connection and spiritual experience possible. Prone to calcification from fluoridated water and other toxins in our food supply, many people are actively interested in detoxifying and de-calcifying their pineal gland, because they feel it helps bring them closer to spirit, contributing to an awakening of consciousness. Exercises and meditations aimed at activating the third eye do work, and for people who have experienced the rush of cosmic energy that is available when the mind’s eye is wide open,...

10 Shocking Facts About Society That We Absurdly Accept As Normal
Collective Evolution 10 Shocking Facts About Society That We Absurdly Accept As Normal Collective Evolution When you take a moment and look around at the world, things can appear pretty messed up. Take 5 or 10 minutes and watch the 6 o’clock news. Chances are, the entire time, all you are going to see is war, conflict, death, illness, etc. Sure, this is part of the mainstream medias content strategy to sell drama and keep people focused on it, but besides that it reveals something real about the current state of our world. I believe Michael Ellner said it well in his quote: “Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.” Now...

Good Wine and Cracked Bottles
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Good Wine and Cracked Bottles by Paul Kowalewski Yesterday my wife and I went to the theater to see the newly released and high acclaimed movie, Calvary. We thought we were going to see a film about the Catholic Church in Ireland – as it turned out the movie was far more than that. For hundreds of years, Ireland was virtually “ruled” by an all-powerful established church. The church wielded enormous control over every aspect of daily life-spiritual as well as political. Over the years it had become corrupt, bloated and abusive, culminating in the last decade of the widespread scandals of sexual abuse by its clergy. The people got to the point where they weren’t going to tolerate it any longer and so today the once-powerful church in Ireland has been decimated –...

Hemp-Based Batteries Could Change the Way We Store Energy Forever
Marco Torres, Prevent Disease / Waking Times Hemp-Based Batteries Could Change the Way We Store Energy Forever Marco Torres, Prevent Disease Waking Times As hemp makes a comeback in the U.S. after a decades-long ban on its cultivation, scientists are reporting that fibers from the plant can pack as much energy and power as graphene, long-touted as the model material for supercapacitors. They’re presenting their research, which a Canadian start-up company is working on scaling up, at the 248th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society. Although hemp (cannabis sativa) and marijuana (cannabis sativa var. indica) come from a similar species of plant, they are very different and confusion has been caused by deliberate misinformation with far reaching effects on socioeconomics as well as on environmental matters. Hemp is the most universally...

Time to Flush the Mind
Ida Lawrence, Contributor / Waking Times Time to Flush the Mind Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times The gravity of the situation… we hear a lot about that. In our souls gravity is not a low-vibe thing: it’s a feeling room. Even if I had the opportunity to hang with the high-vibe folks and talk about how simple the profound is and how profound the simple, I wouldn’t make a life out of it. Day-to-day life is friction. It’s where the rubber meets the road. It’s where our growth comes from. There is no escaping our feet on the earth life, with sons and daughters and loved ones and strangers who go through things. And it’s not just them… we go through it with them, with our own stuff mixed in. Human beings go through it. Sometimes it’ll send...

Someone Asked The Dalai Lama What Surprises Him Most, His Response Was Mind Altering
Collective Evolution Someone Asked The Dalai Lama What Surprises Him Most, His Response Was Mind Altering Collective Evolution You could say that the Dalai Lama is a pretty interesting guy, after all his stance on extra terrestrial life is quite interesting. During an interview the Dalai Lama was asked what surprises him the most, his response was quite mind altering. “Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” Pretty striking and powerful stuff if you...
