Could This be the First News Channel Run by Teens?
Heather Callaghan, Contributor / Waking Times Could This be the First News Channel Run by Teens? Heather Callaghan, Contributor Waking Times Politics affects everyone, so everyone deserves a voice; especially the youth… It seems like everywhere I go online, I am met with the diligence of Andrew Demeter. I wrote about his award-winning mini-documentary “We The People, Genetically Modified.” Expertly produced, it encompassed a lot of information for a short video and was the perfect crash course to share the issue with friends. And yes, Andrew Demeter is the one who confronted Nancy Pelosi on the NSA. He talks about it afterward, here. When he is not busy developing independent journalism out of Cleveland, OH, he is running his YouTube channel, TeenTake. Or accepting scholarships for the Mises Institute or reading invitations to give a TED Talk. Now he is asking...

Organic Spirituality
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Organic Spirituality by Paul Kowalewski It is the high point of the hot summer season here in the desert and so our local Farmer’s Market is closed for a few months, but that hasn’t stopped us. Once a week my wife and I drive almost an hour to go to the only Farmer’s Market that continues to remain open in the summertime here in our desert community. We do this because the produce sold at the “Certified Organic Farmer’s Market” is so much better than what you can buy in a supermarket – it makes it worth the trip. I never thought there would be much of a difference between organically grown food and the kind of mass-produced stuff in the produce section of a store, but I have discovered an incredible difference between...

Consciousness Creates Reality: New Thoughts = New Action = New Life
Collective Evolution Consciousness Creates Reality: New Thoughts = New Action = New Life Collective Evolution A lot of us have watched “The Secret” or have heard about the Law of Attraction from a friend or a book. Many of us have even tried to use it by thinking positively or creating “vision boards.” Too often, we don’t see results, quit and log it away somewhere in the subconscious mind. Unfortunately, many of us don’t realize that we’ve left out a key component. Something vital to our success in using the Law of Attraction (LOA). Want to know what it is? Here’s a hint: it’s actually hidden in the word attraction. The three components to using the LOA effectively are aligned thoughts, words and action. What does that mean? It means imagining your desires, talking about them and taking...

Climate Myths Debunked
corbettreport.com Myth #1. The earth is warming! On what time scale? 16 years? 2000 years? 10000 years? 420000 years? 65 million years? (Answer: None of the above) Myth #2. This year was the hottest year ever! Was that before or after NASA and the NOAA altered the temperature record to make recent years warmer? Myth #3. 97% of scientists agree on global warming! You mean 97% of 77 scientists in an unscientific online poll? Myth #4. Sea levels are rising! Yes…at a rate of 7 inches per century. Myth #5. Hurricanes are increasing! US landfalling hurricanes are at their lowest intensity in a century. (Bonus fact: Accumulated Cyclone Energy is at a 30 year low!) Myth #6. But…polar bears! The polar bear population has quintupled in six decades and the USGS admits their numbers are near “historic...

Another Reason Why Wheat and GMOs Can Destroy Your Health
Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo / Waking Times Another Reason Why Wheat and GMOs Can Destroy Your Health Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo Waking Times A new study indicates that wheat contributes to the growth of pathogenic bacteria in our gut, adding to growing concern that GMO foods are doing the same. A new study published in FEMS Microbiology Ecology titled, “Diversity of the cultivable human gut microbiome involved in gluten metabolism: isolation of microorganisms with potential interest for coeliac disease,” has revealed something remarkable about the human gut bacteria (microbiome). Some of the extremely hard to digest proteins in wheat colloquially known as “gluten” (there are actually over 23,000 identified in the wheat proteome) were found metabolizable through a 94 strains of bacterial species isolated from the human gut (via fecal sampling). This discovery is all the more interesting when you consider that, according...

Stanford Scientists Observe Man Travel Out of His Body and Into Space – What He Saw Was Remarkable
Collective Evolution Stanford Scientists Observe Man Travel Out of His Body and Into Space – What He Saw Was Remarkable Collective Evolution NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft was launched into space in 1972. It was the the very first spacecraft to fly directly through the asteroid belt and make observations of the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. It was also able to obtain close up images of the planet, something that scientists had never had access to before. (1) Prior to the flyby of Jupiter by Pioneer 10, the CIA and NSA in conjunction with Stanford University were involved in what was called “Remote Viewing.” Remote viewing can be defined in multiple ways. It’s the ability of individuals to describe a remote geographical location up to several hundred thousand kilometers away (sometimes even more) from their physical...

Elon Musk Reveals Open Source Design for 14,000 Mile-an-Hour Vacuum Tube Railroad
Christina Sarich, Staff Writer / Waking Times Elon Musk Reveals Open Source Design for 14,000 Mile-an-Hour Vacuum Tube Railroad Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times No, you didn’t read that wrong. Paypal co-creator and Tesla Motors Wunderkind thinks that California just wasted $63 billion on a mass transit rail that only goes 164 miles an hour when a 14,000-mile-an-hour pneumatic railroad could be built for 1/10th that amount to take someone from Los Angeles to New York in less than 2 hours. Even better – the plans for such a pneumatic, or vacuum tube train, are all open source. Called ‘hyperloop’ this ultra high-speed public transport could completely change people’s frustrating waits on delayed flights due to inclement weather, reliance on petroleum-fueled transport, and panic attacks over possible crashes, since the hyperloop theoretically cannot crash. It would move faster than...

Belief Systems and the Power Of Authority
Julian Wash, Contributor / Waking Times Photo: Pixabay Belief Systems and the Power Of Authority Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that adheres to the abstract nature of belief. Beliefs come in many shapes and sizes and yet all share something in common— they’re elusive and intangible. Although we cannot “touch” a belief, it certainly has a way of touching us. Our belief modifies the way we think, how we act and feel. I take my tinfoil hat off to those who invented this system of social order so many moons ago. What a concept indeed. Imagine sitting around a stone-age conference table discussing this idea. I surely would have laughed it off. “You mean you can get people to accept something as truth even...

Living Simply
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Living Simply by Paul Kowalewski While browsing through a local bookstore the other day I took note of how many “lifestyle magazines” there were, and most of them featured some sort of story about “living simply.” For the most part, the magazines contained low-fat recipes using organic ingredients, exercise tips and suggestions for home decor in a minimalist fashion – eating well, staying healthy and “Feng Shui” decorating – the pathway to living a “simple life.” As I looked through those magazines it struck me that “living simply” is essentially at the core of every spiritual discipline, but eating a low-carb diet doesn’t necessarily help a person to “live simply.” Furthermore “living simply” doesn’t necessarily mean, “living poorly.” You don’t have to live in a shack or a hut or drive a run-down used...

9 Signs You’re an Old Soul
Aletheia Luna, LonerWolf / Waking Times 9 Signs You’re an Old Soul Aletheia Luna, LonerWolf Waking Times How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? ~ Satchel Paige There is a special kind of person in our world who finds himself alone and isolated, almost since birth. His solitary existence isn’t from a preference or an antisocial temperament – he is simply old. Old in heart, old in mind and old in soul, this person is an old soul who finds his outlook on life vastly different and more matured than those around him. As a result, the old soul lives his life internally, walking his own solitary path while the rest around him flock to follow another. Perhaps you’ve experienced this in your own life, or have witnessed it in another person? If...

Watch As Russell Brand Exposes The Fox News Propaganda Machine Perfectly
Collective Evolution Watch As Russell Brand Exposes The Fox News Propaganda Machine Perfectly Collective Evolution John Mayer once said “If you trust the Television then what you get is what you got, cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want.” This is precisely what is happening in the video below where Russel Brand breaks down how Sean Hannity and FOX news pushes a pro-war stance on what is taking place between Israel and Gaza. We hear it quite often don’t we? When we say we like to stay informed with what is going on with the world so we watch the news and read the newspaper. But are we really staying up to date with what’s happening? Or are we simply hearing planned rhetoric with an agenda making it very difficult to know...

How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One
Katrin Geist, Wakeup-World / Waking Times Photo: Pixabay How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One Katrin Geist, Wakeup-World Waking Times Breaking the habit of being yourself requires – dare I say it? – discipline. Daily discipline. And once you embark on it, it’s the most wonderful process in the making. It is exciting and fun, and it becomes easier and easier with every time you practice, just like training a muscle. You do indeed create your life! You’re in the driver’s seat, entirely. And if that’s not great news, I do not know what is! You absolutely have the power to change your life in any way you desire. You create your life every day, with volition or without, on a nerve cell/brain structure and thought/quantum level. So why not actively create your life, instead of mostly running in automatic-reactive-survival mode? Why wait to change your life...

Separate not Separated
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Separate not Separated by Paul Kowalewski I find that when it comes to talking about the spirituality of “the self” I often get very bogged down in the language. The contemplative, mystical traditions of all the various major world religions pretty much agree that there is a difference between “self” and “ego,” and I often turn to Buddhism to help me distinguish between the two. Buddhists teach that the “idea” of an isolated, separated individual ego is nothing more than an illusion, a human construct – it doesn’t exist. The “true self” is a relationship- a complex web of relationship with everyone and everything that is. This is all well and good, but as a friend of mine recently pointed out, while we may not be separated, we are separate. Human beings aren’t all...

Can Spirituality Survive in a Hyper-Connected Society?
David Gardner, Guest / Waking Times Can Spirituality Survive in a Hyper-Connected Society? David Gardner, Guest Waking Times We live in a fast-paced, hyper-connected society. While modern technology definitely has its benefits, does being constantly plugged in to technology, and relying on it for almost everything, erode the space for spirituality in our lives? How do we keep spirituality alive in our hyper-connected society? When was the last time you went a whole day without technology? No smartphone, iPad, laptop, computer, electronic music device, GPS navigation system etc? Can’t remember? That makes two of us. In recent years, our lives have rapidly become more technologically-oriented and more connected than ever before in known history. This obviously has its benefits: You might be reading this article on your smartphone after a friend shared the link on Facebook; Human rights issues are more...

6 Life Lessons I Discovered While Plucking Weeds In The Garden
Collective Evolution 6 Life Lessons I Discovered While Plucking Weeds In The Garden Collective Evolution 1. You must remove all negative influences from your life Plucking weeds isn’t just an aesthetic practice to keep your garden clean. It’s an essential practice to keep your fruit-producing plants healthy. Weeds are known to feed off the nutrients in the soil, leaving the plants around them starved and depleted. You likely have had or still have people in your inner circle that simply drain you. Being around them, you may find yourself wondering, ‘Why do I continue to surround myself with this person?’ Our friends are supposed to make us feel refreshed, energized, happy, inspired and loved. So here is a rule of thumb: if you continuously feel robbed of your energy after hanging out with one of those “negative” friends,...

Humans of Manufactured Purpose
Raghav Bubna, Fractal Enlightenment / Waking Times Photo: Pixabay Humans of Manufactured Purpose Raghav Bubna, Fractal Enlightenment Waking Times Until we are born we don’t have any perception of existence riddling within us, we are lovingly thrust into birth by the biological frivolity of corporeal matter and witness the first moments in our life of purest expression. As children we interact through experience and expression free of thought and any form of applied psychological conditioning. Our reactions are spontaneous responses to any action in our presence and not plagued with any latent feelings of carving or aversion we deal with, as we journey to what we are led to believe is growth. “A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all...

Mustard Seeds
By Paul Kowalewski Photo: Pixabay Mustard Seeds by Paul Kowalewski Recently I had a conversation with someone who expressed her deep frustration at being unable to “do anything” about all the brokenness going on in the world today. She reads stories about the immigrant crisis in America; she gazes at those images of bodies and debris from a “shot-down” plane scattered across a field in the Ukraine; she hears reports about Israeli teenagers murdered and Palestinian children bombed on a beach; she steps over homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk when she goes to work, and she laments that there is nothing she can do about any of it. In some sense, there is a kernel of truth in my friend’s frustration. After all, no one of us can “fix” the looming immigration or homeless problems, stop the war...

Consume, Consume, Consume With The False Promise Of Happiness!
Collective Evolution Consume, Consume, Consume With The False Promise Of Happiness! Collective Evolution Victor Lebow an economist, retail analyst and author, wrote a very pertinent account of modern consumerism in his 1955 paper, “Price Competition in 1955,” which was published in the Spring issue of the “Journal of Retailing.” “Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfactions, our ego satisfactions, in consumption. The measure of social status, of social acceptance, of prestige, is now to be found in our consumptive patterns. The very meaning and significance of our lives today expressed in consumptive terms. The greater the pressures upon the individual to conform to safe and accepted social standards, the more does he tend to express...
