September 22nd, 2012. My son's mother recently told me that I should start contributing to my blog again. The comment, seemingly from out of nowhere, actually sparked an interest in me when she suggested it. It made me think, why I haven't posted to this blog in a long time, and the answer was very simple. I didn't feel like doing it! Of course, like anything else, there is also a more complex answer, the simple truth of it is, well, the simple truth! Part of it could be the fact that I've been in somewhat of a rut, another part that I didn't have the clarity of mind to contribute to this blog, which is mainly about embracing and promoting consciousness. Anyway, I wanted to do something fun, so here it is :) Ive always been one to analyze things, philosophize, and try to get to a core understanding about things. I believe the closer we are to the core of an understanding of a concept, or a situation, or any 'thing', the better we can relate any two 'things' together, and form more authentic concepts. I hope this makes sense, lol. Either way, here are a few. Dharma. Dharma, as I have come to understand it, is "A Way". You can say it is an approach. As conscious beings, we interact with various worlds in which we co-exist. Some channels of interaction are via Words, Actions, and Thoughts. Dharma is when our interactions with this world are in alignment with the natural order of things. In other words, when we are following a dharmic path, we are in alignment with a natural order, flow of a greater picture, which lies both within, and outside of ourselves. Wisdom The depth of wisdom a being possess, is determined by the beings ability to perceive both objects, and the relationship between objects to an accurate degree. I believe the more 'wise' a being is, the more a being is capable of experiencing the 'Truth" or "reality' of situations, objects, etc. Intellect Whereas, wisdom could be said to be the more intuitive side of Understanding, I believe Intellect is more the rational side of understanding. Intellect isn't about seeing the bigger picture, or the "truth" or situations, or reality itself....Intellect is more so how accurately and efficient our thought process is. The higher intellect an individual has, the more capable he is of applying his Mind to apple itself. Power Power , to me, is the ability to do. How much power an individual has, is determined by what he can Do. Think of it like this. In this human, physical world we live in.....a person who has a drivers license, and has learned how to drive a car, has more 'power' than an individual who hasn't. Why? Because he can literally 'do' more, than the individual without. Although I believe many people think of power in terms of a persons STATUS, or the influence he holds over others....that is in fact just a very , VERY small aspect of power. Power itself is the ability to do. To use your will, your intellect, and your energy to Do. Compassion I think compassion is based on an understanding. The understanding is that "I wouldn't want to do this....because this would hurt this person. If this happened to me, I wouldnt be happy. How then shall I apply this situation to another, and interfere with their happiness?" Compassion is an internal understanding that deep down, we want to be loved, and we want to happy......and deep, deep down, it would rob US of our OWN happiness and self-love, if we were to interfere with another individuals love and happiness" Compassion is when you are actually open to life around you, instead of closed off. Since you are open to life around you, and you know deep down you want Love and Joy, then your Love and Joy is connected to the Love and Joy of others beings. Therefore, in order for you to truly experience Love and Joy, you desire inside to be in alignment, and to promote the love and joy of other living beings. Anyway, these are just a few thoughts I decided to put on here. Not exactly sure why, something just moved me to come on here, and write this, just now. I often do reflect on 'things', and I enjoy writing about 'things. Getting to the heart of 'things' , sitting with them, not just analyzing 'things', such as the concepts of Dharma, or Power, but to truly sit with these concepts, and experience them. I urge others to try and do the same!

Several interesting realizations about humanity and the approaching of 2012
With the advent of the internet, literally almost every aspect of humanity is changing. Considering mankind is dictated by his five senses, and the media has been widely dominated by elitism to control the opinions of the masses via sensationalism and propaganda, the internet created an open source of information available to the public. The most recent and obvious display of this is the wiki leaks. What is so great about the wiki leaks is not just the information that is being made available to the public - but WikiLeaks itself is showing the collective consciousness 1) the power of the internet, 2) the reluctance of the global elite and powerful to release or have ‘sensitive’ intelligence or data released, 3) the fact that information is actually privatized, and lastly, 4) the possibility of truly having freedom of information around the globe, via the internet
As we are approaching 2012, it seems like now that we have the internet and you tube, google, and online news sites such as yahoo.com - certain global events that have been playing out have actually been teaching humanity , on a global scale, things which as a collective we never realized.
For instance, you had 9/11, which years later shed light on the fact that a vast portion of Americans and non-Americans think 9-11 was an inside job. This showed that as a collective, mankind doesn’t really trust its political or governing bodies.
Then you had the War on Terror, and the War in Iraq. These two wars shed consciousness on the Bush administration, global elitism, and the role of Oil in global elitism. It helped to lead to the investigation which shed light on the elite powers that be, their quest for oil, and it also stirred up consciousness about the conflict in the middle east. This is turn will probably lead to the shedding of more light on the Israeli-Palestine conflict, which plays a huge role in global terrorism in the West by Arabic extremists.
Then, you have the global financial crisis of 2008. This shed light on how the global elite manipulate the money markets. It showed just how true films like Zeitgeist are. It brought to the collective consciousness the realization that the global elite have been creating and manipulating money out of thin air.
Now in the news, we are seeing in Egypt, Central America, Africa, and even in European countries, people are protesting and rioting - and overthrowing their leaders - demanding democracy. People are finally standing up because the collective consciousness is becoming more aware of elitism, and how the power of the masses are being striped away by the tiny elite ruling body which governs us.
I almost forgot, the Gulf Oil Spill! This lead the collective consciousness to realize the importance of environmental awareness and health - and the relationship between corporations and environmental health. After this was brought to the awareness of the collective consciousness, you can only hope that corporations will be more conscious about the decisions they make, and much more afraid to let something like this happen again, lest the people get fed up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I can only think what this year, 2011, will bring, and the following years after 2012. It truly does seem that things are changing exponentially, and I find it hard that anyone could deny that the time-line of modern history is accelerating at a exponential speed.

Can anyone deny that in the past decade we have seen an increase in spiritual movements, environmental awareness, natural disasters, increased awareness of global elitism, protests and movements demanding democracy, and in general - AN INCREASE IN COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS……

It is coming. Call it 2012. Call it a New Age. Call it whatever you want - the times ARE changing, something NEW is coming, and it is our responsibility to prepare ourselves.

I thought this was interesting, and comical at the same time! I found this site a few years ago, and just recently remembered it. If you get a chance, check out the flash videos!

Former President John F. Kennedy....

once warned us about secret societies, and those who use their influence to privately dictate the affairs of the American people. He said that as a president, he would not stand for it. Well, as citizens, we should not either.

A copy of the transcript can be found here: http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com/transcripts/JFK_Video_Speech.html

The actual audio found here, on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBF5DbPbg_A


Excerpts:

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it’s in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."

It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations."

" And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news--that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent."

Stand up for America. Stand up for the World. Stand up for humanity. Educate yourself, Examine yourself, and be an example among those around you.

Here is my prayer:

Lord, Help those who are blind to see.
Lord, Help me gain the strength to raise my vibrations.
Lord, Let me be an example , a beacon, for my lost brethren.
Lord, We are ready, we are wanting, our souls are aching for your return

Mayan 6th day we have entered!

THE MAYAN SIXTH DAY Begins on
November 13, 2008

Tzolkin Date: 13 IMIX

11^th of 13 Heavens (7 Days and 6 Nights of Creation) of the Galactic Cycle

The Sixth Day heralds a time of flowering for the plant - awakening, unfolding, opening up to new possibilities. Most scholars use the words “enlightenment” and “renaissance” to define this creative period. Historically, the Sixth Day on other levels or cycles corresponded to the invention of tools, first attempts at agriculture and building shelter; the European Renaissance itself; and the flower children movement of the 1960's.

This Heaven of Light, the Sixth Day, begins with 13 Imix on the Sacred Calendar, the Tzolkin. The number 13 represents co-creation, unconditional love and culmination of spiritual enlightenment. The number 13 is the final number in the sequence of 13 numbers of the Tzolkin. Imix is the first of the 20 day signs comprising the Tzolkin. Imix is symbolized by the Crocodile and the Waterlily – beginning, receptivity, trust, Earth Mother, nourishment, protection, primordial ocean of possibilities.

The intention of the enlightenment or ascension energy combined with the primal energy of Imix gives us the ability to feel a new era unfolding.

INTO THE SIXTH DAY

As we transit from the twilight of the Fifth Night into the twilight of the Sixth Day, our burdens become lighter as we discard what no longer serves us in order to evolve to the next stage of growth in this new reality. Just as a plant follows the Fibonacci Sequence by looking back in order to evolve, humanity has a unique opportunity to look back to our ancestors and incorporate ancestral knowledge in order to evolve into our true destiny of being co-creators and caretakers of this beautiful planet we call Earth or Gaia.

With time acceleration and the concrescence of novelty becoming more apparent to individuals, and as more individuals begin to open to awareness and the increased photon field that we seem to be moving through, we realize that our minds alone cannot keep up with the evolutionary changes. It has become necessary to rely upon our instincts and feelings to navigate through this new vibrational field.

In order to continue to the next growth stage in this fantastic journey, we must not only incorporate ancient wisdom by performing sacred ceremonies and rituals, but also tune into our instinctual knowledge. As the number of choices we are called upon to make increase, let our intuition guide us along the ascending path. Consciously choose to take the high road – be positive, loving and compassionate – choose love over fear or anger.

The Fifth Night saw the beginning of the end of dominance. Dominance on every level is beginning to fall away: dominance of governments, religions, corporations, individuals, ego. Each individual will begin to realize their own worth as dominance falls away. Each will feel their own purpose, their own responsibility, and begin to realize their full potential as loving human beings.

To maximize the incoming influx of light energies and to better handle the rapid changes, it is very important to stay grounded. Incorporate a daily movement practice such as qigong, tai chi, yoga; meditation; perform ceremonies and rituals, even just lighting a candle and offering a prayer; practice kindness and compassion; maintain a good diet and a positive attitude; and follow the Mayan Sacred Calendar – the Tzolkin. As we go into the Sixth Day, let us each be like the bud of a flower, ready to open to our full beauty. Let us embrace the ascending spiral of light with a flame of hope and gratitude in our hearts.

In Lak’ech,

Endorphins - Internal Morphine

What are Endorphins?

The word "Endorphin" comes from the two words, "endogenous + morphine." Endorphins are small, protein molecules that are produced by cells in your nervous system and other parts of your body. An important role of endorphins is to work with sedative receptors that are known to relieve common pain. These analgesia-producing receptors are located in your brain, spinal cord, and other nerve endings. Endorphins are not a single molecule, but actually come in several forms, and can be anywhere from eighteen to five hundred times as powerful as any man-made analgesic. And, they are non-addictive.

Endorphins have been shown to . . .

• Control persistent pain
• Control the craving for chocolate and potentially addictive substances
• Control feelings of stress and frustration
• Regulate the production of growth and sex hormones
• Reduce symptoms associated with eating disorders

More About Endorphins:

Because they are naturally produced by the body, endorphins are possibly the best (and most legal way) to achieve a natural high. Chemically speaking, endorphins are polypeptides, which are able to bind to the neuro-receptors in the brain to give relief from pain. They are one reason why soldiers wounded in battle can continue to fight or have the strength to save someone else; it also accounts for the so called runner's high, or why some people are drawn to dangerous activities like car racing, sky diving and bungee jumping.

Endorphins are polypeptides containing 30 amino acid units. Opioids are considered stress hormones like corticotrophin, cortisol, and catecholamines (adrenaline, noradrenaline), and are manufactured by the body to reduce stress and relieve pain. Usually produced during periods of extreme stress, endorphins naturally block pain signals produced by the nervous system.

The human body produces at least 20 different endorphins with possible benefits and uses that researchers are investigating. Beta-endorphin appears to be the endorphin that seems to have the strongest affect on the brain and body during exercise; it is one kind of peptide hormone that is formed mainly by Tyrosine, an amino acid. The molecular structure is very similar to morphine but with different chemical properties.

While many people are vaguely aware that the blissful feelings one experiences after sex may be endorphin related, few are aware that endorphins are naturally produced by a wide range of activities like meditation, deep breathing, ribald laughter, eating spicy food, or receiving acupuncture treatments or chiropractic adjustments. Fewer still know that endorphins are actually good for health, and can play a role in helping drug and alcohol abusers overcome their addiction. Let's explore some of the dynamics of endorphins and how they affect our daily lives.

Although more research needs to be done, endorphins are believed to produce four key effects on the bodymind: they enhance the immune system, they relieve pain, they reduce stress, and postpone the aging process. Scientists also have found that beta-endorphins can activate human NK (Natural Killer) cells and boost the immune system against diseases and kill cancer cells. In contrast to short-intensity workouts like sprinting or weightlifting, prolonged, continuous exercise like running, long-distance swimming, aerobics, cycling or cross-country skiing appears to contribute to an increased production and release of endorphins. This results in a sense of euphoria that has been popularly labeled the "runner's high."

Endorphins may also contribute to what some athletes call a "second wind." Rather than feeling pain and exhaustion while running, endorphins may help us actually feel limber and energized towards the end of a race. According to William Straw, M.D., a team physician for the San Jose Sharks, "at some point you may feel a little more energetic and you can kick-in when you did not feel like you could kick-in before."

Endorphins release varies according to the individual: one runner may have an endorphin rush (experienced as a second wind) after running for ten minutes, while another may need to run for thirty minutes before feeling a second wind.

The blissful feeling one often experiences after making love is due to the body's production of endorphins: in fact, endorphin production can increase 200% from the beginning to the end of sexual activity. Recent studies, beginning with those of Candace Pert, Ph.D. of Johns Hopkins University, have documented the connection between orgasm and endorphins, although ongoing physical contact, and not just sex alone, also helps produce endorphins, along with the hormone oxytocin. Together, they are like natural opiates and help stabilize a relationship between a loving couple by inducing what famed obstetrician Michel Odent, of London's Primal Health Research Center (whose book, The Scientification of Love, was published in England in 1999 and available through www.amazon.co.uk), calls "a drug like dependency." Although there are many reasons why two people choose to maintain a close and loving relationship, endorphins may be a factor.

A connection between good sex, endorphins and staying young may exist. In a 10-year study involving 3500 people, Dr. David Weeks, a neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and author of Secrets of the Super Young (Berkley, 1999) found that men and women who have sex four to five times a week look more than 10 years younger than the average person, who has sex twice a week. Dr. Weeks believes that the pleasure derived from sex was a crucial factor in preserving youth. "It makes us happy and produces chemicals [endorphins and oxytocin] telling us so." However, he found that indulging in promiscuous sex did not have the same benefits of enjoying loving sex in a long-term relationship, and it was more likely to promote the aging process rather than reduce it.

Many mothers can testify that labor can be excruciatingly painful; however at the same time, the body offers a reward for this exertion in the form of powerful painkilling endorphins and other chemicals that give the mother a genuine "high" during the birthing experience. By contrast, epidurals and other painkilling procedures prevent the production of endorphins for both mother and baby. Some researchers believe that this can actually cause harm to both mother and child, especially regarding mother-child bonding and the ability of the baby to adapt to a new life outside the womb. Adjuncts to natural birthing techniques (including exercise, massage, water, movement in labor, hypnosis, breathing and visualization) can increase the production of pain-killing endorphins for both the mother and her baby.

It has become well established that certain foods increase the body's natural production of endorphins. Although my 90-year-old great aunt was not aware of the scientific research showing that chocolate causes an endorphin rush, she frequently remarked that eating several ounces of chocolate every day made her life a lot more enjoyable. Chocolate is by far the most popular endorphin-producing food on earth. Known by the Greeks as the "food of the Gods," chocolate is derived from cacao beans that were revered by the Aztecs, who believed that eating chocolate would confer wisdom and vitality. In addition to sugar, caffeine and fat, chocolate contains more than 300 different constituent compounds, including anandamide, a chemical that mimics marijuana's soothing effects on the brain. It also contains chemical compounds such as flavonoids (which are also found in wine) that have antioxident properties and reduce serum cholesterol. Although the combined psychochemical effects of these compounds on the central nervous system are poorly understood, the production of endorphins are believed to contribute to the renowned "inner glow" experienced by dedicated chocolate lovers.

In contrast to chocolate, which is smooth and luscious, chili peppers provide a stimulating heat and "bite" that increases the body's production of endorphins. Many popular ethnic foods, including Tex-Mex, Mexican, Cajun, Indian, Chinese (especially Szechuan) and Thai, are renowned for their spiciness, and the resulting endorphin rush keeps diners coming back for more.

Chili peppers are not all created equal: red peppers are generally more pungent than green ones, and hotter chilies grow at higher altitudes and warmer temperatures. Chilies also release their heat differently; some are experienced as "hot" immediately, or their pungency is released over time; some chilies cause a burning sensation in the back of the throat, while others affect the tongue or the lips. And while chili peppers vary as to flavor, texture and color, they all provide important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, calcium and vitamin C.

Although all hot chilies produce endorphins, they vary in pungency: the hotter the pepper, the greater the ability to stimulate endorphin production, When measured in Scoville heat units or Shu (a standard measurement of pungency in chilies) ancho chilies contain 900-1500 Shu, jalapeno peppers have 2500-6500, cayenne peppers can contain between 30,000 and 50,000 units, while the hottest of all - the habanero - pack between 200,000 and 300,000 Shu.

Several popular healing modalities have been found to stimulate the body's production of pain-killing endorphins. They include acupuncture, massage (including shiatsu), local electrical stimulation (electrotherapy), chiropractic and hydrotherapy, which can involve underwater massage with jets of water (hydromassage), alternating hot and cold showers or baths, hot and/or cold compresses, steam baths, far infrared saunas, colonic irrigations, or applying jets of water under pressure to various parts of the body.

One of the first to document the healing power of laughter was Norman Cousins in his book Anatomy of an Illness. Later research found that powerful, ribald laughter triggered the release of endorphins which not only relieve the pain of accident or illness, but can actually enhance the healing process by helping us develop greater optimism and joy. The manifold implications of this research highlights the body's psychosomatic network and its potential for healing. Pain clinics use creative visualization and deep breathing to increase the body's endorphin production for pain-relief, as well as the creative use of placebos, which are also related to endorphin production.

Music has always exerted powerful physical and psychological effects on humans, but scientists have only recently made the connection of different types of music with the production of endorphins. Although music affects each individual differently, research has shown that classical, rock, heavy metal, and even the music in elevators produces specific physical and psychological effects. By judiciously choosing the types (and pieces) of music we most enjoy, we can enhance endorphin production in our everyday lives.

Scientists have recently found that in addition to calming the nerves and reducing blood pressure, the regular practice of meditation (as well as the ancient Chinese practice of Qigong and yogic breathing) help the body produce endorphins for a feeling of well being.
Recent studies have shown that chronic stress, anger and depression cause the body to manufacture chemicals that can inhibit the healing process and shorten life expectancy, while euphoria protects us from stress, illness and premature death. While apparently unscientific, these findings are promoted by Candace Pert and other neuroscientists. Some of the major ways that we can experience a greater sense of joy and well being in our lives: becoming conscious, daily relaxation, enjoyable exercise, "pointless" recreational activities, tapping into our dreams, guiltless goofing off, experiencing pleasure in little things, public and private displays of affection, sex without guilt, greater laughter and additional sources of merriment.

Recent studies have found that nutritional and biochemical imbalances, rather than lack of will power or character, may increase the potential for substance abuse. Specifically, alcohol and drugs give temporary relief for a depleted endorphin level, which is one reason why they produce addiction. Although more research needs to be done, scientists believe that certain individuals may be genetically predisposed to alcohol abuse because they lack the ability to produce their own endorphins. In addition to counseling, support and 12-Step programs, people who are alcohol-dependent need to address problems linked to nutritional imbalances, like candida, food intolerance, hypoglycemia, stress and thyroid dysfunction in the treatment of addiction. The use of vitamin and mineral supplements, especially vitamin C, E, selenium and amino acids like glutamine, taurine and tyrosene may be helpful as well.

A Prayer

Lately I've become aware that I have "settled for less" in life. From the time I can remember, my life has always been about soul searching, truth seeker, and figuring out what is really going on here. One of my earliest memories is being a young child, and looking up to the sky, asking this mysterious creation in its entirety "Who Am I?" I recognized, even as a young child, that this body was only an extension of my true self, and that there was much more of me, I just realize it at that time. I knew the truth was out there, but didnt know the means to pursuing the truth.

As I got older, my life had been about finding the means of pursuing the truth, and actively doing so. I remember being 12, 13, 14 years of age, studying yoga and meditation, taking psychedelic drugs in order to investigate the mysteries of consciousness. By the time I was 18, I had read atleast 100 books dealing on the subjects of mysticism, meditation, yoga, buddhism, hinduism, christianity, occultism, and paranormal. I had an unquenchable thirst for truth, and it was around that time that I met my first teacher. For years she caused me to grow, challenge myself, and question who I was. She contradicted me, despite my wishes, and forced me to face my fears and to be more honest with myself.

During the past few months, maybe 6 or so, I've pretty much settled for a lot less than who I really am inside, something I fear too many people on this planet do. I stopped investigating the mysteries of this universe and my soul, and started indulging in more material pursuits. Spirituality slowly made its way to the background of my existance.
However, during this time, my heart had never given up. It was always there, sometimes irritatingly so, to remind me that the reason I came to this Earth in the first place was to discover the mysteries of my Soul, thus unlocking the mysteries of the Universe. No one in the world could convince me otherwise.
Despite me trying to run from myself and this world, and the burdens that come with material existance and having a physical body, my heart would always remind me, in every second that it could, that there is a much deeper purpose for me being here. Despite my constant numbing and running, my heart was there to whisper in my ear " You are a warrior. You are a truth seeker. You are a believer. You have a greater purpose than what you are living up to. You can't hide from this forever."

And, I can't. Last night I said the first real prayer I've said in a while. It lasted over an hour, and had only a few words - but my heart was speaking directly to God. I actually listened to my heart for once, and it was rejoicing. It was so excited that I decided to listen. I had finally had enough of numbing myself, enough of fooling myself....enough of seeking the company of others just so I didn't have to be in the company of myself.
And my prayer was answered. Today my sister asked me to go to church with here, a christian metaphysical church located in Roswell. I had been to this church before, and was actually the one who introduced my sister to this church years before. It had been the first time in about two years that I've been here, and suprisingly , the two founders, who are husband and wife, remembered me!
I received a 10 to 15 minute session of healing, in which several people in dressed in all white layed their hands on me, and did reiki, or energy healing. I could feel tensions rising and dissipating, and I was able to relax to a depth I had not been able to for an extremely long time.

Eternally grateful that I got to enjoy this with my sister and mother - and spend some quality time with my family, I suddenly realized on the ride back home that my prayer from last night had been answered. God listened, and became active in my life.

I have faith that God is real. I have faith that life is good, and most importantly, I have faith that I have a purpose.

For the rest of this summer, I'm going to take it day by day, and slowly but surely regain myself, and emerge myself in a Quest that was once the most important thing in every second and breath of my life. I know this is my purpose. I know this is why I'm here. It's time to reclaim my true sprituality, and once again live in my heart.

God, I love you. Please forgive me for being fake, with myself and others, and closing my eyes and hears. You have always loved me, and throughout this life I have turned my eyes and ears away from You, out of fear. No longer. Thats not the warrior who you Created. Thank you for helping to remind me of my divine purpose in life, and thank you for always being there for me, from before Atlantis and far after this incarnation. I Love YOU.

The Light Warrior Prophecy

taken from Code of the Third Millennium Warrior by Michael Colley


The Light Warrior Prophecy
(A Battle of Light and Dark)

"The Lion will be called upon to awaken from its internal sleep, rise to face and meet the Dragons of Darkness on a battlefield. The battlefield is the soul and the field must be won for the lion to see its destiny. The lion's heart will evolve by the power of virtue and Light. The heart of the warrior will shape-shift and become a Warrior of the Heart. This will neutralize the Dragons and move beyond the internal battle to set an intention to balance the Darkness that has fallen upon the planet. The lion will gather other lions together as an army of Light Warriors to do battle with an Ocean of Evil. These lions, all equal and unified by a circle of Light will unite other circles until a great circle of Light covers the planet. The soul of the human body and the soul of the earth body will merge to become one and the same. The light will shine from the heart unto the great planetary shadow as if a great sword of truth emerged from the hearts of all Light Warriors. The Light Warriors will be called upon in a time of Darkness to step forward and represent what is best in humanity. The shadow once exposed will subside into the void from which it came. Here within lies the beginning of what has always been."

Another Day

I sit, waiting--
for what, I'm never quite sure,
life seems to pass me by,
but I'm oblivious;
Always trying harder,
to be perfect --
Eat better, be healthier, read more, sleep less;
for what?--
Life is quite cruel,
or am I cruel to myself?
In all honesty, the latter seems more realistic.
I want my life to be a perfect mandala.
what if I stopped trying so hard--
perhaps then I would
see the underlying perfections,
perfectly present in all things.
Yes! Thats it! Just stop trying,
and let everything flow, as it is.
If only I knew how to stop trying.
then I could just Be.
Maybe tomorrow;
Yes! Tomorrow I will be perfect!

What's Really Going On?

What's going on in the world right now? Does anyone else have a really weird feeling about what's happening in the world right now?

I just turned on my television today, and the Ambassador of China was on PBS, being interviewed by some women, talking about the state of affairs regarding the Olympics in China and the Tibetan Protests.

This is a really important issue right now, and Tibet is a nation that has preserved one of the oldest religions of the world, Vajrayana, Tibetan Buddhism. Much valuable information about the wonderful religion is being destroyed, along with the culture of an entire people.


The next thing that came on was a world renowned investor and financial analyst, I forget his name. He was talking about the coming economic collapse - but something was different about him from the rest of the people I've heard speak of this throughout the years-- he didnt seem fanatic at all, and what he was saying made perfect sense.


Gas prices are rising, NOT spiking, but steadily rising with no plans to stop in the next few years.


Two major disasters have recently happened. Not to mention the crazy disasters that have been happening worldwide on a really large scale, in the past few years. Katrina. Tsunami.
etc etc

The United States government is giving money back to the people. 300-600 dollars.
Does anyone think this might be a diversion? To take our minds off of the crisis situation our country, and possibly world is in?

I'm not trying to sound like a raving lunatic - but its apparent that something really unusual has been taking place , and the situation only seems to become more fantasy like everyday.


I'm trying to be "rational" about all of this, and say its just coincidences, not to be alarmed -- but even my rational side, along with my intuitive side, is not convinced that these are coincidences.


Does anyone else feel that a really intense change is coming?

Eco-Friendly

Being eco-friendly in these times isn't just about being hip, it is about being conscious. The choices we make in this life greatly reflect our level of awareness. Being eco-friendly is about choosing the best alternatives to preserve the health of our environment and bodies.
Lately I've been reading a lot of eco-friendly choices we can make. Here are some ideas:

• Filter your shower and bath water.
• Recycle (Wow, a big suprise there!)
• Eat Organic. Not only is this a much smarter choice health-wise, it is also much better for our environment. If enough people eat organic foods, this will convince over farms to switch over to not using chemicals that kill our environment and bodies.
• Turn off lights and appliances when not using them (another big suprise...)
• Switch to hardfloor instead of carpet. A much healthier decision.
• Stop wearing deodorants and hygiene products that have offensive chemicals in them. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON YOUR SKIN YOU WOULDNT PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.

These are just some ideas. Come up with your own!

How Can you Buy or Sell Land?

Date: Jul 31, 2007 3:42 PM
Subject: Greatest Speech Ever!!! How....
Body: How Can You Buy or Sell the Sky?


This is a speech made in 1851 by Seattle, chief of the Suquamish, in response to a treaty proposal under which the Indians would sell two million acres of land for $150,000. Buckminster Fuller calls it "one of the most beautiful and profound environmental statements ever made".

How Can You Buy or Sell the Sky?

How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of the red man.

The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and man--all belong to the same family.

So, when the Great Chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land, he asks much of us. The Great Chief sends word he will reserve us a place so that we can live comfortably to ourselves. He will be our father and we will be his children.

So we will consider your offer to buy our land. But it will not be easy. For this land is sacred to us. This shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors. If we sell you land, you must remember that it is sacred, and you must teach your children that it is sacred and that each ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father.

The rivers are our brothers; they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our canoes, and feed our children. If we sell you our land, you must remember, and teach your children, that the rivers are our brothers and yours, and you must henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.

We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on.

He leaves his father's grave behind, and he does not care. His father's grave and his children's birthright are forgotten. He treats his mother, the earth, and his brother, the sky, as things to be bought, plundered, sold like sheep or bright beads. His appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert.

You do not know. Our ways are different from your ways. The sight of your cities pains the eyes of the red man. There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring or the rustle of the insect's wings. The clatter only seems to insult the ears. And what is there to life if a man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the arguments of the frogs around the pond at night? I am a red man and do not understand. The Indian prefers the soft sound of the wind itself, cleansed by a midday rain, or scented with pinon pine.

The air is precious to the red man for all things share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days he is numb to the stench. But if we sell you our land, you must remember that the air is precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The wind that gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last sigh. And if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred as a place where even the white man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow's flowers.

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children that we have taught our children that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.

This we know: the earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. All things are connected. We may be brothers after all. We shall see. One thing we know which the white man may one day discover: Our God is the same God.

You may think now that you own Him as you wish to own our land; but you cannot. He is the God of man, and His compassion is equal for the red man and the white. This earth is precious to Him; and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator. The whites too shall pass; perhaps sooner than all other tribes. Contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste.

But in your perishing you will shine brightly fired by the strength of the God who brought you to this land and for some special purpose gave you dominion over this land and over the red man.

That destiny is a mystery to us, for we do not understand when the buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses are tame, the secret corners of the forest heavy with scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires.

Where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the eagle? Gone.

The end of living and the beginning of survival.

What the world needs at this time

Some are calling this the Information Age. In my sociology class today, we discussed the various stages that a civilization goes through. We start out at hunting and gathering, which appears to be the main drive for movement/interaction in the early stages of civilization. Then, ideally, a civilization would advance to pasture caretaking and horticulture. Cultivating animals and plants for our basic needs. From there, we go to agricultral, where we use tools to cultivate plants. Then, civilization takes a major jump. We become an industrial society, where we produce and sell goods amongst each other. This creates a drastic change in our evolution, for many reasons.

Next, we reach the information age. This is where sociologists believe we exist now. If this is true, then what is the "peak" of the information age? I've always believed that the internet was going to be a major catalyst for the new Golden Age. If anything, the internet was definately the "peak" of the information age.

When the internet and relevant technologies, I think the next step we need to take is to sort out information. A sort of centralized information system, which anyone in the world could access. Not just a global library, but an interactive, accurate, and ever-changing system of databases constantly collecting and sorting information every millisecond.

Without getting ahead of myself, I would definately say that with the Information Age, should come an accurate , or atleast more accurate understanding of Knowledge.

These are the main areas I hope to see represented ACCURATELY within my lifetime. I say accurately , because thus far mainstream sources have FAILED humanity to portray what is TRUE in these field:

1. HISTORY. Wouldn't it be nice to learn the truth about history? Where it REALLY began? What if we could accurately gather the historical references from Sumeria, Egypt, Ancient China and on, and form an honest truth as to how humanity originated, and the links between each civilization. Why does mainstream history fail to recognize the great floods, Atlantis, the link between all civilizations, when evidence is already there? What about the global understanding that needs to be achieved about reincarnation, not just as individuals, but as soul groups, and the understanding of why humans are at this point in our civilization, and how its NOT the first time we've been here (at this level of technological advancement). The evidence has already been brought forth. Why hasn't this evidence been sorted and put into a logical frame of understanding?
2. HEALTH AND NUTRITION. Wouldn't it be great to know the truth and Health and Healing? We live in a society that depends upon man-made chemicals, most toxic to our system, to heal diseases that are already in their later stages of development by the time they are diagnosed. Our current medical establishment has absolutely no cures for viruses, auto-immune disorders, and many other illnesses plaguing our people today. Shouldn't mankind have an accurate understanding of health by this point in our civilization? Many great healers have come and gone, teaching mankind the ways to living perfectly healthy. Their voices are usually blotted out by the bigger voice, the American Medical Assocation, as heretic and useless. Why have the ancient healing arts of Reiki, Fasting, Proper Nutrition, and Preventative disease almost dissappeared? True Health is an inner art form, an inner science, that is greatly misunderstood and needed in today's world. Perphaps the powers that be don't want a truly healthy society. Or, perphaps our illnesses are a reflection of how we treat the Earth as well as our bodies. How can a society be considered positive and productive when its people are sick with all kinds of unnecessary dis-eases?
3. Current Events. What can we say is more biased in today's world than the mass media, who's job it is to inform us of current events, and happenings around the world. Why is all the media so focused on War and Turmoil, and not technological advances, medical advances, positive things happening, etc etc. When will our society finally receive the proper media it deserves? With today's technology, people in our culture should have a better understanding of other cultures, a better awareness, and perhaps we wouldn't have so much ethnocentrism which is destroying America.
4. Spirituality. And finally, with the peak of the Information Age, humanity should have a developed understanding of what true spirituality is, apart from localized beliefs, values, opinions, and religions. The inner wisdom, the inner peace, the inner chambers of Mankind. The techniques of yogic and disciplined practices which allow one to investigate his own inner nature. The mystic, esoteric, and exoteric practices that are the tools, or technology, of the inner self. We definately see an emerging spirituality shaking the beliefs of our Country, especially with the New Age movement...but it is still in its early stages, and still attached to certain dogmas and beliefs that really aren't what the true science of spirituality is. We've had hundreds, no thousands, no more illuminated and enlightened beings come to us in the human form to teach us these sciences, now all we need to do is unbiasly learn and reveal them to ourselves through inner practice and dedication.

The point of this blog? To sum up, humanity is at the stage of development where it has the opportunity to seperate that which is false from that which is true....and to share this knowledge all over the world. Those four fields are some of the most important and misunderstood fields of knowledge which mankind needs to be educated in as a whole.

It's time we start now. Stop trusting the media...the government....the doctors....the bankers....the priests......time to start sorting out information for yourself, and learning on your own what is true and what is not.

Significance of 2012?

This is re-posted from a thread on www.zaadz.com, in the 2012 pod. (To find or join, just go to zaadz.com and search pods for "2012". It is the first one that comes up). This is one persons opinion, which I highly resonate to....maybe others will too...

What is significant with year 2012? To better interpret what will happen in 2012 it is helpful to understand a bit about the history of our unique quadrant within Creation. To help establish a common perspective of some terms used in the following message here is quick outline of some the terms.

What is Source? The Source is simultaneously a singularity and collective. It is a single consciousness and within that consciousness there exists aspects of individuality. These individual aspects are given free will to create and experience. It is through these individual experiences that Source is able to experience all that can be imagined. Individual aspects are created with varying degrees of Source consciousness (remembrance). Do you remember the excitement of discovering something for the first time? If the individual aspects had complete remembrance of all that exists (Source consciousness) then there would be no surprises, no profound discovery, no new frontiers to explore.

What is energy? The basic concept is that all ‘things' are energy and that energy is the basis for everything in vastness of Creation. Energy has a frequency and a pattern of vibration. What we perceive in this 3^rd dimensional reality is a particular frequency/vibration that our 5 physical senses interpret as a person, place, or thing. We are always directing our energy to create. We create experiences in our lives, we create a microcosm of a reality around us, when we daydream / visualize we create these entire visions but they vibrating at a frequency that is not interpreted by any of 5 physical senses.

What is time? Time is a perception of segmented space. From the perspective of a being looking at this segment of Creation from the outside there is no time. There is a linear unfoldment but instantly the probabilities of the future are available. Past lives are our perception of time. They are truly concurrent parallel lives that exist in another frequency division (dimension). Not to be confused with parallel lives within the same space/time. Ten thousand earth years is a blink of an eye in Creation time. The unfoldment of manifestations in earth time is uniquely slow to materialize.

In order to understand where we are today it may be helpful to look at our current space/time from three different perspectives. 1)What was the original blueprint of this quadrant. 2) What shifted / changed to create our current world. 3) How does it get realigned and what happens.

1) Original Blueprint -

The formulation of this universe within Creation was based on a logical and mathematically exact unfoldment of conscious expansion. This universe as well as all the other playgrounds for consciousness experiences were created from the combination of thought and intent of the Source. Our quadrant was created according to a divine order just like all the others. Many types of beings, or aspects, assisted in creating this slowly vibrating physical manifestation. These Creation beings do not require a physical body to exist. They are in general terms spirit beings. These beings create everything from the minute details of sub atomic particles to the manifestation of planets. As you can imagine there is a vast amount energy that needs to be transmuted to various patterns and frequencies to create a world like our. There are basic geometric boilerplates that are used to create a playground. There are basic laws of Creation. One of these laws is the law of free will. Each and every being regardless of size, origin, shape, color, frequency, or pattern has a Source given right to free will in absolutely all aspects of experience.

With in the divine order every being's thoughts are shared with others. There are no secrets and no reason to lie for every experience was easy, joyful, and abundant.

Each thought that we have is a cascading wave of energy that is sent out in all directions. For instance, when we pray to God, however you perceive God(s), that wave of energy is transmitted through a complex array of intersecting grids to all corners of Creation. Within the divine plan there is not one single thought that is not available across Creation. Each being has a connection back to the Source. Each being knows to a varying degree that they are a part of a larger aspect, the law of one, at one with all that exists, an aspect of oneself. There is harmony, there is divine purpose, and there is help and support.

2) What got shifted -

Some 500 thousand years ago a group of beings thought it would exciting to sever the energetic connection between this quadrant and the rest of Creation. They manipulated the energetic grids so that they in effect were in control of the energetic grids. This is often referred to as a veil or existing in a sleep state. We lost our connection to who and what we really are, an aspect of the Source. At first it was simply an experiment to see what would happen. It was a slow unfoldment. Incarnate being that lost their connection to the Source slowly forgot how to find God within. We lost our ability to remember why we are here and what our purpose is. We forgot that everyone on this planet is simply another aspect of our true self. We forgot how to connect to our higher self consciousness. We ever so slowly slipped into an existence where we now think we are simply bio physical sentient beings living a world of disharmony. The beings that created this disharmony have been playing with us. They have seeded the earth grid with thoughts (energy) of dislocation, desperation, isolation, condemnation, hierarchy, and such. They have manipulated aspects of our physicality in an attempt to prevent us from regaining our connection to the Truth.

3) What is happening today -

At a certain point the disharmonious beings went too far. They stole our free will and imposed their will upon us. From the Sources perspective they exceeded their right of free will and our existence of experience was quickly slipping into chaos. The intent of Source was to correct this disharmony. Since all that exists is an energetic vibration of the Source it was immediately executed. If you recall the outline for time you will remember that 10 thousand years is a blink of a spirit being eye and that transmuting of energy within this slowly vibrating quadrant is slow to manifest from our humanly perspective. For the prophets, shaman, clairvoyants, … that are able to perceive this from the outside looking in, it has already happened. Some can see the momentum of energy, some can feel the Source intent, some can see the possibilities of physical unfoldment.

There are human beings on this planet that know all this. Each time they incarnate they are rediscovered and re-taught these Truths. Unfortunately, only a handful are working to realign this existence. There are more that are taught how to maintain the hierarchy, how to manipulate the humans, how to create and maintain power. The human race has been enslaved by the unified intent of both physical and non-physical beings. They have orchestrated global events, media messages, built institutions, created the hierarchical segregation, and penetrated almost all level of our existence. They have created belief systems, and promoted emotional traumas that create disharmony in our energetic fields that prevents us from vibrating at a high enough level where we can access the Truth.

What is 2012 all about? -

The first thing to believe is that 2012 is not an “event”. There is a uniqueness of this time period but the world does not change instantly at this point in time. There is free will and each of us has the infinite power to create so if you intend to create and/or experience an ‘event' you may materialize it. The Truth is that a specific energetic shift started thousands of years ago and is now being felt in our physical world. The earth grid veil was pierced and the vibration of the Source was reestablished on this planet. 2012 is not just about our little planet. It is about this entire quadrant of Creation. The energetic grids that link this section of the universe to the Source are being reconstructed to the original blueprint as well as our earth grid. There will be a universal alignment of planets and grids that will bring us back into the awareness of our true nature. When earth is shifted and the grids restored we will all be reconnected to our source and re-experience our soul lineage. Harmony, abundance, peace, oneness, Love,.. will be the predominate available thoughts, feelings and experiences. We will once again have the choice to enjoy our path to glorious experiences and creations - or for some NOT.

The shift of energy is happening today. The way our governments are operating are starting to shift. More and more people are become more aware. It is not a matter of learning - it is simply a matter of remembering. There is really nothing to “DO” to merge with your true nature. It only requires the willingness to be open to the possibility that there is more to this existence than what your 5 physical senses present to you. Develop a willingness to trust your larger consciousness. You will never loose your individuality even when fully merged with the Source consciousness. You will gain the ability to become at one with all the other aspects of consciousness. You will shed your physical mind perspective and reunite with your larger consciousness. Some may say shed your ego and some may say that it is simply a shift in consciousness to a higher perspective. It will be helpful if you develop a sense of discernment. As the energy of an experience, a message, an inspiration, a feeling, a thought, or idea passes through your awareness take a second to use your core guilt feel then make a conscious decision on how you want to proceed. As we get closer to 2012 everyone will become aware of their own personal energy field and the false belief systems, the emotional links, and the cellular memory events that act as filters and blocks to remembering the Truth. These energetic blobs in your field hinder you from raising your vibration to a high enough level to where you can fully merge with your larger consciousness. There is a direct correlation between your corporeal body and that of your energetic body.

The disharmonious beings are not real fond of relinquishing control. They will take action in an attempt to maintain their rank in the hierarchy. Their control is based on fear, intimidation, uncertainty, separation,… If you hear a message that sounds like “Us vs. Them”, “be fearful of …”, “protect yourself” then recognize it as a mechanism to separate you from the other aspects of yourself. The heightened “Orange Security Alert” at the airports was a fantastic creation of control. The constant droning of “be afraid, close up, don't trust anyone, the world is uncertain” targeted at the mid to upper class was pure genius.

With only a handful of exceptions, every single human being on this planet truly wants to live in harmony with the world and everyone in it. There may be disharmonious manifestations that the world population will experience leading up to 2012. It will be important not to focus your awareness on the lower vibration of this experience. Instead, ask that we all experience the highest vibration of Love that each of us can embody. The direct access to God will be experienced when you exercise your own personal power and free will to experience your own reality and not that of others.

As we get closer to 2012 -

Every being has free will to pursue the newly available experiences or to remain in the older patterns. If you make the choice to move forward you will notice changes happening all around you. You will notice that changes are happening to you. Things that were comfortable for you in the past may not be comfortable for you any longer. You career may take a change direction, you feel inclined to move, you may loose relationship and create new ones. Activities that you enjoyed in the past may no longer bring you pleasure. The messages from the elite world leaders may become transparent. The manipulative messages that are presented in the media will become less effective and people will see past the message to the intent and the attempt to control will become clear. You may be blissful in one moment and in the next you may feel as though your world is collapsing.

Some might say that the epic clash between good and evil is at hand. Some might say the second coming of Christ and the presence of the devil will become evident. If you think in terms of Christ as good and devil as evil and that everything is energy then you may start to build personal understanding of what has been prophesized. If the thought and intent energy of the Truth is symbolized by Christ, or any of the other version of saviors, and if the thought energy of the unified disharmonious beings is the energetic control or veil then yes there will be a vividly evident display of conflicting energy. The intent of the disharmonious beings will be to create conflict, confusion, fear, separation. And the intent of Source is to provide an energetic path to getting home. As this unfolds over the next 5 years it will become increasing more polarized. The disharmony will be obviously visible in all of its manifestations and the demonstration of our true lineage will be equally as visible. We, the beings on this earth, will have a choice on how this plays out in our experience.

Our perception of time is that it is moving quicker. This is based on the fact that the frequency of everything around us is vibrating higher and the space that we perceive as distance and time is less dense. This may be analogous to light vs. dark. How darkness can not exist in the presence of light. How darkness/disharmony is simply the absence of light/higher vibration. The natural state of Creation is a constant connection to the highest vibration of Source. The energetic veil that disrupted this frequency from being anchored on this planet is fading quickly and will be dissolved by 2012.

As we move closer to 2012 each person will have the opportunity to reawaken to the Truth. It will be an individual choice as to whether you what to listen to the message or continue living in this veiled existence. There is never a right or wrong choice - there is simply the option to express free will and experience any reality you care to create for yourself or care to allow someone to create for you.

Take a moment to consider the perspective of the Source. You watch this world of experiences slowly slip into disconnectedness. You feel, hear, and sense the disharmony of the corrupted energy. There are billions of aspects of yourself that have become isolated, lonely, scared, confused, lost, … Of course your intent is save and reconnect each and every aspect. Your intent is to save even the disharmonious aspects and transmute them to whole for they have simply fallen into a state of forgetfulness too. From this perspective wouldn't you make every effort to make this transition as easy, painless, comfortable, healthy, and natural as possible? Wouldn't you make every attempt to unfold your intent with grace? Remember you are an aspect of God and if you place yourself in this perspective and set your individual intent to experience a glorious transition not only for yourself but for all aspects of God you will create and anchor heaven on earth. 02/13/07

Red Meat linked to Breast Cancer

Red and processed meat linked to breast cancer Mon Apr 16, 3:05 PM ET



NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women who eat a lot of meat, particularly red or processed meats, may be more likely to develop breast cancer, according to a large study of British women.

Researchers found that among 35,372 women, between the ages of 35 and 69 years old, who were followed for 8 years, those who ate the largest amount of meat were more likely than non-meat eaters to develop breast cancer before or after menopause.

The link was stronger among postmenopausal women, with red and processed meat seeming to particularly raise their risk of breast cancer. Women who ate the most red meat (2 or more ounces per day) were 56 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than the women who ate no red meat.

Meanwhile, those who ate the most processed meat (more than three quarters of an ounce per day) showed a 64-percent increase in their risk of the disease.

The association between meat in the diet and breast cancer was weaker among premenopausal women, but those with the highest total meat intake were still 20 percent more likely to develop the disease than non-meat eaters.

Professor Janet E. Cade and her colleagues at the University of Leeds report the findings in the British Journal of Cancer.

Many studies have investigated the relationship between diet and breast cancer. Some, but not all, have found that meat and saturated fat may raise women's risk of the disease. One of the strengths of the current study was the detailed dietary information it collected, according to the authors.

Meat intake remained linked to breast cancer risk even after the researchers factored in the women's overall diet content and quantity, age, weight, exercise habits and smoking.

There are a number of reasons that heavy meat consumption could theoretically contribute to breast cancer, according to experts. One possibility is saturated fat, which research suggests may promote the growth of tumor cells. Another explanation may be certain compounds produced when meat is grilled -- heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - that have been shown to promote tumors in animals, and possibly in humans.

While studies have come to conflicting conclusions over the connection between meat and breast cancer, the current findings suggest that it's best for women to have their burgers in moderation, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR).

"This new study offers further confirmation of AICR's standing recommendation to limit intake of red meat to less than 3 ounces per day," Dr. Ritva Butrum, a science advisor to the group, said in a statement.

"If these results are confirmed by other investigations in the future," Butrum added, "post-menopausal women may wish to limit their intake of meat, especially processed meat, even further."

How to Achieve Happiness

How to Achieve Happiness

· Forgive.

Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Stop holding on to what you and others have done in the past – no matter how painful or great it has been.

· PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)

If you believe in something, if you REALLY believe in something, don’t you try to hold on to it, and defend it at any cost? Why not believe in yourself. Keep your emotions up, at any cost. If you are experiencing high vibes and a lot of joy, it is very hard for things to go wrong. IT IS VERY HARD TO CATCH COLDS OR GET SICK

· Meditation

Take some take everyday to sit quietly, and observe your thoughts. 5-10 minutes is sufficient if you don’t already have a traditional practice. The best times are when you wake up, or before you go to sleep. Enjoy sitting with yourself – because if you can’t – others can’t either!

· Exercise

Find some form of physical movement that you enjoy, and do it. Hiking, walking, weight lifting, skiing, hatha yoga, stretching, whatsoever it may be. When you exercise, you help to purify your physical body and mind – which is especially needed because of what we do to our bodies and minds. Without exercise, we become lazy, ill, and unproductive. This is not the way to happiness!

· Relationships

Having poor relationships with others is not efficient. One needs to learn how to be productive within families, jobs, and friendships. Our relationship with others is a huge reflection of our relationship with ourselves.

· Expression

It is of utmost importance that an individual finds a way to express himself. Through self-expression, one learns to channel and release energy in a productive manner, for all the world to see. Examples are music, art, writing, film, or even spiritual practice.

Dangers of consuming cow products:

Consuming cow products should be avoided, or atleast strictly limited. The consumption of cow milk and/or red meat are known to cause the following disesases and disorders:

• Heart Disease,
• Obesity,
  
• Allergies,
  
• High Cholestrol,
  
• Anemia,
  
• Cancers of all types (prostate, breast, colon, pancreatic, and many more),
  
• Ostoperosis
• and many, many more.

Not to mention the inhumane proceedure of killing the animals, and the horrible environmental destruction as a direct result of factory-farming.
