I finally had to also ask myself whether our understanding and our concept of disease had not been entirely wrong because of our ignorance of the biological purpose of disease.  -Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D.

German New Medicine 101: Introduction to the Five Biological Laws.
On August 18, 1978, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D., at the time head internist in the oncology clinic at the University of Munich, Germany, received the shocking news that his son Dirk had been shot. Dirk died in December 1978. A few months later, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Since he had never been seriously ill, he immediately surmised that his cancer development might be directly related to the tragic loss of his son.
Dirk’s death and his own experience with cancer prompted Dr. Hamer to investigate the personal history of his cancer patients. He quickly learned that, like him, they all had gone through some exceptionally stressful episode prior to developing cancer. The observation of a mind-body connection was not really surprising. Numerous studies had already shown that cancer and other diseases are often preceded by a traumatic event.
But Dr. Hamer took his research a momentous step further. Pursuing the hypothesis that all bodily events are controlled from the brain, he analyzed his patients’ brain scans and compared them with their medical records. Dr. Hamer discovered that EVERY DISEASE—not only cancer!—is controlled from its own specific area in the brain and linked to a very particular, identifiable, “conflict shock”. The result of his research is a scientific chart that illustrates the biological relationship between the psyche and the brain in correlation with the organs and tissues of the entire human body.

An Introduction to THE FIVE BIOLOGICAL LAWS.
Dr. Hamer came to call his findings “The Five Biological Laws of the New Medicine”, because these biological laws, which are applicable to any patient’s case, offer an entirely new understanding of the cause, the development, and the natural healing process of diseases. In 1981, Dr. Hamer presented his findings to the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen as a post-doctoral thesis. But to this day, the University has refused to test Dr. Hamer’s research in spite of its legal obligation to do so. This is an unprecedented case in the history of universities. Similarly, official medicine refuses to approve his discoveries despite some 30 scientific verifications both by independent physicians and by professional associations.
Shortly after Dr. Hamer submitted his thesis, he was given the ultimatum to renounce his discoveries or have his contract renewal at the University clinic denied. In 1986, even though his scientific work had never been impeached, much less disproved, Dr. Hamer was stripped of his medical license on the grounds that he refused to conform to the principles of standard medicine. Yet he was determined to continue his work. By 1987 he was able to extend his discoveries to practically every disease known to medicine.
Dr. Hamer has been persecuted and harassed for over 25 years, in particular by the German and French authorities… Since 1997, Dr. Hamer has been living in exile where he carries on with his research and where he continues to fight for official recognition of his “New Medicine”.

THE ORIGIN OF DISEASE IN THE BRAIN.
Dr. Hamer established that “every disease is caused by a conflict shock that catches an individual completely off guard” (First Biological Law). In honor of his son, Dr. Hamer called this unanticipated stressful event a Dirk Hamer Syndrome or DHS. Psychologically speaking, a DHS is a very personal incident conditioned by our past experiences, our vulnerabilities, our individual perceptions, our values and beliefs. Yet, a DHS is not merely psychological but rather a biological conflict. Animals experience these biological shocks in concrete terms, for example, through a sudden loss of the nest or territory, a loss of an offspring, a separation from a mate or from the pack, an unexpected threat of starvation, or a death-fright. 

Since over time the human mind acquired a figurative way of thinking, we can experience these biological conflicts also in a transposed sense. A male, for instance, can suffer a “territorial loss conflict” when he unexpectedly loses his home or his workplace; a female “nest conflict” may be a concern over the well-being of a “nest member”; an “abandonment conflict” can be triggered by an unforeseen divorce or by being rushed to the hospital; children often suffer a “separation conflict” when Mom decides to go back to work or when the parents split up.
By analyzing thousands of brain computer tomograms (CT) in relation to his patient’s histories, Dr. Hamer discovered that the moment a DHS occurs, the shock impacts a specific, predetermined area in the brain, causing a “lesion” that is visible on a CT scan as a set of sharp concentric rings.
 

Your body is intelligent! (EP2-HYSC-English) German New Medicine.

(In 1989, Siemens, the German CT scanner manufacturer, certified that these ring formations are not artifacts of the equipment). Upon impact, the affected brain cells communicate the shock to the corresponding organ, which in turn responds with a particular—predictable!—alteration. The reason why specific conflicts are indissolubly tied to specific brain areas is that each part of the brain is programmed to respond instantly to conflicts that could threaten our survival. While the “old brain” (brain stem and cerebellum) is programmed with basic survival issues that relate to breathing, eating, or reproduction, the “new brain” (cerebrum) is encoded with more advanced themes such as territorial conflicts, separation conflicts, identity conflicts, and self-devaluation conflicts.
Dr. Hamer’s medical research is firmly tied to the science of embryology, because whether the organ responds to a conflict by a tumor growth, by tissue meltdown, or by functional impairment is determined by the embryonic germ layer from which both the organ and corresponding brain tissue originate.

(Third Biological Law).
GNM’s “Ontogenetic System of Tumors” illustrates that “old-brain”-controlled organs, which derive from the endoderm or the “old-brain”-mesoderm, like the lungs, liver, colon, prostate, uterus, corium skin, pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, breast glands, etc., always generate cell proliferation as soon as the corresponding conflict occurs. Tumors of these organs therefore develop exclusively during the conflict-active phase (initiated by the DHS).
Let’s take lung cancer, for example: The biological conflict linked to lung cancer is a “death-fright conflict”, because in biological terms the death panic is equated with being unable to breathe. With the shock of the death-fright the lung alveoli cells, which regulate breathing, instantly start to multiply, forming a lung tumor. Contrary to the conventional view, this multiplication of lung cells is not a pointless process but serves a very definite biological purpose, namely, to increase the capacity of the lungs and thereby optimize the organism’s chance of survival. Dr. Hamer’s brain scan analyses demonstrate that every person with lung cancer shows a distinct target ring configuration in the corresponding area in the brain stem, and that each patient had suffered an unexpected death panic prior to the onset of cancer. In the majority of cases the death scare was triggered by a cancer diagnosis shock that the person experienced as a “death sentence”. Given that smoking is on the decrease, this sheds new light on the enigmatic increase of lung cancer (“The #1 Killer”) and calls into question whether smoking is per se an actual cause of lung cancer.

The Psycho-Emotional Roots of Cancer (acupuncturetoday.com)
Glandular breast cancer, according to Dr. Hamer’s findings, is the result of either a “mother-child” or a “partner worry” conflict. These types of conflict always impact the “old brain” in the area that controls the milk-producing glands. A female can suffer a mother-child worry conflict when her offspring is suddenly injured or seriously ill. During the conflict-active stress phase, the breast gland cells continually multiply, forming a tumor. The biological purpose of the cell proliferation is to be able to provide more milk for the suffering offspring and thus speed up healing.
Every female human and mammal is born with this age-old biological response program. Dr. Hamer’s many case studies show that women, even when not breast feeding, developed a tumor in the breast glands from obsessively worrying about the well-being of a loved one (a child who is in trouble, a parent who is ill, or a dear friend who is a cause for concern).
What has been said about lung cancer and breast cancer equally applies to all other cancers that originate in the “old brain”. Each is triggered by a specific conflict shock that activates a “Meaningful Special Biological Program.”

(Fifth Biological Law) which allows the organism to override everyday functioning and deal physically with the emergency situation. For each type of conflict there is a brain relay from where the particular biological program is coordinated. While “old-brain”-controlled organs generate a tumor growth during the conflict-active phase, the opposite is the case with all organs that are controlled from the cerebrum (“new brain”). 
Concerning the embryonic germ layer, all cerebrum-directed organs and tissues (ovaries, testicles, bones, lymph nodes, epidermis, lining of the cervix, bronchial tubes, coronary vessels, milk ducts, etc.) originate from the ectoderm or the “new-brain”-mesoderm. The moment the conflict occurs, the biologically corresponding organ tissue responds with cell degeneration. Necrosis of the ovaries or testicles, osteoporosis, bone cancer, or stomach ulcers, for example, are conditions that only occur while a person is in a state of emotional distress in regards to the related conflict. As is to be expected, tissue loss has a biological significance.
Let’s take, for example, the tissue of the milk duct lining. Since the squamous epithelial lining of the milk ducts developed at a much later time than the milk-producing glands, this younger tissue is controlled from a younger part of the brain, namely, the cerebral cortex. The biological conflict of the milk duct lining is a “separation conflict” experienced as if “my child [or my partner] was torn from my breast”. A female mammal can suffer such a conflict when her offspring is lost or killed. As a natural reflex to the conflict the tissue of the milk duct lining starts to ulcerate. 

The purpose of the tissue loss is to increase the diameter of the ducts, because with enlarged ducts the milk that is no longer used can drain off easier and doesn’t get congested in the breast. Every woman’s brain is programmed with this biological response. Since the female breast is, biologically speaking, synonymous with caring and nurturing, women suffer such a conflict by unexpected separation from a loved one they intensely care for. There are virtually no physical symptoms during the conflict-active phase, except occasional light “pulling” in the breast.

THE TWO-PHASE-PATTERN OF EVERY DISEASE.
Dr. Hamer also discovered that, provided there is a resolution of the conflict, every disease proceeds in two phases, (Second Biological Law). During the first, or conflict-active phase, the entire organism is geared to dealing with the conflict. While a meaningful cell alteration runs its course on the physical level, the psyche and the vegetative autonomous system also try to handle the unexpected situation. Switched into a stress state (sympathicotonia), the mind becomes completely preoccupied with the conflict contents. Sleep disturbances and lack of appetite are typical symptoms. 
Biologically speaking, this is vital, because the focus on the conflict and the extra waking hours provide the right conditions for working through the conflict and finding a resolution. The conflict-active phase is also called the “cold phase”. Since the blood vessels are constricted during stress, typical symptoms of conflict activity are cold extremities (particularly cold hands), the shivers, and cold sweats.
The intensity of the symptoms is naturally dependent on the magnitude of the conflict. If a person remains in an intense conflict-active state over a long period of time, the condition can be fatal. But Dr. Hamer proves beyond reasonable doubt that an organism can never die of cancer, in and of itself. 

A person can die as a result of mechanical complications of a tumor that, for example, occludes a vital organ such as the colon or the bile ducts, but in no way can cancer cells, as such, cause death. In German New Medicine the distinction between “malignant” and “benign” cancers is entirely meaningless. The term “malignant” is an artificial construct (the same applies to tumor markers) that simply indicates that the activity of cell reproduction has exceeded a certain arbitrary limit. 
If a person dies during the conflict-active phase, it is usually because of energy loss, weight loss, sleep deprivation, and emotional and mental exhaustion. Often, it is a devastating cancer diagnosis or a negative prognosis—“You have six months to live!”—that throws cancer patients (including their loved ones) into a state of despair. With little or no hope, and deprived of their life-force, they waste away and eventually die of cachexia, an agonizing process that conventional cancer treatment will only accelerate. If the patient has not undergone any conventional treatment (especially chemotherapy or radiotherapy), GNM has a success rate of 95 to 98 percent. Ironically these statistics for Dr. Hamer’s remarkable success rate were delivered by the authorities themselves. 

When Dr. Hamer was arrested in 1997 for having given three people medical advice without a medical license, the police confiscated his patients’ files and had them analyzed. Subsequently, one public prosecutor was forced to admit during the trial that, after five years, 6,000 out of 6,500 patients with mostly “terminal” cancer were still alive. With conventional treatment the figures are generally just the reverse. According to epidemiologist and biostatistician Dr. Ulrich Abel (Germany), “Success of most chemotherapies is appalling…There is no scientific evidence for its ability to extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering from the most common organic cancer… Chemotherapy for malignancies too advanced for surgery, which accounts for 80% of all cancers, is a scientific wasteland.”(Lancet 1991).

THE BODY HEALS ITSELF.
The resolution of the conflict signals the beginning of the second phase of the biological program. Our emotions and our organism switch immediately into a healing mode assisted by the vegetative system’s switch into “vagotonia”. During the healing phase the appetite returns, but we are very tired (we might not even be able to get out of bed). Rest and supplying the organism with nutrients are essential while the body is trying to heal. The second phase is also called the “warm phase”, as during vagotonia the blood vessels are enlarged, causing warm hands, warm feet, and warm skin. 
With the resolution of the conflict there is also an instant change at the organ level. Cell proliferation (“old-brain”- controlled tumor growth) or cell meltdown (“new-brain”-controlled tissue loss) immediately comes to a halt, and the appropriate repair process is set in motion. An area that necrotized or ulcerated during the conflict-active phase is now being refilled and replenished with new cells. This is usually accompanied with potentially painful swelling, caused by an edema that protects the tissue while it is healing. Other typical repair symptoms are hypersensitivity, itching, spasm (if muscle tissue is involved), and inflammation. 

Examples of “diseases” that only occur in the healing phase are: certain skin disorders, hemorrhoids, laryngitis, bronchitis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, bladder or kidney disorders, certain liver diseases, and infections (see below). Based on the observation of cell multiplication (mitosis) and the standard distinction between “benign” and “malignant” tumors, conventional medicine interprets the natural cell production of healing tissues as a “malignancy”. In GNM we likewise distinguish two types of tumors. But the tumors are not divided into “good” and “bad” ones; rather they are classified according to their tissue type and the part of the brain from which they originate and are controlled. There are those tumors which develop exclusively during the conflict-active phase (lung tumor, colon tumor, liver tumor, uterus tumor, prostate tumor, etc.) and, conversely, those that result from the natural repair process. 
As with “old-brain”-controlled cancers, the tumor growth is neither accidental nor meaningless since the cell proliferation stops as soon as the tissue is mended. Testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, various types of sarcoma, bronchial and laryngeal carcinoma, and cervical cancer are all of a curative nature and are exclusively phenomena of the healing phase. Provided that the healing process is not interrupted through medication or a conflict relapse, these tumors eventually degrade during the completion of the healing phase. The second type of breast cancer, the “ductal carcinoma in situ” (DCIS), also falls into this category. While a glandular breast cancer is an indication that a woman is in the active phase of a worry conflict, an intra-ductal cancer is a positive sign that the related separation conflict (“torn from my breast”) has been resolved. A woman doesn’t develop breast cancer without a reason! Neither does she develop breast cancer by coincidence in precisely her right or left breast.

THE BENEFICIAL ROLE OF MICROBES.
Another aspect of Dr. Hamer’s research has been the role of microbes during disease development. This, in brief, is what he found (Fourth Biological Law): Microbes such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses are only active during the healing phase, and the manner in which they operate is fully in accordance with evolutionary logic. Tubercular bacteria, for example, populate only “old-brain”-controlled tissues. Their function during the repair phase is to decompose tumors that are now superfluous, e.g., lung tumors, colon tumors, kidney tumors, prostate tumors, uterus tumors, breast gland tumors, melanomas, and mesothelioma. 
Tubercular bacteria are essential for breaking down the buildup of “disposable cells” that proliferated for a biological reason during the conflict-active phase. If the required bacteria are not available, due to vaccination, overuse of antibiotics, or chemotherapy treatment, the tumor cannot disintegrate properly. As a result, it stays in place and encapsulates harmlessly. Detected in a routine check-up, however, such an encapsulated growth can lead to a “cancer” diagnosis and, potentially, new conflict shocks with new symptoms. By understanding the biological laws of disease development this prospect can be virtually eliminated.

While bacteria break down tumor cells that are no longer needed, viruses appear to be involved in the healing process of—exclusively—cerebral-cortex-controlled tissues (e.g., bronchia, nasal membrane, stomach lining, lining of the bile ducts, and epidermis). Hepatitis, pneumonia, herpes, influenza, and stomach flu, are indications that a “virulent” but natural healing process is running its course… The dilemma in which conventional medicine finds itself is that by failing to recognize the two-phase pattern of every disease, the first, conflict-active phase, routinely gets overlooked. Since microbes are only active during the healing phase, and since the activity of microbes is typically accompanied by swelling, fever, pus, discharge, and pain, microbes are considered malevolent and the cause of infectious diseases. But microbes do not cause the disease. After all, it is our organism that employs the microbes to optimize the healing process. Microbes can, of course, be transmitted, but they remain dormant until the person is in the healing phase of the same type of conflict.

QUESTIONING METASTASIS
Based on GNM’s “Ontogenetic System of Tumors”, the widely propagated theory of metastasis that suggests that cancer cells travel through the blood or lymph vessels and cause cancers at new sites is, in Dr. Hamer’s words, “pure academic fiction”. Cells in general and cancer cells in particular can under no circumstances change their histological structure or cross the germ layer threshold. For example, a lung tumor cell, which is of endodermal origin, controlled from the brain stem (“old brain”), and which proliferates during the conflict-active phase cannot transform itself into a bone cell, which is of mesodermal origin, controlled from the cerebrum (“new brain”), and which deteriorates during a conflict-active decalcification process. In the scenario “lung cancer metastasizes into the bones”, the lung cancer cells would actually be creating a hole (i.e., cell meltdown!—the reverse of a cancer) in some bone in the body. We also have to ask ourselves why cancer cells rarely “spread” to the closest neighboring tissue, e.g., from the uterus to the cervix. 

If cancer cells travel via the bloodstream, why is donated blood not screened for cancer cells? Why are there not multitudinous tumors found in the walls of the blood vessels of cancer patients? Dr. Hamer does not, of course, dispute the fact of second cancers, but these subsequent tumors are not caused by migrating cancer cells that miraculously transform into a different cell type, but rather by new conflict shocks. New DHSs can be initiated by additional traumatic life experiences or through diagnosis shocks. As already mentioned, an unexpected diagnosis of cancer, or being told that it is “metastasizing” can trigger a death-fright (causing lung cancer) or any other type of diagnosis-related shock, causing new cancers in other parts of the body. In many cases these patients don’t make it into the healing phase, because the severe state of stress weakens them to a point where they have very little chance of surviving the highly toxic chemotherapy treatment. 

The second most frequent cancer after lung cancer is bone cancer. Dr. Hamer found that our bones are biologically linked to our self-esteem and our self-worth. Thus, being told one has a “life-threatening illness”, especially one that allegedly “spreads like wildfire” through the body, is equated with: “now I am useless”, and the bone(s), next to where we feel “useless” start to decalcify (in the case of breast cancer often in the area of the sternum or the ribs). Just as with a fractured bone, the purpose of the biological program (of the “disease”) appears at the end of the healing phase. When the repair phase is completed, the bone will be much stronger at that site, thus assuring that we are better equipped for the eventuality of a new “self-devaluation conflict”.

THE NATURE OF BRAIN TUMORS
Once the conflict has been resolved, the brain lesion—along with the psyche and the organ—also enters the healing phase. As with any wound that is being repaired, an edema (excess fluid) develops to provide protection of the recovering neural tissue. On the brain scan the changes are clearly noticeable: the sharp target rings submerge in the edema and appear now as blurry, indistinct and dark. At the height of the healing phase, when the brain edema has reached its maximum size, the brain triggers a brief, strong push that expels the edema. In GNM terminology, this counter regulation is called the “Epileptoid Crisis” (EC). 
During this crisis, the entire organism is thrust briefly into a state of sympathicotonia, i.e., re-living the typical symptoms of the conflict-active phase such as cold sweats, cold extremities, a fast heartbeat, and nausea. The intensity and duration of this pre-programmed crisis is determined by the intensity and the duration of the preceding conflict. Heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and epileptic seizures are just a few examples of this crucial turning point. The type of “crisis” always depends on the nature of the conflict and the precise brain area involved. 
After the brain edema has been pressed out, neuroglia, which is brain connective tissue that provides structural support for neurons, assembles at the site to restore the function of the nerve cells that were affected by the conflict shock (DHS). It is this natural glia accumulation that conventional medicine labels as a “brain tumor”, with often dire consequences for the patient. Dr. Hamer established already in 1981 that a “brain tumor” is not a disease in itself, but symptomatic of a healing phase that runs parallel in the organ (controlled from the correlated area of the brain that is simultaneously undergoing the repair phase). “Metastatic brain cancers”, therefore, do not exist either.

GNM THERAPY (in a nutshell)
The very first step in GNM therapy is to provide an understanding of the biological nature of a symptom, e.g., a certain cancer, in relation to its psychical cause. A brain scan and a thorough medical history are vital to determine whether the patient is still conflict-active or is already healing. If still in the active phase, the focus is to identify the original DHS and to develop a strategy to resolve the conflict. It is crucial to prepare the patient for the healing symptoms and for potential complications. These symptoms are very predictable! Dr. Hamer’s findings provide us —for first time in the history of medicine—with a reliable system that allows us not only to understand but also to predict the development and symptoms of each and every disease. This is real preventive medicine, an aspect of German New Medicine which can hardly be emphasized enough. 
True prevention requires an understanding of the real cause of a disease, and that is what Dr. Hamer’s research supplies in splendid detail. By understanding the “Five Biological Laws” of the cause and healing process of disease we can free ourselves from the fear and panic that often come with the onset of symptoms. This knowledge is more than power, it can save lives.

We believe that the body was created by God to heal from all symptoms, conditions and diseases and if the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health are lived and the stored mental/emotional toxins (lies), traumas and shocks are replaced with Truth then vibrant health of body, mind and emotions can be regained.
It is our belief at Total Health Institute that the body, created by God, can naturally heal when the proper internal and external environment is produced. 
We never have and never will treat any symptom, condition or disease. 
Our purpose is to promote total health of the body, mind and spirit through natural treatments and therapies along with teaching the 7 Basic Steps to Total Health™ lifestyle and the Truth to set each person free from incorrect learned knowledge about health and healing.
Stored mental/emotional traumas (lies)that occurred in the first 20 years of life can be stored in the body as a mental/emotional trauma or shock. This mental/emotional pattern can be retriggered within 1-2 years of the onset of a condition or disease.

This retriggering has a cascade effect of:
1. Excessive thought activity in the brain, this can actually cause the brain cells to be destroyed because of the mental/emotional stress.
2. The possible associated organ that the brain area supplies can also be affected thus causing symptoms, conditions and diseases.
One of the ways to complete the healing so that the body can once again be in total health and not fall into chronic recurring symptoms, conditions and diseases is to find and resolve the original mental/emotional traumas or shocks by replacing the lies with Truth.  Suppress Emotions Suppress The Immune System.

Whatever Makes You Unhappy

Why It Takes Enormous Strength To Walk Away From What Is Comfortable.

Fall is in full force. The weather is changing. Soon, there will be no trace left of the summer days. As the pigment of the leaves changes, we watch them fall off the branches, then make their way back to Earth. It’s a reminder that every now and then, we need to use our strength and make some changes in our lives.
Oftentimes, we become so accustomed to things and people that we try to hold onto them too tightly out of fear of change. On one hand, convenience and familiarity is comfortable. Our minds can make us believe we need these things, situations, and relationships, and that’s why we hold on to them for dear life.
People and things will come in and out of our lives, so we need to learn when it’s time to walk away. This has been one of the hardest lessons for me to learn. I’ve had to painfully walk away from people and things that I wanted to hold onto because I feared letting go. I was able to let them out of my life, but it took strength to walk away.

It takes strength to walk away from someone you love.
When holding on is hurting you, and you’re stuck in a relationship that is no longer what you want, what you deserve, it’s time to walk away. Walking away requires strength.  Leaving others behind might hurt at first, but once the pain is gone, you will start to see things from a different perspective.  You will understand that walking away from someone who is not good for you is a sign of strength and courage. By walking away, you are freeing yourself to eventually find a better partner.

It takes strength to walk away from friends who no longer walk the same path.
If you have grown apart from your friends, it takes strength to understand that not all friendships are meant to last forever. By walking away, though, you’re not discrediting what you once had, you’re not forgetting the memories and the good times you once shared. Instead, you are simply acknowledging that you and your friends are different now, that things have changed, and this is not what you want anymore.

It takes strength to walk away from the past.
The past has so many memories from which we don’t want to move on. Our hearts see the good in those sweet times, the history within them. But the pain that the past brings keeps you from living in the present, and living in the past ruins your future.

It takes strength to walk away from bad situations.
When you know that nothing you can do will change a situation,
walking away is the best solution. You just can’t fix some things.

It takes strength to walk away from a career.
You may have invested your best years and worked your way up, but when a job has ceased being satisfying or what you’re doing is no longer fun,  it’s time to walk away.
It takes strength to walk away from what is comfortable. You need strength to walk away, and leave everything behind. It takes strength to walk away from relationships, friends, and even family. You need strength to walk away from all that you’ve ever known. It takes strength to walk away from everything that no longer serves you. You need strength to walk away from things in your life to which you find yourself too emotionally attached.
When you finally realize your worth, you’ll walk away from your past; people, habits, and choices that don’t serve you. You will realize that these things are getting in the way of your own personal growth and happiness.
Walk away from anything that taxes you mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually.
Walk away from anything that no longer makes you happy, and trust that life has better plans for you. Whenever we walk away from anything that’s not serving us, the Universe will bring us something even more wonderful.
Walking away from people and things that are no longer meant to be in our lives allows us to start making new, positive memories and to replace those people and things with better ones.
Walk away from what no longer serves you and gravitate towards the people who make you happy, the things that bring you joy, and the places that bring you peace.
Walking away shows that you are strong. Walking away has nothing to do with weakness, but everything to do with strength. Grab onto the future and walk away from the past because you deserve it.

Why You Forget What You Were Doing When You Walk Into A Room
By Katie Pratt, Ph.D.

The brain is the least understood organ in the human body: Three pounds of tightly organized and highly specialized cells that guide every thought, action, and heartbeat of your life. It is where we store memories, how we balance our checkbooks, and where we feel emotions. But every so often our brains let us down.
One particularly infuriating, if not life threatening, example of this is the well-documented phenomenon of walking into a room and forgetting why you are there. Why is it that the one organ of our body that can keep us breathing while we are sleeping seems to be unable to remind us of why we stepped into the kitchen?

This is the question that drives. 
Notre Dame scientist Gabriel Radvansky  who has spent close to 20 years trying to find the answer. Last year saw the publication of a breakthrough paper from his research team that shed some light on the problem. 
We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or find.
Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses. “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains. “Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized.”
The study was published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
Conducting three experiments in both real and virtual environments, Radvansky’s subjects – all college students – performed memory tasks while crossing a room and while exiting a doorway.

In the first experiment, subjects used a virtual environment and moved from one room to another, selecting an object on a table and exchanging it for an object at a different table. They did the same thing while simply moving across a room but not crossing through a doorway.
Radvansky found that the subjects forgot more after walking through a doorway compared to moving the same distance across a room, suggesting that the doorway or “event boundary” impedes one’s ability to retrieve thoughts or decisions made in a different room.

The second experiment in a real-world setting required subjects to conceal in boxes the objects chosen from the table and move either across a room or travel the same distance and walk through a doorway. The results in the real-world environment replicated those in the virtual world: walking through a doorway diminished subjects’ memories.

The final experiment was designed to test whether doorways actually served as event boundaries or if one’s ability to remember is linked to the environment in which a decision – in this case, the selection of an object – was created. Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context. Subjects in this leg of the study passed through several doorways, leading back to the room in which they started.
The results showed no improvements in memory, suggesting that the act of passing through a doorway serves as a way the mind files away memories.

Published in The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Radvansky used a combination of computer-based and real-world experiments to assess how people’s memories responded to changing environments. The tasks were simple: pick up an object, such as a red cube or a purple disc, from a table and carry it over to another table. The second table would either be in the same room or in another room. In the computer simulated experiment, the fifty-or-so student participants had to traverse a 55-room environment picking up and putting down variously colored and shaped objects, and every so often they were asked what they had just put down.
In a similar experiment, Radvansky used the three rooms of his lab to test the participants’ level of recall as they passed from room to room. In both types of experiments, passing through a door and into a new room resulted in an increased error rate in responding.

 That is, passing through a door seemed to make people forget what object they had just carried through it.
The underlying brain phenomenon responsible for this is what is known as an “event boundary”. Our brains compartmentalize events and tie them to the environment, or room, in which they occurred. By moving from one room to the next, the brain effectively creates a file containing all the information about the first room, and what you did there, and tucks it away. It then starts to focus on the second room. Thus, remembering what you intended to do upon leaving the first room is a lot harder than if you had simply crossed from one side of the room to the other.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Not really. You could try mumbling the task to yourself as you move from room to room, or write yourself a note on the back of your hand. Or, as Radvansky once joked, “Doorways are bad.
Avoid them at all costs.”

We have been training people how to create cognitive preparedness for such processes as “Event Boundaries” or absentmindedness as it is labeled so often. Our memory can be trained to hold such information on a tip of the finger so to speak by EPIMEMORY- The mind’s eye. All we need is a mental location to store information we call a File, a picture of the task, process, item or data needed and what we call Glue- an action of visual bonding the picture to the file until needed. One of the files we teach is a body file. The first file being your toes. So I will give you the example using that file. If you are sitting in your recliner at a commercial, decide to get a snack and walk into the kitchen only to have your phone ring distracting you.

The situation of Event Boundary loss occurs.
F P G formula is if you were going to get a sandwich, the sandwich between your toes or something even more novel or animated. When you get off of the phone then look down at your toes and the snack will remind you because of the action you visually bind it with to your toe file.
You simply must always review your file to recall the queue. It’s actually called the encoding specificity principle which says a stimulus can cause you to retrieve a memory as long as the memory is tied to a queue. The file (toes) is a queue, the picture of the sandwich is a queue, and the action you filed the sandwich to your toes with is a queue. So the beauty is one queue activates the other two. Works for our students and has me for 25 years.

“America’s Memory Guru” Memory Technologies Institute Cognitive Psychologist Harold Mangum Corporate Mnemonics Instructor, The Doorway Effect: Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room?

Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental blockage” in the brain, meaning that walking through open doors resets memory to make room for a new episode to emerge. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.
Imagine you’re sitting in front of the TV watching the replays of your favorite TV show. There’s a commercial running, so you want to change channels, but the remote control is nowhere to be found. You call your mom in the other room and she tells you that it’s lying on top of the fridge in the kitchen.
Slowly you are heading towards the kitchen, but suddenly the phone starts buzzing. You pick up the phone and check the latest news as you enter the kitchen. As soon as you are done with the phone, you look up and realize that you are in the kitchen, but for some reason you cannot find out why!

What is the Doorway Effect?
The Doorway Effect: Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room? You say to yourself: “Why did I come here? What should I do here?”
After trying to recall what was it that brought you into the kitchen, you give up and head back to the TV room without ever accomplishing your original task, i.e., fetching the remote from the kitchen.
This is a classic example of how we sometimes forget what we should do as soon as we enter a room. If you think you are the only one experiencing this, let me tell you that you are not alone. It can happen to the most brilliant people with the best memories; in fact, it happens to everyone!

It often happens that we enter a room and have absolutely no idea what we are doing there. Psychologists aptly call this phenomenon the doorway effect.
In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with numerous sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and retrieve that box of memory.
As beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex, and, as recent studies have shown, it has the ability to change over a person’s lifetime.
The idea of the plasticity of the human brain gained prominence in the late 20th century. Before that, it was believed that the brain developed during a critical period in early childhood and then remained relatively unchanged.
Human memories are episodic, as opposed to clear, linear narratives, which means that they are segmented and strongly depend on the person who makes them. For example, the way one remembers a particular incident will most likely differ from the way another person remembers exactly the same incident.

An interesting study on the doorway effect:
In a series of studies conducted by Gabriel Radvansky and his colleagues at the University of Notre Dame, it has been observed that changing rooms and walking through doors actually make us forget things.
In the first study, they recruited dozens of participants to use computer buttons to navigate a virtual reality environment depicted on a television screen, consisting of a total of 55 rooms, some large and some small.
On each table there was an item that was no longer visible as soon as it was picked up by the participant. The task of the participants was to pick up an item and take it to another table, where they were to deposit it and select a new one.
It was observed that participants’ memory performance was worse when they walked through an open door than when they walked the same distance within the same room, i.e. when they did not walk through a door.

Entering a different room sometimes makes us forget things
In the next part of the study, the researchers tested the door opening effect
on the basis of real rooms in which the participants were travelling in a real environment. Interestingly, the same observations were recorded, as it was difficult for people to remember the previous object as they walked through a door.

What is the reason for the door opener effect?
So far, there is no concrete explanation behind this phenomenon, but psychologists believe that passing through a doorway and entering a different room creates a mental block in the brain. This hypothesis is supported by a study on memory, which demonstrated that people passing through doorways experienced a ‘divide’ in their memory.
In addition, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for the emergence of a new episode. In nerd terms, this short experience of passing through a door from one room to another is called the location updating effect.

Why Do We Forget What We Were Supposed To Do After We Enter a Room?
The good news is that — experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory, intelligence, or cognitive abilities. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!



Sometimes You Have to Walk Away and Come Back Later.
We all have the kind of days where nothing goes right. Everything you try to work on takes twice as long as usual, the computer crashes before you have saved what you were writing, your Internet quits while you are updating files, etc…
Recently I spent over an hour working on a theme I was creating and got nowhere. By the end of the hour, I replaced everything I had done with the original files and it felt like a wasted hour. When I went back to that project a day or two later, everything was fine and I finished the work quickly.
I’ve gotten better at walking away and coming back to a task with a clear head and then completing but it can still be really hard to do. Here are the reasons for this:

1. My schedule may be really tight and it might not be possible to work on the project at another time.
2. I told the client that it would be completed today.
3. I might wake up super sick tomorrow. Unlikely but I do find when I put something off until later, that something unexpected like food poisoning gets in the way.
4. I am a little (a lot) obsessed with schedules. If I plan to work on something between 2pm – 3pm then I get flustered and lost focus if this doesn’t happen and find it difficult to move on to something else.

As I’ve aged, I’ve found that things out of control happen all of the time and that I am not always 100% focused when it’s necessary. So, it’s important to be more flexible. I might feel like I’m not accomplishing anything if I walk away from something that isn’t working properly but by doing so it gets resolved quickly later on and I ultimately end up saving time. In the past I would have kept working and working to find a solution and usually only ended up feeling frustrated and that wasn’t very good at my chosen profession.
At the end of the day when letting someone go that you’ve been seeing and knowing you just have to keep a clear head and mind throughout your life.
It’s important to take a break, think about something else for a while and
then come back to what you were trying to accomplish.

The solution almost always comes immediately when I do this.
How about you? Do you find this works? Are you able to walk away?
Or are you doggedly persistent? I used to be and found that I only ended
up feeling frustrated and wasting time.

Eight Consequences of Being Impatient

A positive attitude makes it easier for you to enjoy your day-to-day life. 
It allows you to enjoy restful sleep and gives you the possibility of establishing higher-quality social relationships. On the other hand, stress and anxiety can make you feel exhausted. These emotions arise when you’re impatient.

If you’ve ever needed a work report that didn’t arrive on time or made plans with a friend who arrived late, take a moment to evaluate the significance of these events. Are they worth becoming impatient over?

The psychological consequences of being impatient.

1. Impatience complicates everything.
Being impatient won’t benefit you in any way. The only thing it leads to is a sense of frustration and helplessness, seeing that you can’t do anything to improve the course of events. Additionally, these feelings will only put you in a bad mood. Impatience fuels impatience.

2. Impatience doesn’t allow you to enjoy the present.
It’s important to enjoy every moment to the fullest. In this sense, impatience doesn’t allow you to live in the present, as you can’t avoid focusing all your attention on what’s coming next.

3. Being impatient clouds your vision.
Most situations have both a positive and a negative side. For example, if you’re stuck in a traffic jam, you can use that time to listen to the radio, play music, or make a pending phone call. This will keep you distracted and help you avoid feeling as if you’re wasting time.

4. It reinforces negative emotions.
Impatience will turn you into an anxious and stressed person who tends to always see the negative side of each situation. You have to bear in mind that your personality depends on your emotions. Being impatient will lead to a negative attitude and constant complaining.

5. Being impatient affects your emotional state.
If you want to feel good about yourself, the best thing you can do is learn how to manage your emotions. Although you don’t have to eliminate impatience, you shouldn’t let it cloud your ability to think and make judgments.
How being impatient can affect your health
In addition to the consequences that being impatient has on your emotional well-being, it can also affect you physically.

6. Being impatient can lead to obesity.
Impatient people may be more prone to obesity because they’re used to spending less time eating. They tend to eat more compulsively and less orderly, consuming more food in less time.

7. High blood pressure.
Impatient people are at a higher risk of suffering from hypertension. This may be due to their high stress levels that are heightened by how overwhelmed and helpless they feel due to their impatient and anxious nature.

8. Premature aging.
Finally, impatience can also speed up the aging process. Similar to the risk of hypertension, impatience-related stress can cause premature aging.
Impatience affects the telomeres, which are structures that protect DNA from deterioration
When the telomeres are weakened, the DNA breaks down quicker and the signs of aging appear. Impatient people tend to have shorter and weaker telomeres.
In short, patience allows you to enjoy your life to the fullest. 
It also allows you to find new ways to deal with situations and enjoy those moments when it seems there’s nothing you can do but wait. In addition, being patient boosts your self-confidence and allows you to adopt a more positive and pleasant attitude. It might interest you…

The 7 Laws of Impatience
… and 10 questions to ask yourself when you’re ready to bolt.

Have you ever wanted to give up on a paper you were writing for school or had an interesting project turn frustrating when unexpected complications arose? Have you ever had to sit through plays and movies you lost interest in after the first scene? Have you ever had to wait too long to get through a line, for the computer to load, or for Christmas to roll around?

Who hasn’t? We’ve all been impatient—and we’ve all made rash decisions when impatience got the better of us. We’ve left lines that were barely moving, only to get into an even slower line. We took the pizza out of the oven two minutes early because we just couldn’t wait. Or we’ve blown up a perfectly good relationship because we weren’t sure where it was going, and couldn’t stand the uncertainty.

On the other hand, we’ve also been overly patient at times, sticking with projects, jobs, or relationships long after it made sense to do so.
Which has cost you more in your life: patience or impatience? Different people will have different answers. Ideally, we’d get it right every time. We’d let our impatience lead us when changing course made sense, and we’d stay the course when that made most sense.

Unfortunately, no one gets it right every time.
But here’s the thing: If we understand impatience better, it will give us more power to get it right more of the time. And so I present to you the seven laws of impatience:

1. Impatience is not a lack of patience.
The word impatience is “im” + “patience,” which, on its face, means “a lack of patience.” Patience seems like a substantial thing—a specific mental process. By contrast, impatience is thought to be nothing but a lack of patience. But this gets things backwards: Impatience, it turns out, is a very particular mental and physical process that gets triggered under specific circumstances, and which motivates specific kinds of decisive action.1 “Patience” is really the shadow term, signifying a lack of impatience. The patient person simply wasn’t triggered to impatience when others normally would have been, or she found a way to overcome the impatience that did arise.

Somewhere along the way, we got these states backwards: Impatience should be seen as primary, and patience should be thought of as…well, “im-impatience.”

2. Impatience is triggered when we have a goal,
and realize it’s going to cost us more than we thought to reach it.
If you sit in your room with a blank mind, you will not be impatient. You’re just there. Now, if you decide that you want to go out and do something fun, you have adopted a goal. You are not yet impatient, but you might be setting yourself up for it. Suppose you call a friend to see if she is available to do something, and she is unavailable. Now you might start to grow a little impatient. And the longer it takes to find someone to go out with, the more impatient you will become.

When a child is waiting for Christmas, she might not be impatient at first, but when she begins to realize that she can’t stop thinking about Christmas, she grows impatient. Waiting for Christmas is costing her more than she thought it would in terms of her ability to pay attention to other things in the meantime. 
You start writing a book, and you think it will take about six months. You’re on schedule, but you get an idea for an even better book. You realize that continuing to write the first book is costing you the opportunity to work on the second book. And you grow impatient.
You’re driving home and think it will take just 20 minutes to get there. But the two cars ahead of you are going 10 miles per hour below the speed limit, and they’re driving side by side in the only two lanes. You realize it’s going to take more time than you thought to get home—and you grow impatient.

3. Impatience motivates us to reduce
the costs of reaching our goal, or to switch goals.

When we realize it’s going to cost us more than we thought to get to our goal, our mental gears start spinning. We start looking for ways to avoid the additional costs in time, pain, distraction, credibility or opportunity.

Stuck in traffic, we start looking for strategic lane changing opportunities or alternate routes, or we start signaling to other drivers that we are growing impatient, so they might get out of our way.
When writing one book while dreaming of writing another, we might try to speed up work on the first, or just set it aside to work on the more interesting idea.
The child waiting for Christmas might start bargaining with her parents, asking them to let her open one of her presents early. Maybe that will calm her mind for a while.

4. Impatience and indignation are a potent combination.
Recently I was waiting at the register of a grocery store, but my line wasn’t moving while the other was speeding right along. I was impatient. But I wasn’t just impatient; I was also a little indignant. The clerk in my line wasn’t checking, but was talking with her manager, and they weren’t communicating anything to us.

So, instead of switching lines, or waiting, I made a minor show of leaving my non-purchased goods at the counter and hurried off to another store, as an immature part of my mind whispered, “This will show them.” In the end, it took longer to get my groceries than it would have in the first store, and I was late picking my daughter up from school. 
We’re in special danger of making an irrational choice when we run into unexpected costs, and we think the extra costs are someone else’s fault. If, for example, the clerk had told us that the cash register was broken, I still would have become a little impatient, but I would have simply switched lines and gotten out of there just a little behind schedule. It was the combination of impatience and indignation that made me act like a fool.

5. We’re more likely to feel impatience when we have more options.

Any project will have its dips. There will be moments when we feel on top of things and optimistic, and others when we’re not sure the project will work at all. If we have no other project to work on, we can be fairly patient and just solve the problems as they come.

If, on the other hand, we have a dozen other projects we could be working on, we’re much more likely to abandon the current one when it gets hard. If we do this every time a project gets hard, we might find ourselves with a dozen half-finished projects lying around with nothing to show for all our effort.

That’s why Cortez burned his ships when he arrived in the New World. He wanted to take the “return to Europe” option away, so that, when things got difficult, his soldiers would not grow impatient, but would solve the problems and continue the mission. Cortez had a terrible goal, but he understood the value of limiting options in pursuit of that goal.

Options are good, but having too many can be bad. Alvin Toffler called it “Overchoice” in his 1970 social critique Futureshock. Barry Schwartz calls it the “Paradox of Choice”—having too many options can make it more difficult to choose in the first place.2 And it can lead to more regret and a greater tendency to reverse course after the choice has been made.

6. Impatience can cost us.
On the one hand, impatience can cost us. If a child has no bargaining leverage, she’s going to have to just stew in her juices waiting for Christmas. An impatient highway lane change can cause a deadly accident. Blurting out your feelings before you’ve thought things through can bring a premature end to a good relationship. And switching away from projects every time they get difficult can leave you with nothing accomplished. 3

7. Impatience can benefit us.
On the other hand, impatience can serve us well at times. Impatience is in our emotional-behavioral repertoire for a reason: When hunter-gatherers spent two days pursuing game and found nothing, it was good to grow impatient.
It was good to consider the possibility that another food-acquisition strategy (gathering) might be better at that point.

Sometimes we are working on a project that’s going nowhere, and we need to accept that and start working on something else. Sometimes we are behind a slow car and there’s smooth sailing in the other lane. Sometimes we’re in a dead-end relationship and need to get out so both parties can be happier.

* Knowledge gives you power.
Here’s the exciting thing: when we understand how impatience works, we can manage it better. We can put our impatient energy to use when it’s time to speed things up or change course. And we can learn to calm our impatient energy when it makes more sense to stay the course.
The seven laws of impatience empower us to ask the right questions when we find ourselves growing impatient:

What is my goal?
1. What did I think it was going to cost to reach this goal?
2. What are the additional costs I’m now aware of?
3. Am I blaming others for these extra costs?
4. Is it truly their fault?
5. Is it worth taking on even more costs just to teach them a lesson?
6. Do I have too many options?
7. Should I find a way to limit my exposure to new options?
8. Are there ways to reduce the costs of reaching this goal?
9. Is it time to abandon this goal?
10. Is Impatience A Mood

Knowledge is power. And knowing how impatience works gives us the power to better strike the balance, so we can stay the course when it makes sense, and change course when that makes sense.

It’s been said that the ego’s primary disease is impatience.

Because it lacks patience, the ego is easily lured by quick fixes, magic bullets, shortcuts, and get-rich-quick schemes. And because the ego is forever unwilling to delay gratification, it’s compulsive, impulsive, indulgent, and anxious.

Patience is the answer to anxiety.
When things get tough, when times are trying, when a challenge feels overwhelming, when it feels like you’re not making progress fast enough, just know — impatience is the culprit and patience is the answer. When anxiety strikes, remind yourself that patience is Mother Nature’s secret.

Patience is what outlasts every obstacle. Patience is the essential ingredient in genius. Don’t be anxious; be patient… and all that is good will find you. Patience wins every battle.Fisted hand

There are those in denial who voted by Biden and are controlled by their ego. And there are those who are still very brainwashed. 🙁

The only thing the government can do about inflation is something it never wants to do about it. That is, to do a lot less about everything. The economy is driven by consumers, which require goods to consume, which require healthy workers to produce them, who if in addition have gravely sick kids cannot produce the goods which in demand drive inflation up. Macroeconomics 101.

Biden can’t get the ports unclogged, bring down inflation or stop the pandemic. But he can change the weather with money.  BS! What about all this migrant kids? EXEMPT! WTH are they doing to the American people? Something is VERY wrong!! This isn’t about Covid!

Answer for this madness Down pointing backhand index pass on https://youtu.be/hSB9iNL8Vr8
A week ago, I would think it’s crazy, but now I totally believe everything is leading to that way. It’s all about CONTROL. We will lose everything and be forced to be slave Until we all stand up now before it’s too late.

Yeah prices on everything are going through the roof but I’m concerned

that we are shooting questionable “vaccines” into out kids Face with rolling eyes

More likely “provide a lot of lawsuits”!

Amazing how, for democrats, the “solution” to all that ails the country is the vaccination. Inflation? Vax | Border? Vax High fuel costs? Vax | High food costs? Vax I think the solution to all that ails this country is to get rid of all the socialists & communists.

Omg, these people are disgusting! A year ago kids had very little to do with Covid, passing or spreading it, getting sick from it, now they want to jab your kids too! Do NOT COMPLY! DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS BE THEIR PIN CUSHION OR LAB RATS!! THERE ARE NO STUDIES SHOWING THE SHORT OR LONG TERM AFFECTS!!

Young Athletes Dropping Everywhere

The ‘Age’ column which are BOLDED indicates that the individual is now deceased. Why this site?

According to all-cause mortality statistics, the number of Americans who died between January 2021 and August 2021 is 16% higher than in 2018 (the pre-COVID year with the highest all-cause mortality) and 18% higher than the average death rate between 2015 and 2019. Did COVID-19 raise the death toll despite mass vaccination? or are people dying at increased rates from another cause?
 
This page is an attempt to document some of the unusual health-related deaths and injuries in 2021, for mostly young competitive athletes, and others contracting or dying of premature cardiac arrest, blood clots, stroke etc.

Why only these groups of people? Unfortunately these individuals are more prominently deemed newsworthy and have reached the media with some exposure. This amount of injuries are an unprecedented circumstance – it is decidedly abnormal. Even ‘once in a while’ is one reason why it has some prominence in being reported and has ‘find-ability’ via Internet searching. We will try to add more as they surface – time permitting.

What Is Fascism?

BREAKING: Joe Biden just blocked new oil and gas leases in New Mexico.  

They want gas prices to keep rising to force Americans to switch to alternative energy. Even the liberal centers of New Mexico came out supporting new energy leases because the state needs the jobs.

 Do I not recall that long ago sleepy Joe was begging OPEC to send more crude to the US.

So Joey wants to halt crude production in America but wants to rely on OPEC.

We have a good supply in Canada, just have to build Keystone Thumbs up  


They seem determined to destroy this country. Particularly the middle class.

They also seem to want to give NM to Republicans.Thinking faceFace with rolling eyes

It’s unbelievable that the GOP does nothing here. Face with symbols over mouth  

Governor Wuhan Lujan is an establishment Dem, but the state wants to work.  
Since when is it the job of the government to leverage its power to put an entire industry out of business?

I was considering getting an electric hybrid vehicle, they make some nice ones now, now I absolutely will not.  Unless they’re giving those cars away no one in the middle class can afford them!!!!

Somethings really wrong HERE!!!!! 
You really need new infrastructure in place before you shut off the existing.
Great news! It will help seal the Democrats’ coffins in the next elections!
BIDEN Is a REAL dope who hates the American middle class and the poor.

Or, he’s a really really a stupid puppet.  
This is part of the plan. Eliminate fossil fuel. Cause crime to get out of control. Then implement Martial law, suspend the constitution and the great reset is open for business.

Martial law has been declared more than 60 times in U.S. history, mostly by state and local officials. However, the concept has no established definition. The limited Supreme Court precedent on martial law is old, vague, and inconsistent. No federal statute defines what the term actually means. As a result, the exact scope and limits of martial law are dangerously unclear. Congress and state legislatures must enact new laws that better define them.

What is martial law?
In the United States, martial law usually refers to a power, in an emergency, allows the military to take the place of the civilian government and exercise jurisdiction over civilians in a particular area. But “martial law” has no established definition, because across history, different people have used the term to describe a wide variety of actions, practices, or roles for the military. The law governing it is complicated and unsettled — and, as a result, the concept has never been well understood.

Can the U.S. president declare martial law?
The Supreme Court has never clearly stated whether the federal government has the power to declare martial law, and if so, whether the president could unilaterally declare it or whether it would require congressional authorization. But the Supreme Court’s 1952 ruling in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company v. Sawyer provides a framework for analyzing exercises of executive power — and would likely be used by a court to determine whether a president’s martial law declaration has exceeded executive authority.

According to Youngstown:
when Congress has addressed an issue by passing a statute, the president cannot act against Congress’s will — as expressed in the statute — unless the Constitution gives the president “conclusive and preclusive” power over that issue. When it comes to domestic deployment of the military, Congress has expressed its will in two ways. First, it has enacted a wide variety of laws that regulate when and where the military may be used domestically.
These laws are so comprehensive that Congress has “occupied the field,” meaning that if the president were to use the military domestically in a way that Congress has not affirmatively authorized (such as by declaring martial law), it would effectively be against Congress’s will. Second, and more specifically, the Posse Comitatus Act makes it illegal for federal military forces to participate in civilian law enforcement activities — the exact sort of activities that are associated with martial law — unless Congress has provided express authorization.

In short, Congress has placed clear and wide-ranging restrictions on the president’s ability to use the military domestically. A presidential declaration
of martial law would violate these rules. The Constitution does not grant the president “conclusive and preclusive” power over the issue of domestic military deployment. On the contrary, it gives most of the relevant authority to Congress. Therefore, under Youngstown, the president would not have the constitutional authority to override the restrictions Congress has put in place, and a unilateral declaration of martial law would not survive a legal challenge.

What has Congress said about martial law?
There are no existing federal statutes that authorize the president to declare martial law. However, while Congress has passed a multitude of laws related
to domestic military deployment, these laws do not only create restrictions. Congress has also given the president considerable authority to use troops domestically in ways short of martial law. The Insurrection Act, and potentially Title 32 as well, allow the president to deploy the military to assist civilian authorities with law enforcement activities virtually whenever and wherever the president chooses. In some scenarios, a deployment of troops under these statutes might appear similar to a declaration of martial law. These ambiguities and the breadth of the president’s statutory authority point to the need for Congress to pass legislation that better defines the scope and limits of presidential powers — both for martial law and for other domestic uses of the military.

Does the Constitution apply under martial law?
Yes. The federal government is bound at all times by the Constitution. Even under martial law, the government cannot suspend or violate constitutional rights. Additionally, martial law declarations are subject to judicial review.
For example, if the federal government places a state or territory under martial law, individuals detained by the military can ask a federal court to order their release by petitioning for the writ of habeas corpus. Subsequently, if a court considers the petition, it can decide whether the declaration of martial law was constitutional in the first place.

Can states declare martial law?
The Supreme Court has held that individual states have the power to declare martial law — and such a declaration is valid simply if it is authorized by the constitution or laws of the state. States have declared martial law far more frequently than the federal government. However, even under martial law, state officials are bound both by the U.S. Constitution and by federal laws. Additionally, individuals can challenge a state declaration of martial law by seeking injunctive relief in federal court — and if they are detained, they can petition for the writ of habeas corpus.

Fascism Explained: World History Review.

Fascism is one of the worst things we ever did.
It seems to have gone away, at least in many countries. But there is a permanent danger that it will come back. To stop that from happening,
we need to understand the causes. When we see the causes happening,
we need to act before it’s too late.

People don’t like to use the word fascism.  
 Fascism means you are to be met with violence for not accepting and endorsing and conducting violence — and nobody, my friends, is given a pardon or an exemption in this grotesque war against civilization,
freedom, and decency.
  
There is no simple definition of fascism.
 It’s a movement anchored to the cult of the strong leader that
sees nation as more important than class. It toys with the rhetoric of revolution. It mobilizes the masses, but its aim is to install a dictatorship that ultimately subjects everyone—of every class, race and gender—to its rule.

What Is Fascism?

Fascism is a difficult word to define. We know it when we see it, but no one ever has a satisfying definition. In the 30s and 40s, it brought totalitarianism, war, and genocide. So today, let’s talk about how this idea took hold, grew to prominence, and just how much support it had. Ideologies have made a massive impact on humanity, learn about a few of them with this series:

Joel Baden: The Bible Doesn’t Say What You Think it Does – YouTube  
Joel Baden (Professor of Hebrew Bible Yale University) spoke at the 2013 Nantucket Project.

Nearly 80 percent of all Americans think the Bible is either literally true or is the inspired word of God. And yet, most Americans have no idea what is actually in the Bible. So we have the paradoxical situation in which we as a culture “have invested the words of this book with amazing authority even when we don’t know what these words are and what they mean.” 

 The Nantucket Project is one of the world’s great gatherings.
Each year hosting preeminent thinkers, leaders & innovators in a wide
range of fields. We focus on the intersection of art and commerce – one fueled by passion, the other by reason. In every organization – whether it’s a business, a philanthropy or a creative endeavor – those two forces jostle to achieve the right balance. In the process, values are determined. We believe TNP is the only event of its kind that rigorously examines those values.

Climate Change

Tracking Climate Extremes Around The World In 2019 | NBC News NOW.

Republicans are ecstatic that Biden is struggling with inflation.

Biden Set to Auction Off Over 80 Million Acres to Oil & Gas Drilling Co.
Honestly, I don’t know why I deprive myself of anything in the name of green activity. I will admit, I’m not the biggest green warrior in the world. I’d keep my house temperature hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter. I’d don’t watch much television, and also, try & manage my homes heating/coolness by opening/closing shades with the movement of the sun; nothing too extravagant but it makes me feel better about myself.

All that while we have Richard Branson’s and Jeff “Lex Luthor” Bezos space ride for nothing other than ego stroking. Every other week. . .there’s some new shitcoin popping up that serves absolutely no real purpose — it doesn’t provide any value to the world, only investors. Politicians (Obama’s 15 million beach house) are using the actual examples of climate crisis to prop up fossil fuel industries, pointing to the (fake, manageable, or have equivalent issues in the fossil energy realm) problems in green energy as the cause of the climate crisis. People are brainwashed that even though we KEEP setting “hottest & coldest month” or “hottest & coldest day” records they will fully think climate change
is a thing.

I’m not saying I don’t believe combating climate change is a worthwhile effort, I just don’t see how one person (or a relatively small group) putting themselves out when no one else will. Paraphrasing here but I heard a metaphor story, about a man running from a tiger, he comes to a cliff and leaps off to grab a vine. There’s the tiger above him and tiger below him, and despite the vine about to snap, he focuses on the flower Infront of him and admires the beauty. Both tigers represent life and death, and the vine is the life in-between. Yes it sucks, the future looks bleak. The best to do now is enjoy what you can, because if I spend the next few years in a state of constant fear and dread, I could have had at least a few more years of enjoyment.

What kind of psychotherapy do you think is the most suitable for dealing with collapse-related feelings?

Please, mostly answers based on experience (ie. “I’ve been taking this type 
and it has helped me enormously dealing with anxiety, depression, anhedonia, etc…” kind of answers). If you want to share not based on experience, please provide a reliable source (studies) proving that the therapy you suggest is a good option to cope with it. EDIT: I’ve found BetterHelp Tackling complex problems requires a comprehensive approach. Stand Together serves as the backbone of these efforts. Has anyone heard of them? Thanks.

CO2 Makes Up Just 0.04% of Earth’s Atmosphere.
Here’s Why Its Impact Is So Massive.

Reader Question: I heard that carbon dioxide makes up 0.04 percent of the world’s atmosphere. Not 0.4 percent or 4 percent, but 0.04 percent! How can it be so important in global warming if it’s such a small percentage?

Answer: I am often asked how carbon dioxide can have an important effect on global climate when its concentration is so small – just 0.041 percent of Earth’s atmosphere. And human activities are responsible for just 32 percent of that amount.

I study the importance of atmospheric gases for air pollution and climate change. The key to carbon dioxide’s strong influence on climate is its ability
to absorb heat emitted from our planet’s surface, keeping it from escaping
out to space.

The Saga of Eunice Foote and John Tyndall (rolandjackson.co.uk)

image.png

Early Greenhouse Science:
The scientists who first identified carbon dioxide’s importance for climate
in the 1850s were also surprised by its influence. Working separately, John Tyndall in England and Eunice Foote in the United States found that carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane all absorbed heat, while more abundant gases did not. Scientists had already calculated that the Earth was — about
59° Fahrenheit (33° Celsius) warmer than it should be, given the amount of sunlight reaching its surface. 

The best explanation for that discrepancy was that the atmosphere retained heat to warm the planet. Tyndall and Foote showed that nitrogen and oxygen, which together account for 99 percent of the atmosphere, had essentially no influence on Earth’s temperature because they did not absorb heat.

Rather, they found that gases present in much smaller concentrations
were entirely responsible for maintaining temperatures that made the
Earth habitable, by trapping heat to create a natural greenhouse effect.

A Blanket in the Atmosphere:
Earth constantly receives energy from the Sun and radiates it back into space. For the planet’s temperature to remain constant, the net heat it receives from the Sun must be balanced by outgoing heat that it gives off. Since the Sun is hot, it gives off energy in the form of shortwave radiation at mainly ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. Earth is much cooler, so it emits heat as infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths.
Carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases have molecular structures
that enable them to absorb infrared radiation. The bonds between atoms in a molecule can vibrate in particular ways, like the pitch of a piano string. When the energy of a photon corresponds to the frequency of the molecule, it is absorbed and its energy transfers to the molecule.

Carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases have three or more atoms
and frequencies that correspond to infrared radiation emitted by Earth

Oxygen and nitrogen, with just two atoms in their molecules, do not absorb infrared radiation. Most incoming shortwave radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere without being absorbed. But most outgoing infrared radiation is absorbed by heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. Then they can release, or re-radiate, that heat. Some return to Earth’s surface, keeping it warmer than it would be otherwise.

Solar radiation (yellow) and radiating heat (red) interacting with Earth. (NASA)
Solar radiation (yellow) and radiating heat (red) interacting with Earth. (NASA) Research on heat transmission

During the Cold War, the absorption of infrared radiation by many different gases was studied extensively. The work was led by the US Air Force, which was developing heat-seeking missiles and needed to understand how to detect heat passing through air.
This research enabled scientists to understand the climate and atmospheric composition of all planets in the Solar System by observing their infrared signatures.  For example, Venus is about 870 F (470 C) because its thick atmosphere is 96.5 percent carbon dioxide.
It also informs weather forecasts and climate models, allowing them to quantify how much infrared radiation is retained in the atmosphere and returned to Earth’s surface. People sometimes ask me why carbon dioxide is important for climate, given that water vapor absorbs more infrared radiation and the two gases absorb at several of the same wavelengths.
The reason is that Earth’s upper atmosphere controls the radiation that escapes to space. The upper atmosphere is much less dense and contains much less water vapor than near the ground, Which means that adding more carbon dioxide significantly influences how much infrared radiation escapes to space. Observing the greenhouse effect. Have you ever noticed that deserts are often colder at night than forests, even if their average temperatures are the same? 

Without much water vapor in the atmosphere over deserts, the radiation they give off escapes readily to space. In more humid regions radiation from the surface is trapped by water vapor in the air. Similarly, cloudy nights tend to be warmer than clear nights because more water vapor is present. The influence of carbon dioxide can be seen in past changes in climate. Ice cores from over the past million years have shown that carbon dioxide concentrations were high during warm periods – about 0.028 percent.
During ice ages, when Earth was roughly 7 to 13 F (4-7 C) cooler than in the 20th century, carbon dioxide made up only about 0.018 percent of the atmosphere. Even though water vapor is more important for the natural greenhouse effect, changes in carbon dioxide have driven past temperature changes. In contrast, water vapor levels in the atmosphere respond to temperature.
As Earth becomes warmer, its atmosphere can hold more water vapor, which amplifies the initial warming in a process called the “water vapor feedback.” Variations in carbon dioxide have therefore been the controlling influence on past climate changes.

Small change, big effects
It shouldn’t be surprising that a small amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can have a big effect. We take pills that are a tiny fraction of our body mass and expect them to affect us. Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history.
Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.
Without action to control emissions, carbon dioxide might reach 0.1 percent
of the atmosphere by 2100, more than triple the level before the Industrial Revolution. This would be a faster change than transitions in Earth’s past 
that had huge consequences.
Without action, this little sliver of the atmosphere will cause big problems.

Alan Jones copped an absolute roasting on tonight’s episode of Q&A — despite not even being on the panel. The radio shock jock was slammed by a panel of science experts for downplaying human impact on climate change, after he said we only contribute three per cent to greenhouse gas emissions during his own Q&A appearance last month.
“I saw the radio commentator Alan Jones on TV recently, and he said that 0.04 per cent of the world’s atmosphere is CO2,” the questioner said. “‘Three per cent of that human beings create around the world, and of that, 1.3 per cent is created by Australians’. Is that correct, and if so, is human activity really making a difference?”
Professor David Karoly, an Australian atmospheric scientist based at CSIRO, bluntly responded: “Not everything Jones says is factually accurate.” Prof Karoly said that, while it’s correct that 0.04 per cent of the world’s atmosphere is carbon dioxide, Jones’ statistics around humans causing climate change — and the role Australians specifically play — is completely false.

“I am a climate scientist, and Alan Jones is wrong. The reason he’s wrong is because we know that yes, the greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere is 400 parts per million … and that corresponds to about 0.04 per cent. “All his other numbers were wrong. We know that carbon dioxide concentration 100 years ago was about 280 parts per million, or 0.028 per cent, but it’s grown 120 parts per million — or about 40 per cent — and that 40 per cent increase is due to human activity. We know that for absolute certainty.
In other words, Prof Karoly was saying we’ve technically increased greenhouse gases by 40 per cent, not the three per cent figure Jones used. The scientist also slammed the radio host for implying that Australians contribute a negligible amount to global warming.

“Australians have contributed about 1.5 per cent. Now that sounds like a small amount, but Australia only makes up 0.3 per cent of the population, and we’re contributing 1.5 percent of greenhouse gases,” said Prof Karoly. “So is it fair that 0.3 per cent of the global population has contributed 1.5 per cent? We’ve contributed much more than our fair share.”
Astrobiologist and Geologist Martin Van Kranendonk questioned why Jones was commenting on climate science in the first place. “If your car wasn’t doing well, would you take it to a butcher? No, you’d take it to a mechanic. For the source of data on scientific matters I personally wouldn’t go to Alan Jones.
I’d look for the best-known sources for that material, and people I trust. I think that would be true for everyone.”

“There’s this perception that scientists are out there doing nefarious little tricks in a dark alley and concocting these models for fame and fortune and glory and money, and that’s not at all how science works,” he went on. “All the people that I know in science are passionate about understanding the natural world.” During his Q&A appearance in May, Jones questioned why climate change was a key issue in Australia

“What is climate change? … Young people are highly intelligent. 
They have many platforms from which they can (glean) their information and knowledge. I wonder whether they’re being told all the facts in relation to this.”
Particle physicist Brian Cox  said people think the climate is overly “simple”, which is a big part of the problem. “But actually, the climate is extremely complicated. These models are very, very complicated and constantly evolving. “I think many people assume you can just work out what the climate’s going to do, like it’s common sense. 

But it’s actually a very complex system.”
So if you take .04 per cent, the CO2 proportion of all gases in the atmosphere, divide that by 3 per cent, the proportion of CO2 that human beings are responsible for, you get the figure of .001 per cent of all gases in the atmosphere produced by human beings.
This is wrong. The percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is roughly 0.0397%. The percentage at the beginning of the industrial revolution was 0.0280%. 
Humans are thus responsible for an increase of 0.0117% out of all the gases in the atmosphere. The level of CO2 in the atmosphere was less than 0.0300% for about 20 million years. Also, if you really want to be nitpicky and since we’re using the completely useless measurement of “all gases in the atmosphere”,
The level of Oxygen would have decreased because it is used in the production of CO2. Furthermore, it is misleading, because the total percentage of the most abundant greenhouse gas, Carbon dioxide, that humans are responsible for, has increased by about 40%. Alan Jones quoted in his “apology” a figure of 3%, when in fact 40% is the case, and that figure of 40% is increasing virtually every year.

These wrong and misleading facts were repeated again, later on:
I explained how the figure that was used in the broadcast came to pass, just
as I’ve explained to you now, .04 percent of all the gases in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, 3 per cent of that .04 percent is created by human beings, so the proportion of CO2 that human beings are responsible for of all gases in the atmosphere is .001 per cent.
Again, human beings have been responsible for a rise from about 0.028% to 0.04% in atmospheric concentration, and more is yet to come as we continue to emit carbon dioxide. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing over the past decade at about 2 ppm/yr. 
This implies, over the next 30 years, an increase of 20% above the pre-industrial revolution era for a total of nearly 60%. It is true that 3%, near enough, is the total percentage of carbon dioxide that humans emit out of the total percentage of carbon dioxide emissions at any given point in time.
It is also the case that about 57% of this is absorbed by natural sinks.
What our emissions have done is to upset a global balance that had been in place for 20 million years, and it is a folly to suggest that nature will be able to correct this problem by itself in any of our lifetimes, while the concentration of carbon dioxide increases nor with no consequences on the biosphere.

Out of nations with more than two million residents:
 Australia is the 3rd largest producer of carbon dioxide per capita,
after Kuwait and the UAE, ahead of both the United States and Saudi Arabia.
It falls on Australia to be responsible, and factually incorrect and misleading statements by Alan Jones, broadcast and disseminated by his audience, and given the political influence he leads, severely harm the ability for Australia to be responsible for the Earth’s future.

And all these things are facts.
In summary, Alan Jones’ “apology” was factually incorrect and misleading
on the most important matter and thus insufficient action must be taken by
the responsible authorities that demanded this “apology” in the 1st instance.

.04 per cent, the CO2 proportion of all gases in the atmosphere, divide that
by 3 per cent. Assuming that by ‘.04 percent’ Jones means 0.04 rather than 0.0004: 0.04 divided by 0.03 equals 1.3333…… As a side note, many people offhand say ‘divide by half’ when they actually mean ‘divide by two’. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by two, and dividing by two is the same as multiplying by half.

Wait, am I missing something? 
Your claimed time period is 20,000,000 (20 million) years,
but the graph you referenced only shows 400,000 of those years?

Live Your Truth

January Jones Isn’t Here for Cookie-Cutter Self-Care Routines.

For January Jones It’s About Being Genuinely True to Yourself.

Genuinely. That’s the word that springs to mind when talking to January Jones. “I feel comfortable in my skin,” says the actor, 43.
“Public opinion doesn’t matter to me. Yesterday I went to a birthday party
with my son, and I wore humongous red sweatpants because I had my period. My sister said, ‘Are you actually wearing those out?’ I thought about it for a moment, but I still wore them. Who cares? They’re my period pants!”

January has always done things her own way.
Take her workouts: She doesn’t spend hours in the gym. “My dad was a trainer, so in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t work out, because he was always pushing my sisters, my mom, and me to exercise. We would rebel and not do it,” she says. “It’s not that I wasn’t active. As kids, my two sisters were runners, I played tennis, and we all swam. But on a regular basis I wouldn’t work out, ever. Even when I was filming X-Men and they had trainers for all of us, I would lie and say I was exercising in my hotel room, when actually I was watching Friends and having full tea service.” (For the record, last year January found a workout she loves—more about that later.)

It makes sense, then, that the star often plays strong-willed women on-screen. From scene-stealing Betty Draper on Mad Men to Carol Baker, the troubled single mom in the new Netflix figure skating drama Spinning Out, January brings depth and nuance to complicated characters.
Her favorite role, however, is that of mom to Xander, 8. “Being a mother is definitely the best,” January says. “And then there’s balancing motherhood with the other thing I love, which is my work. Some days obviously are easier than others, but I feel as if I’m able to do both fairly well.”

Here’s how she does the juggle—on her own terms.

I Celebrate My Body.
“After I had my son, Xander, I wanted to feel strong because my body had changed so much. As he got bigger and I was hauling around a 20- or 30-pound toddler, my lower back gave out and I saw my shoulders starting to
curl & hunch. I wanted to do something for my posture and core strength.
Two or three years ago I started doing barre classes, and after that I took regular private Pilates lessons. Then a friend told me about Lagree Pilates.
I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle. I’ve gone up a size in clothes,
but I feel like I look better naked.

“Being strong is important as you get older. I want to look and feel as young as I possibly can.”

I Stick to a Workout that Motivates Me.
“Lagree is quite difficult, but I’ve found that it’s the only thing that really
makes me feel stronger, and I’m loving it.
The music is good and there’s always a different routine, so it doesn’t get boring. There are 10 of us in the class, and I like having women on both sides
of me to push me. When I did the private Pilates lessons a couple of years ago,
I just saw myself getting lazy with it because there wasn’t that drive for competition. For me, that’s what’s motivating. If there’s someone strong next to me, I definitely want to up my game. I find myself looking forward to it more than I’ve ever looked forward to a workout.”

I Eat What I’m Hungry for!
“I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want something—steak, a bagel—
I’ll eat it. There’s no diet or strict set of rules. Last winter, I started drinking celery juice every day, and I’ve seen amazing results in my energy, digestion, skin and how I sleep. I have that in the morning, then I take my vitamins and drink coffee. I don’t get hungry until around 10 a.m., but since I usually do Lagree at 9:30, I’ll make myself eat a banana beforehand so I don’t get too shaky. Then I have a MacroBar afterward and eat lunch around 11:30—usually salad, soup, or a sandwich. (Whether you’re doing a low-impact yoga class or HIIT workout in the a.m., here’s what you should eat beforehand.)

“I love to cook for my son and me. For dinner, we like salmon with French fries, and we make pasta frequently. We try to have lots of green veggies.
We eat organic because I worry a lot about that for my kid. No antibiotics or hormones in meats is really important to me, and so is eating sustainable fish.
I don’t want to be that annoying person in the restaurant who’s like,
‘Where’s this fish from?’ But I do it anyway.”

Cleaning Keeps Me Sane
“I love rituals. My skin-care regimen is my favorite thing to do. In the morning I exfoliate, then I apply a serum and a cream. At night I have different serums and products that I use, and they’re all lined up in order. My skin-care routine is my only way to have a little control over my life.

“I’m a very organized person.”
I feel sane and calm when I know everything is in its place. I always have a list for the day. When I get to check something off, it’s the best thing ever. At work, when they say action, I can become someone else and be crazy and messy and erratic, and that feels amazing and therapeutic. But at home, the domestic aspect of my life is very important to feeling balanced. I love doing laundry.

“My hair and makeup people always joke because I’ll be all made up and dressed in a gown, and then I’ll take out the garbage or make a lap with the Swiffer or turn on the dishwasher. And they’re like, ‘What are you doing?’
And I say, ‘Well, I need all these things done. No one else is going to do it.’
They said we should do a photoshoot with me in couture taking out the
garbage that embodies the two halves of me right there.”

I Fight for the Issues that Are Important to Me.

The Barbaric World Of Shark Finning | Real Wild Documentary
“I’ve always been fascinated by sharks. When I was in my 20s, I saw a shark fin documentary and I was appalled by how it was depleting the shark population. I made a promise to myself then and there that if I ever got to a place in my career where my voice would matter, that would be the thing I stood up for. Around 2008, I met with the ocean-conservation group Oceana, and they were amazing. I’ve been on several trips with them to swim with sharks, and I’ve gone to D.C. to get bills passed to ban shark finning. To have a small hand in helping with that makes me very proud. 

“I am currently also in talks to work with a nonprofit group called DeliverFund that’s fighting to stop child trafficking. They are doing great things, and I urge people to check them out at deliverfund.org. Trafficking is a huge problem in this country, and I really want to help bring awareness to the issue.”

How does she stay so fit?
Read on to see the seven ways January Jones stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don’t miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Has Done Pilates.
“Two or three years ago I started doing barre classes, and after that I took regular private Pilates lessons,” January previously told Shape. “I wanted to
do something for my posture and core strength.” She’s into Lagree Pilates.
“I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle,” January said.
“I’ve gone up a size in clothes, but I feel like I look better…there are 10 of us
in the class, and I like having women on both sides of me to push me.” She also told OK! magazine that “it’s quite difficult, but I’ve found that it’s the only thing that really makes me feel stronger, and I’m loving it.”

2. Barre Can Work For You, Too.
“No other workout combines grace and athleticism like barre, and this is
why so many women love it,” says Andrea Rogers, creator of the Xtend Barre workout, on Openfit. “By combining traditional Pilates methods with ballet and high-energy cardio, the workout is designed to sculpt bodies into lean, toned, dancer-like physiques.”

3. She Does Yoga
“Practicing slow, controlled breathing stimulates the body’s valgus nerve,  which takes information about the current state of relaxation and relays it to the rest of the body, including the brain. One area affected when the valgus nerve is stimulated is the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the body’s rest and digestion functions. The mindful breathing practiced in yoga increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system. As a result, yoga lowers the heart rate, improves digestion and quality of sleep, and strengthens the immune system. Another benefit is an improved stress level,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Eats Organic
“We eat organic at home,” she told OK!. “No antibiotics or hormones in meat
is really important to me, and so is eating sustainable fish,” she said. “I don’t want to be that annoying person in the restaurant who’s like, ‘Where’s the fish from?’ But I do it anyway!”

5. She Eats What She’s Hungry For!
“I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want something—steak, a bagel—
I’ll eat it anyway.” There’s no diet or strict set of rules. “Last winter, I started drinking celery juice every day, and I’ve seen amazing results in my energy, digestion, skin and how I sleep. I have that in the morning.
Then I take my vitamins and drink coffee. I don’t get hungry until around 10 a.m., however, since I usually do Lagree at 9:30, I’ll make myself eat a banana beforehand, so I don’t get too shaky. Then I have a MacroBar afterward and eat lunch around 11:30—usually salad, soup, or a sandwich.”

6. She Wasn’t Always Into Workouts
“My dad was a trainer, so in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t work out, because he was always pushing my sisters, my mom, and me to exercise. We would rebel and not do it,” she told Shape. “It’s not that I wasn’t active. As kids, my two sisters were runners, I played tennis, and we all swam on a regular basis. I wouldn’t work out, ever. Even when I was filming X-Men and they had trainers for all of us, I would lie and say I was exercising in my hotel room, when actually I was watching Friends and having full tea service.”

7. Organization is Key to Successful Living.
“I’m a very organized person. I feel sane and calm when I know everything is
in its place. I always have a list for the day. When I get to check something off, it’s the best thing ever.
At work, when they say action, I can become someone else and be crazy and messy and erratic, and that feels amazing and therapeutic. But at home, the domestic aspect of my life is very important to feeling balanced. I love doing laundry, she told Shape.”

How to Eat Your Favorite Food… in Moderation.
Now you can say, “just have a cookie every once in a while.” But it’s not so easy.
Sure, Oprah is apparently eating bread every day, but some people have a much harder time practicing moderation. Sugars and carbs are addictive and for some people, and one taste can set off terrible cravings and a desire to overeat. To be clear, this desire to overeat doesn’t happen to everyone.
Many can happily eat in moderation and never wake up in a bed full of crumbs next to a mysteriously empty box of cookies. But when you’ve been dieting or obsessing over your weight, you tend to have more extreme reactions to food. Still, no matter how much of an all-or-nothing person you are, you can still find ways to moderate.

“I am a big fan of healthy hacking,” says Sarah Greenfield, a registered dietitian nutritionist. . “By making your favorite dishes at home, you have control over what goes in them and can incorporate healthier ingredients.”
Another good way to avoid boredom eating is to enjoy your go-to foods with friends. “Have the food at a party or social gathering where you may not be triggered to eat as much of it as you might at home alone or bored,” says  Carrie Gabriel, registered dietitian. At a party, there’s a finite amount of food, so you can’t go too crazy. Plus, you won’t have any leftovers in your house to haunt you for days to come.

If you are at a real risk for binge eating or you’re on day seven of “I’ll start my diet tomorrow,” Rogers has an easy solution: stop, drop, and roll. “Each new bite is an opportunity to steer yourself away from sabotaging behavior,” says Rogers. “You gotta ‘stop’ before your next bite, ‘drop’ by putting the food away or throwing your napkin on your plate, and ‘roll’ by either leaving the scene entirely or distracting yourself with a task.” Rogers isn’t saying that you can  never eat the things you love, but it’s a good solution for when you feel like things are getting out of hand.

How many favorite things do you have in your life?
Foods are probably an important part of it. No matter how strictly you think you need to eat to reach your health goals, you don’t need to cut out what you love. If anything, we should all enjoy more of what we love in life. As long as you add a pinch of moderation, you don’t have to throw your favorite food out of your life. Because guess what?

Brightest States

According to the American philosopher John Dewey,
democracy is the most desirable form of government.

Because it provides the kinds of freedom necessary for individual self-development and growth—including the freedom to exchange ideas and opinions with others.

John Dewey, (born October 20, 1859, Burlington, Vermont, U.S.—died
June 1, 1952, New York, New York), American philosopher and educator
who was a cofounder of the philosophical movement known as pragmatism,
a pioneer in functional psychology, an also innovative theorist of democracy, and a leader of the progressive movement in education in the United States.

Dewey graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Vermont 
in 1879. After receiving a doctorate in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University in 1884, he began teaching philosophy and psychology at the University of Michigan. There his interests gradually shifted from the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel to the new experimental psychology being advanced in the United States by G. Stanley Hall and the pragmatist philosopher and psychologist William James.
Further study of child psychology prompted Dewey to develop a philosophy of education that would meet the needs of a changing democratic society. In 1894 he joined the faculty of philosophy at the University of Chicago, where he further developed his progressive pedagogy in the university’s Laboratory Schools.
In 1904 Dewey left Chicago for Columbia University in New York City, where he spent the majority of his career and wrote his most famous philosophical work, Experience and Nature (1925). His subsequent writing, which included articles in popular periodicals, treated topics in aesthetics, politics & religion. The common theme underlying Dewey’s philosophy was his belief that a democratic society of informed and engaged inquirers was the best means of promoting human interests.

Being, nature, and experience.
In order to develop and articulate his philosophical system, Dewey first needed to expose what he regarded as the flaws of the existing tradition. He believed that the distinguishing feature of Western philosophy was its assumption that true being—that which is fully real or fully knowable—is changeless, perfect, and eternal and the source of whatever reality the world of experience may possess. Plato’s forms (abstract entities corresponding to the properties of particular things) and the Christian conception of God were two examples of such a static, pure, and transcendent being, compared with which anything that undergoes change is imperfect and less real.
According to one modern version of the assumption, developed by the 17th-century philosopher René Descartes, all experience is subjective, an exclusively mental phenomenon that cannot provide evidence of the existence or the nature of the physical world, the “matter” of which is ultimately nothing more than changeless extension in motion. The Western tradition thus made a radical distinction between true reality on the one hand and the endless varieties and variations of worldly human experience on the other.
Dewey held that this philosophy of nature was drastically impoverished. Rejecting any dualism between being and experience, he proposed that all things are subject to change and do change. There is no static being, and there is no changeless nature. Nor is experience purely subjective, because the human mind is itself part and parcel of nature. Human experiences are the outcomes of a range of interacting processes and are thus worldly events. The challenge to human life, therefore, is to determine how to live well with processes of change, not somehow to transcend them.

Dewey developed a metaphysics that examined characteristics of nature that encompassed human experience but were either ignored by or misrepresented by more traditional philosophers. Three such characteristics—what he called the “precarious,” “histories,” and “ends”—were central to his philosophical project.

The precarious.
For Dewey, a precarious event is one that somehow makes ongoing experience problematic; thus, any obstacle, disruption, danger, or surprise of any kind is precarious. As noted earlier, because humanity is a part of nature, all things that humans encounter in their daily experience, including other humans and the social institutions they inhabit, are natural events. The arbitrary cruelty of a tyrant or the kindness shown by a stranger is as natural and precarious as the destruction wrought by a flood or the vibrant color’s of a sunset. Human ideas and moral norms must also be viewed in this way. Human knowledge is wholly intertwined with precarious, constantly changing nature.

Histories
The constancy of change does not imply a complete lack of continuity with the past stages of natural processes. What Dewey meant by a history was a process of change with an identifiable outcome. When the constituent processes of a history are identified, they become subject to modification, and their outcome can be deliberately varied and secured. Dewey’s conception of a history has an obvious implication for humanity: no person’s fate is sealed by an antecedently given human nature, temperament, character, talent, or social role. This is why Dewey was so concerned with developing a philosophy of education. With an appropriate knowledge of the conditions necessary for human growth, an individual may develop in any of a variety of ways. The object of education is thus to promote the fruition of an active history of a specific kind—a human history.

Ends and goods.
Since at least the time of Aristotle (384–322 BCE), many Western philosophers have made use of the notion of end, or final cause—i.e., a cause conceived of as a natural purpose or goal (see teleology). In ethics, ends are the natural or consciously determined goals of moral actions; they are moral absolutes, such as happiness or “the good,” that human actions are designed to bring about. But such ends must be discerned before they can be fully attained. For Dewey, on the other hand, an end is a deliberately constructed outcome of a history. Hence, his expression “the construction of good” encapsulates much of the significance of his philosophy. A person confronted by a spontaneous intrusion of the precarious world into the seemingly steady course of his life will identify and analyze the constituents of his particular situation and then consider what changes he might introduce in order to produce, in Dewey’s parlance, a “consummatory” end. Such an end is a fulfillment of these particular conditions, and it is unique to them. Similarly, there is no such thing as an absolute good against which actions may be evaluated; rather, any constructed end that promotes human flourishing while taking into account the precarious is a good.

Instrumentalism of John Dewey.
Dewey joined and gave direction to American pragmatism, which had been initiated by the logician and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce in the mid-19th century and continued into the early 20th century by William James, among other thinkers. Anticipating Dewey, James regarded reality as an array of “buzzing” rather than static data, and he argued that the distinction between mental experience and the physical world is “messy” rather than pristine. Another theme of early pragmatism, also adopted by Dewey, was the importance of experimental inquiry. Peirce, for example, praised the scientific method’s openness to repeated testing and revision of hypotheses, and he warned against treating any idea as an infallible reflection of reality.
In general, pragmatists were inspired by the dramatic advances in science and technology  during the 19th century—indeed, many had formal scientific training and performed experiments in the natural, physical, or social sciences.

Dewey’s particular version of pragmatism, which he called “instrumentalism,” is the view that knowledge results from the discernment of correlations between events, or processes of change. Inquiry requires an active participation in such processes: the inquirer introduces specific variations in them to determine what differences thereby occur in related processes and measures how a given event changes in relation to variations in associated events. For example, experimental inquiry may seek to discern how malignancies in a human organism change in relation to variations in specific forms of treatment, or how students become better learners when exposed to particular methods of instruction.

True to the name he gave it, and in keeping with earlier pragmatists, Dewey held that ideas are instruments, or tools, that humans use to make greater sense of the world. Specifically, ideas are plans of action and predictors of future events. People possess an idea when they are prepared to use a given object in a manner that will produce a predictable result. Thus, people have an idea of a hammer when they are prepared to use such an object to drive nails into wood. An idea in the science of medicine may predict that the introduction of a certain vaccine will prevent the onset of future maladies of a definite sort. Ideas predict that the undertaking of a definite line of conduct in specified conditions will produce a determinate result. Of course, ideas might be mistaken. They must be tested experimentally to see whether their predictions are borne out. Experimentation itself is fallible, but the chance for error is mitigated by further, more rigorous inquiry. Instrumentalism’s operating premise is that ideas empower people to direct natural events, including social processes and institutions, toward human benefit.

Democracy as a way of life.
Given its emphasis on the revivability of ideas, the flux of nature, and the construction of ends or goods, one may wonder how Dewey’s philosophy could provide moral criteria by which purported goods may be evaluated. Dewey did not provide a thorough, systematic response to the question of how an instrumentalist determines the difference between good and evil. His typical rejoinder was that human fulfillment will be far more widespread when people fully realize that precarious natural events may come under deliberate human direction. Dewey made this claim, however, without sufficiently weighing the problem of how people are to choose between one proposed vision of fulfillment and another, especially when there are honest disagreements about their respective merits. Yet, while he never solved the problem, Dewey did address it in his philosophy of democracy, which he referred to as “democracy as a way of life.”
Dewey conceived of democracy as an active process of social planning and collective action in all spheres of common life. Democracy is also a source of moral values that may guide the establishment and evolution of social institutions that promote human flourishing. However, unlike other moral frameworks (e.g., great religious traditions or political ideologies), democracy as a way of life is neither absolutist or relativist, because its norms and procedures are fallible and experimental. It is a consciously collaborative process in which individuals consult with each other to identify and address their common problems; indeed, Dewey spoke of democracy as “social intelligence.” Within a fully democratic society, Dewey suggested, people would treat each other with respect and would demonstrate a willingness to revise their views while maintaining a commitment to cooperative action and experimental inquiry.

Christians, you are to love one another, not because of the gain which you get from one another, but rather because of the good you can do for one another. ~ Charles Spurgeon

Rose For those who walk with me on this journey of life Rose

Thank you 🙂

Generally, I’m a positive person, but I’ve seen no evidence the human race
has continued to evolve the last 15 years.  I mean….to be fair…evolutionary adaptation tends to require a much larger time span before we can see the cumulative changes over time. But…it DOES seem to be the case that humans can regress diabolically in a very short period of time, so yeah: I hear ya buddy!  Think about it, by the time you figured it out you die and a new person is born and has to learn everything anew. That’s why technology keeps moving and humans don’t. You can tell me something but I have to experience it to truly understand.

From our observation, human beings haven’t evolved.

You creatures still believe you are separate “races”.  

There seems to be a reverse evolution even. 

Morally, the human race didn’t evolve at all.

Platypus vs. Platypus | Battle for Dominance
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species appear in the fossil record. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, it senses prey through electrolocation. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals, as the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom, capable of causing severe pain to humans.  

Sometimes evolution takes a wrong turn, take it from a platypus. 
Basic moral principles of different cultures across different continents have stayed the same for thousands of years. But people still can’t live by these basic principles. Tech advance without moral advance only made us more dangerous.

It’s not about “evolving”, humans are a base animal. We haven’t physically changed over the last million or so years. The word I believe you are looking
for is “learned” anything. We are living for far too short a time to gain any enlightenment for change in behavior. It’s a loop  Sadly humans only evolve when they are forced to. I believe the internet is the devil and technology has made us antisocial and we’ve devolved.

If everything that we believe is false (as per the mission of the CIA) then the masses who refuse to wake up have only been devolving — the bifurcation of humanity.

U can’t even blame evil. U have to blame the ones who won’t stand against it. The ones who are complacent, weak who allow themselves to be fooled, deceived. U can lay that blame at the front door of many Republicans, churches, pastors, ministry leaders & business leaders.  

You think that long? It seems like the 1960’s is when things really started changing’
We have changed since 1969 when Neil Armstrong First Walked the Moon.

Then, “Houston, we have a problem!”  

Many people may not be able to see it for a lifetime.Face with tears of joyFace with tears of joy

They have evolved…just not in a good way.

We have dissolved yet evolved??

If there is an evolution, at least ten million years, 50 years is too short.

.Face with tears of joyFace with tears of joyFace with tears of joy  

Add a few more zeros on that number.. man is his own worst enemy and doesn’t learn from the past at all…

Now compare that to almost 3 million years. We’re a blip on the radar —

with the only means to fix it. Fisted handSmiling face with sunglasses

We stagnated for a while and now we’re going backwards. 
We have went backwards, I see it …. too

We are at the point of no return!!!

WE are evolving alright; how complex the transition is and into what? Lol  

You can pick up a Bible and go back to 2000 years and find the same thing  

The irony of progressivism is that it comes with a steady dose of Devolving

You assume that by evolving it’s a forward advance.
Clearly this evolution is backwards that we have since 2000

There’s no doubt the human race is evolving into what not!

It’s a part of the big lie! We are living that big lie.   

We’ve lost America. Freedom has been lost. Sad but true. We are helpless.
Wait until we add several million more illiterate illegals who don’t speak our language or want to assimilate… 

 When you have millions of people knowingly lying to themselves & everyone else everyday.
Not even allowing you the option as to whether or not you believe them.
You must believe them or else! I’d say we’re losing brain cells at alarming rates.

Maybe that’s because the human race has never evolved in the first place and
the last 15 years is just more evidence of the fall of the human race. 

Obama’s fault…He wanted to fundamentally change AMERICA and its people

The Sovereign Being

Your soul is infinite, free, and activated in the highest form of love within itself.

Gem stoneSparklesSovereign Divine HUMAN BEingSparklesGem stone  

The sovereign soul
Who lives self-governed and at peace,
Is centered in himself, taking alike
Pleasure and pain; heat, cold; glory and shame.
He is the Faithful and Illumined One, glad
With joy of light and truth; dwelling safely
In the Central Way, with senses subjugate.

By this sign is he known:
Being of equal grace to comrades, friends,
Chance-comers, strangers, lovers, enemies,
Aliens and kinsmen; loving all alike, Evil or good.
Within the Hedge he lives;
Restraining heart and senses, silent, calm,
Let him express Reality, showing Pureness of soul, abiding on the Rock,
Tranquil in spirit, free of fear, intent
On Me, expressing thoughts of Me.
That Faithful One, so devoted, so controlled, Comes to the peace beyond—
My peace, the peace Of highest Heaven! ~ Bhagavad Gita

These words from Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita speak to us even now. Amidst the call to what can sound like impossible qualities of character and experience, there is something so compelling and truthful. The words of this ancient text evoke an inner poise and grace that I know to be the truth of who I am.
And I don’t believe you are any different from me.
Reading Krishna’s words, it can sound like he is calling for an act of supreme self-discipline. But wait! The last lines of this reading belie that interpretation:
That Faithful One, so devoted, so controlled,
Comes to the peace beyond–My peace, the peace
Of highest Heaven!


David Karchere
The Sovereign Soul By David Karchere
Attunement Teacher and Author.

Ultimately, what makes a spiritual practice successful is surrender
to what is higher than the immediate experience, not human effort.
And so I surrender to Krishna’s peace. I surrender to what Krishna represents in the story—the rightful Lord of my sovereign soul, knowing that my surrender opens me to all the qualities of character and experience Krishna describes. This brings Attunement to all of who and what I am, as it does for anyone.

Interview with Kristin Hoffmann & David Karchere – One Earth Live
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice
that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” – Winston Churchill –

The Third World War.   
We are living in a new time. A time of miracles. A time of evolution in our energetic abilities. The world has received a new energetic frequency that
is designed to awaken every one of us to a new level of soul awareness.
Show it to yourself so you can receive your messages with full trust that
they’re guiding you to the life your soul came here to live.

Your sovereignty is the power you feel when you allow yourself to be led
by your soul. To be in flow with the eternal energy running through our Line, guiding us to higher learning and deeper living. This connection to your soul’s wisdom, to your messages, coming through from your Akashic Records, is how you expand your awareness of your energetic lineage and live in this New World as a Soul Sovereign Being.
We get a lot of questions about being “sovereign” and what it means to be “sovereign”.  To us, being “sovereign” means that the government does not control any aspect of your life, so that God and not them are fully in control of your life.  Remember, the only authority government has comes from passing laws against crime, and if you don’t violate any of God’s laws, then the government has no jurisdiction whatsoever over you:

“But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law [man’s law].” 
[Gal. 5:18, Bible, NKJV]

“…the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which has committed to my trust.” 
[1 Tim. 1:9-11, Bible, NKJV]

“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men [and remember that the government is made up of men].” 
[1 Cor. 7:23, Bible, NKJV]


What is sovereignty?
When the energies of the matrix start to get very dense and things begin to explode, a powerful pathway of evolution is given to us which is to reclaim our sovereignty.
But what is sovereignty exactly? It is the ability to tune in, to find the most aligned reaction, emotion or action to take in response to an external stimulus. It is finding our own unique truth, which could be totally different from everyone else.
If something happens, instead of getting super angry, sad or anxious, we simply observe our external reality and how it impacts our internal state of being. We then can consciously choose our reactions as the highest response to have in accordance with our own truth. Ask what is going on by interpreting the story happening and tuning into how it is making you feel.
I tune in and I ask myself: “Is this really me talking here? Is this reaction coming from my soul? Or is this a program running from my parents?
Did they teach me to react like this? Or is this society wanting me to go down this path? Am I experiencing pressure from people around me?”

Reclaiming our sovereignty 
We must do the inner work by opening the ‘pandora box’ of our inner world. We layout all of the stuff we are experiencing and feeling regarding the external situation. We then reclaim our sovereignty by taking time to tune into it.
We don’t need to give any answers or have a reaction or take a side straight away, or at all actually. We don’t need to have a narrative or belief system.
We can just realize that we actually don’t know and are open to waiting to receive more information from the field.
We can choose to have no clue! By having no clue, we are already being more sovereign than pretending to have a clue just because we feel we need to fit into one side of the story or that we should know from our rational mind what is right and wrong.
Sometimes saying, ‘I don’t know’ is a sovereign choice anchored in higher levels of frequencies than just going along with one side of a narrative. 

Being courageous and reclaiming our power 
The more we realise that we can think whatever we want and that we don’t have to justify ourselves to anyone at all and we can own our choices, the more we tune in to how we feel about our own life. We can find more of our preferences that truly match our reality. 
We reclaim our power and we become courageous. Now is the time to be courageous, not to be a coward and hide pretending that nothing is really happening. Things are happening right now (in case you haven’t noticed!).
This is not to say you need to start protesting in the streets or start
a podcast or anything like that. 
It is to say that it is now the time for you, in the intimacy of your own relationship with the self to know who you are, where you stand and what you choose. Where do you place your energy? What do you believe in?
What makes you happy? What are your dreams? This is your honor.

What is honor?
Honor is how we react with ourselves in our own intimacy.
It is what we do behind closed doors when no one knows what we’re doing.
How do we treat ourselves? What decisions do we make about ourselves?
Do we follow through or bail out when we are being challenged?
If we have honor, we can have courage and if we have courage, we have honor.
They go hand in hand! 

Here, I’m talking about the courage to stand in our truth.
As sovereign souls and powerful divine beings, do you think we are weak? No! It is not nice to think that we are weak. We like to think that we are powerful souls, don’t we? We like to think that because we know it and it makes us feel good. 
So how can we actually embody that power? When we start anchoring our sovereignty, our soul blueprint, we start aligning our human to our unique essence. The human is the aspect of ourselves in this current reality that is doing the work. 

Our soul is divine already, our soul knows! 
Our soul is whole and resides in oneness, it is only our human that is learning to catch up to that. Do you think our powerful, fearless, divine and free soul would chicken out when aligning to its truth?
No of course not! Our soul will always go for it when aligning to our truth and reclaiming our sovereignty. Our soul asks us to drop every fear that we might have. This is the fear portal that we have been waiting for! Now is the time to be courageous and rise up and say “I am free to think what I want! I am free
to say what I want when it is in resonance with my magnificent heart!”
This is based on love for ourselves, love for humanity and love for the earth. This is what the Arcturian’s have shared over and over again with me over the last month during the Arcturian gateway in October. 

A message from the Arcturians.
During all of my 1:1 sessions in the last month, the Arcturians have been saying they don’t want to pressure us too much but now is the moment to go for it!
To stand up for our sovereignty and to be courageous enough to speak our truth.
The force of the energetics in the quantum at the moment are bringing us the force of courage and of aligned action.
This is why I wanted to share this message with you.
Sometimes we need to be shaken up! If you find courage by reading this, then my job is done for this transmission.

Connecting to your future ascended self
Remember that you are courageous already, it is only that there are new levels of courage to be found and embodied at the moment. The more you embody courage, the more you will find that honor and pride. 
What do you think the future, upgraded version of yourself would say to you right now? Would that version of you say “just wait and hide in the corner,
do what everyone says, don’t make a fuss?” Do you think your future ascended self would say that? No freaking way!
They would say “listen to me, listen to your soul, listen to your own truth,
go deep and be courageous and speak now! Now is the time!”

The transition into The Golden Age of Miracles.
Now is the time my friend. The transition is here, it is happening! Every soul stepping fully into their sovereignty, every soul reclaiming unapologetically their inner truth, every soul speaking their truth now and encouraging others to find more Love, Connection, Abundance and Freedom is helping a thousand humans to step up also. 
Through your own shift, you are helping a thousand souls at least through the principles of quantum entanglement. This is quantum physics! 

The principles of quantum entanglement. 
Remember that you can do a lot simply by stepping into your sovereignty.
Keep meditating and keep your vibes high no matter what. By doing this, we will literally blast everyone coming into our field with love, joy and freedom. 
We are also sending signals through all of your electrons and all the electrons of all the people that you have met in your life through the principle of quantum entanglement.
 
Everything that is happening is divinely orchestrated.
I want to reassure you that everything is happening beautifully. Everything is going according to the greater plan. The architecture is divine, always! 
God, Sophia Consciousness, the greater Creator, Creatures, Supreme Consciousness, knows exactly what is going on. The universe has our back, your soul has your back, your galactic team has your back, your soul family has your back and you have your own back.
So relax into the knowing that no matter what happens, you will rise and you will evolve. Evolution is what we chose. It is the constant and it is why we incarnate. Every single soul incarnates for the purpose of evolution. We are here to evolve.

Navigating your spiritual evolution?
How are you going to choose to navigate your spiritual evolution? Will you navigate it with courage? Will you take quantum leaps of faith into new realities? Will you become who you came here to be? Or will you choose to hide in a  corner and watch Netflix pretending that nothing is going on? Will you lie to yourself about the decisions that you are making because it keeps you safe? 

Activate your sovereign soul alignment meditation
This is a short channeled meditation for you to receive so please sit down somewhere comfortable with a straight spine and listen to the meditation below either on YouTube or on my podcast.

Skip forward to 18:45 – Activate your sovereign soul alignment meditation
>> WATCH THIS VIDEO Activate your sovereign soul alignment meditation.
Everything that happens in our external reality is there for the same purpose: to help each of us step back into our power. It is as simple as that!

image.png  This is why events unfold as they do outside of our reality. The more we realise that and the more we stay aligned, the more we reclaim our creatures/creator power, the less we are subjected to ups and downs, feeling lost and feeling scared, stressed and anxious. When we are continuously aligned to our unique soul blueprint, fully sovereign in our magnificent power, it doesn’t matter what’s going on in our external reality. We observe that as yet another pathway of evolution offered to us so we can stay more aligned and reclaim more of our unique power.

During this video, I discuss how we project frequencies into the macrocosm, what soul sovereignty is and how we can reclaim it, why now it the time to be courageous, the divinity of our soul and the transition we are experiencing into the Golden Age of Miracles.
I then share a 10 minute potent meditation and activation that is going to instantly bring you back into full soul alignment and full remembrance of your unique sovereignty. Skip ahead to 18:45 to go straight into the meditation.
May we rise together in Love and reclaim our own soul’s sovereignty now! 🪐
