Pāli Word a Day for August 18, 2017 — upadesa — pointing out, indication, instruction, advice

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā;
manoseṭṭhā manomayā.
Manasā ce pasannena
bhāsati vā karoti vā,
tato naṃ sukhamanveti
chāyāva anapāyinī.

Mind precedes all things;
mind is their chief, mind is their maker.
If one speaks or does a deed
with a mind that is pure within,
happiness then follows along
like a never departing shadow.

Tarot Contemplation – The Chariot

You can accomplish a great deal today, but discipline is key.  Stay focused on your goals.  Don’t let distractions interfere.  You have the skills and resources to achieve what you want, but not without effort.  It’s time to take control of your life.  Stay focused on your goal.  Harness all of your resources to get to where you want to go.  Don’t get thrown off course by your emotions.  Forego short term gratification for long term accomplishment.  And, the weekend is here, so perhaps enjoy traveling … be safe and be IN-Joy!

Society:  10 Differences Between Kids Who Grew Up In The 70’s Vs. Today | Marco Torres

As a child who grew up in the seventies, I’m flabbergasted at the degree of generational differences in health, medicine, food, safety, and general well-being of children. Don’t get me wrong, I love technology and all the advancements we’ve made in several areas, but at the same time when you break it down to the simplest ways of managing human lives, we’ve taken one step forward and three steps back….

Pāli Word a Day for August 17, 2017 – pabhāsa — shining, splendour, beauty

Sududdasaṃ sunipuṇaṃ,

so let a wise one guard one’s mind,
for a guarded mind brings happiness.

Terrano (red wine) granita

mad & delicacy - La Cucina Italiana ... For Everyone ... Anywhere in the World's avatarmad and delicacy

Terrano wine is cultivated in two European nations, Italy and Slovenia, but the soil is the same: the Carso. The Carso (Karst) is a plain situated above the Central European city of Trieste (in Friuli Venezia Giulia Region of northeastern Italy) and neighboring Slovenia.

Terrano is also known as “Blood of Carso” for its color. This red wine grape is grown on a peculiar bright red soil, beneath which exist thousands of sinkholes.

The combination of a fresh acidity and aromas of forest fruit, make this red wine perfect to prepare a scrumptious and refreshing granita.

The Ascesion Codes

Michelle Welsh's avatarMichelle Welsh

I have been asked a few times about angel numbers and what they mean. Angel number are the numbers 111,222,333,444,555,666,777,888,999, that you will start seeing over and over during your Ascension process. These are the numbers the Angels and your guides use to reprogram your DNA. Nicola Tesla once said If you only knew the magnificence of the numbers 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe. And what they are are the keys to ascension.

It helps if you think as numbers as energy and the way the universe communicates with you on an energetic level. Humans are a representation of duality through the 2 strand DNA system that we were programmed with. It was through the study of ancient philosophy like the I Ching, that eventually led scientists to develop the first computers based on a two number system called binary code. Binary code…

An Empath`s Guide to the Ascension

Michelle Welsh's avatarMichelle Welsh

1525450_900697816641169_1938192282713935494_n

An Empath is a person that is able to feel other people’s energy the way everyone used to before the first fall of man. It was through the willful abuse of this power (life-force energy) that we were cut off from its use in the first place. We still use this power on a daily basis although most are unconscious of its effects. When we misuse this energy God has provided us with, it creates dysfunction and unhealthy relationships. Since we cannot connect with life-force energy as readily, we steal energy from each other. I`m sure everyone has heard of ​ energy vampires. They are the ones who we feel totally drained when we are around them, aka Narcissist. But they aren`t the only ones who take it. It is also those people who always have a crisis, who are needy, and who use their sickness to garner pity. Empaths were…

2017 Eclipse

Susan Levitt's avatarSusan Levitt

August 21 2017 is a new Moon and a total solar eclipse. This eclipse occurs when the Moon slides between the Earth and the Sun. Starting over the Pacific ocean, the Moon will paint a 67-mile wide swath of darkness across the United States. This lunar sweep starts at 9:06 am PDT in Oregon, and ends at 4:06 pm EDT in South Carolina. Then the eclipse continues over the Atlantic ocean for about 75 minutes.

To observe, on the West coast the eclipse begins just after 9 am, and the eclipse peak is at 10:19 am. On the East coast, the eclipse begins just after 1 pm, and the peak is around 2:30 pm. If traveling to view the eclipse, allow more time for traffic because Mercury is still retrograde until September 5.

In Jungian terms, an eclipse is an absence of light when the shadow is seen. So this…

Affirmations …

The purpose of life, including our human life, is the evolution of consciousness. The aim of our human existence is to become as fully human as possible, to realise or make real the full potential inherent in the human condition. This applies to all levels of being human, to the biological, the emotional as well as the mental level.

Instead of seeing yourself as just a personality with a mind and a body, imagine yourself as part of an individualised life-stream that flows eternally towards increasingly higher levels of consciousness ~

Scientists obtain ‘how to’ guide for producing hair follicles

How does the skin develop follicles and eventually sprout hair? A USC-led study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), addresses this question using insights gleaned from organoids, 3D assemblies of cells possessing rudimentary skin structure and function—including the ability to grow hair….

Blocking enzyme linked to Alzheimer’s may reverse memory loss

In the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, many of the genes required to form new memories are shut down by a genetic blockade, contributing to the cognitive decline seen in those patients. MIT researchers have now shown that they can reverse that memory loss in mice by interfering with the enzyme that forms the blockade. The enzyme, known as HDAC2, turns genes off by condensing them so tightly that they can’t be expressed. For several years, scientists and pharmaceutical companies have been trying to develop drugs that block this enzyme, but most of these drugs also block other members of the HDAC family, which can lead to toxic side effects. The MIT team has now found a way to precisely target HDAC2, by blocking its interaction with a binding partner called Sp3. “This is exciting because for the first time we have found a specific mechanism by which HDAC2 regulates synaptic gene expression,” says Li-Huei Tsai, director of MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and the study’s senior author….
