Metaphysics: How Walking In Nature Changes The Brain – Collective Evolution

This may seem obvious to some, since the feeling we get from going for a walk through a park or forest, going camping, or just getting out of the city in general is so refreshing and generally very relaxing. But new research is proving just how important getting out of the city and into nature can be for our mental and physical well-being.

The majority of people in the Western world live in busy, congested cities. Many of us have been completely cut off from nature in our day-to-day lives, especially compared to the generations before us. There have been many studies showing that city dwellers are much more likely to suffer from depression and other forms of anxiety […]

Is it possible to just look?

Can I look without the word at every problem: the problem of fear, the problem of pleasure? Because the word creates, breeds thought; and thought is memory, experience, pleasure, and therefore a distorting factor.

This is really quite astonishingly simple. Because it is simple, we mistrust it. We want everything to be very complicated, very cunning; and all cunning is covered with a perfume of words. If I can look at a flower nonverbally -and I can; anyone can do it, if one gives sufficient attention -can’t I look with that same objective, nonverbal attention at the problems which I have? Can’t I look out of silence, which is nonverbal, without the thinking machinery of pleasure and time being in operation? Can’t I just look? I think that’s the crux of the whole matter -not to approach from the periphery, which only complicates life tremendously, but to look at life, with all its complex problems of livelihood, sex, death, misery, sorrow, the agony of being tremendously alone -to look at all that without association, out of silence, which means without a center, without the word which creates the reaction of thought, which is memory and hence time. I think that is the real problem, the real issue: whether the mind can look at life where there is immediate action, not an idea and then action, and eliminate conflict altogether.

Capricorn Moon maintains today 2-21-2017

Libra Seeking Balance

The Moon walked calmly into Capricorn during the night and starts her day with a kindly sextile to the Pisces Sun. The Capricorn-Pisces combination is wonderful for putting our spiritual beliefs into practice through our daily actions . . . in my opinion, there is no better way to improve the quality of our lives. It will late evening before the Capricorn Moon catches up to Venus in Aries and Neptune in Pisces. Venus in Aries will test her patience while Neptune counsels patience. The Moon-Venus square may give us a taste of what is in store for us tomorrow. Make it a priority to get as much done as possible today because tomorrow’s atmosphere is far testier. 🌠☾♑🌠

Mercury in Aquarius is trine Jupiter in Libra today and this one is a winner because it combines perspective with a positive outlook. Please make note of ideas that pop into…

Ask yourself if your head and your heart are united. If you have a decision to make now, tune in to your heart’s desire, but also pay attention to logic. If you are acting out of love, you are on the right path. Often in life we must make choices, and once we choose one path, another is sacrificed. This card urges you to take responsibility and ownership for the choices you have made. Celebrate the love you have in all its forms: passion, friendship, caring, spiritual devotion and self-love.
