Paradigm Shift ~ Beyond Carnism and Towards Rational, Authentic Food Choices
“Thanks Dr. Melanie Joy for this powerful presentation. It brought tears to my eyes thinking that how I could be an accomplice in murderer of so many innocent beings throughout my life by simply born into a society that being carnivorous was a normal way of life. I have tried twice being a vegetarian in my life due to philosophical reasons and failed to stay away from eating meat since it was hard for me to put up with inconvenience of remaining a vegetarian. But now I am more determined than ever to put an end to an awful practice and move toward being a better human being.”

The Tiny Dot
See that tiny dot? That dot is home.
“From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it’s different. Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
~ Carl Sagan
Health ~ Black Seed Oil: Protection In A Toxic World
This highly prized culinary spice has powerfully protective health properties as well…
Our bodies are increasingly exposed to an array of different toxic substances in daily life. These come from chemicals we have become dependent on for almost everything from protecting our crops to delivering safe water and packaging our food.
Many of these chemicals are known to cause us harm in high concentrations and our continuous exposure to them may explain some of the heath dilemmas we face today. Scientists have implicated environmental chemicals in increasing cancer rates, plummeting fertility, increases in obesity, respiratory illness, depression, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity and fibromyalgia to name but a few.
Apart from isolating yourself to an organic commune and existing purely on a raw vegan organic diet, is there anything else you can do to protect your health?
In this series of articles we will examine the harmful effects of chemicals present in our environments and the potential role for black seed oil to protect us from them.

New Moon of February 18, 2015: Make a Decision
The New Moon of February 18, 2015 is much simpler than more recent events such as the Mercury Retrograde of February 11 or the Full Moon of February 3rd. As with those patterns, we see an important decision. Unlike those patterns, the situation has likely resolved itself into a single key decision, and you need to make it as decisively as possible and as close to the New Moon as possible (at 47 minutes after the hour adjusted for your individual time zone). Ordinarily, we do not give precise times for a variety of reasons, but this event is clearly an exception to that.
Prior to the New Moon, as with any new moon in general, you will want to clean house. It is by removal and discarding that you will gain strength here. And since both Sun and Moon immediately change sign into Pisces after this new moon…

Your mind creates beliefs that manifest into your perceptions, which means beliefs limit your world. Your perceptions color your world … imposing those perceptions on others is called Judgment. Not caring that you are judging others based on your perceptions is called cognitive dissonance.

Recipe ~ Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties
{makes roughly 12 patties)
INGREDIENTS:
– 2 cups baked sweet potato, skins removed & mashed (approximately 2 medium sweet potatoes)
– 2 cups cooked quinoa
– medium yellow onion, diced
– 3 cloves of crushed garlic
– 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme (more to garnish)
– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
– sea salt
– fresh cracked pepper
– earth balance vegan butter or coconut oil for cooking
METHOD:
– Prepare quinoa according to package instructions (I cook 1 heaping cup with a scant 2 cups of water in my rice cooker).
– Preheat oven to 400 degrees, pierce sweet potatoes with fork and bake for 45 minutes or until soft. Remove skins, mash with a fork to remove all chunks and place in large mixing bowl.
– In a sauté pan combine onions, olive oil, a hearty pinch of sea salt and cook over medium-low heat until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook an additional minute, stirring continually to prevent the garlic from burning. Add thyme at the very end and mix well.
– Add onions, quinoa, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste), a bit of fresh cracked pepper to large mixing bowl with sweet potatoes and stir until well combined.
– Form mixture into golf ball size ball, flatten into a patty, and cook in earth balance vegan butter on a non stick pan for approximately 2 minutes on each side (you want them to brown up and crisp!). Repeat to make as many as you’d like. Enjoy with a generous sprinkling of fresh thyme leaves and some finishing salt! Save any leftovers in the refrigerator to make later.
Paradigm Shift ~ Spiritual Intelligence
by William Frank Diedrich –
What is Spiritual Intelligence and Why Should You Care?
The English word “spirit” comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning “breath”. Spirit is both the breather and the breath, the underlying nonphysical substance of all life. Intelligence comes from the Latin, intellegentia. Intellegentia comes from: inter-“between” plus legere-“choose, pick out, read” inter-lege-nt-ia. It literally means “choosing between”.
Spiritual Intelligence means to choose between the ego and the Higher Self or Spirit at any given moment. That is, we choose to live, to behave and to speak from a higher perspective. Scripturally this means: “Not my will, but thy will”.
In a more generic and modern sense, it is to live from one’s intuition and from inspiration, to listen to and follow the Inner Voice. It is the willingness and the will to tap into the One Mind which many call “God”, “Spirit”, “Oneness” or other names and to follow that guidance. This may come in the form of a hunch, an “Aha” moment, a compelling urge to do or say something constructive or a feeling.
How do I know if my Inner Voice is from my spirit or from my ego?
Spirit is a mindset of abundance, love, and well-beingness. The Inner Voice is compelling but not threatening or judgmental. It is gentle but firm. It is sure of Itself. This Inner Voice seeks the highest good for all concerned and does not seek to do harm.
In a spiritual perspective, rather than judge the behaviors of others, we use discernment. We discern if we will spend time with another person, or not. We discern if someone is a healthy or an unhealthy presence in our organization.
We make decisions that benefit the highest good for all concerned. We discern if our help will be utilized or if our help is futile. This discernment is not based on fear but on wisdom and understanding.
The voice of the ego is fear based and comes from a mindset of scarcity.
Scarcity means that either there isn’t enough or I am not enough so I had better manipulate, fight or flee this situation.
The ego is about separating people–the good from the bad, the saved from the damned, those who know from those who do not. The ego always sees itself as better than or less than others. This kind of separation is a way of justifying one’s positions and behaviors. The ego likes to be special.
Leader; Old English from German laedan–‘to guide’, ‘to conduct’, ‘to take.’We are always leaders because our respective ways of being and our behaviors influence others. We each lead by example every minute of our lives.
The question is:
“What example am I setting at this moment?”
“What example am I setting at this moment?”
If I hold a leadership position, my example is magnified due to my positional influence. If I am a Senior Executive, my words, my tone and my body language have a stronger effect on an employee because I am in a position of authority. If I am a parent, every word I use and every action I take is watched and learned by my children.
Why should you care?
Ask yourself:
- Are you leading from your ego or are you leading from your Higher Self (your Spirit)?
- Is your leadership based on fear and conflict and getting the upper hand or is it based on appreciation, discernment and being an example?
- Are you living from your highest values and vision, or are you battling with others to get control? Which do you prefer?
- Which is most effective?
Spiritual Intelligence is developed by asking these questions of ourselves.
We are able to “choose between” by stepping outside ourselves and seeing who we are being in this situation. Am I being the person I want to be? If I am a Christian, I may ask “What would Jesus do?” As a Buddhist, I may ask “What would Buddha do?” If I am not strongly affiliated with a religion: “What would my Higher Self do?” or “What would I do if I were at my very best? (strong, confident, loving, at peace)”
Reflection, prayer, meditation, contemplation and maintaining an awareness of one’s thoughts and emotions are some of the means by which we practice and develop our spiritual intelligence.
Spiritual Intelligence does not require all the trappings of religion.
At a minimum, it requires that you have a sense that there is something greater than just your personality. Have you ever had a flash of brilliance burst into your mind, a moment when you knew something but you didn’t know how you knew? If you are a person who, at times, intutitively knows what to say or do, then you are practicing your spiritual intelligence. It could be as simple as feeling the urge to praise someone or to listen to someone.
Spiritual intelligence grows when you both listen to intuitive thoughts that flow into your mind and you respond.
For example, you find yourself in a conflict. You step outside yourself briefly, and you do not like the person you are being. In that brief moment that you stepped outside of your drama, an intuitive thought says, “Just listen. Understand.” So, you follow that thought and stop pushing your point of view. You focus on the other person and their needs. Suddenly you get it. You understand where they are coming from and you know what you need to do.
Today you get to choose.
Who or what will run your life? Will it be your fearful and insecure ego that wants to control people and situations? Or, will it be your Higher Self, that wants what is highest and best for all concerned?
Will it be your ego, focused mostly on your own needs to the exclusion of others? Or, will it be your Higher Self, who feels confident, wise, and strong living and leading from your vision and values and from your identity as a spiritual being?
The ego is not the enemy. It is more like a fearful child who wants what it wants. It loses power over you as you give it less attention and focus instead on living and leading from the inside out. If you chose poorly just a minute ago, choose once again right now.
The choice, the opportunity is always right now.
Meditation ~ DNA Recoding, with Judy Satori
The first DNA recoding energy transmission comes from the Elohim. It is taking us BEYOND HEALING, to activate a series of critical synapses within the brain that will
instill an expanded ability to think and create. All you need do is listen.
instill an expanded ability to think and create. All you need do is listen.
There are two audio tracks…the first is the DNA recoding,
the second is to ground and recalibrate.
the second is to ground and recalibrate.
What You Will Experience
When you listen to this energy transmission you may experience an altered sense of self, a feeling of being very far away, or of floating in space. People have reported feeling a greater sense of peace and oneness with all life. You may feel vibration or pulsing. The energy opens a series of DNA time locks, like dominoes rolling or cascading. This transmission begins a process of DNA change and is its foundation.
Information About the Human Thought Process
Brain cells communicate with each other through an electro-chemical process. Every time we think, learn or communicate a brain cell or neuron sends an electro-magnetic biochemical message or nerve impulse down its axon. An axon is like a conduction channel between one brain cell and another. Each brain cell makes many thousands of connections with other brain cells during the thought process. When a brain cell (neuron) activates or fires it activates other neurons. A cascade communication effect takes place, creating a multiple domino-like firing process. This process creates neural pathways in the brain. The same thoughts repeated strengthen these neural pathways and make repetitive thoughts more dominant. This is why repetitive listening to these audio tracks from Spirit enhances expected outcomes.
