Documents Leaked By Edward Snowden Reveal An Incredible Secret Buried Below Our Feet

Leave a comment

For those who don’t know who Edward Snowden is, it’s crucial we get you caught up to understand the gravity of what has unfolded. Snowden is a former employee of the CIA, computer professional, and former contractor for the US Government. In 2013, Snowden copied a number of classified documents from the US National Security Information. The information contained multiple global surveillance programs. These programs are the result of the combined efforts of the NSA and Five Eyes with cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments.

Snowden’s disclosure was massive: including 15,000 or more Australian files,over 58,000 files of Britain and over 1.7 million files of the NSA. Some of the information was instant message conversations and general talking points. The manner in which he took the information make it nearly impossible to tell what exactly he copied, until he releases it. Naturally he was brought up on charges of espionage, treason and theft. For more information see his website.

He fled to Russia where he was granted asylum for a year. This turned into three years, and now he has been granted asylum in Venezuela. Now that his future is looking a little more secure, he has released more information about our government’s hidden agendas.

He claims that there is not only a humanoid, sentient species living in hydro thermal vents, underground and under the polar caps, but that our governments have known about them since the 90’s.

“Because ballistic missile tracking systems and deep-sea sonar are kept as state secrets, scientists don’t have access to data about these objects. However, most of the contractors at DARPA are sure that there is a species more intelligent than homo sapiens living in the mantle of the Earth. It makes sense, if you think about it, because that is the only place where conditions have been more or less stable for billions of years. Extremophiles may live at different temperatures than us, but they have been able to thrive and develop intelligence at a seemingly accelerated rate. That’s not true, because they’ve simply evolved at the same rate, but without many of the vicissitudes which set back surface life . . .
“The president receives daily briefings about their activities. Analysts believe their technology to be so far advanced that we stand little chance of survival in any potential war. The general sentiment is that we are but ants from their perspective, so there is little chance they would empathize or attempt to communicate with us, and the current contingency plan is to detonate nuclear weapons in deep caverns to ‘sting’ the foe we have no hope of destroying in hopes it would discourage further attacks.”

 

This affirmation of the government keeping such dangerous secrets from the public are deeply unsettling. The fact that we have plans to attack this unknown group of sentients with out informing the public or seeking out communication with the other species is even more unsettling.

A Beginner’s Guide To Understanding Your Chakras

Leave a comment

Chakras are energy points in specific places in the body that directly effect our being on multiple levels of existence. As the West comes to embrace Eastern philosophies and practices, chakras have become a topic of debate for many people.  The chakras govern physical and intangible aspects of ourselves. Noticing them not spinning in alignment will have physical and spiritual sypmtoms.

There are ways to nurture them directly, but by treating the symptoms you can realign the source. There are seven main chakras in the body and like most formations of the body, they can fix themselves to an extent.  The  more you practice with them and actively care for their maintenance, the better they will function. The chakras are normally visualized as spinning balls of energy located along the spine at specific junctions.

Even if you don’t subscribe to notions of spirituality attached to chakras, they are still a great way to group together and connect physical, mental and emotional aspects of your being. There are many ways to correct the alignment of chakras, according to many schools of thought and disciplines. You can also ‘free style’ it as your connection and awareness build. Chakras are immersed in every aspect of our being, so there are many ways to effect them.

From music, to ecstatic dance action and intent can harmonize and bring dis balance to your life. I’ve listed the major chakras in ascending order with general information on each. Keep in mind that chakra energy flows from the bottom upward. So you may see issues with your throat chakra but you need to make sure all the chakras preceding it are in line first. Keep your eye out for the intermediate guide, in which we’ll specifically diagnose unhealthy chakra symptoms and how to fix them. Keep in mind that a basic visualizing meditation can go a long way in fixing the chakras.

Root aka Muladhara

People with addiction issues will want to take special care to keep Vishudda spinning correctly. Some ways to keep your throat chakra healthy is to scream, yell, laugh, and gargle salt water.

9 Signs You Are Tapping Into Your Dormant Psychic Abilities

Leave a comment

Psychic abilities do exist and these powers vary from person to person. Take two people that read minds and intentions. One of them may be using a extremely refined and disciplined version of the throat chakra. The other may have a over developed or at least well maintained pituitary gland. The variance in how people are able to reach supernatural goals makes it difficult to write a list of common guidelines. We feel confident about the list below. We hope that is affirmation will bring new perspective to you current experiments into the unknown.

You Experience Many HeadachesHeadaches-Migraines

One of the few drawbacks, this symptom can pass from the realm of annoying to painful and debilitating.

This symptom could develop for any number of reasons. It could ache in the same way an exercised muscle does. You may have subconsciously taken or mirrored from someone.

Whatever the reason drink some water, eat and meditate, in that order.

You Experience ‘The Roaring Of Silence’

This peculiar sensation is very unsettling the first couple of times you hear it. As your psychic abilities sharpen you will be able to ‘hear’ the world around you. You aren’t picking up specific thoughts, intentions or emotions. In lieu of the specific stimuli you feel the ‘weight’ of the presence of that information. This false silence is like the way your brain is protecting you from being flooded with psychic information.

Your Frequently Sought Out For Advice And Intuitive Perspective

People may come to you for all sorts of wants and needs. While people you know often come to you, strangers will as well. When approached  by strangers just do your best to not judge and actively listen. If they are opening up to you, this is a strong indication that they lack someone to talk to.

You Experience Extreme And Seemingly Random Sensations

Self-Compassion-Concord-MassachusettsExamples of this look can take on many varieties but one of them is temperature fluctuations localized to specific extremities (a cold left hand, or tingly right calf).

You may also feel a surge of energy, someone watching you and a burst of a strong emotion out of seemingly nowhere.

Feelings of something crawling on you, falling or even sudden spinning sensations can manifest as well.

This is you picking up on someone else’s ju-ju.

Varying Levels Of Precognition Are Common

You’ll be looking at a problem and it’ll feel like someone whispered the answer in your ear. The answer may not always be dead on but it’ll be fairly close. The sensation, like many of these examples, is hard to explain but it feels very similar to when your gut is trying to tell you something.

Without Verbal Communication, You Know Strangers Want

A person can walk into a room, a person you don’t know, and before that person says anything, you take on the feeling of a human mirror, You can feel what they feel and know their intentions. In cases where you already know the person, the feelings and process looks similar.

You Can See Auras

You may or may not be able to see distinctive shapes and colors streaming off a person.  It may appear as ripples or shimmers in the air. If you want to specifically develop this skill faster, we have an article geared towards your needs.

Naturally And Without Effort You Lucid Dream

You have naturally developed a refined and strong connection with your mental and spiritual aspects, allowing you to dream ‘better’. You can not only dream more vividly but also remember more of these details and intentions when you come back to the waking world.

Highly Empathic

This goes beyond feeling similar to what another person feels. It is far more intense in the vividness and clarity of what is felt.

You Experience Anxiety And Distinctive ‘Weirdness’ In Publiczen business people in forest

Large crowds and public spaces give you anxiety. You can feel the false silence we talked about earlier.

Also, the fact that you are experiencing these powers and spiritual breakthroughs, means that there are a handful of others in the crowd going through the same thing.

They could be projecting these feelings with out meaning to. It’ll be like a baby crying out because it’s cold and it doesn’t know what else to do.

2 Reasons You Should Start Meditating Today

Leave a comment

Humans are easily broken down into three general categories: mind, spirit, and body. When I say the mind, I am referring to not only the tool that is your brain, but your personality as well. The spirit, in the context of this article, is kin to your soul. In essence, that intangible, unique, common, and interconnecting aspect of humanity. The body is the standard reference to that meat sock you use to roam the scape of the Earth. Meditation is an ancient practice that has helped countless people (including yours truly) with any number of ailments, from various denominations and sects.

The two reasons you should mediate, aren’t the cosmic, golden keys some people may have been expecting and hoping for. No, the two perfect reasons you should start your practice today are far more tangible. You should do it because you deserve to experience life in the most loving, fun and productive manner. The second reason is because the world is in social and spiritual pain. It is up to us to heal ourselves and others.

Because You Deserve It!

Meditation will help you maximize every part of your experience as a person. Restoring your physical health, healing your mind, growing your awareness of all your senses, this is just the tip of the iceberg. And my friend, this iceberg makes the word colossal, extend no further than its own eight letters. You won’t even have to wait for shipping and handling! The effects of meditation are immediate.

As mentioned earlier, there are three components to a person’s make up. Meditation not only helps improve the states of all three but increases the ‘communication’ between the three.  For example, the relationship of your stomach in relation to your emotions will be more readily understood. Often the needs of aspects of our person aren’t actively, or clearly communicating what is needed or the communication method is being misread.

Providing sufficient ‘space’ for all the amazing parts of your sum, is only one of the winnings elements of meditation. I was diagnosed Bi Polar type II and my hunt for a winning combination of drugs was reaching terrible heights. Through meditation and genuine conversations I was able to come off all my medications. I still have ruff spots, but they are manageable. The biggest way meditation helped me was helping me realize how destructive my mania was. While manic or depressed my stomach was never properly communicating with my head, my heart was being ignored by my brain, or my heart would simply flip out. I mistook these flip outs as I was in love, or sad or any number of intense emotions. Meditation clears away the mis communications on a cellular level, providing the three main elements of ‘you’ to seek out and combine efforts to unlock better living.

It Is Every Individual’s Responsibility To Help The World, Starting With Yourself And Your Neighbor

We are the equivalents of cells in an organ. Same as on the micro level we have three main components, our community has the same. Earth is our body. Government, the Internet, communities at large, and society are the mind. The spirit or soul is exactly the same on this scale as the individual. Not only does each element need help but there must be room for the components to ‘speak’ to each other to achieve any goal. The planet (body) is sickened with toxins, drilling and a complete lack of respect for other life. The governments are constantly fight with one another, and when they aren’t at each other’s necks, there are skirmish wars between the governments and the people (who just want to be heard and keep of get basic rights). While many people have found a form of religion or a lack of organized religion or a form of spirituality that helps them be happy. This happiness seems to come at the cost of hate for other sects and groups. All around the world there are core problems with each component but through poor communication, we are no more productive than a dog chasing his tail.

Meditation will help you, as a person, become the best human you could have hoped for. As your presence is healed and made strong, so to will the elements in life you interact with and are simply around. Your empathy will rise and you communication skills will make the pro’s ask you for tips. As you are a necessary and integral part of the whole your health is everyone’s health and vice versa. Through meditation you will find it ripples through communities, no matter the religious faith. As more people are able to realize and ‘hear’ varying messages between their components, the complexities of the macro version will start to reveal their parallels to each person’s unique components. With all these people growing together as a whole, through individual means, answers will start to come.

In the end you need to save yourself, to save your community. You need to recognize the strength in yourself to point it out in others. Only together do we have a chance to better ourselves sustainable manner. And a ‘fight’ among your brothers and sisters, for your brothers and sisters, is always worth the effort.

If you’re ready to start meditating, try this stellar guided meditation.

9 Guiding Intentions That Transform Your Personal Growth

Leave a comment

Intention is the safest and most productive way to enjoy your present and plant seeds for a pleasant tomorrow. Not as rigid as expectations and lacking the seeds of disappointment, intentions help keep your goals and priorities in the fore front of your mind. Intentions keep focus on actions not the ideal that powers it. It helps to curb your more unproductive patterns and make space for growth. Here are nine basic intentions that will help you live more freely, love more willingly and be the most productive version of yourself.

Seek YOUR Truth

There are hints alluding to the truths behind the universe in all things. The key is to not only seek out all avenues of learning available to you, but understand what you learn as it is applicable to you. Intelligence does not become wisdom until applied successfully to real life situations.

Believe Anything Is Possible

Things are thought of as ‘impossible’ until they they are re-examined as a difficult possibility. Once that transfer of ‘impossible’ to ‘difficult’ occurs, the situation takes on a snowball effect. The idea gathers more information and intent till the goal is achieved. After it is achieved once, it is bound to repeat itself until it enters a more common category. That initial leap of faith is all it requires.

Examine what you believe is impossible. Mentally put it down, back away and examine it from all angles. Share it with your friends. Remove that terrible label, ‘impossible’. If it something you desire, that means you imagined it. Because a human thought of it, and existing in the infinite universe, any of our dreams and ideas can be realized.

Give Service To Others

Your life should never be ‘all about you’. That mentality will inevitably leave you unfulfilled and lonely. You don’t need to bend over backwards for everyone around you every day. Set time aside whenever you can to help your community or a person you know. You don’t need to solve the worlds problems, but helping someone across the street or returning someone’s lost dog will create a lot of positive energies.  There is also no need to be discerning in your aid. EVERYONE would appreciate some help every so often, and EVERYONE deserves it.

Express Your Light

We are all in this together. I know this is easy to forget with the wide variety of paths that people choose to take. Expressing your true self, love and inner strength at all times, provides a great example to others. It will have a personal and profound effect on everyone.

Everything Is Exactly Where It Needs To Be

In the chaos around us it’s easy to try and ‘fix’ people and situations around us. Realize that we are all connected and entangled, so what may appear to you as disorder, to another it is an expression and example of growth. Inherent in the desire to ‘fix’ or ‘make right’ aspects of life is judegement. Think back to a time you were unfairly judged. The person or institution passing judgement on you was approaching your situation with a completely different set of intentions and resources. What you are trying to do is the same, regardless of way brilliant your intentions are. Make your self of service if asked but don’t go around assuming you know better than others.

See the Creative Source In All Things

This intention follows the belief in a higher power. You don’t need to attribute a name or face to it (some have chosen God, Allah or Yahweh for example). Mine personally is the combined mindfulness that exudes from all life. I see myself in others, my mother in me, my future children in my friends. Find that common link to life and it will ease your ability to love and readily express it.

Follow And Develop Your Passions

If you don’t have a labor of love in your life, your immediate goal is to find one! If we work only to survive, it changes the way we view our strengths, weaknesses, and character. It makes us view them in a pale, unfulfilled light. If, however, we apply ourselves to a goal or concept that we genuinely care about it will color our life with more love, energy and possibility.

Love Yourself

This one seems obvious but it can slip away with our noticing very easily. We use negative reinforcement to motivate us in more ways than I care to think about. An example I normally think of is we don’t care for our bodies so we work out. Watch out for these negative thoughts that we use to productive ends. Take the time to thank your body for being so great and versatile. Take the time to realize you are fine the way you are. If you see a ‘flaw’, change the wording so it becomes a part of your beautiful character. This doesn’t mean that you can’t work towards a more productive and happy you.

6 Things You Lose When You Become Spiritually Awakened

Leave a comment

As we grow, become more aware, and love, our thoughts and actions change as well. This is not only due to our goals changing but the resources we draw on become more productive. As we ‘wake’ to the world as it truly is, the truth of it all changes us from the core outward. We are till human so we still experience and project negativity, but the magnitude and length of time being negative changes.

I still get angry at some fairly dumb things, but where before I would become a ball of rage and self destruction, I accept it as it is and smile to my heart. I thank it for being able to experience an array of emotions and through that love and acceptance, my rage subsides. Through the years of experience and learning, I have come to understand the pitfalls life can trick us into stepping into. Here is a list of some of those emotions and concepts that you will naturally let go of as you reach higher levels of consciousness.

Hatred

I talked on this a little but anger and hate are sadly dominant aspects of our society. Anger is like a fire in our souls, that clouds our eyes with smoke and chokes up true expressions. The feeling from anger is nauseating and entirely destructive. After spending long enough in the presence of love, hatred makes us feel physically ill. The once perceived strength that comes from anger, is seen as one dimensional and unproductive.

Jealousy

Jealousy is a direct descendant of comparative thought. WE look at what we have and compare it to another. We then judge the two parties off superficial elements. As we grow as people and fill our lives with love and works of compassion, we stop worrying about what others have. We acknowledge our own successes and failures as being precious and irreplaceable. This makes our mental and spiritual ‘belongings’ priceless. The joy attached to experiences and loved ones has shown us the flimsiness of the pursuit of physical objects. As we see others with a deeper understanding or a more powerfully expressed form of love, we are glad to have witnessed it. We are filled with joy at the success of others, because everyone deserves to be happy.

Fear Of Failure

For you to have built up your consciousness and prepare your tools of mindfulness, you have undoubtedly stumbled more than once. But as we grow older and wiser, we fear scrapped knees less and less. We know that that the harm of failure only extends as far as a lesson not learned. We welcome all opportunities of growth and knowledge. Our ‘tools’ wouldn’t be nearly so sharp if we never ‘sharpened’ them on suffering.

Insecurity

This thought child of comparative thought is normally one of the first negative formations to leave us. Insecurity can not prevail where there is acceptance, love and hope for the future. We remember that we are a perfect and constantly evolving form of beauty.

Anxiety

The future and past are nothing more than mysteries and stories. We don’t allow the unknown to cause us discomfort. We have faced it down many times and survived for the better.

Revenge

If someone wrongs us, the natural urge at one point was to return the favor. As we conquer our own negative formations, we come to recognize the pain that fuels the antagonists in our life. We don’t hate them, we don’t want to inject more negativity into the world. Staying wary of potential harm, we avoid it or try to save it from the negativity of their actions.
