The Timelessness of Aging and the Self

Linda George, Contributor Waking Times Time, in our corner of the universe, seems to be running the show. Our lives are controlled by the clock. Everything we do is dictated by the time – of the day, the week, month, year. We look in the mirror and see the physical effects of time on our

Jeremy Hance, Mongabay Waking Times On the evening of May 30th, 26-year-old Jairo Mora Sandoval was murdered on Moin beach near Limón, Costa Rica, the very stretch of sand where he courageously monitored sea turtle nests for years even as risks from poachers rose, including threats at gunpoint.

For Most Foods, The Faster It Spoils, The Healthier It Is – The Toxic Preservation of Food Is Killing Us

Marco Torres, Prevent Disease Waking Times The food industry has created an era of convenience for consumers through packaged, preserved, emulsified, pasteurized, sterilized, irradiated and chemically altered foods.

GMO’s and Health: The Scientific Basis for Serious Concern and Immediate Action

Nathan Daley, MD, MPH, Green Med Info Waking Times OMG, GMOs! You might ask, “why all the fuss about agricultural genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?” After all, regulatory agencies have approved these technologies for widespread application and consumption, so they must be safe, right?  Well, the truth is that there is no agency and no industry

The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race

Andrew Collins, New Dawn Waking Times Angels are something we associate with beautiful Pre-Raphaelite and renaissance paintings, carved statues accompanying gothic architecture and supernatural beings who intervene in our lives at times of trouble.

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times Sometimes called Mon-satan, there is a reason that people are up in arms about Monsanto, more than any other Big Pharma company.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times The other day I was talking with a person who is an addiction counselor, and of course our conversation turned to the young people who are her clients. I wondered what she sees as the core problem that brings a young person into addiction… is it peer pressure, drug advocacy

7 Concepts That Shape Who You Are, How You Think About Yourself and Others

Josh Richardson, Prevent Disease Waking Times Our world of duality is slowly changing. More of us are seeing each other for who we are and why we’re here. Every aspect of our lives revolves around how we think and feel about ourselves and those around us. If we understand what we need to accept in

It Starts With You…

Alex Redmond, Contributor Waking Times It starts with you….. Governments cannot change the world, neither can churches, society nor any other authority. Nobody can be forced to show compassion, tolerance, respect and nobody can be forced to change. Gandhi said “be the change you want to see in the world”. The world will only be

Looking Beyond the Issues to the Causes

Belsebuub, Guest Waking Times There are some difficult problems facing us that threaten not only our fundamental rights as human beings but also our very survival.

The Heart and Knowing Mind of Divine Awareness in the Body

Peter Borys, Jr., Guest Waking Times The future of humanity is an awakening of heart consciousness.

Flu Vaccine Causes 5.5 Times More Respiratory Infections

Heidi Stevenson, Gaia Health Waking Times The utter absurdity of vaccination ‘science’ is revealed in this study. It claims a flu vaccine results in less disease risk because it causes antibodies to develop, in spite of not reducing the likelihood of contracting the disease and also resulting in 5.5 times more incidents of similar diseases! 

How Agriculture Can Provide Food Security Without Destroying Biodiversity

Jonathan Latham, PhD and Allison Wilson, PhD, Green Med Info Waking Times According to conventional wisdom, the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte (pop. 2.5 million) has achieved something impossible. So, too, has the island of Cuba. They are feeding their hungry populations largely with local, low-input farming methods that enhance the environment rather than degrade

Let Go Of The Baggage – Or Go Down With The Ship

Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times It’s a very freaky time right now. I’m really removed in every way possible away from mainstream anything. The only news I follow is alternative sites, and much of that is esoterica or practical ideas for the real world we should be living in now and how to go about

What Love Does to the Human Brain

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times What Love Does to Us Falling in love results in the very same neural response that ignites the brain when people do heavy narcotics.
