Alexander Light, Contributor Waking Times The worldwide military expenditures for 2011 summed up to as much as $2,157,172,000,000 (yes, that’s over $2,15 trillion). The human mind cannot really grasp such a large amount of money, that’s why I will try to put it into perspective later on. USA alone spent the record sum of $741,2 billion in 2011 for waging wars and …

Paul Fassa, Natural Society Waking Times Chlorella seems to be an undervalued superfood, offering a lot of nutrition in very small servings. But chlorella offers even more than high nutritional value per gram. It is a powerful detoxification source. It’s able to detox heavy metals mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and barium and eliminate other ubiquitous pollutants, such as …

Severe cravings can lead to binge eating and other eating disorders. If we know exactly why …
V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times The Matrix as Prakriti produces the hologram for the Oneness. The external world of objects is ‘real’ enough to the five senses. The five senses transmit signals/waveforms of sound, light, etc. to the brain, which acts as a receiver. These signals carry the appearance of duality, differentiated multiplicity. This …
Steve Taylor, New Dawn Waking Times Enlightened people are like spiritual dynamos: they have a very strong presence which touches the people they come into contact with, transmitting something of their enlightenment to them. Even people who aren’t at all “spiritual” usually feel a sense of well-being in their presence, and so feel attracted to …
Jonathan Reynolds, Guest Waking Times If dogs and cats were capable of visiting the places where commercial pet food comes from, would they still want to eat it?

Julie Umpleby, Contributor Waking Times “Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.” Samuel Levenson “Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.” Lao-Tzu If you ask people want they want most in life, you will find the answer in the majority of cases to be that they ‘just want …

Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times We appear to currently be in a kind of vortex, or a roiling series of etheric vortexes and scattered eddies of changing, swirling currents, carrying newly manifesting energetics as well as debris of all types, sizes and dimensions. It’s wonderful exciting energy but it can be disconcerting at the same time. …
Dr. Mercola Waking Times Water is clearly one of the most important factors for your health—especially when you consider that your body actually consists of over 99 percent water molecules! I sincerely believe water is a really underappreciated part of the equation of optimal health. I’ve previously interviewed Dr. Gerald Pollack, who is one of the …
V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times Are we indeed living in the end of a Cycle of Time, facing a day of reckoning in the Twilight of the Kali Yuga, a PRALAYA meaning ‘Dissolution’ in Sanskrit. The acceptance of this possibility leads to the fear-loaded question of the Harvesting of Souls. The archaic phrase ‘harvesting …
Beverly Blanchard, Contributor Waking Times Every day we are bombarded by a tidal wave of information. Most of it is irrelevant to our immediate lives, yet it influences our lives.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times “You are divine… you’re love.” Naaa, I’m not… just trying to be nice and do the right thing. “Yes, you are divine, you’re love, we all are, and we are one.” Oh no, if we were, things would be different… we need to know the love of God. “You are …
Michael Forrester, Prevent Disease Waking Times It’s still a concept difficult to accept, even by those well-versed in meta-physical sciences, but we all create our own reality, from health to disease, happiness to sorrow and birth to death. There is not one experience that is not governed by our own creation. When we choose to …
Sayer Ji, GreenMedInfo Waking Times Given what we are now exposed to through our food, air, and water, detoxification has become a modern-day necessity.
