Salvatore Folisi, AlterNet Waking Times What inner psychological need is met through our mass obsession with crime and prosecution? The following is an excerpt from Eros Over Logos: A Revolt of the Instinctual Mind Amidst the Madness of Modern Life by Salvatore Folisi. I am repeatedly struck by our country’s incredible capacity for criminalization and incarceration, our …
Christina Sarich, Contributing Writer Waking Times “Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.” – Rumi Inaction is not acceptable anymore in a world that poisons our food, pollutes our land, air, and water and commits atrocities against, man, animal and nature that would be too horrid even to …
Chris Bourne, Openhand Contributor Waking Times There’s much talk in spiritual circles about ‘setting our intention’; ‘envisioning the things we want’ or ‘manifesting our reality’. How easily such things slip into the psyche and collective vocabulary. What if though, we’re still being led astray by the ego, albeit a more subtle form of ego? What if …
Soren Dreier, Contributing Writer Waking Times There are a lot of different angles out there, more or less new age, more or less sober, that bend the law of attraction into a washed-out cliché of a non-working law. In order to attract or manifest what we want in this life, I think a very good …
Stuart Wilde, Contributing Writer Waking Times Twenty-five thousand people were attracted to my spiritual teacher over the few years that he taught, and at each level of progress, the teachings and disciplines got harder and harder. After a period of about three years, almost everyone had dropped out; near the end, there were only 72 people …
Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times The intelligence that runs this universe of ours has a sense of irony. Or is it humour? Actually it is neither of those words. It is something far more breath-taking: it is synchronicity – and when it weaves in and out of mundane life, we glimpse the mystery. At …
Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times “I have known good and evil, Sin and virtue, right and wrong; I have judged and been judged; I have passed through birth and death, Joy and sorrow, heaven and hell; And in the end I realized That I am in everything And everything is in me.” (Hazrat Inayat …
Frank Huguenard, Staff Writer Waking Times In modern times, attempts are often made to use the modern scientific method to infer or prove the existence of a spiritual dimension. Electrodes are attached to mediator’s head, psychics and remote viewers are tested for accuracy and consistency, and the results of intentions and prayers are statistically measured …
Belsebuub, Guest Writer Waking Times Love is of consciousness, which is the spiritual within. Yet consciousness is not free, as it’s smothered by the subconscious and is asleep, and so too as a consequence is love. Negativity in particular destroys feelings of love, engulfing and consuming the mind. It also ruins the ability to be …
Christina Sarich, Contributing Writer Waking Times “Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.” – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe When one of the most intellectually resilient minds of our time tells you that change is inevitable, sometimes you listen. In a recent reading (Gino Serge’s Faust in Copenhagen) about the …
Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times I talked in ‘Living in an Ensouled Universe’ about the energetic imprint we each receive from the stars (shorthand for Sun, Moon and planets) at our birth, by way of electromagnetic energy affecting our energy fields. As well as our unique natal pattern of cosmic energy, we are each …
Linda George, Contributing Writer Waking Times We exist in a system where our beliefs are continually manipulated to induce a programmed ‘reality’ – one we are conditioned to accept is reality. It is the ‘reality’ of the physical, five-sensory, finite world. In reality, reality is not this! In reality, we are living in an ensouled …
Belsebuub, Guest Writer Waking Times Spirituality is big business, it’s a multi-million dollar industry. A lot of what passes for spirituality today is actually a commercial venture of one kind or another. It should be seen for what it is – business, and not serious, genuine spiritual knowledge. Commerce and spirituality have different values. Spirituality …
David Peers, Guest Writer Waking Times My life is organised and aligned with Tibetan Buddhism and Japanese Zen. I teach Yoga. With the wisdom of one and the mindfulness of the other, my life becomes simpler. I realised, some time ago, that we spend most of our time comparing our own life against that of …
Christina Sarich, Contributing Writer Waking Times Solar energy has already come a long way. In the past five years it has evolved from cumbersome solar panels which had to be installed by the dozen on roof tops in order to provide enough kilowatts per hour to power even the smallest home’s energy needs. Then came …
Graham Hancock, GrahamHancock.com Waking Times You Are STILL Being Lied To We are told that the “War on Drugs” is being waged, on our behalf, by our governments and their armed bureaucracies and police forces, to save us from ourselves. “Potential for abuse and harm” are supposed to be the criteria by which the use …
Z, Contributing Writer Waking Times 1. You are an advocate for changing fear, as opposed to fearing change By transforming fear into courage, you understand that power is merely a stopgap that must be expiated, lest it corrupt absolutely. For any action to count as courageous it must first come from an understanding that the …
Chris Bourne, Openhand Contributor Waking Times These are monumental times we’re blessed to be living in. Humanity is waking up from eons of amnesia. Gaia has centred in the Fifth Density and powerful evolutionary transitions of consciousness will unleash the earth from the restrictive and exploitative karmic energies of our past. To many, in these early …
Stuart Wilde Waking Times When people talk about a paradigm shift, they mean a shift in the recognized pattern of things, which we can say is the ‘standard model’ that forms the basis of people’s comprehension and understanding. We are in the process of mankind’s biggest consciousness shift in history. The reason being, as I …
Martin A. Lee, Reality Sandwich Waking Times Pot-smokers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your pipe dreams. Marijuana legalization is a beginning, not an end. When residents of Colorado and Washington voted to legalize the adult use of cannabis, it felt like a momentary rush of sobriety in a country dazed …
