(Gary Z McGee) A fully integrated human is in touch with their wholeness, whether good or bad, light or dark, ugly or beautiful. Balancing these energies can be counterintuitive. Integrating the whole leads to the holistic experience of self-actualization. But it’s not easy to achieve. It does not come naturally. Yet if we can practice such integration, no matter how counterintuitive, it can be the source of tremendous power and self-fulfillment.

(Nanice Ellis) On the path of awakening, the experience of Oneness is a major milestone for most serious seekers, and, sooner or later, virtually everyone who experiences Oneness also realizes that there is no real point or purpose to life.

Why Laughing Is Healthy: Laughter Is the Best Medicine When It Comes to Heart Health
(Mary Miller) Laughter doesn’t cost a single cent. It comes freely and helps a person deal with life’s absurdities. Sometimes, a good joke is all you need to perk right up after a downward slump, but laughter can do a lot more than just make you feel good.

Could Consciousness All Come Down to the Way Things Vibrate?
(Tam Hunt) Why is my awareness here, while yours is over there? Why is the universe split in two for each of us, into a subject and an infinity of objects? How is each of us our own center of experience, receiving information about the rest of the world out there? Why are some things conscious and others apparently not? Is a rat conscious? A gnat? A bacterium?
Feeling Lonely Or Depressed, Then Limit Social Media Time Per New Study
(Catherine J. Frompovich) One of the ‘things’ that figuratively blows my mind is how anyone can spend so much time on social media networks, ostensibly interacting with once-removed humans! The lack of real, one-on-one personal interaction is missing, regardless of what social media addicts think.

To Do The Thing You’ve Always Wanted To Do, You Have To Do It
(James McDougall) I’m going to talk about a fairly simple concept, but one that I think many people lose sight of when attempting to make significant changes in their lives. Many people stick to the mindset that ‘in order to do the things I want to do, I have to first do all the things I “need” to do.’ I know I’m definitely guilty of this kind of this thinking from time to time. But if I pay attention to my experience, it actually teaches me something different.
