(Sofia Adamson) One of the defining moments in the adventure of personal awakening is the realization that we’re all actually working towards the same thing: our own personal evolution.

Jet Li On The 3 Levels of Self-Mastery
(Dylan Charles) For far too many people, life is a daily struggle. Working a job they don’t like, overloaded with bills, stuck in sour relationships, managing health issues, the fear of living in a messed up world, and so on. We’re never really taught to study life and how to find happiness, but when we do, the struggle fades and life is recognized as a gift and lived accordingly. This is the path to self-mastery; learning to live in a way that honors your personal power and cultivates happiness, inner peace and graceful strength.
Reporter Quits NBC Citing Network’s Support For Endless War

Your Body is a Projection of Consciousness and Thought
(Alex Pietrowski) At the cutting edge of science and technology today is artificial intelligence and robotics, which are being driven by ever-increasing computational speeds made possible by quantum computing. When the capacity of technological computation rivals the speed of our capacity to think and process information as humans, then we will reach the singularity and a superintelligence will emerge in our society, triggering runaway technological growth.
BPA Free May Not Mean Safe – Researchers Link Alternatives to Bisphenols to Reproductive Abnormalities
(Anna Hunt) It’s common knowledge, these days, that the plastic ingredient bisphenol A, or BPA, can be harmful to your health. Although we don’t technically consume plastic, BPA present in food packaging can leach into our food and water.

The Truth About the Rise in Children’s Mental Disorders
(Peter Gray Ph.D.) Rates of depression and anxiety among young people in America have been increasing steadily for the past 50 to 70 years. Today, by at least some estimates, five to eight times as many high school and college students meet the criteria for diagnosis of major depression and/or anxiety disorder as was true half a century or more ago. This increased psychopathology is not the result of changed diagnostic criteria; it holds even when the measures and criteria are constant.
Belief Systems and the Power Of Authority
(Julian Wash) Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that adheres to the abstract nature of belief. Beliefs come in many shapes and sizes and yet all share something in common— they’re elusive and intangible.
The Universal Law of Karma
(Azriel ReShel) Some years ago while staying at the ashram of the Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi, nestled at the foot of the forest covered mountain of Arunachala, I read the great sage’s sacred words, etched above a doorway: “Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”
The Reality of Consumerism – Starbuck’s Certified Coffee Plantation Busted Using Slave Labor
(Daniela Penha) At first sight, the Córrego das Almas farm in Piumhi, in rural Minas Gerais state, seems to be a model property. “No slave or forced labor is allowed,” reads one of several signs that display international certifications — including one linked to the U.S.-based company Starbucks corporation. But investigators have found that laborers on the farm’s coffee plantations were working under degrading conditions and living in substandard housing without sewerage or drinking water. A Ministry of Labor team inspection conducted at the site rescued 18 rural workers in conditions analogous to slavery.
5 Ways to Take CBD and When Each is Most Beneficial
(Sofia Adamson) Cannabidiol (CBD) is the critical non-psychoactive, therapeutic chemical that’s present in strains of the hemp and cannabis plants. The compound is a cannabinoid, one of more than 100 rare substances that engage with the human body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system plays an important role in regulating our physical and emotional wellbeing, as cannabinoid scientists have demonstrated since the late 20th century.

Tony Robbins Enters the Fight to Rescue Children Being Trafficked as Sex Slaves
(Vic Bishop) Some things in our world are so terrible that no one wants to talk about them, much less try to do anything about them. Nearing the top of this list is international child trafficking, and shockingly, millions of children are sold into slavery each year, with many of them being used for sexual exploitation.
