Question Reality: Whose REALITY Is It Anyway?

By Douglas Davis
Douglas Davis

Whose REALITY Is It Anyway?

"The weekend is over and tomorrow it's back to reality!" "You've lost touch with reality!" What exactly is reality and whose reality are we talking about? I saw a bumper sticker not too long ago that said "Question reality". I agree. I think reality should be questioned and challenged and maybe even done away with...

The Pandemic Is An Opportunity For Global Change: A Better World Is Waiting To Be Built

The pandemic we are experiencing is temporary; it will pass into history as all the previous pandemics did. But the change it brings may be lasting. It can be change for the better, or change for the worst. Making it a change for the better is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

The Web of Light: The Field of Sacred Energy and The Power of Thought

By Pauline Wills
Pauline Wills

The Web of Light: The Field of Sacred Energy and The Power of Thought
We can compare this web of light that permeates the universe to a spider’s web. When a fly becomes entangled in the spider’s web, it sends a vibration along the strands of the web. Similarly, what we think and feel sends along the strands of the web of light vibrational frequencies that can affect people, countries and world situations.

Would You Rather Have A Fish Or Know How To Fish?

Imagine the following. You are living a life with enough money and health and time so as to allow an hour or two of careless relaxation, sitting on the sofa at the end of the day in front of a large television, half-heartedly watching a documentary about solar energy with a glass of wine and scrolling through your phone.

How I Almost Got Arrested Because Of Faulty Perceptions

How I Almost Got Arrested Because Of Faulty Perceptions
Perception is a tricky thing. What we think we see is not necessarily what is really there. We have to be very careful about the judgments we make due to faulty perception.

Whenever You’re Ready: Your Mindset Shall Set You Free

By Alan Cohen
Alan Cohen

Whenever You’re Ready: Your Mindset Shall Set You Free
We have been taught that external conditions determine our state of mind; favorable conditions make us well and happy, and unfavorable conditions damage or depress us. Yet it is the other way around: It is our thoughts that create or attract conditions, and our internal choices that make us happy or not.

The Power of Attention and Intention: Bringing The Subconscious Mind On Board

By Nikki Gresham-Record
Nikki Gresham-Record

The Power of Attention and Intention: Bringing The Subconscious Mind On Board
Our subconscious mind can interfere with our best intentions, preventing a full coherent resonance with our intent. To have a clear intention in the conscious mind and heart is wonderful, but we must stop the subconscious mind from emitting its own limiting broadcast and having a hand in creating an unwanted reality.

By Ora Nadrich

The Path Of Self-Realization: Living True To Who We Really Are
We may be hurried or impatient to get to our "destination" but once we're there, what is it that we think we will find? We will find ourselves, and that means whatever "realizations" we've had along the way.

By Paul Selig
Paul Selig

Claiming the World Anew: The Divine As You and As All Things
You are not the one you think you are. You believe yourself to be what you thought you were, and the thought of being as you has accrued evidence through your magnetic field to justify your ideas.

Cat fights, mean girls, Queen Bees. We’ve all heard these terms stemming from a popular belief that women don’t help other women, or indeed actively undermine them.

Looking and Seeing: Dissolving Divisions and Boundaries

Imelda Almqvist

Looking and Seeing: Dissolving Divisions and Boundaries
A lifetime of making and studying art has taught me that there is a world of difference between looking and seeing. Assuming that we are not visually impaired, we like to think that we see what we look at. In reality we see mostly what we think is there. Our own mind plays tricks on us.

A Profound Truth: Be Conscious of What You Ask For

By Alan Cohen
Alan Cohen

A Profound Truth: Be Conscious of What You Ask For
You can pray for something specific and get it. Or you can pray for a quality of life, and get that. Praying for specifics is risky, for you are dictating a form. Praying for essence guarantees reward, for you are seeking an energy. Emerson noted that a wise man in a storm prays not for the end of the storm, but for the end of fear.

Something Is Happening: What If It's All About Love?
Everywhere, around the world, in every culture, individuals are responding to an awakening impulse that is resonating throughout the universe and impacting our consciousness in every moment, waking and sleeping.
