Remineralize the Earth

Don Weaver is a man with a mission. He has worked tirelessly to spread information about the importance of remineralization for the earth. Through years of bad soil management, important vital nutrients have been lost, and the quality of our food has suffered greatly. As the food chain goes, so go we, and with a lack of elements that are meant to work with our bodies to insure our health and the health of our planet, we see the results of a deteriorating and adulterated food supply. The natural world is being destroyed through greed, ignorance, and harmful policies that ignore the ecosystem’s natural rhythm. However, there is hope. Through use of glacial dust, the health of the soil can be restored and revitalized.  

We’ve been told that in order to have the best vegetables, we need to fertilize and spray for pests. We’ve been told that we need exterminators to eliminate insects from our gardens and our world. Yet, all the pesticides and herbicides do NOT bring about a healthy environment. Their products do not insure better crops or pest free living. They merely poison our food supply, deplete and poison our soil, and cause a weakening to the entire eco-system. Marketing and advertising are nothing more than forms of mass manipulation, and we’ve been sold a bill of goods that endanger the future of our planet and ourselves.

At Remineralize the Earth you can see what is being done and what you can do to contribute to the health and wellbeing of our planet and ourselves. I encourage you to take a look!  http://remineralize.org/site/

The Moment

 A different perspective of living in the moment:

If we are bound by the moment it is like bondage to insanity...for the moment feels like everything, yet as in the case of sand, each moment is a granule shaping something of the future. And taken as a body, the sand is soft beneath our feet...provides a natural cushion between land and sea. But one granule taken on its own can be an irritant, just like the moment in our lives. There is not enough to provide a body of knowledge. And to see the moment as the whole is to miss the greater work unfolding.

So as we are persuaded that what we experience in the dimness or greatness of the moment is all there is, we must extend ourselves to embrace a larger reach of consciousness. Time is the conduit through which all moves in this dimension. And it is only through time that the greater picture of our lives will emerge and be revealed.

The moment...the granule...one at a time.

Tending the Mind

When we recognize that the mind is like a garden, we become aware of the necessity to care for it tenderly. As we tend it, so will it flourish. If we ignore the ritual of daily nourishment, the mind will grow of its own volition...moving towards that which is least demanding. As we learn the principles of gardening, we can translate them to the growing of mind, for the mind swells with loving discipline. It is ennobled through structures that offer parameters for constructive growth, and blooms in response to the efforts made to that end.

A mind that is tended daily through prayer, meditation, and affirmation has greater likelihood of becoming fertile ground for successful outcome. When the mind is left untended, it grows like a weed, opportunistically drawn to outlets of least resistance, and in this, there is margin for error. The mind is much too powerful and precious a resource to leave to chance. We must learn to become master gardeners, creating a setting where the most fragile seeds can grow with assuredness.

As we till the soil, we prepare the mind for growth. As we plant seeds rich in potential, we merge idea and physical receptivity together. And as we put in the necessary effort through emotional intent...we have completed a necessary three-part process to engage mind in constructive activity. Without the idea, there is nothing around which to work. Without the physical receptacle, there is no vehicle for expression. And without emotional participation, there is no fuel for the development of the concept being birthed. 

Overcoming Past Trauma

In a question and answer series with Inner Guidance, the following came in answer to someone's concern about being afraid and lost in the moment.

Q. Asking for your help, please.I have been feeling inadequate, insecure, scared, alone...cut off. Can your inner guidance give me any advice?

A. Who is scared? Who is cut off? Who is out of sorts? It isn't the "you" that you are, it is the elements from the past that have not been sorted through properly in order to release you from unwanted files that are subsuming your operating system. Just as you saw how the computer was slowed down and could not operate at full capacity, you see how having old outworn scripts that play over and over again at a sub-strata can totally disarm your good and keep you from accomplishing the good that most of you wants to do.

Q. So what is the solution?

A. Recognition is a key player. As you are aware of the subversive voice, rather than negotiating with it, treat it as you would a child that is operating in a drama cycle. You have to be the firm voice of authority ..not a punitive one, but very firmly and in command telling the terror that it is tied to an old incident and that the incident is over...so it no longer needs to see elements that may bring up some old feelings in the same way. That was that and then, and this is this and now! You do not need to recreate past trauma. Let it be done with. Declare it and do not give it attention. It is done, and so be it! These elements are phantoms of the past...they are born of a traumatic moment and lodged in a psychic imprint...so just as when you hear a song that reminds you of something profound in your life...or a love relationship....these work in the same way. Put the trauma to rest that the living may live unfettered and that your focus is today, the now, and creating a wonder filled future!

Codas For Living

There are codas for living. There is tempo and symmetry, art imitating life, life imitating art. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Move to the high calling of Love as your God. You call that which created you by different names, but in remembrance of The One, move beyond the barriers of limitation and litigation. Move to a lighter approach. Hold to humour in your heart rather than wrathful indignation. Life is an outreach program at its most intense and necessary level. Reach out to embrace one another, not to judge your differences.

Spirit is reached through many paths. Like the web on internet…religions become the servers who tap you into the great unified field. They may be necessary intermediate steps…but Spirit is the goal, the source of supply. As you consistently separate yourselves one from the other, you stifle the light of loving and the essence of Love. Stop! Stop in the name of One. I am your martyred son, your father, your brother, your spouse, your friend, your hero. I am an aspect of life, plucked in my prime, to show you a way. I am not the only way shower, I am one of many. But I am one. And I speak to you now because I can…and you might hear me.

The definition in my life was poignant. I had come to peace in my choices and the voices I followed. My path was in front of me and my focus was unwavering. I reached out to encompass everything, leaving no one or nothing behind. I found joy in my daily pursuits and had the love of a good family. Gratitude was my companion, and this is my legacy to you…the surviving ones. Make of life a celebration. Bring your gifts forward. Overcome your self-consciousness and attain your place in the unfolding tapestry that life is. Your portion is important. Only you can contribute it. Only you can restrict it. Follow my example and make of life a victory. That is the greatest medal I can achieve.

I died that you might live and live life abundantly. Overcome the temptation to limit your possibilities. Overcome the tendency to intellectualize yourselves. Just reach out like little children and ask for and give what is needed one to the other, one to the many, the many to the few, circling the globe with an unwavering commitment to Life for all.

TED Talk with Tony Robbins

Tony Robbins has made so many contributions to life that he has become a great role model in the sense of reminding us who we are and what we can be if we use our lives as incubators for potential rather than excuses for failure. This short TED talk is worth watching more than once.
