It is through each of us that wisdom is shared with all beings of Earth. Each new awareness that we awaken to, awakens into the collective consciousness. All that I already know has been brought forth from the collective consciousness, a continuum of life experiencing itself through a different portal of expression, me.
Living to become the best I can be serves not only myself but all of humanity.
This symbiotic and synergistic relationship is true between myself and…

My studies in economics lead me to believe that it is entirely possible to have the world work for everyone through establishment of simple economic justice.
I am a student of the economic theories of Henry George, the 19th century American political economist and social philosopher. He asked the question in his best known work, Progress and Poverty: why is there so much poverty amid so much wealth and wealth producing capacity. The answer he gave convinced me that sharing the earth…

Fall & Winter Vegetable Planting Guide.
Fall and Winter gardening, although an old practice, is an excellent solution for keeping the tilth and fertility of your garden's soil at its peak levels. At the same time it yields crops of delicious vegetables throughout the fall and winter that cost a fraction of produce purchased in the supermarket.

"Dumuzi stood waiting.
In the doorway of her house
Inanna appeared before him, shining.
She opened the door.
The Daughter of the Moon was shining.
His eye beheld her.
His heart rejoiced.
He brought her to him.
Like a medal of precious lapis or gold,
Placed close against his heart.
He kissed her."
- from The Twenty-One Hymns of Orom
This is an ancient tale and a…

Friends:
While the candidates pose and blather, has any one noticed that during the last 2 weeks;

2. Did anyone hear that another $600 million was just passed, oh so quietly, by the Demo-controlled Congress to…

Who wouldn't want to be drenched in therapeutic quality gemstones?
Therapeutic gemstones are gifts from the mineral kingdom, as are all gemstones. To qualify as therapeutic quality or grade, several requirements must be met. The processes by which the gems are mined, cut, drilled, and assembled are included in this criterion. The stone itself must also meet specific requirements of clarity, purity, shape and color. Certainly how the stone is used makes a difference as…
