1 Giant Leap and "What About Me?" Asks: "Does Money Make You Rich?"

The All and the Everything

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… Continue

Share the Earth to Establish Justice and to Have peace

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… Continue

Those Beautiful Eyes by Ann Cowart Lutzky



"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… Continue

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

Nature's Pharmacy of Therapeutic Gemstones - Chakra Balancing

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… Continue

A member of the media uses a Geiger counter at Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima, Japan, February 23.

Tainted: Can California solve pot's pesticide problem? | The Cannifornian

The big difference will be the amount of pesticides in your weed. That’s because starting Jan. 2,  when California’s vast legal marijuana market opens, all cannabis must be tested — and most chemicals will be banned. Much of California’s cannabis is tainted, including the “medicinal” stuff. But soon state-sanctioned weed may become the greenest in the nation.
