“Each of us has the power and responsibility to heal ourselves, to be our own medicine man or woman. Awakening our innate powers of being, loving, knowing, seeing, and healing involves ongoing work at all levels and in all dimensions of our self. Exploring the range of rhythms and emotions, achieving insights into our conditioning and ego, moving through the energy levels of spirit—these are all activities to be integrated into our daily lives.” ~Gabrielle Roth
“Some beings have had enough of experiencing. Their urge for freedom is very strong now. That company I find most alive. At some point, many relationships become worn out and tired. They mostly begin to fall away. Do not grieve. Do you honestly want to find those old conversations interesting again? A voice within says: Come fully inside. Come lay down here in the silence of Being. If there is a sadness, it will be to spend our life in separation from our inmost being.” ~Mooji

In 3 minutes, John Perkins explains why we call a dollar a “buck” and why it is so important we vote with our buck every day. A Sustainable Man movie remix with a surprise ending…
Heard John Perkins speak at the Lightning in a Bottle Festival. It was truly inspirational and I totally agree with him on how we are voting with our dollar so we should choose wisely on where we spend it.
“Each time the losses and deceptions of life teach us about impermanence, they bring us closer to the truth. When you fall from a great height, there is only one possible place to land: on the ground , the ground of truth. And if you have the understanding that comes from spiritual practice, then falling is in no way a disaster, but the discovery of an inner refuge.” ~Sogyal Rinpoche
Someone put You on a slave block and the unreal bought You. Now I keep coming to your owner saying “This one is mine.” You often overhear us talking and this can make your heart leap with excitement. Don’t worry, I will not let sadness possess you. I will gladly borrow all the gold I need to get you back. ~Hafiz
“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.” ~ Carl Sagan

“When everything is subject to money, then the scarcity of money makes everything scarce, including the basis of human life and happiness. Such is the life of the slave—one whose actions are compelled by threat to survival. Perhaps the deepest indication of our slavery is the monetization of time.” ~ Charles Eisenstein, Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition
“The way other people practiced a sport, learned a dance, I sat with feelings to learn who I am.” ~ S. Kelley Harrell, Gift of the Dreamtime: Awakening to the Divinity of Trauma

“The new paradigm, the new model of existence will arise from a community that needs no governing at all. From a people whose conscious, energetic, unmediated connection to the benevolence of their creation translates through the prism of their daily existence as a natural propensity towards unity and cooperation – inspired to give and receive love in all that they do. The new model of existence will not be born of the mind as a theory. It will be understood in the mind, felt in the heart, made tangible in the body, and birthed into time and space through Frequency.” ~Juliet Carter
