The spiritual activist is our natural state of pre mind controlled being. The being who has not been pacified by indoctrination to the ways of the status quo. Who has not sought to identify with the spirit alone – or with the warrior alone – but quite naturally finds that he/she is, by sheer dint of being human, is both these. How our world would rejoice should this breed of actor emerge at the forefront of the affairs of man!
“Why do good things happen to bad people — and so many bad things happen to good people?” It sometimes feels like we’re living in a perpetual opposite day, where “Love yourself not your neighbor” seems to be the golden rule and “Take and you shall receive” appears to be the principle of abundance.

Have you heard about “your vibration” but you’d like to know more about it? Here’s what your vibration is, and why it’s important to raise your vibration!
You may have noticed that our world is dualistic in nature. The Universe is always coming into balance with itself; forever infinite, forever expanding and pure Consciousness. We live in a world of extremes and what we perceive to be opposites. Up & down, black & white, alive & dead, abundant & scarce, etc. are all examples of common opposites. And it is through the use and actions around these opposites that the forces of nature and creation play, fight and dance to find and regain balance in all forms of matter and existence. But what if I told it was all an illusion?
Words have incredible power. I’d like to share three little words that can unlock your inner magic.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “emotionally charged” before and there’s a literal aspect to that phrase as emotion are energy and do carry a particular charge. While the true ends of the spectrum are only fear and only love, emotions can appear multifaceted. An emotion such as anger comes from fear, for example while an emotion such as joy comes from love. Anger, while horrible to experience yourself or to be at the receiving end of someone else’s, is simply telling us there is a lot of pain present. People who hurt others were most likely hurt badly themselves as some point and until healed, the cycle continues. So, how do use emotion to help us live better lives and stop being so reactive?

What was stunning was that the Olympic level meditators, these are people who have done up to 62,000 lifetime hours of meditation, their brainwave shows gamma very strong all the time as a lasting trait just no matter what they’re doing. It’s not a state effect, it’s not during their meditation alone, but it’s just their every day state of mind.
Anger does serve a purpose, and so it is important to allow yourself to be angry when you need to be. However, when your anger isn’t serving you, try out one of these quick techniques to raise your vibration.
Given the times we are in, it makes sense that some of us feel down and experience a sense of helplessness or dread. However, infusing inspiration into our lives could help us to protect our own mental health while we continue to fight for our moral values and adhere to doing what’s right. Here are five ways to restore your faith in humanity.
The ‘Empowerment’ word pops up all over the place these days and is used in all sorts of different contexts. I’ll explain my definition of conscious empowerment and show you how you can enjoy happiness and fulfillment, make a difference and change the world by living an empowered life.
Growing up, our caregivers and culture teach us that it’s bad to be in our lower chakras and good to be in our upper chakras (or the heart and above) where love and spirituality resides. This kind of socialization causes us to relegate our strong lower chakra and our weak upper chakra qualities into the shadow realm and pretend that they are not a part of us. And this pretending causes us to lose a lot of our chakra power.
It all comes down to the choices you make, and when you are aware of Samskaras, you can give yourself the power to actually overcome them and make it work for you in your favor. The simple yet seemingly near impossible task is to simply stop choosing. Get to a point of neutrality about or around whatever it is that has this control or power over you. It’s not so much about reacting on your emotions as it is acknowledging them, accepting them, and allowing them to freely flow by as they were meant to do. It is only when we grasp and pull and hang onto our emotion do they cause us pain, confusion, etc.
A town in Mexico recently celebrated seven years since kicking out the corrupt narco government and reverting back to an indigenous form of self-governance. In the town of Cherán, in Michoacán, Mexico, a system of traditional indigenous law-enforcement and accountability continues to guide the people. In early 2011, residents of Cherán created armed militias to fight off illegal logging and drug cartels in their community. The community kicked out politicians and police accused of ties to the drug cartels and began a new system of governance based on Purhépecha traditions.
