Gnosis: The Not-So-Secret History of Jesus by Jonathan Talat Phillips

The Nag Hammadi Library supported the popular theory that Christianity stemmed from the ancient mystery school traditions of the Mediterranean, which featured “dying and resurrecting godmen.” In Egypt they worshipped Horus; in Greece, Dionysus; in Syria, Adonis; in Asia Minor, Attis; in Persia (and later Rome), Mithras; and in Israel, Jesus (historically the most recent). The similarities among these hierophants were uncanny. Several of them, according to the legends, were born around the winter solstice to a virgin in humble surroundings with a star in the Eastern sky…”

The Silence of the Mind: Experiencing the Mystery of the Present Moment by Ilie Cioara

| by Ilie Cioara

“In the whole Universe, there is nothing static, dead or frozen. Everything, but absolutely everything, is in eternal movement. Even within the so-called still nature reigns the same intrinsic law of movement… In order to be able to encounter the newness of the aliveness in its movement, we must come out and greet it the same way. Thus, we don’t return to the past, to what happened, nor do we project ourselves into the future, in pursuit of an imaginary purpose or ideal to fulfill.”

Prayer by Jocelyn Graef: Part 11 in Great Awakening

| by Jocelyn Graef

“Prayer is essentially like your telephone to spirit. It is one method of speaking to God as well as those dear ones in spirit who perhaps have left the body, or those who serve you from spirit as your guides and guardian angels… Prayer is not just an outpouring to a source outside of you, but also a realigning within you. When you are praying with a deep and soul centered longing for something, you are at same time creating within the ability to partner with the end result. “

Beware of These Organic Brands by Dr. Mercola

Another report recently published by the Cornucopia Institute investigated “all natural” and organic cereal brands. Shockingly, their independent third-party testing revealed that many trusted natural brands contain genetically modified (GM) corn and soybeans–including brands enrolled in the Non-GMO Project… Two breakfast cereal products that are currently enrolled in the Non-GMO Project, Barbara’s Bakery’s Puffins and Whole Foods’ 365® Corn Flakes, contained more than 50 percent GM corn… Meanwhile, the research control Cornucopia used, Nature’s Path® USDA certified organic corn flakes, contained only trace amounts of GM contamination (less than 0.5 percent).”

Schizophrenic Idealism by Bernardo Kastrup

| by Bernardo Kastrup

“…Ultimately, the dichotomy idealism-versus-realism may be no dualism at all. To say that everything is a construct within a mind is not to deny any of the qualities of experience: the concreteness, solidity, or continuity of things. This form of monistic idealism does not deny physics insofar as the latter entails models for predicting how things behave empirically; it only denies some of our ontological assumptions about how our experience of such behaviors comes into being…”
