Looking to help create change on the planet? This is your opportunity to be one of the approximately 6,000 more signatures that Susan Sarandon needs to send a message to the Big Banks behind DAPL. By this point we are certainly all well aware of what is happening with the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) at Standing Rock. But for those who have been living under a metaphorical rock, the DAPL is a $3.7 billion project that intends to create a 1,172 mile pipeline spanning four U.S. states. Thankfully, this unscrupulous and financially-driven business endeavour has not gone without protest, as thousands have shown up from all over the world to voice their opposition. Some members of the CE team even spent several days on the front lines earlier this month to both provide some much needed media coverage and to experience firsthand what has now become one of the most notable protests in human history. While out there, we were able to connect with several recognizable celebri...

JP Sears is a comedic Internet sensation, he is well known for poking fun at various aspects within the truth or new age movement with light-hearted humor! He shows us that it can be fun to laugh at ourselves sometimes! In regards to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and everything being done by water protectors at Standing Rock, Sears does a great job at showcasing the irony of the argument and laying out some very important details about what the oil companies are dealing with -which is in no way even close to everything that those standing at Standing Rock are having to deal with. Not that it’s about comparing, but simply because it helps us to see the truth of the matter. He points to some eye-opening facts about the legalities surrounding this issue and shows us the amount of injustice that is truly taking place. Check Out The Video Here are some highlights of what was said in the video to showcase just how unfair this really is: “These oppressors have no respect for the ...

Thousands upon thousands of personal development and spirituality books fill the shelves of your local book store. While they all offer wonderful food for thought, here are 10 in particular that you shouldn’t miss out on.  The world of literature is a magical one. Despite being equipped with only words, books have the incredible ability to make us think, feel, and imagine new worlds. As an avid reader, I can think of a number of books that changed my life for the better. While many of these were works of fiction, I’d like to instead focus upon 10 largely nonfictional works devoted to personal development. While most that I will be listing have topped several best-seller lists at one point or another, an astonishing number of us have still never taken the time to read them. Here are 10 books that I believe have life changing potential: 1. Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives Way of the Peaceful Warrior is an autobiographical novel written by Dan M...

Protests breaking out in cities across the country. Violence. Vandalism. Closed highways and bridges. American flags burning, students being beaten by classmates. Assaults in broad daylight. Families divided. These are just some of the news reports following the United States presidential election that revealed Donal Trump will govern the country for at least the next four years. It was called one of the biggest political upsets in recent history. But what does this violence, this “upset,” really mean? Anonymous recently released a new video titled “Message to America” that brings a refreshing and urgent perspective to the aftermath of this election: We have learned that America is at a point of choosing. The media will say it is about choosing a president. But it really isn’t. Our real choice is personal, and every generation must make the same choice. Will we continue to live in the past with what we know no longer works, or will we move forward to a new and better place...

Article by: Luke Miller of Truth Theory . Before I start this article I just want to say this is my interpretation of things; I could be wrong and I don’t claim to hold the ultimate truth, but here is the way I see it. The word bird in its numerical form creates the number 33, which is a master number. A lot of ancient Egyptian images combine the bird and human form. The words human, woman, and man all equal 3 when using sutra digit maths. So to me, the number of man/woman/human and bird is 333, which is mind, body, and spirit unification. It also equals 9, and also 6 (33) and 3. The 9 represents the end of an era, as we are currently in 2016, which is 2+0+1+6=9. But don’t worry: We are not all going to turn into birds! This is simply a metaphor. However, take a moment to consider this past year. In comparison to other years, have you seen a lot of things ending? 6 and 3 both represent the triangle, as the 3 times table using sutra digit maths produces the pattern of 3,6,9 rep...

H ave you ever considered that only the moment of Now exists truly? There is no past, only memories, and there is no future either, only imaginations – the past and future are psychological concepts. Still, we tend to ponder over the remains of the past, or worry about times to come. We are wandering in the past and future, yet we are only unconsciously present at where we really are: here and now ! Oh, how marvelous of a feeling it is to go hiking on your day off after an exhausting week of work. You play volleyball, football, stir and taste the soup, your face is caressed gently by the warm sunshine, the lawn is soft and smooth, the birds are chirping, everything is wonderful. You are carefree, you enjoy the moments of existence. You don’t ruminate on the past, don’t picture the future, but you are there, you live, you are shining with joy. But what pain it is, when the Sun sets, you arrive home and the beautiful experience ends. Your head is buzzing and filled again with innume...

The ancient practice of meditation – particularly mindfulness meditation – has recently surged in popularity. In fact, in the US about 8% of adults and 1.6% of children have tried it already. This is because the health benefits of mindfulness meditation are incredibly impressive… and supported by scientific studies. This article explores the health conditions and diseases it may help with. What is Mindfulness Meditation? Meditation is the ancient practice of connecting the body and mind to become more self-aware and present ( 1 ). There is a range of different meditation styles, but the most popular are: Focused Attention (Vipassana) Transcendental Mindfulness. Most techniques emerged from a religious or spiritual context, but most now practice outside of these traditional settings. Mindfulness is a specific approach that can be used alone or with other meditation techniques. It’s most commonly defined as “pay...

‘Tis the season for lying to small children. Santa Claus and his mythical arrival with abundant toys and other goodies is looming on the horizon. Parents will be busy portraying myth as reality, instead of accepting Santa as an explicit rather than disguised symbol of generosity and compassion. It’s all in the name of creating “magic” and promoting innocence for children. It’s exciting to perpetuate a lie that gets kids excited about the holiday while also using Saint Nick’s holiday visit as a handy tool for manipulating behavior. It must be tough keeping up the Santa facade. Lying to cover up lies. Concocting elaborate stories to answer honest questions from the inquiring minds of children. There’s always the possibility that someone else’s kids will tip them off, that they’ll find the hidden presents too early, that there will be a lot of explaining to do. Now someone else has come along to complicate the lies even further,  Elf on the Shelf . For the unfamiliar (Se...

In my experience, few common injuries are more debilitating than those affecting our back. It’s one of those things where you don’t realize how much you rely on something until it’s no longer supporting you, and then even the most ordinary of actions become deliberate, uncomfortable choices. What makes back pain even more frustrating is that it can be caused by even the simplest of actions, such as picking something up incorrectly or sitting incorrectly for an extended period of time. Since we all need to do these behaviours regularly, avoiding potential back pain triggers seems nearly impossible, and the below back pain statistics — courtesy of the American Chiropractic Association  —would seem to support that notion: Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the  Global Burden of Disease 2010 . Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work.  In fact, back pain is the second most common reason for vi...

Around the world, alcohol is often seen as an acceptable beverage in moderation, and even accepted in excess. And while it’s a drug, it’s typically not referred to as such, since “drugs” seem to fall into a taboo category that have caused many of them to be outlawed altogether. But why do we put alcohol on a pedestal and others, like psychedelics, in such a dark place? A 2014 Vice article titled  Why Are Psychedelics Illegal? by Tao Lin put this interesting dichotomy into perspective by pointing out why psychedelics are illegal: “Terence McKenna viewed cannabis, psilocybin, DMT, LSD, and other psychedelics as ‘catalysts of intellectual dissent.’ He wrote in The Archaic Revival (1991) that his assumption about psychedelics had always been that they were illegal ‘not because it troubles anyone that you have visions’ but because ‘there is something about them that casts doubts on the validity of reality.’ This makes it difficult, McKenna observed, for societies—even democrat...
