“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”

Turquoise Howlite Merkaba Stone

Merkabah, also spelled Merkaba, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.

Howlite is a very calming stone, which is excellent for those suffer from insomnia.  It teaches patience and helps to calm rage and uncontrolled anger.  It also dissipates restlessness and anxiety.

“So become more and more loving, and you will become more and more joyful. And don’t be bothered about whether your love is returned or not; that is not the point at all. Joy follows love automatically, whether it is returned or not, whether the other is responsive or not. If you are loving, you are joyful, and that is more than enough, more than one can expect. That is the beauty of love – that its result is intrinsic, its value is intrinsic. It does not depend on the response of the other. It is totally yours.”
— Osho

It's about expansion, not contraction right now... mental and otherwise, but mostly mental. Whole new levels of consciousness are opening up. You might feel ungrounded; if that happens go for a walk on the grass, eat a steak, or hold some hematite. :)

African states are too much powerful against local powers. In western countries, we can only have democracy because the powers have been separated and deconcentrated, and the state money redistributed from the state to local governements. We would not have democracy if we did not have strong municipalities organized with people that we know, and where we can always scrutinize what is happening with the money managed locally, or to decide what are the important investment for local needs, and adapt the priorities. And even in this case, we also need lots of private organizations and freedm to create a new one, without having to pay any tax : associations/federations and lots of non-profit can proliferate and become partners involved in local democracy.

We can criticize a lot the effects of colonialism, but the true tragedy in Africa today are the effect of an too accelerated decolonialization, where a powerful ruling force of law and army deserted the place to be replaced by a state that could be corrupted easily by international companies.

Karma and the Higher Self

Posted on October 27, 2012

There is a part of you that is conscious of more than what you currently perceive via your senses. We’ll call it your higher self. This “you” is not defined by your physical body, nor does it consist of your thoughts and beliefs. Although everything in the universe is connected and at some point in one’s journey it can be beneficial to ponder the concepts of “one” and “universal consciousness,” this higher awareness to which I refer comprises a discrete aspect of your individual personality.
Have you ever wondered, what’s the benefit of karma if it manifests itself across many different lifetimes? What is the point of causal relationship if we cannot perceive the effects? For example, if a child suffering from abuse at the hands of his parents is actually Hitler reincarnated, what does the child gain from all this? Does the entity that used to be Hitler have any awareness that he’s now a child, receiving his just punishment for killing millions of Jews?
The answer lies in the higher self and in the way we’re conditioned to define ourselves.
More to come…
