by Bruce Nixon - Free PDF download available (see below) The purpose of an economy should be the wellbeing of all. We’re all interdependent, humans and other life on the planet. People everywhere share the same need for love, happiness, security, good work, freedom, community and involvement in decisions affecting them. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Today, this is far from being the case. Continue reading The Economics of Wellbeing »       by Niánn Emerson Chase Recently I had a conversation with someone who works for a corporation that is striving to control seed production and other agricultural farming methods worldwide, which would destroy all other avenues and alternatives of agriculture that include organic and more sustainable, effective methods of growing food for people. This individual stated that he was so grateful that he still had his job, a job he has had for fifteen years. I asked this man what his thoughts were on the controversy about the lack of ethical practices of the company he works for. His face had a blank look on it; he did not understand why I was asking the question. I informed him of what I generally knew of this particular corporation and my concerns for what it represented, which was contradictive of values of truly sustainable practices that take into consideration the natural world systems, healthy human cultures, and the overall well-being of humans and the bioregions in which they live. I went on to point out that this corporation and others like it are destructive of that which is in divine pattern and truly sustainable for the planetary web of life that is now endangered by the practices and policies of these unethical, profit-only-motivated companies. Continue reading The Cost of Compromise and the Need for Change Agents » by Catriona MacGregor Three Things That You Can Do to Transform the Planet and Your Life The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes. In this age of scientific triumph, our daily connection with the Earth has diminished alarmingly. We are cut off from nature, separate from the animals and plants that surround us, making us strangers in our own home. We miss the subtle changes in the wind, the calls of birds, the smell of the fragrant Earth beneath our feet, the wonder of seeing the brilliant stars in the night sky, and the peace that pervades from a deep tranquil pool of water. We spend more time indoors or commuting, leaving little time for deep inner journeys or quiet walks in the woods even though who we are and what we are—the very root of our identity—is best defined in relation to nature and other living things. Continue reading This Earth Day: Adopt a New Paradigm »  a book review by Gerard Aartsen In his book, former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer calls for a truer, broader view of reality, one which embraces the fact of our interplanetary brotherhood of humanity, and acknowledges the serious threats to human survival on planet Earth. Published here courtesy of Share International magazine. Former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer instantly rose to fame within the circles of disclosure and exopolitics activists when he declared, in a speech at the Exopolitics Toronto Symposium in September 2005, that “UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying overhead” and that “the veil of secrecy must be lifted”.

As a seeker in this universe of possibilities and information, I come to you with the intention of share my experiences and my knowledge. I wrote a book, “Interview with Gods”, which through a fictional story seeks to bring a new way to view, analyze and think about our lives and all living beings which surround us, providing us this wonderful opportunity to participate in all natural processes that sustain this universe. Continue reading Interview with Gods – The eBook » This forum doesn’t generally involve itself in party politics, however, there is one issue on which we feel we ought to appeal from a Spiritual perspective to our friends in Great Britain who are currently in the process of choosing a new government. Though we have many issues with the current administration we congratulate it for introducing a ban on the hunting of wild animals with dogs, effectively outlawing the barbaric practice of fox hunting. Sadly, the Conservative Party – which is widely tipped to win the election – is committed to repealing this ban and re-introducing blood “sports”. Continue reading Voting to protect animal life » We all love our animals. Many people ask me, as a medical intuitive, if their beloved pets make it to heaven. The answer is, “Yes, they do!” Animals are on a different vibratory level than humans, and before you are quick to pass judgment, I must emphasize that they are on a higher, not lower plane! Animals do not contend with ego like humans do. Also, many animals vibrate to the color green which is the color of teaching and unconditional love. Continue reading Animal and Human Connections » By Randy Wysong From a purely biological perspective, no creature inherently has rights beyond that which it has the power to impose. What is able to survive does, what cannot does not. But our world is not just biology. It is ethics as well. “Might makes right” cannot be the operating paradigm in a world where freedom, compassion, humanity, and love are desired. Nor are we removed from consideration of the rights of other creatures just because we are paying somebody else to create drugs, scent a deodorant, or raise our food. Continue reading Animal Rights – How We Treat Animals Reflects Who We Are » Vote Earth For Earth Hour  In December 2009 world leaders meet in Copenhagen to agree on a post-Kyoto policy for tackling climate change. One billion people voting with their light switch during Earth Hour on March 28 will create a powerful mandate for our leaders to take strong and decisive action on climate change in Copenhagen.
