Monsanto Equals Crimes Against Humanity

Monsanto is a US company guilty of crimes against humanity...against YOU! Educate yourself.
Then share it with everyone you know. Then start visualizing a world where this kind of thing just doesn't happen anymore. Imagine a world where a corporation as large and as powerful as Monsanto starts to realize the amount of good it can actually do in this world...where fear, greed and impatience no longer rule over man. It all starts within us.

What Do You Believe In?

Had a conversation with someone I just met at a dinner party the other night. He was asking me about the Toltec path, "What is the most transformative thing you learned?" I responded that don Miguel's teaching not to believe everything he said, not to believe anybody else, and not to even believe myself was the most powerful teaching of all for me.

The man I was speaking with asked me, "then do you believe in nothing at all?" Excellent question. Because if my world still exists, then there is plenty I believe in. But what the doubt is really about is choice. I went on to explain that the teaching simply helps us to question everything so we don't blindly follow others or store our faith in outdated constructs that no longer serve us. It puts everything in doubt until we can experience it for ourselves or choose it with our full awareness.

This is the artistry of the spirit: choosing what to believe in, where to place our faith. I think I also said something about the teachings helping me to live the life I want. But something about that struck me as untrue after I said it. I felt like I was coming across as some ""Secret" you too can manifest the car of your dreams" fanatic.

That got me thinking, because the work IS about living the life you want. But the thing...the car, the house, the relationship...those things aren't really what I want. I want to be happy. I want to be free of suffering. The Toltec path has helped me to live a happier life. Now that's the life I want!
