    Beef cattle have been trampling tropical rainforestland for years (our fault not theirs). The good news i read somewhere is that reforestation is really picking up these days.

    Jeepers Carmody our cattle, dairy and beef live on grass all year round. And there is absolutely no need to be cutting down rainforest to be feeding cattle either! Holistic management and mob grazing can bring back deserts to fine grasslands again but it takes stock to do it. Desertification is caused by taking stock off land and also set stocking the land. This can be reversed by replicating how the great herds moved naturally a hundred years ago.

    Also there is no shortage of land in America for stock to graze on. There are so many absentee owners. Budding farmers can lease land for next to nothing from all reports. And using Holistic Management methods can make a good profit.

    Is it possible – Or even desirable – To be mentally prepared for Apocalypse?
    Via Waking Times, August 5 2013 - It should be very clear by now, to most thoughtful people, that we are well down the road of engineered collapse. Some might argue that we are already in the manifestation of ‘the end of days’.

    The rest on the link.
    Transient info is worth a daily check

    As I speak my truth I must be prepared,
    For others to feel, react, and share,
    If I can get over feeling threatened and scared,
    I will learn the lessons Life has for me there.

    Did you feel that new Moon in Leo? Now get ready for Mercury to go into the fire and square Saturn this week! Remember that things are not as bad as they look/feel during these transits. It can be a time of deep reflection and new understanding if you take the time and have the determination to stick it out. The Friday Moon/Venus conjunction will lighten it up and some fireworks may fly when She moves into Libra Saturday......Injoy!

    Whatever the "end of days" is supposed to be, to me it marks merely transition.
    There is no end, and there won't be a collective mass dying event.

    Before I turned spiritual I lived a city life, full of stress and ambition,
    only caring about worldly things and my own success.
    Then came my awakening, and I knew I could not continue my old patterns. That was in the late seventies.
    So the adjustment to my rebirth, the letting go of old habits, which I knew did not serve me well,
    was really rather painful. But there was no end, ever. Only new beginnings.

    Now Im living a life free from desires, always grateful,
    and with the ability to manifest all that I need. Serene.
    When I have a spell of discontent it's my lower self pining for the cheap thrills of my earlier life.
    Knowing this I just ignore that voice, and get back to the Here and Now, my true home.
    Ok, that's the story of one individual.

    What is happening in the world at large is that the time has come for the collective
    to go through the same type of transition, for humanity to wake up,
    and experience such a period of massive changes, one individual at a time.

    But it's not the end of the world, never. It is 'childhood's end', or the end of adolescence,
    and the beginning of humanity becoming mature.

    The meteors, tidal waves, comets, etc, are all inner dimensional harbingers of the changes which will happen as people make their adjustments on a large scale. Businesses will close, new relationships will be formed, house moves, etc...
    Change change change.

    Once I got safely to the other side, the life Im now living, I had to thank the divine hand for the miraculous guidance
    that was made available during the darkest moments of my transition years. It became obvious that a higher intelligence knew what it was doing.

    The same is now true for humanity at large. Mankind will not be left alone, to die, but must pass through these tests and trials to have its diverse limbs cemented together, to become one being.

    Ulli, thank you for sharing that perspective-- but it was just the encouraging reminder I needed to read today as I forge through this life transition cycle. Or as I like to call it the "Hamster Wheel". Eventually, I'll figure out how to jump off

    here ya go. Run fast enough and eventually you'll get thrown off. The question then becomes, do I get back on?

    ~Amanda
    It took me years and years to learn that the way to jump off the hamster wheel is by an act of willingness to be happy.
    In the past I had always wanted outside influences to change my state of mind,
    but I learnt finally that it has to come from within.
    In the end I could not even use my chemistry as an excuse for those depressions.
    It was simply my old self kicking and screaming...
    and negative thinking, cynicism, pessimism, bad outlook on life.
    So I shut it up with the occasional gummy bear bag, or ice cream.

    But just step into happiness was tough, and humor finally did it for me.
    The wheel is still spinning now, but the hamster is dead.

    I wish I could read it again. I made several attempts, but my transformation took away my patience for books.

    Im an internet freak now.

    But at least it had the effect to speed up my ability to absorb and learn.

    Ulli,

    A bigger "thank you" for this post than simply hitting the "Thanks" button is warranted. Cyberhug and cyber high-five and a great big "thank you!"

    speaking of hamsters, and wheels

    this one never fails

    we've all seen it before, still funny though.


    hahahahahahhaah

    I think I'll post this on Fazebook, as a political race.

    Thanks!

    Be my guest. Those are not my hamsters.
    Besides, they love a good spin...hehe...

    . Or as I like to call it the "Hamster Wheel". Eventually, I'll figure out how to jump off

    here ya go. Run fast enough and eventually you'll get thrown off.
    The question then becomes, do I get back on?
    Nnnnooooooooooooo!!! : )

    Just because, or for no reason at all...best cranked



    It's a long way to nowhere
    and i'm leaving very soon
    on the way we pass so close
    to the back side of the moon
    hey join the traveler if you got nowhere to go
    hang your head and take my hand
    it's the only road i know
    oh! lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah!
    i've been higher than stardust
    i've been seen upon the sun
    i used to count in millions then
    but now i only count in one
    come on, join the traveler
    if you got nowhere to go
    hang your head and take my hand
    it's the only road i know
    yeah, lonely is the word
    got to be the saddest song i ever heard
    yeah, lonely is the name
    maybe life's a losing game

    Free will can only be as free as the mind that conceives it.
