Most people never consider their personal narrative, the story of their life as it currently rests somewhere deep within their psyche. However, evidence suggests that there may be no more powerful determinant of your experience, including how happy you are.
 

How stories affect your perception of the world around you

One study reported by scienceNOW demonstrated that the brain's sensory regions (parts of the brain active when we pay attention to the outside world) were inactive when subjects were listening to literal language. However, when listening to metaphorical language – stories that described the outside world – the brain's sensory regions activated.

"When you become aware of your personal story," said Jake Eagle, co-founder of GreenPsychology.net, "you tap into the invisible force that quietly guides your worldview and the direction your life takes.… Read the rest

One problem with making paper from trees — or even recycling paper — is the water and energy use needed for the manufacturing process.

A ton of virgin paper creates 16,000 gallons of contaminated waste water; a recycled ton of paper creates 9,000 gallons of waste. It also takes a lot of energy to make paper.

But, what if paper could be made of stone? FiberStone paper has become an eco-friendly alternative that uses 1/3 the energy of recycled paper and zero waste water. Best of all, the rock paper products are waterproof, like wax paper, grease-proof, and tear resistant.

Tree-free FiberStone brand papers use 80% calcium carbonate powder, a natural limestone that is 100% sustainable because it originates from and is returned to the earth. It is also the most abundant mineral on the Earth.

If you bought a sandwich wrapped in this paper, the wrapper would turn back to dust if left in the elements. Along with a variety of packaging material made of FiberStone, printable inkjet paper and labels are also available.… Read the rest

The creation process of artificial tissue is a complex and expensive process. In order to build 3D structures such as a kidney or lung, a printer is used to assemble cells into whichever shape is wanted. For this to happen, the printer creates a sheet of bio-paper which is cell-friendly. Afterwards, it prints out the living cell clusters onto the paper. After the clusters are placed close to one another, the cells naturally self-organize and morph into more complex tissue structures. The whole process is then repeated to add multiple layers with each layer separated by a thin piece of bio-paper.… Read the rest

Thought as always is a creative power, and as you envision yourself so you manifest what you want to be.
 

When you begin to live in the Light you draw harmony and balance into your life, and it is part of your transition to a higher level of expression.
 

Pride has its place in life and there is certainly nothing wrong with being proud of your achievements. In fact where some individuals are concerned it comes from the desire to be cleansed on all levels, as part of becoming more of the Light. Cleanliness and tidiness is a sign of a mindset that desires to present that person as looking to bring perfection into their life. It is caring about self and having respect for the temple that you call your body, which is your physical vehicle throughout life. Thought as always is a creative power, and as you envision yourself so you manifest what you want to be. When you begin to live in the Light you draw harmony and balance into your life, and it is part of your transition to a higher level of expression.… Read the rest

                            I went to a party and was speaking with other people about the "love of their lives."  Many had blamed the other person for their sorrow and the changes that had to occur because of their interlude with them.  We know we have evolved when we can see that these were necessary for our blueprint.  The ego can argue all it wants that it was this or that persons fault but it changes nothing and you are stagnating until you understand the blessing they truly were.   In having relationships we essentially catch sight of who we are.  In doing so we allow or disallow the freedom of learning this process.   Each person becomes our teacher not negatively but to propel us onward, to excel to a higher level.  There is a time for arrival and a time for departure.  Let this be natural in all your interactions.   There is nothing to force or to add guilt to a persons consiousness.   Withholding love due to insecurity is not a solution either.   Prevent analyzing and emphasize the ebb and flow of life without controlling the outcome of a situation.  Love is accessible in every moment, in every decision.  It will prevent being ill-mannered when associations alter.   With integritiy love is eternal.… Read the rest

The warmest and deepest of loving blessings extends from
my soul to all of creation on the Earth. My fondness and devotion for
the Earth and its humanity is abundant and pours forth with tremendous
intensity.

I am Lady Mary, also known as Mother Mary, Archangel Mary
and the Virgin Mary. I am currently acting as overseer of the energy of
joy and soul exploration of a blue green colour named the ninth ray of
the Creator’s soul. It is the energy of joy that I adore placing or
activating from within the hearts of humanity; my sacred friends on the
Earth. It is through the energy, experience and embodiment of joy that
we can connect on a deeper level with the light and sacred guidance of
the Creator, manifesting ourselves as a truth that is immensely pure. It
doesn’t matter how joy develops whether it manifests through physical
or spiritual experiences, it is the presence of joy that is essential,
with a true energy of joy bubbling from within you. Joy is healing,
uplifting, energising and holds the power of aligning you with the
Creator’s soul.… Read the rest
