For the First Time, Terminally Ill Cancer Patients Allowed to Use Magic Mushrooms to Treat Depression

The fact that any people have to get permission from their government to ingest a fungus that grows wildly in all corners of the globe is infuriating .
Even more infuriating , however , is the fact that terminally ill cancer patients have to get permission from their government to use mushrooms to treat their end-of-life distress .
Unfortunately , however , because of fear , ignorance , and complacency , this is the way things are .
So , when a government actually grants citizens permission to do with their bodies as they see fit , this is now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Johns Hopkins , have determined that psilocybin mushrooms are incredibly beneficial to those facing certain death .
The studies found that psilocybin produced substantial and sustained decreases in depression and anxiety in patients with life-threatening cancer and that mystical-type experiences on session days mediated the effect of psilocybin dose on therapeutic outcomes .
After waiting nearly four months , the government of Canada has granted permission to four terminally ill cancer patients to receive psilocybin therapy to treat their anxiety about dying — marking the first time that a legal exemption has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ access psychedelic substances for treatment .
In a sick twist of statistical irony , Canada legalized the “ right to die ” with assisted suicide in 2016 .
So , if these terminally ill cancer patients wanted to simply end their lives with assisted suicide , they could do so .
However , if they wanted to ingest a mushroom that makes them enjoy the last days of their lives , they would be thrown in a cage without this permission .
According to TheraPsil , an advocacy group for psilocybin therapy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individuals to receive a legal exemption from the Canadian Drugs and Substances Act to access psychedelic therapy .
They are also the first known patients to legally use psilocybin since the tyrannical state made it illegal in Canada in 1974 .
Laurie Brooks , another applicant from British Columbia facing end-of-life distress states : “ I want to thank the Health Minister and Health Canada for approving my request for psilocybin use .
The acknowledgement of the pain and anxiety that I have been suffering with means a lot to me , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a result .
I hope this is just the beginning and that soon all Canadians will be able to access psilocybin , for therapeutic use , to help with the pain they are experiencing , without having to petition the government for months to gain permission .
Thanks also to TheraPsil for helping the four of us in this fight .
To Thomas Hartel and the other two patients – I think of you often and wish you only good things , especially good health !
” Imagine a government that would tell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not have mushrooms that have shown incredible results in giving peace to the terminally ill — because “ it ’ s illegal.
” The state does not see the benefits of such medicine .
Instead , they only see the words scribbled on paper by ignorant and fearful people who once made them illegal .
For years , the Free Thought Project has been reporting on the beneficial effects of psilocybin mushrooms ranging from treating PTSD to addiction and depression .
In the land of the free , however , in all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cops will kidnap and cage you for having them .
But as this case illustrates , in Canada that facade is collapsing .
Canada has been leading the way in fighting psylocibin prohibition , going so far as to openly defy the law by selling mushrooms out of dispensaries online .
As TFTP reported last year , Dana Larsen knows he is not the first person to sell magic mushrooms online .
Psilocybin has long been available on the dark web and the non-psychoactive spores which can be used to cultivate psychedelic mushrooms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple online shops .
“ I ’ m definitely not the first person to sell mushrooms online , ” Larsen , founder of the online Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary says .
“ But I might be the first to put my name , face and reputation on the line for it.

But he ’ s doing it anyway , and successfully .
“ These are useful medical products that should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is paving the way for people who are now taking dangerous pharmaceuticals to transition into a much safer treatment .
The four terminally ill cancer patients will soon “ legally ” be able to reap the benefits of this incredible substance .
As TFTP reported , a study published in the scientific journal Neuropharmacology , found that clinically depressed people could benefit from psilocybin .
“ Psilocybin-assisted therapy might mitigate depression by increasing emotional connection , ” neuroscientist and study author Leor Roseman , a Ph.D. student at Imperial College London , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the exact opposite of how standard anti-depressants operate , as SSRI ’ s typically work by creating an “ emotional blunting.

“ I believe that psychedelics hold a potential to cure deep psychological wounds , and I believe that by investigating their neuropsychopharmacological mechanism , we can learn to understand this potential , ” explained Roseman .
The government also stands to lose if more people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choose to disobey .
As TFTP previously reported , mushrooms and psychedelics used to be widely accepted as a treatment for many ailments until the government moved in to stop the expansion of human consciousness .
In the 1940s , western medicine began realizing the potential for psychedelics to treat addiction and psychiatric disorders .

According to the study from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ London , published in the journal Psychopharmacology , psychedelic mushrooms tend to make people more resistant to authority .
They also found the psychedelic experience induced by these mushrooms also causes people to be more connected with nature .

The fact that any people have to get permission from their government to ingest a fungus that grows wildly in all corners of the globe is infuriating. Even more infuriating, however, is the fact that terminally ill cancer patients have to get permission from their government to use mushrooms to treat their end-of-life distress. Unfortunately, however, because of fear, ignorance, and complacency, this is the way things are. So, when a government actually grants citizens permission to do with their bodies as they see fit, this is now newsworthy.
Multiple studies, including out of Johns Hopkins, have determined that psilocybin mushrooms are incredibly beneficial to those facing certain death. The studies found that psilocybin produced substantial and sustained decreases in depression and anxiety in patients with life-threatening cancer and that mystical-type experiences on session days mediated the effect of psilocybin dose on therapeutic outcomes.

They are also the first known patients to legally use psilocybin since the tyrannical state made it illegal in Canada in 1974.
“I would like to personally thank the Hon. Minister Hajdu and the team at the Office of Controlled Substances for the approval of my section 56 exemption. This is the positive result that is possible when good people show genuine compassion. I’m so grateful that I can move forward with the next step of healing” says Thomas Hartle, one of the section 56 applicants battling cancer.
Laurie Brooks, another applicant from British Columbia facing end-of-life distress states: “I want to thank the Health Minister and Health Canada for approving my request for psilocybin use. The acknowledgement of the pain and anxiety that I have been suffering with means a lot to me, and I am feeling quite emotional today as a result.

For years, the Free Thought Project has been reporting on the beneficial effects of psilocybin mushrooms ranging from treating PTSD to addiction and depression.

Now, as people share information globally, instantaneously, on a scale unstoppable by the state, we are resuming the advancement of medical research on psychedelic substances. Scientists are challenging the irrational classification of psychedelics as “class A” (UK) or “schedule 1” (US) substances, characterized as having no medical use and a high potential for addiction. And, the recent pushes in Colorado, Oakland, and Canada are evidence of this.
After 40 years, it appears that another brick in the wall of prohibition is beginning to crumble in the face of science and logic. Now, if we can get all governments to stop arresting people for doing with their bodies what they see fit.

We’re at a crossroads at the moment, and most people are choosing to obedience to the emerging new order. Here in the U.S., the hysteria and fear are thick, palpable, and ugly. Just as Stanley Milgram demonstrated in his now-famous social experiment, most people are turning against their fellow neighbors and countrymen and willfully posing as enforcers of the new normal.
The media in this nation is cancer, eating away at the social fabric of our society, demanding that we find differences between ourselves and everyone else, and demanding that we lose ourselves in the collective madness. The American spirit of individualism and personal liberty is being stamped out by peer pressure to conform and obey. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be, though.
As a people, Americans have long been admired the world over for our supposed courage in defending liberty, but today we’re so fractured and confused that we can’t seem to come together in any meaningful numbers. The police state that has emerged around us has been so discouraging to real protest movements that we’ve even given up protesting against the never-ending wars. We’ve become docile, domesticated, distracted, divided, dysfunctional, and delusional. We no longer oppose tyranny.
Time for someone else to carry the torch.
Last week in Germany, a massive crowd of people hit the streets to protest the lockdowns which are killing businesses, destroying families, and causing untold stress, loneliness, and depression, all in the name of preventing the spread of a virus. ‘Masks Make Us Slaves,’ read one banner.
Protesters who came from across the country held up homemade signs with slogans like “Corona, false alarm,” “We are being forced to wear a muzzle,” “Natural defense instead of vaccination” and “We are the second wave.” [Source]
Mainstream media coverage of the event downplayed the size of the crowd. The Guardian reported, “Up to 20,000 demonstrated against restrictions, raising fears of a rise in infections,” diminishing the crowd while also framing the demonstration as a threat to the fear-addled rule-followers.
ABC News reported, “Thousands protest in Berlin against coronavirus restrictions,” then added, “Protests against anti-virus restrictions in Germany have drawn a variety of attendees, including conspiracy theorists and right-wing populists.” This, of course, is an attempt to demonize the event and give the false impression that those who are concerned for their rights are subhuman.
The New York Times wants you to believe that all of these people are a danger to those who follow orders and go along to get along. They said that 17,000 people marched, and insinuated that they are all somehow allied with Ne0Nazis. Bollocks.
This was the scene in Berlin, where an estimated 17,000 people defied social-distancing and mask requirements to join a protest supported by neo-Nazi groups, conspiracy theorists and others who said they were fed up with the restrictions.

CNN took a jab as well in their article, “Thousands gather in Berlin to protest against Covid-19 restrictions.” Their spin is that all of the people involved are from the far-right. Say what?!?
“A large crowd of far-right groups gathered for a “sit-in” at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate on Saturday to protest against the German government’s coronavirus restrictions.
A march earlier Saturday that was criticized by police for not adhering to rules on social distancing and face masks was halted by organizers.” [ Source
Can you read between the lines, people? The media is goading you to live in fear not only of a contentious virus but of your fellow man. The threat is being expanded to include not only the disease but for anyone who questions the official narrative about the disease.
According to RT, “500,000 Germans apply to take part in Stuttgart lockdown protest, but police RESTRICT rally to 5,000 due to ‘social distancing,” which is a heck of a lot more people than what other news outlets reported.
The real story is that there were a lot more people at this demonstration than the MSM wants you to believe and that the crowd was made up of people of all walks of life, not just racist Nazis who deserve to be treated as less-than-human. Some estimates say that up to 1.3 million people were involved, with people arriving from all over Germany to participate.
“Now, most media doesn’t want to talk about this story at all, and if they do, they’re only referring to these massive numbers of people as conspiracy theorists.” -Ben Swann
Ben Swann destroys the mainstream narrative on this in the following video, diving into who these people were, and why they opposed the lockdown.
Ralph Smart also chimes in, reminding us that millions of people are waking up and that the mass awakening is the one thing the powers-that-be fear most.
I hope you’re paying attention to people. There is an awakening happening, and you are not alone. This is the global awakening, and it will be impossible to keep the lid on this for much longer.

Retirees Vow to ‘Fight This Attempt to Gut Social Security’ as Trump Announces Executive Order to Suspend Payroll Tax

An advocacy group representing more than four million American retirees warned Thursday that President Donald Trump took a dangerous step toward “ single-handedly ” dismantling Social Security by announcing he plans to sign an executive order suspending collection of the payroll tax as early as Friday afternoon .
With congressional negotiations over the next Covid-19 stimulus package still at an impasse , Trump told reporters Thursday that executive orders to suspend the payroll tax , extend boosted unemployment benefits , and reestablish an expired eviction moratorium are “ being drawn now ” despite questions over whether the president has the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions .
“ Older Americans have earned their benefits through a lifetime of work .
Their retirement security should not be put at risk because President Trump is mad at Congress for not bending to his will.
” —Richard Fiesta , Alliance for Retired Americans Trump said he expects to sign the orders “ tomorrow afternoon or maybe the following morning ” if White House negotiators and Democratic leaders do n't reach a deal .
Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have rejected the idea of cutting the payroll tax , the primary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fiesta , executive director of the Alliance for Retired Americans , said in a statement that “ after learning that Democratic and Republican congressional leaders would not go along with his harebrained scheme to cut Social Security 's dedicated funding source , President Trump lashed out and announced he would begin dismantling the system single-handedly.
” “ Seniors pay for their housing , food , and medicine with their Social Security , putting $ 1 trillion into our economy every year , ” said Fiesta .
“ Older Americans have earned their benefits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ retirement security should not be put at risk because President Trump is mad at Congress for not bending to his will.
” The group 's 4.4 million members , he vowed , “ will fight this attempt to gut Social Security .

consciouslifenews--2020-08-07--Why Real Estate is a Great Investment for your Retirement Plan

Retirement is coming for all of us at some point in our lives .
At least we hope it is .
After all , it 's unlikely you or anyone else wants to work forever , particularly when you 're older and become quickly fatigued .
You 've probably heard of the FIRE ( financial independence retire early ) movement capturing the hearts of many .
For others , who are married to their jobs , they prefer the FIOR ( financial independence optional retirement ) option instead .
Whichever movement you feel inclined to follow , it 's true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planning towards accruing a dream retirement .
Where their debts are paid off , and they have the time and money to indulge in all their favorite things , such as exploring the world or spending all their free time with their grandchildren .
Preparing for retirement is about realizing that there 's more to life as you get older .
We 're often so sucked into the here , and now , we spend most of our energy and money working for the present .
But something has to give and be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it 's not , you wo n't be able to fund the retirement you deserve .
According to Northwestern Mutual Planning and Progress Study 2019 , worryingly , 15 % of Americans have no savings or investments for retirement .
Meaning , unless they begin saving soon , they could really begin to struggle when their retirement years kick in .
Sustainable wealth takes time to build , to experience the benefits of compound interest , and increase value .
But it 'll be completely worth it when you 're ready to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debts , such as student debt , mortgages , and credit cards , it 's smart to place your cash in areas where it can work for you .
Whether you 're adding to existing investments , or you 're a newcomer to investing who is hoping to start building up your assets and investments .
It 's essential to remember one thing – always diversify your portfolio .
Which essentially means , do n't plow all of your money into one investment , as you could risk losing it all .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ markets fluctuate over time .
With a diverse portfolio , your other investments shall hopefully absorb any losses experienced elsewhere in your portfolio .
Ideas for investments include antiques .
Putting money in savings accounts that yield a high return , such as gold .
Or perhaps stocks and shares .
Real estate , in particular , is an excellent sector to invest in .
It 's proven time and time again ; its robust nature can bounce back from economic turmoil .
For more reasons why real estate is where you should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , below are seven .
Whether residential or commercial , providing you have a large deposit and stable income .
Plus , potentially some experience buying and leasing out properties , banks are likely to lend you money towards your chosen real estate .
Once you have your property and secure a rental agreement with an individual interested in using your property , you can from that property .
While subsequently paying down the mortgage .
Moreover , as the property appreciates steadily over time , the amount you can charge will rise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for you .
There are numerous tax deductions and breaks that make real estate investment worthwhile .
For instance , you can minus the expenses you incur to purchase , maintain , and manage the property .
For from experts that help individuals accrue a financially fulfilling future in their old age , with real estate , look at the company Accuplan .
Furthermore , due to property depreciating throughout its life , you can also add on years of deductions that shall also shed your taxed income .
While owning a property @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and build equity .
As your wealth rises , your potential to buy more property increases .
By accumulating more houses , you will again be able to create more income from rentals .
Residential and commercial properties alike , tend to have little to no correlation with other investments , which can be quite volatile .

Retirement is coming for all of us at some point in our lives. At least we hope it is. After all, it's unlikely you or anyone else wants to work forever, particularly when you're older and become quickly fatigued. You've probably heard of the FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement capturing the hearts of many. For others, who are married to their jobs, they prefer the FIOR (financial independence optional retirement) option instead. Whichever movement you feel inclined to follow, it's true that a lot of people are actively planning towards accruing a dream retirement. Where their debts are paid off, and they have the time and money to indulge in all their favorite things, such as exploring the world or spending all their free time with their grandchildren.
Preparing for retirement is about realizing that there's more to life as you get older. We're often so sucked into the here, and now, we spend most of our energy and money working for the present. But something has to give and be set aside for the future. Because if it's not, you won't be able to fund the retirement you deserve. According to Northwestern Mutual Planning and Progress Study 2019, worryingly, 15% of Americans have no savings or investments for retirement. Meaning, unless they begin saving soon, they could really begin to struggle when their retirement years kick in. Sustainable wealth takes time to build, to experience the benefits of compound interest, and increase value. But it'll be completely worth it when you're ready to retire from work. Besides paying off debts, such as student debt, mortgages, and credit cards, it's smart to place your cash in areas where it can work for you.
Whether you're adding to existing investments, or you're a newcomer to investing who is hoping to start building up your assets and investments. It's essential to remember one thing – always diversify your portfolio. Which essentially means, don't plow all of your money into one investment, as you could risk losing it all. Instead, explore other investment opportunities. Different markets fluctuate over time. With a diverse portfolio, your other investments shall hopefully absorb any losses experienced elsewhere in your portfolio. Ideas for investments include antiques. Putting money in savings accounts that yield a high return, investing in precious metals such as gold. Or perhaps stocks and shares.
Real estate, in particular, is an excellent sector to invest in. It's proven time and time again; its robust nature can bounce back from economic turmoil. For more reasons why real estate is where you should put some of your money for retirement, below are seven.
Regular Income
Whether residential or commercial, providing you have a large deposit and stable income. Plus, potentially some experience buying and leasing out properties, banks are likely to lend you money towards your chosen real estate. Once you have your property and secure a rental agreement with an individual interested in using your property, you can instantly begin earning an income from that property. While subsequently paying down the mortgage. Moreover, as the property appreciates steadily over time, the amount you can charge will rise, too, leading to more income for you.
Tax Benefits
There are numerous tax deductions and breaks that make real estate investment worthwhile. For instance, you can minus the expenses you incur to purchase, maintain, and manage the property. For a guide to real estate ira investing from experts that help individuals accrue a financially fulfilling future in their old age, with real estate, look at the company Accuplan. Furthermore, due to property depreciating throughout its life, you can also add on years of deductions that shall also shed your taxed income.
Increase Net Worth
While owning a property, you gradually pay down the mortgage and build equity. As your wealth rises, your potential to buy more property increases. By accumulating more houses, you will again be able to create more income from rentals.
Decrease Portfolio Volatility
Residential and commercial properties alike, tend to have little to no correlation with other investments, which can be quite volatile. Real estate is a stable investment that can provide an excellent return, without too much risk.
Financial Security
Beyond having a fallback fund for emergencies, it's essential to have investments that can provide you with peace of mind and financial security. With a rental property, in particular, it's owners secure a regular income. And as mentioned above, as the value of the property increases, the rental income shall too.
Predict the Forecasted Market Value
There are plenty of detailed online sources about the history of an area's properties and its historical sale prices. And so you shall be able to see a property's sale value over time. Plus, you can also do primary research and visit to get a feel for an area you'll be buying in. Great neighborhoods, with houses that are hardly ever up for sale, and excellent schools close by. Additionally, access to public transport routes, and low crime rates , shall always be in demand, particularly with families, couples, and the elderly. With an abundance of resources available online. Plus, the potential to conduct in-person research before you purchase a property. You can gain a good picture of whether a house or commercial building is likely to be a good investment. This means you can make an informed decision on your purchase, leading us to the next point.
You are the Boss
Some people love managing properties so much that they make a living out of buying and flipping or renting out properties. One of the best things about managing properties is you're self-employed and work when you want to. Meaning you decide when and where to conduct research, source housing auctions, survey properties, etc. If you enjoy sourcing, buying, and managing real estate , you may even want to keep it going when you retire.

consciouslifenews--2020-08-09--‘Smart’ Face Mask from Japan Translates 8 Languages, Boosting Communication in ‘New Normal’

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow with no end in sight in the foreseeable future , face masks have become an essential part of our daily lives .
As a result , the market for protective face coverings has exponentially grown – with the demand for cloth , neoprene , disposable , reusable , valved and filtered masks continuing to grow .
And now , engineers have designed a smart facial mask that can help not only amplify voices muffled by the myriad protective masks , but can also translate speech into eight different languages .
This latest innovation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robotics , which saw the new masked reality as a great opportunity to unveil its new high-tech mask that can boost communication and connectedness while also helping to make physical distancing easier .
The C-Face Smart Mask is connected to an integrated microphone that connects to the wearer ’ s smartphone through an app , and offers a suite of features .
Not only can it amplify the wearer ’ s voice , but it can also transcribe dictation and translate speech into eight different languages ( Chinese , English , French , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Vietnamese ) .
And while the white plastic and silicone smart mask isn ’ t meant to offer protection against the coronavirus – as is clear from the breathing holes in the mask – the C-Mask is designed to be perfectly compatible with existing standard face masks .
The C-Mask relies on translation software that Donut Robotics originally developed for its Cinnamon robot , an AI-enabled bot that would assist international travelers with useful information and help them navigate Japanese airports .
But after the coronavirus pandemic virtually halted most international @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Japan ’ s airport , the startup pivoted to applying its technology to face masks so that workers in various industries including healthcare could confidently and clearly communicate behind face coverings and barriers .

“ Cut yourself some slack .
You ’ re doing better than you think.
” ~Unknown Your stomach is tied up in knots .
Another crisis has arrived , and everyone is looking to you to have the answers , to be the leader .
You can ’ t blame them either because you think you should have all the answers .
But you just don ’ t .
Though you look calm on the outside , inside you ’ re a tangle of nerves and anxiety , terrified someone will expose you as the fraud you feel you are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve been able to pull a rabbit out of a hat to save the day , but those were just flukes .
It wasn ’ t because of anything special you did , things just happened to fall in place at the right time .
Truth be told , you doubt you could pull off such a trick again .
Your shoulders are so tired from carrying the weight of everyone ’ s expectations that you ’ re sure everything will come crashing down at any moment .
The thought of an impending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it keeps you up at night .
Feeling like an imposter is something many of us know all too well .
When we ’ re faced with a challenge or a new opportunity opens up , instead of rising to the task , our minds quickly fill up with anxious thoughts .
I remember being so filled with fear and anxiety that I would dread going to work on Monday , from the Thursday before .
This , of course , completely ruined my weekend and kept me in a cycle of fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this constant state of negative emotions brought on weekly migraines that would stay for two to three days .
Living in fear was affecting my work/life balance and my health .
After managing the situation for as long as I could , I decided that this wasn ’ t the way that I wanted to live my life .
If you ’ ve ever felt like your emotions were permanently stuck on negative and wished you could get off this cycle of anxiety , keep reading .
I ’ ve got some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Club With negative emotions , you often feel alone , as if no one understands what you ’ re going through or why .
This further makes you feel ashamed , on top of already feeling isolated and like a complete failure .
Have you ever noticed how one negative emotion brings more of the same , until you ’ re just one huge pile of sadness and depression ?
For an unlucky few , you might even have someone in your life who seems to have it all together , bringing your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a study conducted by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Gail Matthews , about 70 percent of the population experiences feeling like an imposter ( aka Impostor Syndrome ) at one point in their life .
That means right now , nearly everyone around you feels like they don ’ t know what they ’ re doing , like they don ’ t deserve their accomplishments , and they ’ re terrified that they ’ ll be exposed as frauds .
Doubting yourself is normal .
Everyone battles the little voice in their head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good enough.
” A Dose of Insecurity is Good for the Soul Everyone has areas of their life where they feel insecure .
It ’ s a natural part of the human experience .
Which , as it turns out , might be a good thing as only about 1 percent of us has no fears or insecurities at all .
The clinical term for people like that is “ psychopath.
” A healthy dose ( the small amount that doesn ’ t stop you from living and enjoying life ) of self-doubt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your interactions with other people .
Dr. Ellen Hendriksen , a clinical psychologist , posits that “ we doubt ourselves in order to check ourselves.
” Self-doubt helps us adjust our behavior in line with social norms .
Have you ever noticed that when you ’ re faced with a new situation , place , event , or people you feel a tad bit off kilter or insecure ?
It ’ s your body ’ s defense mechanism working to keep you out of danger in unfamiliar circumstances .
This is a trait @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay safe and alive .
Self-doubt can even work to propel us to look inward and motivate us to do the necessary work to improve and change .
Self-doubt is not all bad .
The key is to keep it down to a healthy level .
But what do you do if the self-doubt , fears , and anxiety you feel are more than doctors recommend ?
How do you stop from overdosing on these emotions ?
The first step is acknowledging your feelings .
Burying your emotions and hoping you ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t going to work .
Never , in the history of ever , has ignoring emotions helped anyone .
In fact , the exact opposite seems to be true .
Yet , out of shame or ignorance we continue to downplay and overlook our feelings .
Since that ’ s not working , why not try something different ?
Why don ’ t you give yourself permission to feel your emotions ?
What ’ s the worst that could happen ?
Own up to your feelings and examine what is causing them .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask yourself why , what is causing that emotion .
When you feel fear and self-doubt creeping in , ask where they ’ re coming from .
What exactly are you afraid of ?
Drill down to the root cause .
Is it something someone said ?
Is it an unrealistic expectation you have of yourself ?
Is it an actual fear of something tangible ?
Is it a fear of something intangible ?
Perhaps the fear isn ’ t even yours , but something projected onto you by a well-meaning “ friend.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ way , you find the cause .
And once you ’ ve found the cause of the problem , it becomes so much easier to find a solution .

Check your pride at the door .
This next step requires a bit of humility .
After drilling down to the root cause of your negative feelings , try to figure out how you contribute to feeling this way and what can you do to change the situation .
It ’ s easy to blame all our problems on someone or something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hook , it also puts us in the victim mind space , where things happen to us and we ’ re powerless to do anything about it .
The truth is , sometimes the fault lies with us .

consciouslifenews--2020-08-08--Most Americans Can’t Withstand 3 Months Without Income — Study

A new study from Oregon State University found that 77 % of low- to moderate-income American households fall below the asset poverty threshold , meaning that if their income were cut off they would not have the financial assets to maintain at least poverty-level status for three months .
The study compared asset poverty rates in the U.S. and Canada .
Canada ’ s asset poverty rate has improved over the past 20 years while the U.S. rate has worsened , but still , 62 % of low- to moderate-income Canadians also fall below the asset poverty threshold .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic , said David Rothwell , lead author on the study and an associate professor in OSU ’ s College of Public Health and Human Sciences .
“ The fact that the U.S. safety net is so connected to work , and then you have this huge shock to employment , you have a system that ’ s not prepared to handle such a big change to the employment system … It results concretely in family stress and strain , and then that strain and stress relates to negative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rothwell said .
The study , published last week in the journal , looked at financial assets such as stocks , bonds and mutual funds , rather than real assets like houses and property , because financial assets are easier to cash in and use in an emergency .
Existing research has found that U.S. wealth inequality is more pronounced that income inequality .
Researchers used data from nationally representative financial surveys in Canada and the U.S. from 1998 through 2016 , looking at low- to moderate-income households , defined as those in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in each country , headed by working age adults age 25-54 .
Rothwell and co-authors Leanne Giordono from OSU and Jennifer Robson from Carleton University in Ontario , Canada , were investigating how asset poverty changed over time in the two countries and how that change was affected by changes in transfer share — the portion of household income that comes from government assistance .
They chose the U.S. and Canada because of their close geographic proximity and similar legal traditions but significantly different welfare policies .
In 1998 , Canada ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ households was 74 % , compared with 67 % in the U.S .
The two rates were nearly identical in 2005 , then Canada ’ s kept falling and the U.S. rate kept rising , arriving at 62 % and 77 % in 2016 .
Canada spends twice what the U.S. does on financial assistance for families , and much of it is spent in cash benefits , rather than in-kind benefits like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs ( SNAP , formerly food stamps ) in the U.S .
In 2016 , 96 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some transfer income from the government .
In the U.S. , that number was 41 % .

consciouslifenews--2020-08-08--Atomic Bombings At 75: John Pilger – Another Hiroshima Is Coming – Unless We Stop It Now

When I first went to Hiroshima in 1967 , the shadow on the steps was still there .
It was an almost perfect impression of a human being at ease : legs splayed , back bent , one hand by her side as she sat waiting for a bank to open .
At a quarter past eight on the morning of August 6 , 1945 , she and her silhouette were burned into the granite .
I stared at the shadow for an hour or more , then I walked down to the river where the survivors still lived in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yukio , whose chest was etched with the pattern of the shirt he was wearing when the atomic bomb was dropped .
Nine years later , I returned to look for him and he was dead from leukemia .
Only one reporter , Wilfred Burchett , an Australian , had braved the perilous journey to Hiroshima in the immediate aftermath of the atomic bombing , in defiance of the Allied occupation authorities , which controlled the “ press pack ” .
For this , his press accreditation was withdrawn , he was pilloried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth was never forgiven .
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was an act of premeditated mass murder that unleashed a weapon of intrinsic criminality .
It was justified by lies that form the bedrock of America ’ s war propaganda in the 21st century , casting a new enemy , and target During the 75 years since Hiroshima , the most enduring lie is that the atomic bomb was dropped to end the war in the Pacific and to save lives .
The National Archives in Washington contains documented Japanese peace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was pursued .
A cable sent on May 5 , 1945 by the German ambassador in Tokyo and intercepted by the U.S. made clear the Japanese were desperate to sue for peace , including “ capitulation even if the terms were hard ” .
Nothing was done .
The U.S. Secretary of War , Henry Stimson , told President Truman he was “ fearful ” that the U.S. Air Force would have Japan so “ bombed out ” that the new weapon would not be able “ to show its strength ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was made , and none was seriously considered , to achieve surrender merely in order not to have to use the [ atomic ] bomb ” .
Stimson ’ s foreign policy colleagues — looking ahead to the post-war era they were then shaping “ in our image ” , as Cold War planner George Kennan famously put it — made clear they were eager “ to browbeat the Russians with the [ atomic ] bomb held rather ostentatiously on our hip ” .
General Leslie Groves , director of the Manhattan Project @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ There was never any illusion on my part that Russia was our enemy , and that the project was conducted on that basis.
” The day after Hiroshima was obliterated , President Harry Truman voiced his satisfaction with the “ overwhelming success ” of “ the experiment ” .
The “ experiment ” continued long after the war was over .
Between 1946 and 1958 , the United States exploded 67 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific : the equivalent of more than one Hiroshima every day for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences were catastrophic .
During the filming of my documentary , The Coming War on China , I chartered a small aircraft and flew to Bikini Atoll in the Marshalls .
It was here that the United States exploded the world ’ s first Hydrogen Bomb .
It remains poisoned earth .
My shoes registered “ unsafe ” on my Geiger counter .
Palm trees stood in unworldly formations .
There were no birds .
I trekked through the jungle to the concrete bunker where , at 6.45 on the morning of March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pushed .
The sun , which had risen , rose again and vaporised an entire island in the lagoon , leaving a vast black hole , which from the air is a menacing spectacle : a deathly void in a place of beauty .
Gene Curbow , a meteorologist assigned to monitor the test site , said , “ They knew where the radioactive fall-out was going to go .
Even on the day of the shot , they still had an opportunity to evacuate people , but [ people ] were not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States needed some guinea pigs to study what the effects of radiation would do.
” Like Hiroshima , the secret of the Marshall Islands was a calculated experiment on the lives of large numbers of people .
This was Project 4.1 , which began as a scientific study of mice and became an experiment on “ human beings exposed to the radiation of a nuclear weapon ” .
The Marshall Islanders I met in 2015 — like the survivors of Hiroshima I interviewed in the 1960s and 70s — suffered from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; thousands had already died .
Miscarriages and stillbirths were common ; those babies who lived were often deformed horribly .
Unlike Bikini , nearby Rongelap atoll had not been evacuated during the H-Bomb test .
Directly downwind of Bikini , Rongelap ’ s skies darkened and it rained what first appeared to be snowflakes .
Food and water were contaminated ; and the population fell victim to cancers .
That is still true today .
U.S. official archive film I included in my film refers to the islanders as “ amenable savages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosion , a U.S. Atomic Energy Agency official is seen boasting that Rongelap “ is by far the most contaminated place on earth ” , adding , “ it will be interesting to get a measure of human uptake when people live in a contaminated environment.
” American scientists , including medical doctors , built distinguished careers studying the “ human uptake ” .
There they are in flickering film , in their white coats , attentive with their clipboards .
When an islander died in his teens , his family received a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him .
I have reported from five nuclear “ ground zeros ” throughout the world — in Japan , the Marshall Islands , Nevada , Polynesia and Maralinga in Australia .
Even more than my experience as a war correspondent , this has taught me about the ruthlessness and immorality of great power : that is , imperial power , whose cynicism is the true enemy of humanity .
This struck me forcibly when I filmed at Taranaki Ground Zero at Maralinga in the Australian desert .
In a dish-like crater was an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A British atomic weapon was test exploded here on 9 October 1957 ” .
On the rim of the crater was this sign : For as far as the eye could see , and beyond , the ground was irradiated .
Raw plutonium lay about , scattered like talcum powder : plutonium is so dangerous to humans that a third of a milligram gives a 50 percent chance of cancer .
The only people who might have seen the sign were Indigenous Australians , for whom there was no warning .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lucky “ they were shooed off like rabbits ” .
Today , an unprecedented campaign of propaganda is shooing us all off like rabbits .
We are not meant to question the daily torrent of anti-Chinese rhetoric , which is rapidly overtaking the torrent of anti-Russia rhetoric .
Anything Chinese is bad , anathema , a threat : Wuhan … .
Huawei .
How confusing it is when “ our ” most reviled leader says so .

consciouslifenews--2020-08-08--11 New Symptoms Of The Collective Awakening

During the run up to 2012 the world was fascinated by the idea of the shift , that is , an awakening that first takes place within the individual , then radiates outward into our communities and societies at large , changing the world for the better .
At that time , attention was mainly focused around the personal dynamics involved in this , including the work of navigating the upheaval and turmoil that precedes inner peace and profound transformation .
Much of this shift was triggered by newfound awareness of the corruption and deception in our political and social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the material world is built on lies left us with no place to go but inward .
We explored meditation and energy healing , radically altered our diets , opened our minds to different ways of thinking and relating to the world , embraced ancestral wisdom , and we fearlessly answered the call to purge , heal and connect .
The energy around this was very intense , but it inspired a tremendous sense of wonder and creativity .
But , as all things do , the flow in this new space began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it has felt like a major regression happened , taking us back into the dense , murky energies of cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance .
So much so , that the last few years has had many of us wondering what the hell the point was in all of this .
We began to doubt that our willingness to change had any real value in a world so hopelessly shipwrecked in the shallow end of the pool .
When 2020 began , nothing had substantively changed in the world around us , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our sense of purpose and direction .
Many of us fell back into old habits and old pursuits .
Business and pleasure .
And then all of a sudden , boom !
Here we are .
No denying it now , the train has left the station and everything is being exposed .
All of the darkness , depravity and evil that we ’ ve been collectively covering up and ignoring for generations is squealing and squirming in this flash of bright light .
The powers that be see what ’ s happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and they ’ re pulling out all the stops in order to maintain the illusion of control .
Indeed , we find ourselves in quite a vulnerable position , and since we ’ ve been quarantined from all of the distractions that ’ ve helped to blanket us from reality , we can no longer avoid the truth .
A new awakening is happening now , and this time it is global .
We can no longer numb ourselves to this .
“ We numb vulnerability — when we ’ re waiting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we live in .
We live in a vulnerable world .
And one of the ways we deal with it is we numb vulnerability… And I think there ’ s evidence — and it ’ s not the only reason this evidence exists , but I think it ’ s a huge cause — We are the most in-debt … obese … addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history .
The problem is — and I learned this from the research — that you can not selectively numb emotion .
You can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bad stuff .
Here ’ s vulnerability , here ’ s grief , here ’ s shame , here ’ s fear , here ’ s disappointment .
I don ’ t want to feel these .
I ’ m going to have a couple of beers and a banana nut muffin.
” ~Brené Brown As the awakening rolls forward , it ’ s taking everyone with it .
How it ends is anyone ’ s guess , and since we ’ re all along for the ride , it may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re feeling to the bigger picture of the change that is coming our way .
Perhaps you can relate to some of these new signs of the awakening ?
• You see a clear connection between the chaos in the world and the inner turmoil you ’ ve been diligently working to transform .
• You just don ’ t do fear anymore .
It no longer has the pull on you it once did .
You know yourself to be spirit .
• You understand that the universe is mental , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precious tools of creation .
For this , you readily notice when your mind is slipping from the present moment and when it tries to engage you in fear .
You have the power and determination to bring it back into alignment with your purpose and mission .
• You ’ re learning how to powerfully use your voice to contribute to the awakening and to help those who can not speak for themselves .
• You don ’ t play sides , and you don ’ t choose a team .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you see people acting out on agendas that are not their own .
• You see the futility and danger in belief systems , and you don ’ t bow to authority .
You stay firmly grounded in what is real and what can be verified by your own experience .
You are your own master .
• You give people of all beliefs the freedom to expose their fear , anger and confusion however it may surface .
You don ’ t judge , debate , or try to correct people who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you do .
• You care for yourself first so that you may have more power to care for others .
• You deliberately work to foster connection between yourself and others , above and beyond the superficiality so prevalent in public discourse .
• You fully trust in this process and accept the fate of the world as part of it .
• You recognize that your most powerful task is that of letting go .
The stakes are incredibly high right now and the future of human freedom is at stake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Great Reset is coming our way , and while the globalists , central banks and international agencies would like to hijack this and steer us toward a new form of technocratic worldwide Orwellian slavery , the human race has never before had such a true opportunity to free itself from their chains .
It ’ s game on people , time to play your part .

consciouslifenews--2020-08-08--Finding Out Why a Man Pulls Away Before He Commits to You

The one thing I ’ ve noticed , and speaking from a women ’ s perspective is we like to ‘ overdo ’ things .
We are overachievers .
Whether it be in thinking , or committing , analyzing situations and messages , or even down to the planning of what should have been a simple dinner get together but suddenly turned into a 5 couple weekend ?
Madness .
I don ’ t know why we are programmed like this , I ’ ve put it down to being the caring half of a relationship and thus wanting everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happy .
For my husband and I , being married going on 13 years now , we certainly had our fair share of unnecessarily tense moments , and I ’ ll explain why they were unnecessary .
We began seeing each other while working at the same restaurant , as most couples tend to meet being around each other all the time , and things were great for so long until there was a shift .
I was all for taking ‘ us ’ to the next level as it were and assumed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not the case and came as a shock to me when he blurted he needed ‘ some time.
’ What ?
I was gobsmacked , and this bomb drop is in most situations the trigger for the avalanche of analysis to begin .
I went over every situation , scenario , comment , or message each had made and couldn ’ t figure out why it had come to this after all this time ?
One evening I was having a cocktail moan and vent session with my girlfriends at dinner and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a lightning bolt , she said ; ‘ did it ever occur to you that ‘ he ’ may have the issue and it has nothing to do with you ?
’ I ’ ll be honest this had never crossed my mind , I instantly thought I ’ d said something and it scared him off .
So , after a few more than 2 mimosas ( check here https : //www.olivemagazine.com/recipes/cocktails-and-drinks/3-ingredient-cocktails/ for some quick and easy cocktail recipes if you ’ re in the need for a ‘ session ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was going to phone him .
And let ’ s be real ladies , nobody wants to get a phone call at 2 am from a drunken partner confessing things they won ’ t remember when the sun rises .
But somehow this worked , and , he was still awake .
I rambled on about all things under the sun , and he let me , when I was done he simply said 3 words that changed the course of where we are today ; you are right .
Another shock to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story for another time .
This was about his self-realization of memories that were holding him back , keeping him tied to bad experiences , and affecting his future and essentially his commitment to me , to us .
There are many reasons why men can ’ t commit or don ’ t want to , you can see some comments in this link of what they have to say about the subject and how they or their partner may have handled it .
Some are more serious than others , a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ onto the right path , let ’ s have a look at a few reasons that kept popping up when asking around .
• This may sound like an excuse but it can be real .
You may have dated all through high school and gone to the same college , but as the graduation looms and you ’ ve realized you want different things , taking that next step could just be ‘ the straw that breaks the camel ’ s back ’ as they say .
Assess the situation and communicate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a home where his single mother couldn ’ t hold down a man and he had no father figure .
He could be afraid of not meeting your standards or being the version of a man society projects to be correct , so rather than giving it a go , it is easier to run .
• Experience .
Going through a separation and break up with someone who you thought to be your ‘ forever ’ and then they weren ’ t can feel like your heart and emotions have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have happened to they aren ’ t likely to be jumping back in with 2 feet again anytime soon .
