Sunlight exposure
This is part 2. Click here to read Part 1.
Materially speaking, you can thank the sun for almost every piece of your existence. Without its healing and life-giving rays, your body and its numerous functions would not work. Period.
Unfortunately, we don’t have nearly the same amount of sun exposure once did. What you and I think of as “clear skies” today are actually significantly less vivid than centuries past. In fact, if you were to travel back even 30 years ago, you would be amazed at how electric blue our skies were — it would be like cleaning a pair of smudged eyeglasses to reveal a gorgeous, crystalline cerulean.
This white haze is not just the smog from our vehicles, but also from heavy pollution like barium and aluminum being dumped straight into our airways from behemoth companies trying to geo-engineer the planet. I wish this was just another crazy conspiracy theory.
Some states like Tennessee and New Hampshire have already begun banning these “chem trails”. Alas, wind doesn’t abide by state or national borders. All toxic fumes belched into the atmosphere — whether they come from China or Mexico or down the street — eventually make their way into everyone’s skies and lungs.
You can tell the difference between a “chem trail” and their naturally occurring counterpart — the “con trail” — based on how quickly the cloud evaporates. If it hovers in the air for hours in a row, you can bet it’s some form of toxic heavy metals or other deadly chemical.
Given the widespread panic about the threat of UV rays to our health, less sunlight may sound like a good thing. It’s not. Contrary to what you may have heard, over the past decade in many parts of the country, critical growing periods during the summers have become colder, with lower yields on certain crops due to smog coverage.

Is there a difference between human intelligence and human intuition?
Intelligence requires the use of your senses — what you can see, hear, smell, taste and feel.
This is actually a problem considering the fact that your body picks up less than 1% of what’s actually happening out there in the Universe, even though it’s still impacted by the other 99%.
Luckily, scientists and engineers have expanded our sense faculties by playing with the invisible, inaudible and intangible phenomena of the Universe, and then converting them back into something us humans can perceive.
For instance, engineers invented a device that monitors the air of your home, alerting you with the sound of an obnoxious beep when it detects traces of deadly, odorless carbon monoxide.
Or we use telescopes to send millions of imperceivable radio waves out into the Universe, catch their echoes, convert those signals into 1’s and 0’s, and transmit that data to Earth via light pulses onto a spreadsheet. All so that a human can create a compelling story about a potential cosmological phenomenon hidden within the numbers.
Image Black Hole — really just a compilation of many data points upon which an educated guess of its features can be created.
This is great news, except for the terrifying fact that there’s no elegant way of being certain that the data coming in is accurate. If a sensor is off by 0.0001% in an electron microscope, for example, the results being shown to the human on the other end will be massively skewed, corrupting their ability to draw an intelligible conclusion.
So is there another way to receive information beyond light, sound and pulsating atoms? Or are we doomed to be at the mercy of science’s dependable — but tediously slow — guess and check method of knowledge acquisition?
Yes, there is. It’s called “intuition,” or the “sixth sense.”
Tune in next week for part 2.

Does evil exist? Of course it does. Just a cursory look at today’s news headlines should be all the proof you need of that. War, famine, pathogens, greed, backstabbing — how could these things occur without some wicked, selfish force tugging humans away from the intrinsic Goodness of life?
To say that evil exists is not to say that it is “outside of God”, though. That would be like saying that something can be excluded from everything.
The aching rage of being manipulated; the writhing agony of a migraine; the colossal grief of losing a child. These and every other occurrence, no matter their involvement with evil’s misery-inducing qualities, are technically within the blissful Source field and should be seen as such.
Practically speaking, that means avoiding blame or victimhood whenever “satan” rears its ugly head. No matter how tempting it may seem, losing your peace over the sheer reprehensibility of evil is not worth it.
Besides, if evil had an agenda, wouldn’t that be exactly what it wanted from you? Wouldn’t its main goal be to destroy your inner harmony by cleverly luring you into fury or pride? Wouldn’t your inflamed reaction only serve to further its malignant quest to wreak havoc all over the world?
And yet to plug your ears and shut your eyes to evil altogether is just as wrong-minded. Just as your immune system violently attacks an invading parasite, so too should your soul battle the evil within with all its might, taking no pity in the casualties it produces.
