Pope Francis Declares Mainstream-Media News Style Journalism ‘A Form of Terrorism’ ~ Arjun Walia

Pope Francis Declares Mainstream-Media News Style Journalism ‘A Form of Terrorism’

By Arjun Walia, Collective Evolution

January 9, 2017

VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - DECEMBER 10: Pope Francis speaks during his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square on December 10, 2014 in Vatican City, Vatican. The Holy Fathertold the thousands of faithful present that he wanted to share with them what took place and what the last Synod on the Families has produced. (Photo by Franco Origlia/Getty Images)

As you’ve probably already heard, several different alternative media outlets have been dubbed as ‘fake news,’ according to Facebook, who recently teamed up with Snopes and the Walt Disney Corporation (ABC News), among others, to determine what exactly this is. This sparked outrage among many, because Facebook is now taking the steps to censor information and what people see within their news feeds.

Who are they to determine what is real and what is fake? Are people not capable enough to determine this for themselves? NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden put it best, that the solution here is not to censor what people read but rather teaching people how to think critically.(source)(source)

What also resulted from this announcement was an influx of criticism towards mainstream media, as millions of readers of alternative media had already dubbed them the real ‘fake news.’ For example, three time presidential candidate Ron Paul released a list of “journalists” who colluded with the Clinton campaign. You can view that list HERE. Multiple mainstream media journalists have also come forward explaining how corporate/government owned mainstream media constantly dish out lies and propaganda to serve their own interests.

Dr. Udo Ulfokottee, Sharyl Attkisson, and Amber Lyon, among many others are a great example. This began with the inception of mainstream media as illustrated by Operation Mockingbird, a CIA campaign to influence media in the US as well as internationally decades ago. It seems that this type of thing hasn’t stopped, which was also made more evident this year as millions followed the elections and became aware of all the fraud via Wikileaks,’ not that Wikileaks was even needed to confirm this.

Here is a great article on this subject by Professor James Tracy, first published in August 2015, it is of particular relevance in relation to the “fake news” campaign directed against the alternative media.

You can view/read more examples about that, as well as more on this ‘fake news’ debacle in a previous article we published here.

Alternative media has collectively amassed billions of views over the past few years, and this is something our world has never seen before given the fact that only a handful of people and the corporations they run own all of the media and news networks. For years, these corporations have been giving us our news, and are also owned by the same group of people who control almost all aspects of our lives, from food, to health/finance, education and more. All you have to do is take a look at the share-holders.

Now that people are looking for alternative sources, and seeing through many of the problems associated with corporate media, it seems the elite are panicking. They want all eyes on them, and when those eyes start drifting away, they will do anything to try and bring them back.

This clip from the Thrive documentary is a great example of the consolidation of power today, and how we don’t really live in a democracy, but a ‘corporatocracy.’ The mainstream media is a central hub for this type of powers structure, unfortunately.

The Pope on Journalism

Not long ago, Pope Francis met with Italy’s national council of journalists at the Vatican’s Clementine Hall, calling for the importance of respect and human dignity, urging journalists that the profession can never be used as a weapon or to nourish fear.

“There are few professions which have such influence on society as does journalism. The journalist has a role of great importance, and at the same time a great responsibility. In a certain sense you wrote the ‘first draft of history’…introducing persons to the meaning of events.” (source)

The Pope makes a good point here, and gives us all something to think about when it comes to media. We must put our critical thinking caps on and learn to examine information from multiple outlets if we are truly interested in determining what is happening in our world. We cannot continue to rely on only a handful of media outlets for our source of information.

Reuters and The Huffington Post points out that, “In Italy, a number of newspapers are highly politicized and are regularly used to discredit those with different political views, sometimes reporting unsubstantiated rumors about their private lives.” A great example would be the mainstream media outlets there in 2009 which were owned by the prime-minister. Conflict of interest wouldn’t you say?

The pope also went on to point out that journalism today is used as a “weapon of destruction against persons and even entire peoples.”

The first thing that comes to my head here is ‘Islamaphobia,’ and all of the false events that mainstream media continues to report on and perpetuate. This is what the pope, in my opinion. is hinting at, the culture of fear that’s been created.

Perhaps the best example in recent history was 9/11. Even today, studies are being published that pretty much make it clear that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition. Here’s a great example that was published last year in the magazine of the European Physical Society.

“Journalism based on gossip or rumors is a form of terrorism and media that stereotype entire populations or foment fear of migrants are acting destructively.” (source)

This is why it’s always encouraging to hear those with a big reach ‘condemn’ mainstream media, and Pope Francis was one of them, emphasizing how he often speaks of gossip as a form of “terrorism” which kills with the tongue. He said that “if this applies to individuals with family or at work, it applies all the more to journalists, because their voice reachers everyone, and this is a very powerful weapon….I hope that more and more journalism everywhere is a tool of construction, a factor for the common good, an accelerator of process of reconciliation; that it may know how to reject the temptation of stirring up confrontation, with language that fans the flames of division, instead favouring the culture of encounter.” (source)

THIS IS HOW POWERFUL THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION REALLY IS ~ Arjun Walia

THIS IS HOW POWERFUL THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION REALLY IS

By Arjun Walia, Collective Evolution

JANUARY 7, 2017

The interaction of our thoughts with the physical material world is of huge interest today, garnering increasing attention by academics around the world. Despite a wealth of scientific data showing that one can influence the other, and even more evidence proving that certain emotional states can lead to chronic illness, many who work in mainstream medicine remain entirely ignorant of these concepts.
Perhaps this is why more and more people are gravitating towards alternative forms of medicine. As Garth Cook from Scientific American points out:

A growing body of scientific research suggests that our mind can play an important role in healing our body — or in staying healthy in the first place. . . There are now several lines of research suggesting that our mental perception of the world constantly informs and guides our immune system in a way that makes us better able to respond to future threats. That was a sort of ‘aha’ moment for me — where the idea of an entwined mind and body suddenly made more scientific sense than an ephemeral consciousness that’s somehow separated from our physical selves.

The Research/Placebo

When it comes to learning about the mind-body connection and its relationship to our health, it can be difficult to choose a starting place amongst the vast and growing body of research; one of the best places to start, however, is the placebo effect, which demonstrates that the mind can create physiological changes in the body. Neuroscientist Fabrizio Benedetti explains:

There isn’t just one placebo effect, but many. Placebo painkillers can trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins. Patients with Parkinson’s disease respond to placebos with a flood of dopamine. Fake oxygen, given to someone at altitude, has been shown to cut levels of neurotransmitters called prostaglandins (which dilate blood vessels, among other things, and are responsible for many of the symptoms of altitude sickness.

The placebo effect is so wondrous because it unlocks the power of the mind; the biological changes observed in the body after administration of a placebo are not triggered by the placebo itself, but rather by our mind, by our perception, by our psychological response to these fake treatments.
Despite intriguing results, research into the placebo effect has been limited. So far, only a few model systems have been investigated, like pain, depression, and Parkinson’s, but there is much more to be learned. One thing, however, does remain clear, and that is that we can change our biology simply by changing what we believe to be true. In his book The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton, PhD, persuasively argues for further research into this untapped resource within ourselves:

The placebo effect should be the subject of major, funded research efforts. If medical researchers could figure out how to leverage the placebo effect, they would hand doctors an efficient, energy-based, side effect-free tool to treat disease. Energy healers say they already have such tools, but I am a scientist, and I believe the more we know about science of the placebo, the better we’ll be able to use it in a clinical setting.

Let’s take a look at a few more interesting studies that warrant further investigation into the matter. One great one is a Baylor School of Medicine study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002. It looked at surgery for patients with severe and debilitating knee pain. Many surgeons know there is no placebo effect in surgery, or so most of them believe. The patients were divided into three groups. The surgeons shaved the damaged cartilage in the knee of one group. For the second group they flushed out the knee joint, removing all of the material believed to be causing inflammation. Both of these processes are the standard surgeries for people who have severely arthritic knees. The third group received a “fake” surgery; the patients were only sedated and tricked into believing they had had the knee surgery. Doctors simply made the incisions and splashed salt water on the knee as they would in normal surgery. They then sewed up the incisions like the real thing and the process was complete. All three then groups went through the same rehab process, with astonishing results: the placebo group improved just as much as the other two groups who had surgery.
Dr Moseley, the surgeon involved in the study, made a bold comment, emphasizing that his “skill as a surgeon had no benefit on these patients,” and that “the entire benefit of surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee was the placebo effect.” (Lipton, Bruce. The Biology of Belief. Hay House, Inc, 2005)
Another very interesting example of a placebo technique used in medicine comes from researchers in Seattle, who have developed a virtual reality landscape known as ‘Snow World.’ In the game, the participant flies around inside an ice canyon shooting snowballs at other characters, theoretically distracting them from the pain of their physical body. Gareth Cook from Scientific American reports on his experience trying the game:

It’s mean meant to work as a painkiller: the idea is that the brain has a limited capacity for attention, so if the ice canyon commands that attention, there is less capacity left over for experiencing pain. When I tried Snow World, the researchers used a heated box to simulate a burn to my foot – it was quite painful outside the game, but once immersed, I had so much fun I barely noticed it. (source)

The technique was utilized to help burn victims deal with their sessions of wound treatment and physiotherapy, which can be extremely painful. In trials, researchers discovered that undergoing these therapy sessions while immersed in Snow World lessened patients’ pain by fifteen to fourty percent.
This, among other research, tells us that the brain plays an enormous role in the level of pain we feel. Cook explains:

So I think we’ve got our approach to pain all wrong. Our focus is almost exclusively on trying to banish it with drugs, which is incredibly costly and causes huge problems with side effects and addiction. Research like Snow World shows the potential of psychological approaches for treating pain: both to maximize the effectiveness of drugs and perhaps in some cases to replace them.

Another great example of the power of the placebo effect was demonstrated in a 1999 report by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The report discovered that half of severely depressed patients taking drugs improve compared to the thirty-two percent taking a placebo. Considering all of the dangers and side effects associated with antidepressants — not to mention how much pharmaceutical companies profit from their sale — this statistic seems an important one. If we can accomplish nearly as much with our minds alone, without harming our health or creating chemical dependencies, shouldn’t we be exploring that avenue first?
Yet in a study published in the British Medical Journal by researchers at the Nordic Cochrane Center in Copenhagen, it was revealed that pharmaceutical companies were not disclosing all information regarding the results of their drug trials. Researchers looked at documents from 70 different double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) and found that the full extent of serious harm in clinical study reports went unreported. These are the reports sent to major health authorities like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You can read more about that and access the studyhere.
A 2002 article published in the American Psychological Association’s Prevention & Treatment, by University of Connecticut Psychology Professor Irving Kirsch titled “The Emperor’s New Drugs,” made even more shocking discoveries. He found that 80 perecent of the effect of antidepressants, as measured in clinical trials, could be attributed to the placebo effect. This professor even had to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to get information on the clinical trials of the top antidepressants. (source)(source) “The difference between the response of the drugs and the response of the placebo was less than two points on average on this clinical scale that goes from fifty to sixty points. That’s a very small difference, that difference is clinically meaningless,” he reveals.
And the placebo effect is not just limited to depression. One trial found that patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) had much greater relief from their symptoms if the practitioner was warm and empathetic rather than cold but polite. Another found that patients with acid reflux disease did dramatically better after an extended consultation with a physician, compared to the usual quick go-around. From back pain to childbirth and more, many patient outcomes depend not just on what drugs are prescribed, but on how care is delivered.
There are even studies indicating that the mind plays a role in both cancer growth and recovery. In animal studies, for example, stress hormones make a range of cancers spread faster, and patient trials suggest that stress management interventions reduce inflammation. (source)
The list goes on and on,
Researchers all over the world have found that placebo treatments can stimulate real biological and physiological responses — everything from changes in heart rate to blood pressure and even chemical activity in the brain. It has been effective with a number of different ailments, from arthritis and Parkinson’s to depression, fatigue, anxiety, and more.

Beyond Placebo

The placebo effect is most commonly cited during discussions of the power of the mind-body connection, but there is a wealth of other data that also strengthens the argument. For example, studies have been conducted which investigate the influence of A’s intention on B’s physiological state — a process referred to as “remote intention.” They further examine the influence of A’s attention on B’s physiological state while A gazes at B over a 1 way video link, called “remote staring.” Last but not least, they study the influence of A’s intention on B’s attention or behaviour, which is referred to as “remote helping.”
The effects of distant mental interactions are measured using electrodermal activity, heart rate, blood volume pulse, and electrocortical activity (EEG electrodermal activity, heart rate, blood volume pulse, brain blood oxygenation [MRI], and electrogastrogram [EGG]).
These studies have yielded remarkable results which have since been successfully repeated in laboratories around the world. They actually hint at the possibility that another person’s mental attention could possibly have some sort of physiological effect on someone else.
For more information this, you can read the publication titled “Distant Healing Intention Therapies: An Overview of the Scientific Evidence.”
If our thoughts and intentions can actually affect physical systems, just imagine what our own thoughts and intentions could do to us.
If we look at it from a Quantum Mechanical perspective, factors associated with consciousness (measurement, observation, attention) have indeed influenced physical systems, which is why all of the pioneering and prominent figures in this field regarded consciousness fundamental, where matter is seen as a derivative from consciousness.
Then, we have studies published in peer-reviewed journals making even more astonishing claims. A study published in the American Journal of Chinese Medicine, as seen in the the US National Library of Medicine, for example, demonstrated that a women with special abilities was and is able to accelerate the germination of specific seeds for the purposes of developing a more robust seed stock. As the study states:

Chulin Sun is a woman with exceptional powers (Shen and Sun, 1996, 1998; Sun, 1998). A member of the Chinese Somatic Science Research Institute, she is a practitioner of Waiqi. Waiqi is a type of qigong that teaches the practitioner to bring the qi energy of traditional Chinese medicine under the control of the mind. Chulin Sun can induce plant seeds to grow shoots and roots several cm long within 20 min using mentally projected qi energy (Fig. 1). This has been demonstrated on more than 180 different occasions at universities as well as science and research institutions in China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong) as well as other countries (e.g., Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.) (Ge et al., 1998; Qin et al., 1998; Lee et al., 1999). We took part in and repeated the qi germination experiments seven times, and five of them succeeded (Ge et al., 1998). This remarkable effect on seed development has drawn widespread attention (Tompkins and Bird, 1973; Lee, 1998), but the biological mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon are unknown.(source)

You can read more about that here.
The examples are endless, making clear that the mind-body connection definitely warrants more attention when it comes to mainstream medicine and therapeutic interventions.

Mind Matter Interaction/Healing

Nikola Tesla once said that “the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” In fact, Vedic philosophy heavily influenced Nikola Tesla’s ideas about free energy. You can read more about that here.
Fast forward to today, and we now know hundreds, if not thousands of internationally recognized scientists from around the world coming together to stress the fact that matter (protons, electrons, photons, anything that has a mass) is not the only reality.
If we wish to understand the true nature of our reality, we must stop limiting ourselves to only examining physical systems. We must consider the role of non-physical systems, such as factors associated with consciousness, and their interaction with physical systems (matter).
Today, this type of science is known as post-materialist science. If Nikola Tesla was around, there would be no doubt that he would be leading the charge in this important field.
To summarize the current contrast between material science and post material science, is to look at the points made in a document that was co-authored by r. Gary Schwartz, professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and surgery at the University of Arizona, Mario Beauregard, PhD, from the University of Arizona, and Lisa Miller, PhD, from Columbia University. It was presented at an international summit on post-materialist science, spirituality, and society. They (and hundreds of other scientists) have come to several conclusions which you can view in their Manifesto For Post-Material Science.
Below is an intriguing short video by the Institute of Noetic Sciences, with regards to mind-matter interaction, which is the topic of this article, because ‘psychic healing’ deals with mind interacting with human biology.

When it comes to mind/matter interaction, which is part of non-material science, measurements can and have been made in both blind and double blind peer-reviewed literature. To learn more about and examine these concepts, feel free to browse through a selected list of downloadable peer-reviewed journal articles reporting studies of psychic phenomena, mostly published in the 21st century, you can click HERE. It is the home of Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
I also wanted to provide a brief background with regards to this topic, because it is often ridiculed within the mainstream, despite the fact that we have some of the most brilliant scientists in the world attesting to its credibility. One of them is Elizabeth Rauscher.
She is a nuclear physicist who is a former researcher with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Stanford Research Institute, as well as NASA.
The interviewer is Jeffrey Mishlove, founder of Thinking Allowed, where he interviews a number of fascinating guests on various interesting topics.

THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY 2016 KICKED EVERYONE’S ASS ~ Joe Martino

THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY 2016 KICKED EVERYONE’S ASS

By Joe Martino, Collective Evolution

JANUARY 1, 2017

You see it all over the place and it’s only a matter of time before it’s trending on social media en mass: “F*ck you 2016,” “I can’t wait to be done with 2016,” “F*ck 2016,” etc. It’s likely you’ve seen this already, but if you haven’t, I’m sure you will soon.

If the prevalence of these phrases show us one thing it’s that 2016 was a challenging year for a lot of people! Personally, I can relate to this as I found 2016 kept throwing curveball after curveball at me. Many people around me experienced similar stuff as we all seemed to be pushed into looking at life differently.

What interests me most within this whole trend of calling out 2016 is the fact that it shows how we tend to respond to things that happen to us in life: we feel victim to it. This is not only a counterproductive mindset to have, but it also ensures that we repeat the same situation and event over and over again. I’ll explain as we go.

You are the reason your 2016 sucked; it’s a paradigm shift that will challenge us, but it’s the truth.

And So It Began

By about October I began seeing people posting GIFs and memes around the internet that helped people illustrate the ‘shit storm’ 2016 had been for them thus far. Watching a GIF of Chris Farley falling uncontrollably down a hill not only made me laugh but I could relate. 2016 had been a challenge!

Now, certainly any year can be tough for us: losing a job, multiple deaths in the family, or perhaps a challenging break up, but this year hit A LOT of people all at once; but, that in itself should be something that makes you think.

Collective Consciousness

In 2012, we released a film called The Collective Evolution 3: The Shift. That film explored a global shift in consciousness taking place that affects all of us in a number of ways. We explored the cosmic side, the scientific side, the ancient history side, and what many teachers are saying about this time. We concluded one thing after traveling for 30 days and working on this film for 2 years: we are living in one of the most fascinating and evolutionary times in history.

This is a big part of why everyone is getting their ‘ass kicked’ (so to speak) in 2016. This year has been a reflection of what humanity needs to go through and experience to begin seeing our world in a different light. To be frank, I believe we’re going to destroy ourselves if we don’t. This isn’t just about fear, but simply about realizing what life is trying to tell us: It’s time for a wake up call, to evolve our consciousness. And, on the bright side, it’s a lot more simple than we think.

P.S. I highly recommend watching the film to get a better idea of the bigger picture here.

How To Not Let Life Kick Your Ass So Much

First off, this is all a matter of perception. How you choose to judge a scenario is entirely up to you and your own mindset. You can see something as crappy or as an opportunity, the choice is yours.

Reality #1

Sometimes in life, we needed to get our asses kicked. There is no two ways about it. When we get into a state where we are living life day to day without ever thinking about what we truly want, what excited us and doing the things our soul is calling for us to be doing, life starts to get stagnant.

Suddenly, that push to get you moving NEEDS to come as something crazy, bad, challenging or scary because when that happens, we stop and think. We reflect. Why does it take something like that to get us to stop and reflect? Because we primarily live our lives unconsciously day to day, which is precisely what we have to change.

Reality #2

Let’s look at the responses to 2016 more deeply for a second. As people rant and swear and get upset at what 2016 ‘did to them,’ there is a certain energy put forth. People feel victimized. Not only that, but you get the sense that we look at the event, judge it and then move on and back to our everyday lives. But wait! What about the kick in the ass we JUST got? Shouldn’t we be asking why we reacted that way in the first place? What can I take from this experience? Why was I involved in this experience?

Now if you’re a person who believes life just happens and there is no reason for anything, this might not resonate with you and that’s OK, but even if you believe that, there is still so much more you can learn from many key experiences in your life.

What if we took the approach that what happened to you was happening to you for a reason, or maybe if you don’t want to get so cliché, you could say, “Whatever happens to you, there’s something that you can learn, there’s something that you can take from it.” Turn within and ask yourself certain questions that will not only pull you out of the victim state, but also enable you to take action and stop this stuff from happening in the future. Below there are some key questions to ask yourself next time you are in a ‘shitty’ situation.

Reality #3

You know what I mean about patterns, the ones we keep repeating… I’ve seen it happen thousands of times whether in my own life or in the lives of others. When you avoid the lessons that life keeps bringing to you over and over again you continually create that circumstance over and over, whether it’s a repeat relationship, being challenged by business partners, having a family member react towards you negatively, etc. There’s often something that we keep repeating and life is giving us that opportunity for a reason.

These experiences give us an opportunity to help understand what is really going on in our reality and how we can choose to flow more smoothly through what we’re experiencing and ultimately create change. To ride the wave as opposed to fighting against the current. It’s a massive shift in the way we perceive things, yes, and at first it might seem like we are letting life beat us down and win, but we’re truly not. We’re taking the higher road and ending the suffering.

The Key Questions

Next time you are in a situation and you can’t believe it’s happening, feel like shit about it, or that you think is someone else’s fault, ask yourself these questions. Trust me, it will end your negative pattern, victim feeling and put you on a path to change your situation and heal emotionally.

1. What emotions am I feeling as a result of this situation? (Just write them out or say them aloud, don’t think too much, FEEL.)

2. Do I find myself saying “When people do that it pisses me off” or some other pet peeve, pattern you keep seeing happen or belief you are running about how things should be?

3. Are you judging the situation under your own filter? Remove the judgement of it and the emotional trigger and then re-think about the situation.

4. If I remain humble, can I see my role in this? What am I causing or doing to contribute to it?

5. Why am I involved in this situation? I’m not here by accident, so what is this trying to show me about MYSELF?

These 5 questions are an incredibly powerful tool to help get to the bottom of not only the reason for your responses to certain situations that cause you suffering, but also help you break free and be more empowered without life needing to throw it at you again.

The more you practice this, the more things WILL NOT trigger you in the same way. Instead of being on an emotional roller coaster and getting mad every 5 seconds, you will have freedom from your emotions. This will allow you to experience them without getting lost in them.

Imagine a world where humanity deals with everyday circumstances in this way. It would create so much more peace on this planet, so much more growth, and so much more understanding. We would shift, evolve and change quickly as a collective and minimize suffering greatly.

So! As we go into 2017, remember this, and don’t create 2017 in the same way you created 2016. It’s up to us.

USA: A Couple Forced To Destroy 40-Year-Old Pond On Property Because Government Owns The Rainwater

A Couple Forced To Destroy 40-Year-Old Pond On Property Because Government Owns The Rainwater

By Alexa Erickson, Collective Evolution

December 31, 2016

Jon and Sabrina Carey live in Butte Falls, Oregon, on 10 acres of land. Though they only purchased the property two and a half years ago, the pond that resides there has been in place for 40 years. Now, the couple is being told by the government that they must destroy the two-acre pond.

“I basically bought a lemon,” said Jon in an interview with the Mail Tribune. “That’s how they explained it to me.” The Jackson County Watermaster’s office informed the couple that they don’t have any water rights to the pond.

They have tried pleading with the Medford Water Commission to adopt the pond and treat it as a municipal water source. The commission has rights to the watershed around the Careys’ property, where a large quanity of ponds are located, as well as Medford’s primary water source, but Jackson County Watermaster Larry Menteer has opposed the idea because of the example it would set.

The Careys are asking for the Water Commission to grant them a permit for municipal storage, so that the water could be used for emergency firefighting, wildlife habitat, and as an additional source for municipal needs. They have assured officials that they won’t use the water for their own purposes, but simply just want to save the pond, as without it, their property will be immensely devalued.

The Water Commission will be taking the couple’s request into consideration Wednesday, though the staff has reportedly recommended denying them.

The couple have made public their suspicions of water leaking from the Eagle Point Irrigation District canal above their property, which they believe may be seeping into their pond as a result.

Sabrina Carey said she looked into country records prior to buying the property, and it was clearly stated that it had a pond.

Jon Carey also said that, upon deciding to grow medical cannabis on his property, he had to prove that he had a viable water source. This is when the water master’s office informed the couple that the pond violated state regulations, and that the previous owners didn’t have a permit.

“When you’re honest, they take everything away from you,” Carey said, who is also concerned that, if they don’t receive some form of rights over the water, they could suffer severe money issues. “Now they want to put me in debt just to get rid of it,” he said.

The couple has now stopped using pond water, and because their well ran dry, they have been trucking water in from Butte Falls for their household and garden needs.

The Careys are among many other people in the watershed who have had issues with the water the government claims is theirs.

Eagle Point resident Gary Harrington was sent to jail for 90 days as a result of illegally holding onto about 13 million gallons of illegitimate rainwater. Harrington had created several ponds on his property, building docks for one complete with stocked largemouth bass. He said the water would help with fire control and prevention, but this didn’t go over well with the government, according to a “1925 state law [that] dictates that the water belongs to the Medford Water Commission.”

“The reservoir on Ms. Carey’s property, though small, is one of the largest in the area,” the Careys’ attorney, Sarah Liljefelt, said. She stated that, in the past, the pond has been used for fire suppression, and is accessible to fire trucks from Butte Falls Highway. Liljefelt also noted that the pond has been an important source of water for beavers, otters, elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, bobcat, bald eagle osprey, great blue heron, snowy egret, Canada geese, and the western pond turtle.

“This pond seems to be doing way more public good than not being here,” said Jon Carey. “Why, now, is it so important to be removed?”

New Moon In Capricorn: Taking It To The Next Level ~ Carmen DiLuccio

New Moon In Capricorn:

Taking It To The Next Level

By Carmen DiLuccio, Collective Evolution

December 29, 2016

We are having a New Moon in Capricorn on December 29th for most of the world, and late on the 28th for those on the West side of the Americas. The exact time will be at 6:53am Universal Time — you can click here for your time zone.

Each New Moon brings in a new wave of energy that plays out over the following 29 days, but more so in the 14 days leading up to the next Full Moon. A New Moon offers new opportunities to work with the energy of the sign it is occurring in.

New Moon Conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn

Capricorn is symbolized by the mountain goat (traditionally as a ‘Goat-fish’) that cautiously and ambitiously climbs to the top. It is pragmatic, masterful, responsible, and thrifty. Capricorn is also associated with resourcefulness, structures and management.

Mercury has been retrograde in this sign since December 19th, and will last until January 8th. This is a time in which we are reorienting ourselves around some of the qualities of Capricorn that were mentioned above. It is possible that disruptions, miscommunications, delays, or other problems that have occurred since the 19th are happening because we need to look at something in a new light to help us express some of these Capricorn themes in a new way.

This can be a great time for applying ourselves spiritually, creatively, and even selflessly. It is a great time for connecting with others from our past without conflict. However, this can also be a time when we can easily be careless or lose ourselves in something that is an escape from the real world, at a time when the real world is somewhat calling us.

With Mercury in Capricorn applying a trine to the North Node in Virgo, it is good consider and reflect on our approach to management and sustainability on behalf of creating a better future.

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is in a tight square aspect to Chiron, which could bring up limitations as a result of our wounds and/or blockages. However, it can also be a great time to get serious with ourselves and do whatever hard work is required to try to move beyond any inadequacies.

Uranus Opposition Jupiter in Aspect With Saturn

We are also experiencing a strong opposition between Jupiter and Uranus with Saturn involved, and Pluto somewhat in the mix as well. Over the previous week or two, many people have experienced some surprises or rebelliousness toward what is fair or just. In some cases, hidden matters have been brought to light.

With Saturn in Sagittarius in a harmonious aspect with Jupiter and Uranus, this is a time to look at the big picture in a realistic way to determine what is balanced, fair, and/or what will satisfy different parties involved. Applying ourselves towards anything innovative at this time can yield tangible results in the long term. I wrote more about this energy in my recent Mercury Retrograde article.

Making Intentions and Things to Consider

Think of what has come up in your life recently. Have you come across new information or anything that could assist you? Perhaps the Universe is showing you that you need to change something? Perhaps you are considering changing your goals because of recent developments?

These are some examples of what could be coming up for you. If you plan on making intentions, my suggestion is to consider your goals for 2017. Focus your intentions on what you would like to create this year and what you can do over the next month to help you get a solid start. The new year in the Gregorian calendar has significance in numerology and 2017 is a ‘1’ year collectively, which is great for new beginnings.

The best time to set your intentions is within the first 24 hours after the New Moon, as close to the New Moon as possible. You can click here to find out when it will be in your time zone.
