“The great war machines of the world are now massing together. In the Holy Land we see the beginning of the end for earth. Once again Egypt and Israel. Is it not significant? And it shall grow and grow. The greatest battle that has ever been seen shall take place not only amongst those who fight their fellowmen but also amongst the elements. The Earth itself will find a battlefield. The Forces of nature shall be unleashed because of man’s wrong thinking and doing, as he has worshipped in word and not deed, and has not served the Master.” Quote from the book Secret of the Andes by Brother Philip. 1961.
We seem to be at ground zero. A reality where sick little boys and their life killing toys are playing war. The conflicts are financed by a bunch of devil worshipping elites, egged on by greedy corporations and their political hacks. The agenda is to murder billions of people and rule over whatever is left in their new smart world.
The hybrids that masquerade as human have done a wonderful job in their take over of humanity. They own the main stream media and this gives them the opportunity to manipulate our perspectives, shape our perception, and do our thinking for us.
It’s so easy for the few to control the many. All that is necessary is a propaganda machine of distraction that keeps the herd mentality entertained with lies, misdirection, fear and trivia while the real stuff that we all should know about is hidden from our view.
Asleep at the wheel
We have been carefully engineered to live life as a label. Whether it be sex, religion, culture, race, class, politics, etc. We as human beings have been constantly divided and divided….split apart with surgical precision until our identity and our awareness has become racially and culturally compartmentalised. Then, through their propaganda machines, the elite foment war and exploit for their own agendas the energy of the division they have created. Staged traumatic events are shown over and over in the media imprinting a horror event, and the outrage that follows such events on the targeted human psyche. Charismatic actors working for the dark side whip up human emotion by lies and deception. History has shown us the lies, the false events that have led to the deaths of millions of innocent people. It just keeps happening because most people are asleep at the wheel of their lives and are only half alive.
Wake up for pity’s sake
Why won’t people wake up? Demand an end to the carnage of war. Stand up to tyranny.
Lights on no one home
Humans have lost the plot. They are so absorbed by their ego’s, their intellects and digital playgrounds that they are not present in the real world at all. Is this an awareness zombie apocalypse? It sure looks like it to me. The herd have no idea what is happening outside of their bubble reality. They are living the illusion of normalcy bias, blindly walking into a slaughterhouse of anarchy and murder.
The beginning of the end
Planetary destruction is already underway. Spreading like a cancerous growth across the face of the earth, poisoning the soil of creation with depleted uranium, thousands of miles of mines, zillions of gun shells, missiles, grenades and other munitions. Once fertile lands, home to humans and wildlife are now blood soaked poisoned wastelands, and the seas and rivers fare no better.
We are destroying our home planet and everything on it. How stupid and moronic is that?
WW3 – Uranus is in Taurus and world war 3 is a given. Mad Max is now in control of the world and no doubt some devil infested war hawk will use nuclear weapons…and that will be ‘all she wrote.’ And when the dust settles, the hybrid families will emerge from their underground cities, round up what is left of us and complete their agenda for the technocratic serfdom of humanity.
Will our handlers succeed? Maybe in one time line they will.
Always a bright side
We live in a duality, right! Therefore there has to be at least two timelines operating in our version of the matrix. It could be argued that each life is its own timeline within a greater timeline or vibrational wave of awareness. In our present timeline, humanity operates upon the Fourth Ray in a fire dimension – harmony through conflict. And, as we expand our awareness it is likely that other time lines on other Rays of Being will become available through harmonic resonance.
The reason we cannot access other timelines in our present state is because we are very limited in our spiritual awareness. This is due to the electromagnetic manipulation of our psychic centres(pineal and crown chakra). Therefore, it is hard for us to fathom such things as parallel universes and timelines. It is so foreign to the status quo narrative that we have been indoctrinated with that few understand it…and most are not capable of entertaining such ideas. I think many people do not have a clue about how energetically compromised we are as a species.
The Shift of Ages is Now….“Come out from them and be separate,” says the Lord. “Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. And, I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.
The incoming cosmic wave, the Avatar of Synthesis, the Rapture, the evolution of the life waves, the incoming energy has many names, and vibrates at a much higher octave of awareness than the energy of our five sense-centric world. This is our salvation, a chance to get a spiritual upgrade because just like a tuning fork we can use our intent to resonate with the incoming vibratory pattern.
We have to want it
We have to want a spiritual upgrade. Want it with every fibre of our being. There is no going half way anymore. To get an upgrade we have to be ready for it. We have to clean up our act. I have written many posts about the importance of self discovery…of turning in and viewing our lives. Coming to terms with what hypocrites we were, and still are, and doing something about it. We need to examine our motivation in our dealings with other people….do we have an agenda? Be true and honest to ourselves and confront the things we’ve done in the past that we are not so proud of. Forgiveness and gratitude pave the way to a new time line….one we can collectively create in our image-in-ation.
When we aspire to spiritual connection with the Source, we begin to interpret life in a different way. We watch our thoughts because we are aware that our mind… the voice in our heads can easily take control of our thinking and emotions. We are also spiritually called upon to deeply examine our relationship with the kingdoms of nature and the eating of soul imbued creatures. This is essential for those of us who wish for a brighter, lighter timeline.
Do you really love animals?
If we profess to love animals, we should ask ourselves if this is really true. We love our dog or cat but if we are to be honest a lot of our ‘so called love’ is selfish by intent. If we truly love the creatures then we would protect them not destroy and eat them. Our world, our energetic reality, is saturated with the suffering of animals. And we wonder why humans suffer….
We fail to see the connection. The throwing of the boomerang of cruelty will be repaid in kind. No one gets away with anything.
Spiritual anchor
What do you think happens to your energetic integrity when you eat misery, fear, and cruelty?
Our energetic resonance instantly falls into the realm of carnism: the eating of dead flesh. The only difference is we pay someone to slaughter our food. Animals, fish and birds, insects…all of life has become a commodity in our minds, something to be farmed and harvested…a trade in corpses to be bought and sold.
That’s a demonic resonance if you ask me.
If we wish to transcend this violent reality we have to work to protect life, not hurt it. For that Art Thou: the stainless truth of The One Life.
There is no way out of this understanding apart from denial and cognitive dissonance. And, no amount of prayers is going make a figs worth of difference energetically…..just consider the resonance of the source.
Amazing things are taking place. It’s time to wake up!…. Or not.

Hallucinogenic compounds are becoming more widely discussed and researched as interest in alternative medical applications continues to rise. Salvia divinorum is highly researched, but not always discussed as much as other hallucinogens like psilocybin or Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).
Salvia divinorum, a member of the Laminaceae family, is native to Southwestern Mexico. The plant has been historically used by the local Mazatec shamans for spiritual and medicinal purposes, including everything from insect bites and eczema to depression and alcohol addiction. More recently, the plant has gained global attention due to the potent hallucinogen it contains, salvinorin A.
Salvinorin A, the main active compound in Salvia divinorum, exhibits unique pharmacological properties. Unlike other hallucinogens such as LSD or psilocybin that interact with serotonin receptors, salvinorin A acts on k-opioid receptors (KORs) in the brain. This interaction is responsible for the intense yet short-lasting hallucinogenic experiences reported by users.
The recreational use of Salvia divinorum has been largely facilitated by its legal status in many parts of the world and its accessibility via online botanical companies. Users typically smoke or chew the leaves of the plant to induce a psychedelic experience that can range from laughter and revisiting memories to deeper spiritual experiences.
Therapeutic Potential of Salvia divinorum
Emerging research suggests that Salvia divinorum may have therapeutic benefits beyond its traditional and recreational uses. “S. divinorum can be used as an alternative therapy for inflammatory and neuropathic pain, due in part to the presence of salvinorin A, a powerful KOR agonist and an allosteric modulator of CB1 receptors”. [1]
In terms of addiction, the activation of KORs by salvinorin A may help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in individuals with substance use disorders. Researchers stated that “salvinorins and their analogues can be a suitable therapeutic alternative without the risk of producing addiction”. [1]
Similarly, its potential as an analgesic could be beneficial for chronic pain management. The anti-inflammatory action of salvinorin A also suggests possible applications in conditions characterized by inflammation.
Salvinorin A
This compound is the main psychotropic constituent of Salvia Divinorum and it is considered a dissociative hallucinogen. Differently from other hallucinogenic compounds such as mescaline, psilocybin etc. it doesn’t contain a nitrogen atom in its structure, thus it can’t be considered an alkaloid. Salvinorin A is the first known compound acting as a kappa opioid receptor agonist without being an alkaloid, but a terpenoid. Once absorbed in the oral mucosa, this compound is efficiently cleared in the gastrointestinal system. For possible therapeutic applications, alternative administration routes should be found.
Salvinorin A is soluble in solvents such as acetone and , but not at the same level in water. This hallucinogenic substance has been reported to have an addiction potential, risk of harm through intoxication, and tendency to increase drug abuse in several countries.[2]
Risks and Further Research
Despite the promising therapeutic potential of Salvia divinorum, its use is not without risks. The intense hallucinogenic effects can induce panic or anxiety in some users, and there is limited knowledge about its long-term effects. The lack of regulation also poses a significant risk, as it allows for widespread recreational use without standardized dosing or safety guidelines.
The authors of the study propose that more comprehensive research is needed to fully understand the mechanism of action, potential medical applications, and possible side effects of Salvia divinorum. They emphasize the importance of continued scientific investigation into this unique plant and its potent active compound, salvinorin A.
The potential for Salvia divinorum to contribute to the field of medicine, particularly in areas such as addiction treatment, pain management, and inflammation, provides a compelling case for its further study.
Ultimately, Salvia divinorum is a plant with a rich history of traditional use and a growing body of scientific research. Its unique effects and potential therapeutic applications make it an intriguing subject for the scientific and medical communities. As our understanding of this plant continues to evolve, it exemplifies the vast and largely untapped potential of natural psychoactive substances in both recreational and therapeutic contexts.

(Globe Newswire) Toronto — Cronos Group Inc., an innovative global cannabinoid company, today announced that its brand, Spinach®, closed 2023 as the number one ranked flower brand in Canada with a 6.9 per cent market share in the fourth quarter. Spinach® flower products have resonated strongly with consumers, leading to a significant increase in its ranking from the fourth best-selling flower brand in 2022, to become the best-selling flower brand in Canada in 2023.
Capturing the leading position in flower rounds out a strong year of growth and innovation for the Spinach® product portfolio, which is ranked as the second best-selling cannabis brand in Canada across all categories as of December 2023. In the fourth quarter, Spinach® products held a number 1 position in the flower and edibles categories, and a top-10 ranking in the pre-rolls and vape categories.
In 2023, the Spinach® team successfully launched six new flower SKUs and seven new pre-roll SKUs. Less than a year after its launch in market, the Spinach® Fully Charged Atomic GMO-infused pre-roll won “Best Pre-Roll” at the 2023 Grow Up Awards in October. The Spinach® brand’s 2023 successes were also highlighted by becoming the best-selling edible brand in Canada with its widely popular SOURZ by Spinach® and Spinach FEELZ™ gummies.
“We’re thrilled to end 2023 by demonstrating our strong capabilities to win in flower, the largest product category in the global cannabis market,” said Jeff Jacobson, chief growth officer, Cronos. “We are proud of the hard work our team has put into expanding and refining our flower portfolio, which consistently delivers on consumer expectations and has built Cronos and its brands awareness in Canada and internationally.

It’s amazing what will trend online these days, and here at Garden Culture, we have a few posts that gain more traction than others. One of the top searches on our website is the humble and wholesome tiger nut; people want to know what it is, what it does for you, and how to grow tiger nuts at home.
What are Tiger Nuts?
The tiger nuts we’re talking about here don’t belong to tigers (if you catch my drift), and they’re not nuts either. Harvested from the yellow nutsedge plant, they’re striped tubers similar to sweet potatoes (but smaller). They’re called nuts because they’re about the same size and taste like almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts.
Tiger nuts are high in antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them an excellent addition to your diet. They’re believed to help regulate blood sugar and digestion. You can eat them boiled, roasted, or raw.
Some people like to bake with tiger nut flour or drink tiger nut milk, but you can also add them to smoothies, granola and yogurt or eat a handful as a snack.
Homegrown Tiger Nuts
People have been cultivating tiger nuts for centuries! According to Forbes, records point to this superfood being used as far back as Neolithic Egypt before spreading to other parts of the world.
Yellow nutsedge is a weed, which makes it reasonably easy to grow in most climates. Foraging in the wild is possible as long as you know what you’re looking for. Growing your own at home is easy!
You should yield a decent bumper crop of tiger nuts if you grow this crop in full sun and well-draining soil rich in compost. Yellow nutsedge likes to be watered regularly.
Sow seeds about a half inch deep in April or May and fertilize with compost tea about a month later. Tiger nuts should be ready to harvest in about three or four months, and while they’ll likely survive if protected throughout a mild winter, it’s best to consider them an annual crop.
Remember, yellow nutsedge is a weed and will spread like one, too. It can quickly overtake the garden, so consider growing in large containers, fabric pots, or planting in the ground with a root barrier. You harvest tiger nuts as you would potatoes, so growing in buckets isn’t out of the question!
After harvest, carefully clean the tiger nuts. Drying them will help them keep for several months, even up to a year! You can also grind the harvest into flour or use it to make ‘nut’ milk. Whatever you choose, you’ll be reaping a ton of health benefits from tiger nuts!
A recently published Congressional Research Service (CRS) report has highlighted the potential shortcomings of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) marijuana rescheduling recommendation. Last year, the HHS published a series of documents recommending that the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reschedule marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. HHS officials justified the recommendation on the grounds that cannabis currently has “accepted medical uses” and thus did not meet the conditions required of Schedule I drugs.
Rescheduling cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III would finally make it legal for doctors to prescribe marijuana at the federal level and would be a major step forward for the country’s medical marijuana industry. However, Congressional researchers argue that the rescheduling recommendation has many shortcomings. The recent report outlined the legal consequences of rescheduling marijuana.
It noted that the country’s state marijuana markets would still be illegal at the federal level and certain cannabis activity-related criminal penalties would remain in place even if cannabis is rescheduled. According to the CRS, approving the rescheduling without any additional legal changes would not make the state legal recreational and medical marijuana industries compliant with the federal Controlled Substances Act.
The report said that while moving cannabis to Schedule III would make it legal for doctors to prescribe it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would first have to approve cannabis medicines before federal law allows physicians to prescribe cannabis.
Additionally, the manufacturers and distributors of any cannabis products that receive FDA approval would have to register with the DEA and meet regulatory requirements for drugs in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act before they can begin handling their respective products. Medical marijuana users would also need to acquire prescriptions from licensed medical providers that will most likely be subject to different federal requirements. The report adds that the rescheduling will only change certain criminal penalties while some marijuana-related penalties would remain unchanged.
On a positive note, the report noted that the rescheduling would finally allow cannabis businesses to deduct their business expenses when they file their federal taxes, something they have been unable to do since the industry’s inception due to federal prohibition. The CRS report also said that regardless of how the rescheduling issue plays out, the Justice Department wouldn’t be able to interfere with state medical cannabis programs, thanks to an appropriations rider renewed annually by Congress since 2012.
As long as the rider remains in place, the report explains, players in America’s state-legal medical cannabis industry will be protected from federal prosecution as long as they comply with state cannabis law.
Despite these shortcomings revealed in the CRS report, cannabis industry actors and ancillary companies such as Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) are likely to see the rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule III as a step in the right direction. Other reforms can follow this significant step in due course.

A recent study involving 8,367 patients undergoing treatment for opioid-use disorder has challenged the notion that cannabis serves as an effective remedy for overcoming opioid addiction. The study, published in “The American Drug and Alcohol Abuse” Journal, revealed that marijuana, when used outside of medical supervision, fails to exert any noteworthy impact on opioid consumption.
The study carries significant implications for treatment programs in the United States, some of which impose a prerequisite for patients to abstain from marijuana before qualifying for life-saving interventions. This is predicated on the idea that people who use cannabis are more inclined to use opioids for nonmedical purposes.
The study also casts doubt on the competing and growingly popular theory that suggests cannabis can help wean individuals with opioid-use disorder off of opioids. Opioids, while effective in alleviating pain, harbor the risk of addiction, contributing to an ongoing crisis in the United States.
The nation witnesses approximately 120 daily deaths resulting from opioid-related overdoses, while the economic toll of opioid addiction and related fatalities surpasses $1 trillion annually.
While the most common justification for medical cannabis legalization is pain management, more and more states are expanding the list of acceptable cannabis-treatable diseases to include problems that can be treated with opioids, including the disorder in certain instances. The researchers attributed this in part to the perception that cannabis is less dangerous now that it is allowed for recreational use in several states.
Nevertheless, the study fails to provide clarity on whether marijuana aids or impedes the treatment of opioid addiction. While certain studies suggest that marijuana helps mitigate pain and alleviate opioid-withdrawal symptoms, others propose that it may elevate the likelihood of reverting to opioid use.
The study, a meta-analysis consolidating data from 10 long-term trials, spanned an average of 10 months. Participants were monitored for nonmedical opioid use, encompassing the consumption of opioids not prescribed to them and exceeding prescribed dosages. The study compared the frequency of such use between cannabis users and nonusers.
The results revealed no discernible connection between marijuana use and the rates of nonprescribed opioid use. According to the authors, the results neither support nor refute worries that cannabis use may increase the use of nonprescribed opioids in patients receiving treatment for opioid addiction.
The authors cautioned, however, that the study had limitations, including inconsistencies in the methodologies of the studies incorporated into the meta-analysis and systematic review. This includes variances in the baseline condition of opioid usage as well as disparities in the methods used to measure cannabis and opioid use. Furthermore, while the findings are relevant to cannabis usage in general, people with cannabis-use disorders could not benefit from them.
This research goes to show that patients who are using medical marijuana products from one of the many entities such as Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) need to consult an experienced professional before trying marijuana for the different health conditions they want help with.
