Contentment is the knowledge, throughout the many dimensions of our being and regardless of external circumstances, that all is well.
We lose contentment due to:
1. Lack of present moment awareness, primarily as a result of stored memories of trauma. Due to the content of our subconscious mind, we unconsciously re-live, in the present-time, reaction to events from the past, and have anxiety about events that have not occurred. When we are affected in this way, we broadcast a distortion field of upset, anger, fear, mistrust, and unhappiness that repels the positive opportunities normally awaiting us. At a higher level of awareness, we know that in this way we are repelling opportunities, and are disturbed by that recognition.
2. Misinterpreting the distortion fields of other people and places as our own. For example, the massive broadcasting of bad news and a climate of fear can be internalized as our own if we are not attentive.
3. Aligning with ancient, primitive characteristics of warring tribalism (built on a model of scarcity and the defense of “mine”) rather than aligning with the evolved modern possibilities of cooperative alliances that multiply the opportunities for sustaining outcomes.
The FlorAlive® UNCUT Flower™ frequencies have uplifting “bandwidths” which act as cancelling frequencies to the “bandwidths” of the following disruptive “attractor fields”. (An attractor field is a frequency generated by the summation of our being at any moment, and draws experience to us based on the harmonics or distortion fields we are emitting. For example, if we are resonating with fear, we have a good chance of drawing experience to us that will evoke fear.)
In a stepwise fashion, each time we eliminate or diminish one of the defeating attractor fields above, we rise up on the scale of contentment. The Abundant Life Program™ was created to clear the defeating attractor fields above (and many more) over the course of three to four months.
Twenty-two years ago – when it became very quickly clear to me that the official 9/11 story doesn’t make sense whatsoever unless you see the official story as a fairy tale when the laws of physics were suspended, and common sense lost its meaning – I tried to “wake up” others to see through this mother of all false flag attacks. It was when I started writing my blog and even gave out printed leaflets with my writings from door to door, at stores, and even at shows with my band – the good old days before social media.
Back then, I was naive, for I thought a massive event like that would surely wake people to the truth, but I was mistaken. I learned a valuable lesson that was reinforced each anniversary over the past 22 years because the official 9/11 lie is still firmly in place in the consensus mainstream crowd, if you haven’t noticed. And the same applies to everything that happened over the past three years with this so-called “pandemic.”
Don’t kid yourself that there will be a “collective mass awakening” anytime soon. Yes, for some people, it has initiated a deeper awakening, but many others have sunken more into delusion, and billions of people have taken the jab, which is also detrimental to their soul development (and future incarnations). The jab also gets them primed for the transhumanism take-over of body, soul, and mind, hence the “splitting of humanity,” as many esoteric traditions have foreseen.
You can not and will never ever wake up people en mass via information alone, nor can you force information on people they are not ready for and didn’t ask for in the first place. It’s a violation of free will to give without being asked.
Sure, you can sow some seeds of awareness, and some may blossom, but nothing will ever fundamentally change by information alone, nor will you or I ever understand what “the matrix” is on an intellectual, informational mind level alone.
I’m referring to true awakening, i.e., self-realization and union with the Divine, not some intellectual awareness of the “matrix” and the lies and corruption in the world, which many people mistake for an “awakening” and keeps people only entrapped in the cave, distracted by the shadows on the wall as depicted in Plato’s allegory of the cave. In my current state of Being, I would never claim to be awake in the true meaning of the word.
Hence, it’s also necessary to engage in the necessary inner psychological work, especially shadow and trauma work, so we don’t fall into the trap of spiritual bypassing and over-estimate our level of Being and “awakened state” or mistake all kinds of aspects of our conditioned and ego personality for the soul.
Over the past two decades, I’ve seen many “truth seekers” retake the blue pill (like Cypher in the film) as they age because this path is not for everyone. Dealing with the isolation and attacks of the sleeping masses is far from easy, and the matrix temptations are too alluring – better to go back to sleep and be happy in the dream state.
But I’ve seen people also getting lost In the conspiracy wormhole, becoming extremely paranoid and psychologically unstable, seeing traps and controlled opposition everywhere. There is lots of nonsense out there in the fringe conspiracy world with deliberate entrapments. They have become trapped in their minds, caught in the “2nd matrix” within the labyrinth of their confused minds, as Neil Kramer coined it.
I’ve seen people take the New Age pill as a trauma coping mechanism, identifying as “star seeds” or “light workers” or as any kind of alien race just not “human,” which the wounded ego always likes to feed off in order to feel “special.”
They still wait for the Galactic Federation of Light and aliens to save them and arrest the bad guys, or they still wait for NESARA/GESARA to give them free money and abundance. [That idea, by the way, originated from highly corrupted “channeled material” in the early 90s].
And now we have a new trend of New Agers becoming “reborn” Christians and the rise of a very medieval dogmatic fundamentalist Christian movement that couldn’t be further from the real Christian esoteric teachings [before the church hijacked and distorted it and before even the bible was written [and edited over and over again.] It’s also a trauma response – the need to identify with a religion, teaching, or anything in order to avoid the pain within. It’s unconscious.
There is also a new wave of young New Agers spouting “high vibration cosmic updates” nonsense on TikTok and IG; some of them weren’t even born when 9/11 happened or were just babies. I’ve heard and seen every little thing they talk about before in the 90s. It’s like a strange time-loop déjà vu. In time, they will learn their lessons too.
I also had a little New Age detour in my 20s, so I see it with compassion, but God snapped me out of it quickly via tough grace. But I certainly didn’t take the religious “only Jesus saves” matrix savior trap based on corrupted religious teachings [some people never question the Bible either but take the written stories and phrases literally [as opposed to understanding the underlying esoteric metaphors] and as the “word of God” that can’t be questioned.] Organized religion has always been a mechanism for social control.
Most people still externalize, seeing only evil externally in the world or waiting for someone to save the day, be it Jesus, Trump, Musk, Aliens, or whoever fits their projections and identifications. And that’s ironically how the matrix keeps itself in place, and that’s why not much has changed since that fateful day 22 years ago. I mean change in levels of being and consciousness.
Only now, people’s attention span is even shorter due to social media, and the average IQ has officially dropped over the years, too. It’s always easier to control people who are dumbed down with distractions and information overload that enhance their ADHD.
Not many people turn their vision within, confronting their own darkness, and in the process, connecting to their inner light and then acting, doing, and creating from that space in alignment with essence and the Divine. I’m not saying it’s easy, far from it. I’m not always connected and have my days.
In fact, it’s brutal at times. Sometimes, there is dark despair and strong resistance when I’m being pulled into the depths of my being to bring down the light.
Now I really understand why Sri Aurobindo said, “None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell” – the law of ascent and descent – a divine law mirrored in many other esoteric traditions. He’s referring to the internal process of transformation – the shamanic descent into the underworld to be reborn in the true Self as a conscious transducer for Divine Will.
The internal battle is far more challenging than any external battle I’ve ever fought, and it’s very humbling. Even all the trolls, haters, and personal attacks over the past 20 years don’t come close to the internal struggle.
But this is the way to transform the world, for nothing out there will ever change if your level of being [soul embodiment] doesn’t change. This work is a battle, for there are ancient occult forces in unseen realms that won’t give up their grip and control so easily. They tag right into every single human being, for the war is THROUGH us, always has been, and the matrix is a mind program.
Free will is, for most people, an illusion, for there can’t be free will if you don’t know yourself [beyond your ego personality] and are not aware of your unconscious programmed and mechanical ways of behavior.
As long as you are only externally focused, the matrix forces have you where they want you to be, acting as their conduit, distracted by the shadows on the wall, feeding the polarization of shadow projections between “two sides” as they feed off the generated loosh or people’s complacency of avoiding truth and the darkness within and without.
Yet, the opportunity for a true awakening is always there, and especially now during this Time of Transition, Right here. Right now. We always have a choice, but no one can do it for you, nor can you do it for another.
A recent investigation has revealed a significant disparity in safety standards between marijuana cultivated for Canada’s legal market and that intended for the illicit market. A staggering 92% of unregulated marijuana samples were found to contain various pesticides, while this figure plummeted to a mere 6% for regulated products.
The findings, published recently in the “Cannabis Research” Journal, involved scrutinizing 36 cannabis samples procured from licensed dispensaries and 24 illicit samples confiscated by regulatory agencies. The objective was to ascertain whether the products had been cultivated or had come into contact with any of the 327 diverse pesticides on record.
The results for legally produced cannabis were strikingly favorable, with only 6% exhibiting contamination. These traces were limited to two pesticide residues: dichlobenil and myclobutanil. On the other hand, pesticides were distressingly widespread in the samples from the illegal market, affecting a staggering 92% of samples. The study pinpointed the existence of 23 different pesticide ingredients, with an average of 3.7 distinct pesticides detected in each sample. Researchers found myclobutanil, imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos in the illegal samples, reaching quantities up to three orders of magnitude higher than the method’s lowest calibrated standard of 0.01 g/g.
Nevertheless, despite the small percentage of regulated samples displaying minimal pesticide content, the authors commended the significant strides made within Canada’s licensed marijuana sector. Prior to the introduction of mandatory testing in 2019, contamination levels hovered around 30%.
The study authors emphasized the uniqueness of their research as it comprehensively delved into pesticide residues across both licensed and illegal marijuana markets in a nation where the substance has been legalized. They emphasized that their findings support the government’s advisory, warning that “consuming illicit products could result in adverse harms and effects. Testing of unregulated marijuana has found contaminants like bacteria, arsenic, lead, and pesticides.”
In essence, these findings reaffirm the long-standing assertions of marijuana reform advocates: Regulating cannabis sales provides consumers with safer and higher-quality products.
A different study that looked at marijuana testing standards in state markets in the United States last year discovered that the inconsistent legal framework had confused the general public, underscoring the urgent need for a uniform regulatory strategy and national-level guidelines on the contaminant restrictions in cannabis. However, creating such a comprehensive framework faces significant challenges due to federal prohibition. While the Environmental Protection Agency has cleared the use of specific pesticides for hemp following its federal legalization through the 2018 Farm Bill, the agency has refrained from extending the same approval to cannabis while it remains prohibited.
This study goes to show that licensed marijuana companies such as Verano Holdings Corp. (CSE: VRNO) (OTCQX: VRNOF) are good for public health reasons and the findings create an urgency for stamping out the cannabis black market in order to reduce the harms arising from consuming tainted marijuana products.

Police in Chatham-Kent, Ontario say they recently seized more than $6 million worth of cannabis from an illegal facility.
On September 8, 2023, members of the Chatham-Kent Police Intelligence Section, with the assistance of the Chatham-Kent Police K9 Unit, executed the search warrant on Story Street in Blenheim as part of an investigation.
Story Street is less than a kilometer long, with both homes and industrial buildings. Blenheim is located about an hour and a half southwest of London Ontario and three and a half hours form Toronto.
Police say they seized approximately $6.1 million worth of illegal cannabis plants in varying stages of growth. Although police did not specify how many plants were seized, police in Canada generally value a cannabis plant at $1,000 each.
A 40-year-old Blenheim man and a 41-year-old Toronto man were both arrested and charged with cultivating illegal cannabis contrary to the Cannabis Act.
Both men were transported to police headquarters and released with conditions and a future court date of October 12, 2023.Such busts are not uncommon in Southern Ontario, or Chatham-Kent, specifically. In early 2021, Chatham-Kent Police said they had seized more than $25M worth of cannabis plants from four large scale illicit grow operations in the previous six months, including over $7,300,000 in cannabis in a raid of a large greenhouse in September 2020.
One of Canada’s leading cannabis producers attributes its success to identifying and addressing gaps within the industry.
Despite tales of woe from many companies in Canada’s cannabis sector, BC’s Adastra Labs is highlighting its success selling an array of cannabis concentrates, vape pens, flower, and pre-rolls through more than 1,600 retailers across Canada under the brands Endgame Extracts and Phyto Extractions.
In Q1 2023, Adastra shipped a record volume of 379,343 grams of cannabis products to fill over 1,300 orders, representing an increase of 152 percent over the average monthly shipments during 2022.
Adastra’s CEO, Michael Forbes, says their 248 percent revenue growth for the first half of 2023 compared to the first six months of the previous year is largely due to the Adastra team’s market understanding and the focus on high-quality products that meet consumer expectations.
“At Adastra, our success in the face of industry challenges can be attributed to a combination of strategic decisions, a commitment to excellence, and the remarkable dedication of our team,” Forbes tells StratCann.
“We’ve positioned ourselves as a cost-effective operator, allowing us to offer competitive pricing to our customers. This has not only attracted new business but has also fostered loyalty among our existing clients.”
Forbes adds that, under his leadership, Adastra has kept a low burn rate and level of debt, which has helped distinguish it from other licenced producers posting losses.
“We are committed to continuous cost optimization through our proactive approach to reducing overhead expenses and effectively managing our already low debt. Unlike many of our competitors burdened by heavy debt loads, our only debt is tied to our Langley facility’s mortgage. Furthermore, we are actively exploring avenues to further reduce our debt.
“In essence, we’re not only focused on short-term gains but also on building a resilient and adaptable business that can thrive in any economic climate. Our team’s dedication and strategic thinking have been the driving forces behind our growth, and we remain committed to staying ahead of the curve and delivering value to our customers and stakeholders.”
Forbes took on the role of CEO of Phyto Extractions in May 2021, a brand with roots in the legacy market. The new CEO says he and his team immediately initiated a comprehensive restructuring, transforming Phtyo into Adastra Holdings Ltd. in September 2021. Adastra means “to the stars” in Latin.
“Listening to legacy experts and extractors and understanding customer preferences were paramount in our restructuring,” explains Forbes. “This enabled us to infuse their success strategies into our transformation. Our steady growth is a result of our team’s dedicated efforts and strategic decisions. While evolving from Phyto to Adastra, our journey has been marked by adaptation and an unyielding focus on delivering exceptional value to our customers and the industry.”
Rather than trying to force products on the market, Forbes says Adastra’s team listens to retailers and consumers to see what is needed and then strives to meet those demands.
“Our success comes from an interesting way of working with customers—our unique backward approach. We listen carefully to what customers want and understand what they need. Then, we create products that directly match what they’re looking for and sell to them.
“This way of doing things has made a huge difference. By making our innovation process all about what customers need, we’ve made products that people really like. Our team is central to this achievement. Their diligent efforts to create and implement new ideas stand as a major driver behind our success.”
With this increasing success in the cannabis space, Forbes points out that Adastra is also leveraging their 13,500 sq. ft. Health Canada licensed facility in Langley, BC, for potential drug developments involving controlled substances. This is possible through the company’s recently renewed Controlled Drug and Substances Dealer’s License from Health Canada, valid until 2026. “We are well-prepared to provide to other licensed medical professionals,” says Forbes. He also highlights that the license prioritizes responsible use and does not involve the sale of controlled substances to the general public.
“Our adaptability extends beyond facility usage to potential diversification avenues. We have the ability to vertically integrate into our wholly owned third-party analytical facility, Adastra Analytics. This integrated capability showcases our commitment to exploring diverse income streams, exemplifying our readiness to seize new opportunities”.
While the cannabis industry grows and new production and retail licenses are issued each week, an increasing number of companies are calling it quits due to high debt or difficulty navigating a tightly regulated industry. Forbes highlights that Adastra’s growth trajectory is due to sticking to fundamentals that ensure they spend wisely and focus on what consumers actually want.
Michael Forbes, CEO AdAstra Holdings Inc.
Forbes notes that making more money than you spend is the foundation of a successful business. “Keep a close watch on your financial situation and make wise choices to maintain a healthy bottom line.
“Secondly, listen to your customers and pay attention to industry trends. Customer preferences and market conditions can change quickly. Staying informed will help you adjust your offerings to match what people want. Use industry trends as guides for your decisions, as adapting to market shifts and consumer behaviour can give you a competitive edge.
Lastly, we want to change how people see cannabis. Even though it’s safer than alcohol, there’s still a bad stigma. We’re focused on educating people to clear up misunderstandings and encourage responsible use. As more people learn, the negative view of cannabis will hopefully change.”
A registered pharmacist by training, Forbes established a chain of compounding pharmacies focused on addressing personalized health needs throughout BC and Alberta.
In addition to his leadership at Adastra, Forbes has launched several ventures in the cannabis and health space. Leveraging his experience in drug formulations and retail pharmacies, he established medical cannabis clinics under the Concord Medical Clinic label, expanded Clarity Cannabis and Honeycomb Cannabis retailers across multiple locations, and founded the licensed cultivation facility Sitka Weed Works on Vancouver Island, with a focus on micro products.
California Assembly members have approved a psychedelic legalization measure passed by the Senate before sending it back to the Senate for discussions on recent amendments. The bill could potentially land on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk once it advances through the Senate, putting California on track to legalize psychedelic use for eligible adults.
Senator Scott Wiener introduced the measure to legalize the cultivation and possession of small amounts of entheogenic fungi and plants for adults aged 21 years and older.
The California Assembly passed the psychedelic legalization measure in a 42 to 11 vote.
Wiener said Californian first responders, veterans and other residents dealing with issues such as addiction, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) “deserve access” to alternative medicines showing promise for effective treatment. He noted that Bill SB 58 leveraged feedback gained from three years of engagement with a wide variety of industry stakeholders to put “prudent safeguards” in place.
A recent influx of studies has revealed that psychedelics may be able to treat a wide variety of mental conditions with minimal side effects, making them a potential alternative to traditional mental-health treatments. These studies have found that hallucinogenic compounds including psilocybin, LSD and ketamine have the potential to treat conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, treatment-resistant depression and even eating disorders.
According to Weiner, psychedelics are not addictive and have exhibited “tremendous promise” in the management of some of the many hard-to-treat mental disorders contributing to America’s mental-health crisis. He said that it is now time to stop criminalizing psychedelic use for personal well-being or healing purposes.
Wiener’s decriminalization measure would allow eligible adults to possess, use and create a framework for facilitated group psychedelic use. Now that the measure has the California Assembly’s approval, Wiener says it is headed back to the Senate for a “final sign-off.”
If Governor Newsom signs the measure into law, California will be among the first states in the country to legalize psychedelic use.
California Assembly members added amendments such as reducing possession limits, withdrawing ibogaine from the list of legal psychedelics, eliminating provisions for psychedelic sharing and postponing the date for psychedelic legalization to 2025. Assembly Appropriations Committee members approved the amendments in a recent hearing before sending the measure to the Assembly floor for a final vote.
The measure would task the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHSA) with forming a work group to collect relevant information and provide recommendations on establishing a framework to regulate the therapeutic use of psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine and mescaline.
The growing interest of the public in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics is possibly spurring on entities such as atai Life Sciences N.V. (NASDAQ: ATAI) to speed up their drug-development programs so that they can address the growing demand for these novel treatments.

Under the terms of the agreement, Planet 13 will have the exclusive manufacturing, sales and marketing rights for Ovation’s topical / transdermal products for Nevada. Ovation will receive royalties based on wholesale sales. Planet 13 owns and operates the world’s largest cannabis dispensary that has become a must-see destination for cannabis connoisseurs and tourists from around the world. Planet 13’s 112,000 square foot SuperStore and entertainment complex is located just off The Strip in Las Vegas. Planet 13 accounts for just under 9-percent of cannabis dispensary revenue for the entire state of Nevada.
“We are very pleased to reach this agreement with Planet 13, said Terry Howlett, president of Ovation. “Not only does Planet have the world’s largest dispensary but they have a robust wholesale division which services other dispensaries throughout Nevada. Additionally, as Planet 13 has extensive past success with Ovation’s topicals, it is ideally positioned to ensure a rapid and optimized re-launch of our products. We believe this partnership will be a game-changer for the marketplace and will generate maximum revenue in Nevada and value for our shareholders.”
“Our Planet 13 Las Vegas SuperStore has been the launchpad for many of the best cannabis brands because of the popularity of our store as a destination and the memorable experiences our guests have each time they visit,” said David Farris, VP of sales & marketing, Planet 13. “We look forward to this opportunity with Ovation Science and bringing our customers highly effective topical products both in our dispensary, through our wholesale accounts and online.”

Ovation leverages its expertise in the pharmaceutical industry by using its patented skin delivery technology Invisicare® in its highly effective, proprietary products. Invisicare, backed by over 20 years of research and development, enables substantially more CBD and THC and other cannabinoids to be delivered to and through the skin, which translates into better results for patients. In a recent in-house study, Ovation compared five CBD brand leaders to Ovation Science’s topical CBD cream. All competitor creams tested release less than 2 per cent CBD compared to 40 per cent release from Ovation Science.
In conjunction with this announcement, the company announces the termination of the License Agreement with Light House Strategies, LLC for the state of Nevada. The company continues to have active discussions with multiple parties, seeking additional partners for the licensing rights in other US states and countries.
