Share your Fruit Bounty! The Garden of Eating is a volunteer organization that delivers fresh local fruit to social agencies such as the food banks. Normally these agencies receive only canned and processed goods so that people who need wholesome fresh produce still do not have access. Have you got a fruit tree in your back yard that bears too much fruit for you alone? Volunteers from the Garden of Eating will come to your home and harvest all the excess fruit you don’t need and take it to these social agencies. Garden of Eating needs volunteers to donate their excess fruit, as well as volunteers to pick fruit. Or, they can help you start a ‘share program’ in your own neighbourhood. Email eatingniagara@gmail.com or for more info visit www.thegardenofeating-niagara.com

Smile for your health! By Dr Symeon Rodger
Nearly two decades ago, a psychologist named Elisabeth Targ carried out a fascinating series of experiments. The most impressive involved a group of AIDS patients in the final stages of the illness. She got a group of 40 reputable spiritual healers of all kinds to practice "distance healing" on the patients. The healers used methods as seemingly diverse as prayer, Qi Gong and various aboriginal ceremonies.
The results were ASTOUNDING - those patients who received "help" from the healers did much better than those who did not. Elisabeth Targ was stunned by her own experiment. Hundreds more studies have come to a similar and statistically irrefutable conclusions: Human beings can affect each other over vast distances. And, with the progress being made in quantum physics and certain related areas of biology, the science to explain HOW this works is slowly taking shape. The evidence is in - you and I affect everyone else on the planet... and the planet itself, in an "organic" way.
We're in the midst of a revolution. The cold, mechanical universe of Newton and Descartes is dead - destroyed by science itself. Ancient cultures not only knew that we affect each other and the planet, but also how to use that knowledge to change ourselves, heal others and heal our world. Smile more!! Try praying for or holding positive intentions for people you love. Try it for people you have a hard time loving as well. And watch the results!
"The best way to create peace in the world is to create peace inside ourselves." Michael Moon
Crisis Ignites Evolution by Bruce Lipton PhD
In typical behavior, humans usually do not make change until circumstances force them to act. We are now being forced into action, for science has now established that human behavior has precipitated the sixth mass extinction of life on Earth. Most of us have had firsthand experience with one of the primary contributing factors of that collapse, global climate change: erratic weather patterns that are destroying environments and ecosystems around the world.
Civilization-induced stresses are creating environmental catastrophes that are straining the environment and threatening human extinction. Under threat, we are being forced to take action. In the USA, conventional media generally focuses its news watch on environmental upheavals close to home. So, I was completely shocked to learn of environmental disasters of such great magnitude that they will necessitate a revision of world maps.
As Steve Bhaerman and I described in our book Spontaneous Evolution, the impending evolutionary upheaval will arise from both environmental crises and massive social disruption. While climate change is one sign of the evolution, the current economic crisis has become a global event that is also precipitating upheaval. Countries all around the world are reeling from debt and unemployment, driven by greed and justified by the Darwinian belief that the “fittest” deserve their wealth and power over the rest of civilization as a scientific “right.”
Evolutionary change will only start when we become participants and stop our fruitless wait for another hero to arise and save us … we are the heroes we have been looking for! Everyday, human “imaginal cells” are creating order out of the impending chaos. Evolutionary actions at the local level are increasing at a logarithmic rate, unrecognized by the media. So while it appears that nothing is happening on the surface, below there is a groundswell of change that is about to erupt.
In the midst of apparent chaos, a new world is emerging like a Phoenix, a world based on love rather than fear and we are its co-creators. We are, each and all, active participants in what will amount to be the greatest of human adventures, for we are on the threshold of an incredible evolutionary event … the emergence of a new super-organism, Humanity. Dear evolutionaries, keep your hearts and minds focused on the beautiful future that lies before us!
