Monsanto would have you believe that their seeds cause no risk to modern agriculture, that they are simply trying to provide the best products to feed the world.

Welcome to your year 2014.  It is your year.  All of Life is perceived and experienced through your perception.  The work of Ascension is an individual becoming an empowered sovereign being interacting within the collective of humanity and the collective of Life.  Your Ascension is not a maybe, it is a guarantee, for you are Spirit in form, and there is no mistake within Spirit; only experience, learning and choice.  Spirit forms in response to your choice.

The experience begins within your perception.  The learning is the forming within your perception and the choice is the outward beginning of that perceived experience.  Your inner world and your outer world are united through you.  Thus Life continues through you.  Life is shaped through you.  Life lives through you.
