Dragonfly Metamorphosis: The Emergence of a New Human

Dragonfly Metamorphosis: The Emergence of a New Human Imagine a creature that begins its life as a silent, predatory nymph in the dark, mysterious depths of water. For years, it thrives in a world where survival is a matter of stealth and power. Then, in a breathtaking moment of transformation, it ascends along a slender reed, breaking through the surface into a realm bathed in sunlight. In just a few short hours, this creature shatters its old form to reveal dazzling, iridescent wings and an entirely new existence as a dragonfly—an actual dragon of the skies. This extraordinary metamorphosis is not just a tale of insect evolution; it is a profound allegory for the future of humanity. As Richard Rudd of the Gene Keys explains in his discussion with Amrit Sandu, we are on the cusp of a monumental shift—a mutation within the human genome that promises to usher in…

There’s Always More LOVE

Every day, I learn something new about life—and that means I learn something newabout relationships. According to the Gene Keys’ Venus Sequence, when two energiesmeet, they spark a unique third force—a transformative field that exists all on its own.Richard Rudd even compares this magic to the depth of true intimacy. After all, isn’t thatwhat life is about? Meeting, merging, unraveling, and being reshaped by the reflectionswe find in one another. This message is for the women walking the sacred union path. Maybe you don’t label itthat way, but you feel its pull. You long for a love that goes beyond personal satisfaction,for a relationship that serves a higher purpose. Let your desire be for life itself—with allit brings, be it a partner, lover, or husband—but don’t let that yearning consume you.Cultivate your own creative fire, devotion, and ever-evolving self so that fulfillment isalready woven into the fabric of who you…

Embracing Uncertainty: The Freedom of Not Always Knowing

Let’s be honest—most of us face uncertainty every single day. When we don’t know what to do, it’s not a personal failure; it’s simply part of being human. In fact, much of our indecision stems from a lack of trust—trust in ourselves, trust in the process, and trust that life will unfold as it should. It’s Not About the Outcome No matter what decision we make—whether it’s about our career, relationships, or everyday choices—we’re destined to face the challenges we need to confront. On a deeper, spiritual level, it really doesn’t matter which option we pick. Life isn’t about having all the answers on a human level; it’s about evolving and growing. So, take a deep breath and give yourself permission to not have it all figured out. The Brain’s Survival Mode Our brains are wired to protect us. They’re constantly running through questions: “Should I take this job? Should…

Zero to 60

Zero to 60….in 30 seconds. With a bat of my eye, 6 decades have past by. I sometimes try to remember what life felt like when I was in my early twenties; the naivety, the rebel, the idealism, the rock and roll Scarborough girl, the freedom and simplicity of it all. Not that life was easy (it really wasn’t), but in my younger days of sheer ignorance, things felt at least less cumbersome, less heavy, less oppressive. Life feels so different now. My twenties are simply another distant (foggy) life away. Despite the ups and downs and incredible joyFULL experiences and deep heartaches too, there is one thing that has remained within my soul, and that is my conviction that anything is possible when you choose love and honour your passion within your soul at all costs. I have proven this to myself a million times now in my own…

Dissolving Who We Think We Are

Dissolving this sense of “a ME” is going to feel really uncomfortable. It can sometimes feel like you’re being squeezed through something like an hourglass and it’s almost like there’s this pressure that feels overwhelming and painful and uncomfortable beyond words. But it’s also so beautifully necessary if we want a different reality. If we want a different experience in our life from the one that we’ve been having over and over and over again. The cycle of our numbing comfortableness is OVER. It is getting more and more uncomfortable every day. Have you ever had that feeling where the picture outside, being reality or ‘life’ (whatever you wish to call it), changes but it still feels somewhat the same? So, the holograph has changed, but the sensation within still remains? That’s the loop of the conditionings and that’s what creates this egoic sense of, “I am in this world” and…

Craving a healthy treat? Visit Kelly’s XO in Burlington Ontario

You’ve probably thought about being plant-based, having heard of the myriad of healthy benefits it can give you. Also, it doesn’t hurt that incredibly awesome actors like Peter Dinklage, Natalie Portman, and Jared Leto and celebrated personalities like Ellen Degeneres, Martina Navratilova, and Bill Clinton are vegans. The thing is, temptations abound when you happen to be going on a straighter, better path. And you really don’t want to let go of your everyday treats. But depriving yourself of decadent pastries, deliciously sweet cakes, and other heavenly desserts is a thing of the past. Being a vegan these days does not have to mean letting go of precious treats — not when you have got places like this Burlington, Ontario bakery that has won countless awards for its plant-based and gluten-free desserts. Kelly’s ultra popular Burlington bakery, called Kelly’s XO Bake Shoppe, has been making waves with vegans and non-vegans alike.…

Love Is All There Is

LOVE Is All There Is It’s all about love. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. The path that humanity is on right now is to bear witness to the emerging love consciousness that is within all of us. May we all find space within our hearts today, to treasure and revere all that is within our brothers and sisters. We all have goodness. We all have greatness. We all have a deep need to be loved and connected to our tribes. From the moment we opened our doors back in 2012, we knew we were not opening Kelly’s Bake Shoppe to just sell cupcakes. No. We opened our doors to be beholden to a greater force than our planet was willing to acknowledge. A deep truth that we all are one. A truth that our greatest joy comes from loving others and connecting on a level of love and we…

Kelly and Erinn Share The Advantages of Choosing A Healthier Diet

You are what you eat. Kelly Childs believes this to its very core. She is the co-founder and co-owner of Kelly’s Bake Shoppe and co-author of Made With Love cookbook – Kelly is also a Plant-based chef and co-founder of award-winning restaurant Lettuce Love Café.  Kelly has embodied this proverb since it was taught to her.

Childs has always had a passion for food. She believes deeply that eating well means using good (i.e., organic and good for the planet) ingredients and that you should always keep your health in mind when choosing what to eat. When you eat healthy, you not only look better but also feel better. And introducing a plant-based and…
