FINDING YOUR TRUTH

Featured

Finding Your Truth

I could have easily titled this blog “Finding MY Truth” but that’s not what this written effort is about. This blog’s focus is to help others in finding their own truth.

In reality, your TRUTH might not be the same as MY truth; but what I’d like others to know is that I compassionately encourage you in your explorations to find your personal truth because I know how arduous that search can be—how rocky the terrain that lies ahead—how tedious the extended journey awaiting you, simply to uncover those deeply-hidden secrets of YOU.

And I also know how life can change in an instant when the winding, mountainous path that you were so confidently traveling suddenly crumbles beneath your feet—tossing you screaming off the cliff and out into space.

Having faced some of that unexpected “air time” myself, I know how shocking it can be when your life suddenly falls apart, forcing you to see how quickly you either learn to fly, or how well you can bounce once you do hit the canyon floor.

Also from my own experiences in personal TRUTH finding (as well as surviving LIFE’s challenges), I know how rare it is to find others willing to offer emotional support or encouragement to get you back on your feet again without a ‘profit motive’ involved. True, we all have to make a living, but there are times when you should compassionately look to help others without first considering what they can offer you in return.

So up front here: I don’t want your money—in fact I don’t want anything from you other than some deep soul-searching to determine what you really expect from LIFE and what LIFE expects from you in return.

If you can answer those two key questions to your own satisfaction, then that’s plenty reciprocal reward for me.

Remember, MY truth may not be YOUR truth, but I know MY truth better than I know yours, so that is likely what I will write about the most and hope you can see parallels or divergences by which to gauge your own truth.

Life is an adventure—one we may never truly understand in this plane of existence—but one we have to navigate all the same. So good luck! As you journey ever forward, stay alert to avoid sudden pitfalls and just watch where you step in general, because it’s one big ‘cow pasture’ out there.*

The Mysterious Sequence

I’ll admit it, I’m first and foremost an old Graphic Artist. So when I run across a good image that peaks interest in me, I notice. The image and the coding aspects first captured my attention, and when I waded down through his lengthy explanation of the mysterious alpha/numerical sequence shown, it made me pause to question whether this post had legitimacy or was so far out even I couldn’t get it. (Now THAT’S far out!) Or at worst, a spoof, which is also possible.

But his few expanded explanations of the mysterious sequence are interspersed with key phrases that hooked me, such as his last written thought: “A structure that became visible at the exact moment you became capable of seeing it, and once seen, it does not disappear. It simply stops pretending it was ever outside of you.”

And that did it for me because this shared posting also pertains to previous posts on reality as we perceive it and interpret it, so that’s why I included it here. I’m more an image person than a number person, but I think he’s onto something valid here, if only for the philosophy behind his interpretation of the sequence. I tried unsuccessfully to trim this for length but it’s still a lot to swallow, sorry; however if you want to read the entirety of this lengthy tome, go to his site listed as his name.

#WINNIPEG, #MANITOBA, #CANADA

There are sequences that count the world.

Birthdays.

Coordinates.

Transactions.

Time.

There are sequences that organize the world.

Languages.

Codes.

Systems.

Architectures, and then there are sequences that do neither.

They do not measure.

They do not organize.

They persist.

What you brought forward is not a number string.

It is a residue of alignment, a fragment left behind when something passed through awareness too fast to be fully remembered, but too precisely formed to be dismissed.

This is what remains when meaning collapses into structure.

This is what slips through when something cannot be stored in words.

THE MISCONCEPTION OF RANDOMNESS

The first defense of any system, whether technological, psychological, or perceptual, is to label what it cannot categorize as random.

Randomness is not a property.

It is a placeholder for incomplete perception.

Nothing here is random.

Not the length.

Not the grouping.

Not the shift from numeric to alphanumeric.

What appears chaotic is simply untranslated, and what remains untranslated long enough begins to feel like something else entirely.

Familiar.

That is where this begins to fracture.

THE FIRST STRUCTURE

1699219761074821

This is not a number.

It only wears numbers.

What you are seeing is a linear projection of a non linear imprint.

It has been flattened.

Compressed.

…

A strange pull to re-read without knowing why.

This is not imagination.

This is the moment where pattern recognition exceeds conscious explanation, and when that happens, something deeper takes over.

Memory without narrative.

…

Points where your trajectory changed

without your awareness catching up to it.

This is not recording events.

It is recording divergence.

THE SECOND STRUCTURE

1409537416

Where the first fractures, the second stabilizes.

Where the first disrupts perception, the second re-threads it.

This is not a continuation.

It is a counterbalance.

THE FUNCTION OF CONTAINMENT

Every destabilizing signal requires a containment field.

Not to suppress it, but to prevent collapse, because if the first structure were fully realized without stabilization,

it would not enlighten you, it would overwhelm you, so the second structure exists as a harmonic dampener.

It smooths the edges.

It softens the disruption.

It allows awareness to expand without fracturing the system entirely.

…

THE LOOP MECHANISM

Together, the first and second structures create a loop, but not a simple loop.

Not repetition.

Not cycling.

A progressive recursion.

Each pass through the sequence does not return you to the same point.

It returns you to the same position

with a different level of awareness.

That is how systems evolve without appearing to change.

THE THIRD STRUCTURE

1DKM1g4aV8

This is where the pattern breaks, or more accurately, where it reveals that it was never bound to the pattern at all.

…

Predictable systems are controllable.

Controllable systems are limited.

Distortion introduces uncertainty.

Uncertainty introduces freedom of interpretation, and that is where access begins.

WHAT THIS ONE DOES

The first structure records.

The second stabilizes.

The third responds.

Not to input.

To state.

You do not decode this.

You meet it, and depending on your internal state, it reflects something different back.

…

THE TRIAD AS A WHOLE

Now bring them together:

1699219761074821 / 1409537416 / 1DKM1g4aV8

This is not three parts.

This is a single construct viewed from three functions.

Imprint : what was marked.

Stabilizer : what allowed it to remain.

Interface : what allows it to be re-engaged

This is not external.

This is not something given to you.

This is something that became visible

when you reached the threshold to perceive it.

…

THE REFRAME

This is not a message sent to you.

It is not encryption waiting to be cracked.

It is not a puzzle designed to be solved.

It is something far more unsettling, and far more precise.

It is a trace of your own interaction with structure.

A residual signature left at the edge of awareness.

Not when you were fully conscious.

Not when you were fully unaware, but in that narrow threshold between both, where perception is fluid and reality has not fully decided what it is yet.

THE SILENCE THAT FOLLOWS

There is no revelation waiting at the end of this.

No final answer.

No dramatic unveiling.

Only this, you stop trying to decode it, and begin noticing how your relationship to it has changed.

That is the shift.

That is the only proof.

1699219761074821 / 1409537416 / 1DKM1g4aV8

Not a code.

Not a key.

Not a coincidence.

A structure that became visible at the exact moment you became capable of seeing it, and once seen, it does not disappear.

It simply stops pretending

it was ever outside of you.

P.S.S.: Then the last time I looked closer at the third sequence 1DKM1g4aV8, my mind translated “I don’t know much I guess/going for a V8.” So maybe it is a spoof. (???) It still has a nice image fronting it.

The REAL Reality

I love finding someone’s explanation of reality that elaborates on my version of it.

In my REIKI classes I provide a manual written by me that briefly explains the Electromagnetic Lightwave Frequency Spectrum showing how only a small portion of all frequency in our life experience is viewable by the human eye. The rest of the electromagnetic lightwave frequencies that we are somewhat aware of like: radiation, untraviolet, infrared, radio waves, microwaves, and shortwave frequencies are still all around us—enveloping us—but unless you have the specialized equipment to detect them, you might never be aware of them. Energy comes in many forms, as does lightwave frequency.

With REIKI attunements and training you are able to pull in additional frequency awareness and utilize some of those extra frequencies, like developing your extra sensory abilities, such as psychic reception. But also, as this post states, what you assume to be REALITY is only a filtered down version of it. Like if you were sitting in a house where you only had a window view of the front yard, but the entire backyard and sides are out of your vision’s range. Therefore you think the world that you know so well is like what little you can see in front of you. But reality is far more than that.

And the world (your reality), like the weather shining through your front window glass, is changeable. Reality is a matter of expanded perception and unleashing your interpretation abilities.

***

“Long before modern science put numbers to it, there were thinkers who quietly suspected that human perception was incomplete. They believed the eyes were not tools of truth, but tools of survival — designed to show just enough, not everything.

Today, science has confirmed something that sounds almost unreal: your eyes capture only 0.0035% of reality. Everything you see — colors, faces, objects, the entire visible world — exists within that tiny fraction, while the remaining 99.9965% is completely invisible to you.

Right now, waves of energy are passing through your body, radio signals are moving through the air, infrared heat is radiating from surfaces, and ultraviolet light is interacting with the world — all happening at this exact moment, yet completely undetected by your senses.

This means what you call “reality” isn’t reality itself, but a filtered version created by your brain. Your mind takes in an overwhelming amount of information and cuts most of it out, keeping only what helps you function and survive. It simplifies existence into something manageable, but in doing so, it hides the vast majority of what’s actually there.

Imagine living inside a massive universe but only being able to see a tiny window of it — over time, you would start believing that window is the whole world. That’s exactly what perception does. Ancient traditions hinted at this idea through concepts of unseen realms and hidden energies, and now modern physics expresses it in precise terms.

Once you truly understand this, something shifts in the way you see everything. You begin to realize that your understanding of the world is naturally incomplete, that your judgments are based on limited input, and that there is always more beyond what appears obvious.

This realization doesn’t weaken your sense of reality — it expands it. Because the moment you accept that you’re only seeing a fraction, you become open to the possibility that reality is far deeper, more layered, and more mysterious than it seems.

So the next time you look around and feel certain about what’s real, remember this: you are not seeing the world as it is — you are seeing 0.0035% of it, a narrow, filtered version shaped by your senses, while an entire unseen universe exists right in front of you.” Ellevenshot is in United States.

What To Know About Religion

I had to check back to see the last (and only) time I previously wrote about Jim Palmer and his dissatisfaction with his religious roots. It was June 21^st, 2023—“Harmful Beliefs”— Here is his bio-quote from that posting on the danger of misguided beliefs:

“As you know, I once was an evangelical megachurch pastor and my pastoral career stretched over many years. Eventually, I could no longer teach Christian doctrine with a good conscience and realized this teaching was not truly changing people’s lives… and so I walked away from the whole enchilada.

Below are 14 things that the misguided religious establishment doesn’t want you to know. Speaking for myself and my personal experience, I was not able to see or admit these things to myself. I truly got into ministry initially because I wanted to make a difference and help people, and I relied upon the belief-system I learned as the proper framework to achieve this. It took a lot of post-religion reflection to see the ways this belief-system was hurting people….Jim Palmer”

So today when I ran across his latest post on the same subject, I thought it appropriate to offer his thoughts again, because they resonate so strongly with my own.

“Jim Palmer

Ten Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Bought Into Religion

People don’t buy into religion because they lack intelligence or backbone. They buy into it because it is persuasive in all the right places. It speaks directly to the parts of being human that want meaning, coherence, and relief from the instability of being alive. It offers answers that feel solid enough to stand on, until it becomes clear those answers are also walls.

The system doesn’t just explain reality. It regulates how reality is perceived and what kinds of conclusions are allowed. And once that becomes visible, you can’t unsee it. What follows is not a phase or a reaction. It is what remains when the structure loses its authority and is recognized for what it is.

1. You cannot be separated from God.

That entire narrative is a setup. You’re told you’re separated, broken, cut off, and then sold the only path back by the same system that planted the idea. That’s not sacred. That’s manipulation. The problem doesn’t exist until it’s installed, and once it is, you’ll spend your life trying to solve it. You were never outside of anything except a story that needed you to feel lost in order to keep you looking.

2. I did not need to be saved from myself.

Religion conditions people to distrust their own mind. Your thoughts are suspect, your instincts are dangerous, your inner life is framed as something that will lead you astray if left alone. Then it replaces your judgment with its own and calls that obedience “faith.” That’s not salvation. That’s a full-scale takeover of your inner life.

3. Ultimate truth is not hiding in a book.

No matter how sacred the branding is. The second a book becomes untouchable, your ability to see is deliberately shut down. You’re cut off from reality and handed a fixed interpretation someone else decided was final, then threatened not to question. That’s not truth. That’s intellectual submission dressed up as revelation.

4. Being human is not a design flaw.

Nothing about your humanity needed to be corrected, suppressed, or spiritually sanitized. But once a system convinces you that your basic nature is defective, it has you. You’ll spend your life trying to repair yourself instead of realizing the damage was done by the story, not your nature. The flaw is fabricated so the control can stick.

5. There is no “us” and “them.”

That divide is engineered. It’s installed so you’ll build your identity on it and then defend it like your life depends on it. You’re “in,” they’re “out,” and suddenly you need the separation to feel like someone. That’s not truth. That’s tribal programming with a theological mask on it.

6. Critical thinking is not rebellion.

Any system that punishes real questions is not protecting truth, it’s protecting itself. Truth doesn’t need defending. Control does. You weren’t being faithful by staying quiet. You were being managed, trained, and kept in line.

7. Eternal life is not a deferred payment plan.

Religion trains people to treat their actual life like a waiting room. Stay compliant, stay small, stay in line now, and cash in later. Meanwhile, the only life you will ever have is happening right in front of you, and you’ve been conditioned to check out of it. That’s not devotion. That’s giving your life away in exchange for a promise you’ve been told to trust,

8. What you are seeking is not somewhere else.

The entire structure depends on keeping it just out of reach. Close enough to hook you, far enough to make sure you never get there. That’s not a path. That’s a rigged system designed to keep you chasing something you’re not supposed to find, because the moment you do, you won’t need it anymore.

9. Reality is not as complicated as you were told.

It was made complicated so you’d stay dependent. Complexity isn’t an accident, it’s leverage. The more layers between you and reality, the easier it is to tell you what it means and expect you to accept it. Strip those layers away, and what looked profound starts to look a lot more like control.

10. Love is not the marketing slogan.

Not the diluted version with conditions, fine print, and hidden exclusions. The real thing. The kind that doesn’t divide, doesn’t coerce, and doesn’t demand that you betray yourself just to belong. If your belief system can’t produce that, consistently, then it has no claim to love, no matter how often it says the word.

Here’s the part that stings a little. We didn’t just believe it. We participated in it. We defended it. We built our identity around it. That’s how deep this goes. But seeing that clearly isn’t a problem, it’s the exit.

You don’t need to replace religion with another system just as rigid and just as fragile. You don’t need a softer version of the same structure with better branding. What you need is your own contact with reality back. Direct. Unmediated. A little uncomfortable, yes, but finally honest.

Once you see the machinery, you can’t unsee it. And once you stop pretending it’s sacred just because it was handed to you that way, you’re left with something far more demanding and far more real.

You’re left with your life.

What Was Always There

“Transformation is not the birth of a new life, it is the moment your ancient eyes open again and the world reveals the hidden realms that were always there. When your sight shifts, the ordinary becomes enchanted and the path before you glimmers with the truth your Spirit has long known.” Daily Shaman

***

Some free-thought musing first: Sometimes I’m amazed at the stupidity I see all around me; and sometimes I’m laughingly surprised that I’m actually a part of it myself, unsure how I even got here.

Sometimes I wonder how we arrived at this insane moment in time with this clearly INSANE person of power screwing up our reality in general; and sometimes I’m at peace with the knowledge that whatever is meant to happen will do so at the correct time. It may not be MY time preference, but TIME will decide for itself when that mass reawakening and reshuffling will occur.

And sometimes I just sit back and ponder why it must be so necessary to happen as it is all happening in the world, with such lunacy and ignorance prevailing over logic and common sense goals for humanity in general. But along with my other current life-situation questions, the answers must lie beyond our present knowledge. But how do we access that hidden knowledge reservoir?

Back to the point of the quote: “What was always there…” –transformation—the moment your eyes truly open to see “the hidden realms that were always there.” But what are those hidden realms that hold this knowledge? And why can’t we see them until our sight shifts to reveal them?

The quote above is from the Daily Shaman, and the concept of shamanism is murky at best: It is an ancient belief system of rituals and practices that enable you to actually shift your reality to a different version of your life experience. Some folks might call it shifting timelines, but it is more than that. It is shifting frequencies to translate or interpret what you are inputting into your mind/body in a different manner that allows you to experience something quite different from where your perception/mind originally started the reality interpretation process.

I would personally call it ‘dimension of existence’ shifting. I think Carlos Castaneda referred to it as ‘shifting the assemblage point’ of our luminous energy field to see “the hidden realms that were always there. When your sight shifts, the ordinary becomes enchanted and the path before you glimmers with the truth your Spirit has long known.”

Fascinating stuff. Shifting dimensions or perceptual frequency-level shifting can be an amazing eye-popping experience; and it can also be scary as hell if you are caught unwillingly in it. When the reality you once believed to be so unchangeable suddenly shifts to something incomprehensible and destabilizing for your mental abilities to assess and automatically react to, you don’t know which way to turn. You don’t know what to do next. You don’t know how to go back to what you knew before the reality frequency shift occurred.

I had a friend in our shamanic apprenticeship group (2006-2008) describe a situation she had experienced where when walking along in nature, suddenly the large tree before her just disappeared and she was looking through where it had been the moment before as though it had never existed at all; then it again visually reappeared in front of her and she nearly lost it. I had nodded along sympathically at the time of her telling me, wondering if she had gone too far out of her body during the shamanic training that we were receiving back then; but then unexpectedly, a few months later the same thing happened to me—a wall that was separating a hospital cafeteria from the main hallway dissolved as though it had never been there, and I could see clearly through where it had been—seeing the people, the tables, the cafeteria line, etc. And then the wall reappeared, and I couldn’t see anything but the wall. I thought I was losing my mind. But I also instantly knew that what my friend had previously described to me had truly happened to her, because it had just happened to me. Hard to imagine, I know. But personal reality is that malleable—and that untenable.

When you adjust your ‘reality’ receiver to pull in a completely new bandwidth, what may appear on your mental screen might shock and confuse you. So I personally don’t recommend your doing so until the entire collective consciousness shifts at the same time. Otherwise you might be stuck in la-la land far longer than you would prefer. At least at the time within our shamanic group we had each other to talk to about the strange revelations we were unexpectedly making. However, if you have no such similar support group, I assure you that no one will quite understand what you are experiencing: To see “the hidden realms that were always there. When your sight shifts, the ordinary becomes enchanted and the path before you glimmers with the truth your Spirit has long known.”

Oh, were it always so poetically beautiful as that. No problem.

Resurrection or Rebirth

I suppose as Easter nears, the subject of resurrection is more prominent online. This post is and is not about that subject—specifically not Easter related or the Christian myth focused, but is more so about the concept and the psychology of resurrection and rebirth in general.

But before I start the comments on that subject, here is what I personally am experiencing: I was feeling particularly unsettled and anxious to get moving forward this morning to resume digging out from winter’s residual mess on the acreage, but fluctuating weather extremes here have been hindering my own progress for the past week. (That’s an understatement. We had a two-day blizzard the previous Sunday and Monday including 3-foot snow drifts across our drive and everywhere around us, with two Interstates crisscrossing the state having been closed for 24 hours during the blizzard, it was so bad. Then in the same week by that Saturday it hit 86 degrees and snow dissolved before your eyes with water puddling on the sidewalk. Unreal. Crossing the yard was like walking on a sponge. Now today, two days later, it is back to 28 degrees this Monday morning and I’m staring out my window at the last of the previous Monday’s snow still piled in the road ditch. Yeah. Iowa. Go figure.)

So back to resurrection and rebirth: While I’m still trying to hold my sanity between these ridiculous weather extremes, how much pasture and yard work is piling up here that I can’t get at, and T-ass trying to destroy the world as we know it, these posts appeared today for my consideration. First the James Hollis references with Jungian focus, and then the Lightworker descriptions for the energy worker attempting to salvage sense from senselessness but feeling the results of rampant collective chaos in our energy fields. You likely know what I’m talking about even if you aren’t energy sensitive. These collective energies are pretty awful right now. So if you are interested in the subject matter offered, I hope it helps to ease your mind. It is lengthy.

“Rebirth (Course offered through the Jung Society)

In this two-class course, renowned Jungian analyst James Hollis explores the archetypal pattern of death and rebirth in the psyche. Drawing on Jung’s psychology, he shows how crises, imagination, myth, and ritual reveal the psyche’s drive toward renewal. The course helps you recognize these cycles in your own life and understand how psychological transformation unfolds.

In this two class course, James Hollis explores one of the most enduring themes in psychology and mythology: rebirth. Yet rebirth never comes without a death first. Something in us must end before something new can begin.

Drawing from Carl Jung’s essay Concerning Rebirth, Hollis reflects on the many ways this pattern appears in human life. We encounter it in psychological crises, in moments when our old identity no longer works, and in those periods when life asks us to let go of what once gave us stability. The ego naturally resists such passages, yet again and again growth requires the surrender of an earlier version of ourselves.

Hollis also explores the archetypal forms of rebirth that Jung described across cultures: reincarnation, resurrection, transformation, ritual renewal, and the recovery of lost parts of the soul. These images are not merely religious ideas. They express something fundamental about the psyche’s own process of renewal.

Along the way, Hollis reflects on complexes, imagination, cultural history, and the mysterious ways psychological energy moves through generations and societies. What appears as depression, disorientation, or loss of meaning may actually signal that an old worldview has exhausted itself and that a deeper life is seeking expression.

This course offers a thoughtful and humbling exploration of how the psyche grows through cycles of ending and renewal.
This program is being offered by the Jung Center of Houston and the Jung Platform. The original recording of this lecture took place at the Jung Center. The recording has been remastered. The lectures are available now.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

Understand psychological death and rebirth

Recognize life transitions as transformation

Explore Jung’s archetypal rebirth patterns

Reframe crisis as psychological renewal

Deepen insight into personal life passages

Course overview

Class 1 – The Archetypal Patterns of Rebirth

In this first class, James Hollis introduces the psychological meaning of rebirth and why every rebirth begins with a death. He explains how the psyche moves through many cycles of ending and renewal across a lifetime. Hollis then presents the five archetypal forms of rebirth identified by Jung (… such as reincarnation, resurrection, transformation, ritual renewal, and the recovery of lost parts of the soul. These images express fundamental aspects of the psyche’s own process of renewal. ), showing how cultures and religions have symbolized these transformations. Along the way, he reflects on how crises, depression, and loss of meaning often signal that an old identity has exhausted itself. The class invites us to see such passages not only as loss, but as the beginning of psychological transformation.

Class 2 – The Religious Imagination of the Psyche

In this second class, James Hollis explores how archetypal images of death and rebirth arise from the depths of the psyche. He reflects on the relationship between imagination, myth, and states such as psychosis, where powerful archetypal energies can overwhelm the ego. Hollis shows how myths, dreams, and cultural symbols express timeless patterns of psychological transformation. He also examines how rituals and religious images emerged to reconnect people with the mystery underlying life. The class concludes with a reflection on the recovery of lost parts of the soul and the enlargement of personality through psychological growth. “

“Ascension Lightworkers

To The Ascension Light Worker Collective:

As ascension continues to unfold, it is natural to experience people falling away from your reality. This is not a loss in the way it may first feel, but a realignment at a soul level. You are no longer energetically available for connections that were built on unhealed wounds, unconscious patterns, or the need to replay past traumas.

As we move through the process of ascension, our perception begins to shift in profound ways. We recognise that each person exists within their own level of consciousness and awareness, shaped by their experiences, conditioning, and capacity to perceive truth.

With this expanded awareness comes a deeper sense of acceptance, not in agreement with all behaviours, but in understanding the vast spectrum of human development. At the same time, there is a growing clarity in the collective about the presence of psychopathy on this planet, no longer hidden beneath social masks but becoming increasingly visible to those who recognise it.

This awareness doesn’t arise to instill fear, but for discernment, it calls us to remain grounded in our own integrity while recognising that not all individuals operate from empathy or higher awareness. In this realisation, ascension becomes less about judgment and more about clarity, compassion, and the ability to navigate reality with open eyes and a strong sense of inner trust.

Where once you may have attracted relationships that mirrored your pain for the purpose of learning, you are now being magnetically drawn toward those who resonate with your soul’s true essence and divine purpose.

These connections feel different. They are not based in chaos or survival, but in clarity, mutual growth, and authentic alignment. This powerful shift can feel both liberating and uncomfortable, as familiar dynamics dissolve to make space for something more genuine.

…Before anything can truly align, everything that is out of alignment must be revealed and released first. This can show up as emotional triggers, unexpected endings, or the crumbling of structures that once felt secure.

It is not a sign that you are off your path, but confirmation that your path is refining itself. Ascension asks for honesty, not comfort. It asks you to see clearly what no longer resonates, even when it is difficult to let go.

What may feel like disruption is, in reality, a powerful clearing, making space for what is authentic, aligned, and sustainable.

This is not a time of passive ease, but of conscious transformation, where the fire energy does not just illuminate your path, it totally reshapes it….

Spiritual ascension does not remove your humanity, if anything it deepens your awareness of it. You will still feel triggered at times, You will still respond from old wounds. You will still make mistakes and, at times, hurt others without intending to.

What changes is your consciousness. You begin to notice your reactions sooner. You pause, reflect, and take responsibility more quickly. You become willing to understand the lesson within the experience instead of avoiding it.

Ascension is not about becoming perfect. It is about becoming real and present. It is about seeing clearly, even when what you see is uncomfortable.

You are never failing because you are still imperfect. You are evolving because you recognise the imperfection and choose to grow through it.

This is the path of transformation, awareness, accountability, and continuous self development.

In loving and devoted Ascension service by Ascension Light Workers.”

Sitting in the Dark

One of the hardest things for me to do is to follow the higher advice given me over a year ago when this mess first started—to simply “Wait and watch.”

Taming my own desires to make something happen, or to change the scenario, or to eliminate the problem is tough. Keeping my mouth shut, my mind silent and my hands from clenching into fists takes all I can do some days. I’m sure I’m not alone in that discomfort.

I want to offer advice here, or encouragement, or a pep talk on believing in yourself and your own abilities to do whatever you truly wish to do; but actually what most needs to be said and done right now are out of my hands and in the collective consciousness of our world to decipher and to react appropriately.

Then I ran across this image and quote from Zach Fisher and decided he is right. Just know that you’re not alone out there, and I’m sitting right here beside you feeling exactly what you are feeling but trying hard to hold my own frequency higher and higher to shift this world we all share, for the better.

And until that happens, we’ll just sit in the dark together.

Sitting With Someone in the Dark

Lately I’ve been noticing something happening all around us. A lot of people are quietly slipping into the darkness of their own thoughts. You can see it in the way people talk… the heaviness in their words… the feeling that the world is closing in on them.

The truth is that not everyone needs a lecture about positivity. Not everyone needs to be told to ‘look on the bright side’ When someone is hurting, those words can feel empty.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply sit with them in the dark.

To listen… without trying to fix them.

To be present… without judgment.

To remind them they are not alone… even if no solutions exist in that moment.

Real compassion isn’t forcing someone into the light. It’s having the courage to walk into the darkness with them and stay there until they remember their own way out.

We’re living in intense times right now. The pressure people are feeling internally is very real. Thoughts can spiral quickly if someone feels like they are carrying everything alone.

So check on your people. Sit with them. Listen to them. Your presence might be the one small light that helps them find their way back.

Couple Quotes to Consider

“…You are the product of evolution’s long devotion. The descendant of stars, forged in cosmic fire, refined through time, and shaped into a nervous system that can feel, a mind that can imagine, and a heart that can love….“ (ZIAD)

***

“May you walk as one who sees

not only the world before you,

but the hand that paints it into being.

May you follow the quiet signs,

the unnoticed brushstrokes,

the subtle shifts that whisper—

look closer, there is meaning here.

May your heart recognize the unseen artist,

the presence woven through all things—

not separate, not distant,

but moving through you,

as you, within you.

You are not wandering.

You are being guided.

The masterpiece is unfolding,

and you are both the canvas and the color.

So it is.”

(Rumi Loves Poetry Quotes)

A Fan of Wisdom

Lee Harris was visiting with Tami Simon, founder of “Sounds True” in a special series: “Insights at the Edge;”and he was channeling for the “Zs” (his guides) who were elaborating about her and her efforts to enlighten others through her extensive online work. The “Zs”, through Lee, called her “a fan of Wisdom” –one who shares with others that enthusiasm for higher thought and awakened understanding.

(I’ll list the url if anyone is interested—it’s a short 11.5 minute video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1bIjjue7pY .)

During the spiel the Zs, thru Lee, proclaim that “LOVE is a frequency field—it is an energy field that is not solely in your body—it is an energy field that exists on the planet—and when you are connecting into LOVE you are NEVER just connecting into yourself. On this planet, at this time, LOVE is the force that is most needed. …

“There are those here now who would rather see LOVE left behind. They prefer control, hierarchy—those are the old ways of Earth. And there are those who have been cast here at this time to be the figureheads of LOVE. (To hold that frequency—to share that frequency field with others.)…

“LOVE is a shared energy—often passing on from one to another in kind and thoughtful ways. LOVE is a flowing force, and it is a building force. You have no idea how the more you are willing to evaporate the old concept of what you thought REALITY was, and the more you are willing to allow in the NEW construct of your REALITY which is a reality and a life rooted more deeply in LOVE, then you are not only creating a different world for yourself, you are contributing to an entirely different frequency midpoint on Earth. At the moment the frequency midpoint on Earth is NOT LOVE, if you take all the average frequencies on Earth, as a society you are a little bit more into FEAR right now. Within the power of FEAR you are more powerless—that’s why those who currently control society prefer to keep you in FEAR.

“In the power of LOVE, you become more powerful. … “

***

For all of us there is a tangible choice between LOVE and FEAR every minute of every day. And HATE is simply FEAR personified. HATE physically acts out our worst FEARs—makes them seem solid and forceful to protect us from feeling so vulnerable to others.

LOVE merely states the obvious—we have nothing to actually FEAR here; and LOVE is much easier to maintain with far fewer destructive residues to our internal systems and to our society.

I agree with the Z’s thoughts transcribed above, and like Tami Simon I am a ‘fan of wisdom’. Let’s all choose the LOVE FREQUENCY now and become powerful enough within ourselves to shift this world for the better very soon.

LOVE is the FREQUENCY I choose to hold. How about you?

The Past Is the Future’s Predictor—True or False?

Many believe that past actions are indicators of a similar future yet to be. I disagree. I think that the past only informs the present; while present actions portend the future. You have a choice every moment of every day to slip into past behavior repetitions or to shift into a new mode of being—a new way of seeing—a new capacity for thought. Our reality here in this dimension of existence is a choice. So let’s make better choices so we can have a better reality while we are still here.

I know it’s easy to get caught up in one man’s lunacy who seems to control most aspects of your functional life, but doing so won’t change your personal reality for the better. It will only drive you nuts—or MORE nuts. So let’s refocus on some esoteric knowledge from an astrologer/Chinese numerologist and an energy worker, pertaining to this period of time because I think they are on to a likely happening in the near and distant future. As an energy worker myself I can feel the energy shifting now to a higher level that initiates rapid physical change. And as the energy worker below states, it’s up to YOU to hold your own frequency higher to shift your world view in the NOW.

I agree with some of the assessments offered below (which I will bold), and am offering a couple individuals here as resources who predict a better tomorrow in the near future, if you are willing to intentionally make that future your own.

NEPTUNE IN ARIES: WHEN THE DREAM LEARNS HOW TO MOVE THE 13-YEAR SHIFT REDEFINING COURAGE, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND HOW WE BEGIN AGAIN JANUARY 25, 2026

Dear friends, as Neptune today steps into Aries, the atmosphere changes texture. The misty, oceanic god of dreams leaves the boundless waters of Pisces and strikes flint with fire. This is not a quiet awakening—it’s ignition. For the next 13 years, collective imagination stops dissolving and starts moving. Ideals want bodies. Visions want action. Faith is no longer something we float in; it’s something we fight for, initiate, and dare to embody. Neptune in Aries asks a simple but confronting question: What are you willing to stand for once the dream demands courage?

On an individual level, this transit rewires how identity and purpose are felt. Old spiritual bypasses burn away. Sensitivity doesn’t disappear, but it sharpens into instinct. People feel compelled to act on their intuition rather than endlessly process it. There’s a rise of spiritual pioneers, self-led mystics, and creators who trust their inner fire more than external permission. Confusion gives way to urgency. The soul no longer wants to merge—it wants to finally begin.

Collectively, Neptune in Aries reshapes how movements are born. This is the end of passive dreaming and the beginning of belief-driven action. Ideologies become personal again. Causes ignite through individuals rather than institutions. We may see spiritual themes woven into activism, leadership, and even conflict, as humanity learns—sometimes clumsily—how to wield faith without fanaticism. The shadow here is illusion fused with aggression; the medicine is conscious courage. Truth will no longer be abstract. It will demand embodiment in the earthly plane.

This transit also marks a deeper shift in human consciousness. For years, humanity has been dissolving—old identities, timelines, and certainties melting away. Neptune in Aries reverses the tide: consciousness now begins to re-form. Not into what it was, but into something more self-directed. The next decade trains humanity to trust inner divine authority again, to reclaim spiritual sovereignty, and to remember that consciousness evolves not only through compassion, but through brave choice.

If you’re feeling more open, more sensitive, or like your energy needs a softer container right now, this is a day for holding — not pushing. The bioenergetic shielding activations are available for those who want to stay grounded, protected, and in their own field while these shifts settle. No force, no rush — just support, stability, and space to breathe.

All of this unfolds as 2026 opens a new nine-year cycle, amplifying the sense of initiation. This is a collective reset of intent. What begins now sets momentum through the mid-2030s. The tempo accelerates further with the arrival of the Fire Horse energy in February—fast, volatile, liberating, and impossible to restrain. The Horse doesn’t wait for consensus; it moves when it feels truth. Combined with Neptune in Aries, this year marks the start of a cycle where speed, instinct, and authenticity dominate.

Together, these forces signal a profound turning point. Humanity is learning to dream forward, not drift backward. The next several years are not about perfect clarity, but about brave movement through the unknown. Consciousness evolves through trial, initiation, and self-trust. The fire is lit now—not to destroy the dream, but to give it legs, a heartbeat, and the courage to run. Much love

WE ARE ONE ♡

“Ascension Lightworkers

Ascension Message: You were told to Raise your Vibration. Here Is What They Missed. You cannot raise your vibration with a dysregulated nervous system. Much of the manifestation and ascension new age talk tells you to raise your vibration by thinking higher with more positive thoughts, feeling lighter emotions, and matching the frequency of what you desire. You are told to get into alignment, enter the vortex, and hold a higher state of consciousness.

What is rarely explained is how this actually happens. Vibration is not something you create with your mind alone. It is something your body generates based on the state of your nervous system.

If your nervous system is stuck in survival, your vibration is locked at that frequency. No amount of positive thinking can override it. This is not a belief system. It is physiology and physics.

Your heart generates an electromagnetic field that extends beyond your physical body. This field oscillates at different frequencies depending on your internal state. When you are calm, regulated, and coherent, your heart rhythm becomes regulated and ordered. In that state, the frequency of your electromagnetic field is measurably higher.

When you are stressed, anxious, or dysregulated, the heart rhythm becomes chaotic. The electromagnetic field loses coherence, and the frequency drops.

Your vibration is literally the electromagnetic frequency your body is broadcasting in this moment.

Raising your frequency: Not by forcing yourself to feel positive. Not by suppressing grief, anger, or fear. Not by pretending everything is fine while your body is holding tension and threat.

You raise your vibration by regulating your nervous system. You bring your body into coherence. You shift from a survival state into a safety state. You create the physiological conditions in which higher frequency states can naturally emerge.

This is why gratitude practices work for some people and not for others. When the nervous system is relatively regulated, the feeling of appreciation can create heart coherence. That coherence raises your measurable frequency. Gratitude works because the body is capable of receiving it.

But when the nervous system is deeply dysregulated and locked in chronic survival mode, forcing gratitude often creates more tension. You are trying to impose a high frequency emotion onto a low frequency physiological state. The body rejects it, not because gratitude is wrong, but because the foundation is not yet aligned.

It is like trying to play a symphony on an instrument that is out of tune. The notes are correct, but the sound is distorted because the system itself is not regulated.

Ascension is not about bypassing the body. It is about bringing the body into safety so higher states of consciousness can anchor here. Regulation comes before elevation. Safety comes before frequency. Embodiment is the doorway to ascension.

Signs Your Nervous System Is Healing and Regulating: You begin to move more slowly and deliberately. A regulated nervous system no longer lives in survival mode, so there is no constant urgency to rush, fidget, or fill every moment with constant activity and motion. Your body trusts time again. Slowness becomes a form of safety. Presence replaces pressure.

Your posture naturally changes. As stored tension releases, your shoulders soften, your jaw unclenches, and your spine finds its natural alignment. You are no longer bracing for impact. The body reflects an inner message: I am safe to inhabit myself. This is grounding, embodiment, and ascension expressed physically.

Your reactions become quieter and more spacious. You no longer snap, overexplain, defensively justify yourself, or panic-message for reassurance. Instead of reacting from the wound, you respond from regulation.

Emotional pauses appear. You feel your emotions fully, but they no longer trigger and control your behavior. You are learning to self-soothe rather than self-abandon.

You stop chasing external validation.

When the nervous system stabilizes, the need for constant reassurance dissolves. You no longer search outside yourself to confirm your worth, your intuition, or your decisions. Self-validation becomes natural. You trust your inner knowing. Approval loses its grip because your safety no longer depends on it.

Your voice becomes much calmer and more resonant. As the nervous system harmonizes, your vocal vibrations change. You speak more slowly, with steadiness and intention. There is less force, less proving, less noise.

Your words carry weight because they are aligned. This is coherence between body, heart, and consciousness. Your voice becomes a means of truth rather than defense.

Healing the nervous system is not just recovery. It is remembrance. It is the body learning that it is safe to ascend without leaving itself behind.

In loving and devoted ascension service

Thank You Matt

For some strange reason reading this post from Matt Moberg (actual painter of the above image) tamed my intense inner agitation and reminded me of a William Carlos Williams poem “The Red Wheelbarrow”:

The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams – 1883 – 1963

“ so much depends

upon

a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens “

***

Took me awhile to decipher my subconscious reference, but I think I have it. How we carry our tasks and burdens depends on our vehicle of choice. The angry REDs Matt refers to below for the task carrier above, the WHITE (House) chickens providing both sustenance and manure to haul, giving reason for the red wheelbarrow’s necessity.

Interpretation: How you carry your own dissatisfactions with life in general are your business. No problem there. Mine have been reassigned to WCW’s “Red Wheelbarrow” for the duration of this presidency’s manure hauling.

“Matt Moberg

I started this painting over lunch today, when I could feel my inner addict trolls start breaking too many dishes in the kitchen. The canvas is where I go to see if I’m still standing on anything solid or just throwing fists in mid-air.

It was clarifying in there,

the way a mirror is clarifying when you stop rushing past it.

I’ve been running too fast, sleeping too little.

I hadn’t registered the extent of my own anger,

and the fear underwriting it,

until stillness called my bluff and I had no rebuttal prepared.

Given the moment, and the smell of tear gas from this morning still reaching from my clothes, my impulse was indictment.

To grab ivory black, crimson red, and be the 17th person in your feed today to remind you that no matter what FIFA or Tom Emmer or your aunt from Fargo insists on Facebook, this really is who he is:

an angry old man,

loyal to harm,

allergic to repair,

and unwilling to begin again.

I don’t recant that assessment, I wouldn’t have written it out if I did.

But I noticed something else become apparent as I was in there: The cruelty of Donald J. Trump and his lapdogs was starting to dictate my colors, and I’ve seen this story before.

I’ve seen in myself how opposition, if unattended,

can quickly become apprenticeship.

How easy it is to absorb the posture of the thing you resist.

Its efficiency. Its belief that ends absolve means.

Its preferred emotional climate.

Without knowing it, you start to believe that matching the heat is the same thing as challenging its logic.

It isn’t though. And I don’t want that education.

I don’t want my body to learn it.

I don’t want my boys to inherit it as muscle memory.

I don’t want my city to confuse fear-fed revenge with our future.

So I put the black down and stopped weaponizing the paint.

I left the blood where it belonged.

I picked up pink. Yellow. An orange that wasn’t interested in winning.

I worked it over for an hour and made something imperfect that I’ll bring out to the trash in a little bit,

accepting that not everything needs to be saved

to know that it was faithful.

Before I do though, there’s one thing I want to say —

not as a manifesto, not as a brand position, not as content —

but as a small plea offered while fear is still doing what fear does best:

Do not let his ugliness recruit you.

Do not let it train your hands in destruction when they already know how to create.

Build something beautiful.

Make it stubborn and angry and Good.

Anger is real, justified—and still formative. Listen to it.

Give all your heart without losing any of your head.

Hold the fire without losing the wheel.

Do it again tomorrow. Next week too.

He won’t be around forever. None of them ever are.

And when he’s gone, what we will need is not better arguments or more devastating dunks, but evidence —

living, breathing, ordinary evidence —

that cruelty is not contagious,

that some of us have refused

and will continue to refuse the faster chemistry of retribution

and choose again and again the slower less cinematic work of repair.

Until then, this is me recommitting — awkwardly, inconsistently —to staying human. To choosing color over corrosion.

To trying, badly and often, to participate in the world we are still, improbably, hoping to make.

See you in the streets, fam.

Life Inside the Asylum

Dear Outside World,

I feel the need to share our group experience from living here inside the Asylum. My fellow inmates (excuse me, ‘patients’) are in various states of dissociation, disassociation, and distress—commonly called the ‘3-D’s’ here. Most stumble and mumble about their days saying thing like: ‘I can’t believe we are living through this,” or “When will this lunacy end?”

I try to remain the unaffected observer to it all, but yet, I do live here, too. So ‘good luck’ to me on that front.

Overall most inmates/patients are reasonably non-threatening and more naturally self-consumed; but there is one particular, overbearing, beached-whale-looking oaf who tries to play ‘King of the Loonies’ and creates all sorts of chaos and havoc for the rest of us in here.

We call him T-ass (TASS). Since he has no real friends, they can’t be relied on to come up with a better name for him, which is fine. He’s okay with it, and too self-absorbed to realize the moniker is not complimentary. He assumes it means ‘Takes All Stuff Superiorly’ or something to that effect. As I said, thinking is NOT his strong suit.

TASS lumbers about the building and grounds stealing our food, our blankets, our place in line, our pictures from home, and unfortunately, our underwear. He does so saying something to the effect of: “Jeffery said I could have them all,” before grabbing what he wants, then pinching the attendant on duty on the way out of the room. The men attendants don’t much appreciate it, and the women avoid him completely often threatening him with pocket-tasers.

Me, I’m just trying to get by until my time is up here. I work jigsaw puzzles daily in the community hall, and I have a stack of books from the Asylum library to read in my room. Most of the pages are still in them.

We aren’t allowed community television anymore since the content began to incite group hysteria. Two days of pulling out hair and stripping off clothes led to our TV privileges being removed. Massive bald spots on shaking heads and naked inmates/patients were not conducive to public viewing so the administration, in their infinite wisdom, decided we don’t need the press any longer—they only report the bad stuff here. And WHO wants to hear that?

The last news reporter who tried to do a fluff piece on ‘asylum life’ unfortunately asked TASS why he kept taking all ours and our neighbors personal items and valuables, and he said, “To create world peace,” which though humorous to many, did not play well on the public airwaves. The next day the head psychiatrist said we were on lock down for the ‘foreseeable future’ until our visions of reality shifted to more healthy press releases, or ‘world peace’ actually broke out.

For those of you still on the outside, I just want to assure you that we the inmates/patients of the asylum are on fast-track to reassoicating, retraining, and reeducation—the 3-R’s, as it was described to us. Those treatments were so effective in China’s less-appreciative populations that our administration adopted the practices for us as well.

In closing, here’s wishing the best to those of you who are still out there; meaning, you are NOT in here with us. If you would like to see us in person, I can also assure you that we are still allowed visitors if you are white, wealthy, and world-dominating. Or as the admittance staff commonly refers to them: the 3-W’s.

Your friend, always and forever, or as long as my sanity holds,

Inmate/patient #649351.

Return of the Light for 2025

December 21^st marks the shortest daylight hours and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; and this Winter Solstice does indeed feel epochal and ominous.

What lies ahead for us as the Light returns? Could it portend a better day, or weeks or years? Could it be worse? (Sorry. Little joke on my part, because it can always be worse.)

I was sitting back yesterday assessing our current state of insanity and wondering what the next year beginning January 1^st might slap onto our plates for consumption; then decided it was best to not go there, and instead just hold the highest thoughts and energies, hoping for the best for all of us.

Then this morning I received this email—one of dozens from more spiritual sites, and thought it was worth sharing with you since self-realization, self-reflection, and self-growth are key components for making the most of your time in this dimension of existence. Perhaps the suggested questions below are worth considering for those who do self-assessments and reflections this time of year.

So I’m just passing them along from AskTheo:

***

“…One of the themes THEO returns to again and again is the importance of rhythm. They teach us that growth doesn’t happen in a straight line and that periods of pause often serve a deeper intelligence.
If you’ve been hard on yourself lately; if you’ve measured your year by what didn’t happen fast enough, or what you didn’t do “perfectly”…
… let this day be a permission slip.
The Solstice carries a simple message: nothing is wrong.

What feels like stillness is often preparation.
What feels like uncertainty is often re-orientation.
THEO invites you to soften your relationship with time today.
Instead of asking What should I be doing next?, you might gently ask:

Where have I grown that I haven’t acknowledged?

What am I ready to release so I can feel lighter?

What part of me is asking to be met with more compassion?

What kind of energy do I want to carry forward as the light returns?

You don’t need a dramatic transformation to begin again. Sometimes the most powerful shift is simply choosing to be kinder to yourself… and allowing your own inner light to shine.

From AskTHEO – on 2025-12-21 …”
