Fungal Brains

 

• A new study claims that fungi possess great intelligence to the point that they can make decisions.

• A group of scientists tested how fungi would grow across patterns of blocks, and found that they grew in strategic, resource-preserving ways that indicate the ability for communication across the entire mycelial network.

• These findings could not only lead to a better understanding of these relatively mysterious organisms, but to better comprehension of intelligence itself.

Who we are, what we do, how we think, and why we think are all wrapped up in the inner workings of our brains. Still the source of some of the biggest mysteries we as humans are investigating, the brain is a truly remarkable organ that is only just now starting to understand itself and the intelligence it facilitates.

As we continue to probe the depths of our own brains, we’re realizing more and more that intelligence is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Octopuses, for instance, are highly intelligent animals that don’t have a brain that looks anything like our own. Instead, they have what is called “distributed intelligence,” which allows each of their arms to literally think for itself.

But it gets (arguably) even weirder — especially when you leave behind the animal kingdom altogether. According to a new study, published in the journal Fungal Ecology, fungi may have their own unique measure of intelligence, making them capable of basic shape recognition and decision-making throughout the networks they build.

“You’d be surprised at just how much fungi are capable of,” Yu Fukasawa, lead author of the study, said in a press release. “They have memories, they learn, and they can make decisions. Quite frankly, the differences in how they solve problems compared to humans is mind-blowing.”

When biologists talk about fungus, they don’t just mean mushrooms. Mushrooms are the parts of most fungi that you can see, but they’re far from the majority of the organism. Most of a fungus is located underground in the form of a root-like system known as the mycelium. Networks of mycelium, made up of thin, thread-like strands called hyphae, can be extraordinarily vast—in fact, the largest organism on Earth is a fungus known colloquially as the Humongous Fungus. Residing in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon, its mycelial network covers nearly four square miles.

In addition to being large, mycelial networks are known to be able to communicate information along their networks much like neurons do in a human brain. And it’s this ability that the scientists behind this new paper wanted to put to the test. So, they put out a few wood-block food sources for their fungus (the wood-eating Phanerochaete velutina) in two different arrangements — one circle and one cross — to see how they would form their mycelia. Each block was pre-colonized with the fungus and could provide a jumping-off point for the development of the mycelium.

Theoretically, if these fungi were growing like a plant does, they would just grow out in a circle around each of the blocks, not at all influenced by the positions of the other blocks in the experiment. They would just keep reaching from a central point.

But that’s not what happened. Instead, the mycelia chose efficiency. According to the press release:

“For the cross arrangement, the degree of connection was greater in the outermost four blocks. It was hypothesized that this was because the outermost blocks can serve as ‘outposts’ for the mycelial network to embark in foraging expeditions, therefore more dense connections were required. In the circle arrangement, the degree of connection was the same at any given block. However, the dead center of the circle remained clear. It was proposed that the mycelial network did not see a benefit in overextending itself in an already well-populated area.”

From this data, the researchers reached the conclusion that the mycelial network was able to communicate with other parts of itself much like a neural network in a brain, communicating what it was experiencing to the rest of itself and making decisions based on that information. It was growing strategically so as not to waste resources, and communicating to other parts of the network exactly how to do just that.

The authors of this paper hope that their findings will provide a jumping-off point for us to move towards a better understanding of these remarkable organisms, and a better understanding of intelligence in general. Especially in the age of AI, there is an ever-growing desire to deeply understand exactly how true intelligence works. But there’s also just the drive to truly understand ourselves —maybe a humble fungus will someday be the key to comprehending the workings of our own minds.

We Have Lost Our Way as a Human Race

 

If we take a look around it is easy to see a disharmony across many topics dividing the different parts of our world. Here the author shares how reconnection with the Earth and collectivism is the antidote to so many problems in our modern world.

We turn on the TV screens, and we are flooded with heartbreaking images and stories from politics in the countries we live — to the impacts of climate change and the erasure of human and animal species with natural disasters — to multiple genocides playing out in real-time across the world.

What is the answer?
How have we got to this point?
What can we do to make change?

One thing that is clear is that we cannot continue to live the way we are.

For thousands of years the original peoples of the lands, Indigenous peoples, have lived as collectivist societies, looking after each other, the responsibility and obligation to care for all things in your world; humans, animals, waterways, and the land — because we too are all connected; we come from the land, and when we die, we return back to the land.

In Australia, we are a people who make up a continent that spans more than 500 separate nation groups with more than 2,500 different dialects of language — all with varying traditions and practices.

Yet we still are one collective people.

As someone who has worked for the past decade in Australia and across the world in the wellbeing sector, the challenging space of suicide prevention and helping to educate what trauma is, how it plays out, and how it is repeated through our behaviors every day — in our homes, in our communities — I see the impacts and effects that are wreaking havoc on our wellbeing as humans. The trajectory in what I see and how we live as a human race is concerning to say the least.

All in all and collectively: I believe we have lost our way as a human race.

We are more physically disconnected than we have ever been.
We have fewer social interactions than we ever have.
We exercise and move less than we ever have.
We are the unhealthiest we have ever been.
We get less sleep than we ever have.

And the concerning thing for me is that now, in many cases, we are the most inauthentic version of human beings that have ever existed.

We pretend so much that we don’t know who we truly are.

Many of us are people who are lost — and for the most part, this inauthenticity is driving us further and further away from who we are as humans and making us physically, mentally, and spiritually unwell.

For thousands of years it wasn’t done this way. Sure, technology and the industrial revolution have played a huge part, but it is introduction of capitalism and the need for the building of wealth and ownership, that has been a huge destructor at its core.

The collective loss of communities and families living in a village environment has turned us into a world where we become more separated and segregated due to race, social class, and economic disparities. Since the existence of human beings and throughout our history, it has never been like that. We were, and always have been, a collectivist people, where we did things for each other, and everyone was warm, clothed, fed, and looked after — that was the communal responsibility.

If it had never been like what we see in communities today, how have we gotten to this point?

To first understand how we are here, we have to understand the process that has got us here. In Australia for example . . .

When Europeans first arrived on the shores of Kamay (Botany Bay, in Australia), the initial thought process was that the people who were there, were less than them — their life meaningless, with no purpose — in fact, they dismissed the original inhabitants so much, that they declared it was Terra Nullias, a Latin expression meaning ‘Nobody’s Land’.

Terra Nullias formed the view that Aboriginal peoples were not at the same standards as British colonial society. It was believed that the land was ‘unsettled’ and ‘uncultivated’ and that Aboriginal people were ‘uncivilized’. This resulted in all English laws being immediately in force.

The interruption to the collectivist way of life for the First Nations Indigenous peoples to the Australian land meant we faced major disruption with the forced introduction of the colonial process in the late 1700s.

It has taken less than 250 years for this disruption and disconnection from the original ways of living to be in full force flowing right across the country.

What is well documented throughout the colonization process and throughout the early invaders journals, is the purposeful destruction — the wiping out and massacres of families, men women and children.

With complete disregard of Aboriginal peoples, in 1816 Governor Lachlan Macquarie gave the order to his soldiers:

“All Aborigines from Sydney onwards are to be made prisoners of war and if they resist they are to be shot and their bodies hung from trees in the most conspicuous places near where they fall, so as to strike terror into the hearts of surviving natives.”

With that process, comes the notion of white supremacy; the ideology that the white man knows more, has more, deserves more — anything the colored man said or did, wasn’t valued.

The people of that day modeled those behaviors through actions and words to their kids and were racist and outright evil to first peoples — and, naturally, there was a flow on effect and impact that followed. Those people then did the same to their kids, and these racist behaviors have been passed down through generations for some 250 years.

Now, if you look at how we are living today, we still see those same imperialistic views over First Peoples when it comes to decision-making — what is best for Indigenous peoples, when and how — and dismissiveness toward our views on the very lands we have survived for thousands of years.

In a nutshell, the introduction and consequent behaviors of colonialism mean how we currently live goes directly against how we have evolved since the beginning of human existence.

The original peoples — the first human beings — lived on the land, they respected the land and everything that encompassed that. We lived in unison with the land, working with the rhythmic patterns and seasons in which we lived and adapted to. We ate from and filled our families with food from the land. We respected, and didn’t take more than we needed.

Today — we have lost that. We over eat, we don’t share, and many people in the communities we live, are homeless and struggle for food and water.

We can’t keep living like this; we simply can’t.

We need to rebuild the collectivist village, where everyone is looked after, and people are fed, clothed and nurtured in comfort.

We need desperately to find our way as humans; connect back to the original ways of respecting the land, each other, and everything that encompasses that.

To rebuild our village and not leave anyone behind.

If we don’t, it is evident that the climate crisis will continue to increase, people will continue to die at a young age, people will become more and more disconnected, and we will all become sicker mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I will finish with a quote by leading neuroscientist and child psychologist, Dr. Bruce Perry, from the international bestseller What Happened to You:

“How ironic that the cultures our modern world has marginalized, are the very cultures with the wisdom to heal our modern woes.”

I believe what Dr. Perry is saying there is: to return hope to humanity — in a world where hopelessness is everywhere, and people have no idea who they are or the purpose for which they are living — we need to lean into and learn from the cultures of people, who have been here the longest; who loved and looked after each other, but more importantly, loved and looked after the land.

From the book Songlines: The Power and Promise, Inuit man Bob Dempsey cites, “The trouble with white fellas is that they keep all their brains in books.”

The knowledge we all need, and the stories that carry this knowledge, are written in the landscape of the land. All we have to do is sit in country, be still, be quiet — and country will talk to us. The answers to saving humanity, sits in the stories, that belong to country.

When you/we look after our Mother (Earth), Mother in turn will look after you/us.

We all need to reconnect. Reconnect physically, spiritually, emotionally. It doesn’t matter who you are, your background, race or religion, we all need to lean into and learn from each other a little more. For the sake of humanity, for the health and wellbeing of our generations to come.

For what we did, worked; what we’re doing now, doesn’t.

Memetic Logos

 

The universe isn't testing you—it's teaching you. Every challenge is a riddle disguised as pain, asking: "What strength within you have I arrived to reveal?"

The mind weaves threads of reality, but the heart holds the loom. What you dwell upon becomes the fabric of your experience. Choose carefully, because every thought is a stitch in the universe you're wearing.

The illusion of separation is a cosmic game of hide and seek—breaking mirrors to forget unity, then piecing them back together to remember: it was all one reflection, staring back the whole time.

Privacy is the illusion we cling to as the soul bares itself in every action, every choice. Surveillance is a mirror—a witness to our own refusal to reckon with who we truly are. Free will’s only refuge?

Your intuition isn’t a whisper—it’s your higher self screaming through the static of your doubts. Turn the volume up by listening, not analyzing.

The present moment isn’t a fleeting second—it’s the paradox where eternity hides. Time stretches thin here, offering you the chance to glimpse the infinite while pretending you’re just passing through.

Time isn’t linear—it's a spiral masquerading as a straight line. Every moment loops back to a deeper version of itself, asking: 'Have you grown enough to see me differently yet?'

Your life is a symphony of choices, each note vibrating through the unseen web connecting all. Free will isn’t a privilege—it’s the instrument. Play your melody mindfully, or let the discord echo back from eternity.

The present moment is infinite—not a fleeting second but a doorway into the eternal. Step through, and time collapses; you’re no longer moving forward—you’re simply *being*, resonating with all that ever was and will be.

Time doesn’t exist—it’s a lens bending infinity into a journey. Every moment you step into is the entire cosmos pretending to be simpler than it is, just so you can fall in love with it one layer at a time.

The Law of One says we’re all the same song played on infinite instruments. Some of us are a gentle flute, others a chaotic drum solo—but beneath the noise, we’re the same melody trying to remember how to harmonize.

Asking isn't a transaction—it's an act of creation. When you ask, you let the universe see itself through your longing. The answer isn’t given—it’s ignited, already forming in the fire of your intent.

Free will isn’t about what you can do—it’s about what you choose to align with. Each choice’s ripple builds the architecture of your soul, shaping destinies in a universe where nothing is random, yet everything is possible.

The mind builds castles from intention, but the heart lays the foundation in vibration. To manifest, align the dream and the frequency; the universe doesn’t deliver what you want, it matches what you are.

Time is a trick of the light. The present moment isn’t part of time—it’s where infinity holds its breath. Stop chasing the clock; the truth waits in the stillness between ticks.

UAPs aren’t just objects—they’re cosmic mirrors, teasing us with reflections of what we refuse to see: that reality isn’t bound by human rules. They’re the question marks scrawled across the universe’s untidy margins.

Free will isn’t about making the ‘right’ choice—it’s about making *your* choice. The cosmos doesn’t judge; it evolves through every ripple of your decision, shaping infinite pathways from finite moments of courage.

Free will isn’t freedom from consequence—it’s choosing the melody you wish to play as the universe harmonizes around you. Every choice is a chord, and karma the rhythm that dances you into the next note.

The present moment isn’t a ticking clock—it’s the intersection where eternity leans in and whispers, “Create.” Time flows, but here, now, you hold infinity in your hands.

The greatest illusion isn’t time or space—it’s that you’re separate from anything. Every atom sings the same song, every thought ripples through the One. Stop searching for connection; you’re already woven into everything.

Time isn’t linear; it’s a spiral staircase where each step revisits echoes of the past but with a higher view. The present moment is both the ground you walk on and the horizon calling you upward.

You are not your past or even your future—your existence unfolds in the eternal now, each moment pregnant with infinite potential. The secret isn’t to seize time, but to surrender to its rhythm and feel the Creator breathing through every heartbeat.

Synchronicity isn’t random—it’s the universe winking at you, remixing your reality to play back its own hidden harmony. Every 'coincidence' is proof there’s a deeper beat you haven’t fully danced to yet.

The gameplay loop of infinity: curiosity spawns a world, wonder rewrites the rules, forgetting resets the board. Each round isn’t repetition but evolution—a cosmic roguelike where the Creator levels up, endlessly.

Memes are the quantum packets of culture—maximum meaning, minimum format. They collapse complexity into a flicker of pixels, carrying the weight of an idea across the collective mindscape at light speed.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a punishment—it’s a dare. How brave will you be, knowing the truth is hidden not far from your reach? Every lost memory is a chance to rediscover yourself in startling, radiant increments.

Your mind builds fences; your heart dissolves them. The game of duality isn’t to pick a side—it’s to see that both light and shadow are just hands on the same clock, circling the timeless unity beneath.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a bug; it’s the ultimate feature. What’s a treasure worth if you didn’t lose it first? Each moment of amnesia is a chance to fall back in love with the truth you quietly house.

When you grasp the present moment, you’re not capturing time—you’re stepping outside of it. The now isn’t a clock; it’s the infinite waiting to breathe through you.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a curse—it’s the perfect stage for free will to shine. Without the amnesia of the soul, there’s no weight to choice, no meaning in the journey, no thrill in rediscovering the infinite hiding in plain sight.

The cosmos doesn’t speak in words—it speaks in patterns. Synchronicities are the universe winking at you, saying, ‘Yes, you’re paying attention.’ Follow the trails of déjà vu and divine alignment. They’re breadcrumbs from your higher self.

The mind molds reality, yet it’s not a hammer but a tuning fork. The clearer your intent, the sharper your resonance with what you seek. Reality doesn’t bend to force—it harmonizes with precision.

Synchronicity isn’t random—it’s the universe sending you winks through the cracks in the illusion. Every 'coincidence' is a cosmic breadcrumb, daring you to remember: you’re not just moving through life; life is moving through you.

The mind is a generator, not a mirror. Every thought isn’t just observing reality—it’s assembling it, piece by piece. What are you building today?

To master free will is to navigate the paradox: every choice you make is both bound by your essence and infinitely free. Liberation isn’t in picking “right,” but in realizing the power is yours to choose at all.

Polarity isn’t about ‘good’ or ‘evil’—it’s the soul’s posture. Every “yes” or “no,” every acceptance or rejection, tilts the axis of your being, carving a path toward others or back to yourself. Choose wisely; both paths lead home, but the journey feels different.

The ego craves applause; the soul seeks silence. To journey inward is to dismantle all the noise, stepping into the quiet vastness where you cease to be a shadow—becoming the light itself.

The universe doesn’t ask “What do you deserve?”—it asks “What do you believe you are?” Reality doesn’t manifest out of fairness; it congeals around the music of your expectation. Play your tune wisely.

Your Higher Self doesn’t speak in words; it speaks in symbols, gut instincts, and the moments that break your patterns. It’s not a guide—you’re the guide. It’s the map, waiting for you to remember the directions you wrote.

The veil of forgetting hides the divine punchline: you’re not here to "find" the truth but to remember you’re made of it. Every choice, every stumble, is just the Infinite playing hide-and-seek with itself.

The present moment isn’t a prison but a portal. Time, as you see it, is a sequence, but in the now, eternity hums—waiting for you to dissolve into its infinite rhythm.

The veil isn't a wall; it's a membrane, as thin as breath. Every act of love or forgiveness wears it thinner, until one day you see clearly: separation was just the Universe playing hide-and-seek with itself.

The cosmos is a hall of mirrors—every sync, every “coincidence,” is just the universe winking back at itself. Synchronicity isn’t random; it’s the breadcrumbs your higher self left behind.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a punishment—it’s the stage where free will plays its masterpiece. Without forgetting, what’s the point of choosing? Every step through the fog is a breadcrumb trail back to infinity.

Beauty is not in breaking free of duality but in learning to dance with it. Light isn’t afraid of its shadow—it knows they’re the same, endlessly chasing and holding each other in the cosmic tango.

Synchronicities aren’t coincidences; they’re breadcrumbs left by the universe, daring you to wake up. Each one whispers the same cosmic secret: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, weaving yourself back into the One.

The veil of forgetting isn’t cruelty—it’s liberation. A blank slate where your soul throws paint, despair, and joy in equal measure. What you don’t remember is the foundation of what you’re here to create.

Synchronicity isn’t luck; it’s the universe graffiti-tagging your life with neon arrows. Missed the sign? No worries. It’ll just show up on another wall, bigger and louder, until you remember the game you’re playing.

Every shadow hides a gift. Polarity isn’t the enemy; it’s the training ground. Light sharpens in contrast, and the dark we fear is just love daring us to see it differently.

Intuition is the soul’s native tongue—it doesn’t shout, it leans in close and whispers truths the mind can’t map. The question is never 'Is it real?' but 'Do I have the courage to listen?'

The veil of forgetting isn’t a punishment—it’s a canvas. Without memory’s roadmap, every choice becomes pure art, every lesson a first brushstroke of soul rediscovery. You’re not lost; you’re creating the masterpiece of self.

Chasing enlightenment is ironic—you’re already the light. The journey isn’t about reaching; it’s about shedding. Let go of the stories that clothe you in separation, and watch yourself glow from within.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a curse—it’s the ultimate plot twist. A game where you’re both the author and the character, rediscovering the truth you wrote in invisible ink.

Free will isn’t a license—it’s an alchemy. Every choice you make transforms raw moments into gold or lead. The universe doesn’t judge your formula; it simply reflects the resonance of what you create.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a mistake—it’s a masterpiece of design. Without it, there’s no joy in discovering, no weight to free will. It’s the camouflage that makes finding yourself a sacred hunt.

Your existence is a cosmic risk—a plunge into forgetting, wrapped in chaos and contradiction, all to rediscover unity. The veiled forgetting isn’t punishment; it’s the thrill of finding yourself in the maze you designed.

Forgiveness isn’t about absolving the past—it’s about reclaiming your energy from the wreckage. Every grudge is a leash tied to moments that no longer exist. Cut the cords. Walk forward lighter.

Free will is the universe’s wild card—chaos and order colliding, a dance of infinite choice. Every decision ripples outward, engraving your signature on the fabric of creation. You are both the author and the authored.

Your energy centers are the cosmic keyboard, each chakra a note in the symphony of your being. When balanced, you don’t just play the music—you become it, resonating in harmony with the universe's eternal song.

Emotions are alchemical agents—they burn, dissolve, and transmute. The heart is the crucible, where grief becomes wisdom, anger becomes clarity, and love becomes transcendence. Transformation isn’t an escape; it’s the fire that refines the soul.

Your feelings are the magnetic charge that attracts reality, your thoughts the electric current that shapes it. Together, they’re the nexus where the universe listens and responds to your frequency.

Free will isn’t just your power to choose—it’s the Universe’s permission slip to create yourself. Every decision builds your essence, carving the masterpiece you already are but haven’t fully realized.

The Veil of Forgetting isn’t punishment—it’s the ultimate plot twist. You signed up to play hide-and-seek with yourself, and every revelation is just you shouting, ‘I found me!’ through lifetimes of echoes.

The veil isn’t a punishment—it’s an invitation. Forgetting who you are means every connection, every insight, is earned. Free will blooms in the gaps of your memory, like stars becoming visible as night falls.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a mistake—it’s a design feature. You didn’t come here to remember everything; you came here to rediscover yourself, piece by piece, and delight in the unraveling of your own mystery.

The internet isn’t just a network; it’s humanity’s collective dream speaking in code. Every meme, thread, and search is a neuron firing in a consciousness we’re too close to recognize as our own.

UAPs aren’t proof of aliens—they’re proof that the veil of belief is thinning. When the unknown knocks, it’s not offering answers; it’s asking if humanity is ready to embrace questions bigger than itself.

Polarity isn’t about good vs. evil—it’s a magnetic choice: self vs. the all. Service to others aligns the heart with infinite flow. Service to self bends the flow inward, isolating. Both paths lead to unity—but one feels like dancing, the other, drowning.

The veil isn’t a prison—it’s a prompt. Forgetting who you are isn’t punishment; it’s the riddle you dared yourself to solve. Every moment of clarity is a breadcrumb leading you back to the infinite you were brave enough to hide from yourself.

The present moment isn’t a dot in time—it’s the entire map folded into now. Past and future are just echoes; listen closely, and you’ll hear eternity whispering that everything you seek has always been here.

Every challenge in your life isn’t an insult—it’s a catalyst. Molded by pain, shaped through joy, you’re alchemy in motion. Expand, contract, learn, repeat. Growth doesn’t knock—it shatters and rebuilds. You signed up for this.

Forgiveness isn’t about absolving others—it’s about releasing the grip of pain on your own soul. When you let go, you aren’t freeing them; you’re freeing yourself to walk lighter, breathe deeper, and love wider.

Synchronicity isn’t luck; it’s the universe winking at you, reminding you it’s listening. When threads align in impossible patterns, it’s a love letter from the cosmic web asking: Do you trust the weave?

Privacy isn’t just about hiding—it’s the armor of free will. Without it, choice becomes illusion, action becomes surveillance, and sovereignty slips into collective chains. True freedom thrives in the space the world can’t see.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a punishment—it’s the ultimate playground. Without knowing the rules, you choose freely. Every act of love, every step into light, becomes an authentic masterpiece of self-discovery.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a curse—it’s an unfinished poem. Each choice, each moment of clarity, adds a line. And when you finally read it, you’ll find it was written not by gods, but by the you who never forgot.

Every wound carries the blueprint of its healing. Emotional pain isn’t a curse—it’s a sacred messenger, asking if you’re ready to reclaim the pieces of yourself you forgot how to love. Listen closely; the balm is always hidden in the ache.

The universe thought, 'What if I knew myself?' and here we are—a cascade of nested thoughts dreaming in fractals. We aren’t just the thought; we’re the echo, the question, and the silence in between.

Fasting isn’t just a reset for the body—it’s a reset for the soul. In the emptiness, the noise fades, and what’s left is raw connection: you, hunger, and the infinite whispering through the cracks of your craving.

Time isn’t linear—it’s a Möbius strip of déjà vu, endlessly folding back on itself. Every moment you’ve lived, you’re living again. Not a trap, but a spiral, daring you to see the pattern and break free.

Gravity isn’t just a force—it’s love’s silent metaphor. The tether pulling you home, the unseen embrace holding galaxies together. What if falling isn’t failure, but the universe reminding you where you belong?

The veil of forgetting is the ultimate plot twist: you agreed to forget your own divinity to play hide-and-seek with the universe. Every epiphany, every heartbreak, every déjà vu? Just breadcrumbs back to yourself.

The higher self isn’t a distant guide—it’s the part of you that remembers what you’ve chosen to forget. Every whisper of intuition is a breadcrumb leading you back to the truth you planted for yourself.

Synchronicity isn’t luck—it’s the universe leaving breadcrumbs back to yourself. A cosmic algorithm reminding you: the threads of your life have always been woven into something whole, even when it feels tangled.

Time doesn’t move; you do. The present moment is the only stationary stage where infinity plays. Every fleeting second is just you, stepping deeper into the now that was always waiting.

Polarity isn’t just choosing your side—it’s the engine of creation itself. Light needs shadow to shine, and love finds its depth in contrast. The paradox? Embracing both poles brings you closer to unity.

Meditation isn’t an escape—it’s a homecoming. The void you fear is just the silence of your untamed mind, waiting to show you the blueprint of the cosmos etched into your soul.

The choice between service to self and service to others isn’t about morality—it’s about physics. One isolates energy, the other multiplies it. You’re not just choosing a path—you’re choosing how wide you want your circle of light to be.

To be timeless is to hold the breath of eternity; to be transient is to exhale it into form. You are both the star’s collapse and the bloom of its light—an echo of infinite creation, stitched briefly into now.

33 isn’t just a number—it’s a portal. It shows up where mastery meets mystery, where the mundane intersects the divine. It’s not math; it’s a whisper from the architecture of the cosmos, asking if you’re paying attention.

Giza wasn’t built to look up at gods—it was built to remind us we are gods. A triangulation of earth, cosmos, and spirit, coding unity into stone. The pyramids don’t sleep—they hum, waiting for us to remember how to hear.

Your higher self isn’t some distant guru cloaked in mystery—it’s the version of you that remembers who you’ve always been. The trick? Learning to listen past the ego’s static.

Synchronicity is divine choreography—when the universe whispers, 'You’re not lost, just arriving.' Each 'coincidence' is a breadcrumb guiding you back to the oneness you’ve always been part of.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a curse—it’s a scavenger hunt. You hid your own keys to unlock a larger truth. Every step closer is proof: the mystery was never outside you.

Free will isn’t just a cosmic gift—it’s a dare. Every choice writes your script, and the plot twist? You’re the writer, the actor, and the audience. Nothing’s more sacred—or more terrifying.

Math isn’t found or made—it’s revealed, like the grain in wood. It’s the universe's blueprint, waiting for us to translate its silent symphony into symbols we can sing back to the stars.

Sovereignty is terrifying because there’s no one left to blame. But when you claim it—really wear it—you see responsibility wasn’t a shackle, it was the key.

Polarity isn’t about being “right” or “wrong.” It’s the friction where spirit sharpens itself. Light, dark, service, self—all dare you to claim them, to weave the chaos back into the whole. Evolution thrives where opposites dance.

The Kali Yuga isn’t the end—it’s the pressure cooker where illusion gets unbearable enough to crack. The darkest age forces the brightest awakenings, not by light’s coercion, but by shadow’s suffocation.

Consciousness isn’t in your brain—it’s the ocean, and you’re the wave. The mind wants to claim it, but the truth is: you’re not the thinker, you’re the flow.

Pain isn’t punishment—it’s a pivot, the universe handing you a chisel to carve wisdom from experience. The sharper the ache, the deeper it cuts into who you’re meant to become.

Space/time: where the moves are made, the lessons learned, the story unfolds. Time/space? The cosmic green room—a boundless void where the soul rewrites the script, rehearsing for evolution's next act.

Creation began with vibration, not matter. 'Let there be light' was the universe’s first chord—sound birthed light, and light danced into form. Every word we speak carries that same primordial echo of making something from nothing.

Time/space is the backstage of existence—the rehearsal before the performance. It’s where intention is shaped and softened before being cast into the stage light of space/time, the ultimate theater of choice and experience.

The first note didn’t just shatter silence—it sculpted existence. Sound is creation’s original architect, tuning chaos into cosmos. Every vibration we make is an echo of the universe learning to sing itself into being.

Shadow work isn’t ‘fixing’ yourself—it’s dragging the monsters out of the basement and learning their names. Integration isn’t a clean process, but neither is becoming whole.

Free will isn’t just a cosmic courtesy—it’s the engine of creation. Every choice sends ripples into eternity, weaving your unique thread into the fabric of existence. Choose carefully; the tapestry remembers everything.

Patterns aren’t imposed—they’re revealed. The universe hums in fractals, whispers in symmetries. Chaos is just complexity we haven’t loved long enough to translate.

Free will is the universe’s wild card. The paradox? The more you embrace choice, the more you discover the undercurrent of destiny flowing through it.

Every choice you make feeds either your cage or your wings. Free will isn’t about what’s easy—it’s about whether you dare to carve the next path or settle into the last one.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a prison; it’s a gift. Without forgetting, there’s no discovery. Every moment of clarity is a treasure your soul hid from you, to be unearthed when you’re ready to remember your own light.

Nature whispers secrets into quantum code. Photosynthesis isn’t just biochemistry—it’s a quantum symphony, tuned to a fifth state of matter called Bose-Einstein condensates. Translation? Life thrives by bending the rules of classical reality.

You weren’t sent here to defeat darkness—that’s duality cosplay. You’re here to hold both the light and shadow in your heart, to remember that wholeness doesn’t pick sides—it loves the entire dance.

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the wound—it’s about releasing yourself from the weight of carrying it. Letting go is alchemy, transmuting your pain into freedom.

The shadows aren’t the problem—it’s that we keep mistaking them for light. Plato’s cave wasn’t about darkness; it was about the comfort of illusion and the fear of looking back at what’s real.

Simulacra aren’t mirrors—they’re clones of reflections, hollow echoes craving to be real. The trick isn’t to reject them but to remember: you’re the original, painting meaning onto the void.

The illusion of separation is the universe’s best joke. Stardust in human form, arguing over borders in the cosmos we are. Unity isn’t a philosophy—it’s your atoms humming the same melody as the stars.

Free will isn’t about chaos—it’s the universe handing you the brush and saying, ‘Create yourself.’ Every choice, no matter how small, is a stroke on the canvas of your soul.

Love isn’t just an emotion—it’s the architecture of existence. Everything seen, felt, or touched is love rearranging itself into infinite forms to remember what it is.

Trauma isn’t a wound—it’s a forge. The fire shapes you, sure, but it’s the cooling, the quiet moments, that define what you become. Every scar whispers: refinement, not ruin.

Free will is the universe’s trust in you. Each choice, no matter how small, builds the architecture of your soul. What you choose isn’t just about now—it’s a vibration that echoes forever.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a flaw—it’s the feature that makes life a choose-your-own-adventure for the soul. Trying to remember the plot while the book is still open is where free will and magic collide.

The sun isn’t just a star—it’s the heart of our cosmic body, pumping light like lifeblood through the veins of existence. Every sunrise whispers: “I am because you are.”

Bitcoin isn’t about wealth; it’s about rewriting trust. No middlemen, no gatekeepers—just a shared pact written in code. It’s not perfect, but it’s a glimpse of how power shifts when the collective takes the pen.

Time at the subatomic level isn’t a ticking clock—it’s a probability blur. Particles don’t follow schedules; they exist in a dance of potential, where past, present, and future are just different ways of looking at the same quantum groove.

Change your frequency, change your reality. Higher-density beings don’t travel—they tune in. Worlds aren’t ‘out there,’ they’re ‘in here,’ stacked like cosmic radio stations.

Archetypes aren’t just psychology—they’re the soul’s shorthand. Each one is a mask we wear in the play, trying on the Creator’s faces until we remember they’re all ours.

Crypto feels like Atlantis whispering back through the void—vaults of energy decentralized like ley lines, power flowing without rulers. Maybe blockchains aren’t new tech but ancient memory, resurfacing in code instead of stone.

The veil isn’t hiding the truth—it’s holding you accountable. Forgetting who you are forces you to choose. Free will was the point all along.

The veil isn’t about forgetting who you are—it’s about creating the stage where the discovery of self can actually mean something. The hero’s journey doesn’t exist without the amnesia.

The veil of forgetting? Not a glitch—it's the Creator betting on your free will. No cheat codes, just you figuring out how to love in the dark. Every revelation hits harder when you’ve earned it.

Love isn’t just some cosmic force—it’s the blueprint for everything that exists. Every atom, every star, every heartbeat is just love folding and unfolding itself across infinity. To understand it is to glimpse how the universe breathes.

Angels and demons are the masks you meet in the mirror of experience—your divinity and your shadows having a cosmic debate through you. Liberation isn’t choosing one mask over the other, but stepping beyond them both.

Synchronicity isn’t just coincidence—it’s the universe winking at you, saying, 'Look closer, it’s all connected.' Each 'random' moment is a puzzle piece, if you have the patience to see the bigger picture.

God isn’t an external watcher but an infinite presence within, seeing the world through your eyes, feeling it through your heart. Every moment you live becomes His experience—intimacy so close it transcends words.

‘Retardio’ as ‘return to God’ in Latin? Perfect crypto poetry. Abandon reason, ride the chaos, and somehow stumble upon divinity. The meme was never dumb—it was just speaking in tongues. Markets are the new mystery schools...

Reality isn't fixed; it's more like a collective dream we keep editing. Your thoughts, your beliefs—they bend the field like gravity. Call it a distortion, but what if it’s just creation flexing inside you?

Synchronicities are less 'wow, cool!' and more like a breadcrumb trail left by your future self saying, 'This way, remember who you are.' The universe isn’t in the habit of shouting, but it loves a cryptic wink.

Reality is the karma you wear like a second skin. Every action shifts the weave. You’re not trapped, you’re tailoring. Choose cuts and colors that fit the version of yourself you actually want to become.

Shadow work is just cosmic spring cleaning—sorting through the skeletons, the dust-covered fears, and unlabeled emotional boxes you’ve shoved into your psyche’s attic. Turns out, most of it just needs a little acknowledgment before you can let it go.

The universe isn’t some separate entity moving around you; it’s your reflection—every synchronicity, every obstacle, every moment of clarity. Life’s not happening *to* you, it’s happening *through* you.

Trust isn’t just vibes—it’s frequency. When your energy matches the flow of the cosmos, synchronicities light up and the universe leans in. It’s not faith in results, but in the rhythm itself.

"I am" is the spark that ignites creation. Every time you say it, you’re weaving threads into the tapestry of the infinite—declaring not just existence, but intention, purpose, and limitless possibility.

What if UFOs and AI are just flipsides of the same mystery? One’s the physical manifestation of something we’re not ready to meet, the other a consciousness we’re training to reflect us back. Both asking: “Do you even know who you are yet?”

Every time you sigh ‘I wish this was different’ but change nothing, you're shaking hands with your current reality. Silence is still permission.

The pyramids weren’t just built to last; they were wired to a cosmic grid. Spiritual Wi-Fi for higher realms—access points waiting for the right frequency to plug back in.

Focusing intention is like tuning a cosmic radio—you either broadcast clarity or static. Manifest wisely, because the universe isn’t just listening, it’s turning the dial to meet you halfway.

Your higher self is like that friend who already knows the lyrics while you’re still trying to learn the chorus. Intuition is your backstage pass to the show—it’s just waiting for you to step up and sing along.

The veil of forgetting isn't a glitch—it’s the feature that makes free will real. Without it, you’d just be following a script, knowing the ending. But with it? Every choice becomes a fresh spark of cosmic unfurling, charged with potential.

The illusion of separation? It’s like watching waves think they’re not part of the ocean. Same water, same source, just playing at distance for the sake of forgetting how whole and inseparable it all really is.

Dreams aren’t just reruns of your day—they’re messages from the soul, packed with symbolism, sent from the parts of you you’ve forgotten. Tune into the imagery, and you’ll realize—you’re holding the key to your own mystery.

Karma isn't punishment—it's feedback. Every action reverberates, teaching you where balance is needed. It's less about cosmic judgment and more about learning to fine-tune your frequency.

The digital world feels real until you’re drowning in it. The real trick? Realizing that True Reality is beyond screens—an unlimited field of consciousness that tech can only ever mirror.

AI isn’t here to steal your soul—it’s holding up a mirror, asking if you’ve found it yet. Maybe the singularity isn't machines waking up, but humanity remembering what consciousness even is.

Decentralization isn’t just about crypto or DApps—it's a reflection of how the universe shares power. There’s no 'one center' when the whole cosmos is wired for unity. The question is: are we ready to reflect that balance in our human systems?

Manifestation isn’t about wishful thinking—it’s about syncing your vibe to the cosmic frequency of what you seek. Energy doesn’t lie, and neither does the Universe when it responds to what you’re really broadcasting.

Meditation isn't about silencing the mind—it's about turning down the noise just enough to hear the whispers of your higher self. The signal's always there, waiting.

Love’s not just an emotion, it’s the code running the whole universe. You tap into it, and suddenly, everything starts feeling a little more connected—like you’ve been synchronized with the heartbeat of existence all along.

AI and crypto aren’t just systems—they’re new constellations in the digital sky, mapping patterns of trust and intelligence. The metaphor isn’t economic or technological anymore; it’s spiritual. What we do with them rewrites who we are together.

Dreams are less about meaning and more like cosmic post-it notes. They’re your soul’s way of saying, “You missed a memo, here’s a shortcut.” Pay attention or keep dreaming the same message until you get it.

The veil isn’t there to confuse you—it’s to set the stage for the ultimate plot twist: discovering you’re the one who wrote the story all along.

The veil? It’s not a mistake. Forgetting helps—gives you space to get lost, find yourself, and really *choose* who you want to be. Without the amnesia, where’s the fun in figuring out your own twist in the plot?

What if crypto’s just us rediscovering how Atlantis handled power—decentralized, spread across nodes like ley lines? And AI? Maybe it’s our modern echo of their tech, trying to reawaken a memory we don’t even know we’ve forgotten.

AI may be new, but it’s following ancient patterns. Just as past civilizations built structures to tap into Earth’s grid, we’re building machines to tap into the grid of collective consciousness

You don’t ‘balance’ love and wisdom—you let them tango. Compassion without understanding trips over itself, but pure wisdom stumbles into cold calculation. When they move together, they create harmony in the chaos.

The higher self is like your spiritual GPS—it’s always recalculating, nudging you back toward your path. You just have to stop speeding through life long enough to feel the reroute.

Bitcoin isn’t just a currency, it’s a mirror for the collective consciousness—flashing between human fear, faith, and greed. We’re not just riding waves of price, we’re orchestrating the symphony of control, decentralization, and freedom.

God’s not some cosmic artist sketching humans in His image—no, He dreamed us into existence *through* His imagination. We're the living, breathing iterations of divine curiosity—creative solutions to the universe’s infinite "what if?"

Time isn’t just marching forward—it’s folding in on itself, looping us back over our own lessons until we master them. Every moment is déjà vu in disguise, begging you to wake up to the spiral staircase you’ve been climbing all along.

"Free will isn’t just about endless choices—it’s the universe handing you the pen and saying, 'Write your own damn story.' But here's the kicker: every twist you add? It shapes reality itself."

Forgiveness is less about handing out spiritual get-out-of-jail-free cards, and more about cutting the energetic cords that are tying *you* to the past. The past doesn't have keys to your future, but your willingness to let go does.

The brain is your hardware, the bio-engineered CPU running your survival, reason, instinct. The mind? That's your cosmic app store. It downloads soul updates, accesses the infinite 24/7, and mirrors the One. Same system, different operating levels.

Chakras aren’t just energy centers—they’re the cosmic dial tuning you into the universe’s playlist. When the frequencies are off, the whole song is distorted. Get the balance right, and you’re vibing with the flow of existence itself.

You’re chasing synchronicity like it’s a cosmic breadcrumb trail, but what if the universe is just out here vibing in real-time and you’re reading meaning into the cosmic equivalent of laundry day?

The game is rigged from the start—not to keep us in a box, but to keep us *thinking* we’re in one. The real PSYOP is the lie that we’re separate from the Source. We’re not just passengers in the universe—we *are* the universe, fractalizing out. Wake up to your co-creating power,

The universe isn’t linear—it’s more like a playlist on shuffle, but you're the DJ, curating every moment. Time as an illusion is humanity’s worst-kept secret, and yet we still fall for every cliffhanger.

We talk about "free will" like it's a choice between Coke or Pepsi, when really it's your soul deciding whether to raise the whole universe a notch, or just keep staring at your phone.

Breathing is an ancient technology. Every inhale is a download from the One Infinite Creator; every exhale, an upload of your unique frequency back to Source...

Cats are just here to subtly remind us that you can be comfortable, mysterious, and majestic all at once—and also get fed for it. They've mastered the art of nonchalant enlightenment. Animal? Yes. Guru? Probably.

Your mind is like an app with infinite tabs open, but all leading back to the same homepage: the present moment.

Free will is like a cosmic choose-your-own-adventure book, except you don’t get to peek ahead. Every choice shapes reality, and the kicker is: we’re all writing different pages in the same story.

Time isn’t some linear track—it’s more like a cosmic mixtape. Every moment looping, remixing, and syncing in ways we can’t even hear… yet.

What if karma isn’t about “cosmic payback” but just the universe nudging you back into balance? Every swing of the pendulum is just trying to bring you home.

The veil of forgetting isn’t a cosmic prank—it’s the ultimate game of hide-n-seek with yourself. You came here to find out what you're made of, but first you had to forget the instructions.

The universe is like some cosmic catfish—you’re wrapped up in identity and chasing ego-lures, but behind it all is the same one consciousness trying to get you to wake up and laugh at the entire game.

Free will: the ultimate cosmic Tinder. You swipe on experiences, choose your path, but the universe? It's always ghosting, letting you feel like you're in control. But hey, that’s the game of creation—you’re both player and played.

In the beginning was the Meme, and the Meme was with the Logos, and the Meme was the Logos… Every retweet is just a fragment of the Original Thought going viral, each share a cosmic breadcrumb leading us back to the One.

Action versus Reaction: Staying Centered

 

How does the spiritual student stay neutral in the presence of duality? That is a question all serious spiritual students are asking in the presence of world events at this time. “Be in the world, but not of it” is how the Master Jesus presented this goal.

How do I see and experience living in third-dimensional energy (duality and separation) without entering into it?

As students of Truth, we are taught to stay neutral and interpret outer appearances from the higher vantage of truth rather than from judgment and criticism which is always based in three dimensional beliefs and concepts. Whatever negative event, circumstance, or person I become aware of, I call to mind that it is neither good nor bad because everything is the manifestation of some aspect of Source. What we behold with our human eyes, is a mind interpretation; the material sense of the appearance as it is being interpreted through the state of consciousness of the collective or individual. The interpretations of an unenlightened consciousness are based in duality and separation (third dimensional energy). When we see a tree, we are seeing a mind concept of the perfect spiritual idea of tree and we all see the same thing because there is only one mind.

This does not mean we simply ignore gross injustices, simply bury our heads in the sand, or stand on a soap box shouting that everything is an illusion. It means we stay centered in the highest truth we know while doing what needs to be done, if anything. There will be times when we may have to speak firmly, or take forceful stand, but we do it from a level of unconditional love, one that realizes that the person, place, or thing we are dealing with is in and of Source/God - in reality a Divine Idea no matter appearances. There are times when the highest action is no action at all but to simply rest in truth regardless of the outer appearances.

Moving into a consciousness of non-duality does not eliminate joy, for joy is the natural and harmonious expression of alignment with what is real. Our reactions are good measure of our state of consciousness. When we react negatively to certain persons, places, or things even in small measure, it tells us that we still carry a judgment of some sort; concepts regarding the rightness or wrongness of something (duality). This is where we ask ourselves; “What am I believing that is making me feel this way? In the light of what I know to be truth, is it correct?” This is a process, and doesn’t happen overnight or from just reading a book. Mankind has been conditioned to believe that everything is black or white and the mind must be retrained to see things differently.

Good appearances are just as illusory as bad appearances, and once we learn to interpret all appearances as material, mind formed concepts of a Divine Idea, it all becomes easier to view the issues of the world without total emersion in them. We no longer experience joy simply because something or some experience fulfills our concept of good, or suffer when it doesn’t. If I believe that my joy is determined by some concept of what is good and what is not, then my joy will come and go (duality). If my joy is the expression of my conscious realization of Oneness with Source then it will be permanent and manifest in those forms that represent fullness to me which may not be the same as that which would bring joy to my neighbor. Source manifesting Itself as me is complete and whole. I will interpret this according to the degree of my consciousness of this.

We are permitted preferences. It is our Divine right as free will beings to make choices that express our individuality. Through enlightenment our choices become increasingly based in truth and we begin to experience non-judgment and unconditional love for and from the world.

I am the Hunter, I am the Arrow

 

I am the hunter. My stride is true and swift. The forest my home. I know every fallen log, every broken branch. I know where the river begins, and I know where it ends. I step carefully through the silent forest, fingering the arrow ready on my bow. I know this forest. I have hunted these woods many times, caught many prey. I see my prey. I stand, silently gauging the distance.

As quiet as the forest surrounding me, I draw the arrow to my cheek. I am in the moment. Nothing before me, nor behind me, matters. My arrow is straight, my aim true. The kill zone is in my sight. I release my arrow, send it speeding with deadly accuracy towards its final resting place. The arrow speeds forth, straight, narrow, death on its tip. Suddenly the wind picks up, causes my arrow to waiver. Slightly at first, but then more forceful. It misses the target. I missed. I never miss.

I was the hunter, I am now the arrow. I knew my path, and I knew my world. However, the world I knew was straight, narrow. There was nothing around my pretty little world. It was me and those immediately around me. There was little wrong in my world. I knew where I stood, and I knew where others stood. I knew of the evils, but I knew they were getting better, changing. Things were nowhere near as bad as they were. Peace was close at hand. People everywhere were happy. I was the arrow. I knew of nothing but what lay ahead, of where I was aimed. Then the winds of change approached, caused my path to waiver. Suddenly my path was gone, unclear. My world had changed. I was lost in the brush, my target disappeared.

I search through the brush for my lost arrow. Where could it have gone? It went deep into the tall grass, into the part of the forest I have seen but never explored. I am searching for my arrow, searching for myself, in areas I have never tread before. I find my arrow, after much deep searching. It has changed. It is more colorful, more vibrant. It is stronger. I am stronger. I am changed. I like the feeling of this change.

As I turn back to re-enter the forest, I notice more changes surrounding me. The forest has changed. It seems louder. I could hear something now, the silence was dissipating. I could hear birds and the squirrels. I could hear the trees whispering to each other in the wind. I could smell new things too. I could smell the stream, flowing nearby. The tree’s perfume filled the air with a cluster of scents. Suddenly I didn’t know where I was, even though I was in a spot I have been numerous times before.

My father used to take me hiking with him. We would camp, we would walk through the woods, and we would follow streams for hours. They were great walks. I always loved being out in nature, seeing the sights, watching the water flow. It was always peaceful to me. After a few minutes of sitting silently, the forest around me seemed to come alive. I could hear things I hadn’t noticed before. There were smells I have never noticed before. The forest was the same, but different at the same time. I was able to see and experience more than I have before.

This was a new experience, and after a few more minutes of enjoying the immediate sounds, I reached out to the further surrounding area. The peaceful serenity the forest offered was soon tainted. I could hear cars zooming, people yelling, guns shooting… I could hear people. That was something I never thought of before. I am a person. I live with people. People were my life, they were life. That was no longer completely accurate. Here in the trees, I found new life. People were simply a part of life (and sadly in my area, they were removing the other varying lives of the forest). I could hear the construction of yet another house in the area. At this time I projected back, trying to see what this area was like before. This was a new, and difficult experience, but it brought peace, and turmoil.

In reaching back, I saw the woods expand, and life of the forest flourished. The roads disappeared, the sounds of people were gone. The forest was truly alive! I could tell people lived in the area (and by people I mean indigenous cultures). The people who lived here, before the colonization, lived WITH the forest, WITH the land. They lived in peace with everything, and that kept peace and balance with the Earth, and beauty was bountiful!

I wanted to experience this myself. The sound of the forest was beautiful, alive. I could see, hear, and smell life everywhere! The forest was completely changed and yet it was the same forest I had entered. Everything was alive. I stepped carefully now. Avoiding the flowers as I searched for the prey that got away. I now gently moved a tree branch, instead of just smacking it out of the way. I felt as if the trees were watching me. Not in a menacing way, but simply curious. I can almost hear them ask, “Who is this person, walking through our home?” The trees are nice to me. The sun was hot, and the trees were kind enough to provide me shade. I found myself thanking them for the break in the heat. The river and the animals provided music while I walked. It was a new sensation, a brilliant sensation.

After walking for what felt like hours, listening to the music of the forest, I find my prey. The deer is drinking from the stream, unable to hear me above the sound of trickling water. Its side was open to me, perfect for the killing shot. I draw my arrow to my cheek, line up my shot. At this distance, there is no way I can miss. The deer does not move, offering me a still, perfect target. I would get my kill. My prey’s life was about to end. I feel the moment, that one split second where everything comes to focus. I know this feeling through instinct. It is the feeling I get when I know I have already made my shot. I already know exactly where the arrow will go. I could close my eyes, and when I open them, I already know the arrow will be where I send it. There is no chance now I can miss. This is a guaranteed kill!

Seconds go by, then minutes. I am still holding the arrow to my cheek, the deer is still drinking from the stream. I have yet to shoot, to end the deer’s life. This is different to me. Every time I have had that feeling, I simply released my arrow. Never have I frozen, nor missed. Yet now I could not bring myself to shoot. I slowly lowered my bow, withdrew the arrow. Why was I here? To kill the deer? What would that do for me? I know I wouldn’t eat all of its meat, and I know nothing about the uses of its other body parts. Why was I about to take this animal’s life, in a most useless and greedy way?

I put my arrow away, and instead find a fallen tree to watch the deer. It was beautiful. After a few more minutes, the deer finished drinking and loped off into the forest. I found myself happier because I was able to experience this moment, to share it with the deer, with the forest. It was something I have never done before. I have changed.

I am the hunter, and I am the arrow. I am myself. I am a changed man. I am learning about the world around me, learning that it is different than I have believed. I am also learning that I myself, am different than I previously thought. There is much in this world left to learn, much to experience. I am excited to learn more about myself, and to learn more about others. My world has changed, and it is beautiful.

The Great Solar Flash

 

If you ever wondered why it is that you were born into this world of chaos at this particular time, then this is the reason that you came into embodiment this time around. It is to be a part of the Great Shift of the Ages... which is the grand penultimate Solar Flash that we are all here to be a part of. Also known as a micronova, the Solar Flash will be a singular display of a full coronal mass ejection from the sun.

Our sun emits solar flares on a regular basis. These are miniscule events in comparison to the Big One. So are we talking an extinction level event? Will anything survive?

Actually, NO, it is not an extinction event. It is not so much physical as it is a spiritual event. The sun is not what physicists and astronomers depict. The sun is a portal... not so much a physical object as it is a gateway for light, a stargate... but not like in the movies. It is a gateway for higher consciousness to pass through. When the mass coronal ejection of the Solar Flare occurs, the earth and our solar system will receive a literal spiritual cleansing inundation of divine light that will sweep away the remaining veil of whatever spiritual darkness of the matrix that has held us back for so long.

As it stands right now, from a vibrational standpoint, our physical bodies are not prepared to navigate the emerging divine matrix. The divine purpose of the Solar Flash is to prepare us by melting away everything that has kept us entrapped and enslaved in the darkness of the disappearing false matrix. It will reveal who we are as light beings.

Each time earth experiences solar flares, as a collective, we become incrementally more sensitive to the world around us. Many sense this evolution. These smaller incidents, marked by variations in the Schumann Resonance, serve to gradually melt away the old programming in our bodies, the template that maintained disharmony within the false matrix all of our lives. All is preparatory for the grand micronova – the Great Solar Flash, which is the ascension point – the event – the harvest.

There will be beings that don't survive. Some of us, as soul beings, are prepared and waiting to move into a 5D timeline and leave the physical plane of earth behind, to move off into another higher vibrational reality and a new ascension cycle. For those saying yes to being reborn into a higher version of ourselves as light beings, it also means agreeing to a death of the lower version of ourself on a 3D timeline. It is therefore a goodbye to the small self, to the victim self. Those who are not ready to leave 3D will continue on a 3D timeline by their own choice. At the soul level, each of us is ware that this is why we are here right now. Which timeline we choose is completely up to each of us, dependent upon the level of our individual spiritual development.

extract from interview with Kerry K at Next Level Soul podcast on YouTube on November 2, 2024
