It clicked on me just now (05-28-25) that the 250-year anniversary of Declaration of Independence is a date integral to the purpose and, accordingly, timing of TQS publication.  

The year 2026 will be marked by a quantum shift from linear to multidimensional definitions of “sovereignty” and “independence.” Going forward, personal self-sovereignty will replace institutional/national and/or blood-line definitions of sovereignty.  Dependence/reliance upon individual inner strength will replace a definition based on separation from external powers on the surface of the Life Wheel. 

NB: The ideal will embrace a collective Unity consciousness, the antithesis of globalism.

============ 

July 4, 1776  is 250th anniversary of Declaration of Independence. As in 1976, 2026 re-vision of independence will mark the start of engagement – not its fulfillment/accomplishment. There’ll be many up and down moments of conflict before final resolution.  i.e. Commitment to quantum upgrades in the values defining independence and sovereignty will mark the beginning of a time of turmoil, with much in the interim to be accomplished to achieve practical implementation. 

I just queried the I Ching: “Please advise regarding consequences of reframing cultural definitions of sovereignty and independence, putting them in multilevel quantum context. The original answer was Hexagram 42. GAIN with one changing line, which reads, “Conflict between helping yourself and helping others is not necessary.” The resulting outcome is Hexagram 25. CLARITY. 

This was spontaneously echoed in the first site that came up when I searched for a definition of self-sovereignty:  https://thecess.com/what-is-self-sovereignty/ 

What I mean by “self-sovereignty“ is taking full responsibility for one’s perspectives, choices, words, actions, and impacts. It is about recognizing our power to shape our own lives and our impact on others as we exert that personal power. 

What I mean by “enlightened self-sovereignty“ takes self-sovereignty a couple of steps further. Enlightened self-sovereignty integrates personal freedom with the wellbeing of society, through aligning our beliefs and actions with universal spiritual principles known as the perennial wisdom or the perennial philosophy. 

This reflects a deeper understanding that our self-sovereignty is inextricably interconnected with the greater good of all. In essence, it is the embodiment of what I call “spiritual self-sovereignty that serves us all.” I view this version of self-sovereignty as essential to humanity’s future because, as I see it, personal freedom without social responsibility is narcissism, and social responsibility without freedom is tyranny.

On a different, important subject. The history that explains separation of church and state. When the universities were originally instituted, the Christian community had fragmented into countless rival religions, quibbling over details, primarily motivated by political agendas. It was this shameful splintering that had to be removed from the sphere of education — not the substance of faith itself. And this is solved and corrected by approaching deeper wisdom — the perennial philosophy — by putting it in quantum context.
