Hush!

When I awoke this morning, a low wail of despair echoed in my ears. A silent, piercing scream.

What is this about?

When I thought on it, I recognized it wasn’t my angst.

The low pitched, agonizing argg-ggg that disturbed my resting state flowed in from the world round me.

I recognized that the I Ching reading I’d done over night wasn’t for me alone. It spoke to humanity at large.

Earlier, at 2:00 a.m. on the 30th, (late night of the powerful New Moon solar eclipse in Aires, early morning of the ingress of Neptune into Aires), in black ink I wrote into my journal, “Agitated. Urgent sense of crisis and need to sedate, though meds would be counterproductive. Is this astrologically induced? What’s going on with me? What’s the best way to to adjust? Please advise. With humble thanks.”

The answer came back, Hexagram 64, FINISH, with changing lines in the second and fifth places, resulting in the outcome of Hexagram 12, STANDSTILL, with the notations in my well-worn book, “withdraw,” “observer,” and “keep distance”.

Hexagram 64 looks like this:

That would make perfect sense. Planets are exiting the last degrees of Pisces, the 12th house ruled by the water-sign, Neptune. They’re now set to begin a new cycle in the radically different first house of the Mars-ruled fire-sign, Aires.

Neptune is the sign of spirituality, inspiration and creativity in the higher octave, as well as addiction, delusion and deception in the lower octave. It’s moving into Aires, where in the higher octave it will produce a generation of spiritual warriors, but in the lower, those susceptible to fanaticism, violence and self-undoing.

A massive shift is being initiated and magnified by this extraordinarily powerful New Moon eclipse with Sun and Moon conjunct in Aires. Humanity as a whole is experiencing this massive change as traumatic.

—————-

The advice of the changing line in the second place reads, “You may be ready before others are. Adjust your speed.” When the advice is heeded, it results in Hexagram 35, IMPROVEMENT, which warns “Avoid pessimism.”

———————

The advice of the changing line in the fifth place reads, “Be a bright light to others. Encourage and inspire them.” When heeded, it changes to Hexagram 6, CONFLICT. In this context, I understand that serving as an instrument of light has the potential to help resolve polarizing conflicts.

———————-

Combined, the changing lines result in the final outcome of Hexagram 12, which looks like this:

This outcome further emphasizes the current dynamic of polarization and conflict, with the warning not to engage, but rather to focus inwards (and upwards) for the duration, while waiting for the time pass.

Similarly, astrologer Pam Gregory often recommends distancing from the effects of both the astral transits themselves and the often unconscious, chaotic human reactions thereto. She tells her viewers to “stay on your eagle’s perch.”

For today, I went to my black, spiral-bound sketchbook and at the top of a fresh page in all caps in red ink, wrote, SCREAM.

Then, in black ink, I drew a line down the center of the page, with branches stemming out from both sides, labeling familiar stress-filled conflicts along its path.

At the top right, I labeled a branch, “Corruption exposed.” Opposite, a line labeled “Fraud and Waste.” (And in parens, “DOGE to the rescue.”) Those on one side of the coin are experiencing stress caused by new awareness of corruption. On the opposite side of the coin are the thousands of former government employees and their dependents, in despair after massive firings, facing an uncertain future.

On another branch, I noted “Medical malpractice, food poisoning, increased disease” modified by “skyrocketing cases of autism, vaccine injuries, cancer, diabetes, depression and suicide.” (And in parens, “MAHA to the rescue.”)

And on it went. Massive deportation of illegals, with trauma experienced by sanctuary city supporters, victims of illegals’ crimes, deportees, and law enforcers alike. Wars — Russia vs. Ukraine, Israel vs. Hamas & Iran. Not to mention massive earthquakes, like the one in Baghdad, where more than 400 people were killed in Iran when a magnitude 7.3 earthquake jolted the country,

So many kinds of conflict being broadcast into the airwaves around the globe.

In case you’re interested, I’ll share here my go-to practice for shielding from negative vibrations poisoning the air: It comes from kabbalah practices: meditating on Archangel Metatron’s cube, visualized as a personal Merkabah of protection, encircled by layers of Christ Consciousness, mirrored shielding and angelic abundance.

Next I looked further for personal healing solutions to this outcry of distress. Following the I Ching‘s advice to look higher, transcending conflict, I looked to the angels who, when one keeps still, are found to be ever-present, hovering around humanity, guiding, strengthening and consoling all who choose to pay attention.

In this case, I chose three cards from Kyle Gray’s The 22 Archangels Oracle deck. to answer my query as to how best adjust to massive endings and shift to radically new beginnings. I modified the conflict-tree by adding their messages in green ink, contrasting with the black.

The three cards that came out were equally relevant. First was Archangel Azrael: Transcendence. “His energy is like that of the phoenix. He helps us rise out of the ashes of our challenges to be reborn and renewed. . . You may be faced with fear and uncertainty, not knowing what the next stage is, but there are plenty of doors opening and opportunities being presented to you. Trust in yourself and your higher powers.”

So in this case, Hexagram 64, FINISH, signifies the end of a cycle. It’s not extinction, but rather an upgrade.

The second card drawn was Daniel: Divine Discernment. “When you take the first step, the next step will become more apparent. Step by step, the divine is guiding you, so trust in your ability to to assess the situation and make a judgment. The angels are helping you with it now.”

The third, Archangel Raphael: Clarity of Vision. “Be willing to see things differently to initiate healing and experience wholeness. . . . Trust in the divine plan that is unfolding before you. If you have health concerns at this time, the angels are guiding you to be more open to information, feedback and support.”

There it is: the way out of madness. Keep still. Rise above conflict: seek and follow ever-available angelic guidance.

In turquoise ink, beneath the conflict-tree, I wrote, “The world is being shaken by re-birth pains. The old is disappearing. However awful it now seems, the new will eventually be much better. The familiar is mourned. The unknown is feared. But life seems darkest just before the dawn of a new day.

In fact, as astrologers and philosophers assure us: a New Earth.

Here’s WHY!

I’ve been working with Kyle Gray’s oracle decks, most notably the one that seems to me to sum up the wisdom of the rest. It’s called Raise Your Vibration Oracle.

Here’s are sample cards from his deck:

As Einstein, my man, told us:

Human emotions, positive and negative, each have a place on the chakra grid that corresponds roughly with David R. Hawkins’ Scale of Consciousness. It is the sacred responsibility of each one of us to choose our location wisely, with every breath.

It’s been a struggle for me, most recently, as all seems lost forever and effort pointless.

So here’s the human logic and angelic blessing — the benefit and necessity — of daily spiritual practices to raise one’s vibration.

On the downward spiraling path, I’ve encountered sloth and apathy. Pessimism, my ancient adversary. Doubt and despair. Resistance and stubbornness. Contrary opposition. Self-pity.

I argue with my muse: “Why bother to write. My teacher, OA, advised against it. He warned against casting pearls before swine.” Why bother???

Lost in grief. Loneliness. Futility. Without his physical presence on earth, I have no reason to live.

But then, I shift gears. Focus upwards.

I remember OA’s example. He walked on broken feet, bones crushed in a military accident. Doctors declared he’d never walk again. To them he said, “Fooey!” And he walked — albeit at a terrible price.

How did he do it? By shifting his focus, raising his vibration higher, living above the pain. That is the example I must choose to follow.

Remember why I write. Destiny. My soul’s calling.

My purpose is and always has been to serve. And for every will, a WAY will surely, in God’s time, follow.

I choose to serve in honor of his memory — that a soul as great as OA once walked the earth, to the perpetuate his teachings, which may well prove essential to human survival.

I choose to shift my focus, raise my vibration from self-pity to compassion for humans suffering in unnecessary ignorance, and to live in hope for the far better future which is possible NOW.

So I remind myself:

DO the WORK.

ANGELS GUIDE,

BUT it is up to ME

to FOLLOW THROUGH!

JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP. 

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO MOVE, 

the next and the next 

will follow naturally, 

JOYFULLY. 

NOTE TO SELF: Choose Wisely!

The Ultimate Solution

Here is the ultimate solution to all humanity’s ills, profoundly simple yet infinitely vast.

It can be stated as a basic axiom from which logical corollaries follow.

AXIOM: What ultimately motivates each and every human (what we all share in common) is an innate thirst for Divine Connection. From this single aspiration flows a myriad of extensions/expressions/aspects/facets of this primary impulse. Variations include our intentions, longings, desires, appetites, attachments, impulses, cravings and addictions.

COROLLARY: In the context of the Quantum Life Wheel, the speediest, most effective and complete way to fulfill the purpose of life is to cut to the chase. Link and integrate, reconcile and harmonize all ephemeral, secondary desires in order to return to the Center. Intentionally, consciously reconnect with the eternal, creative Source of Life, from which all blessings flow.

The Quantum Life Wheel looks like this:

COROLLARY: Every human, also made in this image of God, is a microcosmic mirror of the quantum macrocosm.

In the context of the subtle energy centers, life force (chi, prana, energy) flows downwards along the spine from the crown center to root chakra. It then returns up the same pathway, linking human physiology with the Creative Source of life. This flow is pictured in images of Mercury’s staff — the Caduseus. It recurs in ancient healing traditions. It’s found both in Greek mythology and in modern medicine. It looks like this:

COROLLARY: In the Vedic tradition, the energy centers are associated with levels of consciousness, human development, emotional states, physical anatomy, colors, sounds, symbols and much more. This energy pathway looks like this:

A short list of the impulses, wants and needs associated with each of the major energy centers includes:

Crown: Divine Connection. Once unity with Source is established and sustained, satisfaction, contentment, joy and fulfillment that encompasses all else is experienced.

3rd eye: Seeking for intuitive guidance, telepathic communication.

Throat: Search for wisdom, information, understanding.

Heart: Desire to express and receive kindness, compassionate becaring, friendship.

Solar Plexus: Longing for community and acceptance, control, organizational power, wealth.

Sacral: Lust for physical, sensory stimulation, fun — touch.

Root: Craving for safety, security, stability.

COROLLARY: The resonance between the individual and the whole of creation looks like this:

COROLLARY: Breathing and meditative practices which guide and control the life force along the spinal pathway, fueling the subtle energy centers, are a primary means of linking the chakras to achieve self-mastery, inner peace and fulfillment. Primary amongst them is microcosmic breathing, which is imaged like this:

COROLLARY: The creative arts are an important adjunct of the healing arts. When intentionally employed to stimulate and harmonize the senses, linking them with the higher mind, music, dance, drama, painting, architecture, and sculpture serve to remind us of our origins and deeply held values.

Even the venerable Chinese I Ching, consulted by wisdom-seekers for over 8,000 years, acknowledges the positive power of the arts:

Sufi sages claim that the practice of inspired music is the quickest, most enjoyable path to enlightenment. The scales of ancient ragas and modern solfeggio music employ skillfully engineered sound frequencies to induce consciousness-raising meditative states, as well as to heal disease and dispel negative forces in the environment. All 7 Chakras Healing Meditation Music (a long-standing personal favorite) is but one example of the countless available sound videos suited to every season and purpose under heaven.

Conversely, harsh, strident sounds and sights wreak havoc on the nervous system.

COROLLARY: All efforts to establish peace, prosperity and well-being in the world begin with first attaining them within. As within, so without.

Searching on the surface, in the external world, or in relationships with others is futile. Don’t look for lasting, positive change and success (however personally defined) in places where none exist.

Efforts to establish peace at home, in the community and larger world depend upon inner balance and harmony first being achieved within a critical mass of individuals sufficient to tip the balance in favor of a transformational global paradigm shift.

COROLLARY: Eventual loss of transient manifestations, however sublime, is inevitable. By their very nature, they’re temporary. To the extent that painful loss pushes us back to the primary motivation — divine connection with the unfailing, eternal Source — this is a blessings in disguise

Complicated, ego-driven wordy metaphysics just muddy the waters. Don’t layer simple truths with hocus pocus, flowery words and intellectual theories, authoritarian religions and repetitious rituals. Better is just to do the work. Stick to the basics. Live life humbly, with integrity, in the spirit of service to the greatest good for the greatest number.

Receiving this knowing, putting it into words and pictures, is NOT enough. Blessings, attainment, results require implementation through consistent ACTION: Follow-through.

Nothing More Powerful

This will stand as the premise of Preface to The Quantum Solution:

And this is its activating principle:

Bottom line: Change is a matter of motivation.


Expanding on Buckminster Fuller’s call for a tool which facilitates change, two ancient tools of galactic origin dating back to last golden age should be acknowledged here. The Quantum Paradigm was derived as a result of working with them. Now, at this nadir Kali Yuga point in time, the Life Wheel can be used as a springboard facilitating the expansion and return of collective thinking upwards again.

The first set of tools comes out of India, written in Sanskrit (the Vedas, Upanishads and Patanjali Sutras). The second is the Chinese I Ching.

Though without the language of modern physics, intuitive awareness of the universal structure of the quantum Life Wheel is inherent in both. They are each used to take the ordinary mind through the ever deeper stages of material experience, energy, and light to experience the innermost Source of Creation.

At this fallen state in human history, we can use the quantum Life Wheel to conceptualize the process of stilling the mind, and then mastering the energy field to achieve increasingly more still, more elevated states of consciousness and then returning once again, completing the infinity loop to enrich daily experience with what gained along the path.

Be Not Afraid

It’s as simple as breathing in and out.

It’s natural, necessary and basic — life sustaining.

The infinity symbol shown below links the surface with the center of the Quantum Life Wheel. It images the expansion and contraction of the creative life process, the perpetual path of extension from and return to Source.

In 3D reality (theology and cosmology both Eastern and Western), the outward path of extension from Source is associated with the dynamic of yang energy — the masculine. The inward path of return to Source is associated with yin — female energy.

No value adheres to the pairs of interdependent, interactive opposites as they express throughout nature and in science — for example, in the pulsing rhythm of AC-DC electricity and the 0-1 components of binary-digital computer code. It’s simply the Way it IS.

But the currently dominant empirical science paradigm has taken humanity on a left-hand turn towards self-destruction. The polarities of nature, taken literally — white and black, especially male and female — have wrongfully taken on judgmental connotations. Good or bad. Superior versus inferior.

The cultural end-result is fear, rejection and abuse of what is, in fact, simply yin — the necessary complement of yang. Offspring of this confusion includes mental/emotional, right-left brain imbalance on the personal level and gender conflict in human relationships: the war between the sexes.

Consequences begin with disrespect, abuse and rationalized exploitation of women. They include resistance to introspection and the quieting discipline of meditation as a threat to untamed ego. They escalate into a generalized resistance to change — and ultimately, to fear of death itself.

Let’s unpack this unnecessary, hurtful dilemma and its common sense, positive solutions.

Here’s the problem: Because the feminine principle of yin and the inward-directed dynamic of return to Source is distorted as if bad (dangerous), as if fearful and to be avoided, in this incomplete paradigm, there’s no way to recognize/articulate much less experience/actualize the fullness and continuity of life — the pattern of continuous, infinite flow of energy/breath/attention inwards followed by outward extension — the process of regeneration, renewal and perpetuation on every scale of magnitude, from the individual to organizations, up to civilizations: the Christlike example of death and resurrection.

When we operate on a false paradigm which denies the continuous flow from one lifetime to the next, as natural as breathing in and out, then physical death is seen out of proportion, as if not only the release of one’s immediate physical vehicle, but also the extinction of the soul, of consciousness itself. Consequences of this distorted belief are not good for well-being on any level — implications of which deserve thorough analysis/understanding.

Thankfully, the common sense quantum solution remedies unnatural fears and conflicts, returning humanity to the perennial philosophy inherent in the world’s enduring traditions. Let’s restore awareness, trust and reverence for the inward-traveling yin dynamic, without which we forfeit the ultimate blessing: conscious connection with Source.

The corrective spin-offs of operating in every area of life on the complete and correct Quantum Paradigm include restored appreciation and respect for “mother” nature (RFK Jr.’s forte), for women in general, for the emotional intelligence skills gained and cultivated by inward introspection, greater mental/emotional health, improved relationships across the board . . . you name it. The list goes on.


01-07-25

In this morning’s musings, two ideas came to me as upgrades to TQS. They might also be actionable NOW.

First, the Quantum Paradigm concept is exactly the tool Trump needs to create public readiness for introduction to & acceptance of ETs not only being “out there,” but already (and always) among us — in fact, a part of our genetic heritage. (Reportedly, he’s been well aware for a long time, but withheld acknowledgement due to perceived lack of readiness.)

Second, this concept validates his commitment to stopping never-ending wars. Among other things, it supports bringing peace between Christians and Muslims (in fact, amongst humanity as a whole) as being inherently ONE at the level of quantum reality. Hardliners might resist, but generations coming up will likely be quick to adjust and adapt . . . gladly so.

The actionable element is that this concept should be put in the hands of policy makers who would see the pragmatic applications and reap potential benefits sooner rather than later.   All best!

In this light, today’s answer to your earlier query, “Anyone you would recommend to help Trump change the world?”  would be, not me per se, but the QP concept. 

The Quantum Upside

It’s often argued by theologians that the most deadly, dangerous and potent of Satan’s lies is the one that evil doesn’t exist. It’s merely a myth, the exaggeration of a primitive, paranoid mind.

But it does.

In spades, as current events stand in testimony. The massacre of innocents crowding New Orleans streets to celebrate the hope of a New Year, drunkenly oblivious to potential danger? What more proof does an unthinking, programmed public require?

It’s the Icing on the cake of a year filled with ongoing exposure of the corruption and capture of institutions entrusted with public well-being, virtually systematically, across the board.

Watch whistle blower interviews on Tucker Carlson’s network for a sample of the highlights.

But again, in duality, if you care to take a look, there’s a hidden, opposite and equal side to every coin.

Namely this. We each and every one of us also have hidden undiscovered depths of greatness buried deep beneath the obscuring surface of our flawed lives.

No matter how forgotten, even denied, the presence of a godlike center at the eternal core of our original pattern resides unchanged, waiting to radiate through and proclaim its presence — to demonstrate its overwhelming power and predominance when the quantum time arrives.

Which it will.

Amen

Re-VISION

On the morning of December 16th, as I often do, I queried the Book of Change, asking what I should be aware of NOW. Its answer puzzled me greatly.

So I set it aside and moved on with my day. Only then came the Aha!

Following that, a flood of implications washed over me, each hastily jotted into my journal to capture the vision while still fresh.

What follows is the record of that process.

As an aside, it reminded me of conversations with my Ed Admin thesis advisor, Howard Wakefield, way back when. After being stymied by his colleagues, who rejected my topic of choice (the origin and future of universities), I was stuck as to what to do next — until the breakthrough moment when the puzzle pieces finally assembled and fell into place.

He was delighted. An avid sportsman, he compared the process to a hound circling the ground, sniffing to get the scent. Once it honed in, off it charged. No stopping it.

That’s what writing The Quantum Solution has been like. The timing felt off. Something seemed missing. Until things finally clicked. And now, the necessary re-vision is clear.

The hexagram received was this:

Aha! Thanks to Trump’s new approach to organization, THIS will be the quantum model of federal government going forward.

Picture it this way: a wise leader at the center of the Life Wheel. Clear and fair rules at the c=light level. Mutual respect and trust at the middle, e=energy level. And sincere self-sacrifice at the m=mass surface of tangible, material results.

This model allows for wheel-like organization with sectors like pie slices radiating out from the center. Many qualified leaders are each given responsibility for a particular sector, each contributing their unique gifts, strengths and abilities, but acting cooperatively, unified by central core values and common goals.

With this in mind, I’d just finished listening to former and future Trump staffer Sebastian Gorke’s podcast. He repeatedly referred to the political movement now afoot as MAGA — Make America Great Again.

That didn’t sit right with me. For one thing, in the Trump 2.0 administration, the definition of “great” will be much expanded, resulting in an America even greater than before.

Going forward, “great” will include both quantitative and deeper qualitative dimensions. Yes, it will be great again in terms of material wealth, prosperity and political power on the m=mass level. But in addition, It will include a deeper commitment to American values. It will honor ethical integrity and bring a metaphysical dimension to what “integrity” means. This bodes a re-vision of the Constitution, bringing it into conscious alignment with quantum dynamics.

Repeatedly coming back from adversity, DJT has been likened to a phoenix, rising above apparent defeat to prevail, setting an example of resilience and self-transcendence for the rest of us to follow: the quantum Phoenix Response.

However, keep in mind. This archetypal dynamic recurs throughout history, common to all humanity, not just one nation or place in time.

Be that as it may, given that Trump is assembling a team along quantum lines, it seems more appropriate than ever to call the emerging organization the Unity Party. During Trump 1.0, he operated as the single star in the sky. He knows better now, assembling about him a full constellation of stars, creating a bigger, cohesive picture in the sky.

So. To be fully successful, from the onset of the Trump 2.0 administration, it will be extraordinarily helpful for its members to be aware of the emerging underlying shift to the Quantum Paradigm.

This includes not only internal but external dynamics as well. Because, by extension, the Quantum Life Wheel dynamic operates on every scale of magnitude. It serves equally well as an appropriate model for international relations. Recognition/acceptance of all life being ONE at the center allows for mutual respect and harmonious, cooperative relationships across the globe, free from the fragmenting dynamics of interference and aggression inherent in the old, obsolete control and dominance, either/or, invasion, take-over and exploitation model.

The international piece will take time to evolve, as the next generation of leaders across the world comes naturally in to place, affected in their views both by Trump’s carrot & stick example, as well as by education along quantum lines facilitated by internet access.

DISGUISED BUT INVALUABLE BLESSINGS

While pro-Trump patriots are filled with joy and hope for the future, consider on balance the opposite side of the coin. DC swamp rats are experiencing stone cold dread, knowing full well that “interesting” times lie ahead for them. As Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville tells Sebastian, “The rats are running for the hills.”

But — potentially — something positive if unforeseen is in store for them as well.

For quantum wisdom has much to say about the upsides of loss. When status and lifestyle suddenly disappear, ignorant materialists who’ve lived selfish lives exclusively on the surface of the Quantum Life Wheel have the option of a better response than despairing of life and jumping off the top of a skyscraper.

Because all is not lost. When surface comforts disappear, access to formerly untapped inner strength found in the e=energy middle level of the Life Wheel emerges. Deeper still, forgotten connection with wisdom emanating from the c=light level can arise to be reclaimed.

In two different oracle decks, medium, teacher and author James Van Praagh addresses this possibility. In The Soul’s Journey, he says about ADVERSITY:

Challenges are the best way to learn. No one ever said that life was going to be easy. Obstacles are presented to you so that you may overcome them.

Ouch!

I find that bit harsh. (Aren’t there are better, easier ways to learn?)

Perhaps. Softening his view, in Messages from the Guides he advises to ACCEPT STRUGGLES AS LESSONS:

Once you accept that the hardships that you encounter are merely set before you in order for you to learn and evolve, then your journey here will become much easier.

Bottom line. Changes coming down the pike don’t have to be an either/or experience. Depending on one’s chosen point of view, they have the potential to yield soft-landing win-win results for everyone across the board.

In this vein, Lao Tze’s Tao Te Ching, a world-loved off-shoot of I Ching wisdom, adds a merciful perspective to future potentials. In essence, whatever one’s past mistakes, it’s never to late to change for the better.

As OA encouraged students who despaired that their lives were hopelessly messed up, “God don’t make no junk.”

In other words, no matter how enmeshed in conflict on the m=mass surface level; no matter how traumatized at the e=energy level with PTSD and the full range of negative emotions, the essential True Self of every individual remains unaffected: pure and eternally hopeful.

Each and everyone of us is made in the image of God the Creator. We each retain the innermost potential to restore (with intention and determined effort) our unchanging quantum pattern to its original wholeness. It remains our inalienable birthright.

Further, in accordance with the Way of the merciful Tao, Trump et. al. will wisely be focused on and committed to unifying and restoring harmony across the board. Their followers can trust that in humility, quantum leaders know to forsake Judgment and retribution, which belong exclusively to God.

In his speech at Charlie Kirk’s Arizona Turning Point USA AmericaFest in December 2024, President Elect Trump states this view clearly:

It was a beautiful thing to watch. They just said, ‘We lost.’ And we want to try bringing everybody together. We’re going to really give it a shot. The thing that brings people together is victory.  (56:33)

In repeatedly expressing this inclusive attitude of reconciliation, may DJT serve as a role model for future world leaders to follow. For this is the path of the genuine, long-lasting peace and good-will on Earth of which the angels sang on Christmas night.

Hope Springs Eternal

I just woke up clinging to the wisps of a healing dream.

In it, I was the member of dance troupe, assigned as one of eight mourners to express in ritual movement the anguish of overwhelming loss and bottomless grief.

It took place during an earlier time, and located in China, where mourners wear white.

Personally, it called for releasing stagnant, long-buried and fiercely resisted grief through self-honesty, acceptance and the flow of physical movement. It was the healing antidote to abrupt loss of lifestyle and all I loved, gone in a flash. Loving connection. Home. Goofy dogs.

Shock. Disbelief. Stunned. Lost.

I share my therapeutic dream here because it seems to resonate with the general mood of the times. So many across the planet are going through tragic upheavals, both natural and man-made. Monster hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. Beloved family members lost to unnecessary illness, drug overdose and outright suicide. Violence in city streets and on the Southern border. Hate-driven military attacks and counterattacks. For Americans, the loss of the country we believed in and only thought we knew.

Add your own personal story to the list.

To help in processing the message of my dream, I turned to my go-to, the I Ching, the venerable Chinese Book of Change. I humbly asked to understand how best to cope with personal loss — to release and heal from debilitating grief.

The answer received was Hexagram 8, UNITY, modified by changing lines in the bottom and top places, resulting in the final outcome of Hexagram 58, INSPIRATION.

The original response looks like this:

Balance the experience of catastrophic loss by seeking refuge in the timeless, that which never changes. By remembering that love is eternal. Universal life encompasses and transforms immediate loss with compassion. Ultimately, hope springs eternal. On the far side of seeming abandonment and isolation is the resource and comfort of the larger human community.

The newly evolving Unity Party is a prime example of hope for the future rising from the ashes of the current chaotic U.S. political mess.

The advice of the changing line in the bottom place reads, “People are attracted to others who are sincere. Be honest.”

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been accused more than once of being stoic, stonewalling in denial, refusing to honestly, openly admit what I’m feeling. Big mistake. I’m being reminded here that the better, natural way to connect with worthy friends is to be honest with myself and others as the doorway to community.

When this advice is heeded, it changes to Hexagram 3, PROBLEMS, which reads in pertinent part: “Seek help from people whose ideas and methods can help to create inner and outer stability.”

Moving on, the advice of the changing line in the top place reads, “Without proper leadership, any efforts to organize won’t work out.”

Being adrift and alone during time of crisis is bad enough. What’s worse, however, is having to rely on untrustworthy leaders. This is confirmed by the resulting Hexagram 20, AWARENESS, which advises: “Avoid unnatural leaders.”

CONCLUSION: The combined changing lines result in the final outcome of Hexagram 58, which looks like this:

Starting from UNITY, moving through the states of self-honesty and then seeking aware, trustworthy leadership, we arrive at INSPIRATION which gives the courage to continue.

Bonkers

Astrologer Steve Judd calls this week’s Aquarius full Moon the most BONKERS time of the year.

It’s called CRAZY. It’s called SHOCKING. Exciting. Intense. The list goes on. MONSTER MOON! TAKE COVER! . It’s declared that THE BLUE SUPER MOON On August 19th Will Change Everything. A tarot card readers sees FULL MOON ATTACKS⚡️💥GOD IS FED UP With Your Enemies! NO MERCY! INSTANT DEVESTATING KARMA!

The list goes on.

Bottom line: Monday the 19th of August and thereabouts would be the LAST time anyone would choose to travel. Adding to the mix, Mercury retrograde is conjunct the Sun, opposing the Moon. Anything that can will go wrong. Astrology-savvy folks would NEVER travel or agree to schedule an important meeting at that time. Or at the very least, they’d make contingency plans, anticipating worst case scenarios.

Bottom line: it shouldn’t come as a surprise that RFK Jr. missed a plane, was late to a legal hearing on ballot access, and set back by a hostile judge who denied his hearing due to his late appearance.

It helps to be in the know. Conversely . . .

On a personal level, the full moon Jupiter/Mars conjunction in Gemini square to Saturn in Pisces sits directly on my natal Uranus. Were I to be surprised and caught off guard by predictable heart palpitations and rush to the emergency room, rather than practicing deep breathing as I wait for the time to pass, I’d no doubt be put on blood pressure meds and stuck taking them for the rest of my life.

Just saying.

Elections – The Law of Diminishing Returns

It seems to me that 1) events are closing in from all sides to pressure the RFK Jr. campaign to change course. It also seems that 2) the hand of a higher power is at work, so that globalists have unwittingly outsmarted themselves, to the campaign’s long-term benefit . . . and ours.

Here I’ll explain what I mean by this, and then look to the I Ching for feedback.

Bottom line, the idea Nicole Shanahan expresses of joining forces to create a Unity Party — something different and better then just the Republican machine — has wonderful potential!

First, events are closing in from all sides to pressure the RFK Jr. campaign to change course. On one hand, financially draining lawfare overseen by biased judges is being waged to squeeze Kennedy off the ballot in numerous states. On the other, lies spewed at the DNC are drawing attention to the stark contrast between Trump and Harris. Shanahan emphasizes that, whatever mistakes Trump may have made during his presidency, he is basically sincere. His opponents are the extreme opposite. The consequences tipping the electoral balance in favor of a Harris (Obama-driven) presidency are becoming too appallingly dangerous to risk.

Second, the hand of a higher power is at work. Globalists have unwittingly outsmarted themselves, to Kennedy’s long-term benefit . . . and ours. By fighting a war of attrition rather than of ideas, Democrats have set the natural law of diminishing returns in motion. By exhausting Kennedy financially, not to mention humanly, they might well unintentionally push him into Trump’s camp. Though up to the present time, the value and benefits of running separately have been great, they’re now maxed out.

Briefly put, at this point, cooperation of both camps could well produce results above and beyond the sum of their separate parts. Being obliged to change course would not be, as it might seem, a defeat, but a blessing in disguise.

I queried the Book of Change, asking “What is the wisdom and potential outcome of the Kennedy-Shanahan team joining forces with Trump?”

The original answer was Hexagram 1, CREATIVE POWER, with changing lines in the second and third places, resulting in the final outcome of Hexagram 25, CLARITY.

The fundamental situation looks like this:

To my mind, this reading confirms my initial sense that a higher power is at work, moving circumstances to a destined, preordained outcome. “Unity is Power!”

But the underlying situation is fluid, with potentials for dynamic change. The advice of the changing line in the second place reads, “The example of creative friends gives inspiration. Seek worthy company.”

In this case, the creative example might come from Shanahan and Kennedy, adjusting to pressure by opting to create a Unity Party. As to who is the worthy company might be, between Harris and Trump, Trump is the clear choice!

When the advice is heeded, it results in Hexagram 13, COMMUNITY, which reads:

Commitment to COMMUNITY is a necessary part of individual growth. Choose leaders who can express common goals with clarity. They will know how to assign work according to ability so that all prosper. In the harmonious community, Creative Power expresses through the skillful work of individuals. Avoid all selfishness.

Moving on, the advice of the changing line in the third place reads, “Conserve your energy. Use it to benefit yourself and others.” This would seem to address the law of diminishing returns, and the value of adjusting accordingly. When the advice is heeded, it results in Hexagram 10, CONDUCT, which reads:

In stressful situations, your CONDUCT will determine the outcome of your efforts. Do not let negative or unpleasant people affect your own balance. Respond to the demands of others according to the quality of their motives rather than acting impulsively. Play by the rules of the game. Avoid becoming emotional.

The combined result of the changing lines produces the final outcome which looks like this:

At first glance, I conclude that letting go of attachment to the initial plan to win the election outright is the intuitively correct and ultimately beneficial result of going with the flow in a difficult situation.

There you go.

Go with the Flow of the Future

In a Next Level Soul Podcast, host Alex Farrari speaks with Craig Hamilton-Parker: UK’s MOST ACCURATE Psychic PREDICTS Future of the USA/Europe! BRACE YOURSELF.

The contents of this conversation bear striking resemblance to that of The Quantum Solution: What the Ancients Knew About Our POSSIBLE Future. It’s almost as if Craig foresees the emergence of the Quantum Paradigm embodied in the archetypal Life Wheel — creating a readiness for the book.

Craig describes the current times as being the emergence from the darkness of the Kali Yuga. We’re going through a challenging but hopeful paradigm shift that, in the long run, will reset the historical clock as citizens of Earth establish the planet’s place among its intergalactic neighbors.

Alex and Craig agree from personal experience that times of major transition are often unnecessarily painful, primarily because of fear and resistance brought to immanent change, no matter how necessary or ultimately beneficial. Fear, however, invites danger. And resistance, ultimately, is futile. Going with the flow rather than exhausting one’s energies in upstream resistance allows for the possibility of steering the ship as it flows downstream.

They agree that an optimal response to change requires fearlessness . . . having faced and overcome culturally conditioned, unnatural fear of death. Near death experiences are one way that the illusion of extinction is dispelled. Spiritual beliefs fortify inner strength and faith when facing unknowns.


Craig Hamilton-Parker: I feel that something’s going to happen. There’s going to be something huge in the world that’s going to happen on a spiritual level. I don’t think of it as a second-coming type of thing. I see it as multiple people incarnating in the world simultaneously in a way that would change everything. 

I believe it’s on its way. It might even be here already. But I have a very very strong feeling about this. This will bridge the terrible crisis we are in at the moment — a crisis of not knowing who we are. A crisis of weakness that comes through endless looking at screens and internets. A loss of our sense of personal identity or loss of sense of national identities and undermining by so many negative forces. 

We’ve got to pull ourselves out of it. All the great flowerings in history when there’s been a spiritual awakening have been at times like this, when there’s been a sense of something that’s not quite right. Buddhism came when Hinduism was in a terrible state and there was conflict within India. Jesus came in at the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire. 

If you look at any great flowering of awakening, it always comes at a time of great difficulty. This is the darkness before the dawn. Out of this time is going to come something very very special. It’s going to be a superb time to live in.

, , , we’ve got to start thinking more in terms of humanity [not just “What’s in it for me?”]. If there is a renaissance of consciousness and renaissance of the arts which often comes with a renaissance of consciousness — many of these problems will be easily solved because more and more people will be thinking in a different way.

. . . First and foremost, seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else will be added on to it. As another way of looking at it, when we put our spiritual awakening at the top of the agenda, it compels us to want to help others. And being compelled to want to help others, we also influence society. 

——————-

Craig Hamilton-Parker: There’s been so much complacency. So much division. So much lack of cultural identity. There’s been huge shifts to the right wing in Italy. There’s a reaction against a lot of immigration coming into countries. Huge amounts, that so that people can’t integrate. So you get multiple societies within the society. We start to get ghettos again. 

So I think the big question that we’re all going to have for the future is How Can We Find Unity Within Diversity? We have new peoples in our countries. We have divisions of thought between countries. There’s going to be these divisions. And it’s really important that we find some way of finding Unity in Diversity.

[Here is one of numerous variations on the quantum Life Wheel depicting Unity at the central hub of the wheel with spokes radiating out in all directions, manifesting diversity on the ephemeral surface.]

We’ve got to start looking for our commonalities. We’ve got to start looking for what is it that makes us all human. We’ve got to start thinking, we’re spirits in body. That’s it. We’re all spirit. We’re all the same. So the answer has to come from a spiritual standpoint. The only way we can bridge these things is through spirituality. 


Craig Hamilton-Parker: It’s going to be a struggle. And it’s how we approach it, isn’t it. It’s how we live it. I think the big mistake we make – we’ve got to live from the inside out, not the outside in. 

We’re all living our lives as if that’s where it is — it’s out there [on the surface of the quantum Life Wheel]. My happiness is out there. My love is out there. My people I want — everything’s out there. That’s where we’ve fallen victim.  

If we can live from the inside, we’re balanced within ourselves. We’re centered within ourselves. We’re at peace within ourselves. We’re happy and content within ourselves. Then all the things in the outside aren’t going to draw us out quite so much. We’re not going to fall victim to illusion all the time. 

So we’ve got to live from the inside. If each person can do that, then you’ll walk through this life in safety. 

. . . keep the attention on yourself, on the spirit, on the inner self, on the goodness within you, on the love that you can give to the world. Think what you can do for it. When more of us become focused like that — and you don’t need many — it changes the balance of everything.


Craig Hamilton-Parker: I think we will rethink money and work. It could be within the next ten years that we see a big reversal of things and a scramble to get things right again. These changes often can lead to something better. We have to go through rebirths all the time [the Phoenix Response]. 

People say, “We’re not going to make it.” But we’ve survived ice ages. We’ve survived the dinosaurs. We’ve evolved more than most creatures on earth. We’ve managed to do it in the past. I’m sure we’ll do it again. 

Consciousness is something special. Consciousness is not something held in the body. This whole universe is here for this. This is what it’s all about. Consciousness is the most important thing in the universe.  

And consciousness is not going to be wiped out. So humanity or some form of consciousness will continue. Consciousness will survive. And that’s what it’s all about — to create a being that can house consciousness. So it can’t go wrong. Ultimately, we can’t fail.


Craig Hamilton-Parker: I think there’s a lack of direction and a lack of national identity. That’s why you do need somebody like Trump, albeit somebody that’s a bit suspect. You need someone who gets people focused again. Europe’s got exactly the same problem. UK’s got it. All around the world, we’ve got exactly the same problems with people having this loss of faith in oneself. 

I think we will pull together again. I don’t think America’s going to fall into decline. America was founded on spiritual values. I’m born in Southampton and the Mayflower sailed from Southampton into Plymouth and then to America. The Pilgrim fathers and the rest went into America to set up a new spiritual country.  

And I think that foundation — actually from the seeds — America will be spiritual again. I think America’s just lost its way at the moment. It’s lost its sense of purpose because it got lost in materialism. Like the rest of the world, we all got lost in this plastic world we’ve created. This lazy world we’ve created. Now with AI as well, where human intelligence becomes less important. 

We’ve got to get back to basics. Yogananda had it right when he said that America in the future will become decentralized. It will become smaller communities. The big cities will become less important. People will get back to the land. 

We have gotten too centralized. We don’t necessarily need to be so. We can still be a unified country, but in a different way. When we get a spiritual awakening again, places like America will come back into harmony. It won’t break up into multiple countries, like will happen in China, reverting back to the way it was centuries ago. 

I think America will remain as One. America will continue. America will continue to be first in the world and be one of the policemen of the world. It will be the leading democratic country of the world. We’ll do it.

—————-

Craig Hamilton-Parker: No matter how bad it gets, we’ll get through it. There will be some bad stuff ahead. It will be something like an earth shift or a meteorite. We’ll have some dramatic thing that will make us all sit up and take notice. 

The only way we can solve the big problems in the world is when we work together. And by having these big problems — the reason they’re there — is to make us work together. Individually, if you get complacent, life comes along and gives you a kick. If as a world we get complacent, something could come along and give us a kick. It’s a compassionate kick because it’s a kick to get us back on the path to awakening. 

 Alex Farrari: I have heard that within the rest of this year and going into the next couple years, there’s going to be an event — a natural or possibly economic event, a battle or a war, that’s going to cross the line and galvanize us. Something that pushes us in into this new era.  I joke, it’s like the movie, Independence Day. Aliens park right in front of the White House lawn and everyone goes, “Wait a minute. We’re all humans. We have a common foe.” Where we all choose, “We’ve been down this road before. But NOT again.

—————–

Alex Farrari: You mentioned the galactic scenario in regards to creatures on other planets or beings on other planets. I found that that as I went deeper down the Eastern philosophies, the Eastern teachings like Yogananda, Babaji — that whole lineage. Those worlds are known and have been known for thousands of years. The Bhagavata Gita. Otherworldly blue avatar people that decided to show up. It’s part of their culture, the beings from another planets or beings from another part of the universe. 

We in the West are honestly starting to open up to that idea a lot more, with the UAF’s now and the government coming out here in the States. “Hey man, there’s something going on.” I’d love to hear your point of view on that from a spiritual place. How do you think that’s going to impact humanity’s consciousness as we get closer and closer to that awareness? 

Craig Hamilton-Parker:  I really do believe that we’re going through tough times. Anybody would look at the politics and the wars in the world and see we’re coming out of the darker age. But as we come out of the darker age, we enter into a new form of consciousness and this is where there’s hope.

As we come out of that darker age and into an age of greater understanding and awakening, we start to realize that our thoughts are not limited to our own heads. When you feed telepathy, thoughts have wings. They go out and they can connect, speak. But also thoughts can influence the whole world around us. They can influence events that happen to us. They can influence the karma that’s in our life. Good thoughts can open up wonderful things in our life. 

But also, those thoughts can connect with other people’s thoughts. We’re in an Internet. It’s a spiritual Internet. We’re in a mycelium that connects all throughout the whole universe. Beings in different worlds can connect with this world.  

What Unity IS & Isn’t

Interesting, isn’t it.

At a time marked by fragmenting beliefs, polarizing politics, and irrational violence, people across the board increasingly crave what we all seem to most lack: UNITY, both within and without.

Tapping into this deeply felt common need, politicians of every stripe are joining the national call for UNITY.

If only we understood what the word from its deepest, pristine origins really means, and were in agreement in a vision as to how it might play out in our day-to-day lives.

Aye. There’s the rub.

The English language has devolved to such an extent that value words are very often defined both as one thing and its exact opposite. All too often when we speak, we miss each other coming and going, not even recognizing the disconnect. I’ve called this The Tower of Babel Dilemma.

To remedy it, in part, I wrote a series of 64 essays, each focused on a commonly used value word, intending to restore a common understanding regarding its correct use. As an example, Essay 60. Unity is attached to the end of this post.

A recent, uniquely excellent expression of true UNITY was written by Melania Trump immediately after the assassination attempt on her husband’s life. At the Republication convention, he thanked his wife for her “beautiful letter calling for national unity.” It reads in pertinent part:

Melania Trump. July 14, 2024  

We have always been a unique union. America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one.  

Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love.

We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can realize this world again. Each of us must demand to get it back. We must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships again.  

Just prior to the Republican convention, because he’d been informed that it would be the subject of Trump’s acceptance speech, in One America film maker Dinesh D’Souza addressed the emerging theme of national unity.

I quote him here at length, edited only for grammar, because the point and its illustrators are so important:

The point I want to make here is, when we talk about unity, what do we actually mean by unity? Does it mean, first of all talking about the Republican Party, that we’re going to find a common denominator of every person who has an R after their name and that’s unity? 

No. Republican unity means, by and large, taking the main coalitions or the main constituents of the Republican Party and  . . inspiring them to want to vote Republican. 

But at the same time, you want to frame your message in such a way that you attract Independents. You also lure some Democrats. 

Unity is never a matter — and I think Trump understands this very well (we’ll find out when we watch his speech when he gives it later this week) that unity doesn’t mean finding the people who want to destroy you and frankly, the people who want to destroy the country, and unifying with them. Because our agenda and their agenda are incompatible. 

. . . even in the Reagan era, the Reagan agenda and the Carter agenda or the Reagan and the Mondale agendas were incompatible. At that point, by and large, debates were not over ends. They were over means. 

Now the left and the right disagree over ends — not just means. That means MAGA has got to be interpreted not as unifying the country per se, but unifying the country against the left [including their globalist agenda].  

This is the key. 

Let’s go back to Abraham Lincoln for a moment. Lincoln understood that bringing the country together doesn’t mean finding a new consensus in which the slave master and the Republicans sit down and “iron out” their differences. Lincoln understood that unifying the country is unifying the country on a consensus that slavery shall not be allowed to spread. That was the Republican platform. Lincoln was willing to compromise up to that point, but no further. He was implacable beyond that. 

This is important to realize in any kind of compromise. This is also true of normal negotiations. You go, “Okay. I’m going to ask for X. I’ll be willing to settle for Y. But I’m not willing to settle for anything below Y.”  You draw the line. 

The meeting of the minds is over that basic starting point: the point that Republicans do seek unity, but not unity at any price. And not a weak unity that finds the lowest common denominator. But to unify over the core principles that will save America. Frame those principles in as broad and charitable way as you can. 

. . . the job of the Republicans here is to reframe that consensus.

Trump’s VP pick, J.D. Vance, demonstrates that he understands these core principles in a deep, profound way. And, perhaps in a more grounded way than most, he appreciates Trump’s style, articulating the middle path of compassionate unity within the party.

For example, at the Faith and Freedom Coalition breakfast in Milwaukee, J.D. Vance gave us a glimpse into his way of thinking:

. . . when I talk about [Donald Trump’s] uniqueness in politics, I think one of the great virtues of his approach to politics — that his critics will slander in every which way. . . but President Trump is uniquely capable and aware of politics being the art of the possible. What can we accomplish in the here and now? How do we advance the ball one yard, before we advance it ten yards, before we advance it to a touchdown. 

So I’d ask my social conservative friends, as you see the administration unfold, as you see the campaign unfold, remember that this is a guy who delivered for social conservatives more than any president in my 39 years of life.

I think he deserves a little bit of grace. He deserves a little bit of trust. And I hope that we will all provide that to him. I certainly know that as his running mate, I will. 

———

For the sake of the nation’s survival, I dearly hope citizens across the board will start to think and choose to act in terms of the unifying core principles that define America, in stark contrast to the drastically incompatible agenda of the leftists and their destructive, globalist ends.

To this point, in various interviews, Jordan Peterson holds forth on Trump’s psychology and why he drives liberal elites crazy. His flamboyant, often unpredictable style is chief among complaints. Many think he acts like a bully.

But Peterson is quick to add, Yes. “Trump has proclivity to bully. He does so effectively and sometimes very usefully.” Yes. In the company of international leaders, each of whom is a bully, he speaks their language, necessarily. . . and fluently. 

But as Piers Morgan insists, Trump is “multifaceted.” This illustrates J.D. Vance’s point. Trump uniquely understands the art of the possible. He speaks the language of business to business leaders. And compassionate love of family to ordinary Americans, for example to the Gold Star parents of children lost in the Afghanistan withdrawal.

He’s more skilled than most in the art of optics. Put in biblical terms, “For everything there is a season. And time for every purpose under heaven.”

Essay 60. UNITY

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. — Martin Luther King, Jr.,
The Words of Martin Luther King, Jr.

—–

The scientist or the artist takes two facts or experiences which we separate; he finds in them a likeness which had not been seen before: and he creates a unity by showing the likeness. . . . All science is the search for unity in hidden likenesses. — Jacob Bronowski, quoted by Todd Siler in Think Like a Genius

—–

I have always felt that one of the simplest and most apt metaphors for an organization as complex as the United Nations is the Rorschach inkblot test. What one person sees as the hope of a world free of war, famine, poverty, and disease, another interprets as a global boondoggle comprised of uncaring civil servants threatening the cherished concept of state sovereignty. — James Holtje, Divided It Stands: Can the United Nations Work

————

THE FRONT

The Latin root of unity means oneness.

Webster’s first definition is the state of being one, or united; oneness, singleness.

— It means something complete in itself, single, or separate.

— It can be the quality of being one in spirit, sentiment, purpose; harmony, agreement or concord.

— It can also mean uniformity.

— It can refer to an arrangement of parts or material in a work of art or literature that will produce a single, harmonious effect.

— It can refer to constancy, continuity, or fixity of purpose or action.

The difference amongst these definitions reflects a general cultural confusion as to the optimal relationship of the individual to the levels of the Life Wheel, including society, nature, inner life, and Creator Source. Effective, consistent action depends upon an integrated concept of self and a comfortable relationship of each level and part within the whole.

Therefore, thinking carefully about what unity means — as well as what it doesn’t — is a necessary prelude to ultimate success in life.

Accepting the I Ching view that accomplishments begin with the smallest unit, unity is first to be attained within. It’s common to say, “My mind’s not made up” or “Get it together.” The familiar saying, “The right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing,” could also be phrased, “The left brain doesn’t know what the right brain is doing.”

When Westerns say, “I’m of two minds on this,” it reflects confusion, ambivalence or lack of discipline. However, the martial arts advice to have eight brains and eight hearts refers to the height of attainment. It suggests ability to intentionally shift internal gears to meet any situation. From the totality of unified mind, the ideal I Ching master focuses from above while acting through each of the energy centers according the immediate need at the time.

The motive, the “why” of psychologies and meditative practices is the same: to unify fragmented, antagonistic functions of mind, personality and behavior. The purpose, the “what” they plan to accomplish, ranges from personal self-mastery to inner peace and/or functional relationships. The intent, the “how,” is diverse. Some practices start from the outside with behavior and work in. Others start with the mind, ideas and attitudes, and work outwards. Still others work on both simultaneously, which is possible in communities where work and self-awareness training go hand in glove.

External diversity complements inner unity. The core of life’s concentric circles, like the hub of a wheel, remains still as the outer rim revolves, constantly changing and in motion. Meridians, like spokes of a wheel, link center to surface, connecting and organizing the wheel of life in a dynamic unity.

It hardly matters how the goal of inner unity is attained. Once one is focused and all the facets of inner energy are coordinated by a single-minded purpose, the pieces of life’s mosaic fall into place, forming a coherent picture. Then life becomes a work of art, like a poem or a song.

Albert Einstein –equal parts musician, philosopher, physicist and world citizen — searched lifelong for a unified field theory. The Book of Change embodies the universal code he sought. We’ve failed to recognize the clues hidden for centuries in a venerable text that have the potential to lead us to solutions desperately needed NOW. Restoring this treasure to the general culture would provide a fully functional paradigm from which positive, life-sustaining results can be generated across-the-board.

THE BACK

Regimentation and conformance are perversions of unity. Nature flourishes in diversity. Like snowflakes, each individual is a unique variation of its kind. In contrast, in extreme social contexts, variations are suppressed and punished. While this unnatural state might be appropriate to unnatural situations like war, it’s antithetical to personal well-being.

Technically, because all things are connected, it’s possible to dabble in the dark worlds of demons and departed souls. However, though these realms do exist, it is dangerously unwise to explore them without a specific, positive purpose and a white magician’s protective guidance.

Patience

As I continue to add to my collection of oracle decks, more than once, I’ve found that the message on a single card made the entire purchase worth it.

More that once, this process reminds me of my teacher’s well-remembered reminder: “Expense is no object to get a point across.”

Yesterday’s experience was a repeat of that process.

In befriending the latest deck to grab my attention, Messages from the Guides Transformation Cards, one simply-worded message embedded in suggestive geometric patterns and watery blue colors stood out from the rest. “Patience is a virtue.”

The concept is familiar enough. (Serious understatement!) What stood out, however, was the corresponding message in the Guidebook.

To my mind, the textbook definition of patience is limited.

Definition of patience. noun[ U ] us /ˈpeɪ.ʃəns/uk /ˈpeɪ.ʃəns/. The ability to wait, or to continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed: “Patience – they’ll be here soon!”

During prolonged periods of apparent stagnation, my personal definition begins to take on connotations of boredom and frustration — even a sense of futility. Quite the opposite of the children’s story, The Hare & the Tortoise | Patience and Perseverance:

“The Tortoise and the Hare: Fable of Patience and Perseverance” is a timeless tale set in the serene meadows of Steadfast Valley. Harper, the boastful hare, challenges Theo, the slow and steady tortoise, to a race. As the characters embark on their journey, the narrative unfolds with moments of overconfidence, unexpected challenges, and a surprising twist at the finish line. This animated fable imparts a profound lesson on the virtues of patience and perseverance, showcasing how determination and resilience can lead to triumph in the race of life. The story encourages viewers to reflect on the importance of character over speed, making it a captivating and motivational narrative for all ages.

In such inspirational tales, patience is adorned with the virtues of steadfastly adhering, slow and steady, to a single course of action, fortified by determination and unwavering focus.

This compliments the Book of Change approach to Patience:

But . . . there are times when human patience — purposeful, long-suffering perseverance — wears thin. It feels hollow. It isn’t satisfying. It’s not enough.

That’s where this new perspective provided a welcome breath of fresh air. It reads:

Allowing yourself to experience life as it ebbs and flows — without having any connection to the timing — is indeed a gift.

How so?

It continues:

Remember, time is an illusion, and you are eternal. The clock ticks in this physical dimension, but it is just a device we use for measuring. Your higher self has always been and always will be.

It advises:

Slow down and enjoy your journey. If you race through it, you will miss the pearls on the path. Slow down, soul-traveler; there are no rewards for finishing first. The rewards are the experiences you are passing by. Be present and acknowledge the wonders of this dimension. Free yourself from expectations and let your path unfold.

Due Credit

Here’s are some interesting questions for you.

Does Donald J. Trump demonstrate heart-felt compassion for Americans in pain?

Or does he have a genius for smelling out powerful campaign issues?

I’d say, perhaps its a bit of both. Maybe its a lot.

Here’s a case in point. Biden shunned the family of soldiers fallen during the debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal .

In contrast, Trump scheduled an hour meeting which ended up lasting six hours. During one-on-one conversations, he promised — when elected — to deliver accountability for the loss of their loved ones. After which, he treated the entire group to dinner.

Later, one of the mothers commented that this was the best thing that had happened to her since the loss of her son.

Now here’s a man I’d much rather have as a friend than an enemy.

Wouldn’t you?

Quantum Solutions

The following is an excerpt from Chapter Five of The Quantum Solution.

Now is the time to make a Fresh Start. We can stop the repeating cycles of destruction, yo-yoing back and forth in duality, in the left-hand, negative mode. We can spin history right, in the positive, creative mode.  

The immigrant invasion is a consequence of extreme imbalance. “Every extreme invites the opposite which restores balance.” Westerners have a long history of invading nations abroad, exporting violence for profit. It has inevitably come home to roost. Karma. 

We have attracted what we are as a mirror to make us aware of our mistakes by experiencing first hand what we’ve done to others. The beneficial response is to shift away from the imperialist paradigm – change from an aggressive, domination and control mind-set, and improve our actions going forward. It’s the only logical way to get better results.  

Americans urgently need to stop the downward spiraling cycle that threatens human survival. We are the descendants and beneficiaries of an invasion, stealing the continent from Native Americans, infecting them with deadly diseases to which they had no immunity. But they themselves were not innocents. Our invasion was a mirror to them. Two sides of a coin, engaged in a repetition of endless cycles of change.   

As Einstein told us, a problem (in this case, immigrant invasion) cannot be solved at the same level at which it originated. Resolution requires shifting gears to a higher octave, seeing things new. Rather than (at least exclusively) combating this invasion at the literal level of symptoms, the positive solution begins with recognizing the deeper cause: operating on an incomplete, false paradigm generating imbalance from the level of energy dynamics.   

How do we slice the pie? See things new? Start with changing our perceptions of who the enemy is and where the real danger lies. It is in the false empirical science either/or paradigm that sets people at each others’ throats, that justifies violence, death and destruction in order to profit from it.   

For starters, a Quantum Solution begins with modifying the idea that massive deportations are a primary solution. For example, let RFK Jr.s idea of rehab communities, rethought and expanded, become a means of assimilating a healthy number of immigrants who have been here longest, allowing them to live with and be socialized by Americans in cooperative, nature-connected communities.  

In any case, it’s imperative to turn the reactive, fear- and anger-driven dynamic around, to outmaneuver far-left democrats and globalists who would exploit this emergency to empower themselves at the expense of the middle class. The Quantum Solution is to change/transform/transmute the danger inherent in immigrant influence which politicians assume they can wield to their benefit. And make sure they can’t!!     

The Quantum Solution is not to take their bait. Don’t be distracted by fear, anger, hatred. Recognize what the left hand is doing — churning chaos to rationalize the imposition of a nefarious militaristic one world order agenda. If we panic, allow ourselves to be suckered into another J6-like “insurrection,” even actual civil war, it gives globalists a pretext for draconian retaliation.   

Instead, recognize that they’re fostering a danger which we can turn into an opportunity. They’ve made it absolutely necessary to overcome fear of the unfamiliar (a shift to the Quantum Paradigm) by dread of something even worse. They’ve made the real solution imperative, obliging Americans (and the world) to shift to this genuinely inclusive paradigm.   

The Quantum Solution to the presence of thousands of illegal immigrants who’ve infiltrated the country is to speak to the basic universal impulse on all sides for a better life. Most immigrants don’t want to be parasites. They certainly don’t want to be puppets. They want dignity. Self-respect. They want to grow, learn, improve and prosper. . . just like everyone else!! 

Outsmart the cartels and politicians who are operating on a destructive paradigm of conflict and exploitation. Because humans will instinctively gravitate towards the inner, timeless truths we all share in common. Find a way to mobilize this to our advantage to defeat the globalists, cartels and self-serving politicians – the real enemies, both here and abroad.   

The Quantum Solution is to make it obvious to illegals where their advantage lies. Make it clear that they have more in common with humane patriots of goodwill than with cynical, exploitative cartels and leftist politicians. Also make it clear to patriots that they have more in common with aspiring immigrants who believe in the American dream than with the current government that’s behind this invasion to begin with!  

The Quantum Solution is to accept immigrants wisely, with the offer to genuinely assimilate them. Empower them by getting them onto the land and into good jobs. This invasion will reshape the population, but in the long run, if we are smart (prudent), not in the way that globalists expect. Use their strategy of invasion against them. If we do this right –wisely and humanely, globalists are done.   

It begins with shifting to the higher level of mercy. Wisdom. Forgiveness and compassion for all concerned. No guilt. No retaliation. No reparations for the sins of our fathers. None of that helps, because time doesn’t go backward. The only choice is to move forwards. Stop repeating the same old mistakes.  

Even if not all of us are prepared to shift overnight to the higher octave, it begins with at least recognizing that there is a higher octave and aspiring to shift there. It begins by following leaders who speak from that level, represent it, lead us towards it by creating policies that offer alternative, positive healing responses towards danger. It starts by becoming aware that that’s where we want to go, who we want to be. That’s our future hope: committing to our potential to get there.  

Conversely, to continue reacting at the level of external symptoms, to go after illegal immigrants and punish them, would be like a dog running in circles, chasing its tail. 

It’s a no win, futile exercise in stupidity. Tragic futility. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”  

If government leftists are hiding these immigrants, mucking up the etheric atmosphere with fear, anger and resistance – if we fail to recognize the lessons long overdue to be learned, are blind to the opportunity to grow, but instead react emotionally to the situation as a terrible, frightening, life-threatening danger to be combated, then the old either/or conflict paradigm would be magnified and prevail.   

Tucker Carlson is correct that we first have to shine a light on what’s literally going on. See facts without filters for what they are. “You can’t leave a place you’ve never been.”  

BUT THEN, second – look for the option of a better response. Shine the light of quantum intelligence on the facts. See the potentials for positive change. Decide on how we can best turn negative dynamics around, reverse them. Harness energy dynamics to a larger, positive end.  

Democrats have made the fatal mistake of assuming that immigrants will remain perpetually on the dole, obligated to depend upon endless welfare to survive. They assume immigrants will remain helpless and can be manipulated into becoming a dependable voting force they can exploit to keep themselves in power.   

But what if we outsmart the leftists? Offer immigrants something far more valuable than a welfare state? Give them the opportunity to become independent, to pay their way, no longer be dependent on welfare. Instead, respect their intrinsic humanity and potential to be creative and productive. Win their hearts and minds, rather than exploiting them as if they were only sub-human pawns.  

The Quantum Solution is to regard immigrants as souls with the same aspirations as every other soul. The majority of them want to be self-standing, autonomous, self-respecting, contributing members of the collective whole. Most did not come here with the intention of being a curse on the country. The vast majority didn’t come here to destroy it. They came to benefit from it, become an assimilated, integral part of it. Immigrants are not only running away from something, but towards something, in the hope of a better future.  

It’s a mistake to focus exclusively on the threat and react against hapless illegals who’ve been caught up in the wave of history. Most are not fully conscious. Only a handful intentionally mean harm. The majority can go either way, depending on what influences are brought to bear upon them, either positive or negative, leading them either towards hope and gratitude or pushing them into anger, despair — violence. The game’s not over yet. The story’s ending is far from decided.  

The Quantum Solution is to change perceptions of the situation and its potentials. Rather than perceive only threat, look for creative challenges. What can we do, humanely, intelligently? If the way of life that we knew is forever gone, so be it. Water over the dam. Done deal. So choose to focus on what way of life will emerge and how to evolve in a creative, transformative way that results in the nation becoming even better than before.  

The Quantum Solution is to recognize the opportunities hidden within this very real danger. For example, use this situation as an opportunity to mobilize a return to the land, reversing the globalist agenda of pushing Americans off their land, instead cramming citizens and illegals alike into overcrowded cities.  

The Quantum Solution to take the high road. Be creative, positive and life-affirming. Choose that which accomplishes the opposite of the destructive, dehumanizing globalist depopulation agenda. “Resist not evil, but persist in the good” by recognizing the humanness in everyone and speaking to that. Win over illegals who aspire or are on the fence by speaking to their essential humanity. Never allow conflict to accelerate and amplify.   

Yes, it’s a war, but at least we can intelligently define its parameters and choose our weapons. There’s a different way to win this war, not by destroying perceived enemies, but by assimilating them. Raising them up. Winning them over to our side, to join our ranks, become part of our army.  

The Quantum Solution is to be discerning. Be merciful as much as possible, but also, when required, just.  Use the quantum Life Wheel as a diagnostic tool to 1) discern between those whose attitudes are sincere versus those whose intentions are dangerous and should be deported, as well as 2) an educational tool, teaching all sides how to ask, “Where am I Now?” Then, “Where do I want to be?” And, “What action steps will it take to get from here to there?”

But the present time has the potential for a Fresh Start across the board. The Quantum Solution is to shift gears, relate to people on all sides of this issue at the level of their hearts and minds, rather than escalating the problem by fighting fire with fire on the physical plane.  

Illegals, whatever their history, are human beings. However deeply asleep (as many of us are), they remain made in the image of God. Education is both the problem and the potential solution.   

Muslims, for example, have been educated to believe that deceiving and conquering infidels (anyone not of their religion) is required of them. Such behavior is not only acceptable. It’s holy.  

On the flip side of the same coin, the elite class of Americans have been educated to believe they are superior and above other nations, having a privileged status which excuses exploiting resources (at home and abroad) to maintain that exclusive superiority. 

Ignorant of the Law of Karma, globalists assume they can get away with murder — even genocide, as if they were exempt from the consequences of their actions. But the law operates the same, whether recognized or not. Payback is already on the way.

It’s false, obsolete beliefs on all sides which education must change. For example, the trade-off for immigrants being respected and humanely assimilated in the U.S. is that they in return demonstrate sincere respect for the innate divinity of citizens in their new land — a recognition of the humanity we all share in common.  

Further, to stop the repeating cycles of invasions once and for all, we need to rethink governance and the professions (science, education, healthcare and law) across the board, upgrading them to align with the holistic Quantum Paradigm.
