Again, timing is everything.

I’ve recently seen several videos each claiming that the August 12-13 closure of the annual astrological Lion’s Gate Portal is the most powerful part of all, being the practical culmination of awareness gained during its process.

Today, being the 13th of August, has certainly lived up to this rep.

Throughout this portal time, which opened on July 28th, I’ve been reading through a small acquired library of Louise Hay books, as well as a 2017 book by Susan Van Hoosen called One Bite at a Time, which I bought it for one reason, but later, upon reading, discovered a deeper one.

One Bite At A Time: A True Story of Transformational Change and 7 Life Lessons Learned To Help You Live Your Best, Healthiest, Happiest, Most Inspired Life tells first of the author’s reeling from shock, grief and PTSD symptoms after the sudden, unexpected death of a beloved life partner. And then of the gradual evolutionary process of creating a “new normal” life of service and transcendent wholeness.

Not coincidentally, Louise Hay’s beliefs and teachings shaped Van Hoosen’s views before, during and after her initial loss.

The capstone of my personal healing journey began today, the 13th, with receipt of one last book on same subject:

You Can Heal Your Heart: Finding Peace After a Breakup, Divorce, or Death, co-authored by Louise Hay and David Kessler. David earlier co-authored two books with his mentor, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, expert/author on the five stages of grief. He built a career around applying her ideas about accepting one’s personal demise to grieving over lesser losses across the board — of jobs, homes, health, relationships, pets . . the full spectrum.

During the 2020 COVID epidemic, David gathered a huge internet following, comforting and counseling a grieving population as we adjusted to the many losses experienced during that crisis. . . not just of life, but in a larger view, of a familiar lifestyle.

Hay and Kessler’s message boils down to this. Personal grief doesn’t grow smaller over time. It’s up to us to grow bigger.

My aha! moment today was this. Over the next few years of paradigm shift, brought about by massive changes — political, geopolitical and extraterrestrial, humanity will experience a similar, planet-wide grieving process as many reflexively resist change — clinging to the old, familiar being lost in the process of the quantum paradigm shift already in progress.

Being aware of the stages of grieving — the natural process which, successfully traversed, has the potential to lead to acceptance and adjusting to higher understandings . . . is best done consciously and deliberately. Kessler adds a sixth stage: infusing loss with higher meaning.

And this is another subject which needs be addressed in The Quantum Solution.

Also, I initially came across Van Hoosen’s book by that title while searching to see what possible titles might still be available along that line. Because I became aware that the elephant imagery applies to The Quantum Solution. The Quantum Paradigm with its major applications may be too big to digest all at once. Perhaps it’s better approached by introducing the Quantum Paradigm as a stand-alone subject. Only then, thereafter, in a series of bite-sized essays, if not small books, might the time be right to introduce one smaller portion of the subject at a time — a more digestible, acceptable approach.

Just thinking.

In Why RFK Jr and MAHA Are DOOMED , Dr Suneel Dhand, speaks directly to why a shift to the Quantum Paradigm which I advocate is the necessary and logical solution to the problem he so eloquently describes. I find his overview of the situation extraordinarily insightful.

I’ve transcribed the video verbatim, and will simply place a few images and/or contents to drive my point home. I’ve taken the liberty of bolding key concepts, to facilitate the read.

I’m going to explain to you in this video why I believe Make America Healthy Again and RFK Jr. are going to spectacularly fail. I take no pleasure in saying that. I’m a supporter of the movement. I believe RFK Jr. –his heart is in the right place. Certainly better than those who came before. But Make America Healthy Again is heading for extreme disappointment because they are focused on the wrong battle right now.  

Because this is not just a food crisis. I repeat, not just a food crisis. It’s not a labeling crisis. It’s not a seed oil or a food dye crisis. It’s a cultural, emotional, and spiritual collapse. And unless we face that honestly and directly, no law, no ingredient ban, no corporate regulation is going to even make the slightest dent at all.  

Because right now we’re obsessing over surface level changes at the top of leadership window dressing. Let’s ban this ingredient. Let’s regulate that corporation. Let’s slap a new warning label on that already trashy cereal. That’s totally rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.  

Because here’s what no one wants to say. Millions of Americans and people across the Western world have lost their way. They’re not unhealthy only because they eat the wrong food. They are completely hollow inside. Disconnected from themselves, from their communities, from any meaning in life.  

NB: Here’s the picture of the “hollow inside” experience. It’s the symptom operating on an incomplete, limiting paradigm that excludes connection to Source, purpose and meaning in life.

I recently met a man in his 50s who had a successful career, a family. He looked very successful on paper. But he told me, “I eat at night, not because I’m hungry, but because I feel nothing. I feel empty. I’m totally stressed. I lack any energy.” 

He doesn’t move his body. He’s exhausted. He knows all of this, and he’s quietly given up on himself, even though everything else seems to be going okay.  

And he’s not alone.  

We have a nation full of people medicating emotional pain with food, filling spiritual voids with sugar and processed comfort.  

When we wonder why obesity keeps on climbing, no matter how many guidelines we change, that is the reason why. 

You see, this is what most people don’t understand or don’t want to talk about. And I appreciate it’s painful. Health is not just a physical issue. It’s a reflection of our priorities, true well-being, of our mindset, of what we value deep down.  

We used to value things like discipline, personal responsibility, family dinners, restraint efforts, self-respect, and yes, looking good. And this is not only a superficial issue, of course. It’s a health issue.  

But nowadays we worship convenience, speed, comfort, and the right to feel good immediately. That dopamine rush, even if it’s killing people very slowly. And look, I get it. Life is hard, people. Are super stressed. Many are just trying to get through the day.  

But until we call out the deeper issue here, this collapse of values and meaning, nothing we do on the surface will ever last.  

We could redesign every food label in America. We could outlaw soda and ultra-processed snacks. But here’s the thing, even if billions of dollars were thrown into new government programs, if people are emotionally and spiritually broken, if they stopped caring about themselves, they’ll always find another way to self-destruct.  

That’s the part that Make America Healthy again and RFK Jr. are truly missing. That’s the hard truth that almost no one wants to say, especially in politics. But it is the truth. 

If we want to reverse this true health catastrophe in adults and children, we need more than policy. We need cultural renewal. [Renaissance.] 

Is this going to be easy? Of course not. But that means we have to stop normalizing self-destructive behaviors, celebrating weakness, victimhood and helplessness. And start making health aspirational again. Everybody, yes everybody, needs to step up.  

They need to find meaning in being healthy, in taking care of themselves, a reason to get off the couch, a reason to make a better food choice. to resist temptation — not out of fear, but out of pride.  

Again, this is not going to be easy. This doesn’t mean shaming anyone. It means calling people up, not tearing them down. We need to reinstall the belief that one’s body is a temple to be treated well. We need to reinstill a sense of people wanting to look good, not abusing their bodies with sugar, processed foods, alcohol, other drugs.  

So what could be some answers here to try to do that? Well, I don’t claim to have all the answers. This is very difficult. But here’s what I do know. If Make America Healthy Again wants to succeed, it can’t just be about food and labels and tiny ingredients. It has to be about philosophy. It has to be about mindset. It has to be about who we are as people.  

And this is very much how things were a few decades ago. Maybe we need to teach mindset and resilience more in schools, alongside mathematics and science. Maybe we need national campaigns that go beyond food campaigns that talk about meaning, purpose, character and yes, self-destructive behaviors.  

But whatever we do, it must go deeper. Because if we don’t get to the root of why Americans and so many other Western countries are getting sick, we’ll keep on just managing symptoms. 

NB: And here is the Quantum Life Wheel image of completion — the totality of the human experience which links surface physicality with mental/emotional vibrational states and, deeper still, with the still essence of who we ARE.

And this is a country — remember the United States, which once sent a man to the moon, many men to the moon? People crossed frontiers, stood up for freedom across the world.  

Of course, a problem like obesity and soaring metabolic disease can be solved if we focus on the right things. Stop pretending it’s about superficial things.  

It’s about meaning. It’s about spirit. It’s about helping people feel alive again.  

Until we fix that, nothing changes. No matter how passionate certain people at the top are, no matter how flashy the campaigns about changing ingredients here and there in processed foods, no matter what policies are proposed, if the inside of people is broken, the outside will always follow. 

And right now, inside of this country, millions are emotionally, culturally and spiritually completely fractured. Fix that and everything starts to heal.  

NB: And here’s the image of the fractured state which cries out to be fixed:

It won’t be easy, but if we keep ignoring that, everything will continue to fall apart.   

Entrepreneur and patriot Patrick Byrne describes the dilemma he faces — having to explain to brainwashed Americans concepts so far outside of the familiar as to be reflexively rejected out of hand. Way too threatening and overwhelming to even consider.

He’s had to pace himself. Take one step at a time. His approach has been to ask, “How do you get people to eat an elephant?” His solution, “One bite at a time.”

In this case, the global definition of Health in MAGA includes infinitely more than the shadow, surface side of an urgent, immediate medical crisis: a plague of chronic diseases. But it’s a huge step in the right direction. Certainly not to be underrated.

No doubt RFK Jr. and supporters are keenly aware of values issues. American Values, was, after all, the platform of their 2024 campaign.

And in the long run, as the good doctor points out here, the scope of Health must eventually expand to embrace the pristine definition of health: wholeness. Completion. A state of being where all the levels of one’s Quantum Life Wheel — physical, mental, emotional and spiritual — are effective aligned and linked. Ultimately, holy.

I struggled with the temptation to shout out, “Hey, Louise!”

A bad pun on her well-known name, Louise Hay.

Why my thanks?

Actually, there are plenty of reasons.

Starting with a timely post which recently crossed my feed: How Louise Hay Transformed Her Life After 80 — And You Can Too

It’s told that on her 80th birthday, Louise declared that the coming decade would be the best of her life. And following through, on the celebration of her 81st birthday, she gave a premier viewing of a groundbreaking film made during that year. It animates her teachings in story form.

Why timely? Because I was viewing my upcoming 80th birthday with wary eyes. And her story turned my attitude around. I decided, as her example promised, I CAN make it a great day, a wonderful year and a fabulous decade.

I’ve saturated my days with her inspirational books and colorful affirmation cards. For several reasons. First, to keep my vibration high at this critical juncture in time. Second, to make myself familiar with parallels between her work and mine. For example, she speaks of centering and “the power within” almost as if she had the Quantum Life Wheel in mind. Almost.

Second, I’ve made a hobby of collecting oracle and affirmation decks, looking for the best examples upon which to model a possible deck of my own . . . a quantum oracle deck.

I had to decide whether another deck is actually needed in this already crowded field. What blind-spot, what unmet need can I fill? What do I have to contribute to this genre? It has immense appeal to readers with short attention spans, powerfully attracted by brief, concise statements combined with stimulating artwork.

Building up to this week, I’d decided on the image to use for the backs of my deck. It’s the Kabbalah tree of life superimposed upon the sacred geometry of the flower of life. It looks like this:

Brewing in the back of my mind were quantum affirmations for the fronts.

And just in time (a Leo new moon in direct opposition to my Aquarius ascendant), a floodgate opened. First a trickle. Then steady flow. I filled page after page in my journal with affirmations. For example,

I AFFIRM: I Am One with God the Creator Source. All that not of Truth falls away, dissolves and disappears. I am free.

I AFFIRM: I live fully present in the moment of NOW. Past and future do not exist as I focus on creating the perfection of this day.

I AFFIRM: Every day is a fresh start, building on the foundation of loving commitment, incrementally increasing the benefits of wisdom in all directions.

I AFFIRM: It is my duty and supreme pleasure to nourish and becare my health on all levels, the better to serve God and humanity as I am called.

I AFFIRM: I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way, trusting they will arrive in the right way at the right time.

I AFFIRM: I see with the eyes of unconditional love, having mercy on suffering humans who know not what they do.

I AFFIRM: I align all aspects of my life with the purpose of serving humanity as a white magician in higher realms of experience.

I AFFIRM: The blessings and abundance of God flow in as I open to gratefully receive that which is meant for me.

I AFFIRM: Joy is my natural birthright, freely shared with my spiritual family of co-workers on the path of mutual support and cooperation.

In each case, artwork will place the language of these affirmations within the Quantum Life Wheel, to establish the mindset of thinking in terms of levels of experience.

This post will set forth a radical conclusion regarding quantum (“spiritual”) warfare. It’s ongoing. We’re in the midst of its horrific death rattle. Evidence in the form of signs and warnings are all around us, waiting for our attention, requiring a positive collective response.

This piece could, given more time and better circumstances, be written more elegantly and thoroughly. However, it’s better to sketch the basics now, make them available for later upgrades, so the basic concept isn’t altogether lost for failure to record it at the moment when its effect is powerfully felt.

Here I start with the premise, and the proceed to draw upon supporting building blocks, connecting the multitude of seemingly unrelated dots assembled from multiple sources, representing various disciplines’ partial visions of a larger, quantum picture.

Start here. Nancy Rebecca has stated a critically important quantum premise. As Tesla told us, everything is fundamentally frequency and vibration. By extension, all disease — whether physical, emotional and/or mental — has an underlying vibrational cause. The only way to go deeper than (often distracting/misleading) symptoms is to heal the root, vibrational cause.

Apply to this premise Dr. David R. Hawkin’s generally recognized and accepted Map of Consciousness.

Now, here’s the abuse of this knowledge applied to quantum warfare. The way to enslave and/or eventually destroy enemies is to drag them down. Mire them in the lowest possible frequencies of experience.

An important example is the recent, unnatural weather event in Texas, timed for the 4th of July, undermining what should have been a celebration of both national sovereignty and Trump’s political victory, passing keystone legislation designed to keep his promises to the American people.

So, globalists and their dark-side handlers used that date to deflect/redirect positive momentum. Undermine it with a shocking tragedy of extraordinary proportion in a defiantly sovereign state, targeting a religious community and its precious youth. Change joy to the emotions of horrendous loss: unspeakable fear, unimaginable grief, dark despair, and disorienting uncertainty/confusion. Add to the mix the despicable (if predictable) attempt by Trump-haters to blame the loss on defects in the recently passed legislation, generating intense, low-vibrational anger/rage across the board.

The result: the country’s collective vibration is drowning in an energetic, downward- spiraling maelstrom.

ET observers as well as angel channelers are at work to counter this dynamic. They recognize the intentionally destructive pattern, and are instructing/urging us as to how to protect personal/collective integrity that’s under attack — not only on the symptomatic emotional plane, but at the deeper, underlying vibrational level.

In a future update, their wisdom and practical methods deserve to be detailed with helpful specifics.

---

Now shift gears. I’ve been following an intriguing Chinese drama, Fateful Love. It includes all the ingredients of quantum warfare, layered, of course, under the obligatory themes of love, rivalry and revenge.

Among other things (worth expanding upon later), a classical stringed instrument is used to shoot vibrational arrows of destruction. And a dark magician has mastered the ability to turn humans into mindless puppets, building an army of unstoppable zombies he sends into battle.

We would do well to take the hints being offered here in the form of fiction. This knowledge is available — to all sides. The war exists. It’s on-going. And, as a matter of human survival, must be won by “the good guys.”

Louise Hay, author, speaker and founder of Hay House Publications, tells us the way she consistently maintains the highest possible vibration. Every morning upon waking, and in the face of every crisis, she repeats this specific affirmation, guaranteed through long experience, to solve any problem:

All is well.

Everything is working out for my highest good.

Out of the experiences I have, only the best comes to me.

I am safe.

Returning to the understanding of Confucian scholars, responsibility for quantum governance necessarily begins with the smallest unit: oneself.

In their eyes, the nation depends upon well-regulated states, which in turn depend upon well-regulated communities, which in turn depend on well-regulated families, which ultimately start with individuals within each family first mastering their own internal lives and then effectively playing out designated roles within that basic fundamental unit of society.

Which from another point of view, explains why the age of idols is now behind us. Quantum governance returns to the teachings of Christ, who required neither hero worship nor passive obedience, but rather that we follow in his footsteps, achieving even greater levels of ability, potentially surpassing him in growth and accomplishment.

Similarly, in quantum reality, way-showers like Donald J. Trump and RFK Jr. correctly serve as role models for what each of us can aspire to emulate in savvy, courage and resilience, in authenticity, integrity and honesty, each in our own field of expertise and at the level of our own influence.

Imagine a future where children are taught by their elders not what to think, but HOW.

Imagine a world where, from an early age, we come to depend upon the inner authority of conscience and intuition coupled with observation and logic.

Imagine what life would be like if we were given tools to strengthen these gifts, and practices for cultivating thoughtful awareness.

Imagine how people would behave if they understood that change is not to be feared and resisted, but rather to be accepted as a natural, inevitable part of life, to be skillfully surfed to reach their intentional, positive destinations.

Can you imagine how relationships would blossom when conducted mindfully, as purposeful energy exchange, intended for the good of all, based on the certain knowledge that ethical behavior is based on the karmic fact that whatever one does inevitably returns in kind?

Or imagine if humans across the globe operated from the common understanding that beneath surface differences we are all shaped by a similar skeletal structure, with energy centers spinning around a central spine, and, deeper still — that we all emanate from ONE eternal source. Understanding that we cannot hurt another without, ultimately, hurting ourselves as well.

Granted, great changes start with small seeds planted closest to home. Choose to live mindfully oneself, relating to those in one’s ambiance respectfully, with understanding and compassion — trusting that every little bit helps. Every humble effort has unseen, unknowable butterfly effects that radiate out across the universe.

Serving as a living example is a necessary, important first start in positive global change. Next steps would include teaching the concepts and methods that undergird the shift to the next generation’s Quantum Paradigm. Actions of still greater influence embrace actively supporting the publication/dissemination/promotion of these materials, enabling them to reach increasingly larger audiences.

I entered the above thoughts yesterday because they came strongly to mind and demanded to be written down. But, at the time, I had no idea of where they were leading.

When I queried the I Ching this morning, as I often do, asking what to be aware of NOW, it resulted in two familiar, often repeating hexagrams. Only after the fact, upon further reflection this afternoon, did I recognize that the reading was leading me back to this post.

The original answer came up as Hexagram 14, SELF-POSSESSION, with two changing lines. I often refer to it as SELF–MASTERY. I especially relate to the lines, “Because they are consciously in harmony with the source of creative power, they express ideas brilliantly.” (I admit, I find the designation “great leaders” curiously uncomfortable — less relatable, more personally challenging, for sure.)

It looks like this:

In this case, changing lines in the bottom and forth places changed to the final result of another frequent friend, Hexagram 18, FRESH START.

I surely find sincerity and hard work relatable. And, in fact, I drink my favorite morning teas out of my favorite mug, imprinted with the reminder logo: “Every Day is a Fresh Start.“

But this message felt like it was hanging in mid-air — like an unfinished thought, waiting for completion.

And here it was. It happened a few hours ago when I opened to a page in the guide book that accompanies the 55 light code oracle cards of Kelly Kolodney’s Master Ascension Light Codes, (She is, by the way, the Real Deal.)

The subject: LEADERSHIP. The advice: Step up.

It reads in pertinent part:

You have walked the path of many lifetimes, tirelessly polishing the gem of your inherent wisdom. The mastery (IC 14) you possess is not a fleeting gift, but a culmination of lifetimes of profound dedication, discipline, and spiritual growth.

You have been blessed with the gift of foresight, the divine capacity to see beyond the confines of the present moment and lead others into a harmonious future. It is now time to awaken the luminary within you, to step forward and gently guide others on their journey.

It continues:

Your presence, radiating with the light of your inner truth, draws others towards you in a sacred dance of unity. They are not followers, but seekers, inspired by your wisdom, thirsting for the sacred knowledge you have gathered over countless lifetimes.

Step forward, dear one, with the understanding that others will follow, not because they must, but because they are inspired by the radiant being that is you.

Food for thought.

Here’s why the successful accomplishment of RFK Jr.’s goal to Make America Healthy Again will depend upon the necessary shift to a Quantum Paradigm.

Eliminating poisonous dyes and highly processed foods from the American diet is an important first step. But it’s only that. It’s merely taking what Dr. Joe Dispenza calls a “matter-to-matter” approach.

It’s working exclusively on the material, m=mass outermost level of the Quantum Life Wheel. Whereas, in quantum psychology, addictions and disease are sourced deeper within, primarily at the middle emotional, e=energy level, and further, deeper still, at the level where the false beliefs that generate negative emotions reside.

A pristine, drug-free diet is not sufficient to produce physical (much less mental) health. If you were raised in a deeply traumatizing environment, continue to work long years under unbearable stress, and/or are governed by negative beliefs and burdened by programmed fears, the same-old diseases will inevitably afflict you.

It’s only when the levels of one’s Life Wheel are linked and aligned — when valid ideas generate positive emotions expressing as healthy lifestyle choices — that full-spectrum health is achieved.

A more complete/comprehensive — quantum — approach is offered in Dr. Dispenza’s workshops, as described in Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon:

Becoming Supernatural draws on epigenetics, quantum physics & neuroscience research conducted at his advanced workshops since 2012 to explore how common people are doing the uncommon to transform their consciousness, mindset, and beliefs to heal and live SUPERNATURAL lives.

Becoming Supernatural marries some of the most profound scientific information with ancient spiritual wisdom to show how people like you and me can experience a more mystical life.
 
Readers will learn that we are, quite literally supernatural by nature if given the proper knowledge and instruction, and when we learn how to apply that information through various healing meditations, we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities.
 
We have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly coherent streams of consciousness and energy; that we can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profoundly mystical transcendental experiences; and how, if we do this enough times, we can develop the skill of creating a more efficient, balanced, healthy body, a more unlimited mind, and greater access to the quantum field and the realms of spiritual truth.

Nor is Dr. Dispenza alone in pioneering a quantum approach to diagnosis and healing (restoring wholeness).

For example, Gabor Maté has written massively influential books which call for a re-vision of both the causes and remedies of dis-ease. The description of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction includes this summary:

Dr Mate: . . traces the root causes of addiction to childhood trauma and examines the pervasiveness of addiction in society. Dr. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout—and perhaps underpins—our society. It is not a medical “condition” distinct from the lives it affects but rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs and behaviors of addiction.

This premise is expanded in his following book, When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection:

The international bestseller is a groundbreaking exploration of the effects of the mind-body connection on stress and disease ― and how we can heal .. . . Dr. Gabor Maté shows how emotion and psychological stress play a powerful role in the onset of chronic illness, cancer, and many other serious illnesses.

The premise is then expanded yet further, from an individual to a cultural, even planetary level in the poignant The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture:

Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. . . . Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance.

Now Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society—and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing.

He directly addresses the underlying spiritual disconnect and thirst for divine connection at the root of personal and cultural malfunctions.

In all this, a quantum shift in health education is a must — from the curriculum of medical schools to public school education, implemented hand-in-glove with corresponding federal health agency standards and regulations. Nominated as Surgeon General, Casey Means most certainly understands this well, and would be a most admirable advocate and RFK Jr. supporter in the MAHA initiative to promote full-spectrum health.

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.

A flood of YouTube videos anticipating and then commenting on selection of the next pope first triggered nausea and depression. Then, a few days later, came a flash of insights connecting the metaphysical confusion (inversion, perversion, call it what you will) that marks satanic Vatican dynamics, linking it hand-in-glove with globalism.

Introducing quantum understandings will be the end of both.

The videos I refer to document in painful detail the satanic underpinnings of Vatican dynamics, now being exposed worldwide (timing is everything). Specifically, I refer to conversations between interviewer Shaun Attwood and author Kevin Annett (whose books include Dethroning a Rogue Power: Why the Vatican must be denied membership and presence at the United Nations and in the world community; Murder by Decree: The Crime of Genocide in Canada: A Counter Report to the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”; and Governing Ourselves: A Handbook on Personal, Political, and Spiritual Sovereignty.

Also included in the mix are conversations between Glen Beck and Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, whose books include Light and Leaven: The Challenge of the Laity in the Twenty-First Century and Take Heart: Seven Apostolic Letters to Protect the Deposit of Faith. He was defrocked by Pope Francis for his views.

Pertinent videos, for your information (and horror) include:

• KEVIN A on Pope Francis & Horrors of the Catholic Church – Podcast 741
•  KEVIN A on The Popes, Vatican & Horrors of the Catholic Church Part 2 – Podcast 742
•  KEVIN A How SATANIC Are Pope Leo, the Vatican & the Catholic Church? Part 3 – Podcast 746
• Is Pope Leo Leo XIV Compromised? Kevin A
• Is the New American Pope Catholic? | Bishop Strickland | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 256

This conversation isn’t well-suited to linear exposition. Please bear with me as I cover the interrelated bases, one-by-one. In sum, they create an important picture — an overview well-worth your attention and comprehension.

Now, the Quantum Life Wheel captures the universal dynamic, lacking appreciation of which (not to mention upside-down perversions thereof) is cause of so much misery and failure produced by human “leadership” on planet Earth.

Basically, it’s a misunderstanding and devaluation of the feminine valence (present in us all, to varying degrees). It has nothing to do with “feminism.” Rather, it’s a disrespect and discard of Gia, Mother Earth, if you will. And an inappropriate, literal elevation of biological men and yang energy (to the detriment of biological women and repression of yin valence).

The Quantum Life Wheel pictures the mutually interdependent valences which express as YIN — feminine energy contracting on the inward path, reconnecting with the Creative Source. And then, reversing direction, changing to YANG — masculine energy on the outward path, expanding as it extends towards surface manifestation as a result of initial connection.

Denying, suppressing and/or violating the feminine aspect of the creative process results in being cut off from Source. Lacking connection, those starved of direct connection co-opt and literally cannibalize (satanically exploit, consume, feed on) innocents to steal/ingest the life-sustaining essence from which, in their ignorance, they’ve become separated.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Does disconnection from Source result in satanism, or does satanism result in disconnection? Most likely both of the above. It’s a two-way street. Each generates the other.

To recap from earlier discussions. satanism thrives on the conflict mentality fostered by an either/or dualistic world view. Divine masculine and divine feminine, rather than being accepted as mutually interdependent aspects of a larger whole, are set in opposition, as if mutually exclusive and inherently antithetical.

Dualistic, either/or human concepts of morality are bound by time and place. They’re subjective.

Whereas, in quantum context, “good” includes whatever follows and fosters the natural patterns and rhythms of wholeness. “Evil” encompasses whatever fragments, undermines and operates to destroy that divine pattern.

In patriarchal civilizations, yang/masculine energy has been overvalued and misconstrued as if authoritative. Out of context, it becomes strident, harsh, aggressive and merciless, while yin, feminine, receptive essence is devalued and exploited — even demonized.

The outward, yang path of implementation and enforcement, divorced from the yin qualities of intuition and inner awareness, is sterile. The kingdom of heaven cannot be conquered, entered into by brute force, or rightfully claimed as if the exclusive property of a corporate institution.

In quantum reality, unholy, unnatural attempts to do so can and will not endure.

In quantum reality, no human dare claim the power or right to stand as if an intecessor between an individual soul and its Creator God. As Bishop Strickland and Kevin Annett correctly agree, no human elected by his peers for political reasons could possibly hold the key to heaven and eternal salvation.

In quantum reality, the example of Christ calls us to follow his lead, honoring his calling to, like him, attain the perfection of wholeness.

In quantum reality, it is by the blending and balancing of complimentary valences that unity within and then without achieved. It is the path of completion.

I Ching Hexagram 11, which expresses this dynamic, looks like this:

Here, the lower three straight lines form the trigram representing “Heaven.” The upper three broken lines form the trigram called “Earth.” When heavenly energy fills the earth plane and earthly energy ascends, their mystical interaction results in Peace above and below. Heaven below supports earth above, and all is well.

Hence the seemingly paradoxical tenants of Shaolin teachings. The weakness of gentle receptivity is the spiritual warrior’s greatest strength. Forceful, aggressive strength is the enemy’s greatest weakness. This is because without respect for yin — the inward-flowing receptive openness of the divine feminine, all yang is powerless, impotent, cut off from Source — the center of Life: Creative Power.

Herein hides also the mysteries hinted at in Dan Brown’s novel (later movie), The DaVinci Code.

The consequences of confusing physical gender with energy valence run deep in my personal history. Being diagnosed with a high IQ was regarded by family as a detriment, putting me at risk of being unmarriageable.

The ultimate test came in graduate school after writing a seminar paper on Shakespeare’s “problem plays.” In each, I held, royalty was presented as hypocritical and false . . . a world view consolidated/contained within a single character –Iago — in the following play, Othello.

For this work, I was awarded a three-year NDEA fellowship. Good thing, since parents, who gladly paid for my brother’s medical schooling, made it clear I was on my own when it came to funding further education.

Overjoyed, I phoned to tell my then-fiance the great news. He broke up with me on the spot. Said it made me better than him — which he couldn’t bear.

Good riddance.

The kicker came a few months later. Mom asked what happened to George. When I told her, the response was a spiteful head nod. “Good for him. Serves you right!”

What????

As Mom reinforced from her own bitter experience, “When you win, you loose.” In her fatalistic opinion, deservedly so.

Quite the inheritance.

It’s time for a long over-due Fresh Start. For all of us. Across the board.

One final caveat. I’m baffled and, frankly, distressed by the amount of publicity promoting JD Vance as if shoe-in for next U.S. president. He’s a loudly advertised convert to Catholicism, and seems likely to be used as an inadvertent puppet of Vatican interests.

Is he naive? Has he taken surface promises at face value, unaware of deep dark undercurrents quite the inverted opposite of surface appearances? What emotional hooks have been sunk into his psyche, with potential for future exploitation, to America’s future detriment?

I cringed at sight of priests in Rome with hands on his children. Surely, one would think, he would know far better than to allow them within range of their unholy grasp.

What’s wrong with that picture?

An after thought:

The Quantum Life Wheel puts into logical perspective (and annihilates) the Vatican position, backed by globalist agenda thinking, that because we are all one, it is okay for foreign nations to empty their prisons, permitting the worst of the worst to cross American borders illegally. It is okay for illegals to rape, murder and pillage and we owe them our compassion and mercy — funding, free phones, health services and housing.

At the Center we are all one. But on the surface, not at all. This is mere metaphysical double-speak, confusion, again: PERVERSION.

Survival can mean many things, depending on your point of view.

In Quantum Paradigm context, its far deeper than one’s transient mortal frame.

Even were I to live one-hundred years, that would be a mere blip on the quantum radar screen, which encompasses past, present and future lives all the way into eternity.

In quantum context, survival depends upon linking surface to center of the Quantum Life Wheel, consciously connecting with the single eternal creative source from which all life emanates and to which it ultimately returns.

At an earlier time, I worked with the survival word in the context of the e=energy middle level of the Life Wheel. Going one step inwards from the exclusively materialistic plane — becoming aware of the energy dynamics embodied in Natural Law which drive external results — seemed like an important step forward towards increasing self-awareness.

An excerpt from an earlier book explains:

“In the 2000 millennial year, the title I assigned to the 64 Essays was The Ultimate Personal Survival Guide. It came from a brainstorming session with a business consultant. We were discussing how to market The Common Sense Book of Change.

“She was unfamiliar with the I Ching, so we went back and forth with questions and answers about its use and value. Finally, she sat back and blinked. ‘It sounds like the
ultimate personal survival guide,’ she concluded.

“She’d hit the nail right on the head. She got it!”

Later, in the book called Rethinking Survival, I expanded the use of the survival word. From the Introduction:

“Survival is a primal word. It means to LIVE, the alternative being extinction. Survival is the bottom line. In a life or death situation, the natural instinct is to survive at the cost of everything else. The basics must be secured first. If you’re dead, thriving isn’t
an option.

“However, as the title suggests, the focus of Rethinking Survival isn’t on “how to” survive. Here, survival implies that there’s more than martial arts skills, back woods know-how and environmental smarts to staying alive. It requires self-knowledge and a connection to one’s deepest roots of origin, as well as a powerful, clearly defined and positive purpose for living.

“It also requires an educated sense of timing: an acute awareness of alternating cycles — natural pendulum swings between extremes of expansion and contraction — along with the will and patience to ride them out.”

Why am I revisiting the evolution of my use of the survival word now?

Because of recent exposure of a perversion of the subject: a small elite grasping for physical longevity at the expense of the rest of us. In a Tucker Carlson interview, we’re told that millions of tax payer money has gone missing, dedicated to building underground bunker-like bases intended to avoid and outlast extinction-level events. Catherine Fitts: Bankers vs. the West, Secret Underground Bases, and the Oncoming Extinction Event.

How can I count the myriad ways this myopic (ultimately foolish and futile) project misses the mark?

Not enough time.

But I do wonder — now that this covert misdirection of our monies has been exposed to the public, what will become of these properties? Will they revert to government use? To the people? Or . . . ?

More importantly, how could we better use our resources, dedicate them towards optimizing genuine survival of the greatest number?

In a previous post, I anticipated an event that would change everything: As for TQS [The Quantum Solution], it’s still writing itself. Have very strong feeling an event’s coming down the pike which will influence content/approach. Waiting for its arrival.

There, I described a personal shock which has since been reduced to Part I of that arrival.

Part II arrived in my feed early morning on the portal day of 04/04, four minutes after publication: The Man Who Saved America.

Patrick Byrne is the yet-to-be acknowledged hero of the day. He saved the nation from within a hair’s breadth of calculated collapse and intentional destruction.

Here is his story in his own words. After which, I’ll first summarize its implications and then provide the I Ching‘s vision of recalibrated global dynamics set in motion by a heroic journey taken on humanity’s behalf.

We came close to losing the entire constitutional Republic of the United States of America — as close as the bullet’s one-half inch flight that grazed Trump’s head. . .  

On Election Day, November 5th 2024, they thought they had it wired. They would never allow an election that they knew they would lose. But they got the rug pulled out from under them.  

We’ve spent several years getting to the bottom of this. We know just how it works. There are 15 cheating techniques. Fourteen of them are on the ground — ways you know about. They’re very sophisticated people. They study each county and based on its laws and practices, they choose method B, E and K. 

They cheat as much as they can in these different ways on the ground. But then, on election night at 7:01 pm when the polls close, they come in from Serbia. 

There’s an office from Serbia that comes in through a back door. 

Your computer has a hard drive. It has RAM: random access memory. It’s a virtual machine. It’s like a second machine that’s inside your machine. It’s a technology that’s been around a couple of decades. 

And from that ghost machine from Serbia, they access the hard drive and change everything they want, including the images. Then – puff! It disappears. There’s no almost no record whatsoever it was there. They closed the connection. 

That’s why they fought so hard against people getting to inspect the hard drives. Because you can find it, if you know what you’re looking for. You can find the connectivity. . .  

Kamala Harris was completely confident of winning. Which is why on election night she didn’t have a concession speech. They thought it was completely in the bag. 

So the question is, What happened?

What did happen is that the Serbian office — which incidentally is staffed by military intelligence from Serbia and China. Serbia is a western satellite of China. It’s staffed by military intelligence. They can jam any result they want to jam. 

But they got neutralized. There are some real American heroes who did their job. They neutralized that operation. 

And get this! It turns out [Serbia’s] been doing this for twenty years in 72 nations.

There’s a military institute in China. They study every democracy. For twenty years, they have been altering who wins in the school board level, the police, the captains — every elected position, moving up. In the last five years, they got to the top. 

The Chinese goal is to overthrow the West without firing a shot. Yeah. That’s fifth-generational warfare. You don’t even know that you’re under attack, or who your enemy is.  

It turns out that the politicians are not truly getting elected by the people. They’re getting chosen by people in Serbia. They are bending the arc of the West so that it crashes into a brick wall. 

People really need to understand. And President Trump understands it in these terms. 

China is the driving force. China is the Chairman of the Board. The operators are Cuba and Venezuela. They’re the frontline. Iran’s been the paymaster. There’s been a transfer pricing mechanism out of Iran so we couldn’t see payments among these parties. 

China is at the top, in the background. They’re the master strategist. They make the final calls. They’ve been shaping who wins elections. They can’t change things 20%. But they can change them 5-10%. They’ve almost collapsed the West. . . .

U.S. flexed its muscle on the global stage to defend China. We helped them in the 80s and the 90s. We transferred all this knowledge. And it turns out their plan all along has been to subvert and overthrow us. They had 20 year plan . . .  

It starts with the Venezuelan government-mafia . . .  you need to corrupt the election system. That way you never can get dislodged. That election system got commercialized as a company called Smartmatic.  It ended up in as the core technology of all the major [voting machine] manufacturers.

You’re voting on Venezuelan mafia-controlled software. Chinese hardware components come from a factory 60 miles outside of Beijing. The components are sent to Taiwan, where they’re assembled on an assembly line. And at the end of the assembly line, they get the right logo on them. Dominion. But it’s the same assembly line where these components are assembled. 

NOW we now know exactly how they did it. Through this virtual machine method created in the RAM. We can demonstrate it on the machines where we’ve had access to.  

In 2020, they couldn’t find out how it was done. They thought there must be some hidden script cloaked and buried in the machine somewhere. It turns out it’s done through this method from Serbia. . . .

How far did I go? Venezuela now has a $25 million hit on me.  They want me kidnapped. They believe I interfered in their July 28^th election. Something happened that disrupted their ability to rig their election and they seemed to think I know something about this. . .  

Someday people are going to understand, Biden’s 2020 election was an act of war from foreign nations that was supposed to be the end of the American Republic. . . .  

I’ve spent two years overseas basically trying to get to the bottom of the Venezuelan government. I had some cybersecurity experts working with me trying to penetrate the Venezuelan government. It was being run out of multiple countries. . .  

I did blow my fortune. I have a couple investments left. But I’ve sold my houses, my stocks and bonds to fund this $70 million effort for the last four years. . .  

I had a friend who played in the NBA. He was murdered ultimately. He said there were those players in the NBA who liked to be the guy who gets the ball with five seconds left, with one point behind. My friend wanted to be the clutch player. But this was kind of thrust upon me. I’m just one of a group of a couple dozen who worked this project. 

But we got to the bottom of things. . . We only got the answer with about with two months to spare. It took until ten days before the election for the information get to the right place it needed to get to. 

But that was able to stop this election from being stolen. 

If Trump had not won, we would have gone full totalitarian. 

I don’t want to get ahead of the story. The story’s going to come out in due time. 

To summarize:  

. . . What’s going on is, China has been bending the narrative — the historical arc of the West — to get us to smash into a brick wall. Everything that’s been going on for twenty years — electing politicians who open the borders to flood the house in Europe — those people aren’t really getting elected. 

If you wonder why it’s almost surreal, yeah. It’s all getting twisted and turned out of Serbia by Chinese military intelligence officers. It has been for twenty years. Then they just pay the influencers and the media to back it up. . .  

Tina Peters was actually acting as federal officer. She did exactly the right thing. She was absolutely right. The 2020 election was absolutely stolen. And we now know it was stolen. The forensics showed that something crazy happened in the election. But they couldn’t explain it. There’s something created in the machine — a new database. Everything was moved over. Some things were altered. But the forensic guys couldn’t find out how that happened. 

But now we know. We know it was an office in Serbia. It came on and altered everything. We have all the proof. Right down to the DNA level. Yes. It did in fact happen. . . .

This information needs to come out so the American people know. President Trump could have a three-day Watergate-like hearing. This could all be presented. 

There’s no argument. We can demonstrate everything. We have the actual images of several counties that the other side doesn’t know we have. We can actually demonstrate in these images. And it happens all over the country. It happens in the key counties that matter.  

Once it’s exposed, it can’t happen again. 

It means that Trump was not the tyrant trying to clutch to power. He was the patriot trying to defend his country.

IMPLICATIONS

The implications of Byrne’s reveal are profound. We’re being challenged (given the opportunity) to rethink everything we thought we knew about elections and selected government officials. Nothing is what it has seemed. Who are our friends? Who our enemies? Whom we can trust and whom not?

What will we do with this powerful, game-changing information? Where do we as a nation — as a world — choose to proceed from here?

In effect, we’ve been given a second chance, to start over, begin fresh, run the selection process differently and much better.

After watching Byrne’s mind-blowing reveal, I queried the I Ching. I wrote in my journal, asking, “How will this amazing information affect the world going forward, knowing that for twenty years, election results in 72 nations were altered by China and its surrogates, pushing the world in the direction of Bolshevik annihilation?”

The answer received was Hexagram 36, SHADOW, with changing lines in the first two places, resulting in the outcome of Hexagram 46, PROMOTION (ascension).

Hexagram 36 looks like this:

This would seem to reflect the experience of Trump, Byrne and American patriots after the 2020 election. More than that, we’ve been kept in the dark, for a very long time.

Fortunately, patriots dismissed by mainstream media as “election deniers,” didn’t give up on their ideals, but persisted through to today’s amazing reversals and reveals.

The advice of the changing line in the bottom place reads, “Only unselfish motives and moderate actions will meet with success.” Certainly Byrne’s motives were unselfish. He risked and sacrificed all he had, knowing exactly what was at stake, working persistently to neutralize a web of deceit and manipulation. When the advice is heeded, it changes to Hexagram 15, BALANCE.

The advice of the changing line in the second place reads, “Turn misfortunes to advantage. Outgrow the obstacles that block your path.”

In this case, the clouds of oppression, misinformation and secret manipulation are now in the process of being lifted. Bad actors are being exposed who they are, what they’ve been doing, and what their agenda actually is. This exposure yields an opportunity to reverse corruption and return the nation to its original vision and values.

When heeded, the line changes to form Hexagram 11, PEACE, which reads in part:

Easy communication makes it possible for people to understand one another. This leads to cooperative efforts that will be fruitful. Avoid disorder.

The combined changing lines result in Hexagram 46:

This dynamic seems to be the most advantageous way to benefit from the current opportunities for positive change now opening on all levels.

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.
