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.
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.
Why would deep state controllers of the Democratic party choose the time of an intensely conflicted, super blue full moon for their national convention? It’s a prescription for mayhem. Emotions will run high. Conflicts are bound to arise. Neither common sense nor good will are likely to prevail.
Who benefits from such dynamics? Who doesn’t?!!!!!
What does this tell you about the DNC and the deep state?
The timing makes sense if you look at this way.
The far left, globalist agenda is antithetical to the founding values of the country, not to mention the well-being of its citizens here and now. Grotesque puppet candidates necessarily have little to offer in terms of substance, be it of ideas or character. “Nothing to see here. So look there.”
What can we expect from the convention?
Like dictators in ancient Rome, the only option organizers have for wining over the masses is deception. Their bottom-line tactic is to distract and appease with diversions. Bread, a circus or gladiator slaughter will all do the trick.
To mix a metaphor, what comes to mind is offering kids sugar-coated cereals made from highly refined grains for breakfast. Yummy. They’ll gladly gulp down these tasty treats. The only drawbacks are these: in the short-term, the side-effect is hyperactive, over-anxious kids, with long-term prospects of diabetes, arthritis and a host other chronic diseases to look forward to.
Be that as it may, we already have rumblings in the mainstream news of what lies ahead. It’s the image of violence: Pro-Palestinian protesters march in Chicago ahead of DNC. And, even ahead of the convention, Harris is protesting too much that her economic proposals are Democratic, NOT Communist. She’s setting the tone for the event: the no-so-gentle art of double-speak.
We can expect that each of the four daily, cringe-worthy topics will overflow with denials, sleight-of-hand misrepresentations and sugar-coated empty slogans. “Pay attention to appearances. Believe what we say; ignore what we intend and what we’re actually doing.”
Monday – For the People
Tuesday – A Bold Vision for America’s Future
Wednesday – A Fight for Our Freedoms
Thursday – For Our Future
As an aside, it’s not a coincidence (and one that requires remedy), that the content of public school curriculum currently lacks the critical thinking skills required to recognize and counteract manipulative double-speak, leaving most of the current population vulnerable to control . . . a set up for slavery that accords with the globalist agenda, the exact antithesis of personal freedom and sovereignty.
The many aspects of the e=energy level of quantum life wheel are made taboo in a “scientific” environment. As a result, the tools for cultivating self-discipline and self-awareness (emotional intelligence) are off limits. So is awareness of the natural timing of events inherent in astrology. Bad guys intentionally hoard this information (of which this extraordinarily chaotic full moon is an example) to themselves, manipulating events to their advantage, while leaving the rest of us blind-sided as to what is going on and why.
The I Ching, the Chinese Book of Change, is one of the self-awareness tools that can be brought to bear on the current situation.
The outcome of events would change greatly for the better were it a part of our education and every day use.
For example, I queried the Common Sense Book of Change, asking, “What is the best way to deal with current diversions and intentional mayhem?”
The original answer was Hexagram 44, TEMPTATION, with changing lines in the 5th and 6th places, resulting in the final outcome of Hexagram 32, PERMANENCE.
Hexagram 44, which represents the immediate situation, looks like this:
TEMPTATION
If unethical people or ideas enter the situation, recognize the possible danger of giving in to TEMPTATION at once. Taking a disciplined stand against evil can prevent it from taking over. Not every temptation brings harm, however. Decide whether cooperation would produce creative growth or destructive chaos. Avoid all addictions.
In this example, the immediate situation is not static. It holds the potential to evolve and change If advice and warnings are heeded.
The advice of the changing line in the fifth position reads, “Harmonize with your higher self. Then everything will work out.” It changes to Hexagram 50, SACRIFICE, which reads in part:
Changing selfishness to compassion and acts of kindness builds bridges of mutual trust. Unselfish giving benefits everyone involved, helping the community to overcome obstacles and dangers.
The warning of the changing line in the top, sixth position reads, “Being smug and self-righteous will alienate others and invite harm.” It changes to Hexagram 28, INNER STRENGTH, which reads in part:
When difficult situations come to a head, rely on Inner Strengthto endure. If it becomes necessary to retreat, do so with courage and self confidence.
I conclude that the best response at this time is to back off from chaos. Overcome dangers by confidently walking away from the temptation to engage in emotional confrontations that intentionally distract from the common good.
The combined changing lines result in the final Hexagram of 32, which looks like this:
PERMANENCE
Search for PERMANENCE in the timeless wisdom of all ages. Human events repeat themselves in well-ordered patterns over many generations. Although the actors change, the values they pass on through their examples endure. Nothing of permanent value is ever lost. Live worthy of your heritage. Avoid disrespect for traditions.
Return to the abiding, timeless values built into the U.S. Constitution at the time of the country’s inception. Reverse as abhorrent the globalists’ disrespectful violations thereof.
Is this not a viable remedy for the far left’s current manipulations, misdirection and mayhem?
Yesterday, three separate videos appeared in my YouTube feed each speaking to the strategy Donald Trump should adopt to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election. After giving each of them a listen, I decided to query the I Ching, the venerable Chinese Book of Change, regarding the correct strategy needed to win.
Here I summarize the three commentaries, then compare them with the I Ching‘s point of view.
Peter Navarro, a former advisor to former President Donald Trump, was filling in as the host for Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Real America’s Voice and had some campaign advice for his old boss.
While addressing Trump’s campaign strategy of personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris during a broadcast on Monday, Navarro — a Trump loyalist who served jail time refusing to cooperate with a Congressional investigation of the January 6 insurrection, which Bannon is serving time for now — said that what worked for him before may not work this time around, especially in battleground states:
He needs votes, and the current rally formula is simply not sufficiently focused on the very stark policy differences between him and Kamala Harris that will swing voters in key battleground states. Instead, when Trump attacks Harris personally rather than on policy, Harris’s supportamong swing voters rises, particularly among women.
The problem you have with giant figures like Donald Trump is that people tend to tell him what he wants to hear, rather than what he needs to hear. But clearly the last three weeks have been difficult. In hindsight, chosing to debate Biden before the Democratic convention was a catastrophic error.
It’s just less than 90 days to the election. It’s less than half that to early voting. The question is, “What is the strategy going to be?”
A Trump rally speech now is usually scripted red meat for the Trump base. The current rally formula is simply not sufficiently focused on the very stark policy differences — policy differences — between him and Kamala Harris.
When Trump attacks Harris personally rather than on policy, Harris’s support among swing voters rises.
—–
Interestingly, this view could have been taken from RFK Jr.’s play book. Stick exclusively to the issues that matter to the American people. Avoid the vitriol!
—–
Karol Markowicz agrees:
Anybody who wants Donald Trump to win would tell him run on the issues. Your support will rise if you remind people that just before COVID, their lives were going great, the economy was going great, the country was going in a good direction. No wars. He has an argument to make.
But he keeps falling back into this childish name-calling. That resonates with his base, but the base is already there. They’re already coming to vote for him. He needs the swing voter who’s saying, “Wow. I’m actually thinking about voting for Donald Trump. . . ” but he keeps pushing them away.
The Trump campaign keeps saying that Kamala is not talking to the press. Trump should maybe talk to the press just a little bit less, and to likely swing voters more.
Kelly lists Navarro’s prescribed campaign strategy:
First, the former president should immediately begin entering into an interactive “jumbotron” policy dialogue with Harris. Once Kamala’s words are played, then offer his contrasting side, most importantly offering a set of concrete solutions. Second, before each rally, Trump should hold a press conference with different officials on specific issues. For example, with Rick Grinnell on foreign policy. Specifically detail what happened during Biden-Harris and what Trump would do differently were he to be placed in the Oval Office again.
Third, focus on conversations with American citizens harmed by the Biden-Harris administration policies. In Pennsylvania, you’d have fracking workers who have lost their jobs. Put that in the middle of the rallies. Forth, rallies must start on time and only last 55 minutes. Less is more.
Third, in The Trump team must go on offense, Steve Forbes discusses his article, Here’s How Trump Can Defeat Kamala Harris – And How He Can Lose, with Larry Kudlow.
He warns against flip flopping. What Trump must do is stick to message. Keep hammering home the very basic issues. Don’t try to be humorous. Stick to taxes, the economy, inflation, the border and national security. Keep asking, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
Don’t get sidetracked on her — what she does or doesn’t do. Just focus on those issues. People want to know, “How do we move ahead?”
We can turn this around. In three weeks, we’ve seen a flip flop. Who could have thought that she would be the new second coming? But in three to five weeks, it can flip again.
Be prepared. . . Go on the offense. Say, “Look what’s happened in national defense. Why do we have to send those assets to the Middle East. . . . Look at the reduction in defense spending in a very dangerous world which Biden-Harris have made even more dangerous.”
Trump has to emphasize, “We don’t have the infrastructure to build the weaponry that we need.” He should make the point that this is the most dangerous period in international affairs since the 1930s. And we know where that led, because of catastrophic mistakes made by people who believed in appeasement. These people believe in appeasement.
. . . he’s got to tell himself, “This is it. Only 80-85 days left. I just have to focus on this like those runners at the Olympics.” They don’t think about anything else. Just focus on getting across that finish line.”
In contrast, here’s the approach to campaign strategy received in response to the query, “Please advise as to what strategy will win the 2024 presidential election.”
At first, the response surprised me, though on second thought, it makes good sense.
The result is Hexagram 20, AWARENESS, with a changing line in the third place that results in Hexagram 53, DEVELOPMENT.
Hexagram 20 reads in part:
Seek increased AWARENESS of the patterns which underlie natural events. Tune yourself to the Creative Source of natural change. . . Human relationships will become smooth. Mistakes of miscalculation will be prevented. Avoid unnatural leaders.
Right now, the underlying pattern (habitual, if not natural), is for the Soros-funded, Obama-driven far left to select and put forward a pliable, useful non-entity who can be used as the face of the deep-state machine. The best, appropriate and correct strategy is to not be fooled. Don’t be distracted by the false face. Because it doesn’t matter much who the convenient puppet of the moment is. Prevent the miscalculated mistake of taking empty faces seriously. Instead, focus on the very real dangers being orchestrated by behind-scenes controllers — and their quantum solutions.
The warning, “Avoid unnatural leaders” rings especially true. Biden, Harris and VP pick Walz are each extraordinarily inauthentic political figures. So a winning strategy would contrast these false and fake players’ misrepresentations with a viable candidate’s truthful sincerity.
Contrast them, for example, with RFK Jr., an avid outdoors man who repeatedly affirms the sage-like, I Ching compatible view that Nature Connects Us To God.
Moving on, the changing line in the third place reads, “Learn about yesterday to understand today and plan for tomorrow.” This accords, for example, with the advice not to repeat the historical mistake of appeasement mentioned by Steve Forbes. Contrast the strong stance Trump takes against international foes with the example of apologetic weakness set by Obama and continued forward by the current deep state machine.
The result of heeding the advice of the third line is Hexagram 53, DEVELOPMENT. It reads in part:
A calm attitude and gentle actions will bring steady progress leading to success. Giving in to strong feelings and acting on impulse would defeat your purpose. Avoid hesitation. Avoid haste.
In other words, make carefully timed, deliberate and purposeful moves. Be ware of the temptation to take rash, irrational actions. The winning strategy is to act with impeccable timing . . . to Be AWARE of what to say and do when, consistent with intentional, positive goals that serve the survival interests of the human community.
Sitting on the edge of my bed, rocking back and forth.
Mentally composing blogs.
Asking, asking, asking.
Why has this country, founded on such noble, spiritual values, devolved so drastically? How have we arrived at this crazy, dark place?
More importantly, is it still possible to come back from the brink? If so, how? Is there a way to restore sanity, balance, and wisdom to the world?
How can I help? Now!
What’s the method in this madness? The 2024 Democratic Convention will be held in Chicago, a city known for its violence. Astrologically, its dates — August 19-22 — coincide with the most violent potentials of the year.
Astrologer Rich Levine, for example, calls it a time of “Cosmic Whiplash.”The description in the comments section begins, “The summer of 2024 will be long remembered for the dynamic events that shocked and rocked the status quo.”
Now, it is expected that Vice-President Harris, a singularly unqualified and unpopular figure will be “anointed” as the democratic presidential candidate. She’s known to have acquired political status through her personal relationships (to put it politely). Her qualifications are further tarnished by her George Soros connection, having served as a Soros-paid District Attorney:
George and Alex Soros spend tens of millions of dollars each election cycle. Shortly after Biden’s announcement on Sunday, Alex Soros wrote, “It’s time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump. She is the best and most qualified candidate we have. Long live the American Dream!”
Most qualified we have? God help us. She’s widely regarded as an inarticulate, incompetent moron. For example, when challenged for not once having visited the border during her reign as the designated “border czar,” her non sequitor response was, “I haven’t been to Europe either.”
That such a candidate could nominated to the highest office of the most powerful nation in the world seems like a very bad, if dangerous, joke. Soros is thumbing his nose at us, funding a nightmare — the antithesis of the American dream.
On the premise that there are no accidents, that nothing is coincidental, it’s natural to wonder, “What’s the method behind the madness of the democratic convention’s chaotic location and timing?” More to the practical point, “What’s the most appropriate, beneficial response?”
With these questions in mind, I quieted my mind and then queried the I Ching, the venerable Chinese Book of Change, asking, “Please advise as to the correct way to approach chaotic times.”
The answer was Hexagram 51, SHOCK, with no changing lines. It looks like this:
It often seems to me as if the madness of exacerbating chaos is exactly to foster fear and foolish reactions. . . to quash reasoned responses and sovereign behavior. The best countermeasure is exactly to quiet the mind, think carefully, and come to optimal, self-protective decisions.
Therefore, I’m made a list of questions I’d like to put to the I Ching between now and the 2025 installment of the next president. They include questions about Donald Trump, RFK Jr., Kamala Harris, and much more.
If you have a specific question you’d like addressed, feel free to ask it below. I’ll gladly respond.
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.
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 tounify 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.
. . . 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.
I want to draw your attention to the timeless Laws of the Universe.
The subject may seem abstract to you, perhaps unrelatable.
But I promise, they have not only a profound affect on your mental health, physical well-being and personal relationships, but also – as I’m focusing on here — they have practical applications to the current election process.
So follow along with me, if you will, to arrive at the destination towards which this metaphysical premise leads.
Let’s start with the Principles of the Order of the Universe. Michio Kushi lists twelve, of which the first six are:
Everything is a differentiation of ONE infinity.
Everything changes.
All antagonisms are complimentary.
There is nothing identical.
What has a front has a back.
The bigger the front, the bigger the back.
Put simply, every coin has two sides.
In I Ching terms, it is a given that extreme yin changes to extreme yang. Extreme yang (strength, virtue) changes to extreme yin (weakness, vice). Thus, for example, a belligerent display of control and dominance often masks the opposite extreme of fragile insecurity. Extreme righteousness has within it the potential for perversion. Conversely, beneath a crusty, harsh exterior may rest an opposite and equally generous heart of gold.
The necessary remedy to misunderstandings, backfires and tragedy is to avoid extremes by respecting, balancing, and harmonizing the energetic valances of yin and yang:
History and literature abound with examples of extreme imbalance. General George S. Patton, for example, comes to mind as a brilliant leader whose personality flaws were the catalyst of his undoing.
Greek tragedies demonstrate the essence of the law in action: hubris. The hero’s greatest strength, ironically, becomes the instrument of his downfall.
Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, whose seductively impeccable exterior masked the deeds of a fiendish villain, captures the clash of extremes.
The origins and practical results of this dynamic are described in How Bad People Become Leaders. Long story short, the dilemma is that:
. . . in the prevailing, exclusively materialistic empirical science paradigm, the center is ruled out. Intuition is denied. Emotions and energy aren’t accounted for. All that matters are concrete tangibles and physical image. A leader’s motives and intentions are known only when it’s too late – after the selection has been made and the (sometimes regrettable) results come in.
Literal, empirical standards, judging at face value, fail to account for the universal principle that whatever has a front has a back. Moreover, the larger the front, the larger the back.
A “scientific” leadership selection process takes into account only that which is measurable and/or observable, for example academic IQ or skin color.
Intangibles like the presence or absence of cultivated emotional intelligence (street smarts) fly under the radar, as do ethical intelligence, creativity and a capacity for visionary insight.
When selectors judge only by appearances, it’s easy to deceive them. As Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all of the people some of some of the time, and some of the people all of the time.” For an ambitious con artist, those are pretty good odds.
An immediate and important practical example is the flawed selection process (in this case, of a U.S. president) which elected a leader who was, in the extreme, not what he seemed to be, to the detriment . . . even potential undoing . . . of a nation.
In Why Thomas Sowell Doesn’t Think Obama Is A Socialist, we’re told how Obama used executive orders to make end-runs around Congress, landing the nation in a world of hurt. According to Sowell, beneath the front of socialist humanism was the shadow side of outright fascism.
Fast forward to 2024. The U.S. finds itself struggling in the throws of a catastrophic presidency under an incapacitated leader functioning, for all practical purposes, as an Obama surrogate, using the same strategy of issuing executive orders to bypass the powers of Congress to further dismantle the nation.
Right now, it is imperative to recognize the dynamics at play in order to, at all costs, prevent yet another Obama surrogate from being snuck in under the wire at the last moment to replace Biden.
Granted, there are no innocents. To one degree or another, none of the presidential candidates is free from the shadows that lurk behind out-of-balance personas. How could it be otherwise? Our high energy leaders haven’t been trained in the universal principles of the I Ching, or in the ancient energy sciences. They’ve not been taught what their energy truly is, much less how to discipline it, avoid its pitfalls – particularly in terms of sexual behavior, or how to harness energies (one’s own as well as of others) to reach intentional goals. (Vivek Ramaswami, given his background, might be an exception.)
Insightfully, Ramaswami puts his finger on the pulse of current campaign dynamics:
The president really is a symbol: a puppet for a machine underneath it that’s really driving most of the policy decisions. That’s not conspiratorial or accusational. It’s just a descriptive reality of how Washington DC works today. The people we elect to run the government are not the ones actually running the government. Nowhere is that more true than in the case of Joe Biden, who is only in some in nominal sense the president of the United States. I don’t think in any real actual true sense he really is the president.
Which is part of why I’ve long advised . . . that the way that we need to win this election isn’t just by criticizing Biden. Frankly, Biden isn’t going to be the nominee, as I’ve said for the last year and a half.
The way we’re going to actually win not only this election, but revive this country, is by defining who we are and what we stand for. What values are we’re actually advancing?
Amen to that!
In fact, that’s why independent candidate RFK Jr.’s campaign, which intentionally focuses upon American values, is increasingly gaining traction with Americans across a broad political spectrum.
Bottom line: In choosing which candidate to vote for, don’t be distracted by superficial personalities — whether they’re likeable or not. Choose to overlook their inevitable human flaws with compassion. Instead, focus on their declared values, and whether their words are backed by consistent action. Do they intend to revive this country? Are they committed to furthering the well-being of American citizens with positive action?
To avoid tragically putting more bad leaders in place, let’s make demonstrated, sincerely held traditional American values — along with universal human truths — the standard of our selection process.
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.
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.
Today, Friday, June 14th of the year 2024, my early morning process of Pause and Pivot spoke to me in a way that, upon reflection, was speaking to you as well.
For that reason, I’m sharing the outcome with you here.
Its amazon book description sums the concept up well:
An exquisite gem of a book, this deceptively simple technique of contemplation can be learned in a single day, and yet it will change your life forever. Taking us through the three levels of contemplation – pausing, pivoting and merging, Richard Rudd invites us to hone the art of contemplation in our everyday lives, to gain insight into any issue or problem, to heal deep-seated trauma and ultimately to find peace and clarity.
In my own case, morning contemplation begins with consulting the Book of Change.
This morning, after lighting a white candle, I paused and then wrote at the top of a new page in my journal:
BHF. OA & MDF. I’m out of sorts. Can’t breathe deeply. Fragmented. Scattered. Without clear direction. Please advise what to be aware of NOW. With humble thanks, Amen.
The answer to this query was Hexagram 48 with changing lines in the fifth and sixth places, resulting in (yet again, from a new direction) the frequently received outcome of Hexagram 18: FRESH START.
In the Common Sense Book of Change, Hexagram 48 looks like this:
In several versions of the I Ching, Hexagram 48 is translated as The Well, referring to the traditional center of rural communities where all gather to meet their basic survival need for water.
In poetic terms, the Well represents our universal, endless and unlimited connection with infinite Source. The vitality of all races represented by water is associated with the basic life force, the chi exchanged, whether knowingly or unknowingly, by every living being on the planet with every in- and out-breath.
To my mind, this reading spoke to my unasked question — a deep frustration. The excruciating conflict between Israel and Iranian surrogates, including Hamas, feels to my heart like two sides of the same coin warring with each other.
The exclusion of patriots Steve Bannon and Alex Jones from the camp of another patriot, RFK Jr,. over apparently superficial personality differences, seems equally unnatural and short-sighted.
What my despairing heart wanted to know was, “What, if anything, could induce humanity to wake up? To end the mutually self-destructive dynamics of judgmental conflict — “othering.”
The I Ching answer’s was this. It will happen when we finally learn to see deeper than cultural identifications, remember and respect our common origin, which the mindful are made aware of with every breath they take.
In my own scattered case, I was being called back to the basics which sustain me. Stop. Pause and pivot away from culturally conditioned pessimism, the grinding sense of the futility of any effort. Return back to the basics. Breathe. Deeply.
But the changing lines directed me to continue further.
The changing line in the fifth place reads, “If you refuse to serve others, your gifts are wasted.”
Ouch! Caught in the act.
I’ve been flirting with undermining ideas about both the futility and risks of writing. Who am I to openly confront the forces which drive the deep state and its globalist objectives — depopulation and subjugation?
Would this not just expose me to the same destructive tactics which frontline patriots endure? Or to simply being ignored. Ridiculed. Relegated to oblivion.
The advice of this line, which heeded, changes to Hexagram 46, PROMOTION. The method and result of accepting responsibility to dedicate my gifts, however modest, to serving humanity are described as: Quiet, persistent self–discipline wins the confidence of others.
Moving on, the changing line in the top, sixth place reflects the opposite side of the coin. It reinforces the value of committing to service, regardless of the consequences.
It reads, “Sharing your gifts will bring blessings and prosperity to many.”
Sigh. Back to the drawing board.
I could speculate on the levels and layers of possible potential. But will let this line speak for itself, sparking imagination about the waves generated by the butterfly effect even one person’s commitment to service sets in motion. And by extension, the combined effect generated by each one of the rest of us as well.
When its advice is heed, this line changes to Hexagram 57, GENTLENESS.
Ah. Coincidentally, The Art of Contemplation is described as the GENTLE path to wholeness and prosperity.
Hexagram 57 reads in part: As the wind moves clouds, shapes mountains, and stirs the trees, so Gentleness has a powerful influence. Quiet, steady gradual actions win respect and cooperation.Avoid noisy conflict.
There it is again. Quiet persistent action seems key.
The combined outcome, Hexagram18, FRESH START, suggests the hopeful potential of returning to universal awareness of humanity’s original origins in Source, releasing short-sighted rationalizations for refusing to serve the whole, and instead dedicating one’s life to that goal.
It offers the hope of a fresh start, first for individuals. Then for the civilization. And, ultimately, for human survival.
I would be remiss were I not to mention that Fresh Start is the subject of the concluding chapter of The Quantum Solution. Chapter Five,It’s Time for a Fresh Start is still writing itself as information new to me comes to attention.
But in the meantime, you’re welcome to pause, pivot and take a look, if you’re so inclined.
In India, the ancients began their daily yogic practice by chanting the Vedic prayer, “Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from the unreal to the real.”
They were operating from the quantum definition of Education, which is “to lead to the light; to enlighten.” They lived from a complete and accurate paradigm, discerning the important difference between the m=mass level of the Life Wheel (the ephemeral and therefore “unreal”) and the more inward levels of c=light and silent core Center, the Source of Light (the eternal and hence “real”).
In stark contrast, most of today’s leaders operate from the hollowed out shell of the empirical science paradigm. It rules out everything but the outer, material level of mass — what can be observed, measured, and quantified. What’s called Education is closer to programming, indoctrination and regimentation. Coercion. Because the inner levels of light and Source are excluded from their awareness, leading to light isn’t an option.
In these dark times, it’s becoming increasingly urgent to restore the ancient definition of Education. Because returning to inner light has become a matter of human survival. And leading towards the light is, rightly, by definition, the primary function of true leaders.
Further, returning to the pristine definition of Power is essential to restoring true leadership. True leaders acknowledge the eternal Center of the Life Wheel as the Source of their creative power. Mere politicians who wield surface control through military force, media manipulation and resource allocation miss the mark. In Power vs Force. David R. Hawkins makes the difference between them crystal clear.
An example is Tucker Carlson’s interview with Xi Van Fleet, a survivor of Mao’s cultural revolution. She observed that what’s going on in U.S. now is a repeat of her nightmarish past. She told Tucker that Mao’s Communist elite dominated the media with an iron fist. They controlled public education, rewriting history, because they craved absolute power over the masses.
Bottom line: restoring the language is a necessary first step towards defeating the deep state and its drivers: the globalists. Returning to the perennial philosophy which underpins the world’s truth traditions as well as the quantum paradigm which supports the unified field theory follows.
Importantly, RFK Jr., Donald Trump, General Michael Flynn, Vivek Ramaswami, Alex Jones and Steve Bannon (however greatly their personal styles differ) all agree that a forging a viable future for the nation depends upon successfully returning to the basic American values originally set forth by its founders.
In this quantum worldview, We the People have genuine power. Tyrants don’t. They can fool themselves (and sometimes us) by puffing themselves up, calling themselves powerful. But all they’ve got is mere force. Coercion. Control and dominance. Globalists are hollow, empty shells operating on the flimsiest of paradigms.
We the People overcome these wannabe tyrants by remembering our power and cooperating, joining forces, uniting to overcome globalists with spiritual power. Individuals, like single drops of water, may seem small and insignificant. But when unified — joined as an ocean, they become mighty indeed.
On this Abraham-Hicks and Dr. Hawkins agree: one person aligned with Source is more truly powerful than thousands (or millions) who are not. Christ is but one familiar example.
Lao Tze understood this well, as do those worldwide who cherish the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching:
Now, the practical question arises. “How do we get from here to there?” Knowledge, quantum education, remembering who we are, respecting the unity that holds diversity together like the spokes of a wheel.
The resounding theme of “Wake up, wake up, wake up” runs through current commentary.
To what?
First, to the forces behind the globalists, driving their intentions and actions. But not it’s not enough to expose their horrific, anti-life agenda: what they’re up to and why. Second, it’s to our own inherent power — who we truly are.
It’s time to wake up the “Lambert, the sheepish lion” within each of us.
To this end, quantum Education is KEY. Use popular media, all the arts — every form of communication. in as many languages as possible –to imprint this awareness, vision, on public consciousness. Animate its applications. Publish children’s books and gorgeous, intriguing oracle decks. Make it familiar to every imaginable audience. Accepted most especially by the upcoming generation of leaders.
Make the values inherent in the quantum Life Wheel the common denominator of world civilization going forward. Make it accepted as the concept of what humanity is, what we believe, how we rightly relate to one another: justly, ethically, humbly, with cooperation and respect.
For example, and this is just my personal opinion, of course. But granting that God indeed called RFK Jr. to run for president, we can’t assume that it was for the literal logical reasons one might assume.
Consider that there might have been a higher, longer-term purpose yielding far greater benefits and blessings which only the process of running for president could achieve . . . would give him a platform large and loud enough to bring important but buried, ignored issues of quantum significance clearly before the public.
Win or lose the election, he wins. Because in the process of campaigning, he is raising unity consciousness. The lasting power of the values he represents is far greater than temporary political position. The ability to speak to the hearts and minds of the neglected middle class, the willingness to champion the betrayed younger generation — the power to motivate — is far greater than the leftists’ use of force: fear-mongering and intimidation.
He’s stirring, rekindling dormant hope in We the People. Waking them up. Bringing a host of alienated non-voters out of the woodwork, creating a surge, a Lao Tze-like tsunami, if you like — a willingness to reengage in public discourse.
Parallel to General Flynn’s point, he’s encouraging Americans to once again reinvest their attention and effort, become actively involved in influencing the outcomes of governance. They need to shift from being observers to becoming active participants in in all aspects of the governing process. No one person can do it alone, he insists. But with public support from We the People, he’s willing to do the “heavy lifting.”
But first things first. What’s the use of clear and transparent elections if there are no qualified candidates or quantum-educated voters aware of US history and committed to preserving its values?
Again, first things first. Getting rid of corrupt officials without concurrently working to replace the paradigm that creates corruption in the first place would just result in replacing old faces with new ones. Variations of the same old abuses — individuals vulnerable to being selfishly seduced by greed and power for lack of a unified concept of belonging to an interconnected whole.
So long as “leaders,” much less the populace, are locked in the straitjacket of a false paradigm, operating in the “dark,” the promises of political candidates to achieve this, that and the other goal on the surface remain tragically futile.
First things first. Quantum Education is KEY to positive change.
One final, concluding thought from Buckminster Fuller, with full appreciation for the deeper meaning of Self-educated:
As we approach April 20, the exact date of a rare, historic astrological conjunction that’s been within orb all of April, and will continue in close contact through most of May, speculation abounds over the internet about what this portends. How might it play out, both in our personal lives and on the world stage?
All agree that shocking, unexpected events and shifts in consciousness (for better or worse) are likely to occur, greatly magnified by the expansive nature of Jupiter. Whether these events will be experienced as positive (winning a huge lottery, for example), unsettling or even traumatic, is a “depends.”
“Today, we delve deeper into the upcoming Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20, continuing our week-long focus on this dynamic. We’ve already examined their historical and personal impacts, and today, we shift our perspective to the soul’s evolutionary journey. . . “
I decided to query The Common Sense Book of Change (currently out of print and unavailable) as well as the latest addition to my angel oracle deck collection, Guardian Angels Oracle, for the lower octave dynamics as well as higher octave potentials of this major conjunction. The original I Ching answer was Hexagram Six, Conflict, which reads in part:
CONFLICT develops when one refuses to see the view-point of others. The way out is to be open to others and willing to meet them half-way. Pushing a disagreement to open conflict would result in separation. This would bring unfortunate results.
The original answer is understood as a descriptor of the immediate situation. On the world stage, take your pick.
In the U.S. Congress, for example, impeachment proceedings are going on, not to mention a contentious call for the resignation of the House Speaker. The southern border as well as major cities across the country are in overwhelm as the migrant invasion continues to escalate.
On the political front, presidential candidates are increasingly under pressure and at odds. Donald Trump is under unprecedented (Uranus) legal (Jupiter) assault. Earlier he repeatedly expressed admiration for RFK Jr. However, after an offer of the VP position was declined, like a jilted suitor, DJT changed his tune, describing his opponent as a far-leftist loon.
However, the situation which qualifies as the most extreme of Jupiter-Uranus potentials is the escalating conflict between Israel and Iranian surrogates. Over the weekend of the 13th, Iran upped the ante, for the first time openly initiating a massive attack, potentially sucking the U.S. and Russia on opposing sides into another world war.
As it happens, the news first flashed across my internet feed several hours before mainstream media caught up with it. An assortment of drones and missiles had been fired. Due to the time lag, however, the consequences were as yet unknown: LIVE BREAKING: IRAN STRIKES ISRAEL reported that an attack had been launched. Israel was on high alert. We could only pray and wait with bated breath for what would come next.
Prior to the 13th attack, Elana Danaan contacted Dr. Salla with a message from Thor Han Eredyon. In essence, a “secret deal” involving the Earth Alliance had been reached allowing Iran to save face with its own people without triggering a regional war. Israel was to be warned in advance of Iran’s attack, ensuring that no lives would be lost. The event would facilitate consciousness-raising disclosure of ongoing ET influence, including its opposition to the deep state. [See Dr. Salla’s comments for further information.]

A single changing line in the fourth place of Hexagram 6, Conflict, reads: “Inner chaos causes outer problems. To improve luck, calm down.”
Exactly. By education as well as circumstance, world leaders, be it in government or corporations, are internally conflicted. As a result, so are both their personal lives and the lives of the people they theoretically serve. Were a significant number of them willing and able to resolve this conflict, the outcome of potential change would be Hexagram, 59, which looks like this:
Rather than writing an entire piece on this reading, which is deserves, suffice it to hint at a few of the implications. In terms of presidential election dynamics, the goal of preserving peace and prosperity is shared in common by all sincere parties involved. Candidates on all sides should commit to honoring the ritual transition of power. Dynamics of the coming January 2025 inauguration should in no way be allowed to reflect the conflict of the infamous Jan. 6, 2021 set up.
How this potential for change would apply to the current Israel-Iran conflict is harder to decipher. In part, this is because leaders on both sides are deep-state driven, committed to conflict and unwilling to see others’ points of view.

Here is the commentary of the Guardian Angels Oracle cards drawn asking the same question regarding the lower as well as higher octave potentials of this major Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.
HIGHER PURPOSE confirms Thor Han’s message and Dr. Salla’s comments, as well as the astrological assignation of the soul potential to make an evolutionary quantum leap at this time. It reads:
“Your inner light is a spark of galactic consciousness, a portal to higher dimensions. You are more than a physical being — you are a cosmic soul with purpose.“
The second, complimentary card speaks to the potential of making a FRESH START (IC Hexagram 18) which is the subject of Chapter Five of The Quantum Solution.
FRESH START reads, in part, Even when it seems that all has been spoiled, it is possible to make a FRESH START. Be willing to face your faults. Find out how to correct them. Avoid delay.
Here is the corresponding, confirming Guardian Angel message in its entirety:
For those willing to make the time to pause and carefully, deeply consider the oracles’ advice, there may still yet, even at this late hour, be positive hope for the future.
May we connect with the higher octave of collective consciousness needed to avert calamity. Using whatever means of communication available, may we Overcome “the forces which block and separate.”
May we return and adhere to “the common light which guides all,” shared in common, restoring community to humanity, finding the UNITY embedded within Planet Earth’s community.
Aligning with Love, restoring it to its natural place at the center of quantum Life Wheel, heals the many issues associated with fragmentation, notably narcissism, PTSD, addictions, and the impulse to suicide.
Easily said.
Not so easily done.
And it all depends upon what you mean.
The word love is so badly abused that many choose to avoid it. Abraham-Hicks, for example, prefers to use appreciation.
InLove Is Not Enough, Bruno Bettelheim gave us another wonderful substitute. An institutionalized child compared his crazy-making mom to his personal caretaker:
“My mother loves me. Shebe-cares me.” Be-care. I love that word!
There’s a full scale of ways love expresses, with positive and negative sides at every chakra level. It looks like this:
As an aside, it’s interesting to note that along this scale, “to lead” is at the pinnacle of positive love expressions. Implications for current political races deserve reflection.
But when I say align with LOVE as the answer to all the ills spawned by fragmentation, the LOVE I mean is unconditional, non-dual Love.
It’s located at the very apex of the ladder, represented by the circle which symbolizes the crown chakra, located the deepest center of the quantum Life Wheel. It’s the point at which apparent contradictions between self-love, loving relationships and universal love merge. It’s the essence of life which poets and pastors praise with the assurance that GOD IS LOVE.
Now. Why am I writing on this subject, just as the Full Moon Lunar eclipse at 5 degrees of Libra on March 25, 2024 approaches — at the time when loving relationships represented by Libra (ruled by Venus) stands in stark opposition to the Sun in Aires (ruled by warlike Mars), representative of individual sovereignty and self-love?
It’s because last night I did an I Ching query backed by oracle card spreads using both the Archangel Michael Sword of Light and The Soul’s Journey decks. In each case, I asked what I need be aware of at the time of this eclipse.
The I Ching answer was heavy, but exactly right. The oracle decks confirmed and expanded on what I need to know now. LOVE (or apparent lack thereof) was the repeating message.
Of what I came to know, I’ll share here that which might be equally useful to you.
The original I Ching answer was Hexagram 36, Shadow. Two changing lines resulted in the outcome of Hexagram 27, Growth.
The original reading, which represents the current situation, reads, in part, Like the sun covered over by clouds, your hopes may fall under a SHADOW for awhile. You may feel cut off from others, who will not show sympathy for what you have to say. Avoid anger.
Changing lines in the 3rd and top places indicate the future direction of attention. The outcome reads, in part, People seek help according to what they need for their own GROWTH. Unless hunger is fed with the right food, no amount of input will satisfy. Avoid Greed.
I asked myself, “What is it that I hunger for?” Friendship. Support. Connection. Basically, practical expressions of love. I’m being advised to become more aware of this need, and to feed it with the right food.
Here I’m reminded of Abraham-Hicks’ repeated assertion that humans look for love in all the wrong places — outside themselves. We project our virtues and strengths onto others, who inevitably disappoint, obliging us (as a blessing in disguise) to revert back to that unfailing source of love within — our own true selves, our inner beings.
Similarly, according the Abraham-Hicks, the primary job of the healer-health practitioner is to confirm and facilitate the relationship between the ailing client’s human and true selves.
The Archangel Michael card in the place designating what is now hidden (under a cloud) was #19, Make a Decision. The card face reads, “Are you choosing to prioritize yourself or another in this situation? Accept Divine guidance pointing you toward your own joy. You deserve it.”
It’s repeating the theme of apparent conflict between self and relationships with others. The resolution is to shift to the higher octave of JOY, beyond either/ors.
In the place designating strength you can depend on was #9. Don’t Give Up on Love. The card face reads, in part, “Allow me to clear the way for forgiveness so that love can thrive again.”
I’m reminded that the ever-present light of angelic forgiveness has the power to dispel clouds of human misunderstandings.
The confirming Soul’s Journey‘s message is so wise and worthy that I’ll quote it for you at length.
LOVE. You are love. It is your inherent vibration. The obstacles and challenges of the physical dimension attempt to trick you into thinking there are other ways to view life — but there is only one way that is natural to your being: LOVE.
It continues:
Love is a healing energy, All anxiety and drama cannot continue in the aura of love. Most souls have come back upon this earth to learn, accept and utilize this harmonic force and to see its affect on their lives. It is your time to remind others of their own power of God, and assist them in knowing fully that love is the most powerful element in the universe. It builds, fortifies and strengthens even the most lost person.
And concludes:
True love is the spiritual link between us and God. It will guide our footsteps through the conflicts of the material world and will cleanse our hearts of unwanted aspects of the human personality.
In sum: You ARE love. We are all made of Love. But we have forgotten. The sun of unconditional love has fallen under a shadow, leaving us feeling isolated, unappreciated and, sometimes, angry.
Now being the right time, my calling is to say this here:
To prosper in all things, first remember who you are. Who we all are. Align with the innermost truth of universal, unconditional love.
