This sequence started with an exchange between me and a publisher who wears a second hat as a major RFK Jr. supporter:

ME: How are you?

TL: Great. You?

ME: Greatly heartened to know you are well!

As for me. Long story short, it’s said God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. But sometimes wish he didn’t trust me so much.

Bottom line. On the same day RFK Jr took the oath of office, I swore a parallel oath to God to honor/fulfill the responsibility I’ve been given to support his mission. Will survive to do so.

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.

And within a day, the event arrived.

It wasn’t at all what expected. Nothing related to world events — neither politics, wars, nor natural disasters.

It was personal.

I took a fall which triggered an avalanche of Aha moments.

Over night, half asleep, I reached for a door frame to support my weight, but misjudged its distance. Leaning forward, I missed it. And went down.

Crash! Shock!!

No injuries, thank God. But seriously shaken.

As is my way, after settling down, I queried the I Ching, my go-to mentor, seeking to understand the implications of the fall. What message was to be taken from that surprise? What adjustment called for?

The answer came back, unequivocal. No changing lines. Hexagram 21, BREAKTHROUGH. It looks like this:

When I searched my conscience, what surfaced was a paralyzing tension in my attitude towards publishing. That’s what I’m being advised to correct.

Yuppers. In the past, my now deceased teacher took a dim view of my writing, citing the biblical warning against casting pearls before swine.

But in my musings now, when I returned to the classic tale of humans turned to swine, it reminded me that, at least in this case, they were eventually changed back again. This has relevance to my reservations, as well as potential solutions.

In Homer’s Odyssey (a classic story of the archetypal hero’s journey), Hermes, the healing god, supplies the medicinal remedy that returns the ship’s crew back from spell-bound pigs to their original, true selves. He also, by the way, forewarns our hero of the sorceress Circe’s dangers, giving him an herb that makes him immune to her dark spells. (To the best of my knowledge, what that herb might be isn’t named. That would be an interesting rabbit hole for someone to explore, don’t you think?)

Remember Hermes? He’s the winged messenger (Mercury) who carries the caduceus, familiar symbol of the current medical profession, which (sadly) has forgotten its origins and is long overdue to remember, restore and perhaps upgrade itself! (But that’s a subject for a different, lengthy discourse.)

When I search my soul, the nagging, pessimistic part of my psyche feels that life’s too painful. Wants only to withdraw. Have nothing to do with the majority of barbaric humans driven by appetites, all too easily seduced by black-magic temptations of the dark side.

What I recognize is that my BREAKTHROUGH must be to replace remnants of pessimism and self-doubt with this awareness: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

It is ignorance instilled and enforced by dark-side slave-masters that drives bestiality, cruelty and viciousness. Education driven by a positive paradigm shift has the potential to change that!

And that’s exactly my job. From now on, I’ll focus on this KEY. According to the Quantum Paradigm, we are each made in the image of God. Inherently, at our core, each and every one of us — even savage murderers, thieves and exploiters of every stripe — remains in deepest essence divine. We each carry the magical seed potential (albeit latent and forgotten) — to transcend illusory limitations. Therein lies certain hope of a better future.

Like Lambert, the sheepish lion, we each have the potential to WAKE UP! To remember who we truly are.

As of now, however, the vast majority of humanity remains, as I was, half asleep. Staggering, they reach for support, but miss the mark and fall.

And it’s my given job is to serve as an awakener. A messenger. A reminder that according to the complete and correct Quantum Paradigm (towards which humanity now has the opportunity to shift), divinity rests at the eternal core of who we’re born to be.

More than once, it has occurred to me that in a generation’s time, these changes will be accomplished, whether or not I publish. They’ll inevitably come to pass, simply because astrologically, all the attitude-shaping outer planets will have changed sign.

Pluto, the powerful planet of transformative personal and political change, recently shifted from earth-based Capricorn into air-ruled Aquarius. The day after the March 29th radical New Moon eclipse in Aires, Neptune, the creative planet of inspiration, intuition and devotion follows suit, moving from water-based Pisces for a 14-year transit through fire-ruled Aires.

After that, over the next two years, stern, conformist Saturn, the planet of rules, structure and institutional authority, will leave the water sign of Pisces to enter fire-ruled Aires. Eccentric Uranus, the planet of invention, foresight and genius, will exit the location where it’s been stuck in earth-bound Taurus to reside in more compatible, air-ruled Gemini.

So, in the future, no matter where in the world a child is born, into whatever cultural milieu, its astrological markings will be radically different from those of its grandparents and even parents. Without anyone having to do anything to bring about this change, one-hundred years from now, no one left will be of the current imperial, conquest, control and dominance mindset.

But that too-easy cop-out doesn’t let me off the hook. That’s then. This is now. Humanity still needs to make the (sometimes messy and painful) transition from here to there. And replacing the current empirical science model, mainstreaming the Quantum Paradigm, is a necessary part of the process that will lead humanity into its long-foreseen better future.

In The Leviathan, first published in 1651, English philosopher Thomas Hobbes posited that in its natural state, human life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.” On this assumption, he rationalized the necessary existence of absolute governmental power.

This serves as an example of the dynamic that the beliefs people hold have very real consequences. “Thinking makes it so.” Believing humans are bestial not only gives them license to act that way, but also to treat them as such.

Fortunately, beliefs remain a matter of personal choice.

In this light, the Make America Healthy Again movement now afoot in the U.S. has great potential to shift widespread beliefs and therefore results. It’s no accident that RFK Jr. openly says “spirituality” is a necessary component of a nation’s health.

Better, more awakened beliefs emerging now will lead to better results in the future. This is the hopeful premise of The Quantum Solution.
