It has been a few weeks since my last attempt to communicate with Thiel. It felt good to be “back in the saddle” and I did not want to exit that feeling. Where many of the other meditation/channelings took about 45 minutes, this one lasted an hour. Channeled Feb 8th 2016.
Voice- Katana
Me- Yes
Voice- We are Thiel
Me- What message do you have for me today? Today is a new moon!
Thiel- You are loved. Indeed you are love itself. Indeed it is a new moon. A beginning and an ending. We are all one and have access to all that there is. Even though we are all aspects of the One we still have access to the All and all that the All is capable of. We are not alone nor are we powerless. We are merely play-acting and it suites the needs of the many to do this. If all were warriors on the same team in the Dream then who would we learn anything from? We are being who we are meant to be at any moment of the day or night. It is not for us to wish to be different for we have agreed to play the part we have chosen. To be content in that is the outcome of all our experiences. We may be advocates of change or the ones that resist the change but we are all going toward the same goal no matter how it looks on the outside of the circumstance. When a virus invades the body it is because it was allowed in. There was a breach in the barrier of the body due to neglect or willfulness or some such. The “warrior” cells come to the rescue of the body to fight off the invaders. The invader virus knows no other way to be than to attack a willing host. The body knows no other way to be than to attack an invader. If the body can be built up and strengthened then the invader virus can be pushed out. No, it is not destroyed, it is merely waiting for another chance to invade. It may mutate into a more harmless version or it may mutate into a strengthened version. It is dependent on the body to keep the barrier or to allow it in. The troubles we see in our life are the virus and the warriors are our beliefs. Our beliefs keep the barrier up or it allows a breach.
Me- How do we build our “body” so no invaders may attack?
Thiel- As in the illustration of the body and the virus, there must be a foundation of good nutrition and compassionate care. So too must there be the same for the person that has allowed troublesome circumstances to invade. Some things we agreed to before we came but our reactions to these circumstances are the real tests. If we have allowed our foundation, our beliefs, to crumble and decay with disuse or neglect then we can not complain if trials come to test the limits of that foundation. To build up your foundation you may adjust your beliefs to ones that serve you better. If you are hiding behind a fake you then how can the real you do as it needs to? Allow the real you to come out of hiding and be all you can be. You will fit more perfectly in the life that you were meant to live in this way. Just as a puzzle piece needs to be turned just so to fit in any given space so too must your life be turned to fit in your space during this lifetime. Practice your awareness of things so that when it is very important and not a drill you will be able to change “on a dime” as it were. Be mindful of your surroundings- not necessarily of danger but of love and enjoyment. Allow yourself to FEEL the chair you sit on. To FEEL the tool in your hand. To FEEL the words before they come out of your mouth. These things will build the foundation and give nutrients to your soul. This in turn will not allow the “invader” such as doubts, worries, second-guessing to enter. It takes practice and that will last a lifetime for all. Access the ALL when you are in need of extra guidance. The All is there for everyone, not just the few. Never fear, you will succeed at being. Until we meet again.
*Originally channeled Feb 8th 2016
~I met Thiel in my meditations in June of 2015 during a Gemini Full Moon while Mercury was retrograde. They indicated that they were from the 6th & 7th plane. We had 29 conversations over 3 1/2 years. Interestingly, in astrology, the 29º in any sign is considered a critical degree. One of its connotations indicates a sense of urgency. Gemini is ruled by Mercury and both are concerned with communication. It is with an urgency I share these messages with you.

Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. ~Zen Proverb
Whether you like it or not, we are all evolving. Some are doing this faster while some are slower to change and transform. As a collective, we are also evolving and becoming more of who we need to be as a species. In our next phase of development, we will become more individualized and sovereign. This doesn’t mean we will have fewer friends or families. It does mean we will not identify with a group or tribe as much as we do now.
The history of our evolution began with nomadic families moving to where the resources were. Each person was important and had a duty within the group. Our lives were short, so every person counted. We then began communities with a tribe or clan leader as we developed agriculture. People had a bit longer lives, so social structures formed. The communities grew and more complex forms of governance came along. Dynasties were formed and leaders had family ties or marriage alliances. The stronger the ruling powers, the more opportunities for corruption and gate-keeping of resources. Restrictions and permissions were enacted on those with (seemingly) less power. Eventually, the people rose up and decided to govern themselves through surrogates such as in democracies and republics. We are now entering the self-responsibility phase in our evolution.
We have come to the conclusion that we can only truly trust ourselves. We have matured as a collective, thanks in part to those who restricted us these past two years. They did not remember that darkness is where exponential growth begins. We discovered what we could do for ourselves and how we did not need supervision or permission. There was a boom in homeschooling, new sole proprietor businesses, food gardening, food prep and storage, researchers, natural healthcare, homesteading, shelter-building, and the list goes on. We became like the pioneers of old.
As our consciousness and lifespan increased over the last few thousand years, we moved up the ladder according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We begin fully embracing the Esteem Level where we know who we are. We will leave behind the need for outside approval. We mastered the Love & Belonging Level where being part of the group was the ultimate in importance. We won’t leave those lessons and abilities behind, but we will embrace the new lesson of sovereignty. A sovereign state of being is to be independent of outside authority. This includes being free of the opinions of others, approval of family as well as the control of a government. It takes skill to be your own authority.
With sovereignty comes responsibility. We can’t place blame on those we no longer hold as an authority over us. If we make a mistake, we are responsible for making it right. If we made a decision that turned out to be problematic, we issue the apology and see what can be repaired or salvaged. We also can not take for granted that others will help, take up the slack or rescue us. We ask, not assume someone will be there for us. We express gratitude, not inconsiderateness in our actions with others. Etiquette and social graces, the sincere kind, will be in style.
In order for this type of society to thrive, we must offer something of value. Our possessions may fulfill a requirement for some but knowledge will have a longer-lasting benefit. Like the old saying- Give a man a fish & he eats for a day. Teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime. We all have expertise in something. Is it of enough value someone else might want to learn it? At the moment, supply-chain disruptions have caused the substitution or disappearance of some items we need. Can we make these things ourselves? Do we need instruction on how to do that? Once we fulfill our basic requirements, would we like some of the amenities? Learning any skill takes time but the more intricate in detail the greater the need for a master craftsperson.
Now is the time to take stock in what you know. Is your knowledge more mental or are you able to do things with your hands? Be honest in your assessment. Your life may depend on it. I am reminded of those Survivor TV shows where folks that are useless or unwilling to get along get voted off the island. Considering your physical and emotional talents, how long would you last? Learning basic life skills can open doors to greater capabilities and potential.
Right now there are many avenues to acquire experience and competence in an area of study. Vocational and trade schools are an obvious choice. Some companies offer internships where you learn and get paid in exchange for staying with the company long enough for them to recoup their investment. The military works this way as well as many manufacturing plants. My former grandmother worked at a sewing factory for years in the 1960s and 70s. At her retirement, she opened her own sewing business making lady\’s suits. She hired women she used to work with and taught others how to sew who had never threaded a needle.
Chances are there is someone in your life that knows how to do something you need to learn. Find them and ask for their instruction. It takes skill to be a sovereign person. We all need more folks to take on that way of life. We are heading in that direction anyway, so if you feel called, be that pioneer. I was fortunate enough in my younger life to learn to sew and cook from my mother. She knew the basics and I expanded that knowledge with practice and further instruction. I was exposed to and dabbled in farming, building trades, mechanical repair, fishing, astrology, tarot, historical research, besides the actual jobs I held over my lifetime. I am still learning but I’ve got skilz. It’s time to get yours.

“While living in South Florida, Dad’s family lived in relative luxury compared to many in the (early)1970s. They had an automatic indoor washer, an indoor toilet, a small cottage they rented out in the back yard, and the convenience of town living. Here (an East Tennessee 10-acre farm, mid-70s), there was no indoor toilet for nearly a year and limited bathing facilities, no insulation in the attic or walls with only an oil furnace for the cold Tennessee winters, and an outdoor wringer washer with no access to hot water. Grandpa sold his home to a preacher, who told everyone that Florida would sink into the ocean. He sold all their furniture, appliances, and whatever else someone would buy to lighten their load for the move. The land, of course, was sold to the preacher so his flock “wouldn’t have the burden of selling it” before the catastrophe happened.” ~Metaphysical Girl: How I Recovered My Mental Health
My parents lived through various weather events in the United States during their 75+ years on this earth. Florida is known for its hurricanes, electrical storms, along with its hot and humid days much of the year. East Tennessee has been subjected to tornadoes, large hailstones, flash flooding, snow, and ice storms, as well as humidity rivaling a tropical rain forest. Over the years, these events would lessen in intensity or increase in damage depending on various factors. The change could occur due to upper-atmosphere disturbances, solar cycles, lessening of the magnetic field, melting arctic ice, or volcanic eruptions along with other causes.
The planet we live on now is almost nothing like it was a million years ago. It has also changed a significant amount in the past year. This change is nothing new. The current Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects, CIMP6, tracks multiple variables to produce its climate forecast models. Clashes between theories and how to read the data are inevitable. An increasing amount of scientists are discovering that there are more variables to consider but the official sanctioned papers take precedence in many scientific journals. A different view with scientific research to back up its claims is at Suspicious Observers.
Earth\’s magnetic shield held stable for several thousand years. Since the mid-1800s, that shield is weakening at a much faster rate each year. It has lessened by 10% as of the year 2000 over the last 150 years. The last 20 years have seen an even faster decline. As the magnetics of the planet decrease, more cosmic rays are able to hit the earth. This activity can cause weather events along with health issues for people. This bombardment of solar frequencies is part of the reason why we are having so many climate-related occurrences. Our weather patterns have drifted to areas not prepared for this level of adjustment. In years past, the Sahara was green and lush. Now it is more of a wasteland where only the hardy and adaptable survive. Science Magazine published an article last February regarding the most recent magnetic shift- Ancient kauri trees capture last collapse of Earth’s magnetic field.
You may wonder why a person who encourages folks in their emotional well-being would bother writing about climate, especially in a way that is not the accepted view. I research everything that impacts mental health. Years ago I came across an Australian study that tracked suicide statistics. The researchers conducted their investigation over several decades. They found that the eleven-year solar cycle coincided with the rise and fall in the number of suicides. I had never considered natural outside forces, such as the sun, to influence a person’s health in this way. I knew about getting your Vitamin D and experiencing a lighter mood with the application of sunlight. Discovering cycles of events in space was new and intriguing. I ordered the Weatherman’s Guide to the Sun from the Suspicious Observers site as it listed the scientific papers and conclusions of researchers in health-related adverse effects of our Sun.
Besides behavioral changes, heart attacks, strokes, and neurological issues can be triggered by sunspots, solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and cosmic ray influx. Adaption is our ticket to riding the climate wave of activity. If we are aware that certain events can happen, we can prepare mentally and physically. The official corporate climate modeling insists that we humans are the major cause of our planet warming beyond acceptability. More non-corporate scientists are delivering research indicating a Grand Solar Minimum in our future where the planet goes through a substantial cooling period. The two climate camps won’t collaborate and allow a better-educated guess for our future.
In my eclectic research, I also found that all the planets in our solar system along with many long-time studied stars and cosmic phenomena are changing at the same time our earth is going through its transformation. Unless the climate scientists are willing to admit humans are on these other planets, we can assume different reasons for the shift are to blame. There is so much we do not know about our universe, the galaxy, our solar system, the planet, and ourselves. What makes us so sure of our conclusions and so stubborn in adjusting our thinking?
We need to prepare. No matter if we get cooler or warmer, adaptability is key. If the climate scientists can\’t come to an agreement, we may have to just pick a side and go with that plan. For myself, after reviewing the evidence and listening to my own intuition, I am choosing the Grand Solar Minimum theory. I am taking some of the climate warming advice and reducing my footprint in regards to wasteful practices. I am also augmenting my skills so that I can prepare for the cold. Being self-sustaining is my goal. I feel sure there are others taking this road and perhaps we can join together. A community of individuals with various skill sets would be a handy thing to be part of, no matter what we face. Think about how you want to tackle the future and begin preparation. If not for yourself, then consider your expertise and pass it on.

I have never been fond of diamonds. I enjoy color. Give me sapphires, emeralds, opals, and rubies! These gems make my eyes light up. My second marriage produced a husband determined to put a diamond on my hand. I acquiesced, though my heart wasn\’t in it. I chose a ring where the engagement and wedding bands intertwined with a small diamond in the center and four tiny diamonds placed above and below the twisting gold. He worried it wasn\’t big enough. I worried I would catch it on my sweaters. The ring design was a compromise and the marriage has lasted thirty-one years this month.
I enjoy learning how things are made. I have always wondered about the process of making toothpicks after seeing a Warner Brothers cartoon where they whittled a full grown tree down to a single pick, then placed it in a box with others done the same way. My husband and I try to take the \”behind the scenes\” tours at various locations to know how things are done. Being on my grandmother\’s farm gave me a first-hand view of food production- plant and animal. For years I sewed my own clothing and did that for a living a couple of times in my life. Invention and innovation thrill me to no end.
After my mental health transformation, I was determined to never shy-away from things I didn\’t like. My distaste of diamonds became one of my investigations so that I could understand my aversion to that harmless little rock. In my curiosity, I found an unexpected lesson and epiphany. My exploration of this stone led me to understand myself and others in a fascinating new way.
Start with carbon dioxide (CO2) and bury it underground about 100 miles. Apply heat through various means to about 2200°F. Next, add a dash of pressure at 725,000 lbs/sq inch. Allow this concoction to develop for several millions to billions of years. Finally, rush this new substance to the surface using a handy volcano or conveniently falling asteroid to cool and harden. By doing all this, you might get a diamond worthy of a bridal hand. Actually, the exact formula is still a mystery. Diamond formation depends on a perfect storm of circumstances. The key processes appear to be:
Begin with the carbon- the building block of all life on planet earth
Turn up the heat to clear away the dross and useless bits of muck
When it is as pure as it can be, apply tremendous pressure
Do this for however long it takes for the finished product
After all this inner work, it bursts into the world to allow its light to shine
Of course there is some refinement to be done, but this process doesn\’t have to take near as long. It is also under the control of the person handling the newly formed stone.
Many hands are needed to bring a gem of quality into the world. The rough uncut diamond needs to be mapped and marked to determine how large and what shape is best for a specific stone. Once the crystal is ready to be worked, the cutters, brillianteers and polishers have the finished product in their mind. They begin to create the facets that will bring out the best qualities of the diamond. The polishing brings out the fire within the stone so that when it is subjected to light it will have depth and character. This is a tedious process taking several weeks, but necessary for the final result. You can watch this condensed procedure on this >7-minute video.
“In the standard round brilliant, there are 57 or 58 facets. The table facet, usually the largest facet on the diamond, helps gather light from above and either reflects it back to the observer or directs it into the diamond’s interior. The crown facets, consisting of 8 bezels, 8 stars, and 16 upper halves, gather and disperse light to create brightness, fire, and a scintillating pattern of light and dark. The pavilion facets, consisting of 16 lower halves, 8 mains, and an optional culet, reflect the light back through the crown to the viewer’s eye. All of these facets work together creating each diamond’s unique appearance.”
The 4 Cs- color, clarity, cut and carat is how diamonds are graded. A stone that is colorless, with no inclusions or blemishes, cut in an attractive way and has adequate carat or weight is a diamond to be sought after in the world of fine gems. Magnification and subjection to fluorescent light are how to determine these characteristics. The grade of a stone is how it is valued and determines the price one pays for the jewel in question. To the naked eye, less expensive jewelry can be equal to the shine and brilliance of their more pricey counterparts.
I was struck by the descriptions and explanations in the diamond-making process. Each of us in our everyday lives goes through a similar development of birth, challenges, breaking, questioning, refinement, discovery, and the finale. It takes a while for the right geographic location, generation, parents, the woman\’s cycle and the couple\’s inclination to produce you in baby form, ready for programming. From there, you are tested and challenged until you have broken free from your original thought processes. Questions arise and getting your life in some semblance of order while still being pliable, is needed. Your refining and cleansing are instituted so you discover who you are and why you are here. Finally, you burst forth into the world and shine a light only you carry.
In the Regency period of England, women in the upper echelons of society were graded much like diamonds. Breeding or family heritage, along with looks, training in household management, and intact virtue were the qualities sought. A Diamond of the First Water was every man\’s dream. First Water would refer to the clarity of a diamond. The closer the stone resembled still water, the better. It would be without blemishes (external flaws) and inclusions (internal defects). Women were considered Diamonds if these criteria were met. How often are similar attributes desired in those seeking relationships even now? Dating Apps insist you list them for prospective candidates to sift through.
As I have mentioned in previous posts on this blog, humans are here to discover, explore and remember themselves as they journey through life. We are facets of the Source of All, the Creator, God or the Universe. We are already of the exact color, clarity, cut and carat we are supposed to be. We need only discover this through our ramblings here on earth. We are all Diamonds. We need only discover our clarity and claim the First Water we are destined to be.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention along with Don’t Spit into the Wind are the two sayings that I feel characterize the coming years after our recent break with reality. Coming to a hard stop across the planet has induced a kind of time-warp and re-evaluation of our individual circumstances. Since gathering in groups is frowned upon right now, looking into the depths of our psyche is nearly our only option. I also think it is long overdue.
To believe our lives will go back to the way it was is as fruitless as spitting into the wind. I ask of us all: would we really want everything back to the way it was? To everything there is a season and for a number of things that season is over. We can express gratitude for the things we enjoyed but also for the items we endured past their expiration date. Now we can make plans for what we want to experience next. From all indications, the individual instead of the group will be expressed and uplifted. I offer my views on the coming trends of the next 10 years.
Our work: Businesses that have offices but no foot traffic that accesses their services will see a growing awareness that “working from home” is a cost-efficient option. Indeed, many companies have utilized this strategy for the last 10+ years. Now that personnel has tried it out, there will be more demand for this opportunity.
Businesses that manufacture or assemble items will become more automated. Employees will have the opportunity to learn skills that run, program or maintain this equipment. Talented individuals will engineer robotics at a much larger scale than used even now. AI will have the ability to anticipate problems with the quality of the product and troubleshoot issues with the machines. 3D printing will also become more prevalent, even for in-home use.
Cottage industries such as hand-built and hand-made items will become valued for their character and story. One-of-a-kind items will be elevated to art status. Service businesses such as personal care, vehicle maintenance, repair shops, along with other areas will continue but there may be more instruction and products geared toward how we can do these things for ourselves.
Shopping: Retail along with food stores will continue with online sales and personal shoppers. Boutiques will replace the large discount stores where personal service will be valued. Specialty items, where you can try before you buy, will be another trend. After you know your size, your favorite flavor, or the ability to check the quality, you will be directed online in the shop or at home to make your purchases. Inventory will be warehoused, much like Amazon does now, or constructed/assembled when ordered. Consumerism at its pre-Covid19 level will wane. Supply chain disruption will occur with many needed items moved to local suppliers. Quality items that last or can be easily recycled will be in demand. Local industry that provides these needed items will grow.
Education: Expertise in a subject will be needed but also an all-around knowledge of how to manage our time and resources. Working from home opens up the need for more tech-savvy folks to innovate and invent new ways to connect. Knowledge will become the new consumer product. Online classes and courses will explode and so will the tutorials from experienced people to teach those skills. Brick and mortar schools will be seen as an expensive product. Online K-12 and universities will see a rise as well as specialized schools, weekend workshops, and technical training centers.
Small groups learning skills that require more hands-on expertise will become the norm. Credentialing will be limited to professions that demand oversight such as medical doctors, nurses, lawyers, accountants, and the like. Certifications will become widely accepted. Homeschooling will rise as well. This won\’t be limited to mainly religious education but be a viable option for a variety of people and abilities. With legislation stalling the formation and utilization of Charter Schools and school vouchers for school choice, folks will find other avenues. Parents may form private co-ops to teach their children.
Medical Care: Within the next 10 years, we will have some kind of emergency medical coverage for Americans. This would include emergency vehicle and work-related accidents, major organ emergencies such as heart attacks, kidney stones, appendix issues, strokes, etc… Healing Centers and Naturopathic Clinics will spring up as a more natural way to get well. People will be more willing to take their healthcare into their own hands. There will be medical clinics like we see now but there will be many more wellness options to choose from. Specialty schools, trainings, and workshops to teach others how to manage their own health will flourish. Most allopathic care will wane as people become healthier and take charge of their personal care.
Living Spaces: With the advent of working, shopping, and education accessibility from your own home, a dedicated space for some of those activities will be a must. Families will be smaller due to falling birthrates so that a third bedroom can easily be converted to this space. Rural towns will become more appealing and living in the city will most likely be relegated to those who own businesses there. Food gardens will be commonplace. New hydroponic systems, vertical gardening, rooftop plantings along with dwarf varieties of fruit trees will be widely used. Composting systems will be offered in new home builds.
Food: With more people working from home and having no commute, making meals at home will be back in style. Having fresh ingredients at hand along with the ability to experience social-media cooking channels and streaming gourmet chefs right on your tech device will make it more appealing. Food co-ops where you subscribe to farm-fresh produce and meat will be an attractive option. By cooking our own food, our health will improve as well. Industrial farming will wane. Governments won\’t be supporting that kind of food production. Folks will be taking a hand in what they put into their mouths.
Transportation: Self-driving cars or anti-gravity propulsion vehicles will be commonplace as will self-driving mass transit buses/subways in larger cities. Personal vehicles will be mainly used for longer trips such as into the city to visit/shop or across the country for pleasure. Smaller vehicles similar to golf carts or three-wheeled bikes will be used for shorter trips. Vehicles will use electric, plasma, or perhaps cold-fusion motors and generators. With fewer drivers on the roads, our infrastructure will be better maintained and need fewer repairs overall. Tractor-trailer rigs hauling goods across the country will be phasing out in favor of making items closer to each area of the country. High-speed electric trains may take over some of the transport that big trucks used to do as well as passenger services. Local supply chains will be valued using local personnel and resources as much as possible. Air travel and cruises will change. With more cost-effective energy, airlines & cruise ships can afford to take fewer passengers but offer more luxury to entice folks to use their services. Long-distance travel will wane for the next 6 years but will resume after that with new improved ways of getting places.
Energy: Fossil fuels will wane over the next several years as newer more efficient means are put into use. Present-day solar and wind will be relegated to the US southwest and the coastlines respectively. Geothermal technology, plasma, cold-fusion, hydrogen gas, and other exotic fuels are on the horizon for possible widespread use. If experiments pan-out with Space Solar Power Incremental Demonstrations and Research (SSPIDR) in the newly formed Space Force, there is a possibility of collecting solar energy, converting it to radiofrequency, and then beaming it down to a projected generating station to provide power. The military will utilize it first but it could eventually make it into everyday use.
Communication: Satellite-based internet public utility with military oversight is a possibility for future communication needs. Phone service could be utilized with this technology as well. Private companies will divest their internet and phone service holdings while converting to provide repair/maintenance services. Software services similar to Zoom and Skype but with a more 3D/HD feel will provide a personal experience for people to communicate face-to-face over long distances and for groups to gather. A portion of folks will eventually enhance their capability for telepathy, negating the need for technology.
Communities: Like-minded folks will find each other and form communities or villages. There will most likely be an industry that contributes to the community purpose and provide a product to sell/barter with other communities across the globe. Communal areas will hold healing centers, technology hubs, and event spaces. Animals will be cared for as companions, humane food production, and therapy. Education will be tailored to individual needs, desires, and aptitudes. Young and old alike will be valued. People will live longer more productive lives due to quality food, personal interaction, purpose, and healthful living. Children will be fewer but they will be wanted and cared for with community help.
Governments: Governmental authority as we know it now, will change dramatically in the next few years. As we each develop our own inner authority, the collective need for central control will diminish. Boundaries of countries will shift and change according to those living there realizing their inner power and communal needs. Digital currencies and bartering will take the place of paper & coinage. Eventually, there will be no need for money as we now know it, but that will be several years from now. Communities will make their own rules along with mutually agreed upon international policies to guide interactions. Censorship will wane as our telepathic abilities grow. Nothing will be hidden as we enter higher states of consciousness.
Climate: Contrary to recent media and uncensored scientific assertions, our planet will not accumulate excess heat nor will sea levels rise to dangerous levels. By all indications of a historical nature, taking into account a longer time-frame than recent climatologists use, we are in the beginning stages of a Grand Solar Minimum. During the transition to a colder planet, our local weather patterns will shift and change. This has happened several times in Earth\’s history. The Sahara was once green and lush. The Antarctic was once as temperate as Central South America. There were vineyards in Northern England. There was also a time when much of the Americas were under a sheet of ice. It\’s not known how severe or long-lasting this colder climate will last, but you can be sure that innovation to adapt will be at the forefront of people\’s minds for the coming years.
Spirituality: As our consciousness evolves, the need for a centralized religion will wane. At the beginning of human spirituality, the gods of ancient times were our compass, and beseeching their favor in ways mundane and horrific was commonplace. We then centralized our worship along with our government through a monotheistic approach. Martin Luther ushered in a more personal god without the government involved, directly at least. We will now evolve leaving off an organizational structure and embracing a personal reflection of our inner spirituality. We may gather concepts from various teachings but at its core, we will recognize our own spiritual essence and connection to the Source of All, however, you choose to describe that being or state.
Conclusion: These are but a few of the things I see for the coming decade. The transition period for some of this activity will be messy at first but as humans grow and evolve, we will welcome the changes. Much of what I have proposed is already happening on a smaller scale in many parts of the world. What will you contribute to the future you desire? The world is in your hands.

I look at my life now and see twists and turns my journey has taken due to the choices I made along the way. There were times that I thought just to stop and not go further for the present was too painful. Then the road would open, and I could see a better tomorrow a little further up the path. There were many worlds I lived in at one time or another. Each was having a different impact on my life and the life of those around me. All of them had a role in making me the person I am now.
By the time I was seven, my world had consisted of five people, my parents, a sister, brother, along with myself. It was a cozy world of playing and laughing, eating evening meals together, sharing a room with my sister. I watched my small brother learn all the things a baby must learn. I took the lead in entertaining myself and my siblings. We made many of the things we played with. With my direction, we played the games that came so readily to my mind. My brother and sister took this as a matter of course, for their lives. I encouraged their input in what we did for fun. My parents, I think, were grateful that we played well together for the most part. All things were possible in this place. I knew of no other world, but this.
My school world was cramped in comparison to home. I had to walk a tight rope of unfamiliar rules and the social structure of my peers that vied for supremacy over all others. At home, I felt more valued. At school, it was rule or be ruled. Although I loved learning, I did not like the way things were around me. When I began reading, I could see a glimmer of other places that would help my melancholy. School was not a forgiving place. Everything was remembered and marked down. The possibilities were few, and the choices were limited.
I thrived in both worlds for a time, each with its set of expectations. I chaffed at the strictures, finally adapting to its limits in spite of longing for the freedom of younger days. Daydreams took the place of reality. I was careful to hide my intense yearnings and only indulge at home in the safety of my room. I played records of dreamy music singing along with the voices I heard, pretending to be a singer with a lovely voice that others listened to with rapt attention. Humbly taking a bow in front of my virtual audience, I vowed to be on a stage where I could be loved for what I really felt was me.
In high school, I did take the stage. I felt a wonderful sense of power in seeing the audience cry in sympathy or giggle at the charm of the character I portrayed. On the stage, there were possibilities again.
My world increased to include a church when I was seventeen. The church was even more limiting and structured than school. Now there was a book with all the rules that I was to learn and obey. There were expectations of my present behavior and activities, along with my future ones as well. Plans were made without my consent or even any input at all. My future was laid out with a husband and church role that included endless obedience and a closed mouth. Others assumed I would follow their dictates. Imagine their surprise when I didn’t meekly acquiesce. In this world, there were two choices. I saw even fewer possibilities. I was choking and did not see the noose.
A marriage at twenty-two opened my world to another side of life I only read about in books even then with much vagueness. Physical love was more than I dreamed it could be. I had not thought to be involved with someone so intimately, for my opinion of myself had fallen from those first heady days of youth. I soon learned that even with my world expanded to include a man to share my life with, it, too, could be limiting. I had been brainwashed enough to adapt to others’ whims and needs while suppressing my own. The noose was tightening, and the chair was in place.
In spite of all my attempts at being a “good wife,” the man I married found another more appealing. The church abandoned me with his resounding footsteps still ringing in my ears. The family I embraced for his sake turned and shunned me as if I was the reason for their crumbling world. I held on to the noose with all I had, but he was taking it with him.
I was in shock and overwhelmed. I missed the warmth of the noose for a while then decided it was more like a burn needing to be treated and healed. Suddenly there were choices galore and endless possibilities to dream about. Then my tentative steps led me from one moment to the next, each anticipating a further decision, a choice, then finally adventure.
My world expanded to include a career in nursing. I worked for a podiatrist in his office, and the universe came to me. The patients we saw brought with them their own small worlds. I entered their space, vicariously each day. I drank in all they had to teach. I was a sponge expanding and growing. I took care of them during examinations and surgeries, comforting my charges, and explaining their treatment. My advice was heeded. I mingled with co-workers and was a friend to my boss. My thoughts on subjects were sought. I had others in my life that valued me again. Choices became a daily occurrence, while possibilities presented themselves with the rising sun.
At twenty-seven, I became a bride to a man and mother to a seven-year-old boy. By living with two other people, my choices became limited. I chose this limitation this time around, it was not forced upon me. All other times in my life, to this point, other people or circumstances made my decisions. I felt a victim. Now it was different. I had the family atmosphere I had been seeking. My world increased to include people I loved and who loved me in return.
As the days sped by, a baby girl was born. I began to see that what I saw as limits were really only this human journey that began before I was birthed into this world. This small child lived in my heart for many years before she made her appearance in our home. She was just as real to me when I first dreamed of having her as my adopted son was standing in front of me. I had always believed that I lived before I was born to my parents, and I will live after I ceased to breathe this earthly air in legacy and spirit. I had choices and possibilities but chose the limits of this human suit for a time. Now my understanding is coming together.
I had read on a blog somewhere-
“True positive thinking is not expecting the best…True positive thinking is accepting that what is happening IS the best for your future development, advancement, and growth.”
So the limits I perceived that I felt held me back were the best for me at that time and helped me to obtain the expansion that I desired. As a child grows physically, there is, at best, an uncomfortable feeling and, at worst extreme pain. The limbs lengthen, and the torso adjusts. The body appears gangly and then suddenly lithe. The mind may still dwell on childish things, but then there is acute insight brought forth that belies the years of the body.
After being in this present life for over fifty years, I have now arrived where choices are many, and possibilities exist as far as the eye can see. My world has expanded then contracted to go on to develop even more. I am aware now that I have always had these things, but my focus was on the lack of them. I looked at the space between where the print was small, and my eyes could not detect the truth. I now look at those spaces not as a “stop,” but more like a “rest.” This was only an intake of breath for the next item on the agenda of this life.
I look forward to another fifty years of expanding choices and endless possibilities.

Thiel– You are loved. Indeed you are love. There is a fabric that lays flat when smoothed out and life is that fabric. There is texture and pattern and grain- all there for those to live and feel and love in. Occasionally there is a thread that is not even, not woven with the greatest of care, not in harmony with the other threads. This thread is pulled and tugged to accomplish the work it is meant to do but it doesn\’t always agree to do it. When this happens the thread is tugged, pulled and sometimes jerked out of the fabric. This disturbs the other threads and causes them to shift and turn and move in ways they are not used to doing. The pulled thread leaves a space. And the fabric is different for a time until the other threads realize there is room . Room for love and room for change and room for other actions that were not possible before. There is no void for something is always there. Love sometimes pulls and tugs at us. It helps us to grow and change and see other possibilities. We are not stagnate or done with our journey just because we were pulled from the fabric.
Me– What of the others left behind? Do they care about the pulled thread?
Thiel– Yes, there is care but the relief is great even if they do not acknowledge it. We are never “used up” we are merely placed in a different spot, a different service position. Me– Are there pulled threads happening in my life, my family?
Thiel- There are always pulled threads everywhere. To be one is an honor. The threads left to move and change have the potential to change the “fabric” of life and the picture that comes into focus for all who are looking. Imagine the cornfield where there is the maze cut in and you must traverse the maze from only ground level. Is is difficult and tedious but the corn that was removed forms a pattern that can be see from a higher perspective, can it not? This is much like the fabric and the \’culled” threads that form the pattern of the cloth. All are loved for their contribution and all are important in the overall design.
Me– How do we see the overall design and gain perspective for our journey here and not become discouraged?
Thiel– Be still and fly. Fly in your heart. Fly in your mind. Fly to your outer most being and then see from within. Do not become disheartened if the journey becomes rough. Threads are being pulled and tugged to adjust the overall picture and you will change positions and textures and purpose for the moment of time it all happens. Your overall purpose is the same but your momentary purpose is adjusted for the circumstance. It is enough….
…We are of service to you and to the broader perspective of things. Manipulating matter is of no consequence to us and will be soon to you. You already do some things quite well and without thought. See what you already do and apply it to other things as well. You are more capable than you realize and more loving than you know. It will come though when you are ready to use it and play with it. Yes, we said play for that is what is necessary for all of life to exist. Play is the life force of all things for with it there is joy and there is love for it does not feel like work or drudgery. Love and Joy are fundamental for all things to thrive. We have given you much today. Be at peace with it all and know that it will do as it will for you and those you share this with.
Me- Thank you, Thiel. I will begin now to implement these things you have said.
~I met Thiel in my meditations in June of 2015 during a Gemini Full Moon while Mercury was retrograde. They indicated that they were from the 6th & 7th plane. We had 29 conversations over 3 1/2 years. Interestingly, in astrology, the 29º in any sign is considered a critical degree. One of its connotations indicates a sense of urgency. Gemini is ruled by Mercury and both are concerned with communication. It is with urgency I share these messages with you.

Do you remember The Sneetches of Dr. Seuss fame? It was written in 1961 and intended to be a satire of discrimination between races and cultures. When I look at the news or read an online paper, it seems we are living as either the “star-bellied Sneetch” or the “ones without stars upon thars.” The polarity on any issue or between groups has risen to maddening levels. Watch the video version of the story below.

Watch on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLPe7XjdKc
One thing that struck me when I first watched this many years ago was the Ones Without Stars standing on the outer edges of the Star-Bellied Folk and wishing they were part of that crowd. Why did they not just make their own fun and live their own lives? Hoping for someone else to include you in their group seems foreign to me. Where was their imagination and creative spirit? Just because someone excludes you from something they are doing does not mean that you are not valuable in your own right. It seems we are taking others\’ choices and decisions as a personal affront.
Fortunately, in our divided world, some people are taking a stand and going their own way while thriving despite would-be restrictions. In Australia, former restaurant consumers sit outside these establishments having picnics and visiting with people along the sidewalks. They may be on the edge of the Passport-Wielding Star-Bellied folk, but they are making their own fun. This same idea is going on in France.
A group of 2,500 airline professionals has joined a hub started by a Canadian pilot. They, along with would-be passengers, can fly without receiving the shot mandated on most other airlines. This pilot saw an opportunity to provide a service folks needed. Through his initiative, Free to Fly was born.
Prior to the pandemic lockdowns, roughly 3% of the US student population was homeschooled. As of August 2021, that number stands at 11% of American students being taught outside of the traditional public school system. This growing phenomenon is nationwide and encompasses those on both sides of the political spectrum. These students are not from the stereotypical hyper-religious, gun-toting, ignorant families that anti-homeschooling advocates would like you to believe. This trend has hit a tipping point where acceptance of the advantages of homeschooling far outweigh the criticisms some will try to throw at it. Education done under the homeschool umbrella can be as simple as kids studying around the kitchen table or several families joining together to facilitate learning in \”pods.\” Children taught this way can take day-long field trips to places and get a one-on-one experience. Families can do road trips with their vacation time and learn a new language and culture. There are many models to try if you want to be in charge of your children\’s education.
Others are pointing out the unfairness of their country\’s mandates and requirements. There are impressively substantial peaceful protests in Italy, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and even in China, filling major cities\’ streets. In fact, China has seen a massive uptick in the number of protests due to the draconian measures the CCP has perpetrated against its own people. The CCP has long cracked down on the practitioners of Falun Gong, a peaceful spiritual practice. When they are tossed into camps and prisons, the forced organ harvesting of these folks and other political dissidents has furthered that country\’s medical techniques in transplant surgery. The other countries and protests in America are resisting the shot passports that inhibit the livelihoods of tax-paying citizens of these areas.
Though the police and other authorities try to break up protests in Italy using water cannons and fire hoses, the Italians sing and dance while holding each other in the street. First Responders in Seattle brought their uniform boots to city officials as they walk-off the job over the shot mandates. Australian Police also left their job instead of enforcing lock-down rules. Doctors, nurses, firefighters, lawyers, teachers, and regular workers in France, and around the globe, left their employers voluntarily instead of taking the shot. Choosing body autonomy by refusing medical tyranny is a worldwide reality for many folks.
It seems there is no need for the Fix-it-up Chappy, Sylvester McMonkey McBean. Humanity is taking itself into its own hands. Those without Stars, i.e., passports, shots, masks, or fear, are finding their own way. As more people discover their innate power, the control the governments attempt to inflict will be met with indifference. My husband and I found a haven with each other during the beginning lock-downs. Here is my fictionalized version of how we thrived- The Lady and the Warrior in the Land of Kwarinteen. You may want to dam a river, but it will find its way around or through any obstacle put in its path. So goes the human spirit. I wrote about this phenomenon in the post Humanity Can Not Be Squelched.
What I encourage you to do, is live. Live your life your way. If you desire to take the shot, please do. If you are not inclined to take it- for whatever reason- then don\’t. We can not make decisions for other people, nor should we. We are each on a journey of self-discovery and soul growth. What we each do with the lives we are given is up to us and us alone. Suppose we allow others to influence, persuade or force us to do something against our own judgment or inclinations. In that case, we will be living with that consequence. If we attempt to unduly influence or force others to bend to our will, we bear the brunt of the karma that action brings to our door. Let us live and let live.

I worked for a podiatrist for several years. Patients would come in with hurting feet and ankles, exclaiming, “When your feet hurt, you hurt all over!” I knew what they meant. Headaches were my nemesis. Like the sufferers who came to our office, I would hurt everywhere when the pain in my head struck. Our weakest point can make us miserable. Once the painful foot or head was given relief, the body felt okay again.
Our bodies are the microcosm in the macrocosm of the world. When one of us suffers, the rest of us feel it. We can go about our day, take care of business, and be with our loved ones, but there is this nagging splinter in the background. Unconsciously we search for relief. Food, drugs, alcohol, adventure, romance, or drama are sought for a deliverance that is never achieved. Addiction plays a nasty trick on our minds and hearts. Awareness of the root problem brings the release we need but not the fix we crave. It is said, you must hit bottom before you are willing to admit your problem.
Our reality is created by us. Our beliefs and behaviors enforce or deter what we experience in the world. What you give out, consciously or unconsciously, comes back to you. Our emotions give our intentions power. Do you express heartfelt gratitude, or do you say thank you so that you will get what you want? Do you declare \”Sorry\” like a child trying to get out of trouble, or are you genuinely apologetic for your behavior? The world becomes what we are, and reality reflects that back to us. What existence are we creating?
In the first Matrix movie, a child speaks to Neo about bending a spoon-
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you\’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends. It is only yourself.
Looking at the news and world situation, we reflect on what we believe and how we behave as a collective. We, as individuals, have no control of the mob. It would be like trying to bend the spoon. Healing our own issues alleviates some of the collective sufferings. This is the bending of yourself. Understanding the need for us to adjust instead of demanding the world adapt to us is the key. The mirrored world will only show you the person looking into the mirror. If you see a face that needs shaving in the reflection, you do not put the razor to the glass.
Those of us who are called to be healers do not heal others. We are here to hold the mirror, allowing you to see with clarity the wound within you. Once a person can own and see how they are responsible for their suffering, they can heal it themselves. I have had clients that insist they are fine- everyone else is the problem. I help them see there is no one else- only you. Just like there is no spoon. It is a difficult concept to grasp. Once it is, you aren\’t likely to forget it when circumstances show you your part in the big picture again.
In the movie, the spoon boy has several bent spoons on the floor in front of him. He has bent himself and his self-work has bent the spoons, and they stay that way. When Neo bends, he eventually curls his spoon but gets distracted by a person calling his name. His spoon becomes straight again. Learning to bend our reality, invoking our healing takes time and effort. Distractions will happen. Once we realize that our adjustment or bending is the transformation we seek, our restoration will appear in the world. Believing and behaving to reinforce the reality you desire becomes the permanently bent spoons in front of the boy. It is now a way of life instead of a sporadic occurrence.
The Other does not exist. There is only you. When you understand this concept, healing yourself means healing the world will no longer be impossible to grasp. Our world is our collective reflection. If we see injustice, where do we deny ourselves due process and honesty? Are we in denial about something? Do we lie to ourselves? If we see poverty, where are we feeling lack or inadequate? Do we withhold love from ourselves? Do we demand more from ourselves than we can give? If we see corruption, where have we misrepresented or polluted ourselves? Do we harm ourselves with food we know isn\’t good for us? Do we hide our imperfections and transgressions from ourselves?
Knowing there is no Other can be freeing. If we are the only ones to worry about and deal with, it is a simple matter of adjusting our beliefs and behaviors. The world we experience will have to conform to the new person we are. Who we are reflects outward. Looking deep within and healing our wounds is the answer to changing our reality. Individuals doing this en masse will fix the world\’s problems.
