Riding A Whale Of A Tide, Surfing Waves Of Climate Change & Emptying Into A Watery Pisces Sea Of Consciousness

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Galloping into the year of the Fire Horse on February 17th, seasonal transitional energies are blowing in the wind, and kicking up dust along the frontiers ahead. Pisces season starts a couple of days after that till the forthcoming Equinox in later March.

Keep in mind that the Eclipse Season further fuels the flames of transformation with a Solar Eclipse on the Chinese New Year, and then a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 3rd. Many of you are already feeling the energies of the Spring Eclipses now.

Mercury will be in Retrograde on February 26th-March 20th. This mysterious Twilight Zone reality aligns with free-spirited, soul traveling and meditative Pisces. Nothing to get superstitious about, just allow yourself to go with the flow, and embrace the unknown waters waiting to spring forth new perceptual experiences, if you’ll pardon the pun.

A Full Worm Moon on March 3 reminds us that Spring is arriving, and the early bird gets the worm. Everything is ephemeral because the Law of Transience reflects that seasonal changes are in the air, and we are reminded that the only constant is change.

Speaking of Spring, the Vernal Equinox on March 20th reflects the seasonal transition between the end of Pisces and the beginning of Aries. It’s out with the old, and in with the new. New life is bursting at the seams with new growth and energies. The reason that Easter, which will happen on April 5th this year, is often associated with eggs is because eggs are symbolic of fertility, new growth and rebirth.

Does anyone out there remember that 70s TV Show called Mork & Mindy, about an ET who comes to Earth in an Egg Shaped Spaceship? Isn’t there a non-coincidental felt sense of resurrection in that?

Reflecting on technology that is out of this world, what’s up with the mysterious comet 3I/ATLAS?

Of course, there are mixed reviews but check out the scientific quote below:

“Scientists say that 3I/ATLAS has likely been traveling through interstellar space for a long time . . . University of Oxford astronomer Matthew Hopkins is part of a team of scientists that think 3I/ATLAS, discovered on July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS Survey Telescope, is around 7 billion years old . . . All non-interstellar comets, such as Halley’s Comet formed at the same time as our solar system, so they are up to 4.5 billion years old,” Hopkins said in a statement. “But interstellar visitors have the potential to be far older, and of those known about so far, our statistical method suggests that 3I/ATLAS is very likely to be the oldest comet we have ever seen.”

Remember that comets are historically seen as harbingers of change, in much the same way as Eclipse seasons are known as shakeups in consciousness. Think of them working collaboratively together as catalysts for transformation.

Dreamy Pisces awakens oceanic visions of water and its multidimensional beings, like whales, that live in its element. I remember when I had two specifically similar perceptible transformative shifts in consciousness during experiences with Whale consciousness.

The first encounter in consciousness happened while submerged in a pitch black sensory depravation floating tank filled with saltwater. And then the second experience transpired a few years later during a holotropic breathwork workshop in 2016.

Holotropic breath work was invented by the Grofs, two therapists who developed a natural way to access altered states through breathwork. Evocative music played during the breathing session, followed by non-verbal mandala artwork afterword as a way to silently integrate the experience. To learn more about holotropic breathwork, check out the link below:

GROF® BREATHWORK.

During the encounters with Whale, I had authentic shapeshifting experiences, where I literally turned into a whale, energetically speaking at least. It’s hard to put into words what happened to me.

Looking back on these experiences, I felt as if I went into a deep dive into a previously unexplored empathic frequency. Even though I was aware that I was still a human being in a pitch black coffin-like saltbox of water; at the same time I had also transformed into the consciousness of huge whale in the depths of the ocean.

During the breath work meditation, I shifted into the energy of whale again. This time however, my consciousness experienced a frequency shift by ‘swimming’ into a perceptibly deeper and higher form of consciousness.

As I ‘swam’ through the waters while still embodying Whale consciousness, I encountered and also transformed into all of the animal spirits found in the first edition of my first book, Something to Chew On. The best way I can describe the experience is that it felt like I was reading the energy of the book’s material from a deeper state of consciousness that involved a telepathic-empathic form of awareness.

As heartwarming and mindblowing as these experiences were, they felt so natural. It was as if I was literally tuning into the heartbeat and frequency of our living planet Gaia.

Ah, talk about taking the plunge into unchartered waters, and an evolving co-regulative communication between an author and their muse!

Writing about consciousness is merely using the form of words as signposts to point in the right direction. Perhaps the consciousness of writers will awaken from their own lyrics, just as the consciousness of the readers will awaken from reading the author’s poetic prose. Tapping into our sense of resiliency is key. The short inspirational clip below features Mexican-American, Detroit native singer-songwriter Rodriquez that further amplifies the sentiment:

At the time of the aforementioned experiences with Whale, I had a a sound intellectual, and early spiritual understanding of the old spiritual and scientific stories that whales had big brains, great intelligence, and carried the heartbeat and consciousness of the planet.

But I was also working on getting more in alignment with my soul purpose; as in deepening my learning curve to go beyond my intellect into a more intuitive realm of knowing.

My experiences with Sacred Whale Medicine certainly invited newly awakened portals of perception and consciousness expansion.

Interestingly, humans are mostly water, in the sense that water makes up the majority of our form.

Curiously, water is a conductor of sound and an elemental force of primordial creation.

But beyond that, we are mostly formless, energetic beings of light.

May we ride the waves without getting washed out in the surf.

From that perspective, this wisdom reveals that humans are creative beings who can align with sound and light frequencies that can change our vibrations.

We are both form and formless. The formless shines through the form, and is the presence or light of consciousness that illuminates our form because it radiates from the inside out.

Further, this process can lead to a dimensional shift in our consciousness that is a real perceptible and felt sense experience. That’s why there is a growing reception to the movement in sound and light therapy as effective forms of energy work.

In much the same way as Easter’s connection to eggs, Mork’s egg-like spaceship, and of course past Creation stories of the Cosmic Egg . . . Check out the sign of the times Harmonic Egg featured in the video below:

Remember, the Truth is that we will tip the scales on our Planet and beyond our current state of consciousness when we move further away from fear, and instead closer to Love. Fear has been perpetrated onto us by certain old powers that be that are afraid to give up their control issues.

Keep in mind that when you are in a place of Joy and Light, it’s harder to get seduced or bogged down in the heaviness of the world or give up your power to others. The Power of Love isn’t going away. Consider the clip below as a friendly reminder to have the Grace to know that the Truth of the power of Love shall set us free!

May all Beings be free and awaken to the dimension of inner peace,

Taking The Mythical Step Through A Portal Into Infinity Revisited . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Uncategorized

I wrote this poem in November of 2013. Thought it would be nice to revisit with illustration & live video recording of poetry reading. Note the synchronicity of the old comet reference back Zen and the new comet in our consciousness (3I/Atlas) right Tao:

We stand at the doorstep of Infinity . . .
Massive change is coming our way

A Full-Moon on Sunday . . .
Trailed by a Comet in its waning wake

Giddy-Up toward the darkest hour on the Winter Solstice . . .
Coaxing back the Light in the dark of the Night

Releasing egoic entanglements with form . . .
Spirited energies realigning who we are

Rising tides of oceanic waves flooding our sea of consciousness . . .
Slumbering folks waking up from napping while under the influence of systemic conditioning

Sitting at the dock of the bay in meditation space . . .
Theta state in the green lantern heart space

Feeling waters of empathy bubbling up wells of Love . . .
Illuminating my soul

O darkness of yin . . .
Light a moonshadow o’er inner landscapes

Checking out energetic pulsations of neurotransmitters traveling through bodily pathways . . .
Portals to consciousness are they

Consciousness, Comets And Transdimensional Movement Through Portals Into A New Age And Paradigm

Posted on by under Consciousness, Uncategorized

Mercury went back direct on November 29. It’s often a time that feels like the old Twilight Zone TV show to many people. Be kind to your mind during this transition, especially because it usually takes approximately 10 days before the mental fog clears up.

Are you listening to your dreams, decoding their symbols, and noticing the heightened synchronicities revealing themselves all around you?

A Full Cold Supermoon arrives on December 4th. Remember Supermoons are like Full Moons on steroids. This Full Moon will amplify universal energies at this time.

Paradoxically, these energies can soften our hearts and minds. When energies are amplified, it’s especially important to be gentle and soft on ourselves and each other.

When we are faced with the need for changes and spontaneity, we can find a sense of safety in thinking about our feelings and sharing them with other people. People are meant to come down into their souls more during the holidays, and particularly in December.

Try not to get sucked into running the hurry up offense during societal consumerist mania. A cool head can be an asset. But but a cold heart can cut you off from the spirit and magic of the season; as well as become a Grinch who steals this from others. Harmony of the head and the heart is a balanced way to be present at this time.

Like water, taichi is a friendly reminder that there is power in softening our edges. Because, like water, cultivating this energy builds gradually. Eventually, a slow drip gains momentum and cultivates power.

Surrender deeply to the river of life and allow it to flow with grace and ease through your body and soul.

And then a New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19 welcomes new beginnings to satiate the hunger of expansive souls. A positive outlook on life and belief that things will get better; even when confronted by challenges, is part of an effective transformation process.

After the New Moon, the Winter Solstice on December 21 will mark the darkest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere. This is the time when our ancestors coaxed back the light; which gently allows for shifts in our consciousness into a new dawn of awakening. Even in darkness, there is light.

The Winter Solstice is a good time for us to get in touch with and express our gratitude for what we have experienced over the past year. Tis the season to let go of anything that we are struggling with, have little or no control over or any resistances to what is persisting in our lives. The clinging and grasping is part of what we resist that persists. Let it all go. A ceremonial fire ritual, especially in a community of people is a powerful way to capture the sentiment.

I remember when a community of men stood around the fire and got real for over a decade around the Winter Solstice. It was a powerful time. Men often hurt in ways that we are not even aware. This can manifest in a garden variety of ways, like the way men often use humor as a way to approach, and then retreat. It’s hard not lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay. In the old patriarchy, avoiding intimacy is just something you do. But thankfully, the times they are a changin’. By redefining masculinity, we see that being in touch with our feminine sides; such as listening and being sensitive are powerful ways to be men. Besides, it makes us better role models.

Let go of the shores and trust that you will be guided and taken to where you most need to be.

The New Year of the Fire Horse on February 17th will reflect many more big changes coming down the pike. In Shamanism, the energy of Horse symbolizes personal freedom. Consider perceiving the fire element as a blazing saddle that will facilitate the development of a further sense of personal freedom in our lives as we build new frontiers together.

Energetically, one of harbingers of big changes coming our way is the arriving mysterious interstellar comet that scientists are calling 3I/Atlas. It appears that there are mixed reviews about 3I/Atlas’ constitution. It seems that there is agreement among many that 3I/Atlas it is ancient; as in billions of years old, in linear time at least. And apparently, there is a high level of consciousness embodied within it. But as Indigenous people have long known; there is consciousness in everything.

Be mindful that with a deeper and higher sense of personal freedom, which is an Aquarian personality trait; comes the freedom to choose and responsibility to act on how we navigate these big changes we are facing.

As we have discussed in this blog, comets have historically been seen as harbingers of change. I don’t think its a coincidence that this ancient comet has associations with the Sun, and is moving through our neck of the woods into the Year of the Fire Horse. Our Solar Plexus Chakra is our inner sun or our personal will. And the Sun gives us sustenance.

We have been programmed to shy away from mystery, and fear the dark and unknown. But it really is the question that drives us. It’s hard to go wrong with a position of curiosity and empathy.

Allow your imagination to be free to see and feel beyond the veils of ‘normal’ reality into the unseen realms and mysteries of the soul.

Regardless of what exactly 3I/Atlas is, it already appears to be shifting our collective consciousness. There is no doubt in my mind that it has a role to play in awakening a more transcendental, expansive and open hearted and minded perception of the world we live in.

Ponder its universal energies as being a much needed upgrade to elevate our consciousness . . . So that we are equipped to effectively evolve into new ways of being spiritual beings having human experiences.

Of course there is always freewill and choice. If you look at this comet from the viewpoint of the lizard brain, then it will probably look ominous and perhaps seen as a threat.

Given past behavior, we can predict with a high level of confidence that the military-industrial complex looks at it that way, and the talking heads on the media will probably parrot the party line they are ordered to repeat. A real free press doesn’t do that, nor does a more free thinking, fair and just society foment that kind of deception.

Pun alert: Because of the aforementioned tendency, this writer wouldn’t be surprised if an elaborate Wizard of Oz like Wicked elaborate hoax is already being manufactured as we speak. Of course, their intent is to try to control the narrative by keeping people distracted, afraid and enslaved in devilishly repetitive and fixed ideas. The battle to control the public mind is nothing new.

Isn’t it insane to want to keep people asleep, when we are meant to awaken to our Better Angels?

But then again, you all know the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing, and expect different results.

Remember that every moment is a new moment, including another moment to be liberated from being driven to distraction.

That’s why is so important to be mindful of the living moment and the power to remember to breathe and focus on positive self talk. The living moment is always there for us to live and breathe in.

As we look back over the last year, December a powerful time where we can slow down and reflect on forgiveness and acceptance, and focus more on giving, peace, and joy.

Slow down, see the playing field, and welcome a gentle and soft approach with the energies at play right now. Allowing for openness and receptivity, and thinking about what you can do for others is the gift that keeps on giving.

May All Beings Be Free and Know Inner Peace,

Ari

Comets, Constellations & Climate Change

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

I remember when I saw a fireball with my naked eyes, while driving to play with the old garage band one night, many moons ago.

Different from fireballs, comets are known to be harbingers of change.

Pun Alert: While comets and fireballs are out of this world; like them, we all have stardust encoded in our constitution.

Speaking of comets, has anyone heard about the arriving mysterious interstellar comet that scientists are calling 3I/Atlas?

This more recent timeline development reminded me that explorations of co-creating Heaven on Earth have been an intentional commitment regularly revisited in this blog over the years.

All that means is a shift in consciousness that awakens a more transcendental, expansive and open hearted and minded perception of the world we live in.

Evolutionary impulses are often led by a simple shift in mindset, even though it doesn’t appear to be simple at the time.

Worldviews collapse and realign led by individuals and small groups of people whose doors of perception are cleansed, and energized to see things as they truly are.

We all know the mountains of opposition that are at play to keep humanity in the dark about seeing clearly; as revealed in Plato’s classic book, Allegory of the Cave.

From a position of empathy and a compassionate approach, it’s really frightening to the powers that be to feel like their power and control structures are being dismantled and dissolved as we speak.

But a deeper sense of identity is awakened when we have the courage to leave behind the realm of manipulation; the place where we feel fed by manipulating and controlling others.

When you’re sitting atop the pyramid, it can be challenging to see that a more equitable triangle is far more buoyant than the one we’ve got going right now.

It’s reflective of a developmentally delayed system that supports the current inequities that we face, which is unsustainable. Many in various circles are fed up with this set-up.

Before my last 20 year gig as a school social worker, I worked as a day treatment clinician at a large mental health organization with a garden variety of special purpose programs that served children and families.

During that time period, I had the honor to work with a brilliant psychologist, who was a catalyst in transforming the culture at the time so that we could operate in a more collaborative way with students, their families and their sending school districts.

Back then, clinicians led the treatment team of teachers and other school staff. Each clinician carried a caseload of students. During these meetings, clinicians took turns presenting by prefacing our communication with a ‘frame’. All that means is that we would capture the focus of the treatment process with a sentence or even a word; such as “all family members will regulate themselves” or “accountability”.

It was at that time that a novel personal frame or mantra came up in meditation to co-create heaven on earth.

Nobody can do that alone because like the African proverb says, ‘it takes a village’. I remember learning the origins of that frame back in social work school from one of my favorite teachers who taught our policy classes.

In the brief year and a half I worked at the day treatment school, I gained invaluable systemic experience, from a mental health perspective at least. This was over several years before this blog existed, but I had started getting more disciplined about spending time meditating alone out in Nature.

In much the same way as the divisive us and them duality that is fading away in a dying old age; the special purpose school was going through an identity crisis of whether we were a treatment facility or an educational facility.

The reality is that we were both, but we were merely a microcosm of what we are going through now as we are transitioning a New Age and Paradigm.

Furthermore, there have been many different prophecies that have spoken of the Climate Change that we are going through on our planet today, humanity notwithstanding.

Back when the early signs of colonization were noticed by Indigenous shamans, these trusted leaders would then return to their villages, and tell folks about the changes that were on their way.

For example, these wise leaders noticed that the wave formations were changing by the shorelines; in a way that gave them the vision to see ships coming in on the horizon. Appreciate that these forthcoming ships had not yet been integrated into their worldview.

It’s like when you learned a new word that you believed you’ve never heard before. And then you hear it more and more after that till it becomes part of your common language experience.

Or like when wise Native American elders saw visions of big bugs crawling over the lands, and big birds flying across the skies before cars or planes existed. And then at some point after that, cars and planes became easily recognizable.

Perhaps someone noticed a comet or other celestial activity beforehand that aligned with the physical evidence of the changing wave patterns.

Prophecy is not the end of the world. But like the old REM song, it’s the end of the world as we know it.

The purification we are going through now reflects the beginning of a new reality. Heaven on Earth is a shift in consciousness; therefore a shift in reality.

It’s like when one door closes, another door opens. It was probably your anticipatory anxiety or projected fears about the forthcoming change that seemed spookier than when you began allowing the chips to fall where they may.

In the death of your old self, there was a new self that began to blossom.

Just like the transition from one season to another, seasonal changes aren’t only concrete. If you are paying attention to the shades of gray, you will see the subtle (and not so subtle) evidence of the changing seasons that are on their way.

Like a wise spiritual teacher says, “Don’t argue with fear; comfort it. Be the calm in the current”.

Surrender to the process.

Inner stillness simply balances out opposition.

Enjoy the ride!
