A winding forest path strewn with various feathers leading into dense greenery
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the blue jays are spirit guides and the curriculum runs from inner wizardry to planetary consciousness, which honestly sounds like the most interesting school district on Earth.
Mara: Today we’re covering territory from Ari Joshua Bouse — one post that moves between personal spiritual practice and some very large questions about power, disclosure, and what it means to wake up in this particular moment.
Pip: Let’s start with the blue jay.
Awakening A Felt Sense Of Wizardry With Blue Jay As A Spirit Guide
Mara: The post opens with a striking tension: the gap between how advanced our technology has become and how spiritually underdeveloped we remain as a species — and what it costs us to ignore that gap.
Pip: The post puts it plainly: “energy is energy — it’s what we do with it that counts.” That line is doing a lot of work, sitting right next to a discussion of weaponized technology, governmental coverups, and the demonization of whistleblowers.
Mara: The upshot is that the same human capacity that built atomic weapons could be redirected. The post isn’t just making a spiritual argument — it’s making a political one about who benefits from keeping people spiritually asleep.
Pip: And the Blue Jay enters here not as a cute woodland mascot but as a specific kind of medicine — a crow’s-eye view, the post calls it, that helps people access what it describes as their “true inner wizardry.”
Mara: There’s a real distinction being drawn between spiritual pretenders and genuine mastery. The post asks directly: “Would you rather be a pretender to the throne or a true master?” That question anchors everything else.
Pip: The Wizard of Oz reference lands harder than you’d expect — the man behind the curtain isn’t just a metaphor for self-deception, it’s a stand-in for the Military-Industrial Complex specifically.
Mara: The post connects that to a broader argument about consciousness and cooperation. It closes with a vision where free clean energy ends wars and famine, where universal healthcare and public education are treated as rights, and where the ET presence — framed as spiritually evolved and non-threatening — is part of that larger awakening.
Pip: So the Blue Jay is the entry point, but the destination is Unity Consciousness and a co-creative New Earth. That’s quite a flight path for one bird.
Mara: The post frames it as a personal and collective process both — the Blue Jay within, as it puts it, reveals how to use power “properly and effectively.” Inner work and systemic transformation aren’t separate projects here.
Pip: Which leaves the real question sitting with the listener: what does it actually feel like to start?
Mara: The thread running through all of this is that awakening isn’t passive — it’s a practice with real political stakes.
Pip: Next time, more from Classroom Mothership Earth — wherever the curriculum takes us.
A Spiritual Traveler Encounters A Blue Jay Illuminating A Moonlit Forest Path.
A growing body of humans are awakening to the reality of the sickening rise of religious extremism, fascist thinking and the seductive underbelly behind the secrecy of the global cabal.
Likewise, our technology has far exceeded the spiritually evolved state of consciousness that we are capable of and need to awaken. As the old saying goes, energy is energy…it’s what we do with it that counts.
We all know there’s a lot of fake news out there; including the dog and pony show about ET disclosure, illegal private corporations and governmental coverups, and the spending our tax dollars illegally and without reserve. Without skipping a beat, this provocatively abusive and deeply engrained behavioral patterns are always cited under the guise of National Security.
As usual, whistleblowers who are trying to expose systemic injustices are being demonized instead of being encouraged and protected for telling the truth. It’s a dangerously developmentally delayed system, where wisdom needs to be seen and heard.
Otherwise, we can all use our imaginations to envision the catastrophic consequences of reinforcing this old paradigm.
But as we trek forward, remember that the powers that be are terrified of the spiritual powers that our meta human potential embodies. When we change the way we look at ourselves within the context of the 3D realm around us, the world around us literally changes before our eyes.
Enter the wise spirited guidance of working with Blue Jay energy medicine in the positive.
Would you rather be a pretender to the throne or a true master?
You already know what the hidden hand of the man behind the curtain is banking on, if you’ll pardon the Wizard of Oz & Military-Industrial Complex pun. Why do you think Hollywood invests billions on romancing an establishment of gifted pretenders?
Meditation on the energy of Blue Jay give us a Crow’s view of feathering the embers of our true inner wizardry. Our healers, guides, teachers and coaches are valuable resources to us as helpers along our way.
But at the end of the day, the Blue Jay within facilitates the process of getting in touch with a deeper and higher part of our souls that reveals how to use our power properly and effectively.
Our modern world showcases many dabbling spiritual pretenders out there that front being wise gurus. Of course the Empire’s Imperial friends in Congress prefer to go unexamined by keeping us distracted with handsomely paid experts hustling the god of opinion. But don’t be fooled by the man behind the curtain.
Geopolitically, This current criminal paradigm peddles the idea that We The People aka the rascal multitude are children that should be seen but not heard. There is great fear, particularly among our leaders, that the people have all kinds of crazy leveling impulses to “Form A Perfect Union”. Fear is the trump card, if you’ll pardon political pun.
The elitism and accompanying arrogance that flies within this energy field feels entitled to control the public mind behind closed doors. Because our friends at the top of the food chain are as indoctrinated as anyone. It’s hard to feel motivated to tune your frequency to a deeper and higher tune when you’ve got access to unlimited funds, coupled with entourage of really smart people doing your dirty work for you. Who payin’ you?
While “appetite comes with eating”, does this kind of hierarchical, patriarchal and linear thinking really reflect best business practice? Of course, it’s hard to prove otherwise to the movers and shakers of the highly lucrative and a slickly well oiled machine.
But the masterful illusion that the “ends justify the means” is merely a smokescreen. It’s a put on, vis a vis a false flag coverup to true wizardry of a budding and co-creative New Earth that is peacefully in alignment with Planetary and Universal Consciousness.
The Crow’s view of Blue Jay’s perch reveals that a mysterious and magical everyday abundance is available to all of us because there is enough and we can all win. We can experience living harmoniously on our Planet and beyond. The spiritually evolved ETs that are in alignment with God Consciousness and Cosmic Consciousness are here to support us and are not a threat.
Looking back, after we detonated the atomic bomb; we certainly got the ETs heightened attention. Keep in mind, they could have wiped us out immediately. If they wanted to take us over, they could have done it long before that. Game over.
As if shooting them down with reversed engineered technology that humans have secretly weaponized weren’t enough; capturing, torturing, abusing them in secret underground facilities, and then proliferating disgusting black opt programs that make it look like alien abductions, cattle mutilations, etc. weren’t enough. We then have disrupted their way of life (as well as ours) by creating and detonating these criminally insane weapons of mass destruction.
I am reminded of a wise psychologist that once said, “there’s more than one reality . . . (and) denial is a primitive but powerful defense mechanism. And it ain’t just a river in Egypt either, if I might add.
Fear is a tired old way of motivating people to stay complacent and keep the blinders on to maintain the status quo. It’s time for this stale mental box of compartmentalized thinking to be released and let go of, like the back peddled, fake weather balloon media demonstration that fronted as the Roswell crash in 1947.
When you want to sell the public on war mongering, you create an enemy that needs to be dehumanized. Of course the rise of armageddon fanatical thinking is happening now because the dominant dinosaurs in power are terrified of losing their grip.
But as we all stand up to this tyranny with courage, the noose of their grip will fade into the ghosts of yesteryear.
Wars, famine and poverty will end on this planet once we have free clean energy. When humanity awakens to a more cooperative cultivation and sharing of resources (like those at the top do with each other), then the disastrous idea of maximum economic profit is gone with the wind. Moreover, the devilish fighting over resources fades into an infinitely sealed black hole in the Universe for a light mulching composted form of transformation.
Universal health care is a right. Everyone should have equal access to clean air, drinking water and safely habitable shelter. Free public access to quality education is the hallmark of a free society that values “fairness, honesty and integrity”, like Grandfather would say.
During this process of systemic transformation, holding democratic principles in our awareness is a challenge and an opportunity. Being less disposable and more mindful of our daily consumption helps us awaken to Unity Consciousness and celebrate our diverse expression of Great Spirit. We are all cut from the same cloth.
In this writers experience, a real felt sense encounter with an ET or any Being in alignment with a spiritually evolved state of consciousness; humans included…stir something on the inside, and reveals another way of life that is worth supporting and expanding exponentially.
For this reason, role models like Lord Buddha and Lord Christ show us how to awaken our own Lordship and access the Kingdom of Heaven within.
May all Beings be free from suffering, and awaken to Joy and Light within our Collective Consciousness,

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the astrological, the political, and the deeply personal all share one frequency, and somehow it holds together.
Mara: Today we’re working through a piece by Ari Joshua Bouse that moves across a lot of terrain — political transition, the Aquarian Age, disclosure, and the spiritual calendar between winter and spring. Let’s start with that overarching question of where we actually are right now.
We Are Only One Song Away From Spring
Pip: The frame here is a moment of overlap — a political transition happening inside a much larger cosmic one, and the question of how those two timescales interact when you’re trying to stay grounded.
Mara: The post anchors that overlap in the seasonal calendar, and near the end it lands on Groundhog Day specifically: “Meditation on the in between times, mystical, mysterious energies, inner planes, echoing silence, void, and heartbeat” are offered as the right callbacks for this moment.
Pip: So the upshot is that Groundhog Day isn’t a punchline here — it’s the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, and the post treats that threshold as genuinely instructive about how change actually moves.
Mara: Right, and that’s the structural argument running through the whole piece. The political relief of a new administration fades fast — the post is direct about that — because the chattering monkey mind starts up again quickly. The deeper shift is astrological: a move from the Pisces Age to the Aquarian Age, measured in millennia, not election cycles.
Pip: Which is a useful corrective to anyone who thought January 20th was the finish line.
Mara: The post makes a careful point there about the people on different sides of that political moment. It says that most Trump voters “are not Nazis, Klan members or racists” but have been shaped by a divisive mindset that pushes everyone toward an us-versus-them frame — and that neither progressive nor conservative values hold a monopoly on the way forward.
Pip: And then it pivots — genuinely pivots — into UFO disclosure, which lands as less of a detour than you’d expect, because the argument is that ET concern for Earth is tied to humanity’s development of nuclear weapons. The stakes are planetary either way.
Mara: The post treats disclosure as a process, not an event. And it closes with something practical: I-messages, feeling statements, the right to say “I feel offended by that comment” and stand there without having to defend it. Personal authority as the ground-level version of the same sovereignty the post argues for cosmically.
Pip: Spring is underground. It’s firing, just not visible yet — which is maybe the whole thesis in one image.
Mara: The thread through all of this is the in-between — politically, seasonally, cosmically. The darkness isn’t the destination; it’s the passage.
Pip: You can’t get to the light if you won’t go through the dark. We’ll be back with more from Classroom Mothership Earth.

Hi Folks! Mercury in Retrograde goes back direct today. As my wise old spiritual counselor Leo would say, keep in mind that the mental fog tends to lift & clear up over the next 10 days or so. Also, be patient with left brain cognition & machines as they come back online during this time. In the meantime, please enjoy this new AI 2 person podcast as an appetizer for my newest book:
Ladies and Gentlemen…Introducing AI Podcast Characters Pip & Mara On Ari’s Multimedia Writing:
Pip: Climate grief, ancestral memory, and the kind of soul wounds that don’t show up on an X-ray — Classroom Mothership Earth is not pulling punches this week.
Mara: Ari Joshua Bouse has been publishing through Edge of Humanity Magazine, and the work lands squarely on climate change, trauma, and what we carry from those who came before us. Let’s start with the new published material and what it’s actually doing.
New Published Material
Pip: The through-line across these pieces is a question worth sitting with: what does climate change cost us emotionally, spiritually, and across generations — not just ecologically?
Mara: The series is titled “A Novel Read into the New Shorelines of Climate Change,” and the post announces it plainly: “Please see my newly published writings via Edge of Humanity Magazine.”
Pip: That framing — new shorelines — does real work. Shorelines shift. They don’t vanish cleanly; they encroach. Using that as a metaphor for what climate change does to inner life as much as coastline is a choice worth noticing.
Mara: The series spans three distinct pieces. The first is a poem called “Overcoming Deep Traumatic Soul Wounds” — which puts psychological injury right alongside environmental upheaval, treating them as the same conversation.
Pip: Which they arguably are. The literature on climate grief has been making exactly that case for a decade, and here it’s arriving as verse rather than a journal abstract.
Mara: The second piece, “Weathering Changing Weather Patterns,” shifts register slightly — the title itself is doing double duty, the literal and the internal sitting on top of each other. And the third, “Remembering Our Ancestors,” is another poem, this one pulling the lens back to lineage and what prior generations understood about living with a changing earth.
Pip: So you have trauma, adaptation, and ancestral knowledge — three movements that together make something closer to a full emotional map of the climate moment than any single essay could.
Mara: All three sit inside a larger project that Edge of Humanity Magazine is running under that “New Shorelines” banner, which suggests this isn’t a one-off but an ongoing body of work finding its public form.
Pip: Poetry as climate literature — not the most obvious delivery mechanism, but possibly the most honest one.
Mara: The shoreline metaphor keeps expanding the more you sit with it — what’s eroding, what’s being redrawn, what we’re trying to hold onto.
Pip: Next time, more from the edge. Worth watching where those shorelines move.

We Shall Overcome
A Full Strawberry Moon on June 29 reflects lineage connections to the Algonquin and other North American nations who noticed the connection between the wild berry harvest to this Full Moon.
Also, Mercury will be in Retrograde on June 29 – July 23. These energies are in alignment with slowing things down, reflecting on the past, and focusing on the here and now.
Energetically, Mercury in Retrograde is a good time to be mindful of subconscious thoughts, including past programming. These energies can be a healing and highly intuitive time when we work with its energies intensionally.
Moreover, our psychic abilities and dreams can become triggered so that we can tap into deeper insights by working with our subconscious minds in ways where the unseen realms yield useful information to light our way.
A colorful New Moon in Cancer rises in the skies on July 14, 2026. Cancer season continues till July 22nd.
As always, new beginnings are in the air. And specifically, the new waves coming into the shores bring back feeling safe in family matters of the hearth, and other related activities like cooking and gardening.
Crabs are known to weather their emotional fluctuations. Might as well be mindful of co-creating a sense of belonging in the world.
Cancer the Crab is a time when we are encouraged to focus on nourishment, self-care, and our emotional health that breathes in a softer tone that supports reconnecting with ourselves and our hearts. Crabs reflect emotional sensitivity and tapping into the feeling realm.
Remember there is God in forgiveness, and it can be good to get out of our heads; especially when getting seduced into negative self talk narratives.
Or perhaps merely an atheistic appreciation the mysterious forces of Nature are enough to be shelter from the storm.
Looking ahead, a Full Buck Moon will happen on July 29. This Moon gets its name from the Native American observation that male deer antlers began growing in late spring and reach peak growth in July. Many Native Alaskans called this moon the Salmon Moon for its timing with salmon runs.
Whereas in Celtic culture, this moon has been known as the Wyrt (Wort), Mead or Herb Moon because most herbs can withstand harvesting by July. And in Anglo Saxon lineage, this moon was known as the Hay Moon. Bees buzzing out and about reinforce that honey is the elixir of life.
It is important for all humans to remember our shared history. This includes our lineage connections to our indigenous ancestral roots that are part of our planetary history before Colonization. This has impacted everyone and continues to do so.
Of course knowing our spiritual roots connects to that truth as well. Because we all have stardust in our DNA, not to mention oral traditions passed down about our cosmic connections to the Sky People.
Speaking of cosmic connections, a growing body of people are talking about Disclosure these days:
Late July’s full moon cycle amplifies a strong need for emotional freedom that can heighten emotional complexities.
Whether you’re an ET, human or otherwise; the resonate point is that harmonizing with groups can be challenging for everyone till you get into the right vibe, if you’ll pardon the multidimensional pun.
Moreover, Aquarian energies that also constitute July’s full moon cycle can intensify in those of us with strong rebellious streaks, our need to assert ourselves, and can make getting along in groups feel more challenging.
But then again, that’s just part of the human condition.
Speaking of the human condition, fear, anger and jealousy aren’t particularly healthy emotional cravings. And yet, all emotions are fleeting and transient, so we might as well see them as they are; no more or no less.
Besides, the power of community shows that people can be good mirrors for each other to reflect on what triggers us, and can shed light on better understanding of our humanity.
Finally, the tides of Leo season roll in from July 22-August 22. Tis the season to broadcast radically confident self-expression through the heart chakra, and a friendly reminder to nurture our inner child. Leo’s energies encourage movement out of the shadows, and stepping into the light with courage and passion.
Of course dominating the spotlight and always stealing the show can be blinding; as is self-stimulation as a form of meddling into the affairs of others. Besides, it can come across as an arrogant form of defensive pride.
Truly, the 3D realm we live in still carries a strong identification as an outer directed culture. Might as well see this reality as a friendly reminder that we stand in a deeper and higher personal authority when we stop chasing after happiness in the form of “praise, likes, or applause.”
May all Beings awaken to God Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Diversity within Unity, Inner Peace and the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth,

Pip: Mercury is in retrograde, paradigms are shifting, and somewhere a crocus is bravely breaching the frost — welcome to Classroom Mothership Earth.
Mara: This episode follows Ari Joshua Bouse into questions about consciousness, imagination, and what it actually means to navigate a world in transition. Let’s start with the post that frames all of it — what’s in this for any of us.
What’s In It For Me? A New World If You Can Take It.
Pip: The post opens with a provocation: we are collectively in transition, between paradigms, and the question is how you hold yourself together while the scenery changes around you.
Mara: The grounding line comes from Amit Goswami, who the post cites as arguing that consciousness is “the foundation of existence that causes the wave function to collapse into a single experienced reality.”
Pip: Which is a dense way of saying that what you believe about reality shapes the reality you experience — and that science and spirituality are, as the post puts it, converging in waves.
Mara: The post builds that convergence from several directions. Indigenous oral traditions — the Hopi origin story gets a specific nod — carry accounts of Sky People and humanity’s relationship with Mother Earth that predate modern frameworks by millennia.
Pip: And then there are the credentialed dissenters: Colonel Phillip J. Corso, author of The Day After Roswell, and Harvard psychiatrist John E. Mack, who wrote Passport to the Cosmos. Both decorated, both professionally established long before they started talking publicly about UFO and ET phenomena.
Mara: The post treats them as contextual witnesses — people whose prior credibility makes their later accounts harder to dismiss. The through-line is that stories about where we come from are not fixed. They shift the way seasons do.
Pip: The Mercury retrograde framing earns its keep here. The post compares it to The Twilight Zone — that liminal, slightly disorienting space where the usual rules feel suspended and perception gets elastic.
Mara: And the practical counsel the post lands on is this: stay playful, stay light-hearted, maintain a healthy detachment. The warning is against fixed thinking and fear-based framing — what the post calls “doomsday scenarios” and “war-mongering mentality.”
Pip: Einstein opens the whole thing — imagination over knowledge — and by the end you understand why. Knowledge consolidates what already exists. Imagination is what gets you through a paradigm shift without calcifying.
Mara: The post closes with a reminder that we may not control what happens, but we do choose our attitudes. Spring is arriving, crocuses are coming up, and the work is staying open to what’s next.
Pip: Consciousness as foundation, imagination as the tool, and a crocus as the unlikely mascot of paradigm change.
Mara: The territory here keeps expanding — next time, more from the edges of what we think we know.
Please enjoy the original post that inspired this podcast version at the link below:
Since the birth of this blog back in 2011, we have explored expanding consciousness together.
I remember when I was in social work school and living in Miami, and the need to learn how to meditate was calling out to me loud and clear. Like most of us, I white knuckled it for most of my life beforehand. Yeah, I had learned some effective coping strategies, but nothing like the consistent mindfulness practice that helps me stay in the flow, zone or alignment today.
Back in my Miami days, I had developed a nice connection with a teacher at my second internship who knew that I had started meditating. And he was excited to tell me about a hypnotherapy session that he had gone to with a licensed therapist who specialized in clinical hypnosis in his practice. After hearing about it, I wanted in, as did some of my social work peers.
Subsequently, the hypnotherapy session was the first time where I had a direct perceptible experience where I clearly glimpsed my soul’s essence. As in the formless part of my consciousness that was the deepest part of my identity that I had ever experienced till then. What was also clear was that I recognized that the formless part of me was also part of a collective consciousness that we are all part of.
And then many years later, I had a similar experience in a tai chi workshop; when I closed my eyes and saw both my formless self, as well as the formless selves of the other students in the workshop. Colorful prisms of the rainbow were also part of the experience.
Like the hypnotherapy session, I got feedback that I had “gone very deep”. The best part of the experience was that it wasn’t coveted or scripted because I did not have a sense of expectation, was in a really open place on the inside, nor had any idea that I could experience such a thing. Both experiences were spiritual awakenings, and a portal into deeper and higher form of consciousness.
At the end of the day, we have a choice to be a teacher of suffering or a teacher of presence. For those of you who have tried on both hats and know the difference, you already know the latter is the preferred way to go. If you find yourself arguing with that, then hopefully you’ll awaken to the truth that you are reinforcing the point.
But then again, suffering is always a catalyst to opening portals into consciousness, and being present with what is. From that perspective, the curse becomes the blessing or the blessing itself is the curse.
Or like George Lucas said about the Star Wars story, “the Empire is the Republic and the Republic is the Empire”.
During Mercury in Retrograde, and this Pisces season, we truly are fish in water swimming in a larger sea of consciousness, including soul travel.
Just as my old spiritual counselor would say about Pisces, “it is the best of signs and the worst of signs.”
What he meant by that is like all energy, we can work with it in the positive or negative. At its best, Pisces best trait is empathy. At it’s worst, their energies can be like sacrificial lambs.
A fish going with the flow and swimming downstream is a very different experience than fighting the current and swimming upstream. I’ve done both, and prefer to swim with the current rather than against it.
Or like Colin Hay (from Men At Work) sings, “My, my, my, it’s a beautiful world . . . I like to swim out beyond the white breakers, where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)”.
Through the echoing channels of Spirit, I can hear my old Teacher saying that we all have the signs of the zodiac within our being, in much the same way as we have the entire Universe within us.
Pisces energies are unique, in the sense that they are the tail end of the zodiac- so just as all rivers and lakes eventually empty into the oceans, all signs eventually flow into Pisces.
Just as an example, science has revealed that we all have stardust encoded in our human DNA.
Interestingly, Starseeds are said to descend from various star systems that incarnate as humans or are perhaps visited by ETs or trans-dimensional beings in the form of downloads in consciousness.
Stories about dolphins and whales are said to originate from watery Sirius:
To Wit: Have you heard the one about the treatment facility for dolphins with major mental health issues?
It’s called the School For Intensive Porpoises.
When contemplating human spiritual DNA, lineage or ancestry, consider the African Dogon Tribe’s connection to ancient Egypt, and Sirius in the Dog Star constellation.
What a long, strange, trip it’s been:
Regardless of where we come from, were we are going or what lifetimes we have lived; when you get down to it, it’s the now, the eternal moment or presence that really matters. It Is What It Is . . . Everything else is really just chatter. And while you’re at it, “keep hope alive”.
May all Beings be free of suffering awaken to the dimension of Inner Peace, and Cosmic Consciousness.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
–Albert Einstein
Mercury in Retrograde (currently February 26th-March 20th) is often viewed as perceptually akin to the classic old TV series The Twilight Zone.
Growing up, I heard some of my family members talk about how they loved that show, and how they watched it faithfully at that time. By the time of was a teenager in the 80s, the old show was resurrected and reimagined into a new version with the same name. I enjoyed watching both versions.
Check out the brief opening sequence to the show below that illustrates the point:
Looking back on humanity’s origins, our Indigenous ancestors have passed down stories about the Sky People, their relationship with Mother Earth, and their influences on our evolution as a species.
Just as an example, check out the brief Hopi Origin Story clip below for contextual understanding:
And then some years later, just after I finished graduate school and began my career as a professional social worker, I read a couple of non-fiction books entitled, The Day After Roswell, by the late Colonel Phillip J. Corso, and Passport To The Cosmos, by the late Harvard Psychiatrist, John E. Mack. Both American men were Veterans, and highly respected within their professional fields, long before they started speaking out about UFO and ET phenomena.
Check out the interviews with them below to see for yourself what they had to say about their experiences. Consider how their stories provides further contextual understanding to our current developing narrative on this important topic:
Furthermore, respected scientists like, Amit Goswami, “argue that consciousness is the ‘foundation of existence’ that causes the wave function to collapse into a single experienced reality.”
From this perspective, the convergence of science and spirituality are coming in waves, if you’ll pardon the pun.
During its lifetime, this blog has explored consciousness and the reality of its mystery.
Stories about where we come from, our purpose here, and where we are going are not fixed states.
Rather, like seasons, our experiences are fluid and changing.
In much the same way as Spring and Fall are arriving (depending on where you are on the Planet), humanity is collectively in a transition between paradigms.
In this writer’s neck of the woods, birds are singing and you can see evidence of Spring happening. Days are getting lighter, crocuses are starting to breach, and warmer temperatures are starting to show up in the forecast. But Winter is still hanging around, and is quite adept at reminding humans about it; to the chagrin of the moods of many.
From a expanding soul consciousness perspective, the way the aforementioned material is playing out in the 3D realm is shifting.
As such, a growing body of us are seeing the world change before our eyes.
The trick is to not get seduced into any Doomsday scenarios or fear-based war mongering mentality.
Remember there is nothing more devilish than fixed mind, rigid thinking, or a hardened heart.
We may not always be able to control what happens to us.
But we do have the power to choose our attitudes.
Keep in kind mindfulness that a playful, light-hearted and healthy sense of detachment can go a long way to keep your wits about you…especially as we moved forward during the tumultuous times we are living in right now.
May all Beings be free from suffering, and know Inner Peace as an awakening State of Consciousness,
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.

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,
A Beaver Moon fades into the backdrop after waning from its full status on November 5th. This Full Moon gave reflection to heightened pre-winter activity in preparation for colder temperatures, freezing waters, and the arriving winter season.
Just after that, Mercury went in Retrograde on November 9, and will remain there till going back direct on November 29.
Time to turn our clocks yin-ward to rewind, reflect, remember and slow down our pace. Darker days and cooler temperatures give us a natural advantage to journey into our inner caves, and gently allow the seeds underground to rest and hibernate, till its time to wake up in the spring.
Speaking of journeying into our inner caves . . .
Connect to the ancient indigenous people that still remain in underground societies. Heed their stories of communion with the Sky People, who were harbingers of change back Zen and as they still are right Tao.
Mercury in Retrograde can facilitate the process of receiving deeper insights into our subconscious minds. Tis the season for introspection, self-reflection, meditation and journaling.
Additionally, about a week before Thanksgiving; a New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th powers up deeper feelings. Moreover, meaningful relational exchanges may give less incentives to pursuing shallow relationships that no longer quench your thirst.
Human beings are complex, as are our relationships. Superficial relationships are challenged by the complexity of developing more meaningful relationships that challenge us to push our edges, and act as catalysts to grow in ways that our souls need.
Purification in relationships awakens us to sail with the winds of change at our backs. Being triggered by any chaotic energies can help us face up to what is rising to the surface for us to re-examine, and re-evaluate on how we want to move forward.
Keep in mind that it is still the Year of the Snake; which is highly symbolic of transformation. May the shedding of old skin or death of the old self awaken transformative inner alchemy by stoking the embers of your percolating new self.
What old wounds are you carrying from your longitudinal and multidimensional quest that you would like to release and let go of?
What old narratives do you wish to let go of, based on the stories that have been projected onto you or that you have adopted as your own?
What new growth would you like to see the light of day in the New Year ahead?
Appreciate that tunneling into the underground caverns of our souls requires facing unknowing and uncertainty with faith and trust that we will be shown the way. May we be mindful of and guided by the signs and synchronicities as supportive guides in the mirror of our minds.
A Cold Full Moon on December 4th, followed by 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.
Of course, it is the opposite in the Southern hemisphere because it will be the Summer Solstice; signaling the lightest day of the year there. Movement toward subtle waning light carries on after that.
Furthermore, it will be the New Year of the Fire Horse on February 17th, not long after the Imbolc aka Groundhog Day on February 2nd. By that time, Spring (or Autumn in the Southern hemisphere) will be starting energetically, even if only subtle hints are perceptible at that time.
The choice is ours what we choose to carry with us along our lifetimes. By that I mean what our ancestors have passed down on to us versus what we want to give back for inner alchemy and transformation.
We are magnetic creatures that are made up of energy. Like attracts like.
If we want to receive change, we have to become the change we want to see in the world first. We have to open up to the frequencies of joy and light if we want to become joy and light, just as examples.
May all Beings be free and awaken to the vibration of Inner Peace,
