If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

In much the same way as the old Hopi saying asserts that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for; awakening to communication with ETs is a real perceptible experience intended for We The People.
That being said, they’re already here and have been around a lot longer than we have.
Akin to the end of the recent Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, it isn’t about what I would ask them, it’s more about heeding their invitational callback by stepping into our power by stepping up to Cosmic Consciousness . . .
Listen.
And you can’t listen if you’re talking at the same time. It’s a cold hard fact of life.
Telepathy and empathy go together.
If we listen and are open to what the present moment has to communicate with us, then an interdependent form of coregulative and collaborative communication will take place.
Truly, a Harmonic Convergence, so to speak.
Or like encounters with animal spirits, this happens when fear is not present. Otherwise, they will leave us alone.
Besides, seeing animal tracks reveals that the animals are around; if not directly as evidenced by our field of vision. Same with ETs.
Many of you already know what they would say to us:
As in, our future selves only exist so long as we survive and make the quantum leap into our next level of consciousness by walking into the reality of planetary and universal peace.
What we do to one strand affects the whole Web of Life, as American Chief Seattle said.
Or like the story told about the ET that responded to the late Army Lieutenant Colonel Philip J. Corso’s query, “what’s in it for me?”.
To Wit: the ET responded by saying, “a new world if you can take it.”
May All Beings Be Free From Suffering And Awaken To Planetary & Universal Peace. And So It Is And So It Will Be.
Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the curriculum includes shamans, quantum leaps, and the in-sound from way out. Ari Joshua Bouse has been writing, and the assignment is consciousness itself.
Mara: This episode follows one extended meditation on collective awakening — what it means to move beyond the noise, find stillness, and recognize our shared ground. Let’s start with that territory.
Fellow Luminous Souls Traveling Together In Collective Cosmic Consciousness
Pip: The post sets up a lineage — shamans, the Buddha, the Christ — and asks what it looks like when a critical mass of people today actually follows that thread toward something beyond the ordinary channel of reality.
Mara: The piece builds toward exactly that possibility, and here is the spine of it: “A critical mass of people are now seeing through the smoke and mirrors that front as an illusionary curtain behavioral trap that is sold, bought and processed as everyday reality.”
Pip: So the claim is that consensus reality isn’t a neutral backdrop — it’s a product. And the work of awakening is recognizing you’ve been handed a script.
Mara: Right, and the post traces several traditions that have named this. Indigenous Australians held their Dreamtime as more real than the Western version of reality. The Buddha faced suffering directly rather than routing around it. The through-line is that the exit from the nightmare requires turning toward it, not away.
Pip: There is something almost counterintuitive about that — the way out is through, which is not the advice most of us get from the algorithm.
Mara: The post names what blocks that passage pretty specifically: “attached doubts, fears, mental tapes, concepts, and compartmentalized cognitions” — what it calls the Chattering Monkey Mind or the Reptilian Brain. The upshot is that identification with that noise is the only thing that makes us miss the boat.
Pip: And the destination, once you hop off the lily pad, is described as “free flowing expanding spaciousness” where joy and light become normative rather than exceptional.
Mara: The post closes with Unity Consciousness as the frame — the recognition that we are part of Cosmic Oneness, connected to each other and everything. It ends with a genuine question: “What’s your Light Language?” It also comes with a recorded guided meditation, Ari reading the piece aloud, which gives the whole thing a different texture than a written essay alone.
Pip: The page asks you to sit with it, not just scroll past it.
Mara: The thread running through all of this is permission — permission to step off the default reel and into something quieter and wider.
Pip: Next time, we’ll see what else is traveling in from that direction.

“The early Buddhist texts view death not as a final end, but as a transitional gateway within a continuous cycle of existence (samsara). The Buddha taught that while grief is a natural response to the arrow of loss, true transformation occurs when we stop fighting impermanence and recognize our deeply interconnected nature.”
Moreover, a growing body of scientific research is further reinforcing the old spiritual truth vis a vis the quote above; as you will see in the video clip below:
Furthermore, notice that the Imbolc will be happening in the Souther Hemisphere in early August.
Remember that the Imbolc is the approximate halfway point between their Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Some folks celebrate the Imbolc on the first or second day of the month, while this year some focus on August 7 as the sacred date.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Llamas will be honoring the approximate mid-point between the Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox at this time.

Additionally, in much the same way as meditation,Pete Seeger’s pro-humanitarian civil rights protest music recognized that a good folk song can get the job done without the frills.
Together, we can co-create a more welcoming, accepting and fair and just society for everyone when we unplug from old scripts and co-author new narratives:
Andjust yesterday, I saw a bumper sticker that featured a picture of a Monarch Butterfly with the accompanying lyrics, “the only orange monarch I support.” Got a full bellied laugh out of that one!
Keep in mind that spirituality as a way of life embodies a playful, light-hearted, and healthy felt sense of detachment from the heaviness of the world.
We are all interconnected.
Besides, the heavily orchestrated shadowy program that parrots that we are separate from one another is merely a finely flat tuned illusionary chorus, if you’ll pardon the music pun.
May all Beings be free from suffering, and awaken to Unity Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, Universal Pillars of Love and Truth, Inner Peace and Diversity within Unity!
Although Aries season is coming to an end, it’s fiery energies are not to be missed on a New Moon in Aries on April 17.
This New Moon is a powerful time for reaching out to the Universe, asserting our needs, asking for guidance, and then allowing for manifestation to show up in the creation of our lives.
Energetically, Taurus season is a period of grounding and embodiment. Time to slow down into a more deliberate rhythm that is in alignment with Nature’s cycle.
Following the spiritually assertive fiery energies of Aries, the Bull lands and builds foundations.
From an energetic perspective, the root chakra governs our sense of safety, survival, and belonging to the Earth.
I remember when I first felt drawn to spiritual power of shamanism by creating meaningful and purposeful rituals around mundane experiences.
Creating rituals can awaken seeing the sacred in everyday moments that can breathe in new air into the dead air of stale old ways of doing things that have become robotic.
Just as an example, we can help reduce anxiety and increase our sense of stability when we recognize our inner abundance, and imagine roots growing into the ground from the soles of our feet.
Besides, this practice makes for a healthy walking meditation ritual.
When people choose to work with these energies consciously, we are invited to reconnect with the physical world as a sacred space.
And we also become equipped to develop our spiritual fulfillment through the felt sense experience of the five material senses typically associated with the 3D realm.
We are in alignment with the spiritual nature of Taurus when we turn ordinary routines such as; making tea, showering, working out or even grocery shopping into intentional rituals where we are present.
Instead of spiritual bypassing, may we give ourselves permission to be fully present in the physical body rather than escaping into abstract thinking.
Because our bodies are our sacred vessels to connect with the present moment.
Remember that a sense of Divinity awakens by stopping to smell of flowers, mindfully tasting a meal or feeling the grass underneath your feet.
Does your daily life align with your soul’s true values?
Keep in mind that when we are working with our shadow sides, it is wise for us to be mindful of the cravings to our creature comforts or familiar routines that ends up avoiding deeper inner work.
Perhaps instead, choosing rest or a walk out in Nature could be better options for you than attending a ritualistic social engagement that will probably leave you feeling exhausted at this time.
The Wesak Full Moon will happen on Friday, May 1st, which is in alignment with the Buddha’s birth, attainment of enlightenment and physical death.
Further, the spiritual and sacred ceremony around these energies reflects Divine Love, Divine Light and Divine Power flowing down to Gaia and all Sentient Beings.Friday, May 1, 2026.
Many of our ancestors considered the Wesak Full Moon as the most powerful full moon of the year. And to this day, many spiritual travelers honor our sacred connection to the consciousness of this full moon as Master Co elaborates on in the video below (with Master Choa Kok Sui’s picture in the background) :
As you can see, May can be seen as a high octane spiritual portal month, amplified by many powerful energetic shifts and new beginning frequencies beaming in. Wide open windows to cosmic vibrations are more perceptible at this time.
For example, 2026 marks the start of a new 9 year cycle.
The beginning of May is a good time for initiating new projects, setting new foundations, emphasizing independence, leadership, and authentic identity.
See revolutionary changes in communication, connection, and social networks as on their way.
Manifestation is in the air, and those of us on a spiritual path should especially be intentional with our words and thoughts because they will carry unusual weight this year.
Keep in mind that spiritual awakenings are part of these manifestations.
Are you experiencing sudden inspirations, intense dreams, or emotional highs and lows?
Will old patterns or relationships that no longer resonate gently fall away during this time to make room for a deeper frequency version of yourself?
May all beings be free from suffering, and awaken to Inner Peace, Diversity Within Unity, Unity Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness and God Consciousness.
In much the same way as the Shamans of the Americas, the Buddha recognized the reality of suffering, and became aware that the way out of the nightmare was to face it head on.
And then the Christ torched the Light of Compassion with the Power of Love; thus revealing that the Kingdom of Heaven is encoded in everything and everywhere.
Likewise, as many of our ancestors have done; a growing body of folks on the spiritual path today are awakening to the vision to go beyond the negative self talk mainstream movie reel that appears to get louder, more divisive, demonizing and repetitive as we speak.
May the we allow the light to illuminate the shadows . . .
A critical mass of people are now seeing through the smoke and mirrors that front as an illusionary curtain behavioral trap that is sold, bought and processed as everyday reality.
Because, this seemingly intangible deeply mysterious dimensional experience transcends the five senses and 3D realm.
In their Dreamtime, Indigenous people from Australia knew this experiential reality as more real than the normal Western version of reality back Zen as it is right Tao.
And yet, it is perceptible and spoken to us through stillness. It’s the in sound from way out.
The tricky part is that it takes trust to take a quantum leap of faith to hop off the lily pad onto a safe universal landing zone of Love and Truth.
Truly, we only miss the boat when we are in an identified place with our attached doubts, fears, mental tapes, concepts, and compartmentalized cognitions . . . aka the Chattering Monkey Mind or the Reptilian Brain.
From an elevated state of consciousness, we are equipped to release and let go of our wounds, control issues, hang ups, etc. and surrender to the Divine Will of the Universe.
In this free flowing expanding spaciousness, we will surf the rising tides of Joy and Light, as normative mindful states of sustainable consciousness.
Unity Consciousness embodies the recognition and intuitive understanding that we are all part of Cosmic Oneness.
From this space, we just know our interconnection with each other and everything for that matter, if you’ll pardon the spiritual-scientific pun.
May we remember to carry this pocketful of magic with us along our way, and continue to cultivate an experiential learning curve with a playful, light-hearted and healthy sense of detachment.
What’s your Light Language?
May all Beings be free and experience Inner Peace,

natural human tendency to move away from what we
don’t want versus moving toward what we want more of
Just empathize for a moment that the gaining popularity of
the GLBTQ modern label is nothing new from the perspective of our
collective consciousness, sentient being history!
It’s just outside the box from a cookie cutter, Americancentric perspective
Consider meeting both opposite sides of the same coin with
an aware/soft mind, let it be, and let it go . . .
Cultivating sound mental health is a process of letting go of our
preferred/non-preferred experiences, yet responding to awareness instead of
reacting to our reality-based judgements
If only we meet our challenges with an aware opportunity of a soft mind,
a puncture-proof spirit of letting go, and be open to whatever
it is we are experiencing with love, and compassionate kindness . . .

to remember always, but especially during energetic seasonal transitions
Otter, like Dolphins know how to be playful,

will die just like we will someday . . .
May we all do the best that we can
Otters reflect relaxation as a balanced approach to work and play
Are you able to whistle while you work?
We suffer because we tend to forget living in harmony with the
changing seasons of life, which often results in fights . . .
But Otter reminds us it’s about how we flow with the fluid sensational waters of life
The gravitational pull of our world is heavy and serious enough . . .
But don’t let that take away your right to experience enjoyment
Goliath is a metaphor in our old testament consciousness that is
even more proliferated and pronounced in our world today
Just look at the NRA as part of the big business strangulation
of our sovereignty by the miserly ways of the Powers that Be
Mental illness is about doing the same thing over and over,
and expecting different results
But genuflection to the better devil you know mind-set is comforting,
even if toxic and against your own self-interest . . .
At the end of the day, nobody really benefits from a maximum economic
profit off of sickness, and death,
albeit under the guise of protection and security . . .
Is American ready to become an embodiment of showing a moral responsibility
to provide equal pay/livable wages, universal health care, and
a built-in emphasises on vacation/leisure/free choice time
to create your own self-determined experiences?
Or is that perspective only reserved for those that work hard within the
entitled, privileged inner circles of the minority of the opulent?
Can you hear the whistle of Cardinal’s spirit blowing in the wind?
Are you feeling eclipsed by their virtuous and powerful archetypal footprint?
Mercury in Retrograde resurrects perpetually dead, albeit real call backs . . .
Our minds move away from rational, logical and linear recordings
Try not to get identified with any fixed ideas or repetitively negative mental tapes
Just examine them with an open, passive attitude and gently let them pass
A Full Moon coming soon yields a hearty seasonal Harvest . . .
What tremors will be seen, heard and felt across the fruited plains?
Feeling safe, comfortable and regulated will be challenged
But there is an opportunity for letting go and relaxing into seismic changes

Autumn Equinox this September
Back to school, back to business and getting organized is in the air!
But don’t let that drive you nuts . . .
A revival of old religious traditions co-mingles paradoxically with
listening to the messages of your True self and Inner Voice that
remind vitality is always here for you to allow in any given moment!
Climate Change, dark sorcery and violence plague our streets . . .
Breathing in chaotic storm fronts are painful to watch and hard on the lungs . . .
But where are you on the map of seeing a
Silver Lining Playbook and making only positive interpretations?
The black truth is that it can be hard to find Nirvana
within the chaotically deafening traffic jam of life!
Might as well strum the heartstrings of Oneness and
tune in to the key of Inner Peace!
The Winter Solstice arrives this week in the Northern Hemisphere
A Full Cold Moon on Christmas signifies a
birth of the coldest, darkest and longest nights of the year . . .
After that we will begin to coax back the light of masculine-yang
Paradoxically, our friends in the Southern Hemisphere experience peak light –
Where masculine-yang reaches its zenith on the Summer solstice . . .
And then a downhill run toward rising dark nights of feminine-yin
Like it or not, pain and suffering are part of life
But most of us want to be happy
So here we sit in a chair with paradoxical tension of opposites
Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice
Pain is a wound that hurts
Let yourself feel sad in your heart for this . . .

frequently revisit us during a death cycle in Nature
