Credit for that title goes in part to Yogi Berra. I repurpose it with care. I also note here that perspectives I share are born of the recognition that humanity is moving through a transformative process dissolving life as we have known it while simultaneously weaving the fabric of a new reality. Between deforming and reforming is chaos, a juncture we are rapidly approaching.
Dire predictions regarding our collective future swarm the zeitgeist, each based in fear of terrible things that are sure to happen if we don’t “wake up” and do something about something. We are constantly assailed by those who use fear to manipulate perception, fulfill agendas and maintain power, but on the flip side are those in angst-driven reaction propagating their own equally fearful warnings and projected what-ifs.
I do understand that entities exist who appropriate and hoard resources, covet power and control over all else and have a deep disdain for humanity. They remain mostly unseen while presiding over yes-people willing to trade integrity for influence and position. They infest everything with their foul character, claim shadows as light, and fabricate false realities constantly force-fed into our psyches. When people say they feel like they’re living in the upside-down this is why.
We have been under the influence of these characters for generations, unable to free ourselves from their counterfeit realities. We were turned. Under duress we surrendered our authority to those in the outer world deigned superior. Aristocracy, priests, politicians, and “professionals” of all stripes have determined how thought was to be focused. Antithetical views were considered blasphemous, a word rebranded more recently as misinformation or conspiracy theory.
A suitable misquotation never actually said by Einstein is “you cannot solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it”, the implication being that resolution requires a fresh perspective. What I see happening now is a restructuring of the framework of consciousness in which we live, experience and create. This process by definition infers dissolution of what previously existed while effecting its replacement and is experienced both personally and collectively.
Our current stage is one where a significant number of people have seen through the machinations of schemers. That awareness in the collective field hastens the dissolution of the old structure, which makes it possible for more people to realize how conditioned we all have been, which then further accelerates the process, and so on to completion. All that existed to serve a few at the cost of many is falling away. What is of Life, of Essence, remains and expands. The world as we have perceived it to be is coming to an end, though not without tremendous drama. The old order is not going quietly, but its destiny has been foretold.
All change is inevitable and unstoppable. This change is cosmic in nature and experienced on a planetary scale. Two options exist for those who have made Earth their home. One is to remain with her as she births a new reality, moving through this large-scale transformative process together. The other is continuing an evolutionary trajectory in a familiar dualistic pathway, but elsewhere.

A few observations:
Transformation is a metamorphosis, not a linear, predictable experience. One form ceases to exist and another comes into being.
Our reality, our perception of how life works, has been imposed through fictitious narratives and coercive or punitive methods of control. Connection with our greater Self was effectively suppressed under such constraint and the source of direction for life was diverted to external “authorities”.
The form undergoing dissolution is a combined structure of consciousness known as duality along with an imposed overlay of control that became the template for patriarchy. As that disintegration continues there is an awakening, first becoming aware of the schemers and their schemes. Ultimately the awakening is to Self, the individuated aspect of Source that we are and Author of all we experience.
The form rising into existence is an evolutionary, all present, living, ever-changing responsive field of all potential. All of humanity is welcome to play in the New Living Field of creation, though some may not be ready and will continue to evolve elsewhere.
Nobody can predict forms that are yet to come into being, though we have some hints about the nature of this new field. This field is a multi-dimensional fusion of Light and Life, Spirit and Matter, Masculine and Feminine, Heaven and Earth. It is a living field and its foundation is Love. This field does not split consciousness as does duality. It is unifying, not polarizing. It is whole, not splintered.
This field exists at higher vibrations. Lower vibration conditions are non-existent, such as greed, patriarchy, hierarchy, racism, discrimination, and violence, which cannot effectively be eliminated in a reality configured to perpetuate them.
In this living field exchanges of energy are cooperative and mutual, not controlling or co-dependent. All parties benefit individually while the whole becomes further enhanced.
This field, sometimes called The 5th Dimension or New Earth, is present now. It is momentarily co-existing with the duality matrix and false reality overlay until those old structures fully dissolve. Shifting out of duality and into the new field is possible at any time by choice.
Evolutionary pressure is accelerating the rate of change.

I sat down weeks ago to begin writing this piece. I had a sense of wanting to do something about something after noting an abundance of post-election angst jamming the social media landscape. Escalation of fear, agitation and consternation has continued as constant media spin and provocative memes assault our sensibilities. Duality is not going quietly and its agents won’t be offering any perspectives that might helpfully frame our experiences of change.
My intention is to keep forefront the Big Story affecting us all. That is the context in which I now place my views on one of the most factious topics of our times: the recent election of Donald Trump. Prior to the election I was asked privately for my read on the outcome. I said that the energy as I perceived it was supporting Trump. Neither politics nor personality were germane. I did not vote for him. Neither did I vote for his opponent.
In our story Trump has a role. Some think he’s a savior while others consider him the anti-Christ. He is neither, but he does assist the demolition of the old order. It’s not that he has some kind of informed vision, he’s just being who he is. He sparks chaos. He also functions as a catalyst for change along with those who surround him.
I am aware of concerns regarding the actions of the Trump administration. Some fear that a coup is taking place, that democracy has been lost, that a fascist dictatorship is rising, or that we are being ruled by billionaires for the benefit of billionaires. Others claim hidden agendas are in play setting us up for even greater levels of subjugation and repression.
What I see is that the real coup happened 5,000+ years ago when a group of beings established the control structures that were inserted into consciousness. Subsequently we have never known authentic sovereignty. Not all shackles are irons and chains.
Democracy? I’m not sure we have ever experienced it, at least not in the form envisioned by the founding fathers where all voices are heard. Majority rule isn’t it. Deciding on leadership from a menu of two pre-selected options isn’t it either. The myth of democracy as we’ve been schooled has been evangelized for decades, though real choice at the federal level likely died with the murder of JFK.
And, is there a time in recorded history without a government influenced by special interests flush with money and a desire to extract more by all means possible? The only things that differ over time are the methods of extraction, the amount extracted and the excuses for doing so.

That diversion into DT was relevant. My feeling is that we reached a turning point in January. The old story is now on a fast track of disintegration, not because of a single individual but because it is necessary. Cosmic timing, one might say.
Duality can no longer split awareness into conscious and unconscious, seen and unseen. What has been hidden or repressed will continue to be revealed by all means available to consciousness and will assist more people to comprehend how all-encompassing has been the reach of those in control and how deep has been the corruption.
Dire futures based on dire pasts are projections made by those still immersed in the old story, but the new story is not a continuation of what has been. Nobody, regardless of intent, can establish control mechanisms over humanity in the New Field. The intent will not even be present nor can the mind again establish its sense of superiority over all of Life.
It is contradictory wanting things to be different while simultaneously resisting change. We are undergoing a fundamental shift of realities, and to paraphrase the Borg…resistance is futile, and a little insane. At the moment two choices still exist: remain immersed in the familiar and be battered about as duality rails against its own end, or opt into the New Living Field where the next moment is unknown, change is constant and heart’s desires are fulfilled.
What’s yet to come we all will see, but the future ain’t what it used to be.
Yogi Berra also said “when you come to a fork in the road, take it”.
Ruminate on that.

In the old story, the demagogues who galvanize the populace against a government by corrupt elites would go on to become dictators, and the cycles of history would continue. I don't expect that to happen this time, but I also don't see the collective shift just yet. The ones who are leading the charge right now are not the ones who will ultimately lead with love, or empower all of us to lead ourselves. And yet I do find myself trusting the process...
Hi Chris, I completely agree with your analysis. I was once a liberal Democrat, protesting war, gun violence, etc. I still believe Bush was the worse president in my lifetime. My perspective changed during Covid. Mandates, school closure, businesses going under, the list is endless but the end of my personal history for democracy evaporated with forced injection. When you lose body sovereignty, you lose who you are. You become a non entity and you are shamed and demonized for your personal choice.
The perfect world we all seek ended with the assignations of JFK, RFK, Gandhi, King. And then 911. The peace makers have all been taken out. And with Reagan’s election, the uni-party was established.
Do we stay stuck or try to move forward? Trump is just being who he is, yes, but I believe change cannot be “shock and awe.” Trump has established that it is okay to be rude and lack civility. He is a poor representative of getting along with others in the sandbox. It’s no way to run a country or anything, really.
Keep writing your relevant essays and let’s all take a fork in the road. Or the once less traveled.
