Empowerment

On The Threshold

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“Every moment is an opportunity to be an expression of truth.”

All Things Considered

There is an intensity to the subject matter and style of the articles I publish.  For many, it may be read as critical and pessimistic.  To others, there is an undeniable resonance with the energy between the lines.  I do not take offense when I hear from family, friends and others if the articles land for them as societal cynicism.  I have chosen to walk the path of my personal truth.  However, being an intuitive person, I sense the responses in comments, likes, shares, etc., or lack thereof.  My intentions have never been for profit, and I am not delusional enough to be seduced by popularity.  When people experience insights with these articles, even those interpreted as negative, I am fulfilled in my expression.

Delusion, Illusion and Oblivion

We each exist within our personal security bubble.  It is almost impossible to differentiate ourselves from our defenses, given our institutional assimilation via our social conditioning and programming.  It is our enslavement; imposed by our ambiguity, denial, egocentricity, fear, insecurity and self-righteousness.  We are all creators of our experience.  In every moment, we have the opportunity for universality.  Yet, we dismiss our universal birthright to conform to society.  We design our personal delusion to interact with the illusion of reality.  Our engagement in this dynamic establishes our oblivion.  We satiate ourselves with instinct and intellect, discrediting and refuting everything in opposition of our personal and social bias, narrative and reality.

Duped From the Truth

Personal truth is a social inconvenience.  It flies in the face of everything we are conditioned to believe through the enforced programming of education, entertainment, media, politics, religion and science.  From the moment we are born, we are conned into a lifestyle of enslavement.  We adopt and endorse our external dependence, because we fail to empower ourselves with our soul and the universe.  Perhaps the most difficult realization we all face is acknowledging and accepting that we were all duped.  Our egos enact an elaborate ruse to spare us from the dreaded culpability, humiliation and suffering we may encounter when we clarify and embody the truth.  Howsoever we endeavor to evade our awakening, it is inevitable.  

An Awakening

When I was an adolescent, I was confronted with the harsh reality of becoming an adult in society.  There was always a gravity of density, conformity and restriction I encountered at every turn.  It is extremely emasculating to transition from an eternal expression of being to a finite emulation of humanity.  The disturbing truth for me was understanding I would have to sacrifice too much of my soul for the gratification of egocentric “success” in social reality.  We may react defensively to this statement in justification of our own personal dependence on egoism, pride, prominence and worth.  When we choose to free ourselves from our oblivion, the resonance of our personal truth is all that remains.

“We are not an emulation of existence; we are an expression of experience.“

Recollection of Revelation

As a teenage poet and musical artist, I experienced a unique fluency with creativity and imagination.  This empowered me to observe, clarify, understand and embody emotionality, intuition, relativity and universality.  What started as an act of adolescent rebellion gradually progressed into a declaration of being.  As I aged, it became a daily practice of soul preservation against the imposing elements of social reality.  I am fascinated by the energetic, experiential and transformative empowerment of universality.  The further I synthesize with my unique progression, the greater experience I encounter as a universal expression.  Social revolution does not exist without personal revelation.

The Rub of Relativity

We all have personal experiences in our social engagements.  It is almost impossible to find the equilibrium of our being amidst the constant stream of chaos, conflict, density, illusion, intensity, manipulation and programming. These elements modify us from the outside in.  We exist in a reality of artificiality, yet we are oblivious to the intricate nuances of its impacts and influence.  Our desire for superficial acceptance and belonging with our peripheral relations lures us away from our soul and the universe.  There is a limitation to the fulfillment we may share with others because we are segregated from ourselves.  No matter how much we invest our energy into our external encounters, the deficiency of our internal experience is the rub of our relativity.

I Am Who Iam

It is illuminating to experience ourselves through the eyes of others.  When we can observe ourselves outside of our permanence, it gives us a unique insight into how we occur.  It is an existential experience of transcendence, even from our selves.  I recall the first time I witnessed another’s fixed perception of me.  It was a transformational revelation in which I clarified who I was not.  A family member was speaking to me through an interpretive filter of who I was years before.  I realized they were unable to see me for who I had become, only with whom they felt most comfortable.  I shifted from reacting with aggravation to accepting their perception of me, even though it conflicted with who I truly am.

Life on a Limb

We fail at thriving when overwhelmed with the gravity of surviving.  We do not experience life.  We merely exist within the engineered parameters of a holographic simulation we collectively accept and adopt as society.  This concept is nearly impossible for the assimilated mind to comprehend.  Our cognitive dissonance casts stones of “conspiracy theory” in our malevolent quest to discredit, debunk and destroy all things beyond the proverbial box of social reality.  Our institutional programming revises our history and annihilates our mystery; accelerating the conflict, disease, fear and insecurity that enacts our enslavement.  We live life upon a fragile limb, clinging to social dependence in a desperate plea to proliferate our egocentricity.

Transcendent Sponsorship

Over twenty years ago, I met a woman who helped shift my programmed perception from knowledge to understanding.  I have learned that knowing is an intellectual encounter, whereas understanding is a multidimensional experience.  For decades, she has expressed her unbridled passion for conscious transcendence with anyone who lent her their listening.  Mine happened to be open at the time of our first encounter.  Elva Thompson is an author of articles and books, yet these pale in comparison to the awareness and inspiration that transpires in the eternal moments of her conversations.  It is ordinary to engage in relativity with others.  Yet, extraordinary to be empowered by the resonance of the energy beyond the words.

On the Threshold

We all stand upon the threshold of our unique experience with the universal energetic shift.  One humanity has yet to encounter.  For many, it may be interpreted as an apocalypse of our existence.  For some, it is the manifestation of our transcendence.  Howsoever we may choose (or not) to experience this extraordinary new era, our lives are best expressed in who we choose to be.  It is either the convenience of artificiality (fear) or the empowerment of universality (love).  Whether or not we consider ourselves conscious beings, our personal delusion with the illusion of social reality is the oblivion enabling our virtuality.  The truth we embody is the expression of our universality.                    

“Our personal truth is the resonance of our soul.”

Streaming Universality

/ Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Being is streaming the universe.”

The Source

Everything is energy.  All that is made manifest into this reality first exists as an energetic expression.  Before we are born into this world, we are an energetic waveform relating with the universe as a soul.  An eternal and infinite energy with no beginning or end.  This is our universality.  It empowers the frequency and vitality of our being.  During its transition into physical existence, our soul inherits celestial energy for our intended, human experience.  The universe is in a constant state of transformation.  Its energetic movements on our day of birth source the unique roots of our being.  Who we are being and how we are living in social reality defines our humanity.

Soul Schism

Birth is an extraordinary, yet traumatic experience.  Our devolution from energy into matter is a nine-month period in the paradigm of linear time.  Much of our personal being, creativity, consciousness, expression, experience and understanding is lost in translation.  As children, we naturally express universal energy.  However, our omni dimensionality is diminished during our maturation.  Our social programming controls and influences our development and perception with a multitude of institutional indoctrination.  Eventually, we yield our universality, initiating a schism with our soul, while condemning ourselves to ordinary existence.      

Growing Up

From infancy to maturity, we are in a constant flow of physical, mental and emotional transformation, even beneath the gravity of institutionalization.  We inherit the behavioral, genetic, ideological, intellectual and instinctual tendencies of our bloodline predecessors.  Our experience is a blank canvas upon which we may create ourselves in a way that either empowers or enslaves us.  Social conformity is inevitable, whether it is the influence of our amusement, education, philosophy, politics, relatives or religion.  Maturity conditions us to devolve from creation to emulation, shifting our experience from awareness to obedience.

Paradise Lost

As we “mature” within the institutional indoctrination of society, we lose relativity with our personal power long before we may become its expression.  Dependency upon our external environment severs our relatedness with universality.  Within the toxicity of social reality, our bodies decay, our minds encode and our hearts contract, resulting in the distortion, decline and destruction of our intuition.  All the energy the universe emanates from its relativity with our soul ceases to empower us.  The flow of our personal power is dammed by our ego, as the paradise of our universality is lost.

“Universality is the expression of empowerment.”

The Art of Deprogramming

All of us are programmed.  It is simply the individual extent of our conditioning.  Our institutionalization, be it educational, hereditary, political, religious or otherwise, animates our identity and projects it into the simulation of our social environment.  Our programming is imposed and implanted into our minds, then relayed to our senses.  Once we observe the influence of our programming, we can remove it like a virus.  Deprogramming may take as long as our indoctrination.  However, when we differentiate the external influences from our inner being, transforming our conditioning into consciousness is exponential.

The Breath of Being

Energetic and environmental contamination has diminished the quality of the air we breathe.  There is more carbon dioxide in the oxygen we inhale, as there is in our exhale.  This is the root cause of the toxicity in our bodies, thoughts and feelings.  As we weather the daily storms of social reality, it distorts and diminishes our relativity with our intuition and soul.  Our choice is to either draw the instinctual gasp of oblivion, or the conscious breath of the universe.  The first extracts life from us, while the latter expands our experience.  Conscious breath empowers our energetic flow with universality.

The Stream of Silence

Silence is the language of the universe.  Exercising this presence of being is a powerful way to free ourselves from the cacophony of social reality.  When we practice silence, we calm the body, quiet the mind, empower the heart, align with intuition and synergize our soul with the universe.  Being silent inspires us to experience the omni dimensionality of all that exists beyond our senses, thoughts and feelings.  In many social environments, speaking is how we distract ourselves from the fulfillment of being present.  Silence is a transcendental experience which empowers our relativity with our soul.

The Expression of Creativity

Once we begin to deprogram, consciously breathe and observe silence, we have a foundation of being upon which to create.  In my experience, every human being has the potential to express creativity, no matter what medium(s) best express our energetic resonance.  Our universality streams creation through our intuition, empowers our heart, enlightens our mind and inspires our body to express our unique vision.  Creativity is the embodiment of the universe within the paradigm of social reality.  The essential element of its expression is transforming our being, experience and environment.

The Rhythm of Resonance

When we are aligned with universality to create our experience, the equilibrium of our being resonates with the energetic frequency of our soul.  This is our flow with the universe.  We feel, sense and experience this synergy as it empowers us with its eternal expression.  It is omnipresent in our daily lives, even though we are most often oblivious to its energy.  Our purpose is to be a universal expression in our daily experience.  When we are influenced by the artificial currents of social reality, we are disempowered into enslavement.  When we are in flow with our soul, we are empowered with universality.  

Streaming Universality

Our innate nature is to be related.  However, relatedness cannot be found in social reality.  First, it must be discovered, experienced and empowered within.  Our relativity with universality is the source of fulfilling all our relations.  The frequency of its energetic flow is present in our every experience.  When we balance the equilibrium between our body, mind and heart to align with our intuition and soul, we are empowered by the universe to experience authentic relativity.  This synthesis synergizes our being with universality.  It is this omni-dimensional energy which empowers our flow and expression with the infinite stream of the universe. 

  “Our destiny in the New Era is being universality.”

The Event Horizon

/ Iam Saums / 4 Comments

“Our soul expresses the energetic flow of empowerment.”

The Point of No Return

Whether or not we are conscious in this exciting new era, we have crossed the threshold of a universal, energetic shift humanity has yet to experience.  Through an excess of engineered, social events, we are being discouraged, diminished and manipulated.  Our natural progression of communal and personal evolution is being dismantled and destroyed.  Many may interpret my observation as conspiracy theory, initiated by their individual encounters with cognitive dissonance, and the narratives to which they subscribe.  Millions of people allow themselves to be deceived, disempowered and influenced away from the unique flow of their universal experience. 

Existential Inversion

The onus is not on those who have gravitated toward the oblivious bliss of ignorance, crafted from their circumstances, environments, misfortune and victimization.  It is upon all who have willingly conditioned and programmed themselves with a multitude of institutionalized education, mainstream media, politics, religion and science to defend their fear in the face of their truth.  We live in an age when disinformation is aggressively broadcast, while truth is violently discredited, ridiculed, suppressed and abandoned.  Identifying as “woke” in relation to being “awakened” is the distinction between those armed with ego and all expressing their soul. 

Social Pulse

Social existence is the greatest distraction to human experience.  In society, we do not have genuine belonging, only superficial relativity.  This is defined by whether we are proactive (positive) or reactive (negative.)  We are brainwashed to emulate effect with our engagement, rarely empowering ourselves to create cause.  We make it easy for authoritarian entities and organizations to proliferate instinctual fear, intellectual division, emotional trauma and spiritual deficiency.  We delude ourselves into believing educators, entertainers, the media, politicians and religious leaders have interest in our wellbeing.  They care only as much as they profit. 

The Cult of Society

Every organization in society is a cult, seizing our personal power, as they enslave us in social reality.  Cult, by definition: a relatively small group of people having beliefs or practices, especially relating to religion, regarded by others as strange or sinister or as imposing excessive control over members.  Sound familiar? If we are “real” about it, we will observe our inherent worship of the business, entertainment, financial, governmental, political, religious and sporting domains.  Inevitably, we invest.  We are motivated by the fear of failing to conform.  We buy in with our life, conditioning our mind, suppressing our heart and sacrificing our relativity with our soul. 

“Universality is our destined path empowered by our soul.”

An Investment in Enslavement

Our social conditioning programs us into a constant state of expectancy.  It is not just that social reality is a simulation, imposed to sculpt us into victims.  We are spectators of its virtuality and consumers of our own enslavement. (Be with this.)  The daily encounters of artificial existence overwhelm us with sensory hyperstimulation.  We acquiesce the energy with which the universe empowers us, enabling our enslavement with our institutionalized programming and obedient engagement.  Our dependence assimilates us into virtual existence, transmuting our universal being into an energetic vortex.  We extract our soul by distorting our intuition, repressing our heart, programming our mind, toxifying our body and embracing the prison of social reality.

Destined Calling

Before social conditioning and programming imposes its artificial impression, each of us has a universal purpose.  All of us become present to our calling, most often during adolescence.  Society misinterprets this revolutionary experience as “rebellion,” negating and oppressing our personal power before we can become its expression.  All who choose to pursue their destined path are labeled fanatics, ever confronted by the simulated orthodoxy of an engineered society.  Yet, the universe provides an abundance of energy in the form of empowerment, clarifying our vision, inspiring our creation and encouraging our expression.

Transcendental Shift

For the last decade, we have been and are in the flow of an extraordinary, universal energetic shift.  Many of us may not observe let alone experience it because it does not exist in the virtuality of common society.  We all have the potential to create our personal, transcendental shift.  Our soul enlivens us to transform our enslavement from social reality by freeing ourselves from its linear duality and becoming an expression of universality.  The universe is an energetic field of infinite opportunity and possibility.  It is our soul’s relativity with our intuition and heart which empowers us to express it into our experience.

Universal Momentum

We are all in the universal flow of the shift, regardless of our awareness.  The energy of universality is a multidimensional force of being, consciousness, creativity, empowerment, expression, fulfillment, illumination, inspiration and transformation.  Our universal opportunity is to embrace and synergize with the eternal currents of its energetic flow.  The body and mind are merely filters of our daily encounters.  Our heart and intuition are the gateways to our universal experience.  We are not humans defined by the effects of our environment.  We are souls omni dimensionally expressing our universal cause within a virtual matrix of social existence.   

The Event Horizon

An event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer.  The point at which the gravitational force becomes so great, escape is impossible.  Believe it or not, this is where we are, our point of no return.  We stand upon the threshold of transcending the simulation of social reality to embody our universal experience with being.  We can either remain in our ego, the illusion of ourselves.  Or we can transcend the veil and be an expression of our soul.  Becoming one with and expressing the universe’s empowerment is our greatest opportunity for all lifetimes.  Flowing with the energetic shift is the event horizon of our universality.

“The difference between kneeling and standing is empowerment.”

Upon Reflection

As I was writing the final paragraph of my previous article, “Written in the Stars,” I realized it may be my last.  In the years I have been publishing articles, I have rarely experienced a block, rut or a lack of inspiration.  Fortunately for me, there has always been a creative energy flow guiding my fingers.  Yet, I became present to the common, elementary level of comprehension contemporary society exhibits.  Being conscious to this dynamic was incredibly disempowering.  For fleeting moments, it challenged my passion to translate universal understanding into earthly experience.  This article is an expression of the universal empowerment sourced from breaking through the personal barriers of static perception. 

The Forest for the Trees

Recently, I had a conversation with my friend Lorenzo Malowane of “The New Agora/The New Now.”  As we both shared our experiences with publishing alternative information, I observed society is mired in a pyramid-scheme paradigm.  Another friend sent me a link to a new website that had all the “usual suspects” of metaphysics and spirituality.  Chances are you have seen them. Perhaps you have even taken their online courses, read their books, “follow” them on social media, watch their YouTube videos and attempt to practice their individual interpretations of an idyllic, spiritual lifestyle.  Enlightenment that one does not discover, explore and establish for oneself is simply a cult.

Social Paradox

For as much as we do not want to be told what to do, we eventually abandon our personal power.  Whether it is the impressions passed from our parent/relative, preacher, teacher, politician, employer, spouse, friends or associates, the hypocritical paradox of artificial, social belonging consumes our creativity.  Authoritarian entities and organizations are successful at coercing us into acquiescence, simply because they have enacted this paradigm of control, of which we enable with our participation.  They give us the illusion of free will.  Yet, we are aimlessly and helplessly reliant upon the dualistic design of social reality.  We are willing to be manipulated due to our apathy, fear, lifestyle preoccupation and absence of self-trust.

The New Paradigm

In our conversation, Lorenzo asked if I had any ideas about how to shift the common paradigm of social comprehension.  In that moment, something inspired me.  A recollection came from our last New Agora/Autodidactic interview “Communicate Your Freedom,” regarding listening being the essence of communication.  Being heard, valued, and through this experience, ultimately empowered.  In my perspective, it is not about telling people what to do. We all know how effective that practice has been throughout the course of human history!  It is about empowering others to create and manifest their own unique expression of destiny.

“We all need to express our universality into being.”

The New Era

Ten years ago, during the Winter Solstice, a universal energetic shift began.  It was the completion of a twenty-six-thousand-year cycle, and the beginning of a new era.  Since then, we have all been shifting into universal experience, whether we are present to it or not!  When the “Plandemic” occurred, (yes it was planned!) it was a multifaceted, energetic distortion and diversion to prevent the ascension and progression of our personal consciousness, which would empower us to transcend the duality of social reality and become an expression of universality.  (Read this sentence again!) The fulfillment of how the new era exists in our experience is empowered by who we choose to be.

Face the Music

We are provided infinite opportunities to face our dramas, fears, inadequacies and traumas; navigate through them, glean the benefits of the experiences, and release the rest. (Which is what we need to be doing right now!) Yet, it is much more than just acknowledging, accepting and knowing their purpose.  It is all about understanding. Once we move through them with a conscious heart and a keen intuition, our challenges only persist if we remain attached to them through our instinctual, intellectual and emotional dependencies.  Sure, we can hold on to our hurt, be right and in pain and covet our suppressed agony like our forsaken innocence.  However, as present as we are to our experience is as empowered as we are to heal.        

The Power of Empowerment

When we align our body, mind and heart with our intuition and soul, we are empowered by the universe.  Being centered, grounded and present to the source is an omnidimensional, energetic experience.  This is the true power of empowerment.  In every moment, we have the opportunity to relate with our universality.  Beyond the trivial happenstance of ordinary existence, an abundance of extraordinary experiences is ever evolving within the expression of our creativity.  (Be with this!) Shifting our focus of awareness from the constant imposition of social reality empowers us to embrace the universal with every conscious breath.  Choosing to be an expression of our soul transforms our experience.

Beyond the Threshold

All of us are on the threshold of our personal empowerment.  We have been shifting into the flow of universality for over a decade.  Our social perception cannot comprehend the transcendent insights of our universal being.  Understanding is the gateway to experience.  It is impossible to describe universality with words. This is a unique encounter for each person.  However, the commonality we all share is our relativity with our soul.  We all now stand upon our personal threshold, peering into the great mystery with curiosity, hope and wonder.  Beyond our fear of the unknown awaits the realization of our universal being.  Embrace and become the shift of its empowerment!

“Beyond the threshold of our humanity, we are all one with the universe.”

The Experience of Empowerment

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“Reality is enabled by the acquiescence of our personal power.”

False Personality

There is a commonality in all our personal rackets.  Those which we expend all our effort and energy to defend with our false personalities.  What is a “false personality?”  It is likely the one reading this article.  Our false personality is the virtual projection of ourselves we present to the world.  One cleverly sculpted by our social indoctrination through our education, heredity, politics, religion and social engagement.  We all have one.  However, it is unnecessary to conceal our fears, insecurities and triviality in justification of our personal apathy, indifference and oblivion.  Unless we concede to the influence and imposition of social reality.

Human Nature

All of us believe, hear, know and see only what we want.  We don’t even seek to understand ourselves or the society in which we are imprisoned, let alone all sides of our experiences.  Our priorities are to accumulate, amuse, breed, consume, debate, intellectualize, proselytize and sleep.  This dualistic dance sends billions of empty souls to the grave long before their time.  Living in personal oblivion is the greatest vicious cycle ever enacted in the history of humanity.  Occasionally, we stir from our selective slumber to rebel against things we do not fully understand.  Yet, we rarely exhibit the devotion, focus or intention to transform them.  

The Listening We Feign

Contemporary society does not encourage authentic listening.  Most people do not genuinely hear others because they fail to heed themselves.  Therefore, they echo the commotion of social reality, carelessly engaging with instinctual and intellectual declarations of ignorance and insolence.  Perceptual filters blind and consume our awareness, condensing it into a competitive existence of psychological controversy.  We are wired into a vicious cycle of reactivity, motivated by our feigned responses of duplicity.  We do not listen because it does not sponsor the agendas and strategies our egos employ.  This is the bane of our humanity.    

The Listening We Are

Authentic listening begins with empathy, observation and silence, both within and without.  It is an internal expression of being, aligning us with the universe, empowered by our soul and inspired by our intuition.  We cannot understand listening until we hear the voice of our being beyond our unconscious emotionality, intellect and instincts.  When we give the gift of listening to ourselves and others, we are a beacon of empowerment.  Personally, this is the societal shift I anticipated over the last few years.  However, we were so obsessed with returning to the way things were, we enabled virtual social reality once again.

“Misplaced power is the plight of humanity.”

All That Was Lost

Over ten years ago, energetic shifts in the universe began to accelerate.  Those who were present to this were hopeful and inspired with the possibility of a collective progression in awareness, expression, transformation and understanding available to all.  I could feel it in many experiences on multiple dimensions.  No matter how authoritarian entities and organizations invented elaborate forms of amusement, distraction, fantasy, fear and trauma, the currents of energetic momentum in the universe were strong.  Many were becoming conscious and empowered by these shifts.  Then, the virus pandemic hijacked our curiosity, focus and intentionality for universal potentiality.

All That We Sacrifice

All of us are an infinite expression of the universe, whether we are present to or personify our multidimensionality.  It is evident society does not encourage transcendent expressions of conscious being.  Therefore, we are enslaved into the paradigm of social reality, condemned to instinct, thought and opinion.  It is much easier to pull the wool over the eyes of humanity within a controlled environment.  We have acquiesced our personal power to perceptual deception, conceding our vision, focus, intention, purpose, transformation and destiny.  We sacrificed our universal being, consciousness, expression and relativity for the amusement of artificiality. 

All That Is Found

Though it appears we wagered our universality for social simulations of belonging, convenience, conformity, fulfillment, reality and security, all is not lost! Our multidimensionality exists beyond the duality of our mind and body.  At any moment, we can choose to shift our experience with our personal empowerment.  Our heart center is the gateway to intuitive insight, inspiring us to listen and align with our soul and the universe.  Enlightenment occurs when we transcend our conditioned lifestyles of attachment, egoism, expectation and materialism.  We are universal energy, ever evolving and transforming into our unique expression of being. 

All That Is Possible

Our soul is one with the universe.  This has, is and will always be our common truth.  Where we place our focus of attention is where we intend our energy.  Often this is coerced and seized from us within the vicious cycles of social reality.  Yet, when we align with awareness and empower our experience, we reclaim our being from the endless diversions to which we yield our personal power.  It is essential we observe, differentiate, empower and transform to relate with and embody our universality.  Our greatest opportunity is to manifest our creativity as our way of life.  This is the natural progression of being.    

The Natural Progression

All of us have a unique energy, expression, purpose and destiny.  Our creativity is an embodiment of our being.  When we resonate with our soul, we flow with the natural currents of the universe.  Surviving social reality is a two-dimensional experience within a three-dimensional paradigm. It is the design of our enslavement.  Thriving is a manifestation of omnidimensional being and understanding. It empowers our freedom.  The natural progression of our universal expression requires an equilibrium of our conscious instinct, intellect, emotionality and intuition.    

Experience of Empowerment

We are programmed into maturity through our dependance on and engagement in social reality.  Constant conditioning, conformity and survival eventually prevents the manifestation of our personal destiny.  We inevitably abandon the legacy of our universality amidst the extreme societal climates of indoctrination, institutionalization and orthodoxy.  Reclaiming our personal power enlightens and synergizes our social experience.  Empowerment is the momentum of our universality.  Being in flow with its energy is our collective destiny.  Empowering our being, transforming our experience, and inspiring others to empower theirs is the expression of our universality.     

“Empowerment is the essence of conscious being.”

“Duality is the bane of existence.”

Heaven and Hell

Recently, I travelled to Northern Michigan to visit family.  Scanning through the radio stations in the rural areas I came across several religious programs.  While I waited for the station to change, I caught some of the content.  There were undercurrents of “Heaven and Hell.”  Most of it fear-based threats of dwelling in the latter if you didn’t believe.  I smiled, shook my head and pondered why so many people are obsessed with the paradigm of a dualistic afterlife.  Then it occurred to me, why does it have to be one or the other?  Are these the only options?  Intuition “saved” me from the instinctual and intellectual ping-pong of religion.   

Re-Entry

A week ago, I returned from an annual event in which I participate.  It is difficult to describe with words, so I will not attempt.  I will say that it is a community experience where people work together and support each other in an extraordinary experience of relativity.  The event is so intense and powerful, I release all the things I am exposed to in my daily life.  When I return to society, the distinction between where I have been and what I am walking back into is a cultural shock to awakened senses.  The key is to sustain my connection with this way of being, amid society’s strategies to impose competition, conformity and duality.

By Design

Social reality is an artificial system of control.  If this is not apparent to us now, perhaps it never will be.  We all have a common choice to shift how we act, think, feel, behave and be.  Many of us invest in social reality, carving our little piece of artificial heaven, which often manifests as our personal hell.  Many of us may even believe our selfish desire to bolster our individual ego, experience, power and status is happiness.  This is furthest from the truth.  Yet, suggesting this to people often provokes their delicate dander’s in defense of what “they” alone believe to be true.  Truth is a way of being, illuminating, progressing and transforming our experience. 

Weapons of Social Distraction

The greatest distractions are those preventing us from observing and releasing our obsession with their triviality.  Society is addicted and dependent upon amusement.  Even the seemingly meaningful events in our lives are diversions from genuine consciousness, creativity, relativity and transformation.  Finding and sustaining our personal balance with all the dimensions of our experience is essential in manifesting our empowerment, enlightenment and transcendence from linear reality.  First, we must be present to and accountable for the distractions we allow to influence and alter our unique destiny.

“We exist in mind and body, devoid of heart, intuition and soul.”

The Truth of Reality

Our experience of life has been highjacked. We are influenced and programmed by covert, authoritarian organizations with the strategic purposes of exercising control, imposing fear, generating profit and projecting artificial power.  Beyond our anxiety, conditioning, denial, insecurity, oblivion and self-righteousness, all of us feel this to be true.  We simply believe negating their existence will prevent their agendas.  This is exactly what they desire.  To coin a phrase, “the greatest trick the Devil ever played on humanity was to convince the world he doesn’t exist.”  Millions of people have acquiesced into this collective obscurity.  

The Reality of Truth

Personal truth cannot be discovered or explored in a congregational paradigm.  Yet, society is rife with political, religious and social groups to distort and ultimately condition our individual understanding.  What is the bittersweet reality of being our truth?  It is a singular experience with little to no social encouragement, empowerment or support.  In every way, we face extreme adversity in our quest to stand in our authentic power.  However, personal truth can be influenced by our ego, transmuting it into delusion.  One collective truth transcends our pride and prejudice.  It is the universal truth with which we all resonate.  

The Empowerment of Being

All who choose to be an expression of the universe must release their individual interpretation of how their truth exists.  Being present to our universality empowers us to observe, envision, focus, intend and become its embodiment.  Knowing is an expression of our ego.  Understanding is the experience of being one with the universe.  It can be said that enlightenment is a fantasy of the mind.  Whereas empowerment is the force of the universe, inspiring us within the flow of its natural progression.  Freedom from instinctual and intellectual attachments empowers our being with universal energy.

Resonance and Relativity

Beyond our body, mind, heart, intuition and soul, we are a unique frequency of energy.  Becoming it requires us to establish and sustain an equilibrium with all elements of our being.  When we are aligned with the universe, our soul resonates through our intuition, emanates from our heart center, empowers our mind and body and transforms our experience and environment.  Maintaining this resonance is our purpose.  Expressing it into our personal lives is its relativity.  Our resonance and relativity are the cornerstones to being an expression of the universe.  They are the prime elements of our universality.  

Universal Experience

Standing in our truth is a challenging endeavor in a society imposing control, corruption, manipulation and the elimination of insight, vision, expression and being.  It is not just the cascade of contention we encounter in social reality.  It is the resistance within us which far exceeds the societal reactivity ultimately compromising our universal relativity.  When we stand against the currents of society, we are a force of the universe.  Our personal truth is merely a steppingstone to discover, embrace and align with universal truth.  Our common destiny is to transform our social encounters into universal experiences.

The New Era

“Awareness begins with the choice to be conscious.”

In the Shift:

As mentioned before in previous articles, we are in an extraordinary, universal energetic shift.  There has never been one more essential or significant.  Since before the Winter Solstice 2020, ascension, awareness, empowerment, inspiration, transformation and transcendence are available in remarkable abundance.  All it requires is for us to be present to our instincts, intellect, emotions, intuition, soul and the universe.  This is a choice we must make.  Before, it may have appeared optional.  Now, it is vital to fully experience our lives.  We can acquiesce and engage in the seductive influence of social reality and its material splendor, or we can awaken from and break the spell we all have been under to acknowledge, embrace, express and manifest our experience.

Sleepless Slumber:

Our life is a dream.  Nothing more, nothing less.  In fact, many of us have never awoken.  We stumble in the darkness of society reacting to circumstances and situations with the dire hope we break ahead.  This is the fundamental dynamic of reality.  Living from external motivations of lack, want and survival.  Our peripheral lives are rooted in a linear perception, constantly seeking self-value in the people around us.  When we fail to find our worth from others, we encounter instinctual, intellectual and emotional breakdowns, instantaneously severing our relativity with our heart, intuition, soul and the universe.  We engage in social reality, perceiving it as the path of least resistance.  Yet, it diminishes our potential to create, establish, express, manifest and sustain our personal truth.

Hook, Line and Sinker:

There are many devices of social entrapment.  Religion separates us from our soul.  Politics divide and disempower.  Advertisements program us to consume.  Entertainment lulls us into escapism and fantasy.  Sporting events spark us into a competitive fever pitch of triumph and tragedy.  All forms of media pander fear to condition our perception of the world.  The medical industry promotes illness and dependance on chemicals and continual care.  Laws are established by white collar criminals to protect their illegal activities, sentencing society to its own apathy, confusion, ignorance and oblivion.  While authoritarian regimes reign with a ruthless, global military state, wherein the people are manipulated to police each other.  All these social influences serve to imprison us in our mind and body.    

Breaking the Chains:

Extracting ourselves from social reality can be an excruciating and terrifying experience.  There are many ways to free ourselves from all that arises to steal our consciousness.  Our focus, attention, awareness, energy and expression are vital to transforming our experience.  Whatever ritual we choose, what is most important is our alignment, equilibrium and relativity with the universe.  We must create, empower, inspire and sustain our unique purpose, while being aware of the billions of social influences we may encounter.  We are the weakest link in the chain of artificial society.  Meaning, only we can break the bonds of our engagement.  Simply shifting our attention from the peripheral with our inner observation and intention breaks the chains of our social incarceration.

“An eon of enslavement has ended; an era of empowerment has begun.”

The Rise of Universality:

We are a soul having a human experience.  Yet, we have been deceived into believing we are a human being having a spiritual encounter.  The focus of our common existence has been distorted and manipulated, tethering us to our instincts and intellect.  We are all multidimensional beings of energy expressing ourselves with our intuition, heart, mind and body.  Balancing the domains of our being to align with our soul is our universality, our relativity with the universe.  Though it has been available to us from birth, it is most accessible and present than ever before.  Universality is an eternal and infinite force, the source of all creativity, empowerment, imagination, inspiration, transformation and transcendence.  Humanity stands upon the threshold.  All we need do is walk through the door.

Rite of Passage:

Initiation is the cornerstone of all organizations, be they charitable, collegiate, corporate, political, religious or spiritual.  It is an introduction to an ideology, with the intention of enriching our lifestyle.  However, this too has been strategically highjacked to impose indoctrination into singular methodologies of organized propaganda.  Each of us must acknowledge and navigate our personal rite of passage to align with the universe and become its expression within social reality.  There are over seven billion unique rituals of experience existing around the world.  When we discover one we are inspired to walk, an extraordinary exchange of energy resonates through our intuition, heart, mind and body.  This equilibrium in our being is an affirmation we are in alignment with our soul and the universe.

The Grand Progression:

All who have chosen their unique path are in an accelerated evolution of conscious being.  Possibility and potentiality are always present.  Instant creation, expression and manifestation is happening all around us.  This, in and of itself, can spin us off our center.  We are all entering a powerful, transformative era of experiential existence.  From Winter Solstice 2021 to Spring Equinox 2022, the influence of social reality will intensify to prevent the Grand Progression of our energetic consciousness.  All who are engaged and invested in social reality will seek to control, distort, manipulate and obstruct humanity from achieving its collective destiny.  Yet, it is not the authoritarian forces who are holding us hostage.  It is our own apathy, control, fear and insecurity. 

Focus, Ground, Center and Balance:

Social environments activate our anxiety, chaos, escapism and pain.  We are victims of our circumstances, conditioning and programming.  Our acquiescence to social reality is our greatest self-oppression.  Being swept away by its tumultuous tides is an epidemic of global proportion.  We are constantly in an energetic hurricane, necessitating us to ground ourselves and step into its eye.  Our freedom is found within.  Our energy goes where our attention flows.  Amidst the melee, we must identify and establish our being by focusing our conscious intent.  Tuning the resonance of our energy empowers us to center ourselves as we navigate the perils of social reality.  Our equilibrium is the alchemy of our being. Establishing our balance with the universe in the present empowers our own. 

Creative Relativity:

What we think we know is immaterial.  What we believe we understand is even more irrelevant.  Our arrogance, entitlement, expectation and self-righteousness are what inhibits the evolution of our being.  The more we cling to the known aspects of our existence, the more we sacrifice our opportunity to shift with universal energy.  Relativity as familiarity confines us into a paradigm of antiquated obsolescence.  Relativity with the flow of creativity aligns us with the universe.  Who we are being in the present is our essential experience.  Our balanced being is a lightning rod carrying the resonance of the Grand Progression.  As we attune to this energy, we manifest its shift into social reality.  Releasing all we have established as our identity empowers our universality.

The New Era:

Beyond the threshold of all we know, abides all we feel, intuit and experience.  Instinct, intellect and reactive emotion has no bearing in the universe.  Therefore, it is nearly impossible to align with it while existing in a three-dimensional construct with a two-dimensional understanding.  We cannot experience universality through the lens of social reality.  This causes a paradox which annihilates our fulfillment.  We must be committed and willing to let go of everything around us, even ourselves, to embrace transcendence of being.  We are all creators of our experience.  We all have the personal power to align, focus, ground, center and balance our being.  We need only open our vision, set our intention, create our purpose, flow with the Grand Progression and be an expression of the universe.

Universal Flow:

All of us have a unique purpose only we can express.  It is our covenant with life.  When we commit to our destiny, it synergizes our relativity with the universe.  Given the status of society, it is evident we are not fulfilling our vow.  Universality is present whenever we are in alignment within ourselves.  This empowers us to express it into our social environment.  It inspires us to accelerate and elevate our energy.  Though we exist in a chaotic and destructive, virtual reality, universal energy is always present in every moment.  Our stream of consciousness is sourced from our soul, through our intuition and into our heart, mind and body.  It is a multidimensional experience empowering every element of our being.  Universality is the energy of the new era.  We are the instruments of its music.
