I infer that we have entered an Age of WTF. I make that observation holistically; I am not specifically talking about weather, politics, wars, economics, social issues, or what-have-you. Rather, the observed volatility seems to be across-the-board. Something unusual and perhaps unprecedented appears to be unfolding. Hence, WTF.
The key point here is an apparently increased volatility. The meaning of which is a tendency towards greater extremes, with a correspondingly increased risk of things going entirely off the rails. And, of course, greater chaos in the system – whether the system being observed is weather, politics, geo-politics, economics, or societal unrest. What to do with the increased volatility?
I remind myself, of course, that it is a never a winning strategy, vis-à-vis metaphysical realities, to be in reaction mode to the events of the world or the news of the day. Rather, the whole point of mastering the “Quantum Signal” one is emitting is so the physical world can respond to what you are sending out – as opposed to trying to react suitably to whatever the world is volleying at you. Still, it behooves us to attempt to understand this period of apparently increased volatility. At minimum, such understanding should help us to be less about reacting and more about tailoring one’s personal offerings to the sea of energy out of which events precipitate in this physical world.
Several weeks ago, contrary to my own cautions about reading the news, I found myself disturbed by an incisive and intelligent article (as published in an incisive and intelligent magazine) about the Russia-Ukraine war. The thesis of the article was the improbability of any notion that Russia could easily be persuaded to just call it a day and agree to make the current battle lines the new borders on a permanent basis. Hmm, I thought, that might generate a threat of an escalated response against Russia. Which could lead to further escalation. Which could lead us down the road to World War III – and perhaps even to a nuclear conflict. Which could make all those annoyingly dystopian post-apocalyptic movies actually prescient.
At which point I was momentarily like a frightened child: I need an adult! I thought of the “Guardrails” for this Earthly reality that have been posited by many (as discussed in my recent book, EARTH GAME The Next Level). At the first opportunity to meditate, I could sense a meditation had already been readied for me. The “theme” was right there waiting for me as I began to focus on my breathing: Project Guardrails. I metaphorically pressed the “start” button and felt the meditation drawing me towards the designers and overseers of Earth Game – the ones I call “The Founders”. I asked them: Where are the Guardrails here?
Their answer surprised me: “You are the Guardrails”. Huh??? I instantly understood that they did not mean the singular “You”, and they were not ascribing any kind of leading role to me. Rather, they meant the great many of us who have been “tapped on the shoulder”, some of us decades ago, others more recently. Of the .5% of the Earth’s population who are said to be “Old Souls”, some proportion of those. Doesn’t sound like much, but .5% of eight billion people is still 40 million. Even a subset of 40 million would be a significant group comprising “You”.
Okay, I asked, explain to me how some fraction of half of one percent of the Earth’s population somehow serve as “Guardrails” to protect the human experiment on Earth from going over a cliff? And, they proceeded to explain. Which explanation I now pass along here.
Free Will has boundaries. We share a reality here. (I will address “Multiverse” thinking below.) Your ability to irretrievably mess this place up is boundaried by my ability to make it a wonderful place to adventure. And vice versa. For the most part, of course, our realities do not clash or collide. You can prosper in health and abundance while my personal world degenerates, and the converse is equally true. But there are limits. My “Heaven on Earth” does not allow for “nuclear winter”. On a less apocalyptic scale, there is no practical way to combine a global economic collapse with my enjoyment of blueberries year-round.
In my personal world, my “Quantum Signal” regarding anything – including my adventure here viewed holistically – determines the range of possibility in relation to that thing. Likewise for you. In my estimation, the entire gamut of dystopian futures that many for some reason like to contemplate as “entertainment” is a no-go for me. No nuclear winter. No zombie apocalypse. No massive asteroid colliding with Earth. Shoo, I say to the curiously common penchant for looking to such scenarios as entertainment.
I promised above to address “Multiverse” thinking in this context. Admittedly, in an “everything, everywhere, all at once” reality, my range of possibility would be irrelevant to yours. However, in EARTH GAME The Next Level I explained why I regard the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics as being entirely off the mark. Without repeating the full explanation here, a “Multiverse” model of reality would (i) be inefficient to the point of absurdity (and thus would make no sense from the perspective of “Source/God” as creator of such reality); (ii) render Free Will meaningless (because every possible choice would be made in some reality), and (iii) make Earth Game not a multi-player game, but rather a single-player game, where every person in your reality (other than you) is a Non-Player Character. Yes, in the Quantum realm, parallel timelines are constantly being explored. But not here in Earth Game as experienced by you and me in this world of form. This is a true multi-player game; and we are in it together.
In the meantime, yes, there is darkness in our shared world. These days, it seems, a particularly noisy darkness. Although my aforesaid concern about a global war may have eased a bit, it has been replaced by other disturbing concerns about the geopolitical situation. Still, as I remind myself often these days, one does not have to fix the darkness as the price of admission to “Heaven on Earth”. Such remediation is not even on the path. Just be the light. I like the metaphor Kryon (as channelled by Lee Carroll) uses: where a darkened room is next to a light-filled room and a door is opened between them, the darkness does not spill into the light. Nor can the light be stopped from spilling into the dark. No, just be the light.
In one’s personal quest for “Heaven on Earth”, it is essential to avoid the trap of thinking that the way to get there is to make everything perfect in your physical world, or worse yet, in the world. You will never get to that perfection, and it isn’t the way there anyway. Instead, you touch the otherworldly beauty that is “Outside the Jar” – i.e., outside four-dimensional Spacetime – and tune to it. The joy of the divine Masculine is always there for you, awaiting for you to attune to it. As is the love of the divine Feminine, waiting for you to allow yourself to receive it.
Think of the true, or divine, Masculine and the true or divine Feminine as together constituting the “Guardrails”. If you can imagine a precipice with a sheer drop on either side, perhaps imagine toxic masculinity on the one side and toxic femininity on the other side. But on the high road, where the joy of the divine Masculine and the love of the divine Feminine together hold sway, that is the way to “Heaven on Earth”.
Neither the otherworldly joy or the otherworldly love flow from or arise from anything that happens in the physical world. As such, they are not dependent on any physical cause or state of affairs. Think of them as if they were radio stations that are always broadcasting. You can tune to them any time you like. Yes, you can be distracted away from them, and sometimes the distractions are temporarily difficult to ignore. But those broadcasts are always there, waiting to welcome you the moment you tune back in.
Conversely, in any particular moment, it is possible to make a case for being disturbed or worried. You can always find something to feel disturbed or worried about. Even if you are on an idyllic all-inclusive vacation, you can if you are predisposed to do so find something not to like, whether about the weather or the food or people you interact with, or whatever. Or, you can just check in on the news of the world; you can always find something there to get your goat. Or, you can worry about the trip home and the things you will have to deal with when you get back. Or, as a default you can focus on the inevitability of your own death or the death of others near and dear to you. Just as the otherworldly joy and the otherworldly love are a choice, it is a choice to stew in a feeling of being disturbed or worried. The latter do not feel like a choice sometimes; i.e., you simply react. But beyond the initial reaction to an event, the choice is real. You get to decide what to attune to.
We become so accustomed to reacting to events out there in the world that for many people that is their entire operating system. In a busy world, that can be exhausting; there is just too much to react to. We forget that we are powerful transmitters, and that, at a Multi-Dimensional level, our world responds to whatever we are transmitting. Mastering what I have called one’s “Quantum Signal” is a far more effective and efficient approach to life on Earth than attempting to satisfactorily react to everything happening everywhere. Free Will is real, and it is powerful. But its power is less about what you do and more about what you attune to. Your ability to take action that directly impacts the physical world is far less powerful than your ability in the Quantum, or Multi-Dimensional realm.
An interesting take on this (I will credit teacher/author Jim Self for this one) is that when one is caught up in the world of form, one does not actually have Free Will. That is, if you settle for the default of “reaction mode”, your response in any situation will be a function of this equation: external event x (programming + past experiences) = your thoughts and actions in response. In my vernacular, when one settles for playing the game “Inside the Jar”, Free Will is not being engaged (I would not go so far as to say you do not have Free Will). We tend to think of Free Will in terms of actions taken in the physical world. However, it always begins at the level of thought. If you get to choose what you think (which you do), why not select the good stuff from that menu? Why not choose thoughts of the highest possible resonance? If your answer to that is because some things in the world of form are troubling or terrifying, you are declining to engage Free Will. Easy this is not. But it is essential to break free of “reaction mode”.
Let me come back to the “WTF volatility” discussed at the beginning of this article. I do not see the current volatility as an accident. Rather, I sense it as being purposeful, planned; part of Earth’s story. Moreover, it seems designed (in a way I find disturbingly similar to COVID) to (i) affect all of us, and (ii) take us by surprise. (For example, I don’t recall psychics or other prognosticators predicting that the United States and Russia would become, per a recent quip from Stephen Colbert, “pickleball partners”.) Even the tragic roles played by certain world figures who seem to have it in their destiny to generate chaos seem to me a part of the plot development. For whatever reason, the current volatility was designed to be part of our collective story. Where it will take us in the story, I have no idea. But I think I can see what it was meant to do, and why it is here. My take on that follows.
Hey, says the WTF volatility, you like reacting to the world as your basic way of operating in Earth Game? You take pride in “situational awareness” and reacting to the situation? You think it would be irresponsibly foolish to meditatively set your frequency while ignoring the world of politics and governments and economics and global disasters? Well, we’re turning things up a notch. Let’s see you react to THIS. And THIS. And then THAT. And then, be ready to duck and keep ducking, because we’ll keep it coming at you. Unless, maybe you’d like to rethink your basic operating strategy of being in reaction mode.
I recently had a reminder of the above demonstrated personally to me through a series of relatively minor events. The only significant thing about the events was that they seemed to arrive in an annoying clump. Multiple technological issues arising at the same time. A couple of minor athletic injuries that weren’t healing up as quickly as I would have liked. Weather that managed to annoy me. A minor surgical procedure undergone by a family member. An ongoing stream of unsettling news on the world news front. And several other stressors not worth mentioning. But as I say, arriving all in a timeframe that felt like “piling on”. When I looked for the meaning of said Clump of Untoward Events, I felt reminded that the river of joy had not gone away, and that the embrace of love was still there for the receiving. Could I decline to take the bait that would ensnare me in feeling disturbed and worried? I found that I (mostly) could. I still had some worldly things to clean up or attend to, but I could tackle all that while being (mostly) tuned to the river of joy and the embrace of love. So that I could resume making at least some progress toward my own personal “Heaven on Earth”.
A striking thing about the part of you (specifically, the Consciousness accessed via the pineal / sixth chakra / third eye) who is perpetually tuned into the river of joy is they do not get upset. And the part of you (the heart centre) who is perpetually embraced by love does not worry. They just don’t. Those aspects of your Consciousness are playing a different game than your physical brain – which tends to get whipsawed hither and thither at the slightest disturbance. The lesson: begin to identify more with that joy-brain (the one sourced through the pineal or third eye or sixth chakra) and with that love-brain (the one sourced through the heart). When you look out through their perception, you will see for yourself that – remarkably – they do not get upset, and they do not worry. As you begin to identify with their perspectives, you will begin to identify less with the noisy chatterbox physical brain who seems always on the lookout for things to be upset or worried about. Yes, you need that physical brain to navigate this physical world. But you don’t have to make it the CEO of the adventure. The bigger aspects of your Consciousness are better suited to co-lead the expedition.
Of course, the more you are tuned to the river of joy and the embrace of love, the more your physical world will progressively tend to have a sweetness to it. All trending in the direction of personal abundance and love and fun and good health and what seems like remarkably persistent good luck (all despite occasionally having to deal with “stuff”). All of which should progressively persuade your physical brain to go with the flow and abandon its determination to be CEO of You Inc.
What you are emanating at a Multi-Dimensional level will inevitably be reflected, over time, in what gets manifested in your little corner of Spacetime. And, if that little corner of Spacetime is locked-in as a bright and happy place, that relegates most dystopian scenarios for the entire planet to the realm of the impossible. Remember: when you are on the path to your personal “Heaven on Earth”, you (together with all those of similar ilk) are the Guardrails for all who adventure on this planet. You want to save the world from impending darkness? Turn your personal dial to the light.
Feel for the joy. And the love. Be attuned to the light. Be the light. And be the Guardrails.
