Often when someone states how challenging life is right now, there are those that point out other times in history that were difficult. However, it must be acknowledged that almost every notable historical tragedy has a version of itself currently being played out somewhere in the world right now - be it genocide, plague, famine, slavery - along with possible extinction due to widespread exploitation and destruction of ecosystems combined with climate change. It is not convenient or comfortable to accept the true picture of our current timeline which is a manifestation of a collective karmic pattern that must end very soon for humanity’s survival.
Determining what is good from what is bad for you and for the greater good is not necessarily judgmental or labeling which is limiting. Instead, it can be putting wisdom to use. Physical, emotional, and verbal violence has become so normalized in society that abusers feel emboldened and entitled to do more egregious acts causing even greater harm. Nonviolence is a spiritual discipline that requires dedicated self work that some are simply unable or unwilling to commit to. Therefore there must be consequences for those who continuously stoke chaos and inflict trauma upon others. Bad actors will continue to attempt to manipulate humanity’s future into something horrible and hopeless but what they are trying to achieve cannot happen unless everyone else allows it to happen. You have worked for years setting your own healthy boundaries and now you must assist your community, your country, your world in setting healthy boundaries. It will be difficult but it is necessary. You cannot sit this one out hoping all of this mess will go away. It will take work and cooperation. Take ownership for how your words, your actions, your presence - or lack thereof - contribute to the collective. Trust yourself that you will be able to discern what and who deserves your attention from an attempt to misuse or diffuse your energy. Believe that peace within and without is possible. This timeline can still turn out far better than it currently seems. Never underestimate the power of people magic. Encourage others onward. Keep the faith. Never give up.

It is very clear now that living in the old way which was known and comfortable, but often unfair and limiting, is a rapidly fading option. Remember to stop and take a breath as needed to remain centered for you will have to be able to be decisive and emotionally steady even when situations and your environment change unexpectedly. It will be necessary to get educated on things you might have ignored or missed or been misled on as you build solidarity with others dedicated to doing the same.
Over the years, New Age gurus, ascension experts, and other self-appointed enlightened ones have told followers not to watch, read, or listen to mainstream news because it is low vibe and instead suggested reading alternative news sources for information. While mainstream news often only gives the Cliff Notes version of complex events and social issues, many alternative news sources contain nationalistic propaganda or are actual foreign psyops. Be very discerning when any speaker or writer wants to ban books regarding actual historical events, disregards proven facts and truths, or minimizes the voices of women or people of color. Distance yourself from healers or spiritual counselors who once seemed aligned with Source but now spout radicalized beliefs for there are unfortunately far too many with large, loyal followings. Self-work continues to be essential but it must done as you serve others and your community. You have to be ready to fight for what is equitable for all including both humans and the natural world. Rampant injustice, unfairness, and sociopathy have been a weight on humanity’s collective soul for millennia. But your awareness of the ugliness of it all, though often a burden in the past, is now your superpower. For along with the ugliness, you were always aware of the potential to create something better. Often in the past, this awareness led only to disappointment, disillusionment, and despair as you could see too many people simply not trying to be better, to do better without taking responsibility or having accountability for all the harm they caused. The rules seemed only to work to prevent good things from happening rather than preventing the bad. But you have to have faith that the tide is changing. It is awful to see in the light all the hate, greed, and entitlement others wear like a badge of honor but only by seeing, can the harm they do be mitigated and eradicated. Those that find joy and pleasure in harming and exploiting others cannot have a part in creating the society that will provide a safe healthy environment for humans and nature to thrive. That creation is for you and others like you to work at together to make happen. You have been waiting months, years honing your skills, gaining wisdom but the waiting is over. This is it. Time is at a premium. The world climate is changing and the planet herself is transforming. Your community, your country, your world needs you. You must show up and be present. You may be physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally exhausted, but you are a survivor. There is no easy way ahead but you are not alone as you once were. There are others walking the walk and talking the talk just as you do. And most of all, Mother Earth is ever present to keep you grounded and supported as you walk resolutely into the unknown future.

Many continue to pursue life as they believe it once was which can be seen as a complete rejection of reality or at least a resistance to accept what is, neither of which will stop the inevitable realization that the past is no more. In many parts of the world, day to day life has become increasingly difficult due to weather pattern changes, cyclical geological events, inability to grow food, and lack of clean water.
Additionally, many have never done any self-reflection or self-work and now stand ill-prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for what now must be unavoidably faced. Some choose ignorance, violence, lies, and oppression because such choices are easy and provide distraction from the biggest truth of them all that humanity has arrived at the brink of extinction by often allowing the worst and weakest to lead and for profit and convenience allowed the destruction of the natural world without accountability century after century. There is no longer the time and energy to pander to or indulge those that should be considered a threat to the well-being of the planet and human existence. Too many people are struggling unnecessarily or being exploited while a few work against the greater good for all by hoarding resources and wealth. Due to climate change and ecological collapse, this scenario is unsustainable and existing systems are ill-prepared for the challenges ahead. You embrace the totality of what it is to be human in all its duality. Always feeling as an outsider, you have been observing other humans since birth. You have seen the best of them and the worst of them. You are aware of the potential of humans yet have too often witnessed potential squandered. The traumas inflicted upon you have made you wise and resilient. You have often walked alone as both protection and preference. An equitable future for all sentient beings is still possible but you will be forced out of your comfort zone and find yourself in unfamiliar territory to reach it. All is not lost as long as you will yourself up when you are knocked down. It is you and others like you that now must stand together. Together, you have the power, strength, love, and grace to face the ugliness of it all yet still see the beauty, still find the hope.

You remain so exhausted that it is difficult to assess all that is required of you in service to yourself, to mankind, to the planet. But individuals, corporations, governments need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. The greatest crime is the destruction of habits and polluting of our planet placing humanity and so many other species at even greater risk as they face global climate change. But the obscenely wealthy and seemingly powerful also have to be held to account for their other crimes against humanity - the misogyny, the racism, the colonialism, the exploitation.
Holding others to account is not about judging oneself morally superior or about seeking revenge. If brutality and injustice is continually ignored, society collapses. And now more than ever in recorded human history, a highly adaptable and equitable society is necessary. Because the warning signs were deliberately ignored for decades out of greed and convenience, unless a highly adaptable and sentient society is in place, the planet will become uninhabitable to humans in a very short time. Magical thinking and love and lighting people or circumstances will not alter this course. Cooperation and coordinated efforts are required to radically shift humanity’s relationship to the planet and how humans interact with each other. Those that deliberately divide, spread lies and hate, grift the gullible, and manipulate followers into committing acts of violence cannot be allowed to remain an obstacle. With the time for preparation shortening, they have moved from being a dangerous sideshow distraction to a serious threat to the survival of humanity. Those that have been devoting their energy to being the sidekicks or cheerleaders for poorly conceived Bond villains or Arkham Asylum inmates will have to be sidelined as a new society is forged without their contribution for they are not ready to serve the greater good. Trust takes time to build but unfortunately humanity does not have the luxury of time when it comes to its own survival. And so you must trust yourself first and foremost - trust your better nature and the wisdom you carry from your ancestors. As to whom to trust, trust those willing to do the work, who are kind, who care more about others than their comfort, social standing, or bank account. The world has felt unsafe for too many for too long but a new world emerges. Step into it and open to the possibilities. It really is okay to let the old world go.

In the midst of turmoil and distress, you find your place of peace through radical acceptance of self and what is. Being an observer is not an easy role for there is much to witness that is sad and disturbing and you have experienced many painful losses, too. While you accept that life has an inevitable end, it is the unnecessary suffering and horror perpetuated daily by some humans onto all sentient life that is as disappointing as it is horrifying. Like all cycles, this collective cycle of human experience is ending but the unraveling of the layers of corruption, manipulation, and abuse is unpleasant. It takes more power to build than to destroy which is why it seems so many give in to destructive tendencies rather than creative ones.
You do not have to settle for injustice and mistreatment as your reality. You are reminded that much of what happens to you and around you has nothing to do with you at all. Your reaction to it all is everything. Your choices have consequences and you are responsible and accountable for those choices. Conditions on this planet will not improve - indeed human life may soon cease to exist - without necessary action. Those that make choices that undermine the well-being of society and the natural world have to be held to account if they take no self-responsibility. If they are unable or unwilling to hold a mirror to themselves, you must be the mirror. Your life experiences thus far have prepared you for what is ahead. You are exhausted so find respite in nature as necessary because you will often have to fight for what serves the highest good though it is not your job alone to revolutionize society and ensure the planet is inhabitable for humans. Be assured there are beautiful experiences ahead, great music to be heard, laughter to be shared not just work and more work. Even as you navigate through the dark without a map, light is ever present and serenity is yours for the taking.

You remain exhausted, traumatized, and heartbroken yet see clearly what is playing out around you. There are no secrets now for everyone has their playbooks wide open though too many continue to ignore the obvious. It is disappointing to witness those consciously choosing to manipulate, deceive, and knowingly brainwash others to enforce their cruel, oppressive, and destructive agendas. Do not lose yourself in worry and concern but do acknowledge that you are dealing with actual threats to your well-being and to the future of humanity itself and act accordingly.
Everyone is free to believe what they want to believe but there is divine truth and in order for humanity to thrive, those who break laws, destroy the natural world, and subjugate others must be held accountable for their words and actions. You cannot love and light those with no integrity or ethics toward kindness and compassion when their inner compass is guided by evil not love. Many are in need of deprogramming - political and spiritual leaders, television and radio pundits, social media influencers, longtime friends, and family members - but you must resist the urge to isolate in order to protect yourself from others. Remain open and mingle with new people in new places. There are still good people in the world doing the hard work required on themselves and for their communities and the planet. Go out and meet them, particularly when your current support system fails. Everything is the process of deconstruction and reconstruction yet many are trying to live life as before as if the chaos of metamorphosis is not happening. Sometimes it is horrific, sometimes absurd but it is always surreal and gives everyday life that Twilight Zone feel that you have now grown quite accustomed. Some at least are getting it so all is not lost but the road ahead will be extremely challenging and difficult choices will have to be made. Ways of being and doing will quickly have to be adapted to everchanging circumstances. Those most resistant to change will not have an easy go of it and will be the most problematic to interact with. While you must accept what is, you do not have to settle for a nightmarish existence on a blighted planet. You have been plunged into darkness and back into the light so many times that what is ahead will not be so different from what you have experienced before. You are not a failure because your life has not turned out as expected. For better or for worse, you are battle-scarred and battle-ready. Your existence here will sometimes be unpleasant but there will be joy, laughter, and wonderful surprises, too - a full human experience as part of your life well-lived. You are wise and capable. You can do this. (c)GingerMysteries www.gingermysteries.com You are welcome to share this article but please include the above credit. Despite all the suffering, decay, and death that surrounds you, there is still a sense of hope that somehow the tide will turn, a miracle so glorious will unfold. But for now, you are spent and unsure for the destination ahead remains intangible, indefinable.
What is very clear is that too many people simply do not care for others, do not care for the planet, do not care for their souls. The narcissism, the misogyny, the racism, the greed, the cruelty is as relentless as it is disappointing. Too many are radicalized lost souls who are indifferent to the harm that they do. You cannot save them. You can only mitigate the damage that they do by holding them accountable and taking responsibility for your own words and actions. You must continue to stay engaged with what is happening even if it all seems overwhelming and hopeless. Sticking your head in the sand is not an option. You must remain observant and ready to act when needed. Engaging with the brainwashed and foolish is futile even dangerous. You may be fully aware of the potential and capabilities of others but wishing and hoping that others do better and be better is a misuse of your energy. They have committed to resisting change and being agents of discord. You will have to do the hard work because others are simply not going to do it. You may have children or you may have none but it is still your mission on Earth to create a better world for future generations. Fires, storms, eruptions, floods will only be increasing and humans will have to be able to rapidly adapt to unpredictable scenarios. Governments that historically are slow to evolve will have to transform quickly to act for the greater good or will cease to be. There is much turbulence and chaos to endure ahead but there is joy and laughter to experience too. Do not despair. Find the beauty in each moment. Be kind. Be gentle. Be love. There is meaning and purpose to all of this though it may be unknowable to you now.

For months, you have been held in stasis for although things are moving rapidly around you, nothing seems to change at all. Your hope is waning and your faith is shaken. You are ready to experience something entirely new but unfortunately the majority of other humans are not ready to join you for they are expending their energy trying to recreate a past that can be no more.
Your presence on this planet is contributing in a meaningful way even if you have always felt that you do not belong here because everything feels wrong and being here is uncomfortable. Your understanding of what purpose a human life serves is actually almost nothing so accept there is far more happening with you, to you, and around you than you will ever perceive or understand while in human form. Though you have free will, you were never meant to control or manipulate your experiences here or to use your words and actions to harm others. Some have revealed themselves to be frauds, sociopaths, or outright evil. Some are brainwashed and radicalized. You have to be able to discern who must avoid and who you must hold to account for the safety of yourself, your community, and in some cases, the future of humanity itself. Yet you must not lose your empathy and ability to love and be loved even in these often precarious times. It is still possible to find beneficial people to have meaningful, supportive connections with even if too many people are toxic now. You are exhausted, sad, disappointed, and often overwhelmed but you can still experience life as a gift rather than a curse by being of service to others, to the trees, to the oceans, to the animals, to the planet. Show up and be present as the kind and honorable human you are. Even when it feels it is not enough, that you are not enough, you are making a difference. (c)GingerMysteries www.gingermysteries.com You are welcome to share this article but please include the above credit. For millennia, humanity has suffered many hardships and atrocities but in this day and age as a planetary collective, we are experiencing them all at once as an old Earth cycle dies and new Earth cycle is born. Although humans expend a great deal of time and resources in trying to control others and circumstances, the hard truth is that life is often unpredictable and short. You can only control yourself - how you react and interact with others and your environment. To live your most enjoyable, meaningful life, you must devote your energy to things that actually matter. Others may have their own idea of what you should be doing or what you must do, but ultimately you have to go your own way even if it irritates and angers others. This is not to say, that it is okay to behave in a manner that is unethical or damaging to others. You are part of a community even if you consider yourself a loner and a hermit. You exist to be of service. But you must first be of service to yourself.
Unless you were born into a family with extreme wealth and privilege, the odds for success have never been stacked in your favor. The systems put into place long ago were not designed for you to thrive in a supportive environment. Instead, from the time you were born, the systems were designed to wear you down - force you into repetitive patterns that stripped you of your voice and your autonomy - to make you feel empty, to make you fail. When you are truly able to see and feel all that is playing out around you, living day to day becomes exhausting. However, even if you are aware of all of it, no matter how you resist, you cannot escape it. It just is what is. Many are attempting to distract themselves from reality, trying to delude themselves into believing that the old normal is returning and that all that they have to do is live life the old way to bring it back. The old normal is not returning. Humanity has entered a new playing field with a future that is unseeable and unknowable. This is disorienting. Others are reacting in fear and violence. You show your strength through your grace and endurance, your willingness to be vulnerable. For now, manage your spiritual, mental, emotional well-being. If you are overwhelmed, seek help with the caveat that excluding sociopaths who are reveling in the chaos, almost everyone is in crisis on some level right now. The most restorative action may be to visit a wild beach or a dense forest where you can tune into the rhythms of nature far from the cacophony of human activity. If a beach or a forest are out of reach at the moment, find a local park where you can sit on a bench and listen to the birds and the rustling of the leaves from the morning breeze. Remember to breathe when your circumstances feel suffocating. Climate change and ecological collapse will push humanity to either cooperate or perish. Humans have their greatest successes when each contributes their own strengths and individual tools to a common cause for the highest good. Even if you feel depleted or hopeless right now, you are needed and you are worthy of experiencing love, joy, and abundance. Hold your vision for a future in which all sentient beings may flourish. May your vision be a shared vision that creates a miracle. (c)GingerMysteries www.gingermysteries.com You are welcome to share this article but please include the above credit. In the midst of metamorphosis, the intensity and pressure becomes greater as the process of change deepens and becomes absolute. Continue to remain aware of what is happening around you even if it is painful to look at. While much of everything and everyone continue to go to the extreme in reaction, try your best to find the stillness in the middle. Distance yourself from family members, friends, social media connections, or “enlightened” know-it-alls who reveal their lack of empathy and moral compass for it is unnecessary to subject yourself to harm or abuse in order to be loving, kind, or helpful.
Being human entails feeling emotion - the good and the not so good. Learn to process your emotions rather than to project or bury them. Continue to focus on clearing all beliefs, patterns, behaviors - which are often ancestral or conditioned - that do not reflect your authentic self. Doing your self work is the highest form of service you can do for your self, your loved ones, your community, your planet. You are not meant to live in a traumatized, triggered state day after day. You are not a failure if you ask for help. Acknowledge your exhaustion and use whatever tools are available to you as needed - spend time in nature, talk to a therapist, go to an energy healer, meditate, sing, dance, chant, whatever you need to do to stay in the present feeling alert, centered, and strong. There is no more time and energy to waste on mouthpieces or “leaders” who distract humanity from the harsh truth that there are signs everywhere that a mass extinction event is underway. Anything and anyone that takes collective focus away from that truth is not for the highest good and should be considered an obstacle that must be neutralized. Our oceans, our land, our air, ourselves are constantly and deliberately being poisoned for thrills and profit. This is an abundant world but some would have you believe it is a world of scarcity, a wasteland because they feed off of fear and acts of cruelty and destruction. Surround yourself with those like you who are committed to being their best self and making the world a better, more supportive place, a space of joy and wellness where all sentient beings may flourish. The belief that suffering is necessary in order to learn, to grow, or for a few to thrive ends now.
