Oh, goodness. You always hit the points. I was actually crying about half way through because *I* want to be here for the beauty! Not the work. I think I have dreamed and wished of the world you describe for most of my life.
And then you talk about the grief! And yes, the grief for not being here for the beauty but as the bridge for it.
So much for me to let go of yet in order to help others make that crossing. Yes, I do believe that is what we are here for.
Well, here's a little newsflash, Tara - you will be here to see it. Maybe not in this body, and this vessel, but when we allow ourselves to step out of our mind and anchor in our soul, we start to realise this body is just the vehicle we're driving for this stretch of our soul's journey. This stretch is about the bridge building, and we're in just the right vehicle to do that now. Later, once that's done, our soul may choose another vehicle to come and enjoy what we built a bridge to. We are not who we think we are - we are so much more. I have no intention of enjoying the beautiful new world we build in a 100 year old body. I'll take a new vehicle thanks! There are so many adventures for us all to have - this life is just one, and it's not even the first. We were all here at Atlantis, we watched it fall, now we're back to rebuild it, and we'll be back again to enjoy it. Let your body feel the grief, but let your soul remind you what's really true. xx
The Truth of who we are and how we were created is in One Mind, in the only true reality, love, and that state of being is real and eternal. Everything else is illusion and is preceded by perception. The perfection that holds this all in place, that energy, cannot be changed or destroyed. The power we have is in our choosing Love, the true perception.
I feel what you are saying, Tara. But we already have been the ushers for the new reality. And like Wiz said in his response to you, we will be here in soul, maybe not in body, or at least not the body we are currently familiar with. We will recognize each other when the time comes.
These waves of energy can really knock us around when we try to fight it. It’s like being caught in a rip, the more you try to get back to shore, the more you wear yourself out and get pulled out to sea. Best to let the current take you where it’s taking you. It’s not giving up - it’s riding the wave, working with the available energy instead of fighting against it. Sending both you and your husband love and the light of courage for this moment! Onwards!! xx
How expansive and exquisite. Your words lifted me, made me want to dance, to take large sweeping strokes of color to canvas. "... a return to rhythm and trust" " to notice what still hums beneath the noise" "Earth is not just shifting physically - its reshaping itself emotionally and spiritually. The planet is in its own initiation" And as I read on, a voice in me (an iridescent sprite) was saying, "you will return to assist the rebirth!"
Frances, that is amazing. You should follow that impulse - turn these words into movement and color, I’d love to see what it all comes out like! Trust that inner voice, it knows what it’s talking about! xx
Here you go again!! Amazing. I read the entire piece aloud to my spouse. Glad I had tissue close by. Incredibly powerful and again fully resonates. We know we chose this time frame to be here and know our place in this world. I began working with the Akashic records along with my continuing daily practice of meditation. As I read aloud I could feel a little grief as a vision of myself looking back saying goodbye and thank you to the old world. It's time for the collective to wake from its long imposed slumber. We here are shining our lights all across the world to help them wake up. As always Wizard, thank you. Love & blessings to you and yours.
Well, you say my words made you cry, but now your words brought tears to my eyes. To know that this writing resonated enough for you to read it aloud....well that is just deeply honoring and satisfying. Thank-you for catching this signal, for remembering, for understanding, and for being here with us all at this time, building the bridge and paving the way. I'm so glad of you, Rose. Onwards! xx
You described it as a computer system reset. Are we living in the cosmic matrix? And who assigned all these meanings to the planets in the first place?
These are excellent questions, with no real definitive answer - it's part of the mystery of existence, and while there are many theories as to wether we are in some kind of simulation or matrix, ultimately we are left to just land on what resonates best for each of us. Personally, I like being able to say "I don't know" - I'm happy with some things being unanswerable and mysterious. I have a sense of the answer, something that doesn't go into words, but I also have a sense that the actual answer is not that important in the long run. What is is, and how it is is allowed to be mysterious.
As for astrology and the planets, and “who made this stuff up?” Totally fair question, with a similarly mysterious answer. Nobody assigned the meanings to the planets the way a teacher assigns seats. Astrology isn’t a system one single person invented - it’s one humanity noticed over thousands of years, across multiple cultures. People kept seeing that when Mars was active, conflict brewed and when Venus was bright, love and peace bloomed. The patterns were consistent enough to become stories, then symbols, then systems and over time it became a system.
And this didn’t start last century in a yoga studio. Astrology is at least 4,000 years old - born in ancient Mesopotamia as a way to track sky patterns and predict collective events. The Babylonians gave us the zodiac. The Greeks layered in philosophy. Egypt, India, and China all had their own versions. By the time horoscopes showed up, we were already knee-deep in thousands of years of cosmic pattern recognition.
So it’s not that someone just decided “Saturn means discipline.” It’s that, generation after generation, people watched what happened when Saturn showed up, and discipline, hardship, or slow growth kept appearing. The meanings didn’t come from belief but from repetition. It's pattern recognition, noted over thousands of years. Nobody made it up. We remembered. I personally suspect that astrology is much much older than 4000 years old, and that what came about in ancient Mesopotamia was handed down to them from earlier civilisations that history has forgotten about. There was a time before time when we lived in communion with the stars - all our most ancient monuments seem to be oriented for celestial observance. We've long since forgotten our place in the cosmos, but astrology tether us back to an ancient knowing. And I suspect this next few decades will bring us back into remembrance. Let's see! xx
Yes it is likely a collective knowledge and a whole bunch of mystery! Thanks for your reply :). Any books you have written or recommend on the subject?
One day I will write a book on the subject - that's on my to do list. In the meantime, I always direct people to my favourite astrology book that I have sitting on my shelf and still refer to regularly. Pam Gregory's books "You Don't Really Believe in Astrology, Do You?" and "How To Co-Create Using the Secret Language of the Universe" are both absolutely golden. I also love Steven Forrest's book "The Inner Sky". And if you're wanting a good astrology manual, you can't go past "The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need" by Joanna Martine Woolfolk. These are all great places to start an astro exploration!
I’ve had the book “Tge Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need” for many years….decades! I have really enjoyed it and it resonated with me. Having you endorse it as well adds another level of authenticity for me!!
Oh no no no no, I can't handle that. No, this is unacceptable, why does it all have to be so tediously slow? I've already been waiting all of this time for my entire life to start, but now it sounds like it won't even have a hint of beginning for at least another decade. No, that's not okay, I can't handle that. Why does it have to take so long?? The world has already suffered unimaginably for way longer than we should have, why are we being allowed to be tortured for decades more? I don't understand that.
"We didn’t come here to live in a utopia. We came to plant the seeds for one... We’re not cursed to be here - we volunteered."
I didn't... I don't remember ever agreeing to this, and because this current version of me does not remember signing that soul contract, then it's null and void as far as I'm concerned. That is not a legally binding contract anymore. No. I do not consent to this!! I don't think I can do it anymore, I feel like one of those things that can't cross that bridge. I don't feel capable of any of this anymore. It's too hard... I'm not strong enough to be one of those bridge builders, not resilient enough. I don't think I can do it 😭😭😭
Dear one, this is a perfectly acceptable response, and I want to honor everything you wrote. Thank-you for saying it so openly.
I have two responses. First I want to speak to the part of you that wrote it. The part of you that is deeply you in this lifetime, the part that resides in your mind and understands your identity in this body and remembers only your experience within that vessel. That part of you - which understands you have about 80 good years on this earth to make the best of things before it's all over - rightly rails against the notion that most of that time will be spent navigating a collapse. Not building upon what was, but watching things you love fall apart. To that very human part of you, I want to say I hear you, and I honor the grief you feel at the state of things. I honor how tired and exhausted you are from how rough this all is. This life is not playing out as you intended, and that....put quite simply....totally sucks. I hear you. I'm with you. Those feelings have a place and deserve to be honored.
But now, I'd like to address the larger part of you, the part contained within the vessel - the eternal part of you that remembers far more than just this physical life, but recalls all things from all of time, and was present from the beginning and will be here til the end. The part of you that doesn't see things in terms of a lifespan, because it lives beyond time and cannot be ended, so it knows no fear, for it can know no harm. Perhaps, it's a part of you that doesn't get to steer as often as it might like. Perhaps its a part of you that gets drown out by the noise of the mind, and it's a part of you that the mind does not consider important. But it is the largest part of you - in fact, it is the fullness of you. That part of you - that's the part that knows why you're here in the life, in this body, in this vessel. That's the part of you that volunteered, and chose to be here. And that part of you, I sense, has plenty it would like to say, if given the chance.
Each of us is both of these things - we are the mind, which manages our physical apparatus, but we are also the soul, which goes on even when the body cannot. We get to choose which of these we experience things through - are a a mind being steered by a soul, or are we a soul being overrun by a mind? That's what we get to decide - we can play this game of life however we want. But if we choose the mind, then these next months and years will be terribly challenging. The mind has no capacity to see the larger picture - it can only know its own finite lifespan and it rails against the notion that it's short time in this realm may be colored by discomfort and disruption.
That's the part of you that's struggling here, but peace is available by anchoring in your spirit, dropping into your heart, and allowing your mind to merge with the fullness of yourself. Seek the stillness and allow your soul to rise - it has so much to tell your mind, so much guidance and remembrance to offer. The discomfort you are experiencing is calling you into a deeper part of yourself, and reminding you that there is more, and that this wild time will make more sense when you adopt the broader soul perspective.
You are not wrong to feel how you feel. You can sit in those feelings as long as you need, and it would be right to do so. But when you're ready, the depths of who you really are is ready to hold you, and comfort you, and remind you what's really going on here. Seek the silence, follow the stillness, quiet your mind, open your heart....the fullness of who you are is waiting to be found. I send you love and light and courage for the onwards journey. xx
This response brought tears and a deep resonance. It helps to acknowledge all of our feelings. My human side is not very excited about suffering for the greater good, but I know my soul signed us up for this. I've always been willing to volunteer for the crappy jobs with the adage "someone has to do it" so I know in my heart that I raised my hand quickly for this mission, but my human side feels tired at the idea of what is happening now.
This is why I follow you Wiz. You are my coach and know what to say to keep me going. You speak directly to my soul. I feel more prepared for what's coming and ready to help others because of your writings for the past 9 months.
I do feel Liminal's pain though and the deep fatigue from humanity's depravity. It hurts to see so many being harmed by the greed of a few, and sometimes I get angry as well as sad. I am working on staying centered with your guidance. Thank you for holding the light so I can stay on course.
I can feel that there's probably a whole piece to write on this topic....lots more to say....but the thing that jumps out to me here is that we need not assume that what comes next is suffering. What this moment is all about is the collapse of that which is not built in truth and love. It's the fall of that which is false. That which is true will stand firm - only that which is built on the old frequency of fear will crumble. Yes, that does mean that some things we have built our lives around will become diminished, destabilised or destroyed entirely in the coming months and years, but only if it is inherently untrue. In a way, many of us have come to depend on people, relationships, institutions and systems that are ultimately no good for us, almost like we are drug addicts, hooked on something ultimately hurting us. As the drug is taken away, we may scramble to hold on to it through habit and through addiction - and yes, that may be experienced as suffering, but it's the kind of suffering that leads to healing. It's not pointless - it is essential if we truly wish to live. If our lives are built on a foundation of truth and love, then these coming months and years will not feel like suffering - they will feel like coming into alignment. There are people who will walk through this collapse entirely untouched by what's collapsing - it all defends on where our feet are planted, and on which foundations we built our lives. Any suffering we experience is not for the greater good, it is for our own good, forcing us to be uprooted from rotten foundations and replanted in good, healthy soil. Where we feel the discomfort is in the places where we are disconnected from the truth - any time that discomfort rises, it's a clue that we are in a head space more than a heart space, in fear more than in love, and it's a gentle (or not so gentle) invitation to shift our footing. Let us not look at what's ahead as a period of pain, deprivation or suffering - though all of these things may be experienced. Let us look at it as divine course correction - in all the areas where we have been refusing to move we will now feel intense discomfort, because moving to better foundations is now no longer optional, but required, and sometimes, we only move once the pain becomes unbearable. We don't have to wait for the discomfort to move - we can realign at any time, but for many of us we are in the habit of being reactive, and only moving when chased or forced. That's suffering for sure, but we can choose a gentler path by releasing resistance and following the flow of life. I'm not sure I'm saying this as succinctly or clearly as I could - I intend to unpack this more eloquently in future writing - but for now, I just wanted to put this much in writing, that the moment we are walking into does not require us to suffer. It requires us to anchor in truth and love, and the more we do that, the smoother this ride will be. xx
Thank you for clarifying that we will have the choice to realign ourselves to reduce discomfort. I've been bracing myself for what is coming, but you're saying it may not be as bad as I am imagining if I move with the flow.
It is difficult for me to stay out of my head as that is my nature. I am working on going more to my heart space. Meditation is helping.
You've got me on a roll now, but I think we're circling something here that's really important for this moment. You needn't stay out of your head - your mind is not the enemy, it just needs to be powered by the heart. When we lead with the mind, the mind tends to lean into fear - it's part of our human vessel that knows it is finite, so it's automatically designed to protect itself. The hear and the soul know they are eternal and cannot be harmed, so when we anchor in our heart, and allow our deep soul to rise and steer our mind, both things work together in harmony. When the soul powers the mind, that's how we can be in flow. The mind tends to want to dominate, because it's human and it's scared. We have to anchor in the stillness, allow our soul to rise, so that it may steer the mind. I believe this is the only way to navigate what comes next. This is the biggest part of why I'm mildly obsessed with the Resonance Room at the moment, because it takes the words from the Daily Lighthouse and puts them to a musical frequency - the words speak to the mind and the music speaks to the soul. It literally activates both at once, and that's what we need for moving forward. We don't need to turn our mind off, we just need to calm it down and let it be informed by our heart, by our soul. We need both - not one or the other. The mind is not the enemy, it just doesn't know what it's doing without the heart's guidance. It should never be left in charge without the soul's supervision! This is all about restoration of balance - not one or the other, but both working in harmony. xx
This essay is brilliant with profound implications! I don’t want to witness more suffering either, but seeing this view at 15,000 feet really helps. Seems like we will have to get good at feeling uncomfortable for awhile. A Brave New World as the saying goes.
Discomfort is just a little hint, a little nudge, that says “lean a little out of fear and more into love”. There will be lots of that this year - we are being forced to move, and it’s not a bad thing. It’s making space for better to bloom. xx
Ahhh, this makes so much sense. Music always opens my heart and calms my mind. My favorite quote from what you just wrote. "[The mind] should never be left in charge without the soul's supervision ". LOL you should hear what goes on in my mind at times. I will practice keeping them balanced and ensure that my soul keeps my mind from running off willy nilly. Thank you. I love when you're on a roll!!
‘Expect January to be volatile and loud, but understand why - it’s a pressure test, and what makes the most noise is what’s set to collapse as the months unfold.’
This is beautiful and uplifting to me and, I hope to many others who understand deeply what you are saying. Let’s continue to add our love and light to this world to help guide it as it flows. 🩷
Oh, goodness. You always hit the points. I was actually crying about half way through because *I* want to be here for the beauty! Not the work. I think I have dreamed and wished of the world you describe for most of my life.
And then you talk about the grief! And yes, the grief for not being here for the beauty but as the bridge for it.
So much for me to let go of yet in order to help others make that crossing. Yes, I do believe that is what we are here for.
Well, here's a little newsflash, Tara - you will be here to see it. Maybe not in this body, and this vessel, but when we allow ourselves to step out of our mind and anchor in our soul, we start to realise this body is just the vehicle we're driving for this stretch of our soul's journey. This stretch is about the bridge building, and we're in just the right vehicle to do that now. Later, once that's done, our soul may choose another vehicle to come and enjoy what we built a bridge to. We are not who we think we are - we are so much more. I have no intention of enjoying the beautiful new world we build in a 100 year old body. I'll take a new vehicle thanks! There are so many adventures for us all to have - this life is just one, and it's not even the first. We were all here at Atlantis, we watched it fall, now we're back to rebuild it, and we'll be back again to enjoy it. Let your body feel the grief, but let your soul remind you what's really true. xx
The Truth of who we are and how we were created is in One Mind, in the only true reality, love, and that state of being is real and eternal. Everything else is illusion and is preceded by perception. The perfection that holds this all in place, that energy, cannot be changed or destroyed. The power we have is in our choosing Love, the true perception.
Well said!
I feel what you are saying, Tara. But we already have been the ushers for the new reality. And like Wiz said in his response to you, we will be here in soul, maybe not in body, or at least not the body we are currently familiar with. We will recognize each other when the time comes.
Thank you for taking the time to reply, Kathy. It is truly special and I am touched by your sweet words.
Transfixed by your words.
Joining dots. Seeing it all play out in my husband’s life long career. Collapse. Instability. He is gripping. I am trusting for both of us!

Dear one, this is a perfectly acceptable response, and I want to honor everything you wrote. Thank-you for saying it so openly.
I have two responses. First I want to speak to the part of you that wrote it. The part of you that is deeply you in this lifetime, the part that resides in your mind and understands your identity in this body and remembers only your experience within that vessel. That part of you - which understands you have about 80 good years on this earth to make the best of things before it's all over - rightly rails against the notion that most of that time will be spent navigating a collapse.

But now, I'd like to address the larger part of you, the part contained within the vessel - the eternal part of you that remembers far more than just this physical life, but recalls all things from all of time, and was present from the beginning and will be here til the end.

I can feel that there's probably a whole piece to write on this topic....lots more to say....but the thing that jumps out to me here is that we need not assume that what comes next is suffering. What this moment is all about is the collapse of that which is not built in truth and love. It's the fall of that which is false. That which is true will stand firm - only that which is built on the old frequency of fear will crumble. Yes, that does mean that some things we have built our lives around will become diminished, destabilised or destroyed entirely in the coming months and years, but only if it is inherently untrue. In a way, many of us have come to depend on people, relationships, institutions and systems that are ultimately no good for us, almost like we are drug addicts, hooked on something ultimately hurting us. As the drug is taken away, we may scramble to hold on to it through habit and through addiction - and yes, that may be experienced as suffering, but it's the kind of suffering that leads to healing. It's not pointless - it is essential if we truly wish to live. If our lives are built on a foundation of truth and love, then these coming months and years will not feel like suffering - they will feel like coming into alignment. There are people who will walk through this collapse entirely untouched by what's collapsing - it all defends on where our feet are planted, and on which foundations we built our lives. Any suffering we experience is not for the greater good, it is for our own good, forcing us to be uprooted from rotten foundations and replanted in good, healthy soil. Where we feel the discomfort is in the places where we are disconnected from the truth - any time that discomfort rises, it's a clue that we are in a head space more than a heart space, in fear more than in love, and it's a gentle (or not so gentle) invitation to shift our footing. Let us not look at what's ahead as a period of pain, deprivation or suffering - though all of these things may be experienced. Let us look at it as divine course correction - in all the areas where we have been refusing to move we will now feel intense discomfort, because moving to better foundations is now no longer optional, but required, and sometimes, we only move once the pain becomes unbearable. We don't have to wait for the discomfort to move - we can realign at any time, but for many of us we are in the habit of being reactive, and only moving when chased or forced. That's suffering for sure, but we can choose a gentler path by releasing resistance and following the flow of life. I'm not sure I'm saying this as succinctly or clearly as I could - I intend to unpack this more eloquently in future writing - but for now, I just wanted to put this much in writing, that the moment we are walking into does not require us to suffer. It requires us to anchor in truth and love, and the more we do that, the smoother this ride will be. xx
Thank you for clarifying that we will have the choice to realign ourselves to reduce discomfort. I've been bracing myself for what is coming, but you're saying it may not be as bad as I am imagining if I move with the flow.
It is difficult for me to stay out of my head as that is my nature. I am working on going more to my heart space. Meditation is helping.
You've got me on a roll now, but I think we're circling something here that's really important for this moment. You needn't stay out of your head - your mind is not the enemy, it just needs to be powered by the heart. When we lead with the mind, the mind tends to lean into fear - it's part of our human vessel that knows it is finite, so it's automatically designed to protect itself. The hear and the soul know they are eternal and cannot be harmed, so when we anchor in our heart, and allow our deep soul to rise and steer our mind, both things work together in harmony. When the soul powers the mind, that's how we can be in flow. The mind tends to want to dominate, because it's human and it's scared. We have to anchor in the stillness, allow our soul to rise, so that it may steer the mind. I believe this is the only way to navigate what comes next. This is the biggest part of why I'm mildly obsessed with the Resonance Room at the moment, because it takes the words from the Daily Lighthouse and puts them to a musical frequency - the words speak to the mind and the music speaks to the soul. It literally activates both at once, and that's what we need for moving forward. We don't need to turn our mind off, we just need to calm it down and let it be informed by our heart, by our soul. We need both - not one or the other. The mind is not the enemy, it just doesn't know what it's doing without the heart's guidance. It should never be left in charge without the soul's supervision! This is all about restoration of balance - not one or the other, but both working in harmony. xx
What a wonderfully, beautifully, empathetic response. It brought tears to my eyes.
That response was brilliance coming through you. Thank you for being the conduit.
Well shit, you nailed it!
Why, thank you. xx
This essay is brilliant with profound implications! I don’t want to witness more suffering either, but seeing this view at 15,000 feet really helps. Seems like we will have to get good at feeling uncomfortable for awhile. A Brave New World as the saying goes.
Discomfort is just a little hint, a little nudge, that says “lean a little out of fear and more into love”. There will be lots of that this year - we are being forced to move, and it’s not a bad thing. It’s making space for better to bloom. xx
I’m all for less fear and more love!
Ahhh, this makes so much sense. Music always opens my heart and calms my mind. My favorite quote from what you just wrote. "[The mind] should never be left in charge without the soul's supervision ". LOL you should hear what goes on in my mind at times. I will practice keeping them balanced and ensure that my soul keeps my mind from running off willy nilly. Thank you. I love when you're on a roll!!
Not sure how I missed this one, Wiz! Woooweee!!! Onward my friend. Thanks for illuminating the path!
Glad you found it!!!
Thank you as always for this. It's so mind boggling I have to save and reread.
It's a lot to take in. Take your time with it!
Such a beautiful outlook for the future. I’m hopeful. Thank you for this 💖
You’re welcome. Thank-you for reading. xx
‘Expect January to be volatile and loud, but understand why - it’s a pressure test, and what makes the most noise is what’s set to collapse as the months unfold.’
Your words December 29th!
And we are only 3 days in! More to come. But don’t forget, the noise is what’s collapsing. ♥️
This is beautiful and uplifting to me and, I hope to many others who understand deeply what you are saying. Let’s continue to add our love and light to this world to help guide it as it flows. 🩷
Alllll the feels. Grief, joy, hope, peace, determination… Thank you for weaving the stories that help illuminate the path forward.
