Wow "We are not the punishers of the darkness but the light of the world". My new mantra. That one sentence is the key for navigating these crazy times. Thank you once again.
I am so with you there. I love substack and spend a lot of time here. I have felt disturbed by all the calls to investigate and charge and jail all the people doing so many evil things when we finally return to power in the government. How can we think of spending intelligent peoples' time on this when there are so many catastrophes- economic and environmental- that need to be addressed??
Dear Wizard - thank you for your analysis of Larry Summers. He is an architect of immense global suffering. The “structural adjustment” strategy was applied in many American cities as well as worldwide. I hope and pray that - as the planets bring healing in the decades ahead, as you’ve divined - the many countries he helped destroy can regenerate.
As a member of your community, I have a concern - and hope you will explain more about your insights to address my concern: that the emphasis on letting karmic justice bring the fall of Summers and others of his ilk, rather than wish for or seek their legal punishment, can encourage “spiritual bypassing”. For example, such as “letting karma do its job” rather than community action or writing your Congressional representative.
While I agree that some Substack authors are extreme in calling for cruelty against public figures ruining the nation, I also believe these extremes reflect utter frustration with the breakdown of our justice system. In contrast to these times, Senator Carl Levin comes to mind, and how his relentless questioning of Oliver North and others over months of time during the Iran-Contra scandal served to educate the public about the depth of corruption and expose “heroes” as scoundrels. Today, the Epstein files seem to be serving the purpose of this needed exposure.
Either way, my guess is that the cosmic and karmic shifts upon us still require us to “do our part” - which includes those ethical attorneys, judges and representatives in the justice system who seek to hold accountable and “punish” the scoundrels.
Wizard, please clarify: is participation in this justice system - its structures and processes - somehow working against karmic justice? Can’t we be a bridge?
Thank you so much for this, Julianne, not just for the care in your response, but for naming the exact tension people feel in moments like this. You’re absolutely right that calls for cruelty come from deep frustration with the collapse of institutional accountability. Our legal systems were created precisely to guide us out of the old model of settling conflict with our fists, but when those systems fail - when they feel captured, compromised, or indifferent - people naturally feel compelled to take justice back into their own hands.
It’s wise for us as humans to stand up and make clear what behaviours we will and won’t tolerate. That’s how the legal system was formed in the first place, and it’s how it will be reformed in the years ahead. But we also have to ask: what kind of system are we actually trying to build? One that ensures those who cause suffering must suffer in return? Or one that asks how they became so disconnected from their own humanity, and what would be required to bring them back into alignment?
Our current system is built on the primitive belief that punishment deters wrongdoing. It’s not far from how we used to beat misbehaving animals into submission. But we know better than that now. Though their actions may be monstrous, people who harm others are not “monsters” - they’re profoundly disconnected. They’ve slipped so far out of coherence that darkness became familiar. Inflicting more darkness on them does not restore anything. It only dims our own flame and drags us back toward the world we’re trying to leave behind.
When someone has committed unspeakable harm, it’s easy to let our hearts slam shut and wish suffering upon them as if that could balance the scales, but all that does is mirror their closed-heartedness. And the moment we respond with the same energy, we’re back in the world they built - the cold, fear-driven reality that got us here in the first place. If we want to live in the light, we have to remain committed to it, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Yes - action is required to build a heart-centred society, and you may well be someone who feels called to lead that action, but physical action is not the only way change occurs. Most shifts happen energetically long before they appear in material form. We’ve lived in a civilisation obsessed with doing, but the world that’s rising is rooted in feeling - where transformation begins in the heart, moves through the field, and then expresses through human hands.
Allowing karmic momentum to move, allowing energy to flow, is not passivity. Sometimes not forcing something is more powerful than intervening. When action comes from fear - “If I don’t do something right now, everything will collapse” - that’s not heart-led. That’s the old world talking. When we anchor in our heart, tend to our inner light, and wait until our action comes from clarity rather than panic, then the action is clean. It’s effective and aligned.
The shift ahead absolutely requires ethical attorneys, journalists, whistleblowers, investigators, public servants, and ordinary people who refuse to surrender their moral instinct. Karmic justice works through people just as much as it works through timing.
Think of justice as a bridge: one pillar is institutional accountability, one is public action and activism, and one is karmic consequence. We need all three. None of them cancel the others. What actually undermines justice is the belief that punishment equals healing. It never has.
You absolutely can be a bridge - in fact, the world needs bridges more than ever - and if you’re centred in your heart and feel genuinely led to take action, I would encourage you to follow that impulse. But if you’re feeling fearful, worried, panicked, or compelled to act just because those feelings demand it, then it’s wiser to pause and seek stillness first. In moments like this, it’s easy to believe we should sprint into the streets with our hair on fire simply to do SOMETHING - that if we’re not marching, protesting, or raging against the machine, we’re somehow shirking our responsibility. But the real task right now is far simpler and far harder: anchor in the heart, and let whatever comes next arise from there.
What’s dissolving now is the frequency of heartlessness, not the mechanisms of accountability. As the heartbeat of the world returns, the courts, the law, the investigators, and the civic institutions that have been numb for decades will begin to wake back up, but that heartbeat can only return if we tend to it. We don’t help restore it by feeding the very energy that shut the heart off in the first place.
None of this is a call to passivity or bypassing. Bypassing happens when fear prevents us from acting, so we retreat into spirit. I’m suggesting the opposite: anchor in spirit, anchor in the heart, and then act - from coherence, not panic; from clarity, not rage; from light, not retribution. Stay aligned while the world convulses. Stay engaged without becoming what you’re confronting. Keep our hearts open even as the structures built without one fall.
Your concern isn’t a contradiction - it’s the balance we are all learning to hold, and I’m grateful you named it. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and contribution to this conversation. How does that land for you?
Hello again, Wizard - and thank you very much for your inspired response. I appreciate you clarifying what it means to act from being heart-centered first. As you likely know, the word “courage” is from the French “coeur”, which means heart. You have done amazing work illustrating the cosmic changes upon us now and in the decades ahead. May we all have courage to do our part as our hearts guide us.
Julianne, you’ve done it again - this is like the best game of tennis where I lob the ball your way and then you lob it back, little gems of wisdom flying back and forth, building the understanding. What you’ve offered here is so powerful! Yes, “courage” is borne from the French word “coeur” which suggest “courage” doesn’t mean be brave like a warrior but rather to act from your heart. Drop out of the noise, return to the deepest part of you, and move from there. Anchor in your heart, and then act. That’s why courage feels different from adrenaline. Adrenaline is “oh god, do something.” Courage is “I know who I am, and here’s what I choose.” So in that way, yes, may we all move forward with courage! xxx
Honestly my first reaction was “I don’t know if I can not wish for cruelty to go unpunished.” But after some soul searching and especially after reading this latest Letter from 2125 I totally get it, I get the absolute necessity of it. Thank you for sharing the light ❤️✨✨
This nails the part everyone keeps dodging: Summers isn’t just a “fallen technocrat,” he is the house brand for an entire religion of extraction that treated human suffering as an acceptable side effect of efficiency.
What I love here is how you frame it as a frequency shift, not just a scandal. When the heart finally comes back online, the men who built their empires on being heartless are not “taken down by cancel culture.” They just cannot function in the new atmosphere.
Wow, thank you. I especially a grateful for the call to rise above the spectacular. I think that is so important and hadn't realized how I've slipped. Yes, Karna will sort this out better than the courts ever could. Thank you for pulling me back into that place of trust.
Thanks so much for this information.I knew it was so rotten when the banks were bailed and and mainstream was sold out .I always felt that after 2008 was the reason homelessness skyrocket and also was largest transfer of wealth in history before Trump.
Summers also worked as an economist under Reagan in the early 80s. I recall seeing footage of Reagan on a dais, stepping backwards to listen to something Larry Summers whispered into his ear before Ronnie stepped back to the mike to continue. Ugh.
After reading your last two paragraphs all I could think of was these two songs. I’m not sure why they came to mind so strongly. I think they sing both the pain of the moment and the goodness and hope.
