So. Much. Typing. I also reconfigured my desk this week so I can stand when I write (they say chronic sitting is the new smoking) so I have tired fingers AND tired legs but I don’t mind because I’ve been trying to put all this into words for a few months now! Glad to have it out of me!!

Thank you so much for this writing. Tracing the timeline of how it began, how it’s going, and how things are evolving has helped me to see my personal trajectory since 2007 in a new light. I look forward to your posts each week because they provide a rationale in the face of so much that is irrational and disheartening. One note, under Myopia of Madness, you wrote “The fever reached its peak on January 6, 2020”. I believe that it was 2021 in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

Thank-you for catching that - I was going cross-eyed by the time I wrote that section! This one was big!! I’ve fixed it up now!!

Wiz, you have truly outdone yourself with this one! I’m flabbergasted by the truth of how the track of Neptune from Aquarius, through Pisces heading into Aries has played out. It explains SO MUCH of the “How in the actual f*** did we get here?!” that I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around for years. Thank you for tracking the hard pulls and rise in illusion on both the left and the right. It shows clearly why I’ve felt so politically and ideologically homeless. It’s hard to be an idealistic centrist in a world of extremes. I’m not going to lie, I’m both nervous and cautiously optimistic about what to expect in the coming months, especially after February’s Genesis portal. I’ve consulted my own cards and done some pendulum dowsing which agreed that things will get rocky but that we (my family) will be relatively ok. I’m currently grounding deep in truth and love and preparing my household to weather the coming storms. Thank you for your research and analysis. It is greatly appreciated!!

Yes, this next stretch will be a bit wild, but if we are anchored in truth, in love, in our hearts, the journey will feel grounded amidst the turbulence. There is no quick fix here - we are walking into a decade of disruption, but it leads to deliverance. Safety won’t be where we once thought it was - it now lives within, in our hearts, in the frequency of truth, and we must tune to it. Glad to be on this journey with you. Thank-you for reading. xx

Whew! I so appreciate the historical review... fascinating! I can't imagine how long it took to write this, you MUST be exhausted. I appreciate your perspective, expertise, and kind caring as you unpack all this chaos for us. I can't tell you how much your work supports and encourages me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊 💙

Sir. This may be the most EPIC piece I’ve ever read on Substack. And I’m not even done reading it yet! I have to take a break and go make some coffee. ☕️

I have said before how much I appreciate your words at this difficult time. But also kudos to whoever does your illustrations. They are just perfect for our times when everything comes at us all at once. Thanks for the whole package.

Thank-you for the kind words. The images are a testament to the wizardry of AI, which I know a lot of people are wary of, but the tools now allow a writer like me to describe in detail what I see in my head and bring it to life on the page with ease. I know many people read imagery better than words, and I’m grateful that we live at a time when it’s possible for me to provide both so this signal can be sent clearly to all. xx

Thank you so much, Wizard - wonderful vision! I am so relieved to understand how Neptune in Pisces created such fog and delusion on both sides. Very helpful. And your integration of this glorious comet with humanity’s wake up call as Saturn and Neptune enter Aries is thrilling! What an exciting time!

You said “We chose to stand at this threshold - to be the bridge between worlds.” Yes!!

Towards that end I have written a series of essays to help us reclaim our kindness and compassion towards one another:

Thank you for this powerful, indepth analysis. I admit I dozed off a few times while reading (I believe my system needed recharging) but your words are a balm to my soul. I can state unequivocally I choose the music, my heart is opening, and my feet are ready to dance. TY ✨️

This is a masterpiece of blood, sweat, tears, and a whole lotta Heart Wiz! This work is the water on the seeds of a life affirming age! I felt the whole beautiful writing in the best way!

So much to highlight! This one really stood out:(for some) “this collapse won’t feel like collapse at all.

It will feel like justice.

It will feel like deliverance.

It will feel like the world finally coming into tune,

with a music you can’t help but dance to.”

I am not going to delude myself into thinking I have no changes to make. I can’t live in a sewer and come out smelling sweet. I do, however, feel so much impending relief. I felt what you write about manifesting this week. I did smile and I tip my hat.

Thank you so much Wiz! 🙏

Oh Ben, you won the day with "I can’t live in a sewer and come out smelling sweet." I might have to borrow that one. I think it sums up perfectly exactly what humanity is going through right now. So many are suddenly realising where they've had their feet planted all these years, and suddenly the stench is unbearable. It's a lot to realise, a lot to hold, but also the path to freedom. What a time to be alive. As always, thanks for reading and for being here. xx

This is such an insightful timeline and it may be that I’m so Intrenched in my algorithms but you loose me when you seem to say the actions on the left are equal to the right. Make America Great Again and project 2025 is a radical dismantling of hard won rights and protections. I don’t see that on the same scale as the left adding pronouns to signatures or being “woke” about equality and access to healthcare. If is seems like moral superiority maybe because it is morally superior. Maybe the mistake is seeing this divide along party lines. I often wonder what world we would be living in if Bernie was able to run. Thank you for your work. Just my 2cents.

I knew I was wandering into tricky territory, but I was careful not to say that any action was equal to another, only that people from all walks of life pulled into the extremes of their ideals. The consequences of that played out differently on each issue, all part of the same Piscean fog. And as that fog begins to lift, already we can see some people on all sides stepping back from the extremes, finding ways back towards common ground.

There have been times in my life where I was called to walk in a fiction for an agenda. I couldn’t do it and stood up for truth. It was very awkward and lonely. I felt I was the only one who would not compromise truth, even a little bit. People who recognized what I was doing just acknowledged my stance and went down their own paths. I knew at those times that I was giving up things that other people would fight for, but it made no difference to me. I couldn’t be false and try to move against who I am. I often wondered what the difference between me and the others was.

To know that I will never have to face another one of those “standing for truth” instances feels unbelievably good and right. I am SO very grateful to be able, through you, to understand all of this and to understand what is happening as it happens. 🤗

Oh Mary, this really spoke to me. You get it. I suspect that what comes next is not immediately that nobody will be asked to entertain falsehood anymore. I anticipate we will live through a period where people will carry on trying to entertain falsehoods but the frequency will not be able to hold it as before, and it will be ineffective, and that in itself will create a chaos. It will take time for humanity to learn that there is nothing meaningful down that road anymore. It will take time to adjust, and the adjustment will be rough, especially for those who are used to accepting falseness for comfortability. It will be an interesting few years ahead, but in the end, it will be the making of us. Keep anchoring in truth and love as you have - this lights the way for us all. xx
