Farren</sup></a><sup> from Pexels</sup></em></p><p>There&#8217;s a moment when a thought arrives seemingly out of nowhere. Carrying so much light &amp; aliveness that it nearly bowls you over.</p><p><em>What if my life could look completely different?</em></p><p>And then, almost as quickly, the practical mind steps in, dampening the LIGHT of your in-spirit-ation. What about the bills? The timing? Your age? The people who may not understand?</p><p>And just like that, the spark disappears.  Gone. </p><p>I don&#8217;t believe these sparkly moments are random flickers of imagination. I believe they are sacred connections with a field of intelligence that is <em>already seeking you.</em></p><h3>What if you are not the only one searching?</h3><p>We have been taught to think of the future as something waiting far ahead of us. Somewhere in the distance, tapping its foot, waiting for us to heal everything, become disciplined, have all our ducks lined up until we finally <em>arrive.</em></p><p><em>But what if that isn&#8217;t how it works at all?</em></p><p><em>What if your future is already moving towards you?</em></p><p>Perhaps it&#8217;s searching for quiet moments when it can slip beneath your noisy self-talk. A sweet synchronicity or an exquisitely timed nudge that moves you deeply.</p><p>I love this possibility because it changes the energy of our becoming. We are no longer chasing something that keeps running away from us. We are entering into relationship with something that already recognises us.</p><h3>Your future is a stream of possibility</h3><p>Future potentials exist in multi-dimensional states in every moment. Each is a stream with its own frequency, experiences, relationships, choices and rhythms of daily life.</p><p>Some streams are deeply familiar. They are shaped by the thoughts we repeat, the emotions our bodies know how to feel, and the choices that confirm who we believe ourselves to be.</p><p>Even when a stream no longer nourishes us, it can still feel strangely comforting. The familiar can be quite evocative indeed. It tells us that repeating the past is sensible. That the unknown is suspicious. That we should wait until we feel completely ready and can guarantee an outcome with no uncertainty or awkwardness.</p><p>And yet, another stream, many streams, are flowing right beside you.</p><p>You feel it in your longings. You glimpse it in your imagination. You recognise it in the sudden rush of aliveness that moves through you when you touch something true.</p><p>Your future self is not a more impressive stranger you must turn yourself into. She is an illuminated possibility of who you already are, calling you into coherence with what your Soul has always known.</p><h3>Quantum Shivers</h3><p>Before a new future stream becomes visible, there are glimmers of its potential ever present. A shiver up the spine. A random sense of d&#233;j&#224; vu. It can be anything that brings you alive, and quite often unexpectedly.</p><p>I call these <em>Quantum Shivers.</em></p><p>They are the sensory language of possibility. Small movements of energy that arise when your body brushes against a future carrying resonance for you.</p><p>Sometimes the signal is joyful and expansive. Sometimes it is tender and brings you to tears. Sometimes it arrives as an inexplicable knowing that something is complete, even though the practical mind would prefer to have things all mapped out first before proceeding.</p><p>These moments are easily dismissed. The sign seems too small. The timing feels inconvenient. The possibility appears unlikely.</p><p><em>Why me?</em></p><p>Yet the future rarely arrives with a marching band and a certified letter from the Universe. It whispers first. The question is whether we are present enough to hear it.</p><h3>Magnetism begins with presence</h3><p>We often imagine that becoming magnetic means holding a high vibration every waking minute. That we must be endlessly positive, spiritually immaculate and entirely free from tears, impatience or frustration when things appear to go awry.</p><p><em>Magnetism is not a performance.<br>Magnetism begins with presence.</em></p><p>We cannot consciously choose another stream while remaining unaware of the one currently carrying us. What thoughts have become so habitual they now sound like truth? What feelings does your body return to because they are known? What choices reinforce an identity you may have already outgrown?</p><p>Perhaps you expect disappointment, so you protect yourself by wanting less. Perhaps you long to be seen but hide the most luminous parts of yourself for fear of embarrassment. Perhaps you ache for support while insisting on carrying everything alone.</p><p>The identity that created these patterns is not your enemy. She formed through experiences that taught you what safety, belonging and Love seemed to require. She has worked hard on your behalf.</p><p>We can thank her tenderly without asking her to lead the next chapter. Becoming is not a betrayal of your past. <em>It is an honouring of your future.</em></p><h3>From Quantum Shivers to Quantum Streams</h3><p>As you become more present, the signals begin to gather. A scattering of Quantum Shivers slowly reveals a pattern.</p><p>You notice which conversations leave you expanded. Which ideas keep returning. Which places awaken something ancient within you. Which possibilities bring a quiet, grounded and unmistakable <em>yes.</em></p><p>This is how you begin to perceive the Quantum Streams moving around you.</p><p>Not every stream is yours to follow. Some are dazzling but depleting. Some flatter the ego while asking the Soul to become smaller. Some are beautiful possibilities, simply not yours.</p><p>The stream that belongs to you carries coherence.</p><p>It may stretch you. It may ask for courage, honesty and a willingness to be seen differently. Yet beneath the nervousness there is aliveness. Recognition. A sense that something within you has been waiting a very long time for this.</p><p>The Heart knows the difference between the fear that says, <em>this is not for me,</em> and the trembling that says, <em>this matters deeply.</em></p><p>Then comes the choice point.</p><p>Usually it isn&#8217;t one enormous cinematic leap. It is a series of small, loving actions that make the future real in the now.</p><p>Send the email. Speak the truth. Write the first page. Accept the invitation. Release what no longer belongs. Allow yourself to be supported.</p><p>Each aligned action tells Life:  <em>I recognise this stream. I am willing to meet it.</em></p><h3>Why this is happening now</h3><p>I don&#8217;t believe it is an accident that so many of us are feeling this restless, luminous stirring at the same time.</p><p>We are moving through a great Galactic turning. Earth is completing a 225-million-year journey around the Galactic Centre, and waves of Galactic Love are washing through her field, her crystalline Heart and through us.</p><p>As Earth&#8217;s field shifts, movement between streams becomes lighter. What once required decades can now move through us within a season. The membrane between the life you are living and the life your Soul recognises is becoming thinner and more permeable.</p><p>This is why your longing feels so loud. Why the old life is creaking. Why something within you keeps whispering, <em>there is more.</em></p><p><em>You are not imagining it.<br>You are right on time.</em></p><h3>You become the invitation</h3><p>Magnetism is not about convincing the Universe to give us what we want. It is about becoming coherent with what is already seeking expression through us.</p><p>When our intentions say one thing, our inner dialogue says another and our choices say something else entirely, the signal scatters. We long for expansion while rehearsing limitation. We ask for Love whilst berating ourselves. We call in a new beginning whilst devoting our energy to keeping the old identity comfortable.</p><p>As we align our thoughts, feelings and choices with the future we sense, we begin to embody it NOW. Our language shifts. Our boundaries strengthen. We become available for new choices, people and possibilities.</p><p>This is the Quantum Jump. The future is no longer something we desire. It becomes who we are willing to be.</p><p><em>And as we change, Life responds.<br>We become magnetic to the stream already seeking us.<br>We become the invitation.</em></p><h3>The future is seeking the real you</h3><p>The future looking for you is not searching for a perfected version of you. It is looking for the <em>real </em>you.</p><p>The one beneath the performing, pleasing and carefully rehearsed reasons to wait. The one whose gifts may still feel tender and unproven. The one who senses there is a more beautiful way to live, Love, create and contribute.</p><p>You don&#8217;t need to know every step. You need enough presence to notice the next signal. Enough trust to follow the next honest yes. Enough self-Love to release what can no longer travel with you.</p><p>Perhaps the longing in your Heart is not evidence that something is missing. Perhaps it is recognition. A future possibility brushing against your awareness and whispering:</p><p><em>I know you. I have been looking for you too.</em></p><p>Listen for the Quantum Shivers. Notice the Quantum Streams gathering around you. Make one small choice that magnetises you towards the life welcoming you.</p><p>Then leave a little room for Life to surprise you.</p><p>It may already be on its way &#10024;</p><p>* * * * * * * * *

Becoming</a></strong><span>.</span></p><p>The key to the wisdom is: <em><strong>The Heart Remembers</strong></em></p><p>Reminding us that we are LOVE remembering itself.</p><p>It remembers the truth of you before you learned to become smaller. Before you were taught to seek approval outside yourself. Before you learned to silence your intuition, mistrust your sensitivity, or measure your worth through the expectations of others.</p><p>For so long, we have been taught to think of the heart primarily as a pump, an extraordinary biological organ that circulates blood and sustains the physical body. Yet the Heart is so much more than this.  It is an intelligent sensory organ of flow, an energetic communicator, and a powerful centre of perception through which we connect with ourselves, each other, Mother Earth, and the Cosmos.</p><p>The Heart generates an electromagnetic field that extends beyond the physical body. This field moves outward, from the Heart, and returns inward, to the Heart, in a continuous toroidal flow, creating a living sphere of communication around us.</p><div

Earth&#8217;s consciousness. It is the place of primordial unity, where matter, energy, consciousness, and Divine Intelligence are held within their most foundational expression. </p><p>The Heart of Earth is the central point of coherence. Her foundational pulse. The still point from which her toric field arises and the place to which its currents continually return.  </p><p>And from the Earth Heart, Earth&#8217;s intelligence is transmitted throughout her entire body. It moves through her crystalline grids, mineral kingdoms, leylines, waters, mountains, sacred sites, plants, animals, and every living being who is part of her planetary field.</p><p><strong>The Galactic Heart</strong>&#8212; The 8th Dimensional Galactic Heart is the great potential field of our Galaxy. It holds the highest intelligent template for the evolution and expression of every form of Life within the Milky Way. Within the great Galactic Heart exists the Divine blueprint for the stars, planets, solar systems, species, civilisations, and countless expressions of consciousness that form our Galactic family. </p><p>It holds the greatest possible expression of what each lifeform may become.</p><p>This includes the intelligent template for our own Solar System, for the Sun, for Mother Earth, and for humanity. It contains not a fixed destiny, but the highest field of potential available to every being and every celestial body within the Galaxy.</p><p><strong>The Three Hearts</strong>&#8212; Our Heart&#8217;s toric field exists within Earth&#8217;s toric field, and Earth&#8217;s toric field exists within the greater Galactic Torus. We are Hearts within Hearts. Fields within fields. Consciousness breathing within Consciousness.</p><p>When we are living through fear, stress, and separation, the rhythms of our Heart become disordered, incoherent, making it more difficult for us to feel, receive, and consciously participate with the field.</p><p>Yet as we release fear and return to Love, gratitude, presence, and coherence, the Heart remembers its original rhythm.</p><p>Our Heart beats and breathes in coherence with Earth&#8217;s Heart.  And Earth&#8217;s Heart beats and breathes in coherence with the Galactic Heart. The intelligence held within the 8D Galactic Heart flows through ID Earth Heart, and rises into embodied expression through us, through our Heart.</p><p>The Cosmic Heart holds the highest template.</p><p>The Earth Heart anchors it into form.</p><p>The Human Heart receives, embodies, and expresses it through life.</p><p>The Human Heart is the bridge between the crystalline depths of Mother Earth and the infinite potential of the Cosmic Heart. Through our Heart, the highest intelligence of the Galaxy can be received, grounded, and given expression within the physical world.</p><p>We are not merely receiving the future of Creation. Through the coherence of our Hearts, <strong>we are participating in its Becoming.</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/the-12-codes-of-becoming">12 Codes of Becoming</a></strong>, the wisdom of the <strong>Heart is held within</strong> <strong>Code 5</strong>.</p><p><strong>Code 5 is the Law of Love</strong>. It is anchored through the Heart Chakra and carried through the living Galactic Wave of: <strong>I AM Divine Love.</strong></p><p>This is not Love as sentiment, attachment, or something we must receive from another in order to feel whole. It is Love as a living Cosmic Intelligence.  The great great organising principle of Creation.</p><p>The force that draws separate things back into relationship. The thread that connects the cells of the body to one another, that connects a community, that connects humanity to this Earth, and connects our own small daily consciousness to the greater Galactic Heart it came from.</p><p>To embody Code 5 is not to become a softer, more agreeable version of ourselves. It asks something more honest than that. It asks us to notice where the Heart quietly closed, long ago, in order to feel safe, and attempt to escape judgement. Where old pain became a wall. Where we set aside our truth to preserve our belonging, because truth felt like too great a risk.</p><p>To awaken Code 5 is to remember that this Love is not somewhere outside us.</p><p>It is who we are.</p><h3><strong>The Invitation</strong></h3><p>The opening of the Heart is not only a personal awakening. It is a planetary one. </p><p>As we come home to our own authentic field, the coherence of our Heart, we naturally begin to remember our relationship to everything around us. The tree is no longer merely scenery. The ocean is no longer simply a resource. The Earth is no longer something beneath our feet, but something we are in living and intelligent conversation with.</p><p>Nature has been showing us this toroidal wisdom all along, patiently, whether we noticed or not. The breath moves out, and returns. The tides advance, and retreat. The seasons open, and close, and open again. Nothing in the natural world exists in isolation. Neither do we.</p><p>Every time we choose coherence over chaos, connection over self-protection, we are not only shifting something within ourselves.

transforming the electro-magnetic energy of Earth&#8217;s Toric Field.</p><p>I call them the <strong>12 Codes of Becoming.  </strong>Codes for our becoming. Our becoming Cosmic Humans. Divine Humans. Multidimensional beings finally coming fully online.</p><p>These twelve rays have always existed within the Earth. What&#8217;s different now is that they are being activated and awakened to a far higher frequency, one Code at a time, as the Sun moves through each of the twelve signs of the zodiac. </p><p>And then, in January, something happened that made me nearly fall off my chair. I was listening to an interview with <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWW7V6n9dL0">Dr David Clements</a></strong>, and he was describing something he calls the twelve membranes. Layers waking up within the Earth, like Russian dolls, one nested inside the other, all of them beginning to stir.</p><p>He was describing my Codes. Almost sphere for sphere. He was seeing it as membranes. I was seeing it as rays (which I call &#8216;Codes&#8217;). Wave or particle, gorgeous. Same truth, different lens.</p><p>That&#8217;s the moment the penny properly dropped. Because when two people, unconnected, channelling through completely different doors, arrive at the same room... that&#8217;s not coincidence. That&#8217;s confirmation!</p><p>That&#8217;s the thing I also truly love above this awakening era we&#8217;re in. The information isn&#8217;t coming through just one person. It&#8217;s coming through many of us at once, in our own languages, our own symbols, because this shift belongs to all of us, not to any single messenger.</p><h3>Where These Codes Coming From?</h3><p>These Codes are coming from the very centre of our galaxy. The <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2015/08/the-13-dimensions-metatron-ancient-lemuria/">8th Dimension</a></strong>, home of the <strong>Galactic Federation</strong>, the stewards not just of Earth but of every solar system within this galaxy. </p><p>The Galactic Federation have been guiding our evolution through what I call <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2017/06/the-wave-of-love/">Waves of Love</a></strong> since the Harmonic Convergence of 1987.</p><p>But in March this year, something changed. These Waves of Love from the Galactic Centre stepped up in frequency in a way they never have before. A new frequency of Love Waves began arriving. <br><br>12 waves. <br>12 amplified frequencies. <br>12 Codes. <br><br>Together they form what I call <strong><a

Inner-Earth Beings</strong>, whom reside within the crystalline matrix of our planet, whom are doing the anchoring. They&#8217;re the ones rippling these codes out through the Earth&#8217;s leylines, her portals, her toric field.</p><p>I work with the <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2015/08/ancient-lemuria-crystal-healing/">Lemurian Inner-Earth Beings</a></strong> often. Tall. Shimmery blue. So much love in their presence that it feels like coming home, like being held by someone who has always, always known you. When they gather, I feel a word rise in me before I even ask for it: Grace.</p><p>This whole thing, humanity&#8217;s awakening, isn&#8217;t happening to us from some far-off place. It&#8217;s happening through us, from the very core of the ground we walk on, guided by beings who have never left.</p><h3>What Are the 12 Codes, Exactly?</h3><p>Think of them as twelve initiations. Twelve rungs on a spiral staircase we&#8217;re all climbing together, whether we know it or not, because free will means we get to choose <em>how consciously</em> we climb.</p><p>Each Code corresponds to one of our twelve energy centres, one house of the zodiac, and comes online as the Sun moves through that sign. Code 1 arrived with Aries in March. And it doesn&#8217;t stop when the Sun moves on, each Code keeps amplifying as a new Code is activated.</p><p><strong>Code 1</strong> is piezoelectric ignition at your Earth Star. It&#8217;s the spark. The wisdom of the Earth&#8217;s field, billions of years deep, switching on inside you.</p><p><strong>Code 2</strong> moves that light up through your fascia, your body&#8217;s own fibre-optic network, until you begin to feel yourself as a map of the stars, not separate from creation, but a living hologram of it.</p><p><strong>Code 3</strong> is the sacral awakening. The magick, the synchronicity, the becoming magnetic to what is already seeking you. This is where you stop chasing and start attracting.</p><p>And on it goes, Code by Code, all the way up through the heart, the throat, the crown, our 5D Soul Star and beyond.  Each Code is paving the way for what I call your Cosmic Diamond to switch on. </p><p>Your Three Hearts of Creation align. A Quantum Jump into a version of yourself you know in your Heart, an enlivened <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/spaces/22890047/about">Quantum Stream</a></strong> of your potential.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/spaces/22890047/about"

new Code is activated.  But (and this is important) you are never limited to working with a Code only in its &#8220;official&#8221; month. These frequencies are always available. The month just tells you where the spotlight is on.  When the Code activation happens.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t a one-and-done thing either. </p><p>Once all 12 Codes have been embodied, the process doesn&#8217;t end. It begins again, spiralling upward, each year taking us to a higher octave of frequency of each of the 12 Codes, as we edge closer to the Golden Conjunction of 2040. We&#8217;re not walking a straight line into this new era. We&#8217;re walking a spiral, and every loop takes us higher.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Multidimensional beings capable of things that sound like science fiction until you&#8217;ve felt them happen in your own body: heightened intuition, precognition, telepathy, light language, a completely different relationship with time and space. </p><p>Not because we&#8217;re becoming something other than human, but because we&#8217;re finally becoming <em>fully</em> human, <em><strong>radiantly</strong></em><strong> human</strong>, the version of us that was always encoded, just waiting for the frequency to rise high enough to switch it on.</p><p>The 12 Codes aren&#8217;t intellectual downloads. They call to be embodied, slowly, tenderly, one Code at a time, with the heart leading. That&#8217;s the whole point of working with them consciously rather than just being showered in frequency and hoping for the best.</p><p></p><h3>How Do We Embody the Codes?</h3><p>Anyone can do this. It is what you are here for on Earth at this time.  But you have free will &amp; choice in your embodiment of the Codes.</p><p>It&#8217;s about receiving, not forcing. </p><p>Inviting the Inner-Earth Beings to help guide and support the process.</p><p>It&#8217;s about making the choice to become <em>radiantly</em> human.</p><p>When each Code is activated, you start by going quiet. You breathe until your breath and your heart&#8217;s breath become one. Then you drop your awareness down your Hara line, into your Earth Star, and you invite the Inner-Earth Beings to gather and support the anchoring of your Earth Star into Earth&#8217;s Crystalline Core.</p><p>This is about bringing the energy up from the Crystalline Core of the Earth, through your Earth Star, and then into whichever centre that month&#8217;s Code activates within you.

Waves of Love, Inner-Earth Beings, 12 Codes. I&#8217;ve made peace, a long time ago, with the fact that not everyone will feel called to this language, and that&#8217;s completely alright. </p><p>You don&#8217;t need to believe a single word of it for it to still be true, and you don&#8217;t need my words at all to <strong>feel your own becoming</strong> happening in your own body, in your own time.</p><p>But if something in you stirred while you read this, if some part of you went quiet and still the way I did in January, then I think you already know why you&#8217;re here, reading this, right now.</p><p>You&#8217;re not late to this. There&#8217;s no such thing. You&#8217;re exactly on time.</p><p>Each month, inside our Flourish community, I hold a <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/spaces/7326973/about">LIVE Lemurian Circle</a></strong> where we go deep into that month&#8217;s Code together. We reflect on where we&#8217;ve been, we receive a transmission for the Code coming online, and we do a guided embodiment practice to help anchor the Code within you, not as a concept, but as a felt experience within your field.</p><p>It&#8217;s slow work. <br>Sacred work. <br><br>The kind you can&#8217;t rush, and honestly, wouldn&#8217;t want to. </p><p>We&#8217;re building a rhythm together, a whole community of us, spiralling up through these 12 Codes, and I cannot tell you what it means to witness the evolution.</p><p>Within our Lemurian Circles, I am also working with my range of vibrational essences, the <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/product/essences/the-essence-of-angels-boxed-set/">Essence of Angels&#174;</a></strong>. Each vibrational essence within the range corresponds to one of the 12 Codes&#8230; because sometimes we need a little vibrational hand-hold whilst me make the BIG shifts!</p><p>If this is calling

Cancer (trust me, it really was a tiny sliver), with Jupiter in Cancer glowing above her. Venus in Cancer burning soft and steady to the lower-left. Three celestial bodies, holding their own light in the dark. I stood there a long time. A really long time.  This holy trinity in Cancer, the sign of emotional depth, intuition, and the sacred feminine, had me mesmerised.</em></p><p>Since my last post a couple of weeks ago <strong><a href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/the-space-she-left">The Space She Left</a></strong>, I have been ruminating on something that has been a guiding light to me.  <strong>Joy never actually leaves.  </strong>Grief may move in, but Joy doesn&#8217;t move out.  Ever.</p><p>I know.  I know that may sound a bit like a bumper sticker.  Stick with me.<br></p><h3>The Drafts We Keep</h3><p>This week I read words by Tessa Lena from<strong> <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Tessa Fights Robots&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:10350,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;pub&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.substack.com/pub/tessa&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/39270a92-ab0e-481d-be18-5c9e6b7cd7b1_512x512.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;a72f9eeb-6319-4aea-86c7-d758b359143e&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span></strong>, who also just lost her mother. She wrote:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I will be finishing the articles that I started when she was alive. I remember how I started those drafts planning to finish them when she feels better, and now she has gone home.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>I had to stop reading.</p><p>Because I have those drafts too. Half-written things. Projects started in a world that still had Mum in it. And there&#8217;s a particular grief in that, isn&#8217;t there? </p><p>The cursor still blinks. The words still come. Life just keeps going with the breathtaking indifference, and somehow you have to keep writing into it.</p><p>But here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been thinking about. Tessa is (or will) finish those articles. I am writing this one. We&#8217;re both still here, still showing up. And I think that says a lot. The joy that animated those drafts &amp; dreams never leaves.</p><p>It&#8217;s alive.  It&#8217;s alive in all of us.<br></p><h3>Okay, Let&#8217;s Talk About the World for a Minute</h3><p>I want to zoom out, because the world is a lot at the moment.  </p><p>We are living through a genuinely discombobulating moment in history. And I don&#8217;t say that lightly or for dramatic effect. I mean the pace of change right now is unlike anything most of us have experienced in our lifetimes. I don&#8217;t feel I am alone in feeling this. And underneath all of it, I think what a lot of people are actually feeling is grief. Collective, disorienting, &#8220;I can&#8217;t quite name it but my chest feels heavy&#8221; grief.</p><p>We are grieving human connection as something artificial is attempting to reshape how we create and relate to each other. We&#8217;re watching the meaning of things foundational to our humanity get contested and rewritten in real time. </p><p>Women like <strong><a href="https://x.com/salltweets">Sall Grover</a></strong> are standing in the full force of this storm, refusing to let their very existence be redefined out from under them, and that too is a grief story, the grief of watching bedrock become contested ground.</p><p>There are a zillion other crazy things happening too.  <br>But I know you know them.  <br>We are living it.</p><p>I am also not here to tell you what to think about any of it. Genuinely. I prefer more of a Buckminster Fuller approach through obsolescence. </p><p>But I am here to name what I see underneath all of it. <br>Real, legitimate, agonisingly painful.<br>Collective Grief. </p><p>And yet, what I have come to understand over the years is that Grief and Joy are not opposites. They are companions.</p><p>In spiritual traditions, grief itself is understood as evidence of love. And where love exists, joy has to be present.  It&#8217;s the physics :)</p><p>Poet Kahlil Gibran wrote in The Prophet:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>Grief enlarges the heart. It changes us. It strips away illusion and reveals what is most sacred, precious, and real. Over time, joy through grief begins to feel different&#8230; less superficial, more embodied, more reverent. Quieter. Deeper. Truer. </p><p>So what is Joy?<br></p><h3>Joy is Not the Same as Happiness (This Matters)</h3><p>Joy is not happiness. </p><p>Happiness is circumstantial. Happiness is... things are going well, the sun is out, the coffee is good, there is one piece of chocolate with your name on it, or you haven&#8217;t made the mistake of watching the MSM today. And look, I love happiness. I am fully in favour of happiness. But happiness depends on conditions.</p><p>Joy is different. Joy is more like a signal that keeps transmitting even when the reception is terrible. It&#8217;s the underlying hum of aliveness itself. The breath of the Divine. It&#8217;s Grace. It gets buried sometimes. It goes very, very quiet. But it doesn&#8217;t switch off, disappear, or leave you. It&#8217;s eternal.</p><p>When I find Mum in the dew on the <strong><a href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/the-space-she-left">She Oaks at the beach</a></strong>... that&#8217;s not happiness. It hurts, actually. It&#8217;s aching and wild and fierce. But it&#8217;s also unmistakably Joy. The same frequency that was both within and between us when she was alive, wearing a different shape now.</p><p>And when Tessa opens one of those unfinished drafts and writes the next sentence? Joy. The hard kind. The kind that keeps going anyway. Eternal. Luminous. Pure.</p><p><strong>But Here&#8217;s Where it Gets Interesting: Love and Joy Are Not the Same Thing Either</strong></p><p>They are deeply connected. But they are not the same experience.</p><p>Love as humans define it is relational. Joy is existential.</p><p>Love is the energy of connection, the heart moving toward someone or something. It involves devotion, tenderness, care, union. It can be fierce or gentle, romantic or maternal, spiritual or achingly human. </p><p>Joy is different. Joy is a state of being. The felt experience of aliveness itself.</p><p>You can feel joy watching light move across the ocean. Hearing a piece of music that undoes you. Sitting in silence so complete it almost has a sound. Nothing &#8220;caused&#8221; it in the ordinary sense. Joy arises when we feel connected to life itself, not to any particular thing within it.</p><p>Love says: <em>I cherish this.</em> <br>Joy says: <em>I am alive within this moment.</em></p><p>One of the most beautiful paradoxes is that love can also bring grief. The more deeply we love, the more deeply we may mourn. But Joy still remains underneath all of it, because Joy doesn&#8217;t depend on everything staying the same. </p><p>Another way of saying this is&#8230; <br><br>Love is the frequency of unity. <br>Joy is the natural resonance that arises when we are aligned with that unity.</p><p>Love is the river. <br>Joy is the shimmering vitality flowing through the water.</p><p>Love is the heart opening. <br>Joy is the light that enters through the opening.<br></p><h3>The Bit About Quantum Leaps (Bear With Me)</h3><p>I am jumping across topics here, but trust me.  They are all related.</p><p>I hope you are not rolling your eyes as I mention our &#8216;<em>quantum leap into a new earth</em>&#8217;.  It feels like an overused phrased of late. I get it. Yet I also feel it&#8217;s actually the most accurate description of what&#8217;s happening.  So maybe the overuse is simply the critical mass of people feeling it?</p><p>In quantum physics, a quantum jump isn&#8217;t gradual. It&#8217;s not a slow slide from one state to another. It&#8217;s a discontinuous leap, sudden and irreversible, into an entirely new level of organisation. You cannot understand the new state from within the old one. You have to jump first and understand later.</p><p>Life on this planet has done it many times before.  Major evolutionary transitions. Single cell to multi-cellular is a prime example of a quantum phenomena in biology. </p><p>That&#8217;s where we are. Individually and collectively. Mid-jump.</p><p><strong>The grief is part of the jump, not an obstacle to it. </strong>The willingness to actually feel what we need to let go of, to not perform okayness, to let it genuinely crack you open, that&#8217;s the mechanism. That&#8217;s what creates the new.</p><p>This is what grief does when you let it be a teacher. It strips away everything that was never really yours to begin with. The inherited stuff. The performed stuff. The &#8220;I&#8217;m fine&#8221; stuff. And from that stripped-back, bedrock place, something new actually has room to emerge.</p><p>I&#8217;m seeing it everywhere right now. In the people who are grieving honestly. Who aren&#8217;t bypassing. Who are holding their personal losses and the collective losses and saying, out loud: this is hard, and I am still here, and I am paying attention. <br></p><h3>One Last Thing</h3><p>Now back to my photograph&#8230;</p><p>The crescent moon doesn&#8217;t apologise for being so gloriously luminous. She just holds the refracted light. Clearly, steadily, beautifully. The dark around her isn&#8217;t a failure. It&#8217;s just her context right now.</p><p>Jupiter sits above her in Cancer, that great planetary elder, the one that expands everything it touches, and right now it&#8217;s touching home, ancestral roots, belonging, the deep emotional bedrock of who we are. As if the cosmos is saying... your wisdom lives in your roots, in your Soul&#8217;s evolutionary journey, not in spite of your grief but because of it.</p><p>And Venus. Oh, Venus. Soft and unwavering to the lower-left. Love, in Cancer. Love that is tender and protective and refuses to be argued out of its own warmth. Love as a frequency that doesn&#8217;t switch off when things get hard.</p><p>Three lights. <br>In the dark. <br>Not performing. <br>Not straining. <br>Just... there.<br>Shining.</p><p><strong>Honestly? That&#8217;s the whole article,</strong> <strong>right there in one photograph.</strong></p><p>We are all crescent moons at the moment. Partly in shadow. Carrying grief that is personal and collective and sometimes impossible to name. </p><p>Mid-jump into something we can&#8217;t fully see yet. <br>Yet we feel it.  We feel it deeply.</p><p>And that&#8217;s why we continue to show up &amp; shine.</p><p>Joy does that &#10024;</p><p>_____</p><p><em>Where are you finding your Joy right now? Inside the grief, the change, the chaos of it all? I really want to know. Drop it in the comments, even if it's small. Especially if it's small, actually.</em></p><p><em>All my Love &amp; Joy, xx Simone</em></p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Radiantly Human &#120376;&#120362;&#120373;&#120361; &#120346;&#120362;&#120366;&#120368;&#120367;&#120358; is a reader-supported publication.

Because I know I&#8217;m not the only one facing it. The first one without her. The lunch I won&#8217;t be making, the flowers &amp; gift I won&#8217;t be wrapping. Mother&#8217;s Day, that most well-intentioned of occasions, arriving just weeks after she left, like a guest who didn&#8217;t get the memo.</p><p>I have been thinking about what to do with it. How to hold a day that was built around her, now that she isn&#8217;t here to receive it. I don&#8217;t have a tidy answer yet. But I think I&#8217;ll go outside early, find a quiet patch of morning, and look for her in the light. Because that, I&#8217;ve learned, is where she tends to show up now. More on that later.</p><p>I&#8217;m writing this because I think grief is one of the most profoundly human experiences we share, and yet we talk about it in the most sanitised, careful, almost apologetic way. We say <em>&#8216;I&#8217;m sorry for your loss&#8217; </em>(what a strange phrase, as if she were an object that has been lost), and then we go quiet, because grief makes us uncomfortable. We don&#8217;t quite know where to put it.</p><p>Well, I&#8217;m putting it here. All of it. The darker parts and the unexpected parts and the parts that have quietly, slowly, begun to feel like grace.</p><p>And if you&#8217;re also facing this weekend without your mum, I hope something in these words finds you and holds you. You are not alone in this.</p><h4><strong>The First Wave: The Surreal</strong></h4><p>The very first phase of grief after Mum died was not sadness.</p><p>The first phase was surreal. Almost dissociative. You float. You function (sometimes remarkably well, which comes with its own guilt) and underneath the functioning is this low, strange hum, like a frequency you can feel but not quite hear. A detachment from the world gets you through.</p><p>In the immediate days after Mum died, I was <em>busy</em>. There are so many things to organise when someone dies. Funeral. Photos. Order of Service. Celebration of Life. You are useful, and being useful is a mercy, because being useful means you don&#8217;t have to sit still long enough for it to land.</p><p>The surreal phase isn&#8217;t grief yet. It&#8217;s the body&#8217;s kindness to itself, a slow release rather than a flood. It won&#8217;t last, but it&#8217;s not supposed to. Let it be what it is.</p><h4><strong>The Wave Before the Wave: Grieving Someone Who Is Still Here</strong></h4><p>There&#8217;s a particular kind of grief that doesn&#8217;t get talked about enough, and that is the grief that comes <em>before</em> the death. The grief of watching someone you love disappear slowly, in increments, while they are still sitting right in front of you.</p><p>Mum had dementia in her final years. And if you&#8217;ve walked that road with someone, you already know what I&#8217;m about to say. If you haven&#8217;t, I want you to understand something: it is one of the most disorienting, heartbreaking, complicated experiences a person can go through. Because you are grieving someone who is still alive. You are mourning someone who is still in the room.</p><p>The decline was both rapid and achingly slow at the same time. How is that possible? I still don&#8217;t fully understand it. There were stretches where she seemed to plateau, where we could catch our breath, and then suddenly, without warning, another piece of her would slip. A memory gone. A word she couldn&#8217;t reach. A moment where she looked at me and I could see her searching, working so hard to find me behind her eyes.</p><p>She was still there. And she wasn&#8217;t.</p><p>I had already started grieving her years before she died, and nobody had a name for that. There&#8217;s something called anticipatory grief, which sounds very clinical and tidy for something that is neither of those things. It&#8217;s the particular anguish of loving someone through their leaving while they are still present. Of driving home after a visit with tears streaming down your face, unsure if you will see her again. Of celebrating small moments of clarity with a joy so fierce it hurt, because you knew it was borrowed time.</p><p>And then when she did die, there was this strange, shameful, very human thing that happened: relief. Not because I wanted her gone. Never that. But because she was no longer lost inside herself. Because the search was over. Because she was free of it.</p><p>That relief came wrapped in its own guilt, because grief is nothing if not thorough in finding new ways to make you feel like you&#8217;re doing it wrong.</p><p>Here is what I want to say to anyone who has loved someone through dementia: you did not lose them twice. You loved them twice. In two different ways, through two different kinds of hard. That is not weakness. That is an extraordinary act of devotion.</p><p>And I learned a lot more about devotion too, in witnessing the 24/7 care my Dad gave my Mum in those final years. It was the kind of love that doesn&#8217;t announce itself or ask for recognition, the kind that simply shows up, day after day, in the small and unglamorous and relentless work of caring for someone you have loved your whole adult life. It was humbling to witness. It cracked something open in me about what love actually looks like when it is tested all the way down to the bone. A raw, valiant &amp; graceful love&#8230; moved me to the core.</p><h4><strong>The Second Wave: The Anger Nobody Warns You About</strong></h4><p>Can we talk about the anger? Because nobody really wants to talk about the anger.</p><p>We know about sadness. Sadness is acceptable, expected, practically required. But anger, hot, bewildering, sometimes almost embarrassing anger&#8230; that one catches you off guard.</p><p>I was angry that we lived so far away from each other, and that I was not able to see her as much as I would have liked over the last decade. And then I was angry at myself for the visits that got pushed back, the times I didn&#8217;t call, or was too caught up in bringing up my own family to be fully present in Mum&#8217;s life.</p><p>Grief has a way of turning regret into a sport, and you will always, always find something to be sorry for if you look hard enough.</p><p>The anger is normal. It is grief&#8217;s ferocity. It is love with nowhere to go.</p><h4><strong>The Third Wave: The Loneliness That Doesn&#8217;t Have a Name</strong></h4><p>There&#8217;s a specific loneliness that comes with losing a parent, and it&#8217;s different from ordinary loneliness. It&#8217;s structural. It changes the shape of things.</p><p>There&#8217;s the family dynamic that shifts, quietly but seismically, when the matriarch leaves.</p><p>I have found myself in an unfamiliar position: the eldest, the only daughter, navigating a new family structure. Dad and my two brothers, three men. At times I have felt like the 4th wheel on a tricycle. I knew my position from within the pentagram of our family of five, but now I feel lost in the square that shape-shifts into a triangle.</p><p>I have found myself standing just slightly outside the squaring of the circle, pressing my nose against the glass.  There is a particular loneliness in being the only daughter, the only direct surviving woman. I want to name it, because I think so many of us carry it in silence.</p><p>However, I am envisioning a new family constellation, a new dynamic, a new family sacred geometry that will emerge with time. That will emerge through Love.</p><h4>The Circular Part: Why Grief Keeps Coming Back</h4><p>I can most certainly attest to this personally, grief isn&#8217;t linear. Those five stages you might have heard of (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) were never meant to be a neat, sequential checklist. They are a jumble. A spiral. A loop-de-loop.</p><p>You will think you&#8217;re fine. You will have a run of good days where you feel almost like yourself, where her passing has settled into something you can carry rather than something that&#8217;s carrying you.</p><p>And then Mothers Day descends upon you.<br>And the calendar displays Mum&#8217;s birthday coming up in July.<br>Or a random Tuesday when you smell her body lotion and find yourself curled up in a ball of tears.</p><p>This is not regression. This is not you &#8216;<em>not coping</em>&#8216;. This is grief being exactly what it is: a love story with no ending.</p><p>I&#8217;ve come to think of grief less like a wound that heals and more like a river that changes course. In the early days, it is fast and loud and it takes up all the available space. Over time, not quickly, not linearly, it becomes something you can wade in rather than something that sweeps you away. But it never entirely dries up.</p><p>And actually? I&#8217;ve started to make a kind of peace with that. Because the moments the grief returns are almost always the moments I feel her most vividly. The ache and the love are the same thing. You cannot have one without the other.</p><p>I would not trade the ache if it meant trading the love.</p><h4>The Gift You Never Asked For: What Grief Has Opened in Me</h4><p>I am not sure I am ready to write this part. But it feels dishonest not give it a try.</p><p>Grief has changed me. Not in the sentimental, bumper-sticker way&#8230; &#8216;<em>what doesn&#8217;t kill you, etc&#8230;</em>&#8216; kinda way. But in a quieter, more fundamental way.</p><p>It has made me more present. When you have watched someone you love leave this world, held their hand as they have taken their last breath, the smallness of small things becomes both more obvious and less tolerable. I am quicker now to say the thing. Say I love you. To send the message. To sit a little longer in the morning Sun over my coffee before starting my work day. She left, and I was left with a very clear sense that none of this is promised.</p><p>It has made me more honest with myself. There&#8217;s something about confronting the end of someone else&#8217;s life that makes you look more honestly at your own. To quote Neale Donald Walsh, am I living &#8216;<em>the greatest version of the grandest vision I ever held about who I am&#8217;?</em></p><p>I am ruminating deeply on this question at the moment.<br>Grief holds a mirror, and it doesn&#8217;t flatter, but it clarifies.</p><p>It has cracked my heart open in a way I can only describe as useful. I have more compassion now. For other people&#8217;s grief&#8230; I see it everywhere now that I speak its language. But also for human fragility in general. For the way we all carry more than is visible. For the extraordinary ordinary effort of simply being alive.</p><p>And it has brought me, in unexpected moments, a deep and trembling gratitude for the eighty-eight years I did have with her. For the fact that I had a Mum worth grieving this hard. Not everyone is so lucky. Some people grieve the mother they never had, the love they never received, the relationship that was always complicated and now will never be repaired. I grieve a woman who led a hard life in so many respects, yet still managed to love with all her Heart. That is an enormous gift.</p><p>But of course, Mum has not entirely left.</p><p>This morning as I walked the path to the beach, dew-drops from over-hanging She Oaks brushed the crown of my head. And I felt her. Not as memory. Not as wishful thinking. As <em>presence</em>. As something that moved through the air and the light and the ancient trees, the intelligence of water and landed, unmistakably, on me.</p><p>The sun was rising. And in that moment, in the way you simply <em>know things</em>&#8230; that her Soul is eternal. That she is not gone from the world. She has simply become more of it. She is in the morning light now. In the dew. In the flowers and trees. In the particular quality of stillness just before the day fully begins. She is in all things, and if I go quietly enough, I can find her there.</p><p>I know this will not be everyone&#8217;s experience of grief. I share it not to prescribe, but because it was real, and because it changed something in me fundamentally.</p><p>And then there is the other thing. The fiercer thing.</p><p>Grief, it turns out, does not only soften you. It also <em>fortifies</em> you. There is a strength that has come alive in me since Mum died that I can only describe as a warrioress waking up. As if she herself surges through me now, as a force rather than simply a memory, filling the space where fear used to live.</p><p>I find that very little frightens me the way it once did. Problems that would have levelled me, situations I would once have crumpled in front of, they look different now. More navigable. There is something in me that has been tested by the hardest thing, and found that I did not break, so it stands a little taller now and says: <em>bring life on.</em></p><p>Darkness, difficulty, the hard conversations, the walls that look insurmountable, I face them differently now. Not recklessly. But with a rooted, quiet knowing that Mum surges through me now, bone-deep and fierce.</p><p>I think this is what love does when it can no longer be expressed in the ordinary ways. It becomes backbone. It becomes courage. It becomes the unwavering voice that says: <em>you can do this. You have always been able to do this. And I am right here.</em></p><p>That is not nothing. That is everything.</p><h4>A Note to Anyone Who Is in It Right Now</h4><p>If you&#8217;re reading this from the thick of it, from the surreal fog, or the unexpected fury, or during the early hours when grief comes calling and there&#8217;s no one awake to call, let me share something with you&#8230;</p><p>You are not doing it wrong. There is no wrong.</p><p>Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is not a weakness to be pushed through. It is the natural consequence of having loved someone, and it deserves the same tenderness you would give any wound.</p><p>Be patient with yourself. Be patient with the people around you, even when they disappoint you, even when their grief looks nothing like yours. Be willing to ask for help. Be willing to let people show up, even imperfectly, even in ways that feel slightly beside the point. They are trying.</p><p>And know that on the other side of the hardest parts, not the far side, not where the grief ends because it doesn&#8217;t end, but on the other side of the worst of it, there is something waiting. A version of yourself that is softer and stronger in equal measure. A capacity for love and presence you perhaps didn&#8217;t know you had. A different relationship with what matters.</p><p>Grief can be agonising, but grief is also a teacher.<br>And both of those things can be true at the same time.</p><h4>The Part I&#8217;m Still Learning</h4><p>I won&#8217;t pretend. I&#8217;m not through it, far from it. But then again I don&#8217;t think <em>through it</em> is even the destination. There is no destination.</p><p>When I call home, the name in my phone address books says &#8216;Mum &amp; Dad&#8217;. And its not any easier during the call when I feel the shape of her absence on the other end of the line. Still learning how to be the daughter in a family that no longer has its Mum at the centre.</p><p>I am still untangling the grief I held from before she died from the grief I&#8217;m doing now. They are different griefs, different textures, and some days they blur together and some days they are very distinct. The long, slow loss of dementia taught me a particular patience I didn&#8217;t know I had. The actual death taught me a different kind of surrender. I am still sitting with both.</p><p>I am still learning to let myself be sad without making it smaller or neater or more palatable for the people around me. And I am now learning how to be a mother to my own daughter, differently, because of all of this.</p><p>My darling girl was there in the last weeks of Mum&#8217;s life. She took shifts. She sat with her grandmother, held her hand, showed up in ways that made my heart simultaneously break and swell with a love that I don&#8217;t have adequate words to explain. She witnessed death up close, the real kind, the slow and tender and unglamorous kind, and she did not look away. I watched my girl become something more in those weeks, and I will never forget it. She became a Woman.</p><p>I have so much more to say on this topic, but no words at present&#8230; as I am really only dancing on the edges of this new found shift in our mother-daughter relationship.</p><p>But what I can say right now is the importance of never leaving things unsaid to loved ones on the basis that there will always be more time, because, as I have learned, in the sharpest possible way, that there is not always more time.</p><p>I am still learning <em>&#8216;The Sacred Bloom</em>&#8216; of this new life chapter. Sharing my life with Mum in new &amp; evolving ways. Finding her in flowers, in the dew of She Oak leaves, in the particular slant of early morning light before the world gets noisy. Her voice is loud &amp; clear when I go quiet enough to notice. And she shows up in me, in the strength I didn&#8217;t know I had until I needed it, in the courage that rises when things get dark, in the part of me that does not flinch anymore.</p><p>She is still my Mum. That didn&#8217;t stop when she died.</p><p>Her soul is eternal. And she is in all things. And she is in me.</p><p>It just changed shape. Like grief does. Like love does.</p><p>Like we do, if we&#8217;re brave enough to let it.</p><p>---</p><p><em>Thank you for reading this. I have been quiet of late here on Substack, life has called me elsewhere.

Grief is less lonely when we say it out loud. I&#8217;d love to know, gently, whenever you&#8217;re ready, what grief has taught you. Drop your sharings in the comments, or just hold it close.

I have been speaking about this all year, how something <em>big</em> (for want of a better word) will emerge in these last months of 2023, I have felt it brewing in my bones.   And alas we are witnessing the <strong><a href="https://www.shambhallaglobal.com/blog/the-coming-holy-war-and-how-to-navigate-it">Holy War</a></strong> for the <strong>Soul of Humanity.</strong></p><p>How we choose to navigate these times will ultimately create our future.   We can choose to rise above the distraction of self-righteously taking the <em>right side</em>, or we can broker a higher possibility for humanity through our <strong><a href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/5d-our-great-awakening">5D Becomingness</a></strong>.</p><p></p><h3>No one Wins in War</h3><p>We have been conditioned to believe that <em>our own beliefs</em> are right, and if someone else contradicts our beliefs then <em>their beliefs must be wrong</em>.  And we have also been conditioned to believe that in order to ensure <em>our own belief</em>s reign supreme, it is ok to maim &amp; kill in support of our <em>right beliefs.</em></p><p>No one wins in war&#8212; it just creates more of the dysfunction, bifurcation, and suffering we are seeing in the world.&nbsp; Everyone becomes a casualty.&nbsp; </p><p>This morning <strong><a href="/__u/charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/a-story-told-a-hundred-thousand-times">Charles Eisenstein</a></strong> shared an extract from the book 1984, and it spoke to me deeply in where we find ourselves at this time.   In this extract, O&#8217;Brien is recruiting Winston into the revolutionary Brotherhood to overthrow the Party.</p><blockquote><p><strong>'You are prepared to give your lives?'</strong> '<em>Yes.'</em><br><br><strong>'You are prepared to commit murder?</strong>' <em>'Yes.'</em><br><br><strong>'To commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent people?'</strong> 'Yes.'<br><br><strong>'To betray your country to foreign powers?'</strong> <em>'Yes.'</em><br><br><strong>'You are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the minds of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases -- to do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party?'</strong> <em>'Yes.'</em><br><br><strong>'If, for example, it would somehow serve our interests to throw sulphuric acid in a child's face--are you prepared to do that?'</strong> <em>'Yes.'</em></p></blockquote><p></p><p>In other words, it is ok to commit atrocious acts against others, to become an evil fore that you are fighting against, in order to fight what you perceive to be evil.   Take a breath for a moment and really let that sit somewhere in your consciousness.  How does this feel to you?  </p><p></p><h3>A Great LIGHT of Possibility</h3><p>During the week I received a message from a friend, who shared this beautiful post from someone named <strong><a href="https://t.me/stevenobel">Steve</a></strong>.   The message touched me deeply, as it teased out the feelings &amp; words that I have been grappling with in bringing this post to you today.  Here is a little extract for you to feel into&#8230;</p><p><em>Dear Starseed,</em></p><p><em>There is a saying, what we resist persists. This does not mean we can never have boundaries. This does not mean we can never say no to anything. What this means is what we fight with we dance with. What we dance with we become. The more we fight against something the more we tend to take on the qualities of what we are fighting against. This is why demonstrations for peace actually turn out to be something quite different. At some level the victim always harbours the energies of the persecutor within them. Similarly, the rebel will tend to harbour the energy of the tyrant.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>This is why it is not a good idea to fight against Dark Forces. It is a better idea to focus energy into creating something magical instead. I am not saying this is easy. With all the shenanigans of Dark Forces unleashing the insanity of war this is a great challenge.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>This is something I work with daily within myself. One day those Dark Forces will implode with their insanity. I place this in the hands of God/Goddess All That Is and the incoming waves of light. Surrender what you cannot control. Focus on what you can do to make this world a more peaceful and loving place.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Love Steve </em>&#128591;&#128154;&#127804;&#128154;&#127804;&#128154;&#127804;&#128154;&#127804;&#128154;&#127804;&#128154;&#128591;</p><p></p><p>I agree with Steve.   When we go to battle, ultimately we take on the qualities of those that we are battling with.  We end up dancing just like them.   We become blind to the pain &amp; suffering we ourselves are actually causing in the name of <em>proving we are right.</em></p><p>Yet, that old story of justification has been played out for millennia and is now growing very thin.  Hasn&#8217;t that groove on the record player run it&#8217;s course?   Isn&#8217;t it time that we as a collective consciousness raise the stylus to a higher more loving, kind &amp; compassionate groove?   A groove that seeds the LIGHT of a grander possibility for humanity?</p><p></p><h3>We but Mirror the World</h3><p>Our theme in my <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/">Flourish Community</a></strong> this month is Mirrors.  I shared a heartfelt LIVE with my Community yesterday, diving deep into the Mirrors of this global moment.  During our Wisdom Circle LIVE event, I shared my insights into the events playing out in Palestine &amp; Israel, and what we can do to service a more beautiful vision of peace, understanding, reverence &amp; living together unified within our diversity.</p><p>If you feel guided, you can <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/landing/plans/338558">Join our

All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do."</em></p><p></p><h3>It all starts within</h3><p>Sharing the following video that goes to the heart of my post here today.

But hang in there, or consider fast-forwarding to 26 or 27 minutes onwards, and listen for at least 10 mins (though I recommend you listen through to the end), to garner a glimpse into a grander possibility for humanity.</p><p>Change starts within us.  We are called to find the LIGHT within ourselves and not be blinded by this war for our thoughts, our mind, our consciousness, our humanity.

Freedom is an inherent part of our Godly natures.   As I shared in an <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2020/09/the-danger-of-the-single-story/">article back in September 2020</a></strong>, never have I found myself so engulfed, pushed, coerced &amp; tracked into living a &#8216;Single Story&#8217;.&nbsp;</p><p>Whilst it saddens me on the one hand the grab for global power over our health, on the other I believe this dark plan is the catalyst of many people waking up &amp; maybe discovering for the first time in their lives just how powerful they truly are!</p><p>What is this grab for power you may ask?</p><p>Our world is currently at risk of losing its sovereignty to an unelected body that is World Health Organization (W.H.O.) due to proposed changes to the World Health Assembly's (WHA's) International Health Regulations (IHR) set to be ratified in May 2024. All this even if member countries vote against the proposals.</p><p>Further down this page I have shared a number of resource to help bring an understanding to what is the IHR,  what are the proposed changes to the regulations,  and what you can do to be a voice of change.</p><p>Whilst these proposed changes would negate our abilities to make personal choices for our healthcare, personally I believe that is where the power grabbers are greatly mistaken.  They have underestimated the power of the people to not comply, to not be held prisoner in a box with gun-point treaties held to their heads.   </p><p>The change is in OUR hands &#128591;</p><p></p><h3>The W.H.O.&#8217;s Power Grab</h3><p>The W.H.O. is the World Health Organisation, an agency of the United Nations (UN) responsible for international public health.</p><p>Both organisations are currently preparing 4 documents that purport to be treaties all in the name of health and future pandemics. These documents are being drafted under urgency, behind closed doors, by unelected officials.</p><p>The 4 <em>treaties</em> will hand the WHO the authority to make binding directions on how a country is required to respond to a <em>potential </em>public health emergency (not an actual one). The WHO will be able to order measures including significant financial contributions from individual Member States, censor scientific debate, order lockdowns, restrict travel, force medical examinations and mandatory vaccinations, all in the name of health.</p><p>In order to stop their progress, all 194 Member States (including Australia) need to actively reject them by specific dates, otherwise the treaties become binding.</p><p>I highly recommend this article by Children&#8217;s Health Defence Australia, that walks you through who is the W.H.O, the W.H.A, the UN, the proposed changes, and what they mean for world health.</p><p><a href="https://childrenshealthdefense.org.au/who-ihr/">https://childrenshealthdefense.org.au/who-ihr/</a></p><p></p><h3>Changes to the International Health Regulations (IHR)</h3><p>Last week <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Robyn Chuter&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:29386713,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0760b29f-9b01-4e57-907c-368c8de6e10f_267x400.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;29050337-a94d-4c61-9d97-6c5c794f2e6a&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> working alongside Standup Australia, held this LIVE online event, where 4 speakers presented both their insights into what is happening to world health, and what you can do about it.</p><p>Below I have imbedded the video, plus here are Time Stamps too for your reference.</p><p><strong>4:33</strong>&#8212; <strong>Katie Ashby-Koppens</strong> is a Litigator &amp; Human Rights Lawyer.

Change &amp; Consciousness</a></strong> before diving deep into this post.</p><div><hr></div><p>Before I share information that challenges the &#8216;One Story&#8217; of Climate Change, may I ask a favour of you?   Inviting you to consider my sharings in this article with an air of curiosity and a commitment to not let confirmation bias or cognitive dissonance cloud your judgement.   <br><br>Simply consider it.  <br>Maybe file it away in your brains &#8216;filing cabinet&#8217; for now.<br>It may not make sense to you in this moment.<br>And maybe it never will.  <br>But you never know what is around the corner &amp; you just may wish to reopen your filing cabinet at a later date!<br><br>True empowerment comes from the ability to weight up ALL data/opinions/research and make choices from your own personal learned research.  Let your beliefs &amp; opinions be your own, not what you have &amp; are being told to think, do, or say.<br></p><h3>Humans are Fractals of the Whole</h3><p>Humans are fractals of the whole.  We are not above nature, not better than nature, or even more intelligent nature.   In fact we <em>are</em> nature, it&#8217;s in our truest natures. </p><p>Which means that climate/weather is not separate to us, but rather is a part of us.  What happens <em>in-here</em> (touching my heart as I type this), also happens <em>out-there</em>.  And conversely what is <em>out-there</em> happens <em>in-here</em>.   </p><p>The hermetic axiom sums it up beautifully&#8212; <br>As above, So Below, As Within.<br><br>Human emotions, mind, consciousness has the capacity to change weather, change the climate.  Just look at the work of <strong><a href="https://www.heartmath.com/">Heart Math</a></strong> over the last 25years as evidence of the capacity of the Human Heart &amp; Bioresonance to effect change.</p><p>Looking back on the last few years and reflecting on the turbulence, anger, fear, outrage, sorrow, grief, loss, etc&#8212; is it any wonder that there is a wildness in the air?</p><p>There are many other factors at play too, such as geo-engineering, but that is a conversation for another day!   </p><p>Whilst I believe a HUGE paradigm shift is needed in our collective value system &amp; consciousness in how we treat our planet, we must not muddy that discussion with the natural ebb &amp; flow cycles of our planets Climate.    <br><br>We need to change.  We must collectively take our values to a higher place and not pollute this glorious planet that gifts us life.   Consumerism.  Over-consumption.  An agricultural system that destroys our planets soil &amp; microbiome&#8212; hence our human biome.  We must remember that life itself is a gift, and with that gift comes a sacred responsibility to leave this world a better place for generations emerging.</p><p>Now with that said, let me share some compelling research &amp; data that speaks volumes!</p><p></p><h3>Dr John Christy&#8212; There is no Crisis!</h3><p>Dr John Christy is a distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science and Director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.  Dr Christy has been a compelling voice on the other side of the climate change debate for decades. <br><br>Christy, a self-proclaimed &#8220;climate nerd&#8221;, developed an unwavering desire to understand weather and climate at the tender age of 10, and remains as devoted to understanding the climate system to this day. </p><p>By using data sets built from scratch, Christy, with other scientists including NASA scientist Roy Spencer, have been testing the theories generated by climate models to see how well they hold up to reality. Their findings? On average, the latest models for the deep layer of the atmosphere are warming about twice too fast, presenting a deeply flawed and unrealistic representation of the actual climate. </p><p>In this long-form interview, Christy &#8211; who receives no funding from the fossil fuel industry &#8211; provides data-substantiated clarity on a host of issues, further refuting the climate crisis narrative.</p><p>Watch the following interview here with Dr John Christy.

href="https://co2coalition.org/">co2coalition.org</a></strong>&#8212; it&#8217;s worth a bookmark &amp; deep dive.</p><p>The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy. </p><p>The Coalition seeks to engage in an informed and dispassionate discussion of climate change, humans&#8217; role in the climate system, the limitations of climate models, and the consequences of mandated reductions in CO2 emissions.</p><p>In carrying out their mission, the CO2 Coalition seeks to strengthen the understanding of the role of science and the scientific process in addressing complex public policy issues like climate change. Science produces empirical, measurable, objective facts and provides a means for testing hypotheses that can be replicated and potentially disproven. Approaches to policy that do not adhere to the scientific process risk grave damage to the economy and to science.</p><p>You maybe wondering who is behind the CO2 Coalition&#8212; I <strong><a href="https://co2coalition.org/about/">recommend this page </a></strong>on their website for a full resource of all Members &amp; their Bios.</p><p>I highly recommend their <strong><a href="https://co2coalition.org/facts/">Climate Facts </a></strong>page with downloadable resources that support their <strong>32 Facts on Climate, CO2 &amp; Weather. </strong></p><div

a <strong><a href="https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/news/statements/childhood-vaccines/">press statement</a></strong> on September 5, 2023&#8212; urging parents to adopt a common-sense <em>Safer to Wait</em> approach to Childhood Vaccines.</p><p>The number of vaccines given to babies and children has increased dramatically without the necessary due diligence by regulatory authorities. &nbsp;Growing international concerns about vaccine regulatory processes and vaccine safety have emerged following the widespread regulatory failure of Covid-19 vaccines. The Covid-19 crisis has demonstrated that regulatory bodies, once public watchdogs, are now at best incompetent and at worst have been deeply corrupted by pharmaceutical industry interests.</p><p>In the context of emerging revelations of regulatory body incompetence and corruption, e.g. <a href="https://perseus.org.uk/main-report">The Perseus Report</a>, the WCH Health and Science Committee notes that:</p><ul><li><p>Several research studies now indicate that vaccinated children have far worse health outcomes with higher rates of many chronic diseases than non-vaccinated children.</p></li><li><p>The integrity of scientific research and the regulatory process of childhood vaccines, including the new nasal &#8216;flu&#8217; vaccine, now being administered <em>en masse</em> in schools is in question.</p></li><li><p>Pharmaceutical corporations have a long-standing history of misrepresenting products that cause injuries and deaths. Pfizer, for instance, has paid the largest criminal settlement in history for drug fraud. The childhood vaccination schedule provides these unscrupulous corporations with unregulated access to the bodies of our children.</p></li><li><p>Modern society is experiencing unprecedented rates of autism, asthma, allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, obesity, depression and more, for which the root cause/s have not been established.</p></li><li><p>Much of what we have been told about the success of early vaccines, including smallpox and polio vaccines is emerging as untrue. Clean water, modern plumbing, hygiene, refrigeration, and improved nutrition are real factors that have correlated with the dramatic reduction in many infectious diseases over the past century.</p></li><li><p>National regulatory agencies have <em>never</em> done the necessary evaluation to determine whether vaccines given to children alone or together according to the ever-expanding childhood vaccination schedules are associated with poor health outcomes compared with children who are not vaccinated.</p></li><li><p>National regulatory agencies have been turning a blind eye to the mounting evidence linking childhood vaccination with autism that has emerged since a possible link was first suggested in 1998.</p></li><li><p>National regulatory agencies have also been turning a blind eye to the mounting evidence linking childhood vaccination with other diseases, including asthma, allergies, bowel disease.</p></li><li><p>The vast majority of children find vaccination with needles painful and long-term psychological harms, including disruption to breastfeeding and maternal bonding, have not been properly evaluated.</p></li><li><p>There are serious concerns among experts that existing childhood vaccines will be converted to mRNA technology, which has never been proven safe for use in vaccines for adults let alone children, and that this will be done without public awareness, consent and a robust research and regulatory process.</p></li><li><p>With regard to Covid-19 vaccination, evidence from independent experts and official international databases show that the Covid-19 vaccines are not effective and are not safe, raising serious questions around the authorisation of the Covid-19 vaccines for babies and children.</p></li></ul><p>In addition to these specific considerations, the burgeoning vaccination schedule for children needs to be viewed in the context of the following supranational developments in global health policy:</p><ul><li><p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) and its private and state stakeholders have financial and ideological interests in the provision of vaccines and has committed to providing 500 vaccines by 2030.</p></li><li><p>The WHO and its stakeholders are working for the pharmaceutical industry and creating legislation that would give them the power to mandate injections by force for you and your children.</p></li><li><p>The WHO supports gain-of-function research, facilitating the creation of dangerous pathogens as well as the vaccines to combat newly created pathogens, thus creating a self-perpetuating vaccine industry based on fear.</p></li></ul><p>In the current circumstances, the World Council for Health urges parents to consider childhood vaccination very carefully and adopt a common-sense, &#8220;Safer to Wait&#8221; approach to the vaccination of your boys and girls.</p><h5>Don&#8217;t fall for the vaccine fearmongering and guilt-provoking propaganda.</h5><p>For the sake of all children and a healthy society it is time that we question our blind faith in vaccines, the corporations that produce them, and the regulatory bodies and supranational organisations that enable and profit directly or indirectly through their authorisation.</p><p>The World Council for Health will continue to bring you supportive information and resources to help you optimize your family&#8217;s health naturally. Be assured that reducing infectious disease and maximizing your children&#8217;s health is rooted in wholesome nutrition, good physical and mental hygiene, a healthy outdoor lifestyle and your unconditional love.</p><p>References:</p><ol><li><p>WCH meeting #101, August 28<sup>th</sup> 2023. <a href="https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/multimedia/brian-hooker-vax-unvax/">https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/multimedia/brian-hooker-vax-unvax/</a></p></li><li><p>Anthony R.

vaccinate our children.   Our personal choice was met with an onslaught of well intentioned people telling us how selfish we were for putting our children&#8217;s lives in danger&#8212; or even putting their children&#8217;s live in danger by destroying herd immunity.</p><p>As I <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2020/09/the-danger-of-the-single-story/">wrote in 2020</a></strong>&#8230;</p><p><em>&#8220;When a Germ Theorist &#8216;listens&#8217; to a Terrain Theorists ideologies through the filter of their own beliefs, then the life-enhancing beliefs of a Terrain Theorist are deemed as selfish, irresponsible, and indeed a threat to society.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tarnishing the Terrain Theorist with disdain.&nbsp; Branding Terrain Theorists enemies of the State.&nbsp;&nbsp; Suspicions begin to grow among fellow compatriots until the old <strong>&#8216;</strong>dob in your neighbour if you think they are not upholding the Single Story<strong>&#8217;</strong> seems a logical next step.</em></p><p><em>Yet, a Terrain Theorists sees their beliefs &amp; practices as the most LOVING thing they can do to help not only themselves, but also others to be of greatest service to the health &amp; wellbeing of others.&nbsp;&nbsp; And they see the exploitive commoditisation &amp; commercialisation of Germ Theory as an erosion of what in means to be human and to thrive within the natural world.&#8221;</em></p><p>The following two videos offer an insight into 5 false flags of Germ Theory &amp; offer an alternate insight the cause of

Therapy</a></strong> <em>by Ulric Williams &amp; Samantha Bailey</em></p><p></p><h2>Anthroposophic Medicine</h2><p>I know this is a big leap to make into Estoric healthcare, but have you ever considered that childhood illness are actually a right of passage?   Could certain illnesses both activate &amp; attune the immune system, and be key markers in a child&#8217;s Naturosophic development through nature? </p><p>In anthroposophic medicine, childhood illnesses are seen at rites of passage that strengthen a child's energy field, awaken their life-force and expand their connection with the Cosmos. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>If something in you is intrigued, maybe start with the book <strong><a href="https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/An-Introduction-to-Anthroposophical-Medicine-by-Victor-Bott-author/9781855841772">An Introduction to Anthroposophical Medicine</a></strong> <em>by Victor Bott,</em> as well as <strong><a href="https://rudolfsteinerbookstore.com/product/how-to-know-higher-worlds/">How to Know Higher Worlds</a></strong> <em>Rudolph Steiner</em>.  </p><p>And with this recent article by <strong><a href="/__u/anamihalceamdphd.substack.com/p/diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-polio">Dr Ana Maria Mihalcea</a></strong> on childhood vaccines&#8212; you have to wonder if Rudolph Steiner was right!

history.</p><p>Intuitively, something didn't quite feel right at the time. &nbsp;I couldn't put my finger on&#8212; but I trusted my gut instincts. &nbsp; Now over the pursuing years, there have been a voluminous number of articles and doco's that have given a voice &amp; validation to that inner-knowing that not all is as it seems.</p><p>On the 22 year Anniversary of 9/11, sharing a NEW

9/11&nbsp;</strong>was released over the weekend&#8212; a new documentary narrated by Dr Graeme MacQueen. &nbsp; Dr MacQueen was a professor of religious studies (1974 to 2003) at McMaster University, Ontario, having graduated with a Ph.D from Harvard. He established the Centre for Peace Studies, was involved in peace-building activities in war zones, and after his retirement dedicated his research to the a critique of the foundations of the War on Terror.</p><p>Shortly before Dr MacQueen died in April 2023, he sat down for one last project: a documentary film summarising his life, his work, his activism for peace and his insights into the

Positioned around 150 Million Km from Earth, it takes light around 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.     And our Sun is gloriously luminous&#8212; having a mass of 333,000 times that of Earth, and containing about 99.8% of all mass of our entire Solar System.</p><p>The spiritual life force of our world is powered by the Sun.  From the evolutionary chloroplasts in Plants, to Human Mitochondria.   We are Solar Beings dreamed into this world through higher dimensions&#8212; and it&#8217;s the Sun that enables our vital force to make manifest the physical temple of our Soul&#8217;s.  </p><p>When God said &#8216;let there be light&#8217; it was the LIGHT of the Sun that sculptured the miracle of our bodies from the dust (minerals) of the Earth, and that activates our Luminous genetic potential through the dance of the Planets &amp; the music of the Spheres within our Cosmos.</p><p>On a spiritual level, our Sun is an ESSENTIAL activator &amp; attuner of our genetic potential as we quantum leap into Homo Luminous.   On a physical level, our Sun guides our circadian rhythms with nature, regulates our mood, boosts immune function, and is essential for a strong skeletal system.   I have always felt the Sun provides us with a &#8216;Strong back, and a warm &amp; compassionate Heart&#8217;.</p><p>Given the Life &amp; Spirit giving qualities of the Sun and her barcode rays of intelligence, in a parallel reality it&#8217;s not hard to see WHY those lost in banal materialism would want to diminish the Sun&#8217;s Rays, or even move our Earth further away from the Sun!</p><p></p><h4>Solar Radiation Modification</h4><p>In June 2023, the WhiteHouse&#8217;s Office of Science &amp; Technology released a report into about <strong><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/13/what-is-solar-geoengineering-sunlight-reflection-risks-and-benefits.html">Solar Geoengineering</a></strong>&#8212; methods to block/deflect our Suns rays.

Cloud Brightening (MCB) as possible avenues to <em>cool</em> our Earth.   Whilst sounding like something out of a C grade Sci-Fi movie, this is not a fictional story, but rather serious mitigation strategies for combatting <em>climate change</em>.</p><p>From a materialistic perspective, maybe these strategies can be viewed as virtuous.  But from a place of holism, life on Earth is part of something much greater than ourselves&#8212; and the human mind has no idea of the grander implications of egoically playing God.</p><p></p><h4>Move the Earth away from the Sun</h4><p>No, the above heading is NOT a typo!  <strong><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12165975/Is-solution-global-warming-Scientist-claims-Earth-away-sun.html">Albert Zijlstra,</a></strong> a professor of astrophysics at the University of Manchester, suggests shifting Earth further back from the sun.</p><p>Essentially,  using <strong><a href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-s-dart-mission-hits-asteroid-in-first-ever-planetary-defense-test">NASA&#8217;s DART</a></strong> technology, he suggests that we speed up Earth&#8217;s orbit (that enables it to resist the Suns gravity) which would shift the Earth about three million miles from the Sun.  Why? For global cooling.</p><p>It astounds me that rational minds have lost their Heartfelt connection with Divinity.  And this is really like history repeating itself, when we made the same attempt some 13,000 years ago that lead to the <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/product/wisdom-courses/crystal-light-healing-sacred-wisdom-ecourse/">sinking of Atlantis.</a></strong></p><p></p><h4>Climate Change &amp; Awakening of Consciousness</h4><p>Whilst materialism, greed &amp; the shadow of humanity is trapped in the illusionary story of Climate Change and its horrendous implications&#8212; there is also a more beautiful story emerging.   A deep &amp; reverent connection to the sacredness of these waves of Climate Cycles within the bigger picture of our becoming <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2015/10/article-4-quantum-dna-activation-attunement/">Homo Luminous.</a></strong></p><p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, humans need to change the way we treat Mumma Earth.  I believe we are here to loveup our planet, treat nature with respect, and in reciprocity create a world more beautiful for future generations emerging.   </p><p>But blocking Earth&#8217;s Rays, or moving planet Earth away from the Sun is NOT the solution.   Playing on human emotional vulnerability to manipulate humans in accepting such cold, dark &amp; fear-based solutions&#8212; feels like <strong><a href="https://neoanthroposophy.com/2021/08/26/the-incarnations-of-ahriman-and-lucifer/">Ahrimanic energies</a> </strong>at play, rather than the love of the Divine.</p><p>I will leave the discussion of Climate Change to a future post, the topic is way too big to do justice here in a few short paragraphs.  But for now here are a few points &amp; links for your personal research, and you discover the truth through the intelligence of your Heart.</p><ul><li><p>CO2 Levels of Earth are currently <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth's_atmosphere">.04%</a></strong> (apologies for linking to wiki!)</p></li><li><p>Anything <strong><a href="https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/156045/mass-extinction-because-of-too-low-co2-levels">below .02%</a></strong> causes plants (life) on Earth to die</p></li><li><p>CO2 Levels &amp; Temperature are necessarily correlated.

dangers of 5G, then the following video makes great inroads into some of the Key Issues.</p><p>In this Dean&#8217;s Lecture,<strong> epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation expert, Dr Devra Davis </strong>outlines the evolution of the mobile phone and smartphone, and provides a background to the current 19 year old radiation safety standards (SAR), policy developments and international legislation. New global studies on the health consequences of mobile/wireless radiation will be presented, including children&#8217;s exposure and risks.</p><p>Dr Devra Davis is an internationally recognised expert on electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other wireless transmitting devices. She is currently the Visiting Professor of Medicine at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Visiting Professor of Medicine at Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey. Dr Davis was Founding Director of the Center for Environmental Oncology at The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute &#8212;&#173; the first institute of its kind in the world, to examine the environmental factors that contribute to the majority of cases of cancer.</p><p>In 2007, Dr Devra Davis founded non&#173;profit Environmental Health Trust to provide basic research and education about environmental health hazards. Dr Davis served as the President Clinton appointee to the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board in the U.S.A. from 1994&#8211;&#173;1999, an independent executive branch agency that investigates, prevents and mitigates chemical accidents.&nbsp; As the former Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, she has counseled leading officials in the United States, United Nations, European Environment Agency, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and World Bank.</p><p>Dr Davis holds a B.S. in physiological psychology and an M.A. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh, 1967.

Since then, she has dedicated herself to creating change and exposing the widespread illness that has already resulted from exposure to this ubiquitous form of radiation. As a leading advocate against 5G and an expert on the health effects of wireless technology radiation, Dafna is the Children's Health Defense Senior Attorney and Director of the 5G program leading the U.S battle to derail Big Telecom&#8217;s craven scheme to irradiate our children.</p><p>Read more about Dafna&#8217;s work with <strong>Children's Health Defense </strong><a

MsC, MA or MPHs. Among the authors are three former presidents of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and five full members of BEMS.&nbsp;&nbsp; The full referenced report investigates the <strong>possible risks</strong> from <strong>wireless technologies and electromagnetic fields.</strong></p><p>I highly recommend that you <strong><a href="https://bioinitiative.org/table-of-contents/">Read the Full Report</a></strong>, or even <strong><a href="https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions/">Read the Report Summary Conclusion</a></strong>.&nbsp; The outcome from the report highlights the extensive damage 5G and all wireless technologies &amp; EMFs have not only on plant &amp; animal life, but also on the human body.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

for World ID</strong>&#8212; a person visits a Worldcoin Operator in person to have their iris biometrics recorded via an Orb, creating a unique personal identifier&#8212; ie a world digital passport.</p></li><li><p><strong>Receive your free Worldcoin Tokens</strong>&#8212; once a persons unique personhood is verified, they then claim their share of free Worldcoin Tokens (WLD) on setup, and on a regular basis.  The initial stages of a UBI&#8212; Universal Basic Income.  Users can also use their World ID within the World App to learn about digital currencies and receive free airdrops of Bitcoin, Ethereum and more.</p></li></ol><p>Note that Worldcoin can only be used in countries where Worldcoin Tokens <strong><a href="https://worldcoin.pactsafe.io/rkuawsvk5.html#contract-qx3iz24-o">are legally available</a></strong>.  Currently the United States is exempt from Worldcoin&#8212; maybe this is due to their own <strong><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/09/16/technical-possibilities-for-a-u-s-central-bank-digital-currency/">CBDC</a></strong> currently down the pipeline with <strong><a href="https://cryptoslate.com/us-presidential-candidate-robert-kennedy-says-fednow-is-first-step-to-banning-bitcoin/">FedNow</a></strong> having launched as a stepping stone in this direction?</p><p></p><h3>Who is behind Worldcoin?</h3><p>Worldcoin is co-founded by <strong>Sam Altman</strong>, the head of the company behind the <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2023/05/the-a-i-dilemma-a-force-for-good-or-catastrophe/">artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChapGPT, Open AI</a></strong>.    </p><p><strong>Alex Blania</strong>, a German physicist, is the other co-founder of Worldcoin, notably the CEO.

data collection and data transfer, including Europe&#8217;s General Data Protection Regulation.</em>"</p><p>In May 2023, <strong><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/12/hackers-stole-passwords-of-worldcoin-orb-operators/">TechCrunch</a></strong> reported that hackers had been able to steal login credentials of several of Worldcoin's operators' personal devices including their credentials to the Worldcoin operator app. Worldcoin's spokesperson said that no personal user data was compromised though, because the operator app does not access user data.</p><p>In April 2022, a report from <strong><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-biometrics-web3/">MIT Technology Review</a></strong> highlighted Worldcoin's controversial practices in low-income countries, citing that Worldcoin takes advantage of impoverished people to grow its network.   Pseudonymous crypto influencer <strong>ZachXBT <a href="https://twitter.com/zachxbt/status/1683512534811172864">tweeted</a></strong>&#8212; Most alarming to me is how the WorldCoin team has boasted about how many users they have. When in reality they have been exploiting people in developing countries.</p><p>Worldcoin did issue a <strong><a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21578921-worldcoin-responses-to-mittr">25-page rebuttal</a></strong> to MIT Technology Review&#8217;s criticisms. <em>&#8220;We want to make it very clear that Worldcoin is not a data company and our business model does not involve exploiting or selling personal user data,&#8221; it wrote. &#8220;Worldcoin is only interested in a user&#8217;s uniqueness&#8212;i.e., that they have not signed up for Worldcoin before&#8212;not their identity.&#8221;</em></p><p>Why did Worldcoin choose to use this kind of Iris Biometric data for proof of being a real human?   </p><p>As <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/10/an-orb-a-token-and-money-for-everyone-worldcoins-ceo-on-cryptos-most-daring-project/">Blania has shared</a></strong>, <em>many of the systems that are live today will get quite challenged in a world of [improving AI]. It&#8217;s going to be very easy to fake things on the internet. Asking someone to do certain tasks, like CAPTCHA, or a more complicated form of CAPTCHA, will eventually break. You fundamentally need to bridge to the physical world, and measure what it means to be a human. </em></p><p>See the <strong><a href="https://worldcoin.org/blog/announcements/worldcoin-begins-rollout-orbs-meet-global-demand-world-id">list of 35+ cities in 20+ countrie</a></strong>s across five continents where Orbs will be available between now and the end of 2023.</p><p></p><h3>Worldcoin&#8212; Privacy &amp; Security</h3><p>Convenience, accessibility, ease of transacting&#8212; these are all promising benefits of advancing technologies &amp; AI.  However are we trading off convenience for global surveillance and lack of privacy ?</p><p>In the words of <strong><a href="https://worldcoin.org/privacy">Worldcoin</a></strong>&#8212; we don&#8217;t want to know who you are, just that you are unique!  Worldcoin claims that the images of the user and their iris pattern are permanently deleted after signing up, unless users opt-in to allow them to be stored in the system as training data. The training data is not connected to Worldcoin tokens, transactions or World ID, the company <a href="https://worldcoin.org/privacy">says</a>.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202307/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-drives-digital-id-enrollment-despite-potential-privacy-nightmare">Biometricupdate</a></strong> has noted that privacy organizations such as the U.S.-based Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) are <strong><a href="https://epic.org/epic-statement-on-privacy-risks-of-worldcoin/">arguing</a></strong> that despite receiving free tokens, users are paying a high price for the potential risks of hacking and exploiting their biometric data.</p><p>&#8220;<em>Mass collections of biometrics like Worldcoin threaten people&#8217;s privacy on a grand scale, both if the company misuses the information it collects, and if that data is stolen,&#8221; says EPIC counsel Jake Wiener. &#8220;Ultimately, Worldcoin wants to become the default digital ID and a global currency without democratic buy-in at the start, that alone is a compelling reason not to turn over your biometrics, personal information and geolocation data to a private company.</em>&#8221;</p><p>UK privacy campaign group <strong><a href="https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/">Big Brother Watch</a></strong> has also criticized the project, with senior advocacy officer Madeleine Stone <strong><a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202307/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-drives-digital-id-enrollment-despite-potential-privacy-nightmare">arguing that</a></strong> digital ID systems &#8220;<em>increase state and corporate control over individuals</em>&#8217; lives.&#8221;</p><p><strong>Vitalik Buterin</strong> is a Russian-Canadian computer programmer, and founder of Ethereum. In his <strong><a href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/07/24/biometric.html">latest article</a></strong> he gives his insights on what he thinks about <strong>Worldcoin &amp; biometric proof of personhood&#8212;</strong></p><p>In his post he details that there are four major risks that immediately come to mind:</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>Privacy</strong>. The registry of iris scans may reveal information. At the very least, if someone else scans your iris, they can check it against the database to determine whether or not you have a World ID. Potentially, iris scans might reveal more information.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Accessibility</strong>. World IDs are not going to be reliably accessible unless there are so many Orbs that anyone in the world can easily get to one.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Centralization</strong>. The Orb is a hardware device, and we have no way to verify that it was constructed correctly and does not have backdoors. Hence, even if the software layer is perfect and fully decentralized, the Worldcoin Foundation still has the ability to insert a backdoor into the system, letting it create arbitrarily many fake human identities.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Security</strong>. Users' phones could be hacked, users could be coerced into scanning their irises while showing a public key that belongs to someone else, and there is the possibility of 3D-printing "fake people" that can pass the iris scan and get World IDs.</em></p></li></ul><p>He further goes onto say&#8230;</p><p><em>Worldcoin depends on specialized hardware, which opens up the challenge of trusting the orb manufacturers to have constructed the orbs correctly.</em></p><p>In addition to issues specific to Worldcoin, Buterin also discusses concerns that affect proof-of-personhood designs in general. The major ones that he <strong><a href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/07/24/biometric.html">detailed in his post </a></strong>are&#8212; </p><ol><li><p><em><strong>3D-printed fake people</strong>: one could use AI to generate photographs or even 3D prints of fake people that are convincing enough to get accepted by the Orb software. If even one group does this, they can generate an unlimited number of identities.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Possibility of selling IDs</strong>: someone can provide someone else's public key instead of their own when registering, giving that person control of their registered ID, in exchange for money. This <a href="https://twitter.com/resistancemoney/status/1677259644321005568">seems to be happening already</a>. In addition to selling, there's also the possibility of <strong>renting IDs</strong> to use for a short time in one application.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Phone hacking</strong>: if a person's phone gets hacked, the hacker can steal the key that controls their World ID.</em></p></li><li><p><em><strong>Government coercion to steal IDs</strong>: a government could force their citizens to get verified while showing a QR code belonging to the government. In this way, a malicious government could gain access to millions of IDs. In a biometric system, this could even be done covertly: governments could use obfuscated Orbs to extract World IDs from everyone entering their country at the passport control booth.</em></p></li></ol><p><em>Note that (1.) is specific to biometric proof-of-personhood systems. (2.) and (3.) are common to both biometric and non-biometric designs. (4.) is also common to both, though the techniques that are required would be quite different in both cases; in this section I will focus on the issues in the biometric case.</em></p><p><em>These are pretty serious weaknesses. Some already have been addressed in existing protocols, others can be addressed with future improvements, and still others seem to be fundamental limitations.</em></p><p></p><h3>Worldcoin&#8212; Morality ?</h3><p>The glossy veneer of Worldcoin promotes itself as the answer to countering bots &amp; fake virtual identities&#8212; essentially the ability to authenticate yourself online globally.  Whilst Worldcoin sounds virtuous, the manner in which they are establishing themselves possibly questions their moral compass?   </p><p>Plus the founder Sam Altman <strong><a href="https://fortune.com/2023/03/17/sam-altman-rivals-rip-openai-name-not-open-artificial-intelligence-gpt-4/">has been questioned</a></strong> for his openness in the past!</p><p>As I mentioned briefly above,  the MIT Technology Review article <strong><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-biometrics-web3/">Deception, exploited workers, and cash handouts: How Worldcoin recruited its first half a million test users</a>&#8212; </strong>the article states that Worldcoin has taken advantage of impoverished people to grow its network.    </p><p><strong><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-biometrics-web3/">Investigations revealed</a></strong> wide gaps between Worldcoin&#8217;s public messaging, which focused on protecting privacy, and what users experienced. It was found that the company&#8217;s representatives used deceptive marketing practices, collected more personal data than it acknowledged, and failed to obtain meaningful informed consent. </p><p>Whilst Worldcoin&#8217;s shiny marketing is about alleviating global poverty, it appears to have <strong><a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/richardnieva/worldcoin-crypto-eyeball-scanning-orb-problems">angered the very people</a></strong> it claims to be helping.</p><p></p><h3>Worldcoin&#8212; Self-Sovereign Identity</h3><p>Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is about owning your identity online&#8212; a digital passport or wallet that proves you are you.   Maybe this sounds great at first glance, but as you dive a little deeper alarm bells begin to ring.</p><p>SSI can be seen as a ONE master key that unlocks everything&#8212; accessing the internet, banking, websites&#8212; absolutely everything.  No more messy passwords, you have ONE SSI that can access the lot.  SSI is seen as your AI Digital Twin that &#8216;knows&#8217; everything about you&#8212; preferences, what you like, voting preferences&#8212; everything!</p><p>Dele Atanda, founder of the <strong><a href="https://theinternet.foundation/">Internet.Foundation</a></strong> and founder of <strong><a href="https://metame.com/">metaMe</a> </strong>declared mission of his Internet.Foundation is &#8220;to get a billion people self-sovereign by 2030.&#8221;</p><p>Without deviating too much into the pitfalls of SSI, it&#8217;s not hard to see a future where SSI/Digital ID controls what you can/can&#8217;t access int he world.  As I shared in <strong><a href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/there-is-a-crack-in-everything-thats">there is a crack in everything</a></strong>&#8212; &#8216;We must not develop amnesia regarding the importance of safeguarding our democratic values<strong>&#8212; </strong>or blindly defer our self-authority&#8230;&#8217; </p><p>The question is, could Worldcoin with it&#8217;s global World ID be the mechanism to achieve this goal?   </p><p>Alex Blania (Worldcoin CoFounder) <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/10/an-orb-a-token-and-money-for-everyone-worldcoins-ceo-on-cryptos-most-daring-project/">was asked during a recent interview</a>&#8212; </strong>&#8216;You haven&#8217;t used these words, but you&#8217;re essentially trying to solve Self-Sovereign ID, or SSID. Is that right?   </p><p>His answer was:<strong> YES</strong></p><p></p><h3>Worldcoin&#8212; Universal Basic Income (UBI&#8217;s)</h3><p>The <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/10/an-orb-a-token-and-money-for-everyone-worldcoins-ceo-on-cryptos-most-daring-project/">goal of Worldcoin</a></strong> is to create a system that will, eventually, freely distribute tokens to all eight billion people on the planet, as a form of <strong><a href="https://rumble.com/vxba96-the-case-against-universal-basic-income-ubi-by-sorelle-amore-finance-2022-0.html">Universal Basic Income</a></strong> (UBI).  UBI is already been trialled around the world from Finland to Japan and is <strong><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/money-mentor/article/the-uk-universal-basic-income-trial/">currently being trialled in the UK.</a></strong></p><p>Worldcoin has an <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/the-untold-story-of-worldcoins-launch-inside-the-orb/">audacious premise</a></strong>: AI will continue to improve and eventually evolve into AGI (advanced general intelligence), meaning it&#8217;s smarter than humans. That will spur leaps in productivity. This will create wealth. And instead of that wealth being snatched by elites, it should be fairly distributed to all of humanity &#8211; literally everyone &#8211; as a form of UBI, or universal basic income, which will empower billions. That UBI will come in the form of a cryptocurrency. That crypto is Worldcoin (WLD).</p><p>But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch!</p><p>Who pays for this? The way the system is currently configured, once you&#8217;ve signed up via an Orb, every week you can <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/the-untold-story-of-worldcoins-launch-inside-the-orb/">claim 1 Worldcoin</a></strong>. That&#8217;s the early kernel of UBI. Who&#8217;s footing the bill for this token that will suddenly appear in the wallets (or eyeballs) of everyone on the planet? </p><p>Jesse Walden, an early investor in the project and general partner at Variant, <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/the-untold-story-of-worldcoins-launch-inside-the-orb/">acknowledges that</a></strong> &#8220;<em>who pays</em>&#8221; is a good question to ask, but says &#8220;<em>I don&#8217;t know that there&#8217;s a single definitive answer right now, or that there needs to be</em>.&#8221; The way he sees it, &#8220;<em>Most startups don&#8217;t have a business model figured out at the beginning</em>,&#8221; and they typically focus on growth, and the growth of the network eventually begets use cases and value.</p><p>Sam Altman has a more pragmatic answer. In the short term, <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/the-untold-story-of-worldcoins-launch-inside-the-orb/">Altman says</a></strong>, &#8220;<em>The hope is that as people want to buy this token, because they believe this is the future, there will be inflows into this economy. New token-buyers is how it gets paid for, effectively.</em>&#8221; </p><p>The long-term and grander vision, of course, is that the fruits of AGI (Advanced General Intelligence) will confer financial rewards that can be bestowed upon humanity. (Hence the name of Worldcoin&#8217;s parent company &#8211; Tools for Humanity.) How that happens is anyone&#8217;s guess. &#8220;<em>Eventually, you can imagine all sorts of things in the post-AGI world</em>,&#8221; <strong><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2023/07/24/the-untold-story-of-worldcoins-launch-inside-the-orb/">Altman says</a></strong>, &#8220;<em>but we have no specific plans for that. That&#8217;s not what this is about, at this phase.</em>&#8221;</p><p>The <strong><a href="https://rumble.com/vxba96-the-case-against-universal-basic-income-ubi-by-sorelle-amore-finance-2022-0.html">video below</a></strong> provides a great overview of UBI.

By programming CBDC, the money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own &amp; what kind of use this money.  <strong><a href="https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/imf-cbdc-programmability-ccp-credit-scoring/">He also explained</a></strong> how institutions could take advantage of CBDC transactional data by following the model of Communist China where non-traditional data can be very useful for financial service providers to give me a&nbsp;credit score.</p><p>During the World Economic Forum&#8217;s (WEF) recent Annual Meeting, <strong><a href="https://www.weforum.org/people/eswar-prasad">Eswar Prasad</a></strong> former IMF Chief of China division, currently Tolani Senior Professor of Trade Policy at

href="https://slaynews.com/news/wef-digital-cash-block-citizens-buying-less-desirable-items/">Prasad spoke about</a></strong> the coming Central Bank Digital Currencies&nbsp;(CBDCs) and how unelected authoritarians will be able to control the public by managing the regulation of society&#8217;s spending.</p><p>Again I ask the question, does <strong>Worldcoins World ID provide the mechanism for a

of American scientist, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.</p><p>Oppenheimer wrestles with the moral dilemma of inventing a technology that could ultimately destroy humanity.   Is the inventor to blame for what the US Government chose to do with the technology in 1945?</p><p>Whilst Worldcoin&#8217;s Sam Altman &amp; Alex Blania may have an altruistic vision of Worldcoin, World ID and UBI, what if <em>other people</em> use this technology for evil?   As I have shown throughout this article, there are many world players chomping-at-the-bit to get a hold of this type of technology for nefarious purposes.  </p><p>Putting to one side my deep concerns for privacy, surveillance &amp; control there is another area that I feel deeply about&#8212; and this is the sacredness of our Eyes.  As the saying goes &#8216;The Eyes are the Window to the Soul&#8217;. </p><p>As an Iridologist for the past 30+ years, looking into the eyes of another person is both an enchanting and deeply humbling experience.   The eyes express the divine template of a person&#8212; their physical health, personality, and constitutional strengths &amp; weakness.   An experienced Iridologist can discern from gazing into a persons iris a &#8216;Soul Blueprint&#8217; of sorts&#8212; a expression of a Soul having a human experience&#8212; providing deeply personal information about a persons divine makeup.</p><p><em><strong>Selling</strong></em><strong> a scanned blueprint of your eyes in return for coins just feels really </strong><em><strong>off</strong></em><strong>&#8212; for me it&#8217;s akin to selling your Soul to the Devil!  </strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/would-you-do-this-have-your-eyeballs/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/would-you-do-this-have-your-eyeballs/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/would-you-do-this-have-your-eyeballs?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/would-you-do-this-have-your-eyeballs?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Radiantly Human &#120376;&#120362;&#120373;&#120361; &#120346;&#120362;&#120366;&#120368;&#120367;&#120358; is a reader-supported publication.

<strong>Lightrition</strong>.<br></p><h3>Nutrition</h3><p>Nutrition is defined as the process by which a living organism assimilates food and uses it for growth and for replacement of tissues.</p><p>Nutrition in insolation focuses on consumption, serving the self.  Nutrition is fixed, limited by it&#8217;s focus on materiality.  In human terms it defines the body as a physical machine that requires a particular calorie intake &amp; RDAs for health. </p><p>Nutrition has given us the food pyramid, restricting calories, food laced with fortified (fake) vitamins &amp; minerals, margarine, and a myriad of <em>stuff</em> that is sold as food&#8212; yet is far from it&#8217;s original molecular form&#8212; devoid of intelligence.  Nutrition has been reduced to ratios you need to survive, with little concern given to the source of the nutrients, life-force, and the Spirit within all things.</p><p>Based on the current working definitions of nutrition, is it any wonder that humanity is gravitating towards lab grown meats and the like.  That&#8217;s the problem with reductionism&#8212; junk in equals junk out.</p><p></p><h3>Lightrition </h3><p><strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/lightrition/lightrition-your-life/">Lightrition on the other hand</a></strong> is the holistic nourishment that nature provides for Body, Mind &amp; Spirit.&nbsp; Or put another way, Lightrition is the <strong>reciprocal exchange </strong>of <strong>energy/light </strong>from the Anima &amp; Botanical realms, the Sun, Stars, Moon and the entire Cosmos.</p><p><em>Lightrition</em> is so much more than just physical consumption&#8212; it&#8217;s reciprocal expansion.</p><p>To help understand Lightrition, let me focus on plants as an example&#8212; keeping in mind that Lightrition is so much more than plants, its actually the energy exchange of every realm of creation.</p><p>Plants have an auric field, an energy field that surrounds their cellular matrix.&nbsp; When you consume any part of a plant, not only are you eating its macro-nutrients (proteins, carbs &amp; fats), as well as micro-nutrients (vitamins &amp; nutrients),  but you are also eating its energetic qualities, its life-force, templates of LIGHT from the Sun, Moon &amp; Stars. </p><p>But it even gets better!  When you nurture &amp; grow plants yourself, touching them, singing to them, talking to them and humbling serving them&#8212; the plants respond to your energy field and change their matrix, nutritional ratios and LIGHT templates to serve your unique genetic blueprint and Lightritonal needs.  Plants conspire to LIGHT up your vital force&#8212; supporting you to thrive in Physical health, Emotional wellbeing, whilst guiding your personal Spiritual evolution.</p><p>In summary, Lightrition is the living inter-play of humans as part of something greater than ourselves.  It&#8217;s about living, eating, loving &amp; breathing through the LIGHT.  Lightrition is not just what we feed ourselves, it&#8217;s how we co-create with &amp; through nature and thrive through her Inherent Intelligence.   Lightritions unlocks the <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2022/09/unlocking-the-light-of-humanity/">LIGHT of Humanity</a></strong>&#8212; and evolves our World more Beautiful.</p><p>With my views on Nutrition &amp; Lightrition out of the way, lets now take a look at Apeel.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Radiantly Human &#120376;&#120362;&#120373;&#120361; &#120346;&#120362;&#120366;&#120368;&#120367;&#120358; is a reader-supported publication.

Our plant-based protection slows water loss and oxidation, the primary causes of spoilage.  Avocados, cucumbers, lemons and limes, mandarins, oranges, organic apples, grapefruit and mangos are listed as produce that are currently being treated with this coating.</em></p><p>The questions that immediately come to mind are&#8212; how is Apeel made? Is it safe for consumption?  Can Apeel be applied to organic produce?  Who is behind Apeel?  How can I tell if food is coated with Apeel?  Can Apeel coatings be removed? There are many many more questions (welcome to my mind &#128514;), but this is a good start!</p><p></p><h3>Deeper look into Apeel</h3><p>Back to <a href="https://www.apeel.com/how-apeel-works">Apeel's website</a>&#8212; <em>Apeel is composed entirely of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, edible compounds that can be found in a variety of foods. They are safe to eat as verified by regulatory authorities around the world, including Health Canada, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). In fact, they are so safe they can be found in products designed for the most sensitive populations, including infant formula and nutrition shakes for the elderly.</em></p><p>Considering many toxic substances, medical shots &amp; environmental pollutants are deemed safe by regulatory authorities around the world&#8212;  I don&#8217;t take &#8216;safe for consumption&#8217; at face value.</p><p>As Dr Sherri Tenpenny noted, the information on Apeels website and<strong> <a href="https://a.storyblok.com/f/157795/x/743e5a90ed/united-states-edipeel-product-information-sheet.pdf">product information sheet</a></strong> was scant to say the least!  </p><p>Considering Apeel cannot be washed off produce (not even with vinegar soaks), and there is no information available as to whether Apeel can penetrate through produce skins, understanding more about the formulation of Apeel is essential.   Plus there is a lot of mis-information out there too where Apeel has been confused with <strong><a href="/__u/krystenskitchen.substack.com/p/what-everyone-is-getting-wrong-about?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">APEEL a hard surface cleaner</a>&#8212; thanks to </strong><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Krysten's Kitchen&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:80815151,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/68dcc026-3e4f-4e9f-9eab-0be7ad6bdd7a_620x1076.webp&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;d1de9eb3-f919-4865-9b00-2c13d66a59bc&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> for clearing this up!</p><p>With &#8216;Apeel is composed entirely of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides&#8217;, what are the<em>s</em>e?<em>  </em><strong><a href="https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/apeel">Mono-, di- and triglycerides</a></strong> are composed of glycerol and either one, two or three fatty acid chains, respectively. As a form of fat they can either be saturated or unsaturated. Both mono- and diglycerides are often extracted from plant and animal sources and are used commonly as a food additive to emulsify, improve the texture and prolong the shelf life of processed foods such as baked goods, margarine, mayonnaise, ice cream, nut butters, frozen meals and processed meat products.</p><p>Digging a little deeper, I found that <strong><a href="https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2023/May/PDF/apeel-synthetic-fruit-coating-pdf.pdf">Dr Joseph Mercola</a></strong> had this to say:</p><blockquote><p><em>Mono- and diglycerides are byproducts from the processing of oil. In the case of Apeel, the monoacylglycerides are derived from grapeseed oil, which is loaded with polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), including the highly problematic linoleic acid, which I&#8217;m convinced is one of the primary drivers of chronic disease. You can learn more about this in &#8220;<a href="/__u/takecontrol.substack.com/p/linoleic-acid-health-effects">How Linoleic Acid Wrecks Your Health</a>.&#8221;  </em></p><p><em>So, basically, what we&#8217;re looking at here is a way to turn fruits and vegetables, known for their beneficial impacts on heart health, into a source of harmful emulsifiers that increase your risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. This starts to feel even more diabolical when you consider that the Great Resetters of the world are pushing to replace meat and animal products with plant foods, which they are simultaneously making more toxic and less healthy.</em></p></blockquote><p> </p><p>And diving even deeper down the rabbit hole&#8230;<br></p><p>In 2018, the founder of Apeel told <strong><a href="https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2018/02/12/Apeel-Sciences-unveils-bid-to-slash-fresh-produce-waste-with-edipeel-plant-based-edible-skin">Food Navigator</a></strong> that his company may be able to utilise synthetic biology techniques to manufacture Apeel rather than extracting its ingredients from real food.</p><blockquote><p>Finally, Apeel Sciences&#8217; board of directors includes <strong><a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apeel-sciences/people">Vijay Pande</a></strong>, an adjunct professor of bioengineering at Stanford, who also serves on the board of Scribe Therapeutics, a company specializing in CRISPR technology and protein engineering. Pande is also the founder of Globavir Biosciences, an infectious disease start-up. </p><p>So, it certainly appears as though Apeel Sciences is geared up to move into <strong><a href="https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2023/May/PDF/apeel-synthetic-fruit-coating-pdf.pdf">genetically engineered synthetic biology</a></strong>, if they haven&#8217;t made that leap already. The company is even directly connected to a company specializing in infectious disease therapeutics, and we now know there are efforts underway to turn foods into vaccine vectors.</p></blockquote><p></p><h3>Unresolved Questions</h3><p>I was recently listening to interview on <strong><a href="https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/shows/good-morning-chd/apeel-everything-you-need-to-know/">CHD.tv</a></strong> with Dr Christof Plothe, an Osteopath &amp; committee Member for the <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;World Council for Health&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:106680170,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/16ad6c42-2750-4030-aef4-de60880a9156_1200x630.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;11b7f3ab-4b2a-45f8-ae84-5e94fbb7ff55&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>.

With the emphasis here on unprocessed&#8212; including any treatment coating on the outside of foods, regardless of how marketing, hype of approvals deems it as &#8216;natural &amp; safe&#8217;.</p><p>Just because something is labelled certified organic, doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s immune from contamination.   So get to know your local farmers, chat to your local grocer, shop at your local farmers market&#8212; develop a relationship with who is growing your food &amp; their views on Apeel &amp; other such treatments.

One of this recent sharings entitled <strong><a href="/__u/aaronkheriaty.substack.com/p/rebellion-not-retreat">Rebellion, Not Retreat</a></strong> stirred my Heart.  One of those moments where your whole body says YES, and there is no denying the truth that gleams on through&#8230;</p><blockquote><p>&#8230;we are now at a hinge in history&#8212;the end of an age and the beginning of something new. Anyone who thinks he or she knows exactly what will emerge next is probably wrong. Whatever is coming next, it will be a very different world from the one we&#8217;ve inhabited since World War II. I am quite certain that many things will get worse before they get better. Our societal institutions&#8212;governmental, educational, communications, media, medical, public health, etc.&#8212;have failed us. The degree of rot in these institutions makes reform or repair, in the short term at least, impractical.</p></blockquote><p>So maybe the word &#8216;<em>cracks&#8217; </em>minimises or even trivialises the gravity of this moment.

How long it would take to compost the whole rotten mess is anyone&#8217;s guess&#8212; so that is where the LIGHT steps in&#8212; the creation of a <em>Parellel Polis</em>.</p><p>In <strong>Aaron&#8217;s <a href="/__u/aaronkheriaty.substack.com/p/rebellion-not-retreat">Rebellion, not Retreat</a> </strong>article, he shares the wisdoms of Czech dissident V&#225;clav Benda.  In the Czech context of the 1970s and 1980s&#8230;</p><blockquote><p>Benda recognized that any hopes for the regime&#8217;s fundamental reform or even moderation were futile. It was time to ignore the regime&#8217;s official structures and build new ones where human community could be rediscovered and human life could be lived decently. </p><p>Benda proposed building new small-scale institutions of civil society&#8212;in education and family, in productivity and market exchange, in media and communications, literature and the arts, entertainment and culture, and so on&#8212;what Benda called &#8220;<em><strong>The Parallel Polis</strong></em>&#8221; (1978).&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Aaron went on to note that the <strong>Parallel Polis</strong> is not a&#8230;</p><blockquote><p>&#8230;ghetto or an&nbsp;<em>underground</em>; it is not a black-market system hiding in the shadows. </p><p>As the word&nbsp;<em>polis</em>&nbsp;suggests, the purpose of these institutions was to eventually renew the wider society, not to retreat from it entirely. </p><p>&#8220;The strategic aim of the parallel polis,&#8221; Benda wrote, &#8220;should be the growth, or the renewal, of civic and political culture&#8212;and along with it, an identical structuring of society, creating bonds of responsibility and fellow-feeling.&#8221;&#8230;</p><p>The task, therefore, was to create so many of these parallel structures and institutions that the corrupt state would finally be limited in its reach: while it could crush any one institution at any time, there would eventually be too many such institutions for the state to target them all simultaneously. Elements of the parallel polis would always survive: as the state crushed one institution, two others would arise elsewhere.&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p></p><h3>World More Beautiful</h3><p>I agree with <strong><a href="/__u/aaronkheriaty.substack.com/p/rebellion-not-retreat">Aaron&#8217;s sentiments</a></strong>, &#8216;it is time to build these new parallel institutions of civil society&#8230; the Parallel Polis&#8217;.  It&#8217;s up to us to create our World More Beautiful.</p><p>That is why for the past years I have been posting <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/radiantly-human/">Radiantly Human</a></strong> articles on my website (formally Global Health Freedom over 2020-2022)&#8212; to inspire people to critically think, challenge the one-narrative, and ultimately from am expanded expression of consciousness create &amp; BE the solutions of the future.</p><p>It is also why in late 2022 that I created my <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/">Flourish with Simone</a></strong> community&#8212; to educate, inspire, create &amp; share solutions that vibrate.   A space where there is no censorship.  Where we are free to express &amp; be our real selves.  And ultimately a community where together WE CREATE the solutions (our Parallel Polis&#8217;s) in reverence to our role as the ancestors of future generations.</p><p>Whilst we may not see the full fruits of our labours in this lifetime, the only way to create our Flourishing forests of the future is to cultivate living &amp; vibrant fertile soils and begin planting our seeds.

2020&#8212; writing daily articles &amp; updating posts on my website, weekly live-streaming, speaking at rallies, setting up a health advocacy agency for healthcare practitioners, and hosting educational &amp; think-tank gatherings in my local community.  <br>Read <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2022/11/radiantly-human-welcome/">more about my journey</a></strong> &amp; read my <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/radiantly-human/">Lightbrary</a></strong>.</p><p>But even in this very public voice, never did I once say I was <em>fighting</em> for freedom.</p><p>Fighting implies there is another side <em>that I am against</em>.  And in order to ensure that my side <em>wins the fight</em>, then I need to <em>go into battle</em> to secure my future from the enemy.</p><p>However, I just don&#8217;t view the world within this model of scarcity&#8212; and as we have seen within the history of our world&#8212; there are no real winners through war.</p><h3>My raison d'&#234;tre</h3><p>Whilst I spent the first two years speaking publicly&#8212; sharing information from my heart that empowered people to think critically, encouraging fellow humans to question everything and to search deeply into their Souls to discover their personal truth away from the bandwidth of MK-Ultra-ed noise&#8212; I didn&#8217;t do this out of fear or a need to fight for Freedom.   </p><p>I (just like you) are born free.  It is my inalienable right that is inherent to my presence within this world.  My freedom hasn&#8217;t been granted to me by any person &amp; cannot be taken away or denied&#8212; it&#8217;s the contract of my Soul with the Divine.   </p><p>Hence my raison d'&#234;tre these past years was to help people discover their own inherent freedom&#8212; and together create commUNITY of change.</p><h3>New Paradigm arising</h3><p>Through deep Soul searching, questioning, and having the courage to follow the calling of  our Hearts&#8212; a New Story of Humanity is emerging.   A phase transition from materialism to holism is changing the foundations &amp; structures of our world. A new paradigm is arising that incorporates the eternal wisdoms of multi-dimensional life.</p><p>We have found ourselves asking the big questions during this transitional time, and the answers to these existential questions are what guide our enheartened actions&#8230;</p><p>Who am I?  Who are we?<br>What is the meaning of life?<br>What do we want for our future?</p><p>Sure there are those that are desperately clinging to their need to dictate, control, manipulate, coerce and even bully people to follow <em>their</em> orders.   However <em>that story</em> can only affect me is if I participate in the game&#8212; and I don&#8217;t play games&#8212; instead I live a kind, compassionate, loving &amp; engaged life with open-hearted people, natures intelligence&#8212; all guided by the Divine Cosmos.  </p><p>I also am not clinging to the old, or yearning life to go back to the way it was before.  Just like nature, change happens.  Change is essential for evolution.</p><h3>Solutions Emerging</h3><p>My energy, Heart, Soul, Life &amp; entire presence over 2022/23 has been directed toward the creation of Solutions.   How we can bridge this moment we are in?  And how can we transition with grace &amp; ease into the Beautiful New World that we know/feel deep within us is yearning to emerge?</p><p>How am I being a voice of these Solutions?   My <strong><a href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/">Radiantly Human Substack</a></strong> is a start. I dive much deeper in a body-mind-spirit empowerment through my <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/product-category/practitioner-courses/">Online Courses</a></strong>.  And my <strong><a href="https://universallifetools-flourish.community/">Flourish with Simone</a></strong> community educates, inspires, creates &amp; shares solutions all held within a nourishing space where we are free to be our real selves&#8212; away from the artificial glamour of social media. </p><p>I have been embodying a myriad of solutions these past years. I grow my own veggies. I am part of a 160+ family farm where we grow our own food, educate and are creating a village for the wellbeing of future generations.  I teach people how to grow/prepare their own medicinals.  And I teach/share the wisdoms of the cosmos that are guiding us to embody ALL that we know ourselves to be in our hearts.</p><p>I am not living in fear, but rather I embody a luminescent sensibility about this time.  We have known for eons that the systems of this world are broken&#8212; that modern day healthcare is actually disease management, education is indoctrination, and that governance of society has overtime overstepped the mark &amp; lost its Soul (if it ever had one at all).  <br><br>So here we are, the change is happening, and WE the people are creating the solutions <em>today</em> that bridge our world into the beauty of<em> tomorrow</em>.</p><p>Speaking of solutions, I listened to this insightful podcast this morning, where Dr Edith Ubuntu Chan shared her insights on education.  This episode is a must-listen for every parent who is challenging the narrative &amp; seeking solutions.</p><iframe class="spotify-wrap podcast" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8a08ee57ca4472556e8c820fb9&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Edith Ubuntu Chan: Why the Shift to a Holistic Alternative Education System is Needed Now&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;Parents With Questions&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Episode&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/4D854NUArI12h6S9NIuol2&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/4D854NUArI12h6S9NIuol2" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><h3><br>I am LIGHT</h3><p>You maybe wondering about the image at the top of this page?   I captured this photo in my kitchen this morning&#8212; my table of reverent F&#246;r&#228;dling.</p><p>I just learnt this beautiful world yesterday.  F&#246;r&#228;dling is a Swedish word that means making something more alive, beautiful, enriched, vibrant than it was before.</p><p>In a world where people have become so extremely afraid of bacteria, fungi &amp; viruses, my little space of fermentation is not just for my families health, but it is also a space to plant seeds in a new world story of revering the Microbiome of our planet.</p><p>Did you know that the Human Genome encodes for 22,000 Genes, compared with the Microbiome within our bodies that encodes for 3 Million Genes. &nbsp; Just sit with that for a moment. &nbsp; This means that 99% of the genetic material in our bodies is not our own!</p><p>The Microbiome of our Earth, the Anima Realm&#8212; the Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi &amp; Parasites&#8212; are not only an essential part of our physical health, but I also believe are an integral part of our evolutionary consciousness.</p><p>I will be talking about this and so much more in my upcoming <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2023/06/777-numerology-sun-conjunct-sirius-7-july-2023/">777 Gateway Event </a></strong>(as part of my monthly theme: <em><strong>I am LIGHT</strong></em>)&#8212;  would love for you to join us!</p><p>But for now, I will leave you with the glorious video below (I have watched it three times now).  THIS is the world that we are returning to &amp; at the same time birthing.  It is beautiful.  It is sacred.  We don&#8217;t need to fight for it, we are just called to part the veils of illusion so we can see and Flourish the beauty through us&#8212; honouring the f&#246;r&#228;dling a beautiful new story of life.</p><p>[PHOTO at the top of the page&#8212; Left to Right &amp; Back to Front:  Fresh green Veggies from the garden for lunch, fermenting Red Onion, Kombucha, fermenting Carrots, bottled second ferment Apple Cider, fermenting Chillis, Kim Chi in the crock, last of my fennel &amp; dill Sauerkraut, Honey Mead, fermenting honey, ginger &amp; chilli, Sole, Jun, Water Kefir, Fire Cider, Viili, Milk Kefir, various Kombucha Vinegars with herbs, fermenting Nasturtium berries].

places seemingly beyond our field of control.</p><p>Whilst the happenings of the last few years (still ongoing) maybe perceived as the stuff of nightmares, through the guidance of <em>Amor Fati</em> we have the capacity grow &amp; transform <em>through</em> our experiences.<br></p><h3>Origins &amp; development of Amor Fati</h3><p><em>Amor Fati</em> is a Latin phrase that translates to <em>love of fate</em> or <em>love of one's fate</em>. </p><p>It is a concept closely associated with Stoicism&#8212; a philosophy that originated in ancient Greece and was later developed by Roman thinkers such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius.</p><p>[On a side note, I adore the book <em><strong><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/29093292">The Daily Stoic</a></strong></em>&#8212; will talk much more about Stoicism in a future post!]</p><p>19th-century German philosopher, cultural critic, and philologist Friedrich Nietzsche further explored the concept of <em>Amor Fati</em>, using this exact term in his many writings.  Nietzsche&#8217;s works continue to have a profound impact on Western philosophy, literature, and cultural theory to this day. </p><p>And Nietzsche even had a profound effect on American mythologist &amp; writer Joseph Campbell, who commended Nietzsche in his book <em><strong><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35513.A_Joseph_Campbell_Companion">Reflections on the Art of Living</a>.   </strong></em>And in more recent times American author Robert Greene [I do love his book <em><strong><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39330937-the-laws-of-human-nature">The Laws of Human Nature</a></strong></em>], had this to say:</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;Through Nietzsche, I discovered amor fati. I just fell in love with the concept because the power that you can have in life of accepting your fate is so immense that it&#8217;s almost hard to fathom. You feel that everything happens for a purpose, and that it is up to you to make this purpose something positive and active.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p></p><h3>Meaning of Amor Fati</h3><p>The idea behind <em>Amor Fati</em> is to embrace and accept everything that happens in your life, including both the positive and negative experiences. It is about cultivating a mindset of gratitude and contentment with the present moment and the circumstances you find yourself within. Rather than resisting or resenting the events of life, <em>Amor Fati</em> is about developing a deep appreciation for them, seeing them as necessary and part of a greater plan.</p><p><em>Amor Fati</em> encourages individuals to see adversity as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement. It suggests that by fully accepting and embracing one's fate, one can find inner peace and tranquility. It is about focusing on what is within our control and letting go of attachment to external outcomes.</p><p>Roman philospher <strong>Marcus Aurelius </strong>in his personal writings called <em>Meditations</em>, reflected deeply on the concept of <em>Amor Fati</em>.  Marcus guided people to align their will with the natural order of the universe and to accept whatever comes their way, knowing that it is all part of a larger cosmic design.</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p></p><h3>Living the life that is waiting for us</h3><p>I have been reflecting deeply on my life this <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/2023/06/june-solstice-2023-our-light/">Solstice week</a>,</strong> through the lens of <em>Amor Fati</em>.  When I look back to the rhythm &amp; flow of my life in 2019 and compare it to 2023 it is vastly different.  I am a different person.  The world is a different place.  YET&#8230; I am exactly where I am meant to be within the grander plan of life.</p><p>Whilst I am still embracing the virtue of patience that is espoused through <em>Amor Fati</em>, I have come to a warm &amp; nourishing space of embodied acceptance.   By accepting the current state of the world my back is strong, and my heart remains soft and open to the unfoldment of beauty through me. No-thing, no-person, no-immoral politician or dictatorial &#8216;health&#8217; agency can corrupt my peace of mind or destabilise my heartful wellbeing.  </p><p>Rather than reacting or being caught up within the whir of chaos around me, through <em>Amor Fati</em> I walk a path of LIGHT.   Chaos then becomes the fuel that grants me the opportunity to learn more about myself, and transform knowledge into wisdom.   And the greater unravelling &amp; crumbling of society becomes the compost in which I can plant my seeds&#8212; seeds that blossom the becoming of our World more Beautiful.</p><p></p><p>I will leave you with these words from <strong>Joseph Campbell, </strong>a sweet taste of <em>Amor Fati</em>&#8212;</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.</strong></em>&#8221;</p></blockquote><p></p><div><hr></div><p>This Article is also published on Simone&#8217;s&#8212; <strong><a href="https://www.universallifetools.com/radiantly-human/">Radiantly Human Journal.</a></strong></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/the-love-of-ones-fate-amor-fati?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/the-love-of-ones-fate-amor-fati?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/leaderboard??utm_source=post&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Refer a friend&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/leaderboard??utm_source=post"><span>Refer a friend</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are between times... but when will our Beautiful New World be born?]]></title><description><![CDATA[I believe our Hearts have already crossed the threshold into our Beautiful New World&#8212; it&#8217;s just our mind/body requires space/time to fully integrate this truth.]]></description><link>https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/we-are-between-times-but-when-will</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/we-are-between-times-but-when-will</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Simone M.

In this moment it felt like my Heart &amp; Soul were ONE with the Sun.   I don&#8217;t believe it is a coincidence either that the latin word <em>Sol</em> [soul?] means <em>Sun</em>.</p><p>Our Hearts, our Souls, our <em>Sols</em> are the bridge that connect the divide&#8212; through us Heaven &amp; Earth are one.  They have always been one, life is about re-remembering.</p><p>We see the problems of this world as darkness in the sand.  And equally we see potential solutions as illuminated clouds in the sky.   Yet the healing from the heavens feels so high, so far, so distant from our Earthly suffering.</p><p>Yet&#8230; as we Sun gaze, as we connect the parts of ourselves we have distanced, we realise the solutions of the Heavens are being reflected down to us, within us, <em>have been inside of us</em> <em>all along</em>.   </p><p>When we let go of having to push ourselves to be somewhere or the hustle of keeping busy and doing doing doing all the time, we create space to breathe in the simple awe of the moment.   Our presence awakens. A force greater than us filters into our consciousness. The Healing starts.<br></p><h3>It&#8217;s Here Now</h3><p>Can you feel the Beautiful New World in your Heart in this moment?  A compass that infuses beauty into all that you say, do, be &amp; are becoming?  From your work in service to life, to your reciprocity with the planet, and to the love you carry both for yourself &amp; humanity&#8212; the Heart feels, knows &amp; guides it all.  </p><p>Through the heart, competition dissolves into the archives of the story built upon separation &amp; fear.   Comm-Unity flourishes in the joyful uprising of light, kindness, compassion, caring, and delightful rekindling of the Hearts flame.</p><p>We come back to the LIGHT within us.  <br>We remember LOVE.<br>We HEART.<br></p><p><em>Now is the time to free the heart,<br>Let all intentions &amp; worries stop, <br>Free the joy inside the self,<br>Awaken to the wonder of your life.<br>&#8212;John O&#8217;Donohue</em></p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://simonematthews.substack.com/p/we-are-between-times-but-when-will?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/simonematthews.substack.com/p/we-are-between-times-but-when-will?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
