2026 Overview from the Consortium – Pt. 1

Audience Q & A – Pt. 2

---

Preface: As an acknowledgement that most of you are hoping, and others near desperate, to hear what follows as confirmation that realizations of human consciousness and ‘conscience’ so far, will guide, rather than subdue persons and societies. Know that instructions to move in that direction are noted herein to do so. You are invited to assert your personal reality and contribute that fuel to the whole of collective reality. But correspondingly, these same narratives have a warning! It is about complacency and ‘waiting’ for conditions to change or realign. Instead, you must actively engage; MAKE your aspirations alive in your own life.

Live them, just don’t speak them!

As always, we emphasize CHOICE as the foundational credo, not only of The Michael Teachings, but more so as the underlying principles upon which the TAO operates on the Physical Plane. It is up to you, individually and collectively, in the tug-of-war between paradigms to struggle to install the new (Mature/Elder Ethos) or fall backward into binary (Young/Child Codes) of black or white, righteous or evil. So, hold this Context in mind as you read or listen this presentation. And, as the first slide implies, you already are ‘one with everything’. It simply feels too culpable to admit it to oneself.

 

 Post Presentation Notes in this document: I’ve added additional commentary, links, highlights, and other useful information as supporting or expanding upon the concepts mentioned herein. I’ve set them apart as to show they are addons and not fully explored, or directly perhaps mentioned in this presentation. So notice these addendums as further elaborating significant ideas, narratives (ours), events and facts.

2026 Overleaves and Forecast

Jan 2, 2026

Transcript by ZOOM Edited by Susan A. Flow

Stephen/Consortium: Let’s go ahead and begin, shall we? Okay, everyone, so thank you for those of you who are here. I appreciate your patience, my apologies, I reserve the word ‘hate’ for a few things. But I never deny it, and I hate being late. So, my apologies, and let’s just jump right in.

Welcome to the 2026 Overleaves Forecast. I heard discussions earlier about some of my colleagues and their forecasts. As you know, last year, we (the Consortium) got that it was an Artisan Year and this year is something a little different.  We’ll go through that in just a second. The theme, as you can see here, is” all Hands On Deck.”  Many of you are here on deck, congratulations, and welcome in. We have a few newcomers tonight that I want to acknowledge. John Thrasher is here a long time Michael student that I invited.  And a few newbies whose faces or names, I’m not all that familiar with. So, Welcome!

And now I want to set the context (intellectual and philosophical container) as it was presented on the first slide because Context is everything for these presentations. Remember folks, we are in the emergence of the Mature Soul era.

I found this quote from this early proto-socialist Peter Kropotkin, who said something that I felt was profound. As you can see, it says, “Competition is the law of the jungle”, of course, that’s the Young Soul’s Codex, but where we’re at in the history of the world is what he says in the second half, “Cooperation is the law of civilization.” Mature Soul Ethos.

Cooperation are interactions like this tonight, and activities like being able to connect with other people, that form those cooperative bridges that make things happen.

So, another feature of the Mature Soul era that, as we jump into this and speak about this, is something that the Consortium and I have been talking about now for a number of years, and that is, remember we are exiting the era where you could simply operate on binary, yes, no, on, off, kind of, uh, black and white thinking.

And now you are having to embrace the Mature Soul, Assimilative Axis, Scholar oriented expansionary reality that complexity is what rules the universe. Not just simple on/off, not either/or, nor good, bad, right, wrong.  It’s a continuous overlap.

And so, I found this quote by Octavia Butler who some of you know was a science fiction author and a futurist.  And so we want to reiterate what she’s saying, “There’s no single answer that will solve (y)our problems of the future. There is no magic bullet.”

You guys are creating it.  “Instead, there are thousands of answers” in which you can participate. And as you see there, she says, at least a thousand, but you have to choose to be a part, an active participant in the forward motion. And by active participant it doesn’t mean that you have to go suddenly and become weightlifters and marathon runners or anything that’s extreme.

But just rather that you put yourself in the stance (position and mind-set) of not looking backwards to see what was but look forwards. To start visioning what you can do, what you can make and how it goes from there.

So, starting this off, again, still working on Context. Many of you, of course, experience yourself, and some of you, just in your chatter a little bit, still sound surprised that the world is somehow in upheaval.

Well, we can tell you, folks, it’s going to be that way!  Most of you are right there. The fact that many of you are in your 60s, 70s, and a few in your 80s, you are going to ride the tide of seeing the world go out that way.

But it doesn’t mean that your own individual souls and what you experience in your life is necessarily going to be one of upheaval. It just means that you will be in the experience of watching it all around you. (That alone for Older Soul empaths, and their mirror neurons firing with fear and despair of the collective, is a difficult density to tolerate, let alone navigate.)

And in that, then as that sign said, maybe not the best year for some of you. But some of you have had very wonderful things happen this year. And even if it wasn’t your best year, did you learn something? … like it points out here.

Because if you did, then…you are starting to activate the gears of motion, the potential for striving forward and having other things (possibilities) come into form. Or more specifically, you come into a new state of your own being. But for sure, as the last phrase on this page says, “It’s time to adjust your stance”, every one of you. All of you; this is a dynamic energy. (Not static. You alter, change, dance, engage, and rearrange.)

Now, again, one of the things that we want to say that we have been also suggesting to you, is to remind you about the nature of the TAO.  Because we still find that many of our students tend to take our teaching as some kind of a new doctrine or harbinger rather than what we are calling a ‘large language model’ about the structure of Human Nature and Design of the Universe, that is. (Ours is a descriptive narrative for explanation, not obedience, for understanding the deeply felt possible structures of existence.)

And understand, ladies and gentlemen, the TAO basically is leaving it to you. As you can see, it says “God” here.  But, as you know, we substitute the word TAO because we want to remove any notions of gender orientation from the TAO. It is both masculine and feminine, not male and female.  But it is all a unity consciousness. (A critical point that we make frequently. Female and Male are embodied physical genders. The human mind, always relating things to concrete associations, often mistakenly anchors to bodies. Rather than to the non-corporeal qualities like: Yin/Yang, Anima/Animus, Shakti/Shiva and other historic concepts of what we have also termed Diffuse/Focus, Divergent/Convergent, and through this Channel the “Mother Instinct” in contrast to the “Killer Instinct.” Both of these sets of characteristics reside in every human being in various proportion or Masculine/Feminine Energy Ratio. They affect outlook, behavior, and the way a person will synthesize life experience.)

So, when it is observing itself, just as all its creations as you can see from the image there, it does not have a directed outcome. It experiences its’ all when it spins out itself, and what is itself?  All of creation and all of Essences.

And that’s why we say, it’s, if you will, “watching”. You can even think of the TAO itself, Ladies and gentlemen, as the upper octave of the Assimilative Axis, instead of just the Scholar being there, the TAO would be in its Exalted place. It’s watching, it’s noticing. It’s experiencing and it is recording everything. (This last process is the underpinnings to karmic magnetism and gravitation toward rebalancing and completing comprehension and thus “aging Souls”.)

It’s letting us, through collecting individual free choices and collective choices to see what we do here. Because Creation is here for IT to experience it all! Thus, there’s no guarantee of forward existence. (Extinction is a collective Choice the TAO would also experience with complete neutrality and non-bias. It is human consciousness, and the preference for life, that is the TAO’s input toward survival.)

When the Infinite Souls show up (an embodied full manifestation of the TAO in human form), they can be an inspiring factor, a motivating factor, sometimes a leading factor. But they are not saviors, they’re not rescuers, and it is still within you/us for whatever they may trigger or inspire.

Tonight, as you listen to this presentation, what we hope you bring to your hearing and your comprehension as a realization about the complexity that exists in the Overleaves that has not really been all that emphasized before.

There is a tendency to speak of them as binary. Overleaves are archetypal energies, folks. They are archetypal. And that means, from the Positive to Negative Poles, there is a vast array of potentialities; not simply an ‘either/or’ in how they show up.

And then when you look at an Overleaf Chart of, say, an individual, realize that in those life spans is an incredibly unique set of possibilities for an individual to be just that, an individual. (Or, at least, to experience things as a solo individual, conscious of the process or not. This, is by definition, the process of Soul Age evolution through the Physical Plane.)

Why? Because that’s what the TAO wanted! I doesn’t want just…, yes, you may have these archetypes in common, but how they manifest, how they display themselves and so forth, will vary.

In that variance, we want you to hear that as a “liberation”, and yes, we mean liberation, not freedom. Liberation, because liberation, to liberate or “libera” is to have the ability to move unencumbered.

Freedom is something of the mind, it’s abstract, it’s conceptual. But your liberty is what you exercise. And, in the case of the current world, what you see really up for grabs, you see forces trying to contain your liberties.

All right. So, having made that point about stereotypes and archetypes and complexity, one last point to make, to try and honor something that we know that all of you have experienced, and you can see it out there.

Folks, the more that you walk into this area of complexity your feelings of overwhelm are completely normal when you fuse the two. By normal, it doesn’t mean pleasant. It doesn’t mean you like it, and it doesn’t certainly grant you the automatic going to places of certainty, other than the certainty inside of yourself that you create by becoming deeper and more deeply rooted to your own Beingness like Janaia was talking about a little earlier.

And why this is significant is because so many of our students have expressed hopelessness and despair and this feeling of fear around the nature of the changes that are going on in the world today.

We understand those things, and we understand how difficult it can be to deal with this, and we in no way want to disparage that fear, that pain, that uncertainty.  But we often hear, “Oh, we want to hear something hopeful from you Consortium. We want to see something good happen in the world.”

Notice, you are still anchoring your hope into external events and the world happening to you. What we’d like to suggest is that truly, truly that you create hope by what you do in your world.  World meaning, literally, each of you being the center of your own inner-space that we have often called the Solo-verse; the collective joined solo-verses is the Universe, or more precisely, the Omniverse. (Multi-verse relates more to multiple dimensions and/or parallel realities.)

So for your reorientation, we’re giving you, again, this Context reorienter, is a fixer (of your notions). Where it’s suggesting to you that you have two options when you face fear. That is, the old way, which is to forget everything and run; responding to chaos through fight or flight or freeze.

Or to face fear as a signal, as a way of saying, these are the places where ‘my old boundaries, old limits, old MAYA have governed me.’ And then turn and face everything and rise to meet them.

And isn’t that conscious creation? In every teaching, in every philosophical way, every wisdom tradition, that we know not just our own, that is the Man (Person) of Faith, the manifestation of conscious Beingness.

So… having set all that into motion and having given you that as an overall container for tonight’s talk, let’s talk about our view of what the TAO has set up as a container for human consciousness to work with, in 2026.

And notice the way we phrased that, “set up in human consciousness to work with” and within (i.e.) these Overleaves. Doesn’t mean all of you are going to magically turn into Warriors, which is the Role of 2026. It’s the second year in this 25-year arc that we talked about back in late 2024, that you know, all of you are in the midst of.

2026 is a Sage cast Warrior year.  You know what Casting is, for those of you who are students of this teaching, and how we use that concept. It means literally that Warrior is the content, the meat. And that literally, casting would be the container in which that energy beams through and shapes its representation.

As you can see there, we would say that since the Sage is the archetype of communication and dissemination. understanding that is about the voice and given that the Warrior is about challenge, competency, and literally the defense of anchoring into the Physical from the Metaphysical, your voice becomes the powerful agent, for you to fight with. (The opposite, silence, concedes any power you might have had to whatever you fear, instead of what you hoped to support or see manifest.)

Now, what kind of ways will that then follow through? And of course, that means it is the Goal of Discrimination, excuse me, the Goal of Dominance, pardon me. Discrimination was what you just came from in 2025. And it was a lot of sorting going on. And a lot of rejecting, or becoming clearer about what your prejudices, biases or real principles were.

Now in Dominance, Dominance is just not about the energies of who is better than whom. Okay? Or top-down, vertical power over. Dominance is also about where you are inside yourself, how do you elevate someone or some principle or even yourself above? And or diminish someone, some principal or even yourself?  And coming to terms with that, as making yourself, if you will, the King Goal and we will speak to all of these as we go on, tonight.

The Attitude for the year will be the Pragmatist or Pragmatism here. And the energy of the Pragmatist Attitude and it’s going to go along with what you’ll see here with the Center, Intellectual in the Moving part.  And we’ll speak to Pragmatism before jumping down to Centering. Because Pragmatism is about how are you going to, once again highlight reality for yourself? (Then will your choices be truly effective or merely expedient?)

And you notice how we put it there, Pragmatism is going to take you to two place in your Goal to efficiently or dogmatically make decisions.  It’s going to take you to the Positive Pole of Realism which is Objectivism to see what is tangible, material, factual  and that is hard for many people. It’s difficult because the other aspect will arise from the Negative Pole of Idealism which is the familiar places that you hold your ideas whether you’re an Idealist in this teaching or not. (Familiar ‘fallback’ positions that a person maintains is another way of saying ‘personal dogma.’)

Idealists, in this teaching, will have a much more familiar exploration of where they naively may, by naively we mean that they’re not stupid, or necessarily ignorant, but rather that they have comfortably narrowed, their points of view, down to say, a handful of concepts, like their personal dogma, and they may not even be fully conscious of it. They may operate at the subconscious level.

It will be moving you between these Poles.  You knowing that this year, that you are being called to slide between what we called hard Realism where you can see verifiable facts as opposed to those comfy fallback beliefs.  That will be your challenge.

Now the Chief Feature, we only got one this year, and it’s both fun for some of you, and a doosy for others. And it is the Chief Feature of Impatience. You’ll see in a few moments that we emphasize here frustration and intolerance because we really see Impatience working in the Negative Pole for most people, in a reactive way.

Many of you know that within this teaching, early on, all Chief Features had been relatively vilified and told that there’s something that you should exterminate or extinguish.  And we agree that you should learn to keep them in check. You should learn to understand when, and how, they activate within you.

But ultimately, remember, Chief Features also have a Positive Pole!  And that Positive Pole is an indicator when you use a reaction to fear, which is what Chief Feature is, in a way that asserts something.

Now we move on to the Mode. This will particularly be important because the Mode is Passion. And of the seven Modes the Passion Mode is probably and/or arguably the most emotionally energizing and activating, and we use both those terms at the same time.  Enervating, as well, meaning it can grip you or it can activate you into a full sense of either Epiphany or highly charged reactivity.

And when you put them together in this mix, we want you to be able to understand that you are being invited this year to use yourself to take a stance and not be just electrified by this energy. Because if you do, you will be drawn into the Negative Poles of it which is to be Identified or attached/fixated to a certain view or allegiance. And, there is a posture, position, and dare we say, political outlook.

We’ve mentioned the Intellectual Center, which some of you know, of course we refer to a more common parlance as the Mind. So we’re talking about the Fifth Chakra. And, to some extent, it’s sliding to the 6th Chakra, the voice and the mind and it is literally the way you decide that you are going to orchestrate your understanding of things on a more conscious level.

And by the way, conscious doesn’t mean it’s particularly self-aware. It just means that you can kind of recall it. Your challenge is to utilize your mind in a very deliberative form, like you were challenged to last year with the very tough Goal of Discrimination and the very tough Attitude of Cynic. Many of you probably rung-out a lot of understanding, in that emotionally centered year, or at least a lot of uncomfortable awarenesses about yourself and other people.

Now this is, again, an Ordinal year in that Ordinal Exalted Axis, excuse me, a scale of scope.  As we use it now in our terminology as Consortium, we have expanded the meaning to mean more personal but also meaning you find these aspects first in your individual self and then how do you then turn them and contribute them out to the world.

Consortium: So, the scope is Ordinal.

Now, the Masculine and Feminine Energy Ratio. This year is perfectly balanced. It’s perfectly balanced.  That means of the aptitudes or pitfalls of both Masculine energy and Feminine energy are available to you in equal balance.

And you see our basic kind of thumbnail or distillation of it, you can choose whether to make something or to allow something to happen or to be more active i.e. thrash, swim or float.

Now, neither of these ranges is right, wrong, good or bad, in a moral sense. If anything equal balance of this will make you to be far more vigilant about which you choose and to pay attention to the consequences of your choice.

Frequency is lower this year from the 60 and 70 range, as you’ve had in the prior couple of years. Yet, it’s still approaching on the quicker side of the spectrum. But it does allow you, since it’s more to the center point, an opportunity you might find useful because it is more adaptive to work within and remain ‘centered’ instead of harried or bored.  (Often can be thought of a ‘pace of operation’ and in some cases, rate of thought.)

And that is that many of you will still feel yourself being pulled or pushed through this year by the sheer number of changes that are going to happen out there. But also the fear and the sheer number of differences in options that suddenly are very close in your own worlds that you have to make selections from. And in doing that at least you can settle in a bit with some of these Overleaves to deal with what option you want to execute. (Note: Given that technology artificially accelerates performance speeds, a medium/moderate Frequency can allow more space to pause for a breath and consider, or create, a few options that the breakneck speed of previous years might have caused you to bypass, overlook, or not even notice.)

Now, granted, Chief Feature of Impatience is always wanting to go faster, go more. You’re not like that in that stifled experience of trying to discern. But that’s one of the challenges of working with Impatience this year.

Now, the Needs of the 9 Needs that we see emphasized are in this order: Security, Acceptance and Power. We have found these three very interesting as a trio. Power was there last year, so was Communication and Community. What the 9 Needs singularly represents, all of them, is for those of you who know about the 9 Needs, you could say that they are associated with different Chakra points.

What they do is… as individuals throughout their incarnations usually choose a set of three that they’re going to emphasize, in pursuing, not exactly as a Goal, but say, as an underpinning or a footing for which will give them a sense of the best operation of their own Overleaves in their own way of being.

But these are interesting…Security being the first because of what it’s inviting you to do. The fact that all of you are presented with Security as first, because the need of Security affects the first Chakra folks. It’s literally the one that says, “How are you eating?  How is your health? How is your material, security, well-being, your safety?”   What are the ways that you experience yourself at any one given time not being so activated by fear? And by fear, we’re talking about literally threats to your personal survival and stability. We’re talking about the flight-or-flight response; or the insecurity response.

Of course, this will be big in the world, because as themes we’ll mention later, with the power discrepancy on the planet getting broader and more intense for those in the vast majority feeling stricken by that disparity, and feel it as both survival and existential insecurity, acquiring some form of “power” will be the only remedy for them.

Now, the second one then, is Acceptance in this. It’s Acceptance, why?  Well, because many of you have highfalutin’ notions of your own sense of what you must own as to feel secure. And in fact, many of you would need to come to terms with, you could pare down and live with a lot less.

And by a lot less, we’re not talking about just your material goods.  We’re talking about a lot less of your opinions, your judgments, your precepts and your sense of so-called boundaries that are really often your sense of fear, keeping other people out.  And you keep people out, because you can experience them as threats instead of allies. This especially a familiar excuse for you Old Souls. “Well, they’re Younger Souls and they don’t understand me” or “They’re just not enlightened” or whatever, and on, and on and on and on.

That is where Acceptance coming to terms with that reality so you can balance out the fear of lack. Thus, it is a bridge then to realize that your “stuff” might be the reason you elevate yourself above some or feel inferior to others, It will mean accepting yourself, saying, “You know what?  I am not so important that I don’t need anybody.”  Let’s flip that phrase around and just say, “I am literally in need of others, and I can accept them where they’re at.” And, Security is an inside job but rigorously regulating (as much as you can) what you need from the outside. (In a consumer materialistic world, it is much less than you are attached to.)

And in that, then comes the third Need, Power.  Because we want you to understand, ladies and gentlemen, that no one individual by themselves is going to be able to govern or escape the consequences of the world’s situation without being empowered by one another or empowering each other.

So these Overleaves and these challenges, and these themes are the Context in which, your personal Overleaves, and your own choices will come up and that you will be stimulated to work with.

Now of some of the things that we’re going to talk about as we explore each of these and we’ll rehash them.  We’ll talk more before we get to the place where you folks can ask questions, is that, remember, this is a Mature Soul Warrior kind of resolve and as it says on the slide here, “Stop fearing anger”, especially your own! Let alone others coming at you. Strengthen your centeredness in your own Self.

Because anger is a real and vital part of your energy system. It is a place where you declare a boundary, and you say “Enough”. And if you are being conscious and deliberate in your anger, you understand that you use it to identify what you love and value and then fight for it.

And when you fight for it, it isn’t always going to be nice. Yet it might be real and unvarnished. Yes, kindness is wonderful. It is, in fact, that the Ultimate Energy is going to continue to progress. But as this humor sad phrase has to say, “Kindness” is your go-to but know when to say, “Fuck off”.  Know when to say, “No”; “Enough is enough” and to lay down that boundary and not just participate or shrink away.

So, let’s talk about Warrior Energy some more. Warrior energy is meant to explore the mindset of challenge, competition and competence. So things that’ll be happening of high interest and high noteworthiness in your world, will be things like, issues of money and yes, the economy, but also for you as individuals.  How do you use or waste your money and where do you put it or keep it?

Issues about sex and sexuality, because Warriors are very much grounded into their body. So, when we talk about especially issues about sex and sexuality, we’re not even talking about sexual identification, that was more in the Artisan year and your relationship to it. We’re talking about more about how people are seeing just how much sex abuse is out there, and of course you all are familiar with the controversies that are going on in the public domain, about the US president.

But way more than that. It is about the fight over your own rights to how you utilize your bodies, and how you stay grounded in them. Now, in lieu of places where, call it pseudo or symbolic sexuality, Warriors particularly favor, are things like sports and contests and on those kind of aspects of competitive events or challenges that happen within your society when physical prowess and exertion is favored.

But how they’re going about, and how you approach them, you can either approach them as the Knight or the Guardian, or you can look to the Negative Pole of the Warrior energy and you can just deal with it as the Mercenary. The Mercenary is a Warrior that has no principle. The Warrior that literally fights for its own material gains. (ICE members are Baby Souls following orders to collect bodies and sew fear. They have been deployed by Young Souls to reek havoc, create distraction among the populace for purpose of gaining power.)

It isn’t necessarily even loyal but it will look to allegiances to those that guarantee its own forward advancement.  And so, these other qualities that you see that we’ve listed here under the Negative Pole Warrior in your social sphere are liable to be present. And yes, they are not going to be pretty!

Now will many of you, or any of you, be likely to be personally touched in these things, because remember, it’s an Ordinal year, that’s what we’re talking about.  Are you personally affected?  And the answer is probably not.

Oh, yes, you may have, you may because you, as Older Souls, have much greater empathy, and are much more aware of your mirror neurons and feel the vibrational shocks of these things.  Will you have ICE agents battering down your doors? No. Will you have the kind of thoughts or violences or tragedies and that sort of thing happen to you?  Most probably not.

But nonetheless, you will see them in greater quantity and still a continuation and even extension into this year. And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, as we mentioned to us, are we speaking to more than just the United States? And the answer is yes, we are.

Issues of the Russia, the war in the Ukraine, the balances and interesting shifting of alliances that are going on between right and center parties all throughout Europe. In the southern Asian continents the galvanizing of forces that are going on there. But also in technological advance. These kind of energies are becoming the foundations, empowering the surveillance state; all of the surveillance states not just the America.

Lastly, we just want to talk about this, because it’s useful to mention. We’ve said that the Mature Era may be here, but remember ladies and gentlemen, it’s had 200,000 years of development. The first 100,000 years was the Infant Soul period.  The second, 10,000 years of the Baby Soul period. And the last several thousand years of the Young Soul period.

All of them are embedded and compressed together. And they’ve had a heck of a history together. Now, granted, you’ve had Mature Souls on this planet, and you’ve had Mature Soul institutions and philosophies that have emerged and countries that are Mature Soul, even a couple who are Old Soul that have emerged.

But remember the Baby Soul Warrior ethos is still what infuses much of the regimented thinking of militarism that is out there in the world. And you’re seeing kind of a return to that. And you can see some of that. They’ll cheat, they’ll vanquish others, they’ll kill, they’ll gamble in the pain of others, aka known as cruelties and atrocities. And they will always decry that they are on the good side of authority

And in the last phrase there. It is the soldier that claims, “I’m just following orders”  and you know that that kind of obedience, and that kind of displacement of personal responsibility, is the old way of being. And that is something that has to be set into place by deliberate conscious determination and adherence to law which is what has been formed in one of the first jumps in the Mature Soul era, which happened around the American Revolution. A lot of those precepts, a lot of those concepts, were Mature and Old Soul notions sat down on paper.  Not because the United States was suddenly a Mature Soul country. But rather like what happens with all Soul age evolutionary steps is that it was a first stake driven into the ground as that progression happens.

It happened again then during the Civil War. Then again, during the Great Depression. And then after the Second World War into the 60s and 70s. And then in the 80s, it took a step backward. And then you saw that resurgence, and now these two are almost on an even keel to each other, but which one will dominate? Because that’s where the Goal of Dominance is being played out.

Dominance is the King Goal. It says you must stand and lead or you will be dictated to. And as you notice, that’s the Positive and Negative Pole of this Goal.  There is no bystandering. There is no staying silent with a Goal like this. I mean, you could literally to do that. But you invite the forces of the Negative Pole. (See this YouTube Video

Now, when it comes to pragmatists, Pragmatism, You notice that what we’re showing on this slide is we are emphasizing, unfortunately, the Negative Pole.  And understand that it is a learning method. There is nothing inherently evil about Dogma. Or being in the Negative Pole even.  But when we say unfortunately when people are in

Dogma, it is as the phrase up there says, “Same old, Same old” and it goes unchallenged.

Now there is a huge part of your population either all or is partially favoring this form of Pragmatism. Why? Because Dogma is simple. It copes with complexity through reductionism. And in doing that then, it reduces everything to these almost unconscious unchallenged aspects. And what the Positive Pole would indicate Practicality or what we also call Effectiveness, is that you move … you slide over into that Positive Pole of Realism also the King Attitude and say, “Okay, what are the facts, ma’am?” if you will. Verifiable information or events. (Some have heard us refer to this series of mental events as a product of a distilled, and subdued version of human possibility we termed “Homo Automaton”: the programmed and reinforced version of a being which has given up its conscious agency to decide, and thus surrendered, its autonomy to group think.)

If you do that, and you have the courage to say, “Oh, maybe a lot of my beliefs were based in, that I called “my truths” were actually ways that I just preserved my own personal, privileged illusions.” (Generally, the content of those opinions and beliefs are part of one’s identity. Additionally, this is the negative pole of Passion Mode – Identification to one’s group associations.)

Now are you bad, wrong, sinful? Should you be ashamed of grabbing your own personal preference delusions?   No! That is part of the evolutionary part of an individual soul. (And noticed it reveals the interlacing of the Homo Sapien need for secure membership in some tribe(s)) It simply means that, to the degree to which you want to free yourself and act more dynamically like in the Passion Mode that we’re going to talk about in a moment. It means you really start winnowing those things down.

This phrase, “Killing Knowledge and Eliminating Experience” is a bit of a warning. That since, the major energetic evolutionary divergence that happened at the end of 2024 with the re-election of this administration and therefore, the invitation that it brought in to really let loose many of the forces and many of the ways to institutionally reduce knowledge. (You all heard/read last year how many of the national websites were taken down and stripped of certified knowledge and historical facts relevant to them.)

By the way, ladies and gentlemen, we want to tell you something. No matter what you think of your American government over time the American government has worked well. The power brokers in it may have been nasty and corrupt, but not all of them. But the American bureaucracy built incredibly useful and stable institutions, many of which support you. Now they are being deliberately dismantled.

What really happened, as this conspiracy theory would suggest is that many of you just became more and more nervous and fearful. And you just started to generalize your distrust. Well, what happened last year is you got to see that actualized distrust. The laying-off of people who were committed to facts, to making sure that these bureaucratic institutions with a Social Security, Medicare, the Department of Health, and the Treasury.  Going from the Department of Defense to the Department of War. All of these we’re seeking to kill off the old concepts, and really, ultimately, very well-balanced ways of administering this massive institution you call the United States.

What it was trying to do is in the erasure of those websites, the erasure of those people who operated those things, they were eliminating what’s commonly called institutional knowledge. And that is a potentially devastating stage for both spiritual as well as social evolution. (ALL Evolutionary mechanisms, physical and metaphysical advancement rely on the expansion of information and the accounting of conditions consciously (honestly), not by a reduction, removal or denial of their existence. For those behaviors are the prevue of religious doctrines and oppressive tactics of a ruling power structure. Each is regressive. It promotes extinction through collective self-destruction.)

The next thing in eliminating experience that we just want to acknowledge is the fact that with the taking away of many of those jobs and the fact that artificial intelligence AI has been deployed so widely, … by the way, AI isn’t going to become Skynet. AI isn’t going to become HAL9000. AI isn’t going to become any of these science fiction agents which turn around and the Matrix and so forth and just dominate you. (As the book The Extinction of Experience by Christine Rosen warns, when physical trial and error learning is replaced by mediated activities which prevent them, then humans cannot learn through personal experience. Nor secondarily, can they have a specific individual contemplation about what those skills, interactions, free play, risks, and consequences meant to them, or how they feel about themselves for having been involved doing them.)

No your real enemy with AI are the business autocrats, the oligarchs that operate them, who have the power/money to deploy them into the technologies that you are being herded into. Because they are using those tools to displace people, to render people powerless, and to invite you to become complacent in your thinking. (And also, to track you.)

Many of you already use ChatGBT for all sorts of things. Is there any inherently right or wrong in it? No.  But understand that using ChatGBT, or any artificial intelligence model, is you giving over your Intellectual Center to it. Instead of doing your own critical thinking, you put it out there and eliminate the struggle for yourself. Yes, the struggle is what helped humanity strive and even thrive. Wrestling with things. And having to go through them. Personal contemplation, testing, and choosing, as opposed to simple mass capitulation.

And ultimately that is what positive pole Passion Mode invites into your space. Wrestling with the emotional confluence of the big questions with your own values and your own knowledge of what is actually your true principles and values.

But this year, and notice again, we started by showing you the Negative Pole about Passion Mode. Why? Because, as a current preponderance cross, whether you call it right, left, or I suppose even indifferent. Most people on this planet are really identified with whatever particular plans, or groups, or points of view that they consider their truth.

And when a person is identified, or another way of saying it is you’re attached. All your emotions can be poured into those. Now, again, that is not a good or bad thing. But it is something that has to be monitored. Because when that happens, and it becomes automatic, then you become almost just an automated reactive agent. (For Essence’s in the realm of “spiritual lessons” this are evolutionary trials associated with Soul Age advancement. Ideologically many can be detached at this level of discussion. But for a Personality, and its Ego identities that it conjures to cope, these can be the difficult “life choices” that one faces. On this latter front, emotions of fear, shame, guilt, hatred, and love, loyalty, and devotion all play a part. Needless to say, “attachment” is the dominating factor which sways the attitudes and actions taken thereof.)

Whereas Passion Mode in Self-Actualization, the card flipped over should, in fact, be a source of pushing yourself beyond your boundaries, like in a baby emerging from a womb continuously coming out anew.

As opposed to… you notice we have the quote around the word “self” because we’re also talking about that many of you have an ego identity, not bad, not wrong, just is, that you consider a “self” that maybe with some deeper exploration, you realize is a kind of a comfortable place for you to be.

And so with Passion Mode, it’s going to ask you really, say, “Okay, expressing my truth just like Jesus.”  For those of you who’ve ever heard of the term, the passion of the Christ.

Folks, Passion Mode isn’t just about sexual orgasm, that’s the 1970s through now New Age connotation. No, Passion was originally used as these deep, emotional wrenching’s, facing pain as you came into Self-Actualization through the higher centers. Notice we just invoked our language schema with this last statement.

Having any identity can be very comfortable and very familiar, and that’s why it’s can be a Negative Pole orientation. And that’s why it also can be very comforting. And even pleasurable to reassure yourself that you have the stable knowledge of the stable data of, “Yes, I know I am”. And everyone knows who they are, to varying degree, but it is never truly stagnant. (Our concept of Internal Monads, and the pressures they present, either in confronting new situations, or the emergent aspects within Personality, make life a dynamic proposition, and thus your comprehension and definition of Self identity.)

But it feels certain, and thus safer, when it’s stagnant/fixated. When you can go back and pet it like your little familiar dog. And have it as something that you rely upon and say, you never have to change, because you think everything is secure and familiar. Thus, challenging your own self-identities, even if they’re not self-deceptions, just identifying becoming clear of your identities. (Because they do have affect and effect upon you in the human journey.)

And here is the thought experiment that we challenge you with: to literally sit down, but… any of you know what the Venn diagram is? The Venn diagram are interconnected circles of both the individual factors but also group classifications which accurately describe some tangible aspect of being alive that are appropriate to you.

Now, you usually see, like, 3 or 4 and where they overlap, the centerpiece is considered where they merge. Right?  But each of those circles could be filled with different qualities and quantities. So, for many of you, first of all, put down that you’re “white” in one of the circles. Then put down another circle that you’d be called, quote, “middle class”. Many of you could put in another one called that you’re “educated.” Another one that you could put down is that you’re “Americans” or “English speakers”. You could also put down that you’re over 60, etc.

Realize that what you’ve done is you have identified a certain kind of group identities that, whether you consider them much or not, are very important to where you’re at in your life right now. (Without Social Security, or other social safety net programs in a number of mixed economic systems’ countries, elderly people would be in poverty, and dead sooner rather than later. The relief of collective human suffering and the preservation of dignity is a Mature Soul value. The equivocation of “worth” to the amount of money one has, are both a negative pole Baby Soul way of feeling superior over someone, and a negative Young Soul excuse for not caring about the fate of others.)

Well, if you got down and started adding dozens of circles, you could realize that you could start adding lots of identities in there. And when you do you’re bring into light how many of those factors actually have impact on your daily life and personal self concept, and the way you express yourself, then this awareness might expand your worldly sense of placement. Particularly, in light of physical plane concerns like: social standing and power over material resources. This kind of factual assessment can render a sobering clarity about you circumstances and options you have to operate within them.

So, when you’re in an Intellectually Centered year like this one, and you have Passion and Warrior energy and Impatience, basically the prescription, if we narrow it down, is decide and then act on it. Don’t dawdle, don’t dawdle!

But, in the negative poles you can also use the Intellectual Center to rationalize stalling. And you can also utilize it to make up so many reasons why you should or shouldn’t do things, but that’ll distract you. And Impatience is not going to work in your favor that way.

This is where you have to really be clear about what Impatience can and can’t do or should and shouldn’t do. Sometimes a daring act, the audacity part is absolutely necessary to break a stalemate of inaction. But it doesn’t mean you should jump forward every time into every situation. That combination is the negative poles of both Passion and Impatience working together, while abandoning use of the mind.

 

But it does mean that once you make a decision, and you’ve probably been mulling it over, then act on it. Get it done. So that means picking up the phone and calling to check on someone, or to make a connection or want to with them. Cancel the subscription, whatever it may be, do it. This is where the positive pole of Impatience can be of assistance.

Don’t put it off, because some of the energy of this 25-year arc is going to challenge you Old Souls to NOT be complacent.  Because, folks, you Old Souls can be the most complacent of all the Soul ages. We hate to burst the bubble in your self-perceived concept of enlightenment. You guys could use a little bit stepping back sometimes and realizing that just like age and senility it’s easy to quote, “Let it go.” And yet those “Letting it goes” may not really serve you. You might be simply sidestepping fearful decisions.

 

A little explanation about when you see these slides again when we post this on the web. Your Mind, the Intellectual Center, has three major functions all of which we ask you to engage consciously and deliberately for your own benefit. (Note: The Intellectual Center and Higher Intellectual Center are most closely related to brain function, but are more than this interaction. It is the use of available cognition which involves the capacity to process information (brain) and the interaction of the willingness to consider that information (mind), track how your interpret it (awareness), and whether or not you use your mind more for actual progressing into knowledge (conscious learning), or using the same features for reacting formation, which is rationalizing excuses for why choose a particular path or option.)

The first one is, as you can see, is critical thinking. Ask yourself, “Okay, what’s going on here? What are the facts? Not about what your truth about something is. Remember, we want you to use real knowledge and your own personal experiences and really winnow it down. And say, “Okay, what’s going on? i.e. real thought.

And then, if you want to create something which we hope you do, use your visioning, use your aspirations. And understand your own native patterns, how you would go about creating from this. And then go about literally doing it by creating an invention

Now, Passion Mode and Impatience lend themselves to kind of a natural improvisation. In other words, “Alright, trial and error, let’s just jump into it.”  The Warrior energy is often quite willing to do that. It says, “What the hell, let’s do it.”  And so, don’t… please don’t be afraid of trial and error failures. It’s not the universe telling you that you shouldn’t do it. No. It just means you are creating anew and with each learning, you are going to be able to hone it, get more clear and refined understanding. The result is to hone in on more practical and workable solutions to the challenges you face.

We mentioned a few times, that socially speaking, on a large scale, we’re emphasizing that as we see it, the preponderance of the human race is stuck in the Negative Poles. And as you can see there, underneath the word Intolerance is the word Blame, and that’s still really, really primary. And that’s really up.

Now holding somebody accountable is a different energy and a different standard than Blame.  It means you stand in the facts and literally say, “I might have done this, but you did that, and we want resolution, not just continued exchange of hatreds.”

And that’s a powerful place to be, and a powerful understanding of a motivation to know.  And as you can see, many are acting as part of a mob (mentality) right now. There are two mobs in the world. And they’re squaring off against each other. (Fifteen years ago, we coined a Soul-ciological term within this Teaching which paraphrases the struggle between the two Soul Age paradigms that exist now. We aggregated the collective Infant/Baby/Young Soul mindsets under the heading: the Dominance-Aggression-Competition-Hierarchy Model of Homo Sapien Evolution. By contrast, we termed the emergent and forming ethos embracing tenets of the Mature and Old Soul stages of of Human Evolution as the Conscious-Awareness-Cooperation-Sovereignty Model. Notice that the language has been expanded to incorporate the spectrum of political language of the modern era because it is in the milieu of collective governance where you can see the operation of spiritual qualities – related to each Soul Age’s level of cognizance – their “moral compass” grows from that. But to make it clear, the more mature a society/world/individual becomes, it does not erase previous lessons, nor automatically condemns some attitudes or tactics, but realizes where they fall into a broader spectrum of awareness. That would include knowing when to deliberately flee, freeze, or fight.)

So, as has been pointed out, there will be continued disharmony and dismay for at least the next several years.

Alright, so here is our view of Masculine and Feminine energy. We want to tell you folks, in the same way that we said to you all Old Souls can use a little bit more efforting and a little less complacency. Understand that when we say this 50-50 choice in 2026, you’re going to feel it more or less easy to shift to whatever side. Know and realize that it’s probably going to shift to whichever side you’re leaning or accustomed to. And Pragmatism is going to allow you to slide in there and be Dogmatic on the Negative Poles if you want to be. Whether or not it has any consequence to you, you’ll get to see for yourself.

But understand, these are the divisions of energies of the way we’re talking about Masculine and Feminine. And Nan, we know you’re going to love this.  Because you know that it’s primarily this channel that harps upon the notion that we want to make continuously clear that Masculine energy is not Male sex. Feminine energy is not female sex.

 

In fact, ladies and gentlemen, one of the things that came through us many, many years ago, through our first channel, Sarah Chambers, and then reverberated by JP Van Hulle, and also by Jose Stephens is that the majority of actual females embodied on this planet right now, are more masculine energy in ratio, even though they’re in female bodies. (And, by way of note, a majority of males are the opposite, a bit more feminine energy in ratio, as well.)

Why? It’s because, as a collective group, they were trying to bring about more openness and less of that divisiveness that you’re seeing once again revisit. And bring equality to the sexes but also eliminate that tendency for discrimination and exclusion. Which you know is a function of Patriarchy, which is masculine oriented in the way of rulership.

Which by the way, is going to make a huge surge under the heading of Dominance. And it will be up to you folks to turn around and resist that.

So, we just want to mention a few things. Many of you have talked about, well, “I don’t want to create karma”. That seems to be an Old Soul, kind of a personal interference statement that we’ve noticed through our years of teaching many of you.

What we want to tell you folks is that if you have suppressed any emotion you are also experiencing a self-karma.  You can tell yourself whatever story or whatever inner narrative you like, but unless it’s really, really factually correct inside of you, if you’re really honest with it, okay, fine. Then you may not be facing a self-karma.

But you’re in a world that’s in turmoil, right now. And many of you are carrying what’s in those concentric circles. By the way, ladies and gentlemen we want to make very clear that in this graphic which shows a male form and a female form we do not wish to communicate, or imply, that males just may have suppressed anger, grief, and pain, and females have suppressed shame, sadness and fear. We do not.

What we were trying to show here when we created this graphic was, in from our Intimacy Course talking about when two people are radiating these things they literally press out and suffuse their energy field, their auric bodies with these, and then it becomes this way of bumping against each other and not wanting to get closer or to admit to these things. (Because for most people, intimacy is a double edged sword having the unwanted side as vulnerability, as being seen in totality, ‘warts and all.’ If a person judges themselves on these same lines or knows they have done an actual wrong, then suppression is the strategy they use to protect their shame or guilt by hiding it. Not a ‘mortal sin’, but a form of Homo Sapien psychological defense against what they perceive as “threat.” Ironically, not facing or owning these types of fears, compounds the oppressive inner force and increases the likelihood that someone will act to cover-up, if not outright deceive, or project them onto another person, or group.)

So how do they then do it? They do several avoidance tactics. Silence, hiding, running to escape, “Oh, I’m not dealing with those persons. They’re not unenlightened.” Or whatever term you could say it instead of rather standing and talking it out. Or sometimes throwing a tantrum or attacking people to drive them off or eliminate the mirror which confronts them.

Those are all karmic creators, and they’re inevitable. But if you understand that karma is inevitable on the Physical Plane, and you are still part of the Physical Plane even as Old Souls but you ground yourself in the principles of love, purpose and your sense of values and those people and things that you cherish and fight for those. Then whatever karmic bonds that happen or are created they are much more likely to have formed Philanthropic ties to the future not retributional ones. (All Karma’s involve ‘restitution’, balance and completion. But the Baby Soul notion of “an eye for an eye” is only part of the range of possibilities because most Personalitie do not know, but Ego’s may fear, that the “payback” is the same as done. Emotional and thematic lessons, more subtle and not requiring the exact same actions, often make for the compensation to look different than the infraction.)

And that’s what you need to understand whenever you hear yourself have the fear statement come up to the old big karma. That’s fear. And again, face it,  face everything and rise instead of fear everything and run.

And this is one of the ways that many spiritual seekers do this one that is, by keeping quiet. If you have to sacrifice your voice to keep the peace, it’s no longer peaceful. You’re tolerating the chaos outside. And what’s happening is, is you’re finding less and less stability inside. This is how neurosis and psychosis take hold in a Personality.

So…what we’re suggesting is you might as well make the leap because, folks, this is something we’ve said repeatedly and then we think we may just end the slides here, even though we have more, and you can see them in the further. But the real system that’s in crisis and we have used the terminology of the ‘Polycrisis’, which is not just ours, but it’s been out there in the public discussion now for several years. Most of the human institutional crises and human political crises, economic crises, and everything that all happening, they’re valid and that they have effect upon you.

None of them is more pertinent, more real and more permanent and more impactful for what you leave to generations of the future of which, by the way many of you will be a part of. But that is the destruction of the game board, for Human Souls, and we’re talking about planet Earth.

Remember we said in the beginning, the TAO is standing back in spite of the popular admonitions to the contrary, how many of you want to grasp onto, “Michael said this” or “Michael said that”, or “My Guide said this”, or “Beshar said that” or whatever spiritual teacher or authority you want to reference. We’re telling that it’s wishful thinking! There are no guarantees except for the ones that you create through your participation.

All of it is Maya! Those are all part of the illusions that many of you use to back away from the responsibility of engagement. And engagement is participation in human reimagining. It’s engagement in associating and supporting tasks, ways of being or group efforts sometimes on very personal, local levels that promulgate the love orientation of community, of neighborliness of even, as we said in the first few slides, about reforging alliances. But doing so, not just for mutual protection, but for mutual principle.

And even though there are many things that we would say, in addition to this, we think we will pause, and we’ll go ahead and acknowledge that there are probably many questions out there. Unless again we have been so complete and so thorough and we’ve taken all the air out of the room and left you just speechless with either our brilliance or through this Sage’s ultimate, what shall we say verbosity?

Anyway we want to turn it over to you and opened the stage for questions.

Part Two: Questions and Answers

Consortium: Lori Gilbert raised her hand, so we’re going to view Lori first. I’m going to try to figure out how to work the new version of this ZOOM program.

And there she is! Wonderful, thank you, Lori, for coming on board! And there’s stalwart and loyal Brad in the background. All right, my dear, so since you two scholars came forward, your question first, take it away!

Lori: (Summarized) Okay, I’m going to go way back. So, like…30 years ago, I asked you about when the alien disclosure would be revealed to humanity. They said 2025… I went down a rabbit hole in 2025 looking at myself, both Brad and me.

There’s a whole lot of different interpretations about why humans are here. They are different than the Michael teaching but some of them overlap.

And I found it, real interesting that there seem to be some people who know how to get out of this karmic cycle. And I don’t mean that they go through the entire Soul ages. It’s just like they’re here for some of it, and then they decide to not be in it anymore. And there have been a lot of, like, other teachings. Robert Munro describes several beliefs. (please listen to the recording for full description) So I had to guess my question is, what do you think about all this? If I can only be more specific, right?

Consortium: So, we just want to acknowledge that in many ways Lori you’ve been very specific.  Obviously, many of the factors that you have said, we would tell you that rather than agree or disagree with them, we don’t see that reality in this Universe.  And we would even say, as our tendency for Warrior nature is to be blunt or bombastic and say it’s wishful thinking.

Because notice what it is. All of these descriptions describe an out. They describe an escape. They describe a way of rationalizing inaction and avoidance.

Lori: I was looking at that. Probably. That’s what I was looking for, I think.

Consortium: Yeah, and what we would tell you is, if it makes anybody, like any kind of spiritual investigation or adherence to religion. If it gives anyone aid and comfort to live their lives. Really aid and comfort, then bless them.

We say they can have it, right?  We don’t need agreement. We don’t need them to validate or suggest that we Michaels and our teaching is some Absolute in the universe.

That would be Dogma. Our teaching has never been a doctrine. There’s no commandments, and there’s no sins. It is a structure that suggests ways that you operate. We do say, as you know, that we hope for every human being on this planet to have more love, more peace, more experience of joy here. More of a sense of personal empowerment to operate in this life in whatever way they wish. Without however, imposing themselves upon others.

And that, in and of itself, will be the precepts in which we hold all this. And not necessarily some supreme way of being, acting, or holding a superior view over anyone. And so, again, these precepts rather than go down, if you’ll forgive the expression, the rabbit hole of trying to suss out all of their salient points or disprove them we would simply say that is not what we see.

And if it served the purpose that we just described to you, helping to raise your vibration, give you joy, help you operate your life, live in less fear, live in more love. Live in an experience of even more awe for the universe  and all that’s in it. Then we would say, “Bravo, go for it!” If that’s helpful at all?

Lori: Well, um… When I was a teenager, I used to be shown things in dreams from my guides, and one of them was called the Lydian Council, and then you talked about the entity Lydia years later, and I’m like, whoa!

Consortium: Yes! Lydia is one of the Consortium here. She is, in fact, she is our… you might think of as our closest equivalent of our Essence Twin, as Entity to Entity.

Lori:  So I’ve been a member for my whole life, I guess you would say. They told me when I was a kid that my mission was to learn about the Earth. And in my job, I do that. I’m seeing some of the things you were saying about all the oligarchs this past year, instead of looking to try to create sustainability anymore, they’re turning towards just adaptation. And that does not give me a lot of hope and joy.

Consortium: Yes. And that’s why we said Lori earlier on tonight is that one of the pivots that many of you will really have to consider for yourself is that hope is an action. The actions you take, the determination…Yes, on occasion, something can happen from outside that may boost it.

We’re not saying those infusions are wrong or anything. But for those people who by default, are passive, and pretty much 80% of the world’s population tend to default to passiveness rather than activeness. We’re saying that many of you have to use some Masculine energy and learn how to create hope actively.

In doing so place your energies in the things that you want to see made happen.

Lori:  Yeah, I’m trying to do that right now, I’m trying to get another position at my job that would be lateral, but I would be the chief editor of all the communications that come out of the Air Resources Board. I haven’t applied for that. So, wish me luck. Please.

Consortium: Wonderful. And continue to find ways of how to do that. And yes, so… Sarah, you’re gesturing.

Sarah: I’m the gatekeeper.

Consortium:  You’re the gatekeeper, so are you trying to communicate?

Sarah: You asked me to be gatekeeper, and I just want to let you know, I don’t know if Mike Huttinger or Susan Flow raised their hands first, and then Karen just raised hers. I’m just giving you a head’s up.

Consortium:  Okay, thank you.

Lori: Yeah, go ahead, I’m sorry. Thank you for answering my question.

Consortium:  All right, thank you.

Sarah: Thanks, Lori. Really good info, and I think a lot of us can relate to what you’re experiencing.

Lori:  Good. Thanks.

Consortium: Alright, so, um, uh, forgive us, Michael, Susan, and Karen, if we just pick one of you. And, well, we don’t know who’s next. I think Susan was next, though, so Susan, go right ahead

Susan: No, no, Mike was first.  I couldn’t find the hand thing.

Consortium:   Oh, aren’t you such a good Server?  She yields!  Okay, go ahead, Mike. And then we’re coming back to you, Susan so don’t hide!

Mike: I was going to yield to her. Well, I look at the things that have impacted me this past year, and there really hasn’t been very much. I skate most of it. Like, probably the biggest change is the sandwich I get at Safeway is now $7, and it used to be $5. I’m looking at things that I need to take a stand for, and I know it’s not sandwiches.

Can you give me an example of something I might need to take a stand for? And I realize it might be a stand for somebody else, and there doesn’t seem to be much happening to me.

Consortium:  Mike, thank you. That’s an excellent question, but in your question, you’ve even given yourself a few of the answers. Look to people in your community and / or groups in your community that are trying to take a stand for others.

If you recall earlier last year, Stephen was talking about his own ventures into volunteerism. And we’re suggesting that for every one of you. You don’t have to be heroic 50-hour-a-week volunteers to anything.

But if you literally place yourself in action with other human beings, doing things, even if they’re small things that made a difference to promote love, healing and the relief of pain. Those things, or… also, on the other side of the extreme, is be proactive and exert some energy getting involved with whatever groups that are petitioners and campaigners. Much like a Julian Elliott, who’s on the call tonight. She’s a very active participant in things,

And you would be… the kind of things we’re talking about are healing on the feminine side of the equation, but your activity with them would certainly be exerting some energy.  Or you could go for a full exertion into a masculine side.  Whether it would be… whether it’s picketing or writing letters, or even doing things on the smaller edge, which be walking around your neighborhood, picking up garbage.

Any number of things that raises your presence, your involvement, and participation on a human-to-human level.  It’s all beneficial, because you’ll be building bridges, you’ll be participating in alliances, and you’ll be making things actually happen.

And what happens is it begins its own momentum. It’s interesting. You’ll find that one of the people that you participate with one of them will say, “Hey, we’re going out for coffee, you wanna come?” And then you find yourself slowly but surely finding common ground with people who may not necessarily have different, particular politics, but may have completely different worldviews or have none, really, to speak of.

But the fact that you cross-pollinate, the fact that you interact, and the fact that you’re doing things together as citizens…

That’s a term we want to point out here, ladies and gentlemen, is that when the United States was formed, it created a concept that never had been actively explored before. And it’s an Assimilative, Mature Soul concept called “citizen” which is a participation in your own governance, a personal sovereignty.  Not necessarily like being the county assessor or something. But voting, the idea of actually being part of the decision-making process. That had never been here before, and this experiment is being challenged now, and it’s being challenged as a way of trying to turn back the tides of Mature progress and into the Young top-down control. From mutual to privileged.

So doing something that shows your citizen agency. It can be any number of things. And we would invite you, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, to put your emails and phone numbers in the chat. And we will send out the chat for those of you who are interested in it to connect with each other.

And here’s another thing, by telephone, not by text. Forget even emails, unless there isn’t a time to talk by telephone. Your voice is key this year. The sound of voice is cornerstone for impact this year. Not just doing the same old, same old social media and texting and all that kind of thing. Because that is a way of staying immune and separate from each other rather than participating with each other, because a conversation is much more dynamic. And there’s many more nuances, because you hear a person. You get the emotion, you hear their hesitancies, or their vehemences, and so on.

So we’ll send that out there at the end of the evening, or excuse me, at the end of the time we finish the transcription, we’ll send that out as a link to everyone as a file.

So, Mike, does that give you a least some feedback on what you were asking?

Mike:  Oh, that’s a great answer. I got all kinds of places to go with that one!

Consortium:   Oh, wonderful. Good. Excellent, thank you. So you’re complete, so we’ll can move on to Susan? And then Karen, and then Janaia.

Mike: Yes. Yes.

Consortium: Okay, Susan Flow, You’re going to get a shot.

Susan: Okay, thanks, Michael / Steve. This year, are the energies coming through any particular Realm? Are we still in the Techno Realm like we were last year?

Consortium: In the Techno. You’re going to be in the Techno Realm for the arc of this 25 years. But there will be secondaries. But as far as secondaries, for this particular year where you can call in some assistance, the Fairy Realm is available.

Fairies are desperate to help you guys, for those of you who are gardeners, who work with wildlife, who help clean up the planet, who work on projects that deal with healing or cleaning the water.

Those of you who know professor Masuro Emoto and his book “The Hidden Messages in Water, he talked about the vibrations in water. It’s not just going to meditate with water. It’s getting involved in real-world programs that are trying to clean up waterways. And or fight to not allow them to become sewage dumps once again.

For all of you, I would suggest, if you’re going to practice your screaming, scream for the renewal of the of the Clean Water Act and make that an absolute top priority. And galvanize it such that it even connects with people who were otherwise support Donald Trump. Not because they’re necessarily MAGA but because they committed to him, and they don’t know any different now.  They realize, “Oh my god…”. But yes, go in there and do that, because clean water that is not a political issue. That is an Earth survival issue.

And the Fairy Realm is looking for allies. And to the degree to which you guys put yourself in that energy to support what they do, because the fairies support all of nature, of animals, and basically they’re more or less the closest parallel to the Earthly Realm, which is all you guys.

So, go out and make little shrines. So, it is the easiest way to go that helps support the Fairy Realm. Three things, put out a birdbath, put out a bird feeder, and find a way to make it so wild animals can get through your fences without necessarily worrying about your domestic animals. Figure out how to support life and the Fairy Realm will also in turn.

And we realized, Susan, for instance, that you are an adherent of flowers. Okay? Now we really, really appreciate that. And just as Lori put in the chat the degree to which you turned that interest into creating sanctuaries for pollinators is a HUGE gift to not only Earth itself but to the Fairy Realm.

Because to the Fairy Realm when those pollinating plants are present they have an environment that they can beam out to all these creatures from miles around. Because notice a lot of pollinator areas have been obliterated particularly by building or roads and stuff like that. Well, if they can be reintroduced, the Fairy Realm will help bring those pollinators back, and that’s good for the entire planet.

Susan: This is my realm, I’m up to my neck in it, and I love it.

Consortium: Good. Oh, wonderful.

Susan: Thank you. Thank you very much.

Consortium: Certainly. Absolutely. All right, Kerrin, our resident King.

Kerrin: Hi Stephen. So glad it’s no longer a King year.  My question… So, I’m going into this year positive because I just see MAGA crumbling and we have the benefit of a whole cast of characters that are not Mensa. They’re really, really, really stupid people.  It’s like a facade that’s crumbling.

So I’m positive. I don’t think we’re going to be a fascist dictatorship, and  I wanted to bring up something that was really inspirational that happened yesterday, which was around Mandani being inaugurated as New York City’s mayor. And Bernie Sanders swore him in.

And it seemed like not even that, a year ago, that no one would ever think that the progressive movement was going to get any momentum. Who was going to replace Bernie? We had AOC. And then all of a sudden, you know, Zoran sort of appears out of the Fairy Realm, or wherever he came from.  Donald Trump has a man crush on him.

So I just wanted ask the realm, is this a sign progressive ideals moving forward, and getting a foothold? Because, if we can get them to turn around New York City and make, like, really positive changes. That’s going to shift across the entire country.

Because everyone’s like, “Oh, it’s socialism, it’s communism”… But if he actually pushes some things through it could wake up a lot of people to the reality that democratic socialism is a pathway to a resource-based economy, or just something that’s for people for change, instead of the oligarchy.

Consortium: Well, glad that, first of all, that you’ve adopted a positive place. The Cynic year last year was really hard on a lot of people. But as we said, we gave the example of people who used it to ring things out. And there’s use in that.

And so, the fact that you find hope in this, and the fact that it’s picking up for you, is excellent. Is there a movement for that? The answer is yes, because what they’re also seeing is that in the release of a lot of different layers of information, but also the removal of information that people once could have access to, whether it was job reports or even accurate weather from NOAA and different departments and so forth, And then hearing about all these people, these real awful people getting pardons, that even some MAGA folks were like, “What!!?”

All of those things were poison, in it’s a water, so to speak. That’s the hubris of that kind of totalitarian thinking. It is not over yet. No, it is not over yet, you called them the brologarchs, as some people have named them. Which is slightly humorous. Unfortunately, there are also billionaires who stand either in the middle or even to the left, who are also willing to exert some energy now.

But to a great extent even the structure of having been billionaires with Elon Musk, a trillionaire, is totally devastating to the planet, let alone to human forward motion. The very fact that they’ve gotten this far is like a cancer that’s out of control. Because you can’t have that much inequality of power, control over our imbalanced resources and have a system that functions. It eventually collapses, or goes to war with itself, and then is crushed under that.

Now the answer: is the fight is still on! Did you guys make headway in the trenches? You did. Because a lot of you said, “Wait a minute, let’s get by a lot of the hype and the hoopla and see what actually happens.

You know, the folks who are being afraid and hanging on for dear life who may still call themselves MAGA, okay? That 10% of the population? They’re beyond help. There, they are not going to be convinced.

And so what we’re literally telling you is you could just let them go! Don’t even address your energies to them. Instead, focus energies on bringing out facts, working on making personal connections, and even people who did vote for Donald Trump. Find the places where they’re human again. And say, “Is this really working for you?” And of course, you’re seeing it. You’re seeing it, literally in so many places where they are throwing up their hands and are going, “My god, he screwed us over outright”.

And it’s unfortunate because the arguments that he used that were very bigoted, very, “Oh, we just need to get rid of foreigners, and homosexuals and put women back in pregnancy, and in the home” and all that kind of stuff.

It worked for a lot of simplistic thinkers, as you call them non-mensas. We like your characterization, by the way. And that’s, that’s both our approval and the Sages’s, so good show!

Anyway the fact that many of them are still desperate to believe something. That’s what we talked about with the dogma energy, they’re going to hold on for dear life. And for them many of them will rise to mob-level activity. And what’s interesting is, is that while this current administration and the “brologarchs” will try and harness that, it’s too shaky. It’s not steady enough. And when this next election cycle comes we think there’s going to be an enormous amount of scrutiny about how these elections are conducted and we think there will be cheating. But we think it’ll be caught, and it will trigger an eruption event. Whether that’s outright fighting, or a tremendous amount of protesting on the streets and so forth.

But that kind of energy will be good. That’ll actually be good for the kind of thing that you’re talking about, staving off potential totalitarianism.

John: “Not Mensas, Densas”.

Kerrin: Thank you, John, that was a good one. Yes, that’s very good. I’m going to steal that.

Sally: I have to leave, so I want to thank you, Steve, and thank you, everybody else. It was nice to see you. So, bye-bye!

Consortium: Alright, Sally, well, thank you for coming, lovely to have you.

All right. So, you feel complete, Kerrin?

Kerrin:  One just quick question. Do we have to… so, Troy channeled Mamdani. He’s a 6th-level Old Sage… magnetic Sage, King cast. Is he in danger? I get really nervous when I see him riding the subways, and he’s out there. He hasn’t done anything to upset the New York elites yet. But I just get worried when I see him. Things are reckless. And 6th level. 6th level anything.

Consortium: Yeah, Yep.. Yeah I know, that’s much more targeted. Right, I mean, the 6th level tends to attract, chip, in a very technical terminology, right?  We don’t see him dying but we see him really being the object of attack. And not just physical, but courts and such.

Kerrin: Okay,(comments about bosses beliefs etc.) Thank you. You can go on to Janaia

Consortium: You’re welcome. Thank you. Alright, Janaia. Go ahead, please.

Janaia: Thank you, Stephen, and thank you to Michael. One of the flavors, themes running through this past year of tumult, came up again tonight. It’s about the search for truth, fact, what I’ll call data and particularly the facts. And a place that I’ve seen it and I’m interested in Michael’s response about the value of that is MAHA making America Healthy Again.

The efforts of Robert Kennedy Jr and others in the HHS to try to get down to facts and data that have been suppressed decades. Regarding some pharmaceuticals regarding things like the mRNA vaccinations for COVID.  Regarding things like some of the vaccines. And I say that not as a pro or anti-vaxxer, but simply more my interest is having the kind of turn that data that’s been suppressed, that knowledge that has been suppressed is being pressed forward to the people. I’m seeing that in the MAHA larger movement, not just with HHS. Is that a fairly accurate perception? I guess that is my question.

Consortium: It’s hard to parse that statement, because if you were implying some kind of government suppression and or corporate suppression prior to this, we would say to you is that the information was out there. It just wasn’t necessarily as publicized.

Janaia: It was known but not made clear to the public, and thus not acted on in policy.

Consortium: Well, yeah, and much of the public willingly, willingly didn’t investigate. They didn’t want to know, because of the old tendency toward oversimplification. And it’s fun! It’s fun!  Yes, and we mean it in the common idea to claim that one has knowledge that they think is sacrosanct.

Also, with Robert Kennedy Jr. there’s a Mature King who is bizarre. Some of his so-called philosophical or ideological standards we don’t think he’s promoting public health at all.  We think he’s flooded and monied things in the name of his particular belief system. And also stirred things up that are equally marginally factual.

Vaccines literally have gotten the human race to this place. Not been detrimental to them. Are there portions of the human race that have adverse effects to vaccine? The answer is yes, of course. And many of them are documented in various levels of academia from around the world. Academia being the extension of the Scholar energy on the Earth.

It’s not to say it’s the only thing. And it’s not to say that it’s invalid to have some concerns about the tendency of this era of history to do all or nothing broadcasts, “It is the truth…” And then either completely just crush other factors and other inputs.

But when the internet came along, until now, until they instituted internet Web 2.0, a lot of information was available out there, including contradictory information that if people then did further research they can find out where the contradictions lied and decided for themselves.

So we agree that the idea of making America healthy again is a very good thing. And some of the things he says about processed food, and the way that human beings eat, and the way that it’s been marketed is actually true. And yet when you look behind his fortune much of that of course, he inherited from the Kennedy family and his father. If you look behind some of his own associations he’s got plenty of investments that are making money off of those things that he is decrying.

It’s the hypocrisy of speaking out of both sides of his mouth because he wants the followership that his father had. But of course, he’s not getting it near the same way, or from the same group. He’s got now a voice, and that’s what Mr. Trump promised him. He threw his Kennedy name behind him.

So as far as making America healthy again, the first thing that we would say to every American out there is just two words, “Eat less”. And then next, three words would be, “Eat more simply”.  And a lot of health problems would go away, whether they be obesity, or diabetes, or so forth,

But the complexity of the human environment has given rise to the discovery of syndromes, diseases, autoimmune conditions that have risen because of the way humanity has treated this planet and are far beyond just eating, or what drugs or vaccinations you take.

So why the idea of making America healthy, again, we would completely agree, it would be very useful, given how obese and drug-dependent that this culture is, that the idea is good.  But its implementation under Mr. Kennedy we can only see hypocrisy there, and a lot of provisional, what’s the word, we’re saying here, deceptions.  That is he’s talking out of one side and doing a lot of different things along with his subordinate, “Dr. Odd”.  So, between the two of them the circumstance is not improving unfortunately.

And when we harken back to the amount of information that is being literally suppressed, look at the intimidation that’s being applied to institutes of higher learning, colleges and universities. But also the funding that’s being taken away from scientific organizations. That is a form of knowledge suppression, either A, by intimidation or B, by defunding their abilities to continue to do their research.

That’s knowledge elimination, that is a tactic of totalitarianism that’s increasing, not decreasing. So, then the problem with knowledge is when knowledge has been forgotten, it takes long time for it to be restored.  Now fortunately, there are a lot of people out there who hold the knowledge and can reintroduce it.  But, when it is institutionally removed then the fear of reintroducing it is much greater.  And that hurdle to get over that, it takes a Warrior kind of mentality to meet that challenge.

So I hope that’s been at least some useful quality of an answer to you.

Janaia: Thank you.

Consortium:  Certainly.  So, folks, we don’t see any more hands up. Is anyone else curious or wish to take some of this last 10 minutes to pose a question.  Or again, have we either overwhelmed dazzled you, or just bored you?  Okay.

Phil: I’m here.

Consortium:  I’m sorry, did somebody raise a… oh, Phil, okay. Sorry, by the way, in case we didn’t mention it, folks, it would be very useful to use the React Buttons. The React buttons have a raised hand, kind of thing, or a flap, or something like that, that we just gave you one. And so it’s useful to use those, because I can see those, whereas I can’t see all of your faces, if you raise your hand.

So, Phil go right ahead and there’s Jillian, we see her next, so go ahead, Phil.

Phil:   Yeah. So, my question has to do with in maybe a different context, you mentioned that in 2026, there’s a need for us to raise our vibration. And ever since then, I’ve been thinking about what practical things can we do to encourage that.

Consortium: Great question, thank you. First of all, ladies and gentlemen, the tool we use, is the Vitality Tone Scale. That’s on Stephen’s website. You can download it for free; you can look at it.  The measure of your vitality, both physical vitality as well as emotional vitality, as well as intellectual clarity and spiritual connectedness.

Sometimes, folks, a lot of concepts of spiritual connection is that you’ve gotten through your Eastern dogmas can be just as how should we say it, distorted?  Because they came through the attitude of Spiritualists, so that they could be lofty and kind of fluffy.

How do you really raise your vibration? Three ways. Number one: use your body every day to do something that exerts energy, and that you replenish it with good energy, like that eat less but get better non-processed whole food. That’s number one.

Number two: as far as raising your vibration emotionally, go out and do things that you know bring you happiness. Now, clarification, folks. Happiness and joy are not the same thing.  But happiness can be a steppingstone to joy, but joy is far overarching. Those people who love life have joy, and yet they may be sad many days. Why? Because they can see that what’s going on in the world is hard, is devastating.

But also, what is happiness? Happiness is often real conditional. And so if you go out and do things that make you happy, that’s okay. Those are conditional things that at least give you a jolt.  Sort of like taking a sniff of happy cocaine, okay? without the drugs.  Alright, that’s another useful thing.

The third thing is go, create hope, in the way we said it. What you will find is when you create hope and you find other people, who are co-creating with you, it begins to build an energy field. That energy field then turn literally is like standing in a bubble. And when you stand in that bubble, there is a radiation that happens, and it begins to sustain itself even more, and it begins to project out even more, and it begins to lighten or levitate, perhaps, is a better way of saying it where you’re at on an average daily basis, average daily basis.

Because, folks, this is not about meditating yourself into some state of Hermitage Enlightenment. It’s not. This is about active engagement in the creation of a future that you envision with other people.

Those three things, Phil, are the way to do it, and do it to the best of your capacity. You don’t have to be heroic; you don’t have to run yourself into the ground to do it. But the more that you do those kinds of things. What’s ironic is the more you will find it that it becomes self-feeding and self-sustaining.

When people start collapsing backwards into themselves in the way that we talked about earlier their vitality begins to shrink because they’re not getting fed through interaction. The physical plane is not here for you to go through alone. It is here to do relationship.  The Mature Soul era is all about relationships. (Interactions with others.)

Kerrin, we beg to ask you about the giggle that came up for you when we said that?

Kerrin:   Sarah is what I’m laughing at.

Consortium: Sarah is what you’re laughing at. Alright, well, good.

Sarah:   I’m the Angel of Time.  I see two people with their hands up, and I just want to make sure that you’re Sage allows them to ask their questions and get a response. That’s all.

Consortium:  Thank you, Angel of Time!  She is a good one at that. (Laughter…)  So, alright. So, let us ask you, Phil did that answer your question?

Phil: Thank you. Yeah. That was a great answer, thank you, that was really good.

Consortium:  Good, so we earned some of our funds tonight. Wonderful, thank you. Jillian, you’re up next and then Kathryn. Jillian, you’re still muted, we’re not so good at telepathy yet.  😊

Jillian: The thing that I’m curious about is I don’t think that the current president is going to make it through his term, and probably not the next year, and I’m wondering If we had a transition to the vice president, would we  be able to avoid a war with Venezuela?  Which it looks like we’re heading toward.

Consortium:  Okay, first quick answer, Trump, he’s here for this year. It still looks like much or a good part of 2027 he’s still here. But we don’t see him in 2028. And he might even be taken out by his own people before that, because they want JD Vance, because J.D. Vance is far more a puppet. And he is coherent…,

Jillian: He’s a predictable puppet

Consortium: Yeah, and he’s coherent, and he knows who his masters are and he takes orders from them.  And he has a way of, at times, of sounding conciliatory, and sounding sane.  That will then lend a certain degree of stability to a certain number of people.  But yeah, he will do what he’s told.

Because it’s not just oil that they want in Venezuela.  They’re trying to destabilize that entire area, in the same way that the mid-level presidents from Jackson through to Polk wanted to take over Mexico.  It’s this empire expansion thing again.

But now the technological push between the brologarchs is they have tons, tons of rare earth metals. And on this continent, it’s probably the biggest deposits of them. And since the Chinese control the biggest, rare-earth deposits in the world and just dole them out at high cost, the American empire elites hate that. And it’s not because they’re communists of anything. They’re super capitalists, because they don’t have to deal with a democratic system. Right?

So with the likelihood of going to war trying to exterminate Venezuela where it will backfire on them is the entire, virtually the entirety of South and Central America will unify against. And that will then tend to escalate unfortunately, violence before it subsides.

Jillian: Okay. I’m actually very optimistic about 2026, I think. We can get a critical mass of people who are distressed and upset and will take action even if it’s just going out on a march.

Consortium:  We agree, the energies as if we haven’t conveyed that tonight, we hope we have that optimism is a deliberate choice. It is a deliberate choice. You may be assessing it by taking stock of the facts. That’s completely legitimate, but it’s a choice, folks. Optimism is just not high in the sky happy hopey-ness. That’s usually emotional self-delusion. But Optimism said, “No”, there’s enough of those pieces that, like Octavia Butler had mentioned there’s enough of those little gears in play that they’re lining up to actually start moving in that direction.

Jillian: Okay, thank you.

Consortium: Certainly. Okay, I guess, Kathryn, you’re the last question. Unless the gatekeeper tells us there’s somebody else. No more new questions folks by the way.

Kathryn: Okay, uh, I wanted to get back to the Overleaves. I had a question about the Needs.  I wondered when, the three primary needs of the year are… two of them are the ones that you share yourself. Does that mean that you will be extra aware of them, or extra needy?

Consortium: Extra needy!  And because you’re a Michael student, and you know what they mean you’re extra aware of them.  By needy too it means you’re going to scrutinize them more. And let’s face it, you’re a Scholar. You’ll dig things down to the 9nth degree. You and Joe will be measuring your garden for each inch of growth, because you’ll say, “Oh, that’s another day of food’, things of that nature. And we don’t mean to sound… yes it’s a little humorous, but we don’t mean to sound pejorative in any way, we mean that kind of awareness is heightened.

And that’s a good thing. We hope for all of you, you have that level of heightened awareness.  And what the benefit is of, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, of having a high need of security, on the positive side of that, if you want to call it the Positive Pole of that is that you have stability. You have the potential for reasonable abundance underneath you. And that’s a great thing.

But there is those and you all know them, there are many in this teaching, “Oh, the universe is abundant. It will take care of me” and they don’t do anything to really look to their material well-being, their budgets, the way that they deal with their assets. They’ve got credit card debt all over the place. And they’re thinking pie in the sky.

Well, a lot of those folks are the million that just got laid off in the last two months throughout the economy. And they are shifting their pants. And they have a good right to be, because with what we’ve called the overwhelm of business-driven AI these corporate owners, and oligarchs are saying, “Good, we can now hand over to AI what a person used to earn income and pay their bills with. And WE get to collect that profit!”

Now, of course, that sounds very good, because as long as they also operate the stock market they can live under this…hugely sustainable for them mass delusion, until there aren’t enough people at the bottom, actually buying all the products keeping the structure stable, and it begins to collapse. And you see the French Revolution all over again.

Kathryn: So if I may just summarize, with security. I have two choices. I can either fear losing my security and be really frightened by it, or I can try and make sure I focus on making sure I have everything, all my ducks in a row, to make sure that I remain secure.

Consortium: Yes. And in your particular case, the two of you have worked really hard to set those up.

Kathryn: We both have that need.

Consortium:  Yeah, but the point is, we’re talking about the energetic vibration of security. It’s a First Chakra thing. It is meant to feel solid with a density of cohesion and thus stability and strength. And so, when it’s out there for people some of the symptoms of it folks, everybody, you’re going to be much more aware of your bank accounts. You’re going to pause when you have an impulse to do something. Unfortunately, many of you are going to say, “Oh, but Amazon is cheaper” . Well, yeah, but you’re going to be still pushing the imbalance even further by doing that.

So we’d say, find as many local sources or learn to do without a lot of the stuff that you just automatically use to soothe yourself. That’s a good way of achieving acceptance with security that we talked about. By the way, that will give you some power.

We’ve gotta tell you, folks, if a million people stopped buying from Amazon, the stock market and Jeff Bezos would take notice immediately. But most of you are so like, “Oh, I found it on Amazon, I found it on Amazon” you’ve been conditioned and you participate with your own downfall.

Is it right, wrong? No, not really.  But what effect does it have? It does. So…

Kathryn: Thank you.

Consortium: You’re very welcome.

Well, folks, we want to acknowledge that you’ve… to quote a comedian that we like, “You’ve wasted a perfectly good evening spending your time with us”. And you’ve been very courteous, listening to us and all that sort of thing.

As always, though, we hope that whatever you’ve received tonight has been of value to you and helped give you a useful, uplifting, but also realistic structure of how you might navigate this coming year in a way that you feel empowered.

Grasping your inner Warrior, finding your inner knight that is on a quest no matter if that quest is grandiose or just personal to stave off the dragons that affect your family, or affect your well-being, or affect your health and your resources. That’s good.

And sometimes realize there are plenty of mercenaries out there who will do anything. Whereas the knights usually have ethics and chivalry. The reality is that you also have the power if you just exercise it.

So we thank you all very kindly for coming. We thank you, those of you who put in your email addresses and phone numbers. We don’t know if Zoom will allow you individually to download the chat. But if you can, I will give you a couple of minutes. If you want to go over to see if there is a ZOOM save the chat. Or just put your cursor in there and do a select all and copy it to a Word document or something. And we’ll also send out a link to the chat with all this information in it.  Kathyrn gave instructions how to download the chat…

But nonetheless, within a couple of weeks, when we have gotten a transcript completed we’ll post it on the website, along with all the slides. We’ll send you all a link letting you know that you can re-listen to it.

Again, we hope that this is a wonderful year for you.  We’re glad that you feel… by the way, let me just tell you, one of the reasons that you can’t help but feel optimism is not only the beneficial uses of Discrimination and Cynicism, and the Artisan energy that people used last year to help get you here, but the removal of a lot of those energies. And the feeling of… ‘ahhhh’ of relief, actually helps to open a lot of space for you to feel optimistic, by contrast.

So use it and enjoy it. And ride that energy that Warrior energy into production.

Alright, everyone, we will bid you good night.
