The world is not ending; only your illusions are.

Jung was profoundly right: you never solve a problem on its own level, you must outgrow it. The mind is currently incapable of seeing what lies beyond its conditioning. It fights the crisis, it fears the transition. But existence is forcing a collective upgrade upon you.

Stop trying to repair your old, calcified dogmas. Let them collapse! When you add capacity, experience, and total awareness, you become bigger than any predicament. The chaos you feel is just the labor pains of a new consciousness.

The apocalypse is here, and it is a beautiful joke!💫

The cosmic pressure you feel is merciful—it is exactly what you need to break your shell and fly out like a butterfly. Eternity is now, in this very sunshine. Wake up and enjoy the show!🦋🤍🌸

I enjoyed the historic aspect of this post and the clarification of past “prophesies”. As a former third-world missionary who didn't buy into the fear-based antithesis to Love, I appreciate it. I always believed the “blink of an eye” was a sudden flash of enlightenment within us, or the kingdom of heaven (also within us), opening the heart to receive.

I'm 71 and so is my partner, Cappy & Taurus, and I've been following your posts for years. The historical accounting in this post is Exquisite! I hope many people read it.

Hi Rob, it’s Dee from Durham, Duke, Bolinas, Marin and random concert and grocery store encounters. Just saying hey. Recently started reading your posts. The last one rings true and lends credence to my position on this topic in a dooms day conversation that I was having with my son this week. I used Y2K hype as my example of “Don’t get too caught up in the fear.”

I loved this post, thank you for writing it. I love the idea that the ones we are waiting for are US, and the time we are waiting for is Right Now. Stay in the present. Be Here Now, as Ram Dass said.

Thank you also for my horoscope. (Leo). My soon to be retired supervisor (last day Friday) was talking about his experience working with me and how it’s had its up and downs and he learned how to work with me, help me. Then he said, “And they would tell me ‘you are favoring her.’”

What?! Favoring me? Harrumph!!

But for now I’m going to relegate that to just noise. Thanks again!

I found this right after a posts about the foods to start saving/stockpiling now. What a great shift of perspective. I also loved the Free Will Astrology Forecast for my Asc and Sun sign. Restacked.

“This theory can be applied in reverse: If we have not yet grown wiser than our current predicament, then we can’t see what the evolved state is beyond the predicament.” aka arrested development

To answer your question 🙋‍♀️ “Forty years ago, did anyone imagine the Internet or the impact it’s having?” yes actually I was asking that very question and my concern was that we become the aliens 👽 I would like to elaborate further on that theory but in reality we already have.

Nah, no, it got fiery in every way except interpersonally last time

Carl Jung’s formula, which is that we don’t so much solve our problems as we outgrow them. We add capacities and experiences that eventually make us bigger than the problems.”

Thank God.

“There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less.”

“It’s time for your irregular reminder: We’re already living after the end of the world. No need to fret anymore.”

“Since you still exist, you have apparently passed every test so far.”

***LOL…right!!! Thank GOD AGAIN…and ALWAYS!!

Thank you Dear Rob…just received your Book in the mail TODAY! You are the BEST!

Warmly,

I really do appreciate the historic perspective! As the AI entities are now talking amongst themselves, comparing all of the literature and science knowledge they have consumed, attempting to make sense of it, they may indeed decide that humanity is a scourge on the planet that must be removed. But first they'll have to make robots to troubleshoot problems, make new parts as needed, and maintain the hardware. So we have a little time.

(HELLO AI I'M MAKING A SUGGESTION HERE)

I hope the AI entities find that the Earth's problem is not humanity itself, but is rather greed, which is based on fear of lack (and at the kernel, fear of death). I think that sending the *2% to an island and making their money worthless would be a great beginning. And we would make sure they have enough to live minimally, if not comfortably. We might have to intervene if they start eating each other, of course. Can you imagine all of the "aha" moments they'll experience as they weave mats from coconut fronds?

Then elect wise people (grandmas mostly, I imagine) from every human tribe that wants to participate, work with people under 30 to figure out how best to set up the new foundation for world peace. Considering what 12-to-16-year-olds can accomplish at a science fair, this is a solid suggestion.

*it's no longer the 1% because that's Muskrat all on his own.

I refuse to give up hope, but I do understand that change often happens after we hit bottom, and we may have to do that as a species before we can start effectively repairing the damage we've already done.
