January 1, 2050 The Age of Aquarius, Period 9, The Kingdom of Conscious Souls, fill in the blank, I was there, I chose to become the wave. I saw that all along I had been guided and blessed by helpers. This was bigger than me and my intention was everything. I was not alone and I always had choice. So realizing the big picture, I chose intending the highest good for all as my joyous expression. This took many forms: I consciously wove this intention at work as a truck driver, on stages as a stand-up comedian, on my podcast “Blanking” chatting with guests, at the grocery store, while eating grapes, while scrolling Instagram, while chatting with friends and strangers, while lying down to sleep in treasured dreams, while buying art and apparel on Etsy, with my bare feet in the grass looking at the stars, while fasting to detoxify the body and listening to the wind. That was the invisible domino that changed everything. It was always coming, and when it came, the lie that “we are here to conquer earth” dissolved into the truth that “we are part of the whole.” By choosing a simple intention that brought sufficient energy to every situation, ego, fear and glut collapsed under the weight of its own boredom. We always wanted this, but we had felt lost, forgetting our compass. I found my compass, my choice, my intention, the thread weaving ALL together. By calling for the highest good of ALL I breathed love on the suffering around me and the resonance of that truth spread throughout Earth, as one by one people felt and remembered our interconnectedness. I was not alone. Help is always there.
