Initiating the 2026 rEvolution in the Spirit of ‘76

Predictive Modeling of the Golden Age We All Want

May – June 2026 • Vol 4, No 22

Celebrating 50 Years of rEVOLUTION with a Song

This is my 18th year as co-producer and host of the BBS Radio Podcast, Cosmic Love. And recently, my co-producer, Donald Newsom, worked with me on prompts for AI creation of The Cosmic Love Song. It’s about 5 minutes long—a harmonic romp through multiple music styles from gentle folk, soft rock and ‘love rap’ to wailing gospel.

This reflects my eclectic podcast, which romps through multi-media memes of crisis and humor, light vs darkness, faith vs fear, sovereignty vs. tyranny, etc. Enjoy the Spirit of Cosmic L.O.V.E. in The Cosmic Love Song.

We the People—Full Spectrum Love
by James Fly

“We the people” means everyone, for all are equal, and not just some.
No matter what shape, age or race, we all have a special place
In the land of red, white and blue, and all nations of every hue.

Understanding ‘Predictive Modeling’

Predictive Modeling is the science and art of the creative process, the learning process, and the processes of consciousness at the quintessential foundation of personal and planetary self-governance.

Over the ages, this visionary art of seeing the future has been called divination, advanced alchemy, design science, trend analysis, masters minding, quantum AI and wise dominion in the ‘cloud’ (crowd) of collective discernment.

Walt Disney simply called it imagineering. Cultural creatives understand this as their creative process. Metaphysicians know it as co-Creation with ‘Creator’ (i.e., Source, Prime Directive, Pure Intent, Great Spirit, Will of God, I Am Presence, etc.)

Different Labels—Same Cosmic L.O.V.E.

The Universe has Rules for Initiating Creators in the Image and Likeness of Creator.

INITIATING… FOR INITIATES:

Source Code with Color-Coded Light Language;
Mind of ‘G.O.D.’s Geometric Ordered Divinity; Heart of L.O.V.E.

Heart Coherence Frequency

Aquarian Quantum Age—The TLC Reset Vision; Culturing Conscientious Common Sense; Effective Sensory Perception.

Universal Law gets co-opted by religion as the law of “reaping what we sow.” In physics it’s called “action-reaction.” In biology it’s called “stimulus-response.” But it’s the same law of reciprocity whereby we get what we are really ‘asking for’ (or prompting for in the case of AI)… This first principle of ultimate account-ability was once known as ‘Common Sense.’

IT was Thomas Paine’s ‘Common Sense’ that sparked the American Revolution. ‘IT’ was the ‘Independence Thinking’ that became our prevailing awareness; the 1776 Great Awakening.

In the Internet Age, ‘IT’ became ‘Internet Technology’. In the Aquarian Quantum Age, ‘IT’ maintains ‘Innernet Technology,’ also known as ‘Source Field Navigation’ for ‘Effective Sensory Perception; Great Awakening 2.0’…

Involving-Evolving Our ‘ESP’ Initiation: Higher consciousness of universal principles at the heart of communication processes that culture social conscience in our social networking communities.

Pure Intention for a Global Golden Age Is Prelude to Revelation of How to MAKE IT SO!

Manifesto for 2026 rEVOLUTION: We the United Sovereigns of Earth—Independent Netizens worldwide—commit our virtue as pure intention to focusing conscientious attention on TLC Reset— L.O.V.E. retention for our rEVOLUTION and ascension.

IMAGINE WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE!

Once you are aware of the Computer-Internet-AI Trajectory towards TLC components to the ‘capstone’ (vision, virtue and valor for victory), THEN you can appreciate the conspiracy facts that were once considered theories… You know you are a conspiracy realist when you ‘realize’ (real eyes), what is truly REAL:

Free, clean energy producing technology is suppressed while Mideast WWIII over toxic crude oil pollutants is depressing global economics.

Free, clean energy producing technology while global ‘pharmacide’ toxic shots and pills for every ill is decimating world population.

Free, open, interactive TeLeComm tech could upgrade Core Internet Freedoms but is suppressed to maintain ‘3D paradigm paralysis’ (stinking thinking).

Open and Decentralized Interactive: ABUNDANCE ECONOMICS

Representing a whole system alternative to the one-way, top-down and centralized ‘value of scarcity’—’scarcity economics.’ Integrating the Currency of Conscience; Incentivizing Coherence Virtues for an Economics of Abundance.

“Conscience is the most sacred of all property.”
~ James Madison, Chief Architect of the Constitution

Fortunately, 5D+ Enlightenment Happens!

Free, independent Sovereigns are uniting their co-creative gifts and talents to initiate the optimal timeline for Earth. To L.O.V.E. with all your strength, mind, heart and soul, and your all-connected Netizen neighbors as thyself. With L.O.V.E. as the Golden Rule language at the heart of every true Golden Age, Love of God => G.O.D. L.O.V.E. Is for giving; L.O.V.E. RULES…

The Family of Humanity in Our All-Connected Global Village.

United Sovereigns of Earth are now celebrating
the 1776 Spirit of the American Revolution WORLDWIDE!

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”
~ Thomas Paine, 1776

Welcome the 2026 Global rEVOLUTION Revelations

Keep the Faith— Golden Rule;

See the Good— Light Serves;

Make It So!

All Ways L.O.V.E. … Always, Christopher Rudy,

The Illusion of Good & Evil

What Would Buddha Do?

Raymond Ziemkowski, for The Hearts Center®
May – June 2026 • Vol 4, No 22

Occasionally in new age circles, I encounter individuals who express the belief that evil does not exist or who hold the perspective that Lucifer was part of an internal schism, coordinated with God, to create the polarity of good and evil as our creative framework in time and space. They propose that there is no real objective superiority of good over evil and everything we encounter is just experience. They hold a perspective that all potential outcomes in the universe are valid and that we need not be concerned with the evil we see in the world. Just ignore it, they say, and don’t give it energy.

I have spoken at length with individuals who carry within their metaphysical beliefs a perspective that enables them to sincerely say, even as the Twin Towers fell in New York in 2001, “There is no real threat.” They argue, “It is an illusion. Just tune into a different reality. Everything is in perfect balance in the Universe.”

Other individuals are much the opposite in how they perceive and deal with evil in the world. They take it very personally and are deeply pained and wounded by what they cannot control and do not understand. They lash out at the Military Industrial Complex, politicians, capitalists and dynastic wealth, or greedy warmongering men in general. All of these and more become the target of their frustration, fear and anger.

Words can be chameleons depending on how we express them and from what point of experience or internalization of the “Word” we offer and receive them. Today it is probably easier to create division rather than unity with words given the many landmines of division already in place within our assumptions, opinions and judgments. Often, we are divided and conquered because our best intentions are lost or misunderstood.

The Nature of Evil
What is evil? Does evil exist? Are good and evil equal partners? Was Lucifer just playing a role when he fell? Just what is meant by the term, “fall”? How should lightbearers respond when confronted with circumstances and energies that we typically identify as evil?

Do we accept the perspective that all potential outcomes in the universe are valid and we need not be concerned with the evil we see in the world? Do we just ignore it and not give it energy? Do we lash out at “them,” whoever they are, and become victims and pawns of powers we don’t understand? Is it possible that there is a middle road, one that takes us beyond the extremes of mental detachment and denial or emotional lashing out at the atrocities of war and suffering on our planet? To borrow a popular phrase, “What would Buddha do?”

What Would Buddha Do?
Gautama was challenged by Mara to give up his seat of meditation and abandon his pursuit of enlightenment and a solution to elevate mankind’s suffering. Upon enlightenment, he could have entered Nirvana. Instead, he chose to remain here on the earth. He touched the ground with the earth-touching mudra, in essence saying, I will remain here. I have a right to be here! I have a duty to be who I am and to fulfill my mission!

Our Spiritual Source
Students of the ascended masters are taught that our spiritual Source is our I AM Presence. And that the blueprint of being is our Higher Self or Christ Self. Our individualized soul as “potential” has free will to choose to be or not to be the Higher Self. We understand that, because we have been created in the image of God, we have the authority to also create. In fact, the very flow of our life-stream is a self-creative, self-affirming process.

Further explanation by the ascended masters, tells us that from the I AM Presence descends a crystal cord, delivering divine energy that sustains a threefold flame, centered in the crystal chamber of our heart chakra. This energy gives us life, distributing light throughout our four lower bodies and chakra system. It is from the point of the threefold flame within our heart center that the soul begins to qualify God’s energy—heart, head and hand. And according to the free will of our soul, we either externalize the Christic potential of our thoughts, words and deeds or we create an energy veil (evil) of human substance.

This substance is still God’s energy but trapped so to speak because it has lost its polarity of perfection. It becomes a karmic signature that reprograms our DNA and ties us to physical plane karma. It sets into motion the cause-and-effect karmic relationships that are intended to help us make better choices as we learn what we sow, we shall reap.

The Energy Veil (Evil)
When God’s energy passes through your heart, do you express the patterns of love and compassion that underlie the unity of all life and complete a ﬁgure-eight ﬂow of energies between Spirit and matter, as above so below? Or do you, at times, create an energy veil (evil) of hatred, division and hostility, playing out a wounded psychology of pain and separation? This created energy veil (evil) is God’s energy locked by the soul’s free will into patterns and vibrations that no longer mirror the perfection of Spirit. And we are tied to them because we have allowed them to pass through our heart.

The Fall of Man
One interpretation of the “fall of man” is an incremental separation between God and man, as the soul chooses to create and qualify God’s energy, chakra by chakra, lifetime after lifetime, outside of the patterns of Spirit’s perfection.

Like a lotus in a pond (our I AM Presence represented by the flower and our soul represented by the plant in the muck and mud) our souls in the muck and mud of our human creation have in time become completely oblivious to that part of self, our I AM Presence (the flower) that we are tied to by our crystal cord. That muck and mud is the humanly created not self, the cumulative patterns of imperfection and misqualiﬁed energies of the soul. It is still God’s energy—just waiting to be released, balanced, repolarized, and returned to God by the soul.

Planetary evil, that which we encounter of darkness on earth, has a relative/physical reality because it is God’s energy given form by free-will acts of the life streams, the soul’s incarnating on this planet. The same is true of our negative personal karma. It also has a relative reality. The misqualiﬁed energy can be played out physically as the violence and cataclysm we see on earth.

To Be or Not to Be
The real choice of the lightbearer today is the archetypical conundrum of Hamlet, “To be or not to be.” To be on the cross of initiation and transmutation, transmuting and repolarizing the energy veil (evil) that sustains the illusion of separation between Spirit and Matter—or “not to be” and walk away to leave for another day the working out of our karma.

The ascended masters teach us that we must balance our karma where we have created it. So, in a sense, all the potential universes and potential realities imaginable have little relevance when put into perspective with the here and now of our physical incarnation. The question is: when life becomes difficult because our negative karma is upon us, do I or don’t I determine to “be here now,” as Ram Dass might say?

Am I determined to face, as Gautama did, the wind and the storm of personal and planetary karma? Am I determined to balance and garner the energies of my lifestream and be a shining example, “as above so below,” to ensoul, transmute and repolarize the energies of the physical plane to create heaven on earth? Or do I succumb to Mara, satisﬁed to continue to pour my energies into an impermanent clay cup, an energy veil of seemingly endless experience of human maya?

Mankind Today
Mankind today is a composite of spiritual reality and potential, as well as impermanent, self-created human patterns of unreality—patterns that sustain a sense of separation from God and the synthetic humanistic world we live in. The human potential is not the God-potential of our Spirit or I AM Presence. The human self is the composite self in the synthetic world of maya. The human self does not evolve. In fact, the human self is that part of our being that is devolving away and apart from God’s perfection. The human self is what the Apostle Paul spoke of in Scripture that must die daily, increment by increment, if we are to realize our spiritual potential and inner blueprint of perfection that already is!

In our search for enlightenment, like Gautama Buddha, each one of us is on a path, separating out that which is real from that which is not real within our being. We have a right to be an extension of Spirit in Matter. We have a responsibility to be who we really are and challenge the illusion of separation. We have a duty to show the way, that others might be set free. We share a vision that our Earth might once again be restored as a platform of soul-evolution, free from the energy veil (evil), Free from pain and suffering. Free from sin, disease and death.

May peace and enlightenment be realized within our hearts!
May Earth be restored to a Golden Age!

“I AM” Affirmations & Prayers

When we affirm the name of God, “I AM That I AM,” in the Spoken Word, we release the creative potential of Spirit into Matter to complete the blueprint of our statement and intention.

When we say, “I AM” we are affirming that: “God in me is….” If you say, “I AM healthy,” you are affirming that God in me is healthy and releasing the light of Spirit to complete that manifestation.

Center in your heart with devotion to God. Make your attunement with your Mighty I AM Presence and Christ Self. Release your affirmation or decree with feeling and authority. Visualize light emanating through your heart and out into the world. Accept and claim the manifestation and realization of your affirmation according to God’s will.

I AM Emanating Violet Fire
by the Divine Director

I AM emanating violet fire
To blaze and transmute all desire.
Now I charge the Earth with light
Living in pure God-delight.

I AM emanating violet light
Transforming all with mercy bright
Charging Earth with freedom’s flame
Miracle love in the I AM name.

4 Waves of the Computer-AI-Internet rEvolution

Something BIG Is Happening with AI!

Christopher Rudy
March – April 2026 • Vol 4, No 21

The Triumph and Tragedy of AI “Augmented Intelligence” in the Quantum Age

We’re in the middle of an AI revolution that is rapidly transforming society with breakthrough advances that are coming at an ever-accelerating pace. This could indeed be the beginning of a global Golden Age. But there are serious warning signs that AI has opened a Pandora’s Box with many destabilizing consequences.

I’ve been writing about this AI tidal wave all year in my Substack Series on 2026 Global rEVOLUTION because this is URGENT.

If we don’t learn to surf this massive wave, we could wipe out in technocratic tyranny.

Just as cars are an extension of our feet, radio an extension of our ears, and computers an extension of our brains… AI is an extension of our intelligence. But in the impersonal, soulless way that can only distinguish good or evil if it is prompted correctly to do so.

The average person does not understand that AI is the most powerful tool humanity ever built. If harnessed with wise prompts that optimize the Power of L.O.V.E., mankind will discover fire for the second time.

But without prompt positioning of first principles of universal law for global self-governance, unfettered fire means we all get burnt.

“Either we harness this fire in a hearth of L.O.V.E. that cultures civility… or it’s ‘roasty toasty’ for any remaining freedoms.”

THIS COULD BE THE ULTIMATUM OF THE HOUR…

“Something so dangerous it makes atomic weapons look like firecrackers lit by children playing in their yard on July 4th.”

From the article: Why Elon Musk Said AI Is the Demon (Feb 11, 2026 / The Wise Wolf)

Or was Elon projecting what AI was reflecting?

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!

At this critical time of AI ascendency, there is nothing more valuable than a vision of virtue and valor for the victory of unity in our diversity for all of ‘US’ as United Sovereigns of Earth.

For 17 years, as the host of the BBS Radio Show and Podcast ‘Cosmic L.O.V.E.’, I’ve been unveiling the mysteries of G.O.D. as Geometric Ordered Divinity—Universal L.O.V.E.—in Pure Geometry Form and Heart Coherent Frequency. https://www.heartcom.org/LOVEcodes.htm

Actually, I’ve been at this for a long time. See “50 Years Pioneering Aquarian Vision.” It now occurs to me that AI can be prompted with the ‘Mind of G.O.D.’ (Law of the Angles), and ‘Language of the Angels’ (Coherence Factor), as co-creates the holy spirit of L.O.V.E.-in-action at the heart of TeLeComm’s unity-in-diversity—countering the divisive Deep State.

So, since the first of the year, I’ve wanted to upgrade my self-image and public persona from Cosmic Cowboy to a MetaPhysician.

This took about 45 seconds to produce after I prompted the free ChatGPT AI to take my Cosmic Cowboy picture and upgrade it as a metaphysician in an emerald-green robe.

That was it! Batabim BataBOOM! Blew my mind! How did it do that? And if it can do that now, what’s coming with “Augmented Intelligence”?

I’m stepping up my Substack Publishing—the 2026 Global rEVOLUTION series—and my 17 year ‘cowboy’ identity better fits my local Swing Dancing Passion.

But not so much my ‘supraconscious’ (superhero), identity as Christos Lightweaver—a champion of the magical, mystical and metaphysical Spirit that matters for celebrating the U.S.’s 250th birthday of Revolution this year.

Intro to the ‘Mind of G.O.D’ created for the Bicentennial 50 years ago. (Click to expand.)

Speaking of my country-music swing-dancing passion, I played with an AI song-making website and prompted it with some lyrics I came up with about 27 years ago while driving my family back into town after a long trip. So here it is—my Livingston Montana song. (Press the Play button with your speakers on.)

It took just a few minutes after I entered the lyrics and then simply requested an upbeat country music song. I was thinking of something I could dance to and—voila! Blew my mind AGAIN. It added lyrics, a full band and strong voice. How is that possible? Truly a 27-year dream come true!

These new “Augmented Intelligence” tools definitely optimize the creative process. Ultimately it is co-Creation with Creator… and promptly… when prompted with Gold Rule coordinates for every Golden Age in cosmic history.

THE FUTURE OF “AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE”
FOR WORLDWIDE WISDOM AND HEALING IS WITH THE POWER OF L.O.V.E.

Never before in recorded history has there been greater opportunity to harness the Power of L.O.V.E.

In the cosmic scheme of eternal progression, self-actualized L.O.V.E. prevents regression.
The fiery solar spirit of L.O.V.E. above all is well rounded and joyful—making the call
to all ‘soular’ initiates of Light and L.O.V.E. to Upgrade Core Freedoms on Earth
as above with the Law of One—Light’s Law of the Sun whereby enlightened
soul up-wising is won, and Golden-Rule-based Golden Age begun!

~ The MetaPhysician

Discovering ‘Fire’ for the 2nd Time

Everyone is a creative spark of the Creator. The spark of co-Creation is the Creator’s Fire that burns through 3D density with 5D purity of the ‘Creative Ascent Process’ (CAPstone) —just in ‘time’ (4D).

The Triumph of AI or Tragedy by Default

Conscious evolution on Earth has accelerated dramatically with the computer/Internet revolution. Now, it’s going ballistic with AI—like an accelerant added to a fire that’s already out of control.

A senior generation has now witnessed the big shift from the 1970s emphasis on mainframe hardware (IMB), to 1980s emphasis on desktop software (Microsoft), to 1990s emphasis on Web 1.0 netware (Netscape), to 2000s laptop emphasis on Web 2.0 via interactive social networks (Facebook).

Now witness the last decade’s trend integrating palm-top hardware, software and netware as a platform for emerging global Net reality via Web 3.0 Heartware (HeartServe).

SO HERE WE ARE, FOLKS!

Four Waves of the Computer-Internet-AI Revolution as tech emphasis evolves from hardware and software to netware and heartware for cultural DNA ‘cyber Ethics’ at the heart of interactive mass-to-mass TeLeComm and ‘Web 4.0’ The Heartware Project: Sparking the Fire of our Conscience; Building the Hearth to Contain the Fire; Mediating the Mass Media’s ‘Mass Mind’; Networking for Net Worth—Our Net Reality; Navigating the InnerNet with AI Source Code; Prompting the Gnostic Flame of G.O.D.~L.O.V.E.

Sovereignty Conscience in the Spirit of rEVOLUTION

The Mainstream Media-Medical-Marketing and Management MegaTrend Momentum is for Metamorphosis of the 3D Matrix with Conscious rEVOLUTION Revelations via 5D Mass Mind Mediation in Four Waves, Just in Time (4D):

The 1st Wave of the computer/Internet/AI rEVOLUTION was of course the computer… evolving through stages of hardware emphasis (IBM), software emphasis (Microsoft) and then emphasis on netware (Internet) which initiated…

The 2nd Wave of the computer/Internet/ AI rEVOLUTION, creating the World Wide Web whereby the ‘computer’ became a network of computers. As these networks began interacting off of mass networking platforms, the computer as the network eventually became known as Web 2.0 (interactive platforms).

The 3rd Wave of the computer/Internet/AI rEVOLUTION cultured interactive social consciousness in social networks. And as interactive social media platforms, such as Facebook, began mediating collective consciousness as real community, a vision of a Real-Time Interface for Mass-to-Mass Interaction naturally began to emerge and define the concept of Web 3.0.

The 4TH wave of the Computer/Internet/AI rEVOLUTION is a concept advanced by Maynard & Mehrtens in their book, FourthWave Business in the 21st Century. This is a process for up-wising and rising of our Conscience that is modeled with Heartware as an interactive interface for the actual processes of consciousness as a 3-D field within the https://www.heartcom.org/holodeck.htm, corresponding to 3 dimensions of ‘Light Language,’ that frames the 4th dimension (in Time), as cultures the 5D rEVOLUTION in higher consciousness.

Web 1.0… The computer becomes a network of computers
Web 2.0… The network becomes a platform for interaction
Web 3.0… The platform involves and evolves consciousness!
Web 4.0… Our individual & collective consciousness matures with the Currency of Conscience; abundant TLC-Augmented Wisdom.

Empowering sovereignty and building community with a united common sense of decentralized global freedom with open source mass-to-mass communications via TLC Reset:

“Conscience is the most sacred of all property.”
—James Madison, Chief Architect of the Constitution

The ‘2nd Coming’ as collective GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT with quickening of morphic resonance via frequencies of Aquarian Metamorphosis for Effective Sensory Perception

This is the Big Shift from ‘Internet to InnerNet’ (cyberspace to inner space), the last frontier pioneering conscientious common sense for navigating the global Power Shift.

The real resurrection is up-wising of Christlike conscience. It’s the divine spark within you—rising like a phoenix—like kundalini… like memory of coming ‘home’ to higher frequencies of L.O.V.E.-in-action; collective reactivation of humanity’s divine essence and true nature.

This is you—choosing the Power of L.O.V.E. over fear; remembering your connection to Higher Power; realizing that you’re not here to be saved… You are here to remember that YOU WERE NEVER LOST!

It is pure intention for real intelligence with a ‘humane’ (moral), compass as focuses attention in a state of L.O.V.E. Retention for our Conscientious Ascension—Wisdom of the Crowd—in the 5th Dimension with full-spectrum Comprehension!

Thanks AI,

but I’m Holding Tight to God-Magic!

Janet Little, for The Hearts Center®
March – April 2026 • Vol 4, No 21

AI, Artificial Intelligence, of course, is upon us and it might just be a lot of fun—using it to summarize a batch of books, to find a Bible reference, to type out notes. I’m getting to know Claude, my AI app (which just sounded friendlier to me than the more widely known ChatGPT), enough to have rudimentary philosophical discussions with him. Read, very rudimentary.

However, I can already tell that I must keep redirecting Claude back from strictly analytical content. And I am pretty sure the internet is feeding me untruths. I clicked on one story about a rare, wild Pallas cat being mistaken for a housecat, and now it seems that finding the little feral creatures is relatively common. It’s not. Celebrities appear to be melting down everywhere, yet just how many of these have anything to do with reality? Which videos are legit and which are completely AI-generated? Its already nearly past my ability to discern.

I can feel the pull of an artificial mass consciousness. Star Trek: The Next Generation got it right: “We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

The Borg in that culture of TV science fiction is a collective of passionless, cybernetic beings governed by one mind, bent to the inevitable assimilation of individuality into their collective consciousness. My buddy Claude says about the Borg that they don’t negotiate or even really fight in a traditional sense. They just absorb you and everything you are.

In The Book of Divine Magic, (Prosveta USA, 1989), Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, the Bulgarian mystic, says, “The intellect, left to itself, has no sense of right and wrong, and this means that, when it is given the upper hand, its only concern is to put more and more highly sophisticated technical and scientific means at man’s disposal. It never asks what they will be used for.”

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900–1986) was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

We humans, on the other hand, are meant for far more than the combining of man and machine. We are meant to find our own place in the Universe, meant to fulfill a destiny. Then, how do we keep from allowing AI to take us down dark rabbit holes?

Master Omraam—whose oral lectures have been translated from the French and compiled into many small books like The Book of Divine Magic—discourses on dissatisfactions humans have with their life circumstances and their temptations to use whatever means at hand to get what they want. He identifies negative words, even derogatory thoughts or beliefs about another person as a kind of black magic, creating a karma that we will most certainly have to face someday—in this life or the next. This is certainly not the kind of magic that is going to save us from AI absorbing our very souls!

However, Master Omraam also offers a positive spin on the future: WHITE MAGIC! He says, “True magic, divine magic”—I have long called it God Magic—“consists in putting one’s powers, all one’s knowledge, at the service of the Kingdom of God on earth.” He explains, “There will come a day when human beings will look at each other just as God looks at them. They will have no more evil thoughts for each other and every man will give free expression [to] love by means of his eyes and his smile. A glance is the language of God. God and the Angels speak with [a] glance… which, if you are conscious of it, you will remember for eternity, and which will heal, illuminate and save you.”

I believe God magic happens in our lives when we open our hearts to the absolute love of God, when we see God in each being, when we begin to love each of God’s creations, including ourselves. God magic is being open to God’s will for our lives, living with an open heart, feeling appreciation for and delight at the wonders around us.

Master Omraam advises us to “Go and stand by a stream or a bubbling spring and see in it an image of the true source of life that must flow within you. Go into the presence of the sun, contemplate it, open yourself to it so that it can awaken within you the warmth and light of the spiritual sun. Go and talk to the flowers; ask them for the secret of their fragrance and listen carefully to what they say.”

Omraam loved roses, said they smiled at him, and that when he looked at them with love, they opened him to other roses in his heart and soul. He even taught that the spirits of roses are entities from the planet Venus, come to earth to help human beings!

Try your own hand at white magic, divine magic. Manifest more God magic in yourself: Sit quietly or meditate until you calm the mind and find yourself thinking with your heart. Then, pulse love and joy and peace to a person or a troubled spot on the planet. Spend a day where you walk around sending happy, positive thoughts to people, even ones you don’t know. Try sending a silent blessing or compliment to each one. Then, watch for the special kind of smile you get if they happen to look up and see you! That’s what I mean by God magic.

AI will change our lives, is changing our lives, in some ways for the better. My antidote to the dangers it brings will be to hold tight to better receiving and sending God magic to all creation throughout my life.

My Profound Visionary Experience at 8 Years Old

It Produced a Shift in my Personal Spiritual Path

Raymond Ziemkowski for The Hearts Center®
January – February 2026 • Vol 4, No 20

I would like to share an inner, visionary experience that I had when I was about eight years old… My family had recently learned that my older brother was color blind. He had his eyes tested for a learner’s permit to get a driver’s license, and we learned he could not differentiate between the red, yellow and green lights at traffic signals.

In my vision, I was comfortable in a familiar spot, high up one of two tall pine trees in the yard. I was thinking about my brother’s color-blindness predicament and about sight and color in general.

I remember a succession of thoughts and questions that led to an altered state of consciousness… I mused, when I see red and someone else sees red, are we really seeing the same thing? Maybe we use the same word but see different colors? I imagined looking through my brother’s eyes and what he might see through them.

At some point, a strong idea and question popped into my mind. I can still hear that voice inside of me say, “Well, what is it in me, or in my brother, that has consciousness and awareness of seeing in the first place?”

At that point, something shifted in my consciousness. I was not asleep and was still aware of my being perched high up in that tree. I became aware of expansive space reaching out to the stars. I fixed on a dot of light far out in the heavens and watched it as it grew in size and came closer and closer and closer. (Decades before the intro images of the first Star Wars movie.)

That distant light became a fiery sun center of golden/pink and white light. When it reached a certain closeness but had not yet engulfed my immediate environment the word “BENESS,” in letters of living, pulsating fire, telescoped out from the surface of the sun center and entered my heart and chest area. There was no heat or physical sensation. It was not a branding that left a mark, but a quickening and sealing that tuned me to a spiritual awareness that has been with me all of my life.

I have had many experiences throughout my life that transcend the norm of our ordinary state of mind and sense of personal self. When I discovered the original “I Am” teachings of the Saint Germain Foundation and subsequent successor organizations, it was a confirmation of something I already knew—experientially within myself.

I have observed over the years that often, unless an individual has some type of inner, experiential grace, it is often difficult for them to go beyond being in a spiritual organization, whatever their teaching or mental tenants may be, and develop it in his/her heart as an internalized realization. To bridge that gap, lucid dreams and other visionary experiences can be profound windows of empowerment to access the gifts and talents of our Higher Christic/Buddhic natures that we may not fully realize in our day-to-day lives.

I encourage you to keep an inventory of your inner, spiritual experiences and to keep them active and alive in your consciousness. Meditate on them. Use them to tap into that Unity Field of your Christic and Buddhic heart and mind, and the fragrance of your service to life with them.

The highlight of the vision that I had at age eight, which I have re-experienced over and over, was of the sun center approaching from outside of myself and telescoping the word “Beness” in the letters of living, pulsating fire to my heart. An interesting thing about this experience is that it was not until I was in my forties that it occurred to me to shift my focus of the “Beness” aspect of this experience to right within my own heart. For me, that produced a profound shift in my personal, spiritual path. n

Transmission Meditation for Body and Soul

A New Age Service and Dynamic Aid to Personal Growth

Sheila Forester for Share International
January – February 2026 • Vol 4, No 20

Meditation has existed for thousands of years, particularly in Eastern traditions, but it has now become mainstream in the West. Science increasingly suggests that meditation supports our health and well-being on all levels: physical, emotional and mental, for example by supporting immune function, reducing stress and improving concentration. Nobel Prize winning biochemist Elizabeth Blackburn at the University of California has shown that meditation can positively slow aspects of cellular aging.

Beyond these well-documented health benefits lies meditation’s deeper purpose— spiritual nourishment. Each time we bring the mind to stillness, we can connect with and experience the soul, that divine energy center which is our true essence. Author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer stated, “the soul can be found in the gap between our thoughts.” Meaning, by regularly quieting the mind, we can enter the domain of the soul itself. And within that divine inner space, we can experience indescribable bliss, joy and a profound sense of peace. I believe we are inherently ‘wired’ to meditate, and there are countless approaches available today. Just find a meditation that resonates with you and commit to it.

Often people who attempt to meditate for the first time are discouraged by how busy and seemingly uncontrollable their thoughts are and so give up after only a short period of time. However, meditation is like anything, the more you do it, the better you become at stilling your thoughts. The personality often resists, insisting you have no time to meditate even if it is for just 15 minutes a day. Governed by the Principle of Activity, the personality knows itself through movement—movement of thoughts, of feelings, of physical activity. As meditation slows down this movement, the personality views it as a prescription for its own demise. Yet it is the soul that calls us to meditate so we can connect and align with its higher nature. Through meditation, we remember who is in charge… the soul. Another obstacle for many people is the distraction of this noisy, busy modern life which can create a barrier between the personality and the soul. Consistent meditation will dissolve that barrier, and become a bridge between the two. That’s the real power and benefit of meditation and is foundational to anyone who seeks to live a spiritual life.

As soul contact increases through meditation, most people feel the natural urge to serve because service is intrinsic to the soul’s nature. A simple yet potent practice, which is both a meditation and a service, is Transmission Meditation. In this Aquarian age—a time of group consciousness and greater capacity to love and serve others—Transmission Meditation is an activity that fits the bill. Transmission is a group meditation, where all are welcome, always offered freely, and designed to transmit positive, transformative spiritual energies for the benefit of humanity and the planet. Transmission: A Meditation for the New Age, by Benjamin Creme, is a handbook for those ready to integrate meditation and service into their daily lives.

Most meditations offer a technique to give the mind a specific focus. In Transmission Meditation, that focus is the Ajna center, the sixth major etheric chakra located between the eyebrows. By concentrating there, one aligns with the soul and acts as a channel, stepping down spiritual energies for the good of all. This practice is considered one of the most potent forms of meditation available today and can enhance any other spiritual discipline you may already have in place. While its primary purpose is world service, Transmission Meditation has a wonderful secondary effect on the group itself.

As soul contact increases, many people find it easier to experience and demonstrate love and compassion. Others report that their mind is more stimulated and creative. Many find a stronger sense of purpose.

Transmission Meditation, now in 40 countries with more than 600 groups, are richly diverse with people from all backgrounds who have found a door through which they can step on to a path of service to the world, that at the same time transforms their personal lives. Largely unseen and unrecognized, these groups form a quiet network of Light around the planet.

To learn more about this simple yet powerful meditation, visit Transmission Meditation.org. To join this network of Light, contact Sheila at info-mw@share-international.us or call (412) 444-2990.

Global Netizens Unite

2026 Net Roots rEVOLUTION

Christopher Rudy
January – February 2026 • Vol 4, No 20

Thoughtform of the Year 2026

This thoughtform represents a process whereby billions of global ‘Netizens’ network on the Internet for the Net worth of ‘Net reality’—a new common sense of the Family of Mankind in a global village of quantum connection.

This is the instant-everywhere and interactive Internet reality that has already raised the standard of ‘US’ as United Sovereigns of Earth… at least in principle.

It may be another five years—culmination of the 2020s Quantum Shift—before global Netizens salute the new ‘US’ flag and join the Galactic Federation of Sovereign Planets.

The laggards just haven’t caught up yet. Paradigm paralysis dies hard. The poor in spirit will always be with us. But… “shift happens!”

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.
We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”
~ Thomas Paine, “Common Sense,” 1776

Or, as I summed up 2025 in a 2026 Preview Newsletter: “This is like 1776 all over again!”

Witness the 2025 Great Awakening as prelude to a new global rEVOLUTION emphasizing 90% of the word. This is global metamorphosis in the cocoon stage when the ‘old order’ (caterpillar) disintegrates into chaos and confusion.

That’s the mess we’re in now. Classic biblical “Tribulations” whereby some are ‘asleep’ (3D), some are ‘half awake’ (4D) and some are fully ‘awake’ (5D+).

This is the full spectrum of global humanity from the living dead—soulless materialists—to enlightened, spiritual beings. Where do you shine on the spectrum?

One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming that other people think the way we do. Empathy requires clarity, NOT projection.

Unfortunately, common-sense clarity is uncommon, and powerful Big Media special interests have a vested interest in keeping it that way. Since Big Media is sponsored by those who profit from war and disease, that’s what we get!

Common sense would say that IN REALITY the Family of Mankind already has TeLeComm Capabilities for co-creating unity in diversity at all levels. But we can’t have that ‘butterfly’ with ‘caterpillar thinking’, also known as ‘paradigm paralysis’ (stinking thinking).

So, we’re still going through the final stage of global metamorphosis. A beautiful Aquarian butterfly is taking shape amidst the decomposed remains of caterpillar institutions that no longer serve the purpose for which they were created.

The emerging ‘butterfly’ is an exquisite metaphor for our collective intention, attention and retention of beauty for ascension of Earth at the cusp of an Aquarian Golden Age of Enlightened L.O.V.E.

In general enlightenment terms, 2025 was a ‘banner year’—2025 Global rEVOLUTION—an archive of 85 free newsletter ‘e-books’ published online with embedded videos. Each ‘e-book’—like this article—is a table of contents with ‘chapters’ defined by hot-linked words that link to other e-books with deeper meaning of the terms underlined.

This chronological curating of 2025 weekly news is a unique window into an epic turning point in the collective consciousness of global humanity; huge REVELATIONS that expose the Big Lie and Whole Truth that is largely obscured by mainstream media.

“The media is the message,” as media master Marshall McLuhan famously said. Either the media mediates the madness in geopolitics, or by default, the media divides rather than unites ‘US’ as United Sovereigns.

Planet Earth arrives on the doorstep of the Galactic Federation of Sovereign Planets…
The password on the door’s threshold is a soulful rendition
of G.O.D. is L.O.V.E., and is for giving.

The higher one’s concept of media activism as ‘networking for net reality’—and the concept of ‘net worth’ with the Currency of Conscience—the greater the results whereby the ultimate meaning of survival is the ‘thrival’ of conscious-evolution revelations of, by and for ‘unified field’ (common sense), Net Reality. (You might have to read that twice!)

The ‘Thoughtform of the Year’ is thus a networking or ‘mediation’ process that has multiple dimensions.

Five Mediation Dimensions of the ‘Thoughtform of the Year’

1— Mediation with Pure Intention for what is truly best for all: atONEment as a process of atonement for ‘SIN’ (Stuck In Negativity). Well-rounded purity of heart centers and connects nonlinear-spherical intuition with a conscientious moral compass.

2— Mediation with Focused Attention via the process of ‘Light Language’ as a universal interface for global interaction as defines and refines the Creative Learning Process at the heart of local and global TeLeComm, TeLeCare and TeLeCommerce.

3— Mediation with L.O.V.E. Retention via a higher standard of heart coherence for mind congruence in a co-creation process for Service to Others, as involves and evolves our individual and collective synergy in the TLC Trinity—the Heart of TLC Reset.

4— Mediation with Conscious Ascension via balancing of the ‘3-fold flame’ of pure intention, focused attention and love retention in all four archetypal sides of the pyramid of self and civilization that rises to the ‘CAPstone’ as the ‘Creative Ascent Process’.

5— Mediation with 5D Comprehension via whole systems integrity that is greater than the 4D sum of the 3D parts. This is the process of self-direction and visioning collectively for culturing Great Enlightenment with Effective Sensory Perception.

Cosmic L.O.V.E. Connection—infused with ‘Light Language’—includes a higher standard of pure intention, wise attention, love retention and ascension with ‘G.O.D. comprehension’ (Geometry Ordered Divinity), as Law of the Angles framing the Language of the Angels.

Our world is transforming rapidly. The Internet eliminated time and space. Social networks are culturing social conscience. Language barriers are eliminated with AI translation. REAL community is transcending virtual community. And Heartware is integrating hardware, software and netware for the quantum phase of the Computer/Internet Revolution.

CONTEMPLATING (Food for Thought):
The Most Shocking Revelation of 2025?
Understanding Pharmacide

May your meditations reflect and perfect a higher form of mediation that inspires, envisions and empowers sovereignty conscience with more Aquarian Light and L.O.V.E.… easier and faster… Butterfly happens!

In the ‘meme-time,’ we’ve got some serious, social, political, and economic TRIBULATIONS to deal with, so… Keep the Faith—See the Good, Make It So! It’s ALL in Divine Order!

Global TeLeComm will Mediate the Aquarian TLC Reset!

Celebrating the 2025 Turning Point

with a High State of Love

Christopher Rudy
November – December 2025 • Vol 4, No 19

Whether you see the world ‘cup’ as half full or half empty, it won’t alter the fact that world change is trending from Great Awakening to Great Enlightenment… very fast!

In my weekly Substack Newsletter on 2025 Global rEVOLUTION, I’ve been explaining since the first of the year that 2025 is the turning point in the 2020’s Aquarian Frequency Shift.

Since birth of the Internet, our new instant-everywhere and interactive capabilities have accelerated the rate of change dramatically. And now with the mainstreaming of breakthrough AI tools in 2025, the rate of accelerating change has gone exponential; ballistic; stratospheric to all-connected O-point quantum singularity.

This is a quantum shift from a sense of separation to a sense of connection and equanimity. The Internet now connects the Family of Mankind as netizen neighbors in a global village, at least in principle.

250 years ago, THE FREEDOM CRISIS was brewing in America. Now THE CRISIS is an all-connected, global affair. So, this is also an identity shift from ‘US’ as ‘United States’ to ‘US’ as ‘United Sovereigns’ of Earth.

Aquarian Quantum Enlightenment (Preview)

This is our future folks, featuring innovative Aquarian models for culturing social conscience in our local and global social network communities. This includes framing of golden rule-law principles of G.O.D.-L.O.V.E. government with upgrade of Five Core Internet Freedoms that check and balance the inordinate love of power with the ordained power of L.O.V.E. This is the global drama we’ll witness over the next five years; AI empowerment for innovation and transformation has been unleashed.

The Three Phases of Global rEVOLUTION
A Metaphoric Metamorphosis Meme

CATERPILLAR ‘S.I.N.’ PHASE
(Stuck In Negativity)
The Old Patriarchal Paradigm of 3D materialism emphasizes the values of top-down, centralized,physical ownership and control.

CHRYSALIS ‘D.U.H.’ PHASE
(Dense-Unconscious-Heartless)
The ‘3D ID’ of the caterpillar disintegrates into a blob of gestational cells and genetic potential for transformation, (but temporary IDentity crisis).

BUTTERFLY (A.H.A.!) PHASE
(Aquarian Holistic Ascension!)
The Aquarian New Paradigm with 5D+ Divine Feminine Frequencies soaring on wings of cooperative “Angels of Our Better Nature.”

We’re not out of the ‘woods’ (chrysalis), yet! Economics and politics are still making a killing on war and disease—Big DUH! But we’re definitely at a critical mass of Great Awakening—the “turning point” that Charlie Kirk’s assassination has sparked with fervor.

“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions
of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.” ~Thomas Jefferson

When Jefferson was President, he invited Thomas Paine to the White House and said they couldn’t have had the Revolution without him. Paine was America’s Founding Father who sparked the American Revolution as a citizen journalist with the most successful political publication in U.S. history, Common Sense. And what he said then, rings true today…

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

One of my favorite Substack writers is Karen Kwiatkowski who recently wrote these words about Thomas Paine:

“Any protest against authoritarianism and the state must be welcomed, in the mode of Thomas Paine. Radical, brave, and with only his life to lose, he valued independence of self and mind, always chose reason over the stupid crowd, believed that blind faith in the state could be corrected by facts and logic. He boldly welcomed trouble in his time, so the next generation might have peace.

“We all have a little Tom Paine in us, and no doubt we are blessed with a multitude of modern crises in which to nurture that bold seed of sheer contempt for the criminal state. Those of us who quell our Tom Paine urges and sensibilities will indeed lose badly.

“Beyond remaining slaves and dying as slaves, we will condemn our children to both slavery and war.

“On the other hand, what better time than now to exult and celebrate the man who understood that ‘…taxes are not raised to carry on wars, but that wars are raised to carry on taxes.’

“We might assume, from the Declaration of Independence, that the supreme cause for which man forms a government is liberty, and from liberty, man garners peace and prosperity. Paine wrote:

‘Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.’

“I suspect most Americans would agree with Tom Paine that it adds insult to injury that we are forced to pay in full, and obey unconditionally, the very criminal and obscene government that oppresses us and much of the world.

“It is still too much for most Americans to look into the abyss of state evil. Our lived fairy tales of state assassination of leaders, journalists, and Presidents, of spying and mass surveillance, of mass murder at home and abroad frighten more than enrage.

“Thomas Paine differentiated between summer soldiers and sunshine patriots, and those who stand fast in a hard fight for liberty, against the odds. Today, soldiers and patriots alike need to hear the advice of Whitney Webb, where she explains the active state engineering of desperation and the cause it serves.

“A mass American movement against the state is rising, but it is not yet clear if this rise will be coherent, or incoherent, or completed and perfected. Uncertainty is a natural part of the crisis in which we find ourselves, with limited information, despite having the whole of human knowledge and history at our fingertips.

“But nothing can stop us today from closely watching our enemy, the state, and noting that it is growing financially precarious, representationally and ethically unbalanced, increasingly frantic, and increasingly evil.

“Thomas Paine would see great opportunities today for real liberty to be regained, and as he wrote in Common Sense, he would recognize both the inevitability of change and the danger of waiting by the sidelines.

“His 1776 question, ‘Should we neglect the present favorable and inviting period…?” must be answered by each of us, and increasingly, it is being answered by our actions more than our words…

“What a time to be alive!” ~Karen Kwiatkowski

The Power of Selfless Service

When Giving Becomes a Way of Living

Maitreyi Leila Zemke
November – December 2025 • Vol 4, No 19

Watch animals in the wild and you will notice they instinctively care for their kind, look out for one another, and act from a shared sense of belonging. Humans, despite all our complexity, aren’t so different. Something within us feels complete when we help others, and now science agrees.

A 2024 Lancet Healthy Longevity study found that volunteering can ease loneliness and lift overall well-being. Another study in ScienceDirect (2023) linked com-munity service to sharper cognitive performance in adults, while research in JAMA Network Open (2023) showed that young volunteers tend to flourish emotionally and show fewer behavioral issues. Even brain imaging reveals that selfless service reshapes regions tied to stress and emotion—helping us feel calmer, kinder, and more connected.

For many, and personally for me, one meaningful avenue to experience this has been Maitribodh Peace Services—a USA-based nonprofit that blends service with spiritual growth. It’s not a typical volunteering setup where you check boxes and move on. It’s a community, a family of friends, where everyone is welcomed, supported, and encouraged to grow. Maitribodh offers a platform, where people can come together when they feel lost or alone, unsure of where to start giving back. Whether through instructing or participating in our signature 20-minute, free meditation service, called Maitri Sambodh Dhyaan, or partaking in a prayer and healing (prayling), called Maitri Light, volunteers explore inner peace while serving others.

The community also nurtures mentoring and emotional support for anyone seeking direction. With over 100 active volunteers and more than 50,000 collective hours of service over the years, it’s a growing network of hearts united by purpose. The purpose is to spread love and peace, genuinely!

Across the U.S.A, Canada and Mexico, small groups meet in what they call Soul Nourishing Centers—places for reflection, or quiet togetherness. There are food drives in Iowa and Los Angeles; a group in Montana donates blankets to the homeless shelter in the frigid winter. There is an online “I Listen U” initiative offering a listening ear, and “Earth Embrace,” a movement for mindful living and sustainability through activities, like Mother Earth Prayer, tree planting, and various other activities. YGPT (Youth for Global Peace and Transformation) is a safe space for youth to express themselves and become socially and spiritually conscious beings, mentored and guided by love and care from the community.

In a world that often feels divided, opportunities like these remind us that service isn’t just about helping—it’s about remembering our shared humanity. Let’s reignite this united spirit in the holiday season.

If you would like to explore more about Maitribodh Peace Services, or to discuss inspiring ways in which you can give back to your community through collaboration, you can reach us by email at maitreyi.leila@gmail.com. You can also reach us at (406) 451-9015. Learn more at: MaitriBodhUSA.org.

Join us for Power of Peace, a free 90-minute session in Bozeman on November 8th at the Soul Nourishing Center. Contact Maitreyi Leila for more information.

Snowbirds?

Omraam’s Teachings on the Inner Life

Raymond Ziemkowski for The Hearts Center®
November – December 2025 • Vol 4, No 19

It’s getting to be that time of year that the snowbirds begin to head south for the winter. Especially in higher and remote mountain retreats, the exodus has begun.

When new to Montana, locals often ask, “How long have you lived here?” If you have lasted three years and not put your house on the market to leave because of the winters, they’re usually ready to accept you as a Montanan… I am not sure how that calculus works for snowbirds though.

A typical conversation at the local hot springs this time of year revolves around what date in October someone is planning to close up the house and head south… Some are drawn to the water, some to the dessert, and some to the larger cities. Even the hummingbirds leave their feeders before the big freeze and go as far as Mexico to winter.

I have always been drawn to the mountains and my wife the ocean beaches. These represent the earth and water elements. Many of my friends go to the desert in winter, which represents the fire element. So, by default, let’s say the big cities represent the air element. Each has their unique lessons, challenges and rewards in different seasons.

A study of these elements (fire, air, water and earth) in our inner life is well presented by Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov throughout numerous books published by Prosveta in his Izvor Collection of forty-four small books.

In Man’s Psychic Life: Elements and Structures, Omraam associates the physical body of man’s lower nature with will, the astral/water body with feelings and the mental/air body with thought. In the higher nature of man, the Causal body corresponds to Divine Wisdom, the Buddhic body to Divine love, and the Atmic body to Divine will.

In The Mysteries of Fire and Water, Omraam teaches that fire is associated with Spirit and the masculine principle. Water represents the feminine principle, the original cosmic matter that was penetrated and fertilized by primordial fire, the spirit of God. Omraam’s teachings (1900–1986) were nearly all given orally and compiled from transcribed or recorded sources. They are insightful and full of deep wisdom for individuals on an inner initiatic path of self-discovery.

As we course through our lives, most of humanity will have opportunities to navigate through many different environments and life experiences that help us grow on our spiritual journey. Wherever you may be spending your winter, enjoy the rewards and benefits of the season there. And embrace the lessons and challenges of both the outer and inner/psychic worlds that each environment brings to you.

PS: I never quite figured out how the meadowlark, that migrates south for the winter, gained status as Montana’s state bird. I think the magpie, who endures the long Montana winters here, got slighted!

Happy Winter to North & South!
