Live Q&A Happening on the 15th.

There are only two ways forward

even when the world pretends there’s more

I will stand inside the rising

I won’t fracture anymore

I won’t carry every choosing

I won’t wear another’s fear

I let the light within me rise

and become what’s real from here


This is where the song becomes less poetic and a real tool we can use — not in a “do this” way, but in a lived, embodied way. This conversation continues, giving you more information about what we see in 2026, and what this song embodies for all of us. And how to use it throughout 2026

When Feeling Good Becomes the Goal Instead of the Compass

Have you ever heard someone, maybe yourself, say “I checked, and my body said no.” When it comes to making an important decision?

Larry and I were talking on our drive home after the Looking at 2026 call about a pattern we’ve seen again and again, not just in others, but in ourselves. When faced with decisions, even important ones, people often choose based on pain avoidance.

The deciding factor isn’t what’s best long-term, but whether something feels comfortable or uncomfortable in the body. That choice feels reasonable. It’s also quietly costly.

Podcast for this week is now available:

When Pain Wraps Your Timeline - Second Chapter

In this episode, Larry, the Wisdom Keepers and I continue the exploration that opened last week, allowing the implications around pain, authority, and long-range decision-making to unfold more fully. The conversation is spacious, candid, and goes into places that are difficult to capture in writing alone.

Luc Lake is one of my created artists, and his life is shrouded in mystery. No one at my studio knows where he lives, where he comes from, or where he goes after a recording session.
His latest album, Larger Earth, comes with a disclaimer:

“We, at IneliaRecords.com, will neither confirm nor deny that Luc Lake is from the Larger Earth, the stars (whether they are a lake or a reality), an ultra-dimension, the future or the past, or a planet with three suns that is not Earth.”

Larger earth continued:

The first conversation around the album Larger Earth asked a simple but destabilizing question:

What if Earth is already larger than we were taught to perceive?

The second conversation begins somewhere else entirely.
It starts after the moment of widening.

After the kitchen feels different.

After the street you’ve walked a thousand times seems to have more depth than pavement should allow.

After you realize nothing has changed, and yet everything is quietly rearranged.

This week's article and podcast are ready!!

Why “What Do I Want?” Is the Wrong Question

What do I want?” feels intuitive, but it may be the wrong question to ask when shaping a life.

I would like to have a discussion about decision-making through a method I have been using for many years. I could say I’ve used this method my entire life, but that wouldn’t be accurate. There have been entire decades when I discarded it and relied on other parameters instead—parameters aligned with social conditioning, pleasure, and the avoidance of pain.

Last week we ended with a question.

A better decision-making question:

Does this choice support the mission I am here to fulfill?

One of the reasons I adopted this method is that I realized I had no idea how to live in a physical universe or how to make decisions within it. When I tried using conventional decision-making frameworks, the outcomes were often disastrous. (continue reading...)

Podcast Episode - 283 - The Year of the Fire Horse 2026: A Pivot from Light/Dark to Light-Only - Chapter One

There are years that feel ordinary while you are living them. Whispered years. Years that you don’t remember once they are over. Maybe, if something did happen in one of those years, you only understand later that something shifted.

The Year of the Fire Horse is not a whispering year.

In the Chinese zodiac cycle, the Horse is movement, vitality, forward momentum, raw life force. Add Fire to that, and the energy does not stroll. It gallops. It blazes. It exposes. It refuses stagnation. The Fire Horse does not tolerate fences built from fear, complacency, or stagnation. It does not tolerate fences built from anything, actually

For people who identify as lightworkers, the embodiment of light, the constructors of the light paradigm, leaders, or stabilizers, 2026 will feel like pressure.

Not because something is wrong, but because intensity demands integrity. And this year will be intense from beginning to end.

Around the world, there are billions who carry light not as a trend, not as a reaction, but as a position of power.

They may look ordinary from the outside. They have families, jobs, responsibilities, daily routines. But internally, they are steady. Trained. Clear. Although up to this day they have been asleep, indulging in light/dark, keeping the docket stamped day in and day out.

We found that most lightworkers are here to assist the shift from light/dark to light-only.

How that happens — how you do that — is the question many people are asking themselves right now.

Western society often teaches us that we are here to have fun, follow our passion, and seek pleasure or consumption.

There are moments when it’s worth stepping out of routine and into something… less defined.
We are gathering in the desert for a skywatch.
Not as spectators. Not as tourists. But as participants in a space where observation shifts into experience.

Last week we asked what comes next after discovering our purpose and mission.

At the very least, it begins to change how we see things.

And I would like to remind us here that this quiz is not for those people who are not asking themselves what their purpose for being alive is. It is literally for those who have found our articles and podcasts. For those who have orchestrated a path to shed the veil of illusion and see reality in its true form.

It’s for you.
