Those who have been reading the original French version of this blog from the
outset will know that I had translated this very pungent (and highly topical)
short story more than 20 years ago and that unfortunately I don't know the
original author. I even lost the original text in English which had actually
been translated from German and had to translate it back in order to make
English subtitles. That's what you call Chinese whispers! I hope you enjoy
this video adaptation as much as I enjoyed making it even though it involved
countless hours of research and work (and also of frustration for not being
able to show exactly what I had in mind, but I'm so grateful to the generous
talented people who contribute to these audiovisual databases). You have no
idea what it takes until you try it yourself, so thank you for leaving a
comment. After all, today is Christmas Day.
May the end of 2022 goes smoothly for you and allows you a little time off.
An international hit song driven by the catchy vocals of the great charismatic songwriter of a (sadly) short-live band from San Francisco which successful passed the test of time while (unfortunately) still being relevant today. A song to make you feel good and uplift your spirit with a cover version by the wonderful Ingrid Courrèges as a bonus. And if you have time, do listen to 4 Non Blondes' one and only album (Bigger, Better, Faster, More!) for more musical gems and Linda Perry's extraordinary voice.

What's Up?
Twenty-five years and my life is still, Tryin' to get up that great big hill Of hope For a destination.
I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood Of man, For whatever that means.
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out what's in my head And I… I am feeling a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, And I take a deep breath and I get real high, And I scream from the top of my lungs: “What's going on?”
And I say: “Hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey” I said: “Hey! What's going on?” And I say: “Hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey” I said: “Hey! What's going on?”
And I try… Oh my God, do I try! I try all the time In this institution.
And I pray… Oh my God, do I pray! I pray every single day For revolution.
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out what's in my head And I… I am feeling a little peculiar.
And I say: “Hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey” I said: “Hey! What's going on?” And I say: “Hey-ey-ey hey-ey-ey” I said: “Hey! What's going on?”
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, And I take a deep breath and I get real high, And I scream from the top of my lungs: “What's going on?”
Twenty-five years and my life is still, Tryin' to get up that great big hill Of hope For a destination.
A bit of sweetness makes the world a better place and is always welcome. Let me share with you this recipe which has been tested and apparently approved by a bunch of sweet-toothed foodies. Ideal for tea or coffee time, it should appeal both to children and adults alike. While I'm aware red berries are just past their peak, if you were wise enough to stock up for later use, now is the best time to get some out of the freezer for an instant cheer-up.
Ingredients
Makes 9 muffins:
Filling : - 80 g blackberries - 1/2 glass orange juice - 3 teaspoons psyllium husks
Dough : - 160 ml plant-based milk - 60 ml olive oil - 2 tablespoons agave syrup - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar - 100 g rice flour - 60 g coconut flour - 1 teaspoon vanilla powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare filling: cook blackberries with orange juice and psyllium husks to a thick jelly over low heat for about 5-10 minutes (depending whether you are using fresh or frozen berries).
Stir milk, oil and agave syrup together in a bowl then add vinegar.
In another bowl, mix flours, vanilla, baking soda and salt then progressively add mixture to wet ingredients.
Add blackberry jelly and transfer to muffin cups.
Bake 25 minutes at 180°C and store in a cool place so that your muffins stay moist.
NOTE: You may replace blackberries with gooseberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries or any other other fresh or frozen berries according to season or availability, but you may need to make adjustments for the jelly filling. If you are using acidic berries such as gooseberries, you may want to add a drizzle of agave syrup according to taste. You may also substitute any other gluten-free flour for coconut flour or only use rice flour. However, you must know that coconut flour has a sweet flavour that adds to the overall taste of the muffins.
Feel free to indulge in these low-cal pastries without feeling guilty.
Regular readers surely know how fond of blackberries I am. And this year, despite the vagaries of the weather (and perhaps a little haarp playing) which destroyed the first berries in July, brambles are very resilient and provided a good harvest in August. We should even be able to pick up some more during the whole of September.
Go ahead as you certainly don't want to miss out on the many benefits of blackberries, their natural anti-inflammatory properties to eliminate toxins; their high content of iron and vitamin C to prevent anemia. Studies have shown blackberries to have a positive impact in preventing and combating stomach cancer. They're also useful against viruses and to regulate cholesterol levels. And surprisingly, despite their annoying seeds getting caught between your teeth, they actually help to clean your teeth, strengthening them while reducing dental plaque and gum inflammation. Be aware, though, of overindulgence as they also have laxative properties!
Below is a quick and easy recipe I've created for “toothless” people who could not enjoy my blackberry pies. It's now a favourite of theirs and it should also appeal to children.
Ingredients
Makes 6 cups:
- 600 ml vegetal milk - 250-300 g blackberries - 4 tablespoons psyllium husks - 1 teaspoon agave syrup - 2 drop bitter almond oil (optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, purée the blackberries then add the syrup.
Hit milk with the blackberry purée and psyllium, whisking constantly to prevent lumps until the mixture thickens. Please note that once it starts thickening, it will continue to do during the cooling phase, so don't wait for it too be to thick to remove from heat.
Add the almond oil if you chose to use some. Stir well and transfer to individual cups. You many add a few blackberries on top to decorate.
Keep refrigerated for 12 hours before consuming.
NOTE: You may of course substitute raspberries or gooseberries for blackberries.
Why is it so hard to wake people up to the Great Reset and the World Economic Forum?
It is because the “evil conspiracy” is hidden from public view. It is designed in such a way that it prevents the average person from ever truly understanding the nature of the scheme. Below is a summary of a spot-on conversation on Reddit.
1. The very idea of conspiracy suggests secrecy, whereas the Great Reset is a fully-exposed direct open scheme aiming to create a global revolution of thought. Every year, they invite our leaders and the CEO's of major corporations and they've been doing it for years. People cannot fathom why an evil scheme would be made public. A common argument is “Why would Schwab outline his plans in his book?”.
2. The World Economic Forum (WEF) cloaks itself in positive values such as preservation of the planet, reducing pollution, access to medicines for all, human progress… People are inoculated against the idea of malicious intent. To resist those values immediately places you in the minds of the masses in a position where you wish NOT to progress, wish NOT to save the planet, etc. Think about it: only a madman would resist such ideas, right?
It requires years of research to realise the difference between genuinely looking to achieve those goals with a noble intent and looking to achieve those goals for a different agenda. The issue is why would anyone look any further into it?
But this is what people like Huxley and H.G. Wells have stated: the refusal of people to believe what is right in front of them—that speaks to why the nature of their global scheme must be OPEN. It is because they need as many people to adopt their values in order to move the scheme forward. They couldn't achieve that if they did it in secret with limited numbers or if their official values were not seemingly positive.
Klaus Schwab specifically states himself that they have infiltrated political cabinets. On their website, you can see that all sectors of society—particularly science and academia–are involved in order to rearrange the way humans think about the world around them.
It is a revolution of thought on a surgical level where the very essence of how a human forms a thought is changed to suit their benefits.
To be frank, it’s a perfect plan. That isn’t to say it can’t be stopped, but it is brilliant.
NUMBER 9 is the vibration of the Wisdom of Time. It's the most spiritual number as its essence embodies that of all other numbers. This is why its vibration is related to the Universe and in synchronicity with time and space. Wherein lie wisdom and light, wherein is man in search of his own truth that will guide him like a beacon towards his Inner Source… his Divine Light Teith, enabling him to guide others towards their own light, their own spiritual empowerment.
Help! I cannot get started on this article. What's the hold-up? Why am I stuck?
Oh, wait… yes, that's my Muse messing around again, going on strike every time I intent to seriously get at it. Is that the serious bit she cannot put up with? Bloody drama queen!
Seriously, she pisses me off. She really does. But without her, I'm like Jack in The Shining, always typing the same line again and again. I will not, however, resort to drink or chase my family around with an axe. Besides, I don't have any axe. Nor booze. It's so lame. And so stupid what I'm saying. Woe to me, this Muse will drive me nuts. And nuts always end up roasted. Or eaten up by squirrels.
And by the way, why is that always a she-Muse and not a he-Muse for a change? That would fun to have Matt Bellamy as an inspirer. He would make me write conspiracy stuff with lots of tremolo tremas and ultra acute accents that would smash my keyboard… Er, well, wrong idea—can't write without my keyboard… Or maybe Dom Howard so I could let the steam off banging the keys. Nope, same here. Too bad, I do need my keyboard. That leaves me with Chris Whose-Name-I-Can't-Spell. Guy's too freaky. I'm sure he would make me write gore stuff with lots of blood dripping on my keyboard and I can't even think of having to line it with sanitary towels. Yuk!
Finally, a he-Muse may not be such a good idea after all. Or maybe a multi-gendered, non-gendered or trans Muse? Aargh no! Impossible. I'm too allergic to wokes (i.e. those who had someone playing bongos on their soft spot too many times). Evil be to him who self-righteously thinks about it. Anaphylactic shock—no pun here, please, you'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking (those are not my words but Thom Yorke's and by the look on his face while he sings it, man truly means it). All the same, it would be fun if I could take the upper hand over him/her/it (the he/she/it-Muse of course, not Thom Yorke). I would take the woke on the wild side (with Lou Reed).
WTF? What the hell am I writing… Gosh, it's not me, it's that bloody Muse making a fool out of me all the way!
– So what? You did write your article, didn't you? What are you fussing about? – Yeah, but it sucks what you inspired me. – You're never satisfied. I'm blowing my arse off to inspire you and you're nitpicking about unicorn ass hair. – Hey wind turbine, adjust your glasses! These are not unicorns, these are pegasi. Everyone knows there are no such things as unicorns. – Oh dear, Blondie's pissing me off. Let's see how she enjoys a dragon for climate change! – Damned, sounds like a rambling saga in great Pompeii fashion in the making. – An autodafé, yep! – Can we also burn the flies in the ointment, the Davos clique and all the cranks from the lower basement? Please, say yes… – A big yes! – Yippee! Getting the grill going.
Continued next year (provided I survive the sulphur fumes).
Until then, my Muse and I are so grateful that you're still reading us after 9 years (yes, today is the 9th anniversary of the main blog in French). And if you've jumped on the bandwagon, welcome aboard and God bless and preserve you against the mischievous spirits haunting this space. Don't worry, they are not malevolent. At worst, they'll only give you headaches. Take breaks, write comments, but never attempt to read it all in one go. Over 1,500 articles, you'd never survive it! And I do need my readers to keep going. So please, take good care of yourself and thanks again for putting up with my ravings and fits of seriousness (it does happen to me sometimes).
Well alright, you gave it all up for a dream. Fate proved unkind To lock the door and leave no key. You're unsure, Well baby I'm scared too When the world crushes you.
Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the storm outside. Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the endless night.
Disillusion has an edge so sharp, It tears at your soul And leaves a stain upon your heart. I need you to wash mine clean You've felt it too, And you need me.
Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the storm outside. Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the endless night.
Your struggle with darkness has left you blind, I'll light the fire in your eyes.
Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the storm outside. Let me be your shelter – Shelter From the endless night.
Let me be your shelter – Shelter... Let me be your shelter – Shelter...
Many have assessed why people are asleep: mass psychosis as a result of Covid scare, trust in government, lack of interest… It’s okay to understand the past, but I wonder what we could do now. Which efficient processes might wake members of the public up?
As mentioned above, it would seem that many even refuse to think about it. At some point, we’re hitting a wall.
Until now I’ve been posting facts, analyses, videos. ‘Logical’ arguments don't work with everyone as they imply pausing and pondering over those facts.
And I can see that any new study, any new vaccine-induced death or side effect is met with genuine indifference.
Maybe we're using the wrong strategy here?
How could we hack that? Instead of making statements in our tweets, flyers or discussions, we could turn it around so as to access their brains.
For instance, by asking questions since statements are generally dismissed out of hand whenever they don't match belief systems.
Do you remember all the surveys in mainstream media in 2021 such as “Should we lock down again?” or “Should we introduce vaccine passport mandates?” All these questions were actually nudges—suggestions to gain acceptance of what's coming next.
Here we could use a similar process with direct questions to counter propaganda:
“Do Covid vaccines make us sick?”
“Did mainstream media lie about Covid treatments?”
The simple fact of seeing a question triggers thinking. Of course, we need to make them visible in the street, in the subway, on stickers or social media. Even if members of the public don't see them at first. The idea is to repeat these questions. What we're aiming at is to reactivate some kind of cognitive process.
I am not a psychotherapist, but if we are to get people out of mass psychosis, it may be worth exploring. I'm open to suggestions.
I am sorry for my lack of presence of late and for my posting frequency now cut down to only one article a week. I'm currently busy working on other projects that are particularly engaging, one of which I hope to present to you soon.
So last Sunday, at the end of a long two-hour walk in the surrounding fields, under the serious threat of dark uncertain skies, this song (which happens to be a top favourite of mine from time immemorial, but which I had not heard for ages) suddenly started loop-playing in my head and there was no way for me to stop it or simply ignore it. So there I was in the middle of the fields, singing to the crows! Message received (how could I not?), I had to write a blog post about it. And while researching about the Lifehouse project (which I had vaguely heard of), I finally understood why this song has been brought back to my attention at this moment in time. And I hope after reading this article you will as well.
You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop...the Twilight Zone.
Baba O'Riley
Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my living I don't need to fight To prove I'm right No I don't need to be forgiven No no no no no no no
Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland
Sally take my hand We'll travel south cross land Put out the fire And don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy ones are near Let's get together Before we get much older
Teenage wasteland It's only teenage wasteland Teenage wasteland Oh yeah, teenage wasteland They're all wasted!
The title is a direct reference to the two major influences of Pete Townshend in the late 1960's, that is Meher Baba, his spiritual guru, and Terry Riley, an experimental composer who inspired many of the keyboard riffs and sound effects on Who's Next–of which this song is actually the opener. According to the album liner notes, Townshend wrote it as his vision of “what would happen if the spirit of Meher Baba was fed into a computer and transformed into music. The result would be Baba in the style of Terry Riley, or "Baba O'Riley".”
The “teenage wasteland” phrase is totally unrelated to the two above-mentioned people and actually comes from another eponymous song originally written for the Lifehouse project, a rock opera meant as a follow-up to Tommy. It was supposed to be Ray, the Scot farmer protagonist of the album, singing this song to mark his exodus to London with his family.
Lifehouse is set in a time where most of England is a polluted wasteland. Townshend described it as:
A self-sufficient drop-out family group farming in a remote part of Scotland decide to return South to investigate rumours of a subversive concert event that promises to shake and wake up apathetic, fearful British society. Ray is married to Sally, they hope to link up with their daughter Mary who has run away from home to attend the concert. They travel through the scarred wasteland of middle England in a motor caravan, running an air conditioner they hope will protect them from pollution.
As for the “teenage” bit, he said:
There are regular people, but they're the scum off the surface; there's a few farmers there, that's where the thing from "Baba O'Riley" comes in. It's mainly young people who are either farmer's kids whose parents can't afford to buy them experience suits; then there's just scum, like these two geezers who ride around in a battered-up old Cadillac limousine and they play old Who records on the tape deck... I call them “Track fans”. So basically, teenagers travelling across the wasteland to attend this concert.
Lifehouse synopsis
In the world in which the album is set, pollution is so bad that the populace are forced to wear Lifesuits, suits that could simulate all experiences in a way that no one would have to leave home (thirty years ahead of The Matrix movie, Covid lockdowns and the sick ravings of the Davos clique).
The suits are plugged into a huge mainframe called the Grid which also contains tubes for sleeping gas, food, and entertainment; supposedly, someone could live out tens of thousands of lifetimes in a very short period within the Grid. The Grid is controlled by a man named Jumbo.
The story begins when a farming family in Scotland hears of a huge rock concert called Lifehouse occurring in London, a sort of post-apocalyptic Woodstock. Their daughter, Mary, runs away to join the concert.
They don't wear Lifesuits because they are supposedly out of the pollution's range and they farm the crops that the government buys to feed the Lifesuiters.
Bobby is the creator of Lifehouse. He is a hacker who broadcasts pirate radio signals advertising his concert, where the participants' personal data are taken from them and converted into music, quite literally “finding your song”.
There once was a note Pure and easy Playin' so free, like a breath rippling by
The note is eternal I hear it it sees me Forever we blend And forever we die
At the climax of the album, the authorities have surrounded the Lifehouse; then the perfect note rings forth through the combination of everybody's songs, they storm the place to find everybody has disappeared through a sort of musical Rapture, and the people observing the concert through their Lifesuits have vanished as well.
Please, note Lifehouse is an aborted project, but many songs written for it found their way onto various albums and compilations though mainly on Who's Next.
It's been a while I had been wanting to make gluten-free vegan bread but would only come across veggie formulas (using dairies or eggs). So for once, I'm grateful to YouTube's unsolicited suggestions as they led me to the perfect recipe which I have tested and approved and am now sharing here with you. I am not taking credits for it and you may watch the original video HERE.
As explained in a previous post, red lentils are a major source of proteins and “also have a high content in minerals (iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium), vitamins B, antioxidants, and fibres which provide a low glycemic load, bring a rapid feeling of satiety, and support digestion. Furthermore, unlike other lentils, red lentils have their hulls removed which are usually responsible for bloating”.
Ingredients
Makes 5 buns :
- 160 g red lentils - 50 ml mineral water - 20 g coconut oil (melted) - 20 g psyllium husks - 3 g baking soda - 3 g salt - 15 ml apple cider vinegar - poppy, sesame, or flax seeds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse lentils then let them soak in water for a couple of hours (ideally overnight).
Drain. Transfer to ordinary or food processor bowl and add mineral water. Process until smoothly puréed. Add other ingredients and mix well. Dough should be thick and smooth like play-dough.
Divide in 5 parts and knead into balls. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet and slightly flatten each bun. Sprinkle with seeds and bake 25 minutes at 180°C.
NOTE: You may substitute the same quantity of (ground) flax or chia seeds for psyllium. Same goes for coconut oil/ACV as any vegetable oil/vinegar should do. And you may of course shape your dough according to your intended use (sandwiches, hamburgers, etc.). The buns will keep just like traditional wholemeal bread, but will remain softer if stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You may also freeze them.

^Here is one of the many unstranslatable puns in this pastiche. All three words turned into phrases here are references to the names of the members of famous 90's French comedian trio les Inconnus, which are Pascal Legitimus ("legitimate"), Didier Bourdon ("being in a funk") and Bernard Campan ("going to the dogs").
^In reference to the Yellow Vests movement where many protesters lost an eye or a hand after being shot purposedly by the riot squads.
^In reference to the many people who lost their jobs due to vaccine passport policy.
^Another untranslatable pun here between "worse year" (an pire) and empire.
^Another one as "upset" (fâché) sounds almost like "fascist" (facho).
^It's common knowledge that Macron claimed officially that he wanted to "piss off the unvaccinated". When reminded of his words during his campaign, he argued that he said that "with love".
^Another untranslatable pun related to the experimental genic treatment rebranded vaccine where Wizard of Oz is spelled "Magicien-doses" (literally dose-wizard).
^In reference to Macron's own words denying the unemployment crisis and suggesting that unemployed people just have to "cross the street to find a job".
^In reference to corrupt minister Valérie Pécresse (Deep State candidate) who ran for presidential elections but got eliminated on the first round. Since she did not reach the required percentage of votes to get her campaign refunded, she is calling for donations (while she made millions in the Alstrom Gate).

a stone at dawn cold water in the basin these walls' rough plaster imageless after the hammering of so much insistence on the need for naming after the travesties that passed as faces, grace: the unction of sheer nonexistence upwelling in this hyacinthine freshet of the unnamed the faceless
Nowadays, with the internet and social media, anyone can speak English and claim to be bilingual (while at the same time having no problem committing sedition against their own mother tongue). Better still, thanks to Google Translate, there is now a flowering of would-be translators who are making Chinese Whispers great again. Thus from AI to CIA, i.e. as you see shall you RIP. Where there's a pun, there's a pay. Algorithms take no survivors.
Since the dawn of time – mostly since a war which has had its day even though it lasted a hundred years – just like dogs wagging their tails when they're happy and cats doing so when they're pissed, “frog-eaters” and “tea-drinkers” always have had great trouble singing from the same hymn-sheet for each tune to a different clef. This results in a constant cacophony which the rest of the globe has decided to use as their standard tuning, whilst they should know better and stand up to this nonsense. If the cap fits, wear it!
As a demonstration – not meant as a protest1 – check in the couple of homographs2 below…
Imagine how someone in France getting a slap on the hand while purchasing bread would end up in pain for putting tape on the gas main.3
Likewise, if you leave your clothes lying around in a corner of the cellar and it's filthy, they will tell you that it's getting the other side of the coin for your saleshabits in caves.4
Enlightening, isn't it?
While getting this right in your face may certainly be a bit tough, it's no big deal really. Well, with Britons being more touchy, they would literally feel such figure as extremely rude as it could put you in your grave.5
Seriously.
And if a British bartender tells you they're not available because their boss is waiting for a reading, make sure you have understood properly before accusing them of telling fibs as they may actually be attending a lecture by a patron.6
In the same fashion, if you wish to book a place on a coach and there is a rentaldeposit to pay, know that Google is fucking with you as you're only requested to drive your car with caution in any location.7
Clearly, it's less trouble catching French whispers on camelback in the desert. Especially when you come across an oasis. Or a mirage. Though for us, in France, Mirages tend to break the sound barrier over and over (at Mach round speed).
Now, the reason why an Englishman wouldn't even get goose flesh being called a dick head by a Frenchman may be because they wouldn't quite get it why they should bite their chair.8
Strange guys, those Gauls!
Also, you can't rely on luck to put you off the scent as chance never makes change.9
P.S.: Oops! Didn't know it was impossible so I did it. Challenge met at the cost of many puns lost in translation and having had to figure out new ones. Don't expect me to do that for every article though. I may be a language sadist, I ain't no translation masochist! However, for your convenience – and for those of you who have absolutely no basic knowledge of French – please, read the footnotes.

Reading this some thirty pages long mini ebook by Lulumineuse on ego – which she calls “Persona” or “Mask" – I could not help thinking of the eponymous Mask movie featuring Jim Carrey. Of course, “masks” in “real” life are not so grotesque, however that's the idea (and by the way, any irony with existing mandatory masks is purely coincidental).
As always, Lulu provides practical examples from her real-life experience to explain the mask concept, why it undermines all relationships (including the relationship with oneself), and how we can get rid of it for greater well-being both for us and for society. This reading was so enlightening, I felt urged to share it with someone I like a lot. Unfortunately he's not fluent in French, which gave me the idea to translate it with the author's blessing, who turned out to be as excited as I was at the idea. A challenge I'm proud to have taken up for myself but also for all those who will thus be able to discover these precious teachings in a language they can understand.
Below is a large excerpt representing approximately one fourth of the entire text which you may download for free here :
How do we behave when we step into our persona or, inconversely, when we are ourselves? How can we avoid getting carried away by our own persona or other people's in everyday life? How can we keep a check on ourselves and align with our magnificent, luminous, and loving True Self?
Stepping out of the persona is the basis of all relationships.
At birth we do not wear a mask as we haven't built a persona yet. It is precisely because they are fully themselves that babies are so fascinating. Take my three-year-old daughter for instance. She is fully herself and devoid of any built form. She does have personality characteristics, but they're not locked into a persona or a role. The persona is actually the role we create for ourselves and retreat into.
This is not a bad thing. It is just an armour, a constructed identity we rely on in order to survive. But this is a real issue when people identify with this constructed identity only, which we may call persona hypnosis. This identity is growing increasingly detached from our True Self, from who we are deep inside. It could be likened to the Small I – the ego self.
In such a situation, we'll tend to endure life rather than perceive it. We'll entertain the belief that everything happening originates from outside, that we are separate from everything. Thus, we do not think we have created what befalls us and rather feel that life hits us. In so identifying with our persona, we cut ourselves off altogether.
We all have our unique way of sustaining this persona. Taking time to figure it out together is already stepping out of the persona. After a while, in our own time, we take off the mask of who we thought we were – the constructed persona. In doing so, we can see what is actually behind it. Right there is an entity, a primal energy. We reconnect to this energy and gradually choose to espouse this truly divine identity, which is way beyond our worldly identity. It is the light within each one of us. It may scare the persona as it could lose its identity. For we are gradually removing the various layers as a pilgrim would – “peeling off” the layers.
This is how we could introduce this concept of persona and True Self.
Incidentally, persona is a Latin word referring to the theatrical mask worn by stage actors.
When we step out of the persona, even though we may, of course, step back in anytime, we're getting better at not locking ourselves within. In addition, communicating with people stuck in their persona may be difficult. So we feel as if we were living in a great theatre play where we have taken our mask off and they haven't. Their persona thus still permeates their responses.
We want to tell them that the play is over, that they can step out of their role, but it's not possible as everything you say is then chosen and interpreted by their persona. It is therefore hard to talk with someone who hasn't dropped their mask.
The persona doesn't want to listen to what you're telling them because it finds it weird and makes everything about them. Do not feed the persona. It is never the gateway to what nourishes the soul. It seeks to respond, not to listen. Besides, there is no point in criticising the persona since we all are at times. The key for not stepping into and staying in the persona and hypnosis has been given to us a long time ago in The Four Agreements, which we will discuss right now. Then we will take a pragmatical look at those specific moments in our life when we step into the persona as well as look at all the keys and tools for not dwelling init and for embodying our true identity – our own unique identity.
When I created my blog, I wrote: “When Lucile becomes Lulumineuse”. Lucile Houssin is my worldly identity and I do not wish to keep this mask. This is not what I am. Beyond our names and surnames, we are all the Light.
We want green green green green Green green-washing We want to fly We want Airbuses and diesel Tangerine at all times We want great flights We want high-tech at home New technologies We want to apologise To relieve our minds…
The least we can say is that over the last two years, they've been using every available means to knock us as hard as possible, all that in the name of the green code1 and coat2. Thrashing black sheep; slagging off and penalising raw youngsters and smart old dogs alike. Either way, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other; Tweedledum and Tweedledumber; glass half full or half empty depending how you drink.
Everything is done to drive us nuts, frighten, upset, or irate us, especially those taken off-guard who had to choose between sacrificing either their financial assets or their lifeblood on the verdigris altar of the Green Pass. The pill is certainly hard to swallow and the green wine does not help at all. Despite their claims of having green fingers, the hands of the green GMO supremacists are actually covered in blood. Together, they're working towards nipping all the peas in the can before getting all pureed by the Red Giant (too bad for the colour-blind who don't get it). Hence the thick-as-pea-soup fog. A reminder of one infamous scene in the Exorcist.
It really is time to go green. In the middle of hell and beyond.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!

The system induces us to think in a certain way in order to control us. Duality is the matrix world in which we live in. But do we really have to play along this duality?
Good and evil, black or white, heroes and villains, good or bad. The media enjoy using this bias and force its way into our brains to make us think along those lines. And so many people think this way indeed, even ”conspiracy theorists”.
Let us take the example of Trump who's back in the news: many are ready to defend him by hook or by crook for all the good things he's done – such as increasing job creation for Black and Hispanic communities, exposing fake news, and essentially destroying the foundations of the Deep State. On the other hand, many also hate him because he promoted the vaccine and invited his audience to take the jab. As a result, there's a strong polarity: he is either worshipped – you have to listen, follow him, etc., never challenge what he's doing – or hated, condemned, and assimilated as “controlled opposition and you must not listen to him. However, it is very rare to find a rhetoric which is none of the above. Why is that?
Binary thinking. Black or white.
So if Hitler had said that 2+2=4, what should we have thought? “Great, he's telling the truth, we must follow him“? “No, he's an evil bastard, we must not listen anything he says”? Or none of this?
As you can see in this example, none of the answers is actually true and valid, and it's essentially the same thing for everything presented to us.
In opting for black or for white, we are closing the door to a huge avenue of other possibilities which could be in better adequation with reality. On the other hand, choosing black or white amounts to create a direct opposition as it cannot be grey; it's either black or white. And given that our mind loves to be right and hates being wrong, we are automatically bound to be confronted with those who opted for the opposite colour.
However, we are social beings. We need one another. We are all connected, we all live on the same planet, and we all have the same basic needs.
So why confront them? Why can't we simply choose to dump black and white to come up all with something greyish?
Well, grey is dirty, some may say. This world has been divided because we decided to pick up our colour and wear it on our sleeve as the Truth.
But the truth is that we are 7.9 billion human beings on this planet and each one of us has a different world view, so is binary thinking really useful for the good functioning of our species?
Let us take the example of Trump again: it is abundantly clear that he has contributed a lot in destroying the Deep State and it's equally obvious that despite his praising the vaccine, you should not take it. However, does it make him all black or all white? Is there something else behind all this ? Do we have all the information to know for sure whether he is good or evil? No, in the end, it's all about assumptions, but taking sides and defending our position at all costs brings us into conflict with our brothers and sisters who are also trying to get through this situation. So ultimately, what is the point in playing this game?
For whether he is good or evil, we can challenge the fact that we don't need politics which are also about opposing sides. Besides, remaining in black or white mode holds us in our position and oblivious to anything else. And the Deep State loves taking us there, introducing doubt, surprise, black and white... messy mysteries.
Nothing is all black and nothing is all white. Life is made up of a variety of colours and tones, and that's actually what makes it so awesome. So it may be time for us to get out of binary choices and learn together how to blend our colours so as to create a beautiful harmony on Earth.
Ultimately, the same harmony we want to create in our hearts.
As I have mentioned a few times, I by no means decide on the topics of my posts. I just let them happen and follow the flow of synchronicities. Sometimes until the very last minute when I don't have any scheduled article in store. I never choose anything and lately, I keep getting signs and perceptions regarding time travel, Mandela effects, and timeline alterations. Including vague recollections beginning to surface. A friend in Florida just released her new book for starseeds about Conscious Time Travel : How to Travel Through Time, Space, and Dimensions. Mind-blowing. And just recently, she shared this tweet explaining that “the Mandela Effect isn't about CERN or manipulation, but is a result of humanity integrating Soul aspects from parallel densities, as prep for the [vibrational] Shift”. It's not your imagination, the tweet says, that Isaiah 11:6 has changed. It really did once read: “The lion shall lie down with the lamb” instead of ”The wolf shall dwell with the lamb”. Enough to drive nuts all the Saint Thomases and masked fundamentalist flat-earthers!

One of the founding fathers of quantum theory, Max Planck, who is often credited with originating quantum theory – a feat that won him the Physics Nobel Prize in 1918 – once stated:
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as exiting, postulates consciousness.
Fast forward to today and there are a number of experiments in multiple fields showing that Planck was right. Consciousness is fundamental and it is directly intertwined with what we call physical material matter. You cannot explain consciousness in terms of the existing fundamentals like space, time, mass, and charge. As a result, the logical thing to do is postulate whether consciousness itself is something fundamental to the existence of reality, to view consciousness itself as one of these fundamentals, but I digress.
A classic experiment used to examine the role of consciousness and its relationship to matter is the quantum double slit experiment. In this experiment, tiny bits of matter (photons, electrons, or any atomic-sized object) are shot toward a screen that has two slits in it. When there is no measuring device placed at the screen, the tiny bits of matter act as a “wave” and creates an “interference” pattern on the other side where a wall is placed to catch the pattern. Because there was no measuring or observation device used to see what slit the matter went through, we cannot know what path it took. When the pattern on the wall is examined to see what path it took, it represents a wave of possibilities, meaning the matter (particle) went through both slits, and one slit, and interfered with itself, which should be physically impossible. Welcome to the wacky world of quantum physics.
The kicker is, however, when an observation device is set up to observe what slit the particles goes through, the particle then only goes through one, thus collapsing the wave pattern and forming a pattern that is representative of the particle only going through one slit. In other words, the behaviour of the matter changes when we decide to measure it, almost acting as if it was aware that it’s being watched. The pattern on the wall set up behind the slit screen will show this pattern. 50 percent of the time the particle will go through one slit, and the other 50 it will go through the other and form a two slit pattern, just as if they were balls lobbed through one slit or the other.
Tyger, tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?
William Blake
I remember a very vivid dream I had a couple of decades ago, in which I was walking alone in the Vincennes Woods nearby the place where I was born and spent the first seven years of my life. A dangerous tiger had escaped from the zoo— a man-eating tiger! Naturally, I came across the terrifying wild beast. Realising it would be useless to run and that I was no match for this wild cat looking for an easy snack, I had accepted my lot and laid still on the ground, closed my eyes, and prayed for a quick painless death. But it never happened. Instead, I could feel the tiger lying against me, purring peacefully like a big cuddly puss—my protector! My totem animal?
Why am I mentioning all this? Because today marks the start of the much-dreaded Year of the Tiger—a (meteorologically and socially) challenging turbulent year ahead. If you felt the situation was not evolving quickly enough, rest assured that it's going to get lively—very lively, with a high potential risk of social unrest:
The Tiger means tension, conflict, and rebellion. Looking at the downside of the Tiger Chinese zodiac sign in terms of the structure and functioning of society, its influence could certainly lead to a renewed outbreak of wars over the control of natural resources (oil, drinking water, rare metals) and to chronic instability within countries with both young populations and fragile institutional structures. But fortunately, in 2022 the Yang Water element combined with the energy of the Tiger may effectively improve listening skills as well as the adaptability to anticipate and find peaceful solutions to issues before they get out of hand. Besides, the energy of the Water Tiger this year greatly stimulates analytical and observation skills, thus facilitating the conduct of diplomatic affairs and a peaceful dialogue between nations. (Source)
Awkwardly, the two world wars broke out during a Tiger year. However, it may also be of some comfort for you to know that the resolution of the Cuban missile crisis during the cold war took place in 1962—a Water Tiger year regarded as less hurried and more peaceful.
Admittedly, I don't know much about Chinese astrology, but I can tell you that Pluto shifting into Capricorn, next week, after a 20-year transit in Sagittarius (beliefs, religions, dogmas, philosophy, international finance) does constitute a significant event in sidereal astrology.1
As mentioned last month, Capricorn has to do with institutions, the establishment and generally speaking, power. In traditional tarot, it is associated with the Devil which symbolises the chains of materialism and the illusory veils of physicality the incarnated soul must free itself from in order to pursue its evolution. As from (dwarf) planet Pluto—named after the Roman god of the Underworld, it is a bit like the alchemist or the phoenix reborn from its ashes. In analogy with the Judgement card, it represents karma not in a moral sense but rather as a fundamental principle or law of life which eliminates and transforms all that is unsustainable for evolution.
At the collective level, Pluto will dramatically change the structures of our societies, highlighting all the intrigues, conspiracies, malpractices, frauds, and other deceit by the elites who have taken over the planet and its resources. In a nutshell, it should “drain the swamp”, if I may use this phrase much controverted in our demonocracies. It so happens again that the American War of Independence and the French Revolution both occurred during the first years of Pluto's last transit in Capricorn, i.e. about two centuries and a half ago.
Another less infrequent but no less significant astrological event due to its near-simultaneous occurrence, is the sign change of the (mathematical) lunar nodal axis of karma. Thus the North Node—aka Ascending Node or Head of the Dragon—representing dharma (where humanity needs to head to), will soon enter the sign of Aries in analogy with the Emperor card. To put it clearly, it is time for mankind in 2022 to take back its sovereignty and for the sheople to call a halt to emasculation.
Funny how the French talk about grabbing the bull by the horns (in this case, the ram) while the Anglo-Saxons much prefer grabbing the tiger by the tail. To each his own way, but my best bet is on the tiger!
Just like in the Wizard of Oz or the Naked Emperor, humanity could finally awaken from the deepest sleep and realise that the almighty of this world are just toothless tigers.2 Or asses in tigerskin3 as they say in Japan.

Initially, an egregore is a thought taking shape no matter what it's about. This thought-form then combines with a similar collective thought and merges together, attracting 10, 100, 1000 other similar thought-forms until it becomes an energy entity.
An egregore is generated by a powerful group mind. When many individuals focus together in the same way on the same thing, they create joint energy. We have all experienced the stimulating effect of sharing an exciting project or a significant moment, whether it's good news or disaster.
So what kind of egregore are we going to create?
All our loving or angry thoughts will create such flow. It's up to everyone as to what they should develop in their world. Many people focusing on a same issue as we're experiencing right now, create a egregore of anger and frustration. Still, it generates even more negative energy, attracting dark thoughts while keeping it alive.
Let's create fixing egregores — egregores that lead us through distressing situations. Let's send light rather than mist to humanity.
Yes, everything is falling apart. Yes, it's neither simple nor easy to live with, however we cannot hope to find inner peace while remaining in such negative mass mind.
Let's create egregores of joy, love, peace for everyone. This is the only way for us to get out of the current crisis. The more energy of light we build up, the quicker darkness will go away, and the sooner we break with transmitted fear, the more peaceful our lives will be.
As if confusion and disinformation had not reached their highest point yet these days, now we got Mercury, the planet of thoughts and communication, going retrograde today — and that until 3rd February. Just on time for the New Year of the Water Tiger and Great Reformer Pluto moving into another sign (after 20 years) along with the lunar nodes of Karma. For more information about Mercury's annual retrogradation periods, you may read this article reposted in 2018. For now, I just wanted to share with you Shasha Marchetti's thoughts and the brief exchange I had with her on Instagram about a recent card draw she did, using a deck her father illustrated. I am a big fan of Ciro Marchetti and actually own several of his oracles as I find his illustrations way more inspiring than the traditonal ones (Tarot of Marseilles, Lenormand, Kipper). And I'm especially fond of his Oracle of Visions with its keyword-free cards allowing intuition to run freely.

The Five of Swords. Overall not considered to be a particularly positive card. It is often related to conflict, to winners and losers in a situation. The particularly negative side of this card can be that it brings a “win at all costs” attitude. If we were all existing on a battlefield, swords drawn, then yes — perhaps that is a situation that justifies such a mindset. But at this time in the world, the most common form of conflict is the verbal kind. And it is a bit harder to justify “going for the jugular” during a modern day argument that is (most of the time) not exactly a life and death situation.
I found it interesting to pull this card (usually connected with Aquarius), when Mercury (the planet related to our communication and how we express ourselves/verbally interact with others) is in Aquarius. Rather than focus on the negatives of this card, it seemed like exactly the right time to analyze how we interact with others in these situations. And to realize that we need to ask ourselves if these arguments and the potential “wins” are really wins at all? We need to approach tensions and issues with others with the airy, objective, detached, mental approach of Aquarius. We need to choose our battles. This is not to say that we should ever hold back what we think or the need to stand up for ourselves. We are entitled to express our thoughts and be assertive when we do. We just need to be discerning in our approach. We need to be sure that we can do so without the need for low blows or shady, underhanded behavior. If we need to cheat, sneak, insult or deceive to attain our win or prove our point - we are not winners. It is ok to sometimes be the loser, walking off the battlefield feeling defeated. It is better to be a loser with some integrity than an undeserving “winner”.
When there is an argument or conflict that has taken the turn into fighting dirty — nobody wins. Everyone suffers, everyone is worked up, everyone is upset. Winner or loser, you both partake in an unnecessarily negative interaction. For what? Why engage in such heightened emotional dramas and exchanges that trigger the worst sides of us? Even the winner, after throwing daggers left and right is now stuck alone on the field, picking up the mess he’s made and potentially cutting his own hand in the process. Or at the very least left with the knowledge that perhaps what they’ve said or done was not right. Knowing they do not genuinely deserve this “win”. You should not be content or satisfied by an ill gotten victory. To be so only shows denial and that you do not believe yourself capable of winning any other way. Which by default is a bit loser-y in itself, no?
We are all guilty of wanting to be “right”. Maybe even truly believing we are. Either way, it is still not worth it.
Let this card remind you that you do not always have to win (or partake in the conflict at all). RELAX. And when the battle is unavoidable, be sure to engage with integrity. Win or lose.
Note: This is not meant as a general description of this card, but my interpretation of it at this moment in time and what I think can be learned from it.
pensine_mutine : 100% agree. Just for information, after using the traditional tropical zodiac for decades, I recently felt guided to experiment with the sidereal one (with a different ayanamsa than Hindu astrology uses, i.e. the Galactic Center as reference point rather than artbitrary fixed stars) and so far it is, in my opinion with charts studied, much more accurate. This way, Mercury is currently in Capricorn which goes well with the energy of the Devil [card] where one needs to cut through layers of illusion and go beyond what meets the eye in their communication and thinking. Just my opinion and feeling, but I thought it would be worth sharing if anyone would like to experiment.
ciromarchetti.art : Thank you for sharing. Very informative and interesting. I have also recently started to explore more into various systems and I think it is very useful to take the time to dabble in them all, see the similarities and differences of what’s “going on” from each one's point of view or reference. Never ending ways to interpret it all and always something to gain! - Sasha
We can go into the nature of the force that's behind this global cult. The force that these satanists in the global cult worship in their rituals. I looked and met so many people around the world in different cultures and looked at what the cultures say and what the legends say, what the accounts say and again and again you're seeing a non-human force being described as a manipulator of human society and it seems to take a reptilian form. Not only a reptilian form but that seems to be the dominant force the one that's really calling the shots.
But then you can go deeper and you can say “Well, it doesn't matter whether we're looking at something that's human or something that's not human that's reptilian, that's one of these greys.” It doesn't matter in the foundation of it all because how that form if you like behaves is dictated by its perception. So what we're looking at, at the bottom of this rabbit hole, is a state of perception. And I've been talking about a mind virus for decades. A mind virus that's manipulating human perception and directing human psychology.
Much more recently, I came across the concept in the native American arena, the description of a mind virus which they call Wetiko —at least the Cree tribal group do. I read about Wetiko and I thought this is exactly the mind virus I've been writing about. It's a state of consciousness that's incredibly distorted and inverted, that's why it inverts everything. And if you look at the word EVIL it's the word LIVE written backwards. That's very appropriate because this Wetiko consciousness which drives these reptilians and this global cult —which drives your Gateses and your Faucis and your Klaus Schwabs— is an inversion of love.
In fact, my definition of Evil is the absence of Love. You take Love out and you've got Evil. You put Love in and Evil is gone. And so it sounds trite and simplistic, but it's not. It's profound. The answer to Evil is not more evil (what you fight you become), it's Love. And what we've done —and it's been systematically distorted on purpose— is lost the meaning of Love. We now connect in the human expression of it, love with attraction. Part of it can be attraction. It can be a physical attraction, but the love I'm talking about is is well beyond that. Love is that which connects us to outside this madhouse which I say is a simulation actually to that which drives the vast overwhelming majority of infinite consciousness, infinite possibility.
What's happened is that humans have been manipulated into a fake reality simulation (think Matrix) that has sought to disconnect us, to separate us from that enormity of Love. And what is Love? Love is all that is, has been and ever can be. Love is all possibility. Love is all potential. Love is that which says “I will always do what I know to be right and I will not think about consequences Because to think consequences will be to consider not doing what I know to be right. I'm doing what I know to be right because I'm coming from love.”
Love through this heart vortex is how we connect with the Great Beyond outside of this mind prison which is what it is —this simulation, this matrix is a mind prison, a perception prison. And the whole idea is to stop us making that connection to keep us separated, to hold our point of attention and our source of perception in the five senses and the immediate subconscious around the five senses. The idea is is to isolate us in the five senses and then to program those senses with a version of reality. So that version of reality (perception) becomes one which allows the force of control to control to its heart's content because you can't see literally beyond the end of your nose when you're in that state.
If you look at how the five senses decode reality, they can see only certain frequencies that we call form —we call solidity. They're not really, but they appear to act to the five senses. But in between the form, the five senses see empty space. They don't see anything else. So everything's apart from everything else to the five senses, it's the only way it can see the world. Whereas when you expand your awareness out of the five senses, you start to realise that everything's connected. There is no empty space, but between or that which the five senses perceives as empty space, is actually consciousness —awareness, like one vast conscious wifi field connecting everything. And we are interacting with it, it's affecting us and we're affecting that just like fish and sea life are swimming in an ocean. The ocean is that which connects everything but they don't want us to realise that we're part of one massive infinite whole dominated by love beyond understanding of what love is.
They want us to think that we are simply irrelevant, powerless individuals, apart from every other individual, apart from every other expression of life like the trees and the air and the natural world in general. So that we are operating as merely one isolated computer system if you like, when we're actually all connected.
They'll say no one can see us, That we're estranged and all alone. They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom. They're wrong... They're wrong...
Conspiracy theorists are annoying because they're often right and in the long run their theories tend to turn into hard facts. So I was definitely not mistaken when I warned you that 2021 would be much worse than 2020; that humanity would be split in two; that there would be a parting of the ways; and that we would ALL be forced to make a choice. A crucial decision we had to take willy-nilly, even though some already regret giving in to the demands or listening to the sirens' song which promised them they could have their (much loathed) old lives back.
If only the majority could step back and take an unbiased look at their own logic to see how incoherent it all is... this macabre farce would cease immediately. We could then start building a new world on sound and fair foundations, which would be nothing like the one we left behind. For after biting its own tail for so long, the Snake eventually ate itself.
The Talion Sleeps Tonight
Running around in circles, Feeling caged by endless rules... Free me! Free me! Free me from this world, I don't belong here, It was a mistake imprisoning my soul...
The Ouroboros, this symbol of infinity actually represents the wheel of karma perpetuated by the enforcement of the Lex Talionis Law, trapping humanity into an endless cycle of cause and effect. Imagine serving a life sentence inside a washing machine or a centrifuge? Which of the chicken or the egg... How coincidental 2022 looks like a family of swans trailing a gigantic egg!
An eye for an eye is only a feature of the weak as it takes a lot of courage (heart) to forgive (yourself more than anyone else). Forgiveness has, of course, nothing to do with condoning. As for the false sense of impunity frequently invoked by the unreliable autopilot (ego) to justify his dismissing the guidance of his air traffic controller (soul), it is nothing other than a deliberate programming error meant to prevent us from taking off, leaving all excess baggage behind.
The ego is totally unaware of the Universal Laws of Life. The Law of Cause and Effect supersedes the Law of Free Will. In other words, you are free to choose, think, believe, say, decide and do whatever you want, but you are also fully accountable for all your choices, thoughts, beliefs, words, decisions and actions.
Reality is not limited to what your five senses perceive and thus you are mistaken and deluded if you think impunity does apply to some people. In truth, no one knows what it's like to be in another person's shoes. There's always more than meets the eye. You can never know for sure what's happening behind closed doors. The Great Whole moves in mysterious ways and we are all holders of its Truth but in tiny different fractions just like the many pieces of an unfinished jigsaw puzzle.
While arrogance may cause you to hit rock-bottom, humility will uplift you above the highest mountains.
The Allegory of the Mirror
You certainly didn't fail to notice that all values have now been inverted and that the lunatics have taken over the asylum. It's normal. That's the split-up I was talking about where some chose to walk through the looking glass while others didn't. Hence each party believes their reality is the real one and that the other is inverted. How do you know which side of the mirror you're on then?
Well, that's pretty simple: you just take a few steps back. The fake reality won't allow you to step out of the box to see beyond the mirror's reflecting scope. Conversely, in the other reality, you are only limited by your desire and ability to take the necessary steps back as far as you're willing to go. While the first provides a narrow perspective which keeps shrinking (single worldview), the latter keeps expanding. The only way to escape con-fine-ment would be to smash the mirror, but since it's a mental metaphor of Hawkins' vibratory scale (as shown opposite), you'll have to raise your vibration to ever hope to get out of the fly trap.
Can you see now the real stake of this war of attrition waged against humanity and which takes place in our minds rather than in the battlefields?
Gaining perspective is essential if you want to avoid becoming what you fight and falling with the invisible enemy.
The Year of the Planetary Ascension
When a human being embraces Love on a purely emotional level, they become slaves to their own torments and may dread the good times on account of their transient if not disturbing nature. They are more concerned about what could go wrong or amiss than committing to instant gratitude. Control reassures them and happiness becomes a perpetual quest, keeping them away from the Light of the Now.
In the world unfolding before us, some need to embody the present so as to make it thrive in bliss and newfound Light. While others will have to cope with their own inner prisons until the day when they can look within as an initial glimmer of infinity.
No one can remove the inner barriers of their brothers and sisters, but you can all deeply inspire those around you. Not by pointing at the beacon in the night, but by embodying the Light of the beacon. Just like a sun only offering its luminous presence, the immense aura of which impregnates every being.
You can't pull at a flower to make it grow faster. But you can create and nurture the conditions for it to bloom.
Numerology-wise, 2022 is a universal 6 year of responsibility, love and service, while the triple twos and the zero of infinity amplify the need for cooperation. Number 6 corresponds to the Lover (or Crossroads) card in traditional tarot and “becomes the principle of conscious choice, the awareness of the bounds we build from experience and grow to better our involvement and learn useful lessons in the light of our own needs. [...] Love in all its diversity and multiplicity will become the unifying link.”(Source)
22 is a master number related to the Fool (or Jester) card which represents evolution, “the principle of freedom and truth standing as the culmination of a stage to start a new equally progressive one. Everything moves in circles along a spiral to push us towards new experiences so as to learn their inherent truth. Learning and the desire to know will be essential to whether you follow your own star or chase your tail without ever risking or daring to venture into the unknown.” (Source)
A new year beginning with a moonless night (new moon tomorrow), the third and last historical show of strength between Saturn and Uranus, and Pluto the Great Reformer moving into Sidereal Capricorn (power, institutions, establishment) in early February after two decades in Sagittarius (beliefs, religions, dogmas, philosophy, international finances). But we shall discuss that in another article next month to celebrate the Year of the Water Tiger.
