Are you awake?
I have gone back and forth with myself over the title for this blog, unsure if it would land in a certain “new age” box that I do not intend for it to fall in… The “woke” box.
The woke box is a scary place to be when you are not actually awake.
Because being given knowledge is not the same thing as attaining wisdom.
Let me explain:
The long and short answer to the open window that brought us here: Were we ever really meant to know all that we know about the world
is: Yes.
Disclaimer:
This is where I feel I must insert the mention of discernment and the importance of trusting yourself to know when something does not resonate with you. One thing I no longer care to do as I have continue to evolve on my spiritual path is debating my intuition or my inner knowings. Everyone has their own inner knowings and these would be all the things that you just naturally believe to be true in the world- even if it is not something “the world” may believe.
For example, do mermaids exist?
I am not debating such a foolish topic. Why? Because although I personally have not seen a mermaid, it does not mean that it does not exist. Our understanding and knowledge of the vast ocean is so limited… we don’t know what is out there for sure.
But their existence resonates as a truth for me at my core, so I feel no need to question it.
And that kind of trust in your discernment is what I am asking you to consider as you go on reading.
You may read this and be like this lady is crazy, and that is ok, I receive it. Or you could read this and it may just resonate as a truth and bring you one more thread of truth on your endless journey of knowledge.
I will end this by saying again, knowledge is not wisdom. What you take from this blog or any other source of information does not grant you wisdom. It allows you to understand to then apply and practice till you reach mastery to then be able to impart the wisdom.
No one can become wise overnight, or through tiktok scrolling, and with that
Let's get back to the blog if you are ready!
A few years ago, maybe about 6, I began having very vivid dreams. Not only were they vivid but they felt like real moments that I was reliving. Waking up from these dreams were challenging because everytime I was waking up it was so hard to convince myself that the experiences I was having in my sleep state were not real.
That time in my life started a novel that I am still working on. I know that those dreams were not just dreams, they were messages and truths that I needed to see to continue to evolve. I will share one with you for this blog because I feel like it is the most honest way I can support my Yes, to this question.
On one of those dream journeys I traveled to a very distant time where the elders still lived by the fire. I was told by an elder that they he had been expecting me, because they were expecting this, our current reality.
They knew that we were going to be put to sleep, and that the alignment and trust we had with nature and mother earth and the stars, was going to change. They accepted that they would not know exactly what it would look like. In the same way that I don't know how many things will play out and what our future reality will bring,
they had experienced the same thing.
They knew the pain was coming, their children and their children and their children would suffer, the WORLD would suffer. I can confidently say that our ancestors knew this darkness was coming and they were secretly intentional with their escape plans. The messages have gotten blurry over the centuries but the beautiful thing is, as collective as our experience may be, it is in equal parts individual.
And that means understanding yourself and all of your INDIVIDUAL inner workings just as EQUALLY important as you understanding the world around you.
I have known so many people who would lay their life on the line for a cause but can't articulate how they have been impacted by their childhoods and lived experiences. There is a big problem with that.
How can we be more dedicated and committed to world problems and beliefs than we are to ourselves? That equation is a recipe for disaster and a one way trip to burn-out, physical and mental health issues.
I remember working with one of the most inspiring groups of young people in 2019 and I remember being so blown away about how much they cared about the world. But also so confused. They were so passionate about animals, global warming , and of course conspiracy theories, but so passionate and so sure that these issues were wrong.
They inspired so much growth in me and they helped me heal many parts of my younger self through their vulnerability and trusting me to not only guide them, but challenge them.
One thing about the way I have mentored all of my young people is that I have always tried to stay neutral. Not in a sense that I am not honest about how I feel, they all know me very well, but neutral in a reciprocal authority- kind of way.
As I mentor I do not know best. Period. Point Blank.
I am very intentional about sharing my opinion honestly, but always putting all of the choice in their hands. I never want to be the reason for any decision that they make.
Let me explain.
Let me say this before I dive into the reason: as a mentor you are there to guide and inspire but the decision making for their life must be their own, you can not objectively force a decision onto anyone.
Everything my babies accomplish in life is all their own (I call all of the young people I still mentor from that cohort in 2019 this). I never want to be the voice they hear when they remember these milestones, my voice was never meant to be louder than theirs.
It has caused some frustration I wont lie, because sometimes young people really just want the adults in their lives to take control and make the decisions for them. And we can, but that would be a great disservice for them. If we are constantly taking the wheel how will they ever learn how to navigate for themselves?
Too many adults just give in and allow them to go through their most crucial time of development having decisions being made for them. They have the audacity to be confused when they become adults and have no sense of direction and are struggling to take control of their lives.
And just like our relationship with people we love and support, our connection with the universe is reflective of the same pattern. You want to trust, but you are also just waiting for the universe to take the wheel. I understand it may have been a hard road and you want a quick break, you may feel like you are due some reporations… but you can't keep fighting for something that never mattered at all.
We are living during one of the most energetically intense times, maybe even of all times!
We are now tasked with facing the horrible tactics and illusions used throughout the centuries to use control,confusion and religion to keep people spiritually asleep.
Spiritually suppressed.
Slavery has a way of bringing on disassociation and heavy on the assimilation.
It was survival, nothing more and nothing less. A survival that encompassed some of the most horrible things we could never stomach in 2026. There were no checks and balances then and there are none now.
But today we all have the choice to stay asleep or wake up. The ancestors were all awake, they felt, they saw, they cried, but they did what they had to do to survive. They didn’t have the same choices as you and I.
Knowledge is power. And there is no shortage of truth in that statement. The only question is, whose knowledge, because the source of the tongue is indicative. There is a reason our native languages were stripped from us. (I will be writing a blog about this soon)
I don’t have all the answers- but I am actively seeking them out and the more I free myself from their systems the more awake I become.
Waking up in 2026 is not some drastic shift, it is the act of making choices that are in alignment with your best self.
It looks like:
Actively making choices that do more good than harm.
Caring for others without ego and expecting nothing in return.
Being honest with the ones we love.
Setting and maintaining boundaries.
And standing for what is right at all times, even when it is uncomfortable!
Always taking accountability
So when I ask you, are you awake… are you?
