Things keep getting weirder and weirder. Practicing yoga helps us stay grounded.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I’ve been telling you all since late 2024 about how things were going to get very weird and the very concept of reality is going to become blurry.
Right now, we have missing or unalived scientists in quantum physics, antigravity, and nuclear fusion. A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Ronan Farrow, just published a piece about the billionaire CEO of OpenAI building a third portal to “genuinely summon aliens,” the government has a new website called aliens dot gov, the vice president has said that what people consider aliens are actually demons, the President keeps aligning himself with Jesus (literally), hanta virus is dominating news cycles, the government has a pathway for human-AI implantables as a goal, we’re in war and flirting with bigger conflicts, and a group of evangelists just blessed a 22-foot gold statue of Trump called Don Colossus.
You’re going to— if you haven’t already— see so many people presenting themselves as having knowledge about things like sacred bloodlines, aliens, fallen angels, who the *real* [insert ethnic group] are, how ancient prophecy will unfurl, etc.
People are going to be talking about various religious and spiritual traditions, especially as it relates to prophecy.
They’re going to be talking about shadow governments. They’ll be talking about things like transhumanism (technology-human combination/using technology to improve the human condition), implantable AI, psychedelics, frequencies, etc.
Propaganda is so dominant what’s real seems less solid every day.
Your feeds are being shifted intentionally to paid influencers and AI driven accounts.
But worse, your algorithms are shifting.
If you formerly followed a lot of Black and Indigenous content creators who talked about liberation, you’ll start seeing less of them and more of people who are talking about how their ethnicity is the one true and holy and chosen people.
If you formerly followed disabled creators who talked about disability rights and experiences, you’ll start getting videos of severe burn victims and amputees singing or performing for clicks (not that this is wrong, but that the algorithm rewards spectacle as entertainment and not nuanced, humanizing looks into people’s lives).
If you formerly followed earth scientists, astrophysicists, etc., you’ll start getting people who mix science with hollow spirituality and conspiracy theories.
If you followed physicians, you’ll start getting people who are “experts” who teach you how to look younger or what supplements you can but that will enhance your vitality.
If you followed people who were gardening and teaching you the old ways, you’ll get a lot of garden-adjacent information that’s mostly generated content that isn’t helpful.
If you want my unsolicited advice, it’s this:
You can’t get the answers about an absolute truth, but what I’m certain about is this—
The people claiming to have all the answers are not to be trusted as accurate sources of truth.
I don’t think you need to know the whole truth to prepare for what is happening/going to happen.
I don’t think it can be explained without getting into untestable theoretical, unprovable theories.
I think you need to be rooting in a grounded sense of identity. You don’t need to solve the mysteries of the universe when you haven’t even figured out who you are yet. Focus on that. You can’t fake roots, and rootedness is going to matter.
Some of the crazy things people are talking about are partially true and partially real, mixed with opportunism, propaganda, and agendas.
I do believe we have passed the point of no return and are on a path of cascading system collapse. This isn’t based on any dominant theories, just pattern recognition. We will not come out on the other side of this the same way we went in.
I also think that the fear and anxiety of collapse and what will happen is worse than the collapse itself. You can find joy in rubble at the same time as experiencing pain. Some of you already do that beautifully.
My advice is to stay grounded in the present and to start small. Plant one seed. Barter one item. Introduce yourself to one neighbor. Learn to identify one edible plant and one medicinal plant growing near you.
Then do it again tomorrow.
You might find you have a neighbor with a tractor. Or someone who will do some manual labor in exchange for childcare. Or set up a meal exchange to save money on groceries (a pot of spaghetti costs the same for 5 people as it costs to make it for one).
Hone a practical skill like canning, sewing, landscaping, carpentry, car repair, etc.
Shift your mind— the only thing you have control over— from dread to action. You might find, as I have, that piece-by-piece, you start learning how to survive outside systems and by helping people and being helped.
Not charity, but community.
You might find that the people you meet know people who have the exact thing you really need and love to share knowledge for free.
The last thing you probably need is another strongly worded hot take about difficult times ahead. You already feel it coming.
I’m not here to say that everything is going to be okay. It’s already not okay. But you might find you’re stronger than you ever realized.
