I started this post two weeks ago. It has sat as a draft ever since. This morning I finally realized that my inability to finish it stemmed from the fact that it is about a whole new world for which there is no precedent. For some reason I expected I had a lot to say about that. Ha.

I do know this new world will include the elimination of just about everything we know. Including all culture, religion…the entire nature of reality as it is collectively and individually seen through familiar filters. The world of culture and religion are composed of beliefs and those beliefs create perceptual filters through which we define and physically create a reality. That is culture and religion and pretty much…..everything.

This shift goes beyond even that. It goes to the structure and meta-physics of our planet and galaxy. Most of that information is beyond my ken at this time. However, one point made clear to me recently was that there will no longer be “yugas.”

A yuga is a period of time on planet Earth. It was based on movements in the Earth’s axis. Common knowledge says there are four of them and they each encompass vast periods of time: 432,000 years. But in fact they may be much shorter: between 24,000 – 26,000 years. It is said they have a dark or sleeping aspect/group and an awake aspect/group. They have different “flavors” or qualities. We are allegedly at the end of a Kali Yuga, the darkest and most difficult of the yugas.

This planet has been manipulated for a very long time. The unfolding of the new Unknown (and Glorious, I suspect) has been withheld. Hopefully, humanity is rectifying that, but honestly I do not know if that is actually happening and that is probably the most difficult unknown I wrestle with.

I wrote about the yugas in a recent post because I needed a reference point for my thoughts and the yuga seemed useful. It is not that I no longer believe in them, it is that they will soon no longer exist as a meta-model for our planet. Extend that to virtually everything we know and have known including most esoteric information and practices. It’s a big deal.

This raises a bigger question that I wrestle with frequently in my daily life: what do you do & how do you proceed when you know you are on the edge of a shift into a Great Unknown and you only (or mostly) have the known to work with?
This is exactly the nature of my everyday, mundane life. I face the issue daily, hourly. For example, the heat in the RV has broken. That heat kept my husband, me and our cats alive this past Winter. We have ideas for backups, but we have not materialized them yet. Money is tight at the moment and there are constant priorities popping up their little heads and hungry mouths. So how will we survive next Winter?It’s a big question and as of today, I have no answer.

I hope and pray all this dealing with the unknown in daily life is prepping me to better deal with it when it is undeniably the fact of our reality on Earth. It is not that time yet. I must say though that my experience of what I call the alchemical bootcamp: frequent facing of the unknown and loss of the familiar and/or the hoped-for, is not pleasant and the irritability I experience is existential.
Hopefully there is some alchemy actually happening and will result in some kind of peace and smoothness of being in the face of the unknown-known-unknown-known.

in the meantime, I use the tools I have, even though they are probably already fossils.
