Alex Collier is an Andromedan contactee. For 60 years he has interfaced with a spiritually-advanced culture from the Andromedan galaxy. When he told them that humans need money to survive here on Earth, the Andromedans did not understand. They asked, “Why would you have to pay to live on a planet where you were born?”
Great question. Great contemplation for you. Whose idea was that?
This time is about alchemy. This time in my life. This time on the planet. Many of my posts will be about alchemy. A friend is struggling with physical illness. Physical illness can be a powerful alchemical cauldron. I use that term to mean any experience in life that serves as a vessel for the process of alchemy. There are many in life and physical illness is one of them. Parenthood is another. I have no kids so I have not experienced the alchemy of parenthood firsthand, but my imagination is good, so I can imagine.
I am in a different alchemical matrix. One that is more of an alchemical bootcamp. I will title (several) future blog posts this way.
In my life, the rug got pulled out. It was a kind of merciful pull-out in that my husband and I had some time to work with. It was not like the kind where people experience floods and fires and lose everything they own in an hour or two. My pull-out gave me some time to work with. I used it.
I moved, with my husband and two cats to a rock. A Mesa, 8600 feet in the air in the southern Colorado desert. We have no water (that I know of) or electricity on site. We live in two 490 sq ft yurts that are connected and our very handy RV, which is a source of some so-called normalcy, having a toilet and some kitchen applicances. Keep in mind, though, that none of these things are powered or resourced the way your kitchen appliances and toilets (likely) are. Sadly…so sadly….poop doesn’t magically disappear into some municipal water supply. We are accountable to our own poop. Bet you want to sign up for this life right now!
Yesterday, I wanted to cook rice and I did not have much water. I only had what was in my water bottles and that was running low. Once the bottled water is gone, there is no more.
I googled whether I needed to rinse rice or not. Alchemy point: I have always rinsed rice. That is how you do it. Seems small, but not rinsing rice is a challenge to my sense of “the right way to do things.” THAT right there is the main alchemical axis of this kind of life. Constantly challenging the “right, safe, good way to do things.” You’d be surprised how much of your power and identity are caught up in this. It is caught up in innumerable ways in your sense of self, your life and how you live it. So many ways. It is at work almost every moment of every day.
Overwhelmingly Google contributors said to rinse rice. I knew the reasons why, but I wanted to see if there might be a lone voice in the wilderness daring to say it was okay not to rinse. Rinsing the rice to reduce arsenic and dirt convinced me to try.
For days now I’ve been looking for my fine-mesh sieve. It is what I use to rinse rice and quinoa. The mesh is small enough so the grains don’t fall through in the rinsing. Alchemical Point #2: It is what I always use. “Always use” feels very comfortable when you can keep it going, but it is not alchemical. What the fuck do I do now? That’s the voice of alchemy. I’m pretty sure the sieve survived the scorched-earth packing of the final minutes of the move from the townhouse we left, but I do not know what box it is in. We had to rent some storage units, some the size of closets, it is likely in one of them.
For a couple days I did not cook rice because I did not have the sieve. Old me. Has to do it the way she likes. The way it “should” be done. Finally, I punched some slits into a plastic cup and used the smallest amount of water to rinse the rice. Alchemy. I used our Instapot for the first time on the Mesa. I wasn’t sure the solar generator would accommodate the electrical demand of the pot, but it did! Hooray! The sun cooked our rice. We had rice for dinner. It was delicious.
The consciousness you use to connect with space and the Universe is infinite. It is yours and it is equally infinite within each of us. No one has more of it than another.
There are no celebrities or VIPs who have more access or more right to be in space. How can any individual have “more” than infinite?
I used to be suspicious of extraterrestrials. Since I did not have any contact with them, it is more accurate to say I was suspicious of the subject. Some of that suspicion was because of conditioning we’ve all received about ET’s – how they are bad and we should fear them. Some of it was because of the completely fictional belief we are fed that we are the only beings in the Universe (this is so laughable, I can hardly write it) and therefore the whole subject of off-planet beings is crazy.
I also found the subject secular and gossipy. Like knowing all the mundane details about others, but on a larger scale. What’s spiritual (or interesting) about that?
Turns out, that was brainwashing too. Our place in the cosmos – Earth, humans – has been deliberately hidden from us as has the multi-faceted nature of the Universe. It is remarkable. This hiding….on a planetary scale…is truly remarkable.
We are not a particularly old planet. Our very existence came from exalted spiritual beings from elsewhere in the Cosmos. So spirituality and off-planet beings are intimately connected. At some point they (can…do) become one and the same.
I recently heard a passage from Steven Greer, a spiritual teacher and ET Ambassador. It explains beautifully how the two subjects merge into one:
“It doesn’t matter if you are a homeless person on the street or a professor at MIT, if you are conscious and awake the entirety of the Cosmos is folded within you like a conscious, quantum hologram because consciousness isn’t limited by space and time.
People ask, ‘Where do I have to go?’ First, you have to go within yourself…..There’s this deeper aspect of ourselves that is simultaneously interwoven and when we go deep in meditation and connect with THAT then we have reached the point where we can be an ambassador to the Universe, because we have become Universal….It is how we evolve and fulfill our destiny/role as an interstellar civilization that is enlightened in a Golden Age of Existence on Earth.”
There are off-planet beings that are not of this high frequency, but there are many that are of a frequency we can – and should – dream of. Dr. Greer has said it all. He has woven together the within and the without. That is the true nature of reality. Not this fiction we’ve been fed about separation and the (make-believe) reality of a spirit-less, reductionist material world & Universe full of threats..
Do you want to start your cosmic journey? Do this: dig down to your cosmic essence – all it takes is some quiet time and your focus – and meet your real, wild, unbelievably gorgeous Universe.
Earth will undergo profound awesome changes. It is going to happen in a relatively short time in linear time. While the changes are LONG overdue and will be a joy-beyond-words for EVERYONE on Earth, they will be a big change to many people. Adapting to the loss of what seemed real, solid and dependable will be a shock to some people.
I suspect there will be a kind of energetic balm given to humanity to make these changes much more comfortable.
Remember folks, it is all for the best. Actually it is beyond the best.

A planet of spiritually-wise, self-responsible humans will create communal “vessels” – what we might define as institutions – that are completely different than the institutions we now know and have known. I am really looking forward to that as I love being with others, but the nature of current institutions and the nature of consciousness on the planet in general has turned me off and made me much more of a loner than I am..
The coming collective reality and its gatherings – people coming together for work, play – will be a joyous expression and out-picturing of the true spiritual reality we will all know and understand ourselves to be. They will be an overflow and flowering of that.
I have lived in two realities most of my life: one – the divine unfettered soul; the other, the ego-identified human. My lived experience has been more in the ego-identified state, while the unfettered Divine has been mostly intuitive. Nonetheless, the unfettered Divine has been a forceful guide in my life.
The unfettered soul is free of ego attachment. I have contemplated this state for decades. As best I can tell, reaching the state of irreversible soul freedom is something that is initiated by the soul, the Divine. Though the build-up can take years – often fraught with great discomfort – it seems that the soul, not the human who yearns to be free, pulls the mysterious “ lever” that finally releases the human of ego attachment.
Because this spiritually-free state guides me, I sometimes view people’s difficulties with what could be called a “Nandaka” consciousness. Nandaka was the sword of the Hindu deity Vishnu. It was the “destroyer of ignorance.” The Nandaka wipes out spiritual ignorance with the swift, decisive strokes of the sharp blade of Truth.
However….
The process of shedding illusion tends to unfold very slowly, not quickly and often with epic amounts of struggle. Rarely is there a momentary flash of truth where the entire consciousness of the person is permanently transformed.
The gap between the attached and untethered is huge when one is in the grips of ego. There is so much sense of loss.
On this subject, I am routinely humbled by my own life experience.
In the last year, our life – my husband’s & mine – has radically shifted in the areas of housing, job and community. Social supports have changed or disappeared with some people passing away. Much of our old life has come undone, fallen away.
Lately, I feel I am in free fall. I crave a safe place to land and remain.
At the same time, the planet is undergoing massive changes and dissolutions with, I sense, much more to come.
Until I reach the free-soul place on all levels, I will still try to cling to what feels like terra firma, despairing when it seems out of reach, passing me by. I live in that gap.
From this morning: The vision of what is coming here. Not a lot of details yet, but when the unprecedented is manifesting, how much will – or could – be known in advance? Of Earth, all these will be unrecognizably different:
Physics
Physicality – human, animal, land masses, the 2nd Dimension beings (minerals, lichens, molds, elements and more) – different
DNA, including and importantly, of humans
Land masses – not necessarily different location on planet, but different substance, like all the rest, plus absent the degradation of current planetary way of life and colonial rule/agenda of destruction
Totally new Matrix, if even a Matrix at all. If so, much more refined in frequency and lighter in weave
All cellular structure altered/upgraded
ALL UPGRADED!
Early this morning I was fretting over the changes going on in my life and how I was going to get the things I need and solve future problems. These are the sure signs of the ego at work. Nonetheless, this process can, and often does, create misery that looks and feels very real.
Then the realization happened: this maze of seeming problems – “How will I get the cats cared for? What will I do if the car breaks?” – is just another thought construct. My brain runs itself ragged going from apparent problem to apparent problem, but often there is no questioning of the process and the reality of the problem. “Is this really what it seems to be? Is this really how it is?”
I don’t go so far as to question the reality of the car or the cat, because I have found that to be a waste of time, but it is useful to question the ego-brain’s assumption about the nature of problems and especially, how they could be solved.
By letting the thoughts and the seeming “hard-edged” physical reality be a construct and not an absolute – as it is presented by most of the world – you start to not only relieve the experience of stress in your mind and body (no small thing), but you also start to see options for solutions you would not have seen. Let me repeat that: you wouldn’t have seen them.
You open your eyes.
Solutions appear.
That’s valuable.
The spiritual journey is developmental. First learn how cause & effect works in your reality, then you can progress to knowing effect without cause. You need to put the mortar between the bricks.
