NO ONE EVER TOLD ME

(Of the Glory of Growing Older) No one told me it would be like this— how growing older is another passage of discovery and that aging is one grand transformation, and if some things become torn apart or even lost along the way, many other means show up to bring me closer to the center of my heart.

“A Frequency No Intellect Can Unlock”

“There is not a single Messiah, Prophet or Savior in this era that will come and balance these elitist forces. In our time, it is a co-mingling of cosmic, extraterrestrial and human forces because the stakes are too important, the macro-environment too complicated, and the histories too muddled for any one person to step forward and help humanity leap over the hurdles that lie...
