Turning 60 is a monumental achievement — congratulations! I resonate with what you're expressing. Perhaps it's not so much humanity drifting away from soul connection, but rather your own profound (re)connection with the soul that allows you to move at warp speed. And, no one is able to keep hold of you.

Your message is powerful, and so, being present and aware transmutes that often lonely feeling into an unstoppable source of motivation and energy. With this clarity and purpose, the path slices straight through all the bullshit. Like a knife cutting through the layers of onion, determined to hit the core.

Keep up the wonderful work — age is just a number — and the best is only about to start!

Wishing you a fantastic day!

Best, Wout

Happy Birthday! Your article rings true in my world. As we humans are bombarded by frequency I wonder sometimes if that bombardment is cutting us off from the frequency and vibration of our soul. I find that is why it is so important to stay in nature where our soul connection can be rekindled.

Thanks for your reply. And let me be frank, it’s cutting us by an intentional act from our soul frequency; from our humaneness. Don’t let that happen because then we’re lost. Enjoy the nature! 🍀

Intentional is how I perceive it as well. What it means to be truely human as a being is slowly being aroded. I stand in my aloneness to perhaps raise our collective frequency so can as humans assist in our battle between our worlds of darkness and light. Enjoy the light and your day

Ron: Your post resonates on many levels. For what it’s worth, I crossed the 60-year line nearly 16 years ago, and my vision of the future is somewhat less anxious.

I commend your refusal to be troubled by the epidemic of climate change hysteria, which is a politically manufactured “crisis”. While it is true that the REAL scientific data suggest that climate change might be occurring, the conclusion that it’s an existential crisis is a complete fabrication. The science itself says nothing of the kind, nor is the science itself in any way “settled”.

We are living a period of declining civilization; that is true. The decline is a necessary consequence of a fundamental inconsistency—a failure mode—built into the system. It wasn’t intended to fail; however, it is founded upon a false assumption — one that constitutes an attempt to violate fundamental principles of human nature. On that basis, it is success-proof. It cannot NOT fail. And the growing signs of that failure are evident in a declining prosperity of the general populace, including a moral and spiritual malaise that is strikingly evident in the “social media”, including Substack.

But that decline doesn’t necessarily bode ill for the future. In fact, it signals the readiness for a change. The rapidity with which a more constructive alternative can establish itself — without any need whatsoever to threaten or destroy the existing system — would most likely come as a surprise to those who assume that the task would be much more difficult, and would take much longer.

But that is the nature of genuine revolutions. A true revolution has nothing to do with violence or traumatic upheaval. True revolution is a change in thinking; in a sense, it’s a kind of awakening.

There are some signs of an awakening. I hesitate to call it a “spiritual” awakening, not because it’s not actually rooted in true spirituality (which, in my lexicon, is a non-mystical, non-religious concept), but precisely because the mention of spirituality causes many folks to infer some mystical or religious connotations. None are intended or implied.

Anyhow, a comment in this venue isn’t the place to go into much detail. I’m subscribed, and I will be working my way through your posts. I look forward to the possibility of future in-depth discussions via a more suitable communication channel.
