I have been following your work for years, and i love what you do, but every now and then something shines with a particular clarity and honesty, and cuts through to the heart with every word - and this is one of those shiny moments. Thank you so much. So grateful you are holding up a lantern (and have been for some while now) in these times of change.

You say this will be the worst decade of our life, and I wonder on this.

If we’re already attuned to the changes on the way, and eager to be of service through this—in the way I feel some of us are innately wired for these changing times—perhaps worst isn’t the right word. Maybe it’s the most illuminating decade. Transformative. Maybe our fears of the future merely serve to keep us temporarily paralyzed, because if we can let them go and concentrate on resourcing ourselves properly, we’ll handle what comes to us just fine as those things arise... which likely will look nothing like the imagined fears we were concerned with.

And as those things happen, we’ll make it through. We will find the ways in which we can be innovative in the face of unique challenges we haven’t seen before. We’ll find new skills and latent talents we didn’t have use for before.

And perhaps this decade will be the worst for some, because… they didn’t see it coming? They were clinging to old ways of being that have been on their way out for some time? Collectively there will be great anguish, but I’d like to think individually there is hope and creative potential for sustaining ourselves through these times fueled by a sacred type of inner joy discovered when we feel useful and/or valued to those around us.

It will be the worst of decades, it will be the best of decades. Worst because of the chaos. Best because of the opportunities to build something better. This opportunity has not come around for a very long time, maybe ever.

When you are dying you either see demons tearing your life apart, or you see angels freeing you from the past.

Birth is pain.

Well said, I think humanity’s survival is going to depend on those who can move past the chaos to get proactive.

You're reminding me of attestations as to the bipolar "hell"/"glory" of war (the blade bullet bomb kind)

The entire global militarized american security state funds and stands behind GOP, trump, biden, vance, musk etc and yet (well-intentioned but) ignorant & deceived conservatives actually believe they fighting the elite and sticking it to the man by cheering for the biggest billionaire scum abusers of humanity. WAKE UP DECEIVED CONSERVATIVES!! See in the following links exactly who funds and who is behind your scum heros that you imagine are "freedom fighters who fight the deep state". WAKE UP!! Your billionaire heros ARE the deep state. You are being played so hard!! WAKE UP!!

Watch this to understand how the ruling class are deceiving you and having you think that your billionaire messiah is anti-establishment https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OEkgZtu_Q2Q

Then see this full breakdown of who Vance actually is and who are the adrenochrome-drinking billionaire abusers that are funding him and have grooomed him for this moment https://miri.substack.com/p/america-the-movie-screenplay-by-jd?

Literally funded and brought to where he is by the billionaire founder of US defence contractor Palantir “the engine on which the surveillance state runs”. This is your so called "anti deep-state" heros. WAKE UP DECEIVED CONSERVATIVES!! YOU ARE BEING PLAYED!! Your "patriotic" heros are not funded by scum who don't just have ties to the deep state, THEY ARE THE DEEP STATE!!!

WAKE UP!!

Trump’s record on the issues that could bring him into conflict with The System demonstrates that he is as much of a threat to the establishment as the tooth fairy. https://johnspritzler.substack.com/p/the-billionaire-class-is-no-more

And here https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/trump-minus-narrative-equals-bushbama-84a363947536

The massive level of censorship, deplatforming, shadow-banning, visibility-filteting and caging us in partisan echo-chambers on Musk's right-wing Zionist Twitter/X is astounding, and what's truly scary and unprecedentend is that it is all done under the banner of "freedom" and "fighting the elite"!!! Truly 1984 level of DoubleSpeak. And a blind misinformed army of millions upon millions are buying into this sick GREAT INVERSION conservative narrative (the successor to the Qanon narrative), worshiping the holy billionaire trinity of Musk/Trump/Tucker (and Shapiro) as "freedom fighters" and "anti-elite", while "God's chosen messiah" and his deep-state zionist billionaire buddies are ushered into the white house. Truly dystopian times..The GREAT CONSERVATIVE INVERSION (Qanon version 2.0) in full swing.. The biggest billionaire abusers of humanity, scum of the earth are worshipped by deceived conservatives as "pro-freedom anti-elite heros"!!! SICKENING!!

PS. For anyone not yet aware that trump and vance and musk and carlson (as well as biden and the corporate-capitalist fake-left liberals) are the very definition of pro-ruling class, pro-elite, pro-M.I.C, pro-genocide, pro-ZioNazis, pro-global capitalist militarized empire, pro-Big Pharma, pro-Big Agri, pro-Big Tech, pro-surveillance capitalism, pro-squeezing workers to death for billionaire sociopaths, pro-NeoConservatism, pro-war profiteering, pro-division of humanity along religious-ethnic lines and pitting us against each other to ensure eternal sectarian-tribalistic hatred and war that cements the position of right-wing billionaire manipulators at the top of the pyramid in every country as "protectors of the people" from "those evil monstrous other religion/ethnicity/ideology over there who want to hurt you, but don't worry, we're here to protect you from the evil enemies of the nation" (and these corporate-capitalist billionaire deceivers are presented to those who don't know the facts as "anti-establishment freedom fighters" in the manipulative DoubleSpeak of billionaire-sponsored conservative echo-chambers and fake "alternative" media), if you're still not aware of who these ruling-class manipulators are and still believe they are here to "fight the deep state for the little guy" (as the deceptive Qanon/MAGA conservative narrative would have you believd) , then you can see numerous evidence for what's mentioned here in the essays linked on my page, and I can also elaborate on this in much more detail if anyone's interested

Omg omg omg. Please consider posting this as a note here or ??? I've been saying much similar for a while now. I started to feel this in the 90s, some current running under everything. Every campaign, and so much of what we think of as government, but actually isn't. How many times can you shout WAKE UP?!

You are one beautiful man, Gordon. Your writing is on fire.

“You must ask. You must call in. That is literally your function. You are the conduit and the portal for these hyperdimensional connections. It is part of the natural functioning of a human to do that, in the same way it is part of the natural functioning of a nightingale to sing.” 🔥🕯️💪🏻

My deep gratitude for this, Gordon.

Everything you've said has come true with a vengeance.

I'm grateful for the tools you have shared to help ride the storm.

Do you have more written, or to say, or other resources on the dismantling of the west? Is this a prophecy? Or Obvious because of seasons and cycles? Genuinely curious! Thank you

I don't know what half of this means but the other half is correct.

I can connect the spiritual to the science. But we will need to make a new vocabulary. How they connect is very simple. We are making it complex.

Isn’t magic science of the spirit?

Isn’t science ultimately the search for the truth of the spirit? To find god? Are we not now coming full circle?

A chastening read. I could do with some real world solutions for preparing financially for the future. Is this something you cover in your paid tiers? I'm not a magical practitioner but have found you through your links with the Secret Sun. Thanks.

There's a wealth magic course which covers it, but it is definitely in the context of actually doing magic.

I’m already tapping onto these frequencies without understanding why…where do I access the course?

A lot of this is outside of my wheelhouse, so to speak. But it's a great post. This line in particular really caught me...

"The ‘payoff’ for living inside this system was getting to outsource the true cost of running it"

Thank you, Gordon. I have been reading you for years, but right now I am at a confluence of many writers (love Deborah Bird Rose and Val Plumwood, both of whom lived in Country) and thinkers who express ideas like this but not quite this (Dr Petra Bueskens, another Substacker, etc.) And just learned last week TPTB want to build a wastewater treatment plant that will discharge into the little creek nearby where I walk most days, because they're building a huge chip plant near me (oh goody, Fairy Godmother Intel, if you believe the collective delusion of many leaders here, especially property developers). The Columbus Ohio Metropolitan Library has no copies of any of Bayo Akomolafe's book, despite shrillingly telling us of its "solidarity with peoples of color." I will print this out, because I need to read it again. And I used to be in the peak oil movement 14 years ago, so I'm used to discussions on the apocalypse.

Oh thanks, Danway - I actually have a good relationship w local library staff, who do order me stuff from non-consortium libraries. But I think Columbus should have a copy of Akomolafe's book. Just coz he's not on the NYT bestseller list doesn't mean he has nothing to say.

Happy to find your words here on Substack, Gordon!

I feel you are correct but I can’t give in. Too important to humans who live here. We can’t become slaves to Elon and Putin and Trump. We would rather die. So NO, we won’t stop fighting back. Evil is evil and we will never accept it.

To say that I'm not nervous or afraid would be incorrect and also an understatement. I believe in myself, but it's other people that I am wary of.
