As we enter the 3rd week in January, I want to keep on point and follow through on what's going as we make our choices into the new, bold year ahead. I'll expand further at @risemultiversity but for now these are more personal musings.

2018 without doubt will have roadblocks and agendas unfolding by "the powers that be scrambling" (coined by @livinglessons). When we make our choices whether that be in the artificial timeline(s) or the organic timeline aligned with the Planet, we are pathing the way for doors of opportunity as we "Navigate The Matrix" (George Kavasilas) in one way or another. Our choices determine our timelines.

As Star Wars still has some buzz from a few weeks ago, for fun, I thought to tie-in some sci-fi narrative metaphors because they are powerful. As humans, we identify with narratives. It's in our history, in our structure of language(s), and how we communicate. Narratives are deeply embedded in us, for better or worse.

In my discussion with Anaiis Salles @livinglessons, I humorously described the choices we make when aligned with the Planet to being much like a Jedi. Why? Cause we go in flow. We follow a path of trust and knowing, letting go of mental blocks and barriers that otherwise hold us back. Like Luke, we end up unlearning what we've learnt. Like Truman in the Truman Show, we cross the sea to get to the door on the other side of the embedded artificial reality. So our choices are very important because if one is on this path then it includes levels of integrity. If we don't honour our choices and betray ourselves then our timeline starts to change. We fall off that path.

To be on this level takes a series of disciplines and they will be challenging because we have to break down and learn to bypass our ego, as well as other mental systems of control that are all deeply embedded in us. As much as we think we are "awakened" and even "grown-up" (Ken Wilber) that doesn't really mean we are on that "Jedi" path. With all the turbulence the "Adjustment Bureau" throws at us, it can be tempting to fall on the short and narrow when we become short-sighted.

"I need money", "what will I do next?" and "I think I need to do this...” -- No! These are distractions. Create your own barometer. You will develop a sense of when your choices will keep you away from an aligned and purposeful path. Not being aware of this or by not taking measures to say no and even "not having time for people" can lead you astray to weaker, non-aligned choices that bring you back into the synthetic timeline(s). Personally, I think it's good to take Ferris Bueller's advice and pause to take a look around. Think of it as taking a break from a long car ride and then getting back on the road. Just be mindful that things will change soon as the two timelines become more apparent. If you're not seeing this perspective yet, you will soon.

A habit of distraction and a lack of both personal willpower and determination of your aligned disciplines will become a slippery slope of poorer unaligned choices. It should be noted that there are those who already made their choices (for worse) and are living with it even now, despite knowing the alternative path(s). The "fancy deals", "the alliances", and the false sense of security which when we look at it, is and will always stem from a foundation of fear and lack. Security from whom? Those controlling or aligned in the synthetic timeline(s). "Security" that sure isn't one of empowerment and sovereignty. Just remember to use your barometer. It's perhaps more unsaid contracts you need to recognise and to let go of to really remove yourself from synthetic timeline(s), reclaiming your energies and more importantly your overall sovereignty. That is another topic to which you can explore with @livinglessons.

So in closing, 2018 will be a year in which we make our choices (for better) as we re-claim stewardship of our lives, literally grow stronger every day in alignment and letting go of falsities, stepping into a path of knowing and trust. It's an organic system that works – and more people are coming into it. It's truly supportive. You'll begin to notice pockets and openings to where you'd never think there would be. Go with that flow. Don't believe. Know!
