Dearest Friends,
With deep gratitude, and inspired by my fellow monastic, Cynthia Bourgeault, I am providing an opportunity for those who feel so-called to support my work in the world. I am inviting this support to be of the heart as a freely given (not coerced in any way) expression of your recognition and acknowledgement of the value you see in the (mostly invisible) work I am doing in support of the betterment of our world:
Providing ongoing messages of inspiration, and hope.
Shining a light on deception, disparity and injustice.
A life devoted to mindful presence.
Equipping and empowering loving presence and action in myself and others by healing the wounds that imprison us in fear.
Activating and unblocking the flow of Love through healing practices, prayer, and community engagement.
As the capitalistic world does not acknowledge the value of this invisible work, I am turning to you for support. I know you see me. I know you value who I am and what I have been doing on behalf of our world. If you feel called to this, I thank you.
My goal is 100 sponsors paying $10.00 each. When we reach this goal, it will go toward those expenses not currently covered by my existing part-time paying clerical job, and the small amount of income coming in through book royalties and existing sponsorships. As the Universe continues to transition me away from clients and teaching and toward the invisible work, your support will be invaluable. Thank you in advance for your support!

If I could condense the last ten years into a single statement of purpose, it would be this:
To make us see the true enemy.
Are you seeing it yet?
Hint: it may not be what you think.
In 2016 (likely LONG before that), certain powers stepped in, thinking that they would wrest power, control, and ludicrous wealth from, not only the American people, but the entire world. They have succeeded in this – disgustingly so. But at the same time, they have been showing us, if not who they are, WHAT they are:
PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL
I do not use this term lightly. There are truly no other words in our language that accurately describe those who would gladly sacrifice human lives and the planet for the sake of their own self-interest.
Initially, we may not have seen or understood the true intentions hidden behind the actions of those who have been tasked with carrying out Evil’s intention. By increasing frequency, however, they are showing us the hidden agenda behind what we might now identify as distractions.
To see this hidden agenda, and its true source (which I will call the enemy), we must have eyes willing to see and the courage to endure the disruption to our status quo.
The enemy’s purpose is to disturb, disrupt, and distract, and it does so by sowing division.
When we believe each other is the enemy, the true enemy succeeds in its mission. As we have been busy pointing the finger of blame at each other, the enemy is getting away with murder – and r*pe, abuse, and theft. In the accomplishment of their evil purpose, they have destroyed our planet, stolen the innocence of children, and taken the lives of millions of human beings.
The work of the enemy serves only themselves, but as they’ve been busy stealing our livelihood and peace from us, they have successfully cast us in a war between ourselves. “Pay no attention to the evil men behind the curtain – it’s your neighbor who is the enemy.”
We’ve been pitted against each other, but as time has marched on, increasing numbers of us are beginning to see the ruse. And with each new “crisis” created by the enemy, and propagated by their minions, we are being given another opportunity to see the truth behind the distraction:
Assassinations and assassination attempts.
Foreign wars.
Random military actions.
Tariffs.
Gas prices.
Eggs.
Toilet paper.
Epstein (both a distraction AND a big fat arrow pointing at the stronghold of evil).
Renaming buildings.
Building ballrooms.
Threatening the take-over of foreign nations.
Spreading falsehoods about nuclear weapons.
Etc. etc. etc. With each of these actions, we are thrown into a panic, and our resilience is tested.
The enemy wants us to be afraid. They want us to be preoccupied by each successive “crisis.” Panic clouds our ability to reason, discern truth from fiction, and see our world clearly. When we remain in a state blinded by fear, we are easier to manipulate. Look how easily we fell into hating each other during the pandemic when the true enemy was never ourselves, it was always those who benefitted from a world in fear.
To quote the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, “Fear is the mind-killer.” The enemy knows this and has been using fear as a weapon against us. But as the sisterhood taught, we have a choice about how we respond to that fear. We decide if we allow fear to be used against us, or if we, instead, find our way through it – to the truth.
The lesson that the last ten years has been trying to teach us is how to see the truth behind the chaos and confusion. It is not the surface things that are our enemy, it is the EVIL that lies beneath it. As more and more of us are seeing the truth beyond the illusion, EVIL is losing its power.
This then, is your practice. WHEN a new crisis is paraded before you and you feel the tentacles of fear creeping up your back, STOP. Acknowledge the fear. Name it. Then ask yourself, “who benefits from me being afraid (or caught up in the chaos)?” An easy hint: follow the money. Then SEE the evil for what it is. If the who presents itself, see that too. Then STOP again. Don’t give your power to that evil. Instead, find the peace within. It is in this peace that your power resides.
A short cut for the current “war” against Iran. This war has nothing to do with a nation wanting to free Iran of its oppressive leaders. Instead, it has everything to do with money – money made by stockholders through the industry of war, and money that promises to be made from Iranian oil. Included in this is a certain nation’s gluttonous desire for land and power which further supports the intentions of evil.
As I write this, American and Israeli troops, under the direction of their respective “leaders,” have waged war against Iran. My heart and my prayers go out to the innocent and for all who will come into harm’s way in this unjustified (IMO) attack.
The world has gone mad, and I am the first one who will willingly board the Mothership when she comes to take us all home. Unfortunately, this desire to be rescued by otherworldly beings is more than likely a fairytale we tell ourselves as we struggle to make sense of the insanity of this world and find some shred of comfort in a time where there is none (or seems to be none).
It’s the same compulsion that drives fantasies of the rapture or the physical “second-coming.”
It’s also the same delusion that has us believing (wishing, hoping, dreaming, pleading) that our elected officials have anyone else’s interest in mind but their own.
Salvation does not come from those indentured to the system – EVER. It can only come from those who are already free. As such, the hard reality is that no one is coming to save us because we are already here.
WE are the ones who are called to speak truth to power, call out the evil in our midst, and stand up against terror and injustice.
We are called to do this, each, in our own unique way, according to our individual gifts and calling. THIS is what the system wants us to forget and what the system has spent lifetimes beating out of us. In a system which seeks only power and control, there is no room for individual gifts or the empowerment of those gifts. As such, everything within the system is designed to keep us from our gifts and from the fruits that they will bring. In place of our gifts, we are trained to be obedient workers in a system that makes us poor and a very small minority exceedingly rich, while being convinced that obedience to this system is what makes us free. HAH! The biggest lie of all.
The reality is that as long as we are obedient to the system, allowing its conditioning to rule us, we will never be free. Instead, we lie back waiting for the Mothership or Congress to show up and do their damn jobs.
No one is coming to save us but ourselves. This is what we’ve been made for and why we find ourselves here during this time in human history. We are here to save ourselves, and this salvation begins right here, right now, within each and every one of us as we begin the processes of 1) unraveling from the system and 2) coming to know the truth of who we are outside of society’s chains.
We are here and we are the ones here to save us. How are you responding to that call?
With deep gratitude, and inspired by my fellow monastic, Cynthia Bourgeault, I am providing an opportunity for those who feel so-called to support my work in the world. I am inviting this support to be of the heart as a freely given (not coerced in any way) expression of your recognition and acknowledgement of the value you see in the (mostly invisible) work I am doing in support of the betterment of our world:

What Are Your Gifts?
Uniquely Gifted, created by Lauri Ann Lumby, OM, MATS was created to support you in knowing the truth that YOU are uniquely gifted to experience meaning and purpose in your life and to find fulfillment in the use and engagement of your gifts, first for yourself, and then, in service to the betterment of the world. Your gifts were given to you so that you might enjoy happiness, and your gifts are meant to be shared so that the world can become a better place for all of us to enjoy. You cannot become the person you were meant to be – achieving your greatest potential – without discovering, cultivating, nurturing and then sharing your gifts; and the world cannot become what it was meant to be without the gifts you have to share. For your own sake, and for the sake of the world, I thank you for giving yourself the permission and the time to explore your magic and discover your gifts!
Whereas there is a sense of vindication in witnessing all that I have been foreseeing come to pass, I find it all deeply and profoundly sad. I would rather have been proven wrong than to have to bear witness to the wholesale destruction of a nation – one that threatens to bring the rest of the world with it.
The United States is terminally ill. Whether this is the result of a faulty foundation, or more recent corruption, no longer matters. It is simply dying. In that dying, it is threatening all that many of us once held dear, or rather, it is revealing the illusions to which we have been clinging.
Our nation has never been truly free. The talking point with which we are repeatedly being pummeled, of the DOW Jones reaching 50,000, only proves this fact. From the beginning, and always, it has only been a select few who have truly been free – a freedom purchased with the wealth that gives them the perception of power.
That power, however, is now consuming itself. It is showing itself for who it truly is – Pure Unadulterated Evil.
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!!
Whether it be the puppets or the puppet masters, the true evil that runs, not only our nation but the world, is being unmasked. When a so-called world leader speaks nothing but lies on internationally broadcast television for 108 minutes, we can be certain of the lies upon which this nation and much of the world currently exists.
Yes, it is all a sham. And yet, it is still deeply and profoundly sad. Today, as I sit in the aftermath of recent performances, beyond the horror, disgust, and confusion, lies an inconsolable sorrow, and with that, a question. When the collapse is finally complete, will there be anything left of this nation, and how will those remaining ever recover?
Today, I sit in prayer for a release from this madness and for the healing of our nation and the world – believing truly that Love inevitably conquers evil. If you feel so-called, please join me in this prayer.

If we are sitting here waiting for justice to be served in all the loathsome and heinous crimes that have been perpetrated by those currently (and formerly) in perceived positions of power, we are wasting valuable time that could be spent getting on with the business of building the new world! As the dying world is busy making jaw-dropping statements and filming ludicrous videos, instead of giving these our attention, we could be building the new world. As the dying system clings to its perceived power and control by proposing laws that further deprive us of our freedoms, instead of worrying about their smoke and mirrors, we should be busy building the new world.
Now is the perfect time to get busy building because:
They’re not paying attention to us anyway.
The current system does not need to fall before the new can rise up in its place.
The seeds of the new world are already among and within us.
The work has already begun – right in front of our noses – if we know how to see it.
(Case in point, if you haven’t seen the masterful way in which Stephen Colbert worked around newly instituted network rules to make his interview with Texas State Representative, James Talarico, please watch it here.)
Regarding the death throes of the institution, in the immortal words of songsmith, George Thorogood, “That don’t confront me.” No longer is our work to witness in rapt attention, the dying world – its gasping, writhing, and wringing of hands. Our job is to let the dying world be, and as Jesus once said, “Let the dead bury the dead.”
Our work is done here. Instead, we are meant to build the new world. Step away from the distractions, including the search for justice, and get on with building. We need you. The world needs you.
How are you being called to help build the new world?
I’m recycling this article that was originally published in 2022, because why re-create perfection. As you are reading, and reflecting, I invite you to share your own vision of what our new world could be, and how you see yourself being part of that creation.
This morning while in meditation I was given a vision of the entrance into a new world. The entrance was made of two arched doorways atop of which was a stone crossbeam with the following words etched upon it:
…of the people, by the people, for all people.
Reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln’s prophetic hope for the rebirth of a nation, these words spoke to a new world that committed to undoing all the wrongs that prevented Lincoln’s vision for ever taking hold. When I read these words, I wept for a nation and a world that had failed itself. I then felt within me a renewed spark of hope – knowing that
deep within the potential of humanity is the possibility of rebuilding our world anew.
This new world was built by those who had survived the time of destruction and seen the devastation that had been brought about by humanity’s greed. Instead of creating more of what had been, humanity had come together to create something new.
Understanding that humanity’s survival was dependent on the wellbeing of the planet, care for the earth was now of primary concern.
Gone were the days of poisoning our waters, our air, and our soil. Banished were the chemicals and processes that sought to manipulate or control nature. These were replaced by ancient practices of sustainability directed first at caring for the land and second for harnessing the inherent cooperation of nature. Technology now worked on behalf of the earth and all who lived upon her and new technologies were developed that gave more to the earth than what it took.
Weary of the division that had imprisoned them in conflict, humanity came together in support of the common good.
Shifting their gaze from fierce individualism, decisions were now made in consideration of both the collective good and on how decisions might impact the most vulnerable among us.
Recognizing how the lack of self-awareness, personal and collective accountability had been the cause of the old world’s destruction, the new world placed psychological development of utmost importance –
with all education geared toward supporting the inherent giftedness of each individual
while providing the necessary resources and training through which one might best fulfill their potential. Success was now measured more by an inner sense of fulfillment than by one’s position in society.
More than anything, what defined this new world was a deep spirit of cooperation:
Each individual was valued for their unique contribution to the whole.
Every resource was counted as gift.
Diversity was celebrated as contributing to the betterment of the whole.
Harmony was valued above conflict and collaboration above competition.
In this new world, peace and compassion reigned, the magnificent beauty of nature was restored, and humanity lived in cooperation with each other, the planet, and all of creation. And life was good.
Tic…tic…tic…the Universal clock is ticking away the final minutes of the current timeline. As the flood of revelations continues and we are being made to see the full extent of the corruption of our world, the death of the current system(s) is nigh. There can no longer be any doubt about who is actually running our world and the deception of our involvement. We have never truly been in charge. Instead, it has been an invisible web of truly evil beings who are intent only upon their own wealth. They have never cared about us. But as Orpheus sings in Hadestown:
“I believe that we are many.
I believe that they are few.”
The truth of these sentiments is bearing out. We are witnessing the power of the people when we stand up against evil. It is also being proven that in the end, truth always wins out and deception cannot stand. As Jesus once said,
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.”
This is where we find ourselves as the final moments tick away – revelations of lies and the collapse of an empire clearing the way for a new world to begin. Which brings me to the point of this writing:
As our first world missions come to an end,
how are we being called to participate in the building of the new world?
This is the question we can begin to ask ourselves as the empire breathes its final breath, and as we enjoy a well-deserved sigh of relief. Seeing the end of this is our reward – it is what we have lived for. And now we allow ourselves to begin to dream of a new world, and our place in it.
Please watch this site for support in dreaming that new world into being.
Please allow me a moment of smugness as we all stand witness to EXACTLY what I’ve been talking about all these many years. There can now be no doubt that we are watching the patriarchal system, based in fear, power, and control, consuming itself. It has set itself on fire and it is imploding in front of our very eyes.
Every single day, we have become increasingly aware of the true evil and corruption that rules this system, watching in horror at what those in power have been doing and have been getting away with for – well…..likely hundreds of years.
Child-trafficking, pedophile, billionaires didn’t just show up out of nowhere. The underlying corruption and evil that has allowed for the “success” of these networks was already in place. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the deeply entrenched evil that rules our world.
I saw it. I called it. I’ve been ceaselessly pointing it out. For this I’ve been ignored, ridiculed and condemned – mostly by those benefitting from the system. But the reality is, I’m not alone. I’m not the only one who has seen, who has been witness, who has risked – well everything – to be a voice crying out in the wilderness heralding the collapse of everything we have come to know and rely on.
That world is dying….and good riddance! Aren’t we all sick and tired of being sick and tired? Haven’t we had enough of evil, greedy, gluttonous, narcissistic men becoming billionaires on the backs of our labors? Aren’t we exhausted from watching each other suffer – rather, aren’t our hearts tired from breaking? I know mine is.
It’s time. It’s time for the power system to burn itself to ash so that something new, more loving, more kind, more compassionate, more equitable can take its place.
As much as I want to scream, I F’ING TOLD YOU, I won’t. I just want this to be over so that we can get to the work we were placed here to do – building the new world.
(and….as I’m watching everything I foresaw coming to pass, I do feel a little bit vindicated – not gonna lie! “sips wine”)
