Creating a New World

Humanity’s Only Hope

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

As humanity approaches the brink of its own extinction, my thoughts have turned to a single question: What if anything will save them? The answer is simple but is likely not something humanity wants to hear or do because the answer lies, not outside of them, but within.

Along with casting blame outside of them, humanity also loves projecting solutions. They’re waiting for a messiah, a savior, the Second Coming – really anyone other than themselves to fix what is wrong and make everything right again.

The problem is that humanity did this to themselves by forgetting who they are while denying the inherent power they have within. Instead, they have attributed this power to gods, kings, priests, and popes. In this grand forfeiture, humanity created a hierarchy assigning value according to one’s place within the hierarchy, leaving most human beings out of the equation – thereby reducing themselves to slaves.

Humanity has become enslaved to the very people they gave their power to. The only way out of this imprisonment is for humanity to take their own power back, by remembering who they are. (Change NEVER comes from those who benefit from keeping humanity small.)

Remembering who we are, however, is easier said than done. It’s not something you can purchase from the latest new age teacher or shaman, neither is it something that can be completed in a weekend workshop or retreat. Instead, true remembrance can only be accomplished through a many-years long practice requiring discipline, persistence, diligence, and radical personal accountability.

Remembering who we are is a slow and patient process of identifying and stripping away the layers of who we are not in order to uncover the treasure of who we are. Then we have to practice what we are remembering until it is no longer just a practice, but becomes fully integrated within us.

Remembering who we are leads us to answering the following questions:

  • Who am I?
  • Whose am I?
  • What are my unique gifts and how am I called to engage in them for my own fulfillment and then share them for the betterment of the world?

In a nutshell, remembering who we are is about identifying our gifts and then healing the infinite number of layers of woundedness, trauma, betrayal, rejection, and societal conditioning that has told us we aren’t gifted and our gifts don’t matter (have no value).

Remembering our gifts requires radical accountability, humility, and the willingness to be vulnerable. In this search, we become aware of the defense mechanisms we have honed so that we might have the illusion of being safe in an unsafe world. Those defense mechanisms might include: jealousy, self-righteousness, prejudice, racism (conscious or unconscious), sexism, a compulsion toward revenge, pride, manipulation, and more. We are also invited to explore our own place within the hierarchy and the privilege we gain from that, along with how we might use that privilege to elevate ourselves while repressing others.

Remembering who we are is the true hero’s journey. It takes courage, determination (often to the point of being stubborn), and the willingness to learn from our failures.  Because, fail we will. Remembering and Being/Living are two different things.

Failure is predictable. When we gain a glimpse of remembrance, all our resistance to change rises up to challenge us. More than death, humanity fears change. As such, we cling to our defense mechanisms, we hang on to the status quo, we are terrified at the prospect of losing who and what we know.

Loss is integral to the journey of remembrance. More specifically – letting go. In order to live more and more fully as our true selves, we must let go of all that which hinders that remembrance.  This includes friends, jobs, relationships, places of perceived belonging, perceived status, etc. While we may find some measure of comfort in the familiar, there is no liberation or freedom there.

If humanity truly wants to be free, it must remember itself because at the heart of this remembrance is LOVE. Love, more than anything, is who we are. When we remember the Love that we are, it changes everything – how we move in the world, how we treat fellow human beings, how we come together in cooperation as a species, and how we treat our world.

Love is humanity’s only hope and is the key for each individually to find contentment in this life regardless of what is happening “out there.”

Preparing for Splashdown

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

As I write this, I am coming off a morning of relentless “spiritual 911” calls. Those who have my private number, checking in with the same set of “symptoms,” and wondering if the cause of the symptoms is their own, or relating to the world. And wondering, what, if anything, they can do about it.

The short answer: it is most definitely the world.

The longer answer: a certain someone can step on their own d*ck only so many times before toppling over onto their own house of cards. This Sunday’s actions herald the beginning or perhaps the end) of the end. Whether by Congress, or the Supreme Court, or by some other yet to be revealed source, the pressure cooker in which we’ve been living is coming to an end.

The anxiety that so many are currently feeling is at once, the natural trepidation over what all will be destroyed as the end draws near, and the very real knowledge of the conflicting cavalcade of emotions roiling about in preparation for what is soon to be.

The what will be is two-fold: a complete and total meltdown of a system that has imprisoned humanity for thousands of years and the simultaneous splashdown of a whole new world and way of living together as human beings.

That is…..if “he” doesn’t destroy us all first.

The if, what, and how of the meltdown/splashdown is not ours to know. It is not something for which we can plan. The only thing we can do is be with what is as it is unfolding. As we are being with the unfolding, we are invited to be sources of healing and support for ourselves and others. The “what is” and “what will be” is not personal. It is simply the throes of a system  facing its own death. As sensitive human beings, however, we will be feeling it:  anxiety, pressure, headaches, body pain, restlessness, impatient, sorrowful, angry, even depressed. That which arises in us is a bit of our own fear, but more likely it is the feelings of the collective. Whether it is ours or belongs to someone else, we are not powerless.  Instead, this is our invitation to become empowered.

Here are some practices I have found to be helpful as the world is working out its own shit:

  1. Witness: I have learned that these energies are ours to fix or heal. Instead, they simply want to be seen and acknowledged. When feeling the rise of anxiety or pressure, close your eyes, envision the fear, anxiety, grief, etc. in your minds eye…..and just look at it. No judgement – just witnessing and acknowledging. As we bear it witness, it eventually dissipates and we are restored to peace.
  2. Nothing is Personal: These discordant energies, for the most part, are not our own. These are the manifestation of collective consciousness (what some might call demons)  – the energies that have arisen out of 5000 years of human enslavement which are losing their power over us. These energies have become “living things” intent on their own survival – they don’t give up easily. And yet, Love is winning, and these energies are losing their power. As they are preparing for their departure, they are making themselves known. Think of these “demons” you are feeling as asking you to see them as they say goodbye. (Don’t let the screen door hit you on the ass as you leave little demons!  Bye!)
  3. It’s just a movie: I don’t mean this to be dismissive of the very real feelings we are having as the world around us implodes. But when we allow ourselves to cultivate detachment, we are able to distance ourselves a bit from the intensity. I find it helpful to think of it like watching a movie. I mean, seriously, art has been showing us all along where we are going and life itself has become more ridiculous than art. I did not have a war between POTUS and Pope on my 2026 bingo card! It’s actually kind of hilarious. I just wonder, is it a Divine Comedy or a Comedy of Errors. Maybe both! 
  4. You are not alone: Check in with your team/tribe/support system. If you are feeling off, overwhelmed, terrified as the system burns itself to the ground, seek support. It may be as simply as texting a close friend, “Hey, are you feeling this too or am I losing my mind?”  Most likely, it’s the former. And if your trusted friend circle isn’t enough, reach out to a professional you trust.
  5. Prepare for Splashdown: As the old world continues its dying, the new world is coming into form. At this point, we have no idea what this new world will look like, or what our roles will be in that world. We can, however, be attentive in our own lives to what is asking to leave so that room can be made for the new. We are also invited to pay attention, specifically to what feeds us and gives us joy – and be more of that. Every decision we make, not out of fear, but out of love, joy, and compassion, becomes a seed from which the new will take root and come into being.
  6. More than anything – BE LOVE. Be love to yourself. Be love to your loved ones. And most difficult of all – be LOVE to your (perceived) enemies. We may find ourselves surprised at who people become on the other side of this collapse and the love that they might need. Even the AntiChrist longs to know Love.

To Be, Not to Seem

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

Esse quam videri

To be, not to seem.

From the roots of the ancients.

Fire at my finger tips.

A burning in my soul.

Older than memory.

Anchored in DNA.

Long before religion.

More timeless than language.

A knowing beyond explanation.

Comprehended by few.

It cannot be put-on.

Only lived.

Recognizing our brethren

By the authenticity in their soul.

We know,

so we are.

Where all falsehoods fall away –

unable to stand.

Mirrors for remembrance

and for seeing what is true,

and where all that seems to be

disappears from view.

Immobilized

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 2 Comments

Exploring Healer Fatigue and Empath Paralysis

Since February 28, 2026, when the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, I have found myself immobile – unable to accomplish anything other than what is absolutely essential. Somedays, even the essentials are left on the sidelines. It’s not that I’m fixated on the war, perseverating over what is happening along with the possible outcomes, or even actively worried.

Being made immobile is just another symptom of being an empath and a healer.

I can’t help it. Even when I tell myself, “I’m accomplishing this today,” I find I cannot. I can’t say that I’m depressed or even anxious. Instead, I am simply aware that as humanity is trying to destroy itself, my BEING is actively working on behalf of this suicidal species.

All the oil in the world is not worth the wholesale destruction of a nation – especially as the US and Israel are actively destroying the very oil they say they are after. I call foul! We know this war isn’t about oil. Neither is it about Iran’s “oppressive” regime. The ones truly in need of regime change are those who shot the first shot. I digress…

My point is that if you are an empath, a healer, a lightworker, you may also be finding yourself immobilized – Unable to do – only allowed to BE.

As much as I want to deny or ignore the “whoo whoo” that would even suggest such a thing could be possible, I am increasingly finding it is the only thing that truly makes sense. As a practical, hard-working, first-born Capricorn, I have taken great pride in my ability to be productive – to get things done, and to be somewhat in control of my fate. All these points of pride have flown out the window the closer we come to human extinction.

Instead:

I have had to become excruciatingly comfortable with doing nothing, while believing in the invisible magic of simply being. With zero tangible evidence, I have had to rely on the faith that all this doing of nothing is amounting to something. I have had to force myself to trust that while it may appear as if I’m unproductive, I am being used for some higher purpose. Without knowing what I’m doing, how it’s being done, or what the impact may or may not be, I have had to believe that all will be well – especially when every material example says otherwise. Because no matter the amount of effort or thought I put into DOING – every effort has failed.

These are the days I wish someone would wave a magic wand and I would simply and confidently believe that as I am immobilized, a higher purpose is being fulfilled. My intention has always been to be a vessel through which Love can be made real in our world, and my prayer has been, “I am the servant of the Lord Love. Let it be done to me according to your word.” Perhaps this is my prayer being answered.

While Humanity Sorts Itself Out

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 1 Comment

It is bizarre and surreal to stand back watching humanity attempting to destroy itself while having literally nothing to do. By nothing, I mean nothing. Between my own business which has had little to no activity in the past several months, and the snowstorm of the century, I’ve been immobilized. Usually, I’m ok with having nothing to do, especially knowing that even before the storms, many of us had already been sequestered. But knowing we’ve been sequestered and experiencing sequestering are two different things.

The future of humanity is literally out of our hands.

So now we watch in rapt attention to the heaving death rattle of the empire – each action more dramatically ridiculous than the one prior – and shake our heads in bewilderment. Will humanity never learn?

Power built on fear will always destroy itself.

So we stand back and watch in horror as humanity sorts itself out. Will it continue to choose war to sort out its need for domination or to decide conflicts and will these wars lead to the eventual wholesale destruction of humanity? Time will tell.

In the meantime, we wait.

In this waiting, I now understand the meaning of those who have called the human experience a simulation. When observed from a place of sequestering, it feels like watching children experimenting with different ways to play together, trying to figure out the dynamics of being human, while getting their undeveloped needs met, disintegrating in a tantrum when not getting ones way, and then coming back around with a new set of tactics. What happens if I act like a bully? What if I ask nicely? What if I offer a compliment or praise? Will sucking up work? None of this? Ok, then I’ll drop a b*mb.

All of this would be unnerving if we hadn’t seen it all before. The same game played over and over and over as humanity tries to figure their shit out. Do you think they know there is a history of how all of these efforts have previously failed and that there is a guide (several actually) for how to make and enjoy peace in our world? If they continue at this rate, the world may never know.

Sequestered

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

We’ve done our work –

all we were meant to do.

We’ve delivered our message of Love.

Issued invitations.

Planted seeds.

Sowed the remedies

for healing the wounds of division

            and returning ourselves to Love.

We’ve done this for ourselves.

We’ve done this for the world.

Our work is now complete as we step back and wait.

Held in the container of protection and love…

            we continue to make for ourselves…

                        and for all who would join us.

Waiting to see what humanity will choose –

            It’s out of our hands and into theirs.

Will they choose Love

            or condemn themselves to another eternity of hatred and fear?

Support Our Work

Purpose: to secure on-going, sustainable support for the work of service I provide to the world.

Goal: 100 individuals who are willing to sponsor my work with a monthly gift* of $10.00 or more.

BONUS: Unlimited access to all of my online courses (one course at a time) for those committing to a sponsorship gift of $100.00 per month or more.

(*gift: as I am not a 501c3, and as no goods or services will be exchanged, for tax purposes, your sponsorship would be considered a gift.)

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!

Sponsorship:

Becoming a sponsor is easy. Simply follow the Paypal link below.  Set the amount you would like to contribute. Choose “help with fees” if you feel called. Select “monthly” for your frequency of payment. Then choose how you want to pay: via Paypal, Venmo, or credit card.

Or, go directly to my personal Venmo account and choose a monthly payment cycle. (No fees are charged when you mark the support as a “gift.”)

Who is the Real Enemy?

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

The unfolding revelation

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.

Political crises are rarely what they seem.

We’re the Ones We’ve Been Waiting for

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

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?

State of the Union

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.
