Support Our Work

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

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!

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

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

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.

Vision of a New World 2.0

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 2 Comments

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.

It’s Only a Matter of Time

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.

Vindicated

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

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”)

Choosing Timelines

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / Leave a comment

As the year of the Wood Snake draws to a close and the year of the Fire Horse has not yet begun, we find ourselves within a choice point. As we have allowed all that no longer serves us to be consumed by the snake, we now reside within the emptiness of the Void between what has been and what has not yet come into being.

At this juncture we are being given the ultimate choice – will we remain on the path that is driven by perceived powers outside of us, or step off that path and onto the road of claiming our own power and authority?  Personal power, inner authority, and executive functioning are the gifts of the Fire Horse, should we choose to accept them. But first, we must get really clear on how we have given our power away to those we have considered our “authorities.”

The authorities of the past include:

  • Our perceptions about “God.”
  • Those we call “teacher.”
  • Those we have voted into power and entrusted with making decisions for us.
  • Celebrities.
  • Parents.
  • Pastors, priests, etc.
  • Employers/bosses.
  • Human Resource departments.
  • Union leaders.
  • So-called gurus.
  • Peer groups.
  • The media.
  • “Influencers.”
  • Romantic partners.
  • Our children.
  • And just to get the point across: GOD!

In one timeline, we will continue to rely on those outside of us to tell us what is true, what to do, how to act, while allowing them to make decisions for us (believing the lie they are working on our behalf). In this agreement, we are forever subject to the fearful and selfish whims of those we have put into power, and we will only and forever find ourselves powerless.

The timeline, into which the Fire Horse invites us, is that of personal power and authority. In learning how to accurately discern truth on our own, and owning that truth, we come to realize that not one human being knows more about who we are or what we need than ourselves. We are able to see through the illusion of falsehood behind which most people of “power” reside. We see that their motivations are their own and have nothing to do with our wellbeing or what we might need as an individual or a species.

For thousands of years we have lived within this dynamic of giving our power away – and look what it has gotten us…..a species on the brink of its own extinction by its own hand, and a world forever at war – not because people can’t get along, but because those we have placed in power can never get enough.

To this, we say “enough.”

Or do we?

For sixty years, I have lived this lesson, first doing what I was told and believing what I was taught because that was what made one a “good girl.” At a young age, I began to see through the cracks of this illusion and have spent the past 50+ years learning to discern my own truth by trusting what my gut tells me, above all else. Living that truth, however, has never been easy. From kindergarten on I have experienced the punishment that comes from challenging the status quo and questioning that which we are not meant to question. My gut has always proven itself to be true, but that has not made the journey any easier – I’ve lost community, so-called friends, belonging, and the ability to be “successful” within the current system and its rules.

Standing in our own authority costs us everything upon which the current system depends. I have found, however, that I can live no other way. If you found yourself drawn to this blog, I’m guessing you, also, cannot live any other way. The good news is that in the year of the Fire Horse, it will be those who choose to embrace their own inner authority and trust what their own heart tells them is truth, that will thrive. Those who remain in the path of attachment to the status quo, enslaved by external authorities will find themselves suffering in the same dumpster fire in which the world of fear, power, and control is currently heading.

Which timeline are you going to choose?

Interdimensional Exorcisms

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 1 Comment

Performing interdimensional work is somewhat of a mind-f*ck.  On one hand, the work feels very real wherein the physical and emotional bodies become fatigued by the effort. On the other hand, interdimensional work is neither visible nor tangible, and therefore, impossible to monetize. Who exactly does one invoice for work done on another plane or in ones dreams? And how does one explain to humans conditioned by capitalism that you had to spend the day on the couch watching Netflix because you were working all night in your dreams?

This is exactly what happened the other night. In a very vivid, in-color, hours-long (or what seemed like hours), I was fighting demons. More specifically, I was attempting to gather and protect humans who had not yet succumbed to demonic influences and turned into demons themselves. In part of the dream, I was identifying demons, and their minions, while locating those who had not yet given in to the demons’ touch. This part of the dream felt like a race against time as increasing number of humans were giving into their demon captors. The group of those who had not yet given in was small, but strong. We were hiding in a protected structure while watching the demons and humans-made demon wreaking havoc on the earth. The entire earth was ablaze with their evil destruction. Eventually the demons found us, and we were again on the run. It felt like being in an episode of The Walking Dead – heart pounding, sweat pouring from my brow, anxious in escape. As the demons were in pursuit, I uttered a prayer, and as if plucked from the battle, myself and those who remained untainted suddenly found ourselves in a beautiful Victorian style home, safe and protected from the demons who were continuing to wage war on our world. Once we arrived safely, I woke up from the dream, blurry eyed, out of breath, heart pounding, and exhausted from the journey.

This is what interdimensional work often looks and feels like. Whether in a dream or through a vision, we are THERE, in the center of another world which is, in fact, a reflection of our own. Here we are sent to complete our mission of Love. Sometimes we are battling demons. Other times, rescuing the innocent. Much of the work is about healing. All of it is about transformation – and all transformation is a kind of exorcism.

Exorcism, in some cases, may be like it’s portrayed in movies. More often, however, exorcism is simply about the inner healing that allows one to turn away from the fear that divides us and the Love that unifies. “Demons” are those individuals (or systems) who gain perceived power by manipulating us through our fears. Demons profit from our fear and gain from our division. Love heals the inner wounds that make us vulnerable to these demonic influences, thus depriving demons of their power.  This is how we as a species will regain our place in the world, no longer controlled by those in perceived positions of power, but empowered by Love to recreate the world we were meant to enjoy. The work of this healing is an inside job that is our own responsibility, at the same time, it is an “outside” job, transforming the collective consciousness that has been conditioned by fear.

Hence the need for, and the power of interdimensional work.  It’s just taken me awhile to own this as part of my mission in this world, to accept the strangeness of this part of the mission, and not feeling like I have to apologize or feel guilty for doing nothing on the day following a night of battle.

As for monetizing….I leave that up to the Universe. Somehow, someway, it always works out, and the material means find their way to me, allowing me to continue to pay my bills. Thank you to all those who have been a source of support as I perform the invisible work. I am eternally grateful! 

How to support our work

Minnesota is my Red Line

/ Lauri Ann Lumby / 4 Comments

I’m done.  I’m done giving people the benefit of the doubt and trying to find empathy, compassion, or understanding for their political beliefs when these beliefs justify violence (murder) of innocent people. To put it simply, there is absolutely nothing that makes humanity’s inhumanity to “man” right.

What has been happening in Minneapolis/Minnesota has become my final straw. I am all for reasonable immigration laws and the enforcement of those laws, but what the recently appointed ICE army has been doing in Minneapolis is unconscionable. These actions have been both enabled and celebrated by the current administration (Donald Trump) and by those who still support him, including state-funded media who twist visual evidence to justify murder.  It’s disgusting, immoral, and just plain evil.

To me, it is no longer about (truly, it never really was) Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Libertarian, or otherwise, it is a simple matter of human decency. If you cannot have empathy or compassion for someone who hasn’t had it as easy as you, who has skin of a different color, loves differently than you, is of an ethnicity different than your own, has different religious or spiritual beliefs, or god-forbid hasn’t yet learned English or wears a hijab or turban, then I don’t know how I can have a single ounce of respect for you. Actually – I don’t.

I’m not sorry. In my mind, human beings deserve to feel safe, to have access to food, clothing, shelter, an education and healthcare. If one does not have access to these things within their home country, they have the right to seek it elsewhere. If they do not have access to these things in OUR OWN country, they have the right and duty to DEMAND it. And it is the right and duty of those who have to create a path for those who do not have so they can get those needs met. If we don’t do these things for each other, then we have failed as a species.

As it relates to immigration, I’m not talking about open borders. I’m talking about basic human decency – putting ourselves in another’s shoes and asking, “if I was in this situation, what help and support would I need and how would I want to be treated?”  It is as simple as this.

And to the great people of Minnesota who have been standing up for what is right and working together to protect their neighbors and keep them safe, I thank you.  From the bottom of my heart I thank you. The world is watching and I could not be more proud of the example you have set that now others can follow. You have shown the world that it is truly the people who have the power.  Thank you!
