A Fork in the Road
At a certain point, divisive forces create their own path ... and it's a road you don't want to travel.
"Stupid is as stupid does," said Forrest Gump. And at this point, the amount of stupid on this planet has reached incalculable proportions.
And yet, at the same time, there is a growing brilliance.
People of immense wisdom and maturity are speaking out for freedom all around the globe. Some are developing alternative schools and creative media innovations. Some are running for office. Some are brave doctors and researchers attempting to educate the masses and world governments about the sinister dangers of Big Pharma and organizations like the WHO and CDC, while actually ministering to the growing legions of the sick and disabled around them.
True, the voices and doings of such people are usually overshadowed by the flash! bang! of character attacks and general smear campaigns. But they persevere. They persevere because all that matters to them is truth, common sense and decency, and making a positive difference.
Standing along with them are the many millions around the world who are actually conscious vs. “woke.”
Freedom-loving individualists doing their own research (once upon a time called "reading") versus the glazed media zombies around them. Decent Janes and Joes trying to make a living in the face of rapacious globalists vying for ever-tighter control.
The antidote to stupid—mature individuals forging connections, bridges and hope with authenticity, passion, tolerance, and love.
The scales of Ma'at
The wildly disparate nature of these different social camps dominating society seems to be commanding some sort of crossroads to appear.
I've been saying for years that the scales of Ma'at—the ancient Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice and Order—can only take so much stress without disintegrating altogether.
A world so wildly out of balance with itself cannot sustain. The overwhelming tension between common sense and deranged ego fantasies, material versus "spiritual" values — the love of power versus the power of love — cannot go on forever. Can it?
Surely, a fork in the road seems inevitable. Maybe not as a literal fork in a road somewhere (I couldn’t resist using the above illustration!), or something as bizarre as the much touted, loudly hoped-for Christian Rapture.
But a dividing of the ways between opposing camps none the less.
A wild story
Speaking of the Rapture (my fingers keep wanting to spell it Ratpure) let me tell you an interesting story.
Back when the Internet was still fresh and new—sometime around 2002 or so—I ran across an article written by American broadcast journalist and former CBS news anchor Dan Rather about a commencement address he'd given to some Ivy League college graduating class.
I've tried numerous times over the years to track down the original story, and have failed. I've even reached out to Mr. Rather to corroborate the information and have not heard back. So, the following will have to be considered as hearsay.
Basically, Rather recounted interviewing a senior Conservative Republican Senator, asking the aging US public servant (and I paraphrase), "Why do you and other Conservatives like yourself keep voting against legislation aimed towards protecting the environment, mitigating climate change etc.? How can you possibly be so short-sighted and negligent regarding the planet's resources and our great-grand-children's wellbeing?"
The Senator shook his hoary head and answered, "Son, you just don't get it. We're doing the world a favor.
“The faster we can destroy this Devil's playground, the faster we can get to the time of the last tree falling ... the faster we can get to the Rapture and the return of Jesus Christ, the better. We're trying to save the faithful from more suffering son! We're trying to shorten the Tribulation and get on to our just rewards!"
No, I am not making this up.
I remember the story hit me like a dead squid. Not because it was ludicrous, but because of the credibility of the source and how much horrifying sense the Senator's response made.
Up to that moment, the voting record of the Conservative element in US and global governments had remained inexplicable and stupidly mysterious to my mind. Now, suddenly, the whole thing came clear.
Much of the Conservative vote in the US Congress and other democratic governments around the world isn't political.
It’s evangelical.
The END is Nigh
Today, the religious composition of the 117th US Congress is 88 percent Christian. Over 58 percent of American citizens believe we are living in "the end times."[i] Over 61 percent of evangelical leaders say they believe in the Rapture.[ii] And approximately 25 percent of all Christians are evangelical in their beliefs.[iii]
The more divisive and crazy the world becomes, the more “rapture” movies like Jerusalem Countdown, Left Behind and The Moment After hit the silver screen, scaring the crap out of people ...
OMG! Will I be saved? Will I be left behind?
Hopefully, these films also trigger some honest self-reflection in those who view them, prompting more serious questions, like: How are we going to get out of the mess we're in? How am I contributing to the mess we're in? Am I worthy of being saved? If not, how do I become worthy?
Back in ancient Egypt, the ideals of Ma'at promoting truth, social order, and balance, made the pathway to individual worthiness infinitely clear. Aside from the obvious things like "thou shalt not kill, steal, lie, cheat, or commit adultery," the 42 Ideals Egyptian citizens were encouraged to embrace included such things as:
· I have not acted hastily or without thought
· I have not polluted the water
· I have not exaggerated my words when speaking
· I have not placed myself on a pedestal
· I have not falsely accused anyone
· I have not behaved with violence
· I have not made anyone cry
· I have not overstepped my boundaries of concern
Last week I asked the question "What is Worth?” And while that essay delivered more questions than answers, this week's contemplation about the inevitability of a split between camps and the image of the Rapture is bringing me around to an actual definition:
Worth is a measure of one's alignment with life and nature's laws.
Am I worthy? Am I worthy of life? Am I worth keeping around? Am I adding to or depleting life? Am I polluting the waters? If so, how? With my violence? My hatred? My despair? My lust? My guilt? My avarice? My fear?
Am I a taker? A giver? Is my presence on this Earth a gift or a burden? Am I balanced? Imbalanced? If imbalanced, how can I change this situation for the better? How do I live by the Ideals of Ma'at?
“How do I live in alignment with life itself?”
Not to be strident about this or anything, but I think that's the basic question we all should be asking ourselves at this point.
A basic confusion
For a very long time and for various reasons, including thousands of years of deliberate interdimensional interference and religious programming by the Powers That Be, we have confused life's pure eternal intelligence with a god or gods.
To be sure that's understandable, because life is a great mystery. Binary human brains can't fathom eternal life with no beginning or end. Something must have started the ball rolling. Some vast, incomprehensibly powerful, all-knowing God that's so far ABOVE us we pale to insignificant worms in HIS Almighty Presence must be responsible.
This is The Great Assumption.
Never mind this assumption stems from 1) a grossly limited perception of life (deliberately programmed into us); 2) an absolute amnesia regarding our true nature as eternal beings of pure love (also programmed into us); and 3) an appalling sense of inferiority, insecurity, and self-hatred (also programmed into us.)
Once the preceding programming kicks in and we make The Great Assumption, we quickly start organizing all human creations thereafter under the overarching energetic of HIERARCHY.
We create theocracy, with God and religion and its priests at the top of our social organizational structure—a structure held solidly in place via a better than/less than pecking order based in judgment.
From there, power rapidly devolves into political hierarchy couched in the Divine Right of Kings. From there it's a short journey to tyranny, corruption, mandates, control, law, and violent enforcement of that law.
Even in so-called democratic nations, government isn't focused on public wellbeing. It's focused on hierarchy—who’s higher up than Who—party politics, power, and control.
It's been the same game played out over and over again in various forms for thousands of years.
A matter of responsibility
The Rapture is just one more example of this hierarchic energetic. The whole thing is based upon the belief that Christ is better than you and me, that he died to pay for our sins, and that it's up to Him to rescue us from ourselves.
Never mind he said "Follow me"—not as a FaceBook command seeking mindless devotees, but as a bid for people to rise in integrity and follow his example, taking absolute responsibility for their lives, becoming stewards of life/love as he was/is.
Like millions are doing today, Yeshua Ben Joseph aka Jesus stood up for love.
He stood for life. He stood staunchly for freedom and integrity, compassion and equality. He stood for fierceness and tenderness. He stood for the 10 Commandments and such things as the Ideals of Ma'at and commanded us to do the same: to stand up and freaking LIVE in alignment with life's intelligence, no matter how difficult it might become to do so.
This is what Jesus asked of us.
So, it's utterly fascinating—in a repugnant, fireball, multiple-car-crash kind of way—that the Rapture represents a total absence of self-responsibility and a complete lack interest in standing up for any of those things.
The Rapture seems to represent a complete abnegation of life and a total lack of caring about anyone or anything … except one's own hide.
Which is exactly why we're in the pickle barrel we're in today.
How will this play out?
I certainly don't know, but I find it interesting that an organization focused on remote viewing that calls itself The Future Forecasting Group was recently given the target H506-B3T9 to investigate.[iv] (Remote viewing is basically psychic information gathering.)
Turns out the target was "The Split" aka the Rapture Event. Working in teams, the Viewers all saw an event spanning from what was described as ancient Egypt into the present day. A major cataclysmic event in the heavens "that required one's loyal submission or worship to higher beings."
The summary report I read went on to describe the takeover of Earth by the alien "Greys," the introduction of AI into a zombiefied human population, more control, more hierarchy, more bloodshed ...
In other words, more of the same hierarchical dynamics we already have—just exponentially uglier.
Which leads me to wonder ... and please, correct me if the logic of the following scenario is faulty. But if the elevation of hierarchy and submission to an Authority other than life itself—a choice marked by a surrendering of self-responsibility and all respect for life (including respect for ourselves and all the other beings here on Earth)—has led to the current crumbling of society and general mayhem, and the Rapture is predicated upon exactly the same dynamic of hierarchy and submission ... doesn't that mean everyone getting "swept up" is headed towards more of the same hierarchical dynamics we already have—just on an unimaginably worse scale of awful?
Kinda like getting sucked into a Cosmic vacuum cleaner? Or a VERY large alien spaceship whose destination you really don’t want to know about?
The whole thing reminds me of an old Twilight Zone show back in the 1960s. These apparently-nice aliens land and present the President of the United States with a book in their (very strange) language titled “How to Serve Man.”
They say they desire to serve humanity because we’re such amazing beings, or something like that. And they entice thousands of humans onto their spaceships with destination images of tropical paradises where humans relax all day sipping umbrella drinks on the beach, while being waited upon, hand and foot.
Until the hero of the show finally translates the rest of the book and discovers …
It’s a cookbook.
Puts a different spin on being “left behind” now doesn’t it?
Love and Much Aloha ~

So agree with this. And I wonder, in terms of what the remote viewers reported, how much these influences impacted what they saw? Thanks.
Amen indeed! Thank you Cate for your beautiful insight. God can ONLY be love, happiness and peace. And we are That. We are divine in miraculous manifestation 😍
There’s no separation.
