The Hall of Mirrors
Ever since writing last week's Substack I've been in a sort of daze of disbelief ...
I never really “grokked” the French Revolution until I walked down the famous Hall of Mirrors at Versailles Palace outside of Paris. It was in the room pictured above that the sheer, staggering excess of the place—and the 17th century French aristocracy in general—finally hit me. Gold-plated everything. Crystal chandeliers the size of small cars lighting vast painted murals. Marble floors and 357 enormous mirrors reflecting the light of 17 arched windows overlooking the opulent Versailles gardens.
And this was a hallway, used on rare occasions for balls or games held for royal weddings.
Contrasted with the cramped, stinking hovels the vast majority of French peasants lived in, that hallway and the rest of the palace of Versailles were … appalling.
The indifference to general human wellbeing and the casual cruelty of excessive wealth that place demonstrated were breathtaking. Walking the Hall of Mirrors I had no difficulty imagining Marie Antoinette, upon hearing about the bread shortage and the starving French populace, saying “Let them eat cake!” The realities of poverty and the suffering were nothing to her.
No wonder the people revolted!
The only other time I’ve had a chance to truly grasp the distance between the 1/10th of the One Percent and the rest of us (a situation that truly hasn’t changed in hundreds of years) was in 2015 when I got off a tourist boat on the main commercial quay at the harbor of the Greek island of Mykonos.
The tour boat holding 150 people (About the size of the small white boat on the right in the picture) was dwarfed by the opulent yachts of the Oh-So-Rich—gangplanks lowered and guarded by burly guards dressed in yachting gear whose job it was to keep the gawking riffraff at bay.
Different planets
We don’t have to visit another planet to visit another planet. Versailles and the sociopathic, self-centered consciousness that built it upon the backs of an impoverished people was a different planet than the majority of French citizens knew and experienced. The world of the Modern Elite with their massive yachts is light years from the world I inhabit. (Thank God!)
But you don’t have to compare lifestyles and the consciousness that creates them to discover such mind-blowing differences. A different planetary existence is available to each one of us to experience on a daily basis—right here, right now.
All we have to do is have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
For example, I landed on another planet last week when I started writing about one thing and somehow ended up being guided to write about something else: The unholy Christian communion as a cannibalistic rite straight out of Satanic ritual and the Black Mass.
Yes, that’s the reality-behind-the-scenes that unveiled itself to me as the words of We Don’t Receive the Spirit. We Already ARE Spirit spilled out onto the page. (If you haven’t read that essay I highly recommend doing so.) As I wrote each sentence, the horror of what “communion” really is and what it was designed to be and accomplish became more raw and more devastatingly real with every word blossoming in my brain.
And then came the ghastly realization that by kneeling at the alter in church on Sundays, eating the wafer and drinking the wine, I’d participated in a Satanic ritual … with my mother no less … over and over again.
How do you even begin to wrap your head around that?
A personal betrayal at the hands of the most trusted person in your whole life: your priest, in the most holy sanctum in your life—your church, in the holiest institution in your whole country and much of the world???
NOTE: I am absolutely NOT saying that common, low-level priests, reverends and pastors like the aging, mild-mannered Episcopalian priest who presided at the communion rites when I was in my teens are in on this.
NO!!
Undoubtedly, the vast vast majority of sincere pastors called to minister in this world are as clueless (and as brainwashed) as I was into believing communion is the holiest of all possible acts.
No. It’s mostly the gold-robed, jewel-encrusted, palace-dwelling, mitered Catholic Powers-That-Be who understand the real meaning behind this deliberately-created act … the purpose of which (the best I understand it so far) I will reveal in just a moment. But first …
A wakeup call within a wakeup call
A few days after We Don’t Receive the Spirit. We Already ARE Spirit was published, my healer/soul alchemist friend from Santa Fe, Robin Duda, called and asked me bluntly “Why did you write about that?”
And I was like, “I didn’t mean to write about it … it just came out. You know I kind of channel when I write.” And she said:
“So, what are your feelings around what you wrote?” And I said:
“Feelings? I have no idea. I’m still wrestling with disbelief.” And she said:
“Yeah. I was afraid of that.”
Turns out that by being so unaware of the energetics behind the revelation, it was possible I was being used by the very interdimensional intelligences I was trying to expose.
For example, Robin pointed out that by dropping such highly flammable information into a public forum like I did—without preparation and context, development and a deeper understanding of the energies involved—I was possibly dealing in sensationalism, thereby 1) triggering excitement at a surface level in people (anger, horror etc.)—energy that could be fed off of; 2) inciting outrage (more energetic food), thereby turning people OFF of the helpful information, while 3) leaving people who believed what I was saying with no helpful way to proceed with dealing with their own feelings about the subject.
In other words, by being unconscious about the way I was revealing this spiritual deception, I wasn’t necessarily helping like I thought I was. Which is why I’m writing all this today. It’s an attempt at bringing some context, development and a deeper understanding of the energies involved to this massively important issue.
Going deeper
Thanks to Robin, what is being made obvious to me amidst the maelstrom of thoughts, emotions, feelings and insights, is that we can’t stay on the surface with such potent revelations.
The need is great to go deeper into myself—waay deeper. To make my own psychic and spiritual connections and sensitivities more well-honed and acute so that I can step into a place of greater strength and inner stability. Through aligning with love and the intelligence of life itself, grounding into my body and the inner flame of my own light/love, awake to my own inner guidance, as well as to nuances and outside influences … I am thus safe to plumb greater depths of understanding.
In other words: Waking up on a different planet can’t be just a matter of going, “Wow! Cool! I’m on a different planet now!” Because if I’m not awake enough, sensitive enough, I might end up being manipulated just as effectively in this new geography as I have been in the past.
It’s not enough to have information and stay on a surface level with the headlines. It’s not just about what the headlines reveal about the reality we live in. What’s important is understanding:
Who we have believed ourselves to be versus Who We Really Are
How we arrived at being tricked and what that did to us. And …
How we can learn to assess, deal with, and powerfully transform in these upsetting times by accessing deep awakened knowledge from within.
The agenda
I said it in Cracking the Matrix, I’ve said it here in this Substack column, I say it constantly in podcasts and radio shows: The agenda of the Powers That Be, both seen and unseen, is to get us—beautiful, powerful Creator Spirits of Love—to debase ourselves and lower our light frequency until it matches the low-level energies of the negative beings in power. At which point our minds and our bodies can be taken over and used by these beings.
That’s it.
And what better way to lower a person’s inner light and pull them from grace, than to have them willingly—nay eagerly—partake of another human’s flesh and blood? Which is exactly what the “miracle” of transubstantiation is supposed to accomplish.
And then the eating of the “wafer” and the drinking of the wine—as flesh and blood in our minds, accepted in our hearts as such—induces the low-level vibration of cannibalism into our own flesh and blood. Corrupting us at the most basic level of our cellular structure, it also, subconsciously, rings an ugly bell that takes its toll upon our psyches—which are fully aware of what the act really is about.
Dealing
Dealing with the ugly truths on this new planet we’re all living upon—which in truth is the Old Planet, the Old World which is rapidly imploding under the weight of its own entropic, low-vibe, anti-life orientation—requires a larger attention set and deeper skills of knowing.
Moving into the New World—the New Earth that has long been prophesied—is demanding a new way of doing things. And part of the new way of doing things is to refuse to skate on the surface of issues, ignoring the depth of the feelings that are evoked when we stumble into a new area of understanding.
We’ve been taught not to feel for a long time. (Thank you John Wayne movies.) And there is always so much terrible scary stuff happening around us in this world—deliberately keeping us in fear—that it is all too easy to shut down our feelings out of sheer overwhelm and a needed sense of survival.
But our inner feelings are guideposts. That’s why there is such a push to have us close them off.
Our feelings help us to know 1) what dysfunctional, limiting thoughts/feelings/actions need to be recognized and released; and 2) they help us to receive, absorb and embody healthy new insights/feelings/actions that arrive from the expanded, reclaimed spirit of Who We Really Are.
So … if, like me, you are feeling the impact of suddenly arriving on a new planet where everything from medicine, to government, to the holiest of Christian rituals have been transformed from goodness into horrific devices of manipulation and control … then I urge you to do what I am doing:
Sit with this new awakening and be open to your feelings about it.
When a feeling comes up, ask to know what it is trying to tell you about yourself in relation to that particular topic.
Strengthen your sense of self-love and the protection it provides by regularly doing an energetic clearing, getting rid of negative influences and bolstering your alignment with life/pure love.
You can do this by doing a great process Robin Duda gave me to put in my book Cracking the Matrix. It was recently published as an article titled “Deal with Your Shadow and Other Negative Forces,” by Inner Self Magazine and can be found online at: https://www.innerself.com/personal/happiness-and-self-help/life-changes/30253-deal-with-your-shadow-and-negative-forces.html
That’s all I can come up with at the moment. As I said, it’s taken me days in a daze to even begin to write about all this. But I am excited and profoundly encouraged by the depth and the realness of it all.
God only knows, the New World I used to imagine in my naïveté bears no resemblance to what is now coming forth. And that’s a good thing!!!
Much love and aloha ~
Speaking of the Hall of Mirrors!
I was recently on Anna Anderson's podcast Quantum Living, and we had a VERY JUICY and unusual discussion on "The Hall of Mirrors" as both a metaphor and life experience from which we can’t escape. In it we discussed a wide range of topics, including:
Are we living in a simulation?
What is the only true beacon we can trust and hold onto?
Why self-empowerment is crucial to our spiritual and physical sovereignty
ENJOY!!
Check out the book:
Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom
For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible Intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The Archons, AshShaytān, wetiko, windingo, e'epa, antimimos, Satan ... the names are legion.
Cracking the Matrix explores the astounding history and nature of what humanity has erroneously labeled "evil" on this planet, helping people finally see the very real, negative, interdimensional influence that exists behind historic and current global events and our social decline.
The book outlines how to break free of this Force's ancient controlling agenda and how people can stand up in the power of their true spiritual nature, ready to create the New Heaven and the New Earth that have so long been prophesied.

Very powerful piece. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and perspective on what's going on. I totally agree with you! And I also appreciate your and Robin's protocol for clearing. I'm going to use that. Deep gratitude!
Beautifully expressed, and I fully related to what you write.
10-20 minutes a day of simply sitting and absorbing pure love, and time in nature are my go-to's.
So many new earth frequencies are here now, supporting us.
Thank you for writing this. Best.
