Now that the old year has been “fully lived,” honored, and perhaps archived, it is time to turn toward the new.
I came across a story the other day that a FB friend silently offered, in Spanish. It’s a story about creating in the year 2026.
Have a read at it and think about what it is that you might want to create this very year, with a generous dose of wisdom, inspiration and a perfect alignment with the stars.
I guided you to look inward, I challenged you when necessary, I asked for silence, pause, and awareness. Perhaps my year felt difficult, perhaps uncomfortable but it was the only way I could tell you: let go and move forward.
I helped you leave behind what no longer served you, to say goodbye to old versions of yourself, to understand before acting.
Now I hand you the light.
And you, my dear Magician, have the mission to create, to begin to manifest in the physical world everything that already lives within you. It is time for conscious action. For aligned decisions. For magic applied to real life. You will be a good guide for others and, together with your magic, you can make 2026 a year of manifestation, expansion and real opportunities.
This past weekend felt pretty gruesome with what I would call a “death triangle;” innocent people being slaughtered in three parts of the world, Los Angeles; Providence, Rhode Island; and Sydney, Australia.
Killings usually do not catch my attention to the point I would write a post; yet these ones did and I have been called to send out what I call “the Light of Forgiveness.”
The Light of Forgiveness is a light that blesses anyone with forgiveness—period.
Sending Light & Forgiveness to the victims and the perpetrators, certainly, but also to planet Earth as a whole as she suffers terribly when one of her members leaves accidentally or tragically. Even earth’s animals or plants are being decimated.
Here is a snippet of today’s New York Times’ newsletter.
Today’s number
13
— That is the number of elephants killed for their ivory since July 2024 along a stretch of highway that runs through a Malaysian rainforest. Five of the animals were beheaded.
As human beings dedicated to a peaceful cause and promoting a healthy world, we can put an end to the cruelty, hatred and blind rage that engulf some people’s hearts.
Let us send out the Light of Forgiveness and let us bask the earth in a beautiful mantle of purplish, violet shades.
Would you please join me in reciting this Forgiveness decree?
Even once would be utterly beneficial.
It is a decree I have been offering for some time and I can feel or sense seeds of benevolence being rooted all over as the Violet Flame spreads its wings around the world.
This morning, I was reminded of a poem by Irish Poet John O’Donohue. A poem that I shared on my blog on January 7, 2019 as I answered the call to travel to the nation’s capital. I am still in awe as to how it happened, guided by the Light that I was.
The last verse, perhaps the most meaningful one—about searching for the Divine—came back to me a few days ago as I was looking for a quote to share with a group.
Holding the Light is what we do, silently, in our respective corners of the world. Even if we don’t get any visibility, a vibrant spark within tells us it is important and meaningful work. Opening our hearts and sending creative energy into the world.
As we know, the Light dispels the darkness and verily, it opens the path of the wanderer.
Light cannot see inside things. That is what the dark is for: Minding the interior, Nurturing the draw of growth Through places where death In its own way turns into life.
In the glare of neon times, Let our eyes not be worn By surfaces that shine With hunger made attractive.
That our thoughts may be true light, Finding their way into words Which have the weight of shadow To hold the layers of truth.
That we never place our trust In minds claimed by empty light, Where one-sided certainties Are driven by false desire.
When we look into the heart, May our eyes have the kindness And reverence of candlelight.
That the searching of our minds Be equal to the oblique Crevices and corners where The mystery continues to dwell, Glimmering in fugitive light.
When we are confined inside The dark house of suffering That moonlight might find a window.
When we become false and lost That the severe noon-light Would cast our shadow clear.
When we love, that dawn-light Would lighten our feet Upon the waters.
As we grow old, that twilight Would illuminate treasure In the fields of memory.
And when we come to search for God, Let us first be robed in night, Put on the mind of morning To feel the rush of light Spread slowly inside The color and stillness Of a found word.
As someone originally from Europe, I am keeping a close look at the show taking place in the French National Assembly. It has been an intense saga for a few weeks and the newly appointed Prime Minister narrowly escaped a vote of no confidence today.
Every party is fighting for its own interests and pushing its viewpoints and no one seems to care about the well-being of the country. No one wants to see or take into account “the greater whole.”
This feels like a phenomenon prevalent in our world, where division appears more widespread than the search for unity.
How did we get there at this time in our human evolution, with so much technological knowhow at our fingertips?
Shouldn’t we be aiming for peace after so many conflicts ravaged the world?
And most importantly, how do we heal this fracturing?
I can tell that the healing will happen through the opening of people’s hearts, like a beautiful yellow flower aiming for the nourishment of the sun, and through reaching out to another human despite our differences.
There is indeed hope when we see the improvement of the situation in the Middle East.
May this clearing of the clouds be the beacon we need to move in the right direction and may Compassion and Forgiveness spread all over the area and the world.
I came across this beautiful Hopi prophecy yesterday, mentioning the three great shakings of the Earth. Two have occurred during the 20th century and it may be time for the third one to manifest.
The first two shakings brought desolation and destruction to Europe and many other parts of the world.
Would this third shaking be as boisterous and devastating as the first two?
That is an interesting question to ponder as our world moves into higher and deeper phases of transformation and clearing.
Topic: Is the Earth shaking again?
Time: Oct 9 @ 3:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
The Hopi Prophecy of the Third Shaking of the Earth
In Native American wisdom, the Hopi tribe spoke of a powerful prophecy known as the Three Great Shakings of the Earth.
The first two shakings are believed to have already occurred, being the First and Second World Wars, both global events that deeply impacted all of humanity.
The Third Shaking, the Hopi said, would come at a time of great upheaval, marked by an increase in extreme weather events of all kinds, such as, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, storms, fires and floods.
These would all be signs that Mother Earth was entering a sacred birthing process and a time of deep cleansing, purification and transformation in our world.
The Hopi understood the Earth as a sentient, sacred being and our living, breathing Mother, with indigenous peoples living in harmony and balance with nature, honoring the lands, the waters, the entire planet and with great respect for all that she provides.
The Hopi taught that the Earth moves through natural cycles of release and renewal and that when humanity strays from living in alignment, the Earth responds with a great rebalancing as a natural consequence.
At this time of The Third Shaking, the Hopi believed that global division, conflict and disharmony would become so widespread that the Earth would begin to call out to her children and she would urge us, as the children who live upon her, to return to peace, unity and harmony with one another, with Mother Earth herself, and with all life.
At the same time of The Third Great Shaking, the prophecy also speaks of a shift into a new era, which coincides with the Hopi Rainbow Warrior prophecy, that foretells a tribe of millions of people, from all races, nations and walks of life, who would hear the Earth’s call and begin to awaken spiritually.
One by one, these peoples would set aside their differences, begin to unite and return to a way of being that is rooted in love, healing, harmony and balance upon the Earth.
Many believe we are now living in this time, the time of The Third Great Shaking, where the old ways of division, disconnection and imbalance are beginning to dissolve and something new is about to be born.
The birth of a new humanity, one that recognizes our shared responsibility to walk gently upon the Earth, to return to balance and harmony and to honor the sacredness of ALL life upon her.
‘The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth’.
I came across this post that a friend of mine relayed and it rang mystically true.
What a beautiful day of balancing we are in!
25 September of 25
Reduced to 7 – 9 – 7
The sacred (7) surrounding a clear mark of completion (9); a crucial point of closure and new beginnings, as a door closes (the first 25), a new one opens up (the second 25). The same happened when we entered the eclipse corridor on the 7th of September and left it on the 21st.
Please read on!
25.9.25 is a day for deep spiritual exploration and introspection.
It carries a strong energy of transformation and closure, offering the opportunity to find balance in your life, complete old cycles, and prepare for new beginnings.
As Angel Number, 25.9.25 carries a powerful message of spiritual transformation and the completion of an important life cycle.
25.9.25 marks a crucial point of closure and new beginnings. You are being guided to release the old (represented by number 9) so that you can fully embrace the positive changes and opportunities that are unfolding (represented by number 25).
Your angels are cheering you on:
Trust the process of change.
Although endings can feel difficult, this is a necessary step for your personal and spiritual growth.
Listen to your intuition. Your inner voice will guide you toward the right decisions and partnerships during this time of transformation.
Step into your higher purpose. The completion of an important cycle frees you to pursue your life’s mission and be a light to others.
In essence, this date is a powerful cosmic sign that you are on the verge of an important shift, and the universe is fully supporting you to let go and move forward with faith and courage.
This is a powerful message to follow the energy reboot that was the partial solar eclipse on the Equinox; and it gives us new signs that we’re preparing for a massive energy shift.
This is a time for the endings and beginnings of personal cycles and marks the point of an upcoming focus throughout October to come to observe our awareness of the sense of who we are and how we relate to others. It’s the start of a new theme of ‘Connection’ that will be an important focus throughout 2026.
On this day of remembrance, forgiveness and hope, I would like to share a Buddha’s blessing that I learned on a beautiful day in October of 2014.
May this poem inspire us to move forward amidst the turmoil present in our world.
“Today, Thursday, October 16, was a beautiful day. I would like to consecrate the beauty of each and every day with one of the prayers we recited, as a group, over the course of the past few days.”
May I see this day through Buddha eyes May I hear this day through Buddha ears May I love this day with a Buddha heart May all I come in contact be awakened to their True Nature
This Irish blessing came to the shore of my consciousness this morning, thinking about humanity’s future.
Perhaps it did come because of Sandra and her husband’s upcoming trip to Erin, the land associated with lush, green landscape and rolling hills, as well as Irish pride.
May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be always at your back,
may the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
This blessing is often used to bid farewell and wish someone well on their journey, encompassing both physical travel and life’s journey.
This is a prayer for divine protection and guidance until the next encounter.
The phrase “may the road rise to meet you” is a literal translation of the Irish phrase “go n-éirí an bóthar leat,” which can also be understood as “may you succeed on the road,” according to IrishCentral. The blessing’s roots can be traced back to ancient Irish culture and its appreciation for nature and religion.
I want to share an event that made me reflect on the fragility of our (human) life and the concept of fate and destiny—perhaps fate versus destiny.
A young German female athlete lost her life this past Monday, attempting to climb a summit in Pakistan. She was thirty-one years young.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — German biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier has died on a mountain in northern Pakistan after a climbing accident at remote site that rescuers struggled to reach because of bad weather, a local government spokesman said Wednesday.
Laura Dahlmeier had “life smiling at her” after winning many competitions, unchallenged, and becoming an Olympic champion at the age of 24.
Perhaps she had reached the pinnacle of her sports career?
To the effect that she decided, six years ago, to put it behind and retire from biathlon. She became a mountain guide, exploring and conquering summits in various parts of Asia.
Little did she know that this decision would lead to the loss of her life a few years later.
We are at the mercy of the elements, some of them weather- or nature-related, others simply unpredictable, and often unexpectable.
Was it fate or destiny for Laura to make that decision and pursue another life? To take another route?
Knowing she was well aware of the risks inherent in mountain climbing.
Of course, we will never fully know. Yet, through her example and her courage at “bifurcating,” it is worth reflecting on the value of life and its meaning.
Especially when life-as-usual no longer challenges, nourishes or satisfies us.
And honor the memory of an exceptional athlete in the process.
We watched The Theory of Everything a few days ago, a movie about Stephen Hawking’s life. He was a brilliant scientist who spent most of his adult life in a wheelchair, due to a motor neuron disease that struck him while he was attending college.
He fell in love with a lovely woman, Jane, who attended the Church of England. Stephen was a staunch atheist. Toward the end of the movie, as Stephen was in the middle of writing A Brief History of Time, he shared a few lines with Jane.
Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just anyone be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why the universe exists.
Who are we? Why are we here? If we ever learn this, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason, for then we would know the mind of God.
Do you mean this? Asked Jane.
Yes, of course.
So you’re acknowledging him.
These few words got me thinking, especially the “then we would know the mind of God.”
I am no scientist yet, as a rational being, I tend to rely on reason and have a tendency to question what I read or hear.
Hence, the question that promptly came is,
Why would God need a mind?
For one thing, the human mind generates thoughts, sometimes random, sometimes raging like rapids in a river; these thoughts are not always coherent and seldom continuous, jumping from one rock (in the rapids) to the next without any apparent connection.
If God has a mind, then it is more of a ‘continuous mind,’ one that emits and propagates light without ceasing; somewhat similar to what a lighthouse does.
In addition, the Light of God doesn’t discriminate, it shines. Unequivocally.
Where does this take us?
I don’t know; yet I think this differentiation between the human mind and what I would call a God’s attribute is somewhat important.
Answering the question, or at least exploring it, may bring us closer to solving Stephen’s riddle.
