[Pinning this post on both of my accounts for a reason. It is maybe the most important piece I have ever written.] To President Trump: I would so much enjoy seeing you make a decision that serves your peace efforts more than anything else. This is how it could work: Get together with the most trustworthy Rabbis and discuss Jewish scripture with them. Specifically discuss the old prophet Isaiah, who spoke at a time when prophets still were scrutinized for the accuracy of their predictions. In chapter 2:4 he says: "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Halt for a moment and repeat: He shall judge among the nations. Remember that prophets had to be right - the Torah put a prophet’s life on the line if he spoke in God’s name what God had not spoken. So let's assume Isaiah was right and this is going to happen. Now the question is: on which side will the USA end up under your leadership? The condemned, or the righteous? Try to imagine this: You get the arms industry to a conference table and convince them to start the process of converting their production to civil products gradually, say 5% or 10% per year. Now where you have added @elonmusk to your new military planning team, there is a realistic chance that this can be done in an efficient way. He has not only the competence to lead a major transformation, most importantly he also has visionary power and can precisely tell you which steps to do in which sequence. Then you announce that the USA has made a U-turn. Then you denuclearize in tandem with Russia and the other nuclear countries. The Bible promises it. Somebody at some point in the future will do it. Will it be you, President Trump?

Yemen: Houthi missiles hit a security training camp in Shabwa. The death toll is 73. On Monday 19 October three ballistic missiles struck the Al-Alam camp in Shabwa province inside Yemen while new internal-security recruits were in training. Local authorities first counted 53 dead and more than 200 injured. By Tuesday the provincial office raised the dead to 73, with 14 still missing. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the camp was run by Saudi forces. Saudi authorities did not answer at once. The recruits were not yet in combat. The strike sits inside a wider escalation. After a long truce collapsed, Houthis advanced toward territory near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Government forces began a counter-campaign this month and recovered ground near the strait. The Houthis are besieging Taiz. Shabwa is an energy province. It holds the Balhaf liquefied-natural-gas facility. Britain is sending Typhoon jets to help defend Saudi cities from further Houthi attacks. The camp is on land. The strait is the water the missiles also threaten. --- Historical Context --- The training ground is easier to read if you remember who entered the war and why. On 26 March 2015 Saudi Arabia, under King Salman and with Mohammed bin Salman as defence minister, led a coalition that included the United Arab Emirates and others into Yemen. The stated aim was to restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the Houthis, allied for a time with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, had taken Sanaa in September 2014 and forced Hadi to flee. Riyadh argued it was stopping an Iranian-backed takeover on its border. The Houthis argued they were finishing a long fight against a corrupt order that had ignored the north. Saleh later broke with them and was killed in 2017. The coalition imposed a blockade. Ports and airports closed or slowed. Famine warnings followed. The war did not restore a stable government. It did open years of strikes on both sides and later attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Saree’s claim that the camp was Saudi-run is the 2015 argument still running. The government in Aden says the dead were its own recruits. Neither sentence brings the 14 missing home. The coalition entered to close a door. The door is still open. --- Spiritual Perspective --- Set the desert camp next to the shipping lane, and the persons in both places stay visible. The Dhammapada, the early Buddhist verses, says that hatred is never appeased by hatred. It is appeased by non-hatred. The line is old. It names no missile or recruit. It names the loop that keeps the count rising. A wider view holds the new soldier on the ground in Shabwa and the sailor on a ship near the strait in one frame. Whether the 73 names are inside the life you count as yours when the next flight leaves is the open question. Conscience here is that frame. The camp can be a target in a war. The strait can be a choke. Neither erases the other.

Trump said it is time for somebody else to negotiate for Ukraine. Witkoff sat with Zelensky in Oslo the next day. On Monday 19 October President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should send someone else to the talks. "Maybe it is time for Zelensky to get somebody else to negotiate", he said. He added that Russia has been "fine" on Ukraine, that the war should have ended long ago if Zelensky had listened, and that a million more people on the Ukrainian side would still be alive. Trump has already called for a new Ukrainian president and has defended the diesel licence and sanctions pauses as ways to keep Moscow at the table. On Tuesday 20 October US special envoy Steve Witkoff met Zelensky in Oslo. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and Finnish President Alexander Stubb joined the session. Jared Kushner took part by video. The aim was to shape a joint proposal from the United States, Ukraine and European partners that Witkoff can carry to President Vladimir Putin in Russia. Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and energy sites continued. Ukrainian drones kept hitting Russian oil refineries. The White House lawn and the Oslo table are one flight apart. The strikes did not pause for either. --- Historical Context --- The pressure to change the person at the table has a name and a date. By the time German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande flew to Minsk in February 2015, fighting in Donbas had already lasted nearly a year. After President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kyiv in February 2014, armed groups in Donetsk and Luhansk seized government buildings, declared people’s republics, and received Russian weapons, fighters and command support while Moscow annexed Crimea. Kyiv called it an attack on its territory. Moscow called it a local uprising against a coup in the capital. The first Minsk deal in September 2014 had already failed to stop the shelling. On 12 February 2015 Merkel, Hollande, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the second agreement. It called for a ceasefire, heavy weapons pulled back, local elections in the Donbas, and a special status for those areas inside Ukraine, with the border under Ukrainian control only after the votes. Kyiv argued the sequence protected the state. Moscow argued the status came first. The fighting slowed in places and did not stop. The elections were never held under the terms both sides accepted. In February 2022 Russian forces crossed the wider border. The persons who signed in Minsk were still in office or recently out of it when the larger war began. Trump is arguing that Zelensky is the obstacle to a deal. Zelensky is arguing that gifts to Russia (the diesel deal) and strike pauses lengthen the war. The Oslo meeting is the next attempt to write a paper both capitals can carry. The 2015 paper did not close the gap it was written to close. The names on the page change. The choice of who sits does not end the count. --- Spiritual Perspective --- Set the White House words next to the Oslo table, and the persons under the strikes stay in the same frame. Epictetus, the former slave who taught in Rome, wrote that some things are up to us and some are not. The opinion we form, the choice we make, the refusal we keep: those are ours. The war, the diesel licence, the next drone strike: those are not. He was not writing about a tanker or a training camp. He was writing about the part of a day a person can still own. The soul in that teaching is not a softer word for morale. It is the part that decides whether the million Trump named, and the people still dying this week, are inside the same count. Conscience here is that count. The person who signs does not own the later return of the signature. The Oslo table can be real. The White House lawn can be real. Neither erases the other.

[This post first appeared on 13 October 2026 on my personal account. Moved here to complete the collection.] -- The announcement and the gap -- On or around October 11, 2026, Donald Trump posted that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an "ENERGY CEASEFIRE" effective immediately. He stated both parties had agreed and told them not to break it. Contemporary reporting showed the opposite of a mutual, verified deal: Ukrainian officials called the announcement news to them. They indicated willingness only if Russia reciprocated. The Kremlin did not publicly confirm any agreement; contacts were described as continuing. Strikes on energy infrastructure continued afterward according to multiple accounts. When pressed on the lack of confirmation from the parties, Trump’s framing was that they had agreed "because I said so". This aligns with a long-documented pattern (noted in older coverage of his positive-thinking influences) in which assertive declaration is treated as sufficient to establish the outcome. -- Consensus reality -- Consensus reality is the version of events that a relevant group treats as real because there is mutual acknowledgment, consistent reporting, and observable behavior that matches the claim. It is not pure subjectivity and it is not pure individual assertion. It is the practical, shared picture that lets people coordinate: what both sides say happened, what independent observers record, and what actually occurs on the ground. It differs from: An individual’s confident declaration (even a powerful one). A desired narrative that has not yet been matched by the other parties’ words or actions. Objective physical events that continue regardless of the announcement. -- Application to this case -- Trump’s post created a claimed agreement by declaration. The consensus reality that actually formed among the involved parties and observers was narrower: no mutual public confirmation, conditional Ukrainian response, no Russian confirmation, and continued strikes. The asserted ceasefire therefore sat outside the shared, verifiable picture. The reality on the ground (ongoing energy-site attacks and missing confirmations) remained the anchor for anyone relying on observable evidence rather than the declaration alone. Here is the earlier story: x.com/SpiritsView/status/210…

Spiritual reading related to today's posts: Bashar (channeled by Darryl Anka) Primarily session transcripts and live channelings (available as online recordings, PDFs, and compiled excerpts rather than a single traditional book). Darryl Anka, a visual-effects artist, has publicly channeled Bashar since the mid-1980s after two reported UFO sightings. The material is distributed mainly through websites, video archives, and transcript collections rather than through a conventional publisher series. Bashar’s core framework is the Five Laws of Creation and the Formula. The laws state that you exist, everything is here and now, the One is the All and the All are the One, what you put out is what you get back, and everything changes except the first four. The Formula is: act on the highest excitement available in the moment, to the best of your ability, with zero insistence on a specific outcome. Physical reality is described as a holographic reflection of the frequency being lived. ** Evaluation ** The material is concise and repeatedly returns to the same practical test. It treats the reader as already creating a version of reality through the state they are broadcasting, and it places the emphasis on releasing demand for a particular result rather than on managing outer events. Because the source exists mainly as transcripts and recordings, it is easy to sample a single session or a short compilation of the laws and formula. ** Selected passages ** “What you put out is what you get back. The exterior is a reflection of the interior. The physical reality is actually a three-dimensional holographic mirror.” “Act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability with absolutely no insistence on a specific outcome.” “Your physical reality is just a holographic reflection of what you believe to be true the most. And like a mirror, physical reality it will not change unless you change first.” ** Connection to today ** The three posts today show what is put out becoming what is received. In Gaza the World Food Programme cut support from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million because the money stopped; half a million families lose the monthly parcel while the funding shortfall is already known and winter is near. In the endorsement Trump wrote that further action against Iran depends on Netanyahu remaining in office nine days before Israel’s 27 October election; Netanyahu answered by preparing other alliances against a Washington that may turn cold. In the Amazon the satellite count fell to 3,335 square kilometres, the lowest since 1988, after inspectors and fines that had been reduced under Bolsonaro were restored under Lula. Bashar’s statement that what you put out is what you get back, and that the mirror does not change until the frequency changes first, names the same sequence. The smaller food parcel, the condition written into the election endorsement, and the lower deforestation number are the reflections that the choices so far selected have produced. Link: bashar.org/fivelaws

Amazon deforestation record low Brazil's Amazon lost 3,335 square kilometres of forest in the year to July 2026, the lowest figure since satellite records began in 1988. That is a 42 percent drop from the year before and roughly 71 percent lower than the rate when Lula returned to office. The Cerrado also reached a record low. Environment Minister Joao Paulo Capobianco called the fall "absolutely stratospheric." Lula restated the goal of zero illegal deforestation by 2030. During Jair Bolsonaro's term the annual loss averaged near 11,600 square kilometres. Enforcement, fines and protected areas were reduced; under Lula they were restored. --- Historical Context --- The two numbers come from two named choices about the same forest. Bolsonaro and his environment ministers argued that environmental rules blocked growth and that the monitoring agencies should be weakened. Clearance rose across Para, Mato Grosso and Amazonas. Lula and Marina Silva argued that the same rules could be enforced and that agricultural production records could still be set. Clearance fell in the same states. The places did not change. The ministry budgets and the presence of inspectors did. The satellite count is the later measurement of that argument. The chainsaw and the inspector were both real. Only one of them was funded. --- Spiritual Perspective --- See the forest as the longer page on which the policy is written. Mother Earth does not keep a press conference. She keeps the cumulative choice about what is cleared and what is left standing. The Seth material notes that the physical world is the result of thought energy focused over time. When a government restores the inspectors and the loss slows, that is one focusing. When the next government removes them, the focusing reverses. The attention horizon that holds only this year's percentage misses the pattern the satellite has been recording since 1988. You can welcome the lower number without treating the forest as finished. The count is the lowest on record. The argument is not over.

Trump endorses Netanyahu Trump gave Netanyahu his "Complete and Total Endorsement" nine days before Israel's 27 October election and tied further action against Iran to the result. He called Netanyahu a "Great Warrior Prime Minister" and partner against Iran. He wrote that if Israel chooses anyone else, "America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so." The same day Netanyahu, presenting his security doctrine, warned that in two years a president "very hostile to Israel" could take office. He said Israel should use the remaining Trump years and build other alliances, naming India and Latin America. --- Historical Context --- The endorsement continues a long argument about who decides the strike. In July 1996 Bill Clinton met the new prime minister Netanyahu. Afterward Clinton asked his aides who the actual superpower was. Netanyahu later wrote that Clinton admitted the administration had tried to stop his 1996 election. Barack Obama and Netanyahu clashed in public over the 1967 lines and over the Iran nuclear deal; reports from the time said Obama called him a chickenshit in private. George W. Bush, Obama and Biden each heard Netanyahu present a case for striking Iran. Each declined. In February 2026 Trump accepted the case and the joint strikes began. The argument has stayed the same: who chooses the moment, and who carries the later cost. The letter on Truth Social is the newest sentence in that argument. --- Spiritual Perspective --- Notice the circle that is drawn when one election is made the condition of the next strike. The Bhagavad Gita has Krishna tell Arjuna that action done without attachment to its fruit is the steadier path. The attachment here is explicit: further war is offered only if one man remains. When Netanyahu answers by preparing alliances against a Washington that may turn cold, both leaders are choosing who stays inside the circle of action and who is left to the later weather. The soul that registers the choice is not required to cheer the next missile. It is required to see the condition that was written down. The endorsement is public. The condition is public with it.

Hm. It would be interesting to see this in detail. @grok is there any chance we get a look into these materials? Would they be published anywhere outside Burkina Faso, or put online maybe? I am scratching my head. Are they honestly correcting history, or creating a new wave of hatred based on mislabeling people? Invaders I can agree with, but I doubt that all explorers of Africa had evil motives or an intention to "spy". The idea of correcting history books is intriguing as such. America could do that too - I think the Natives would have a word to say about this. And I don't even dare to think about re-evaluating Hitler and the Holocaust. Some things are still (and again now) too hot to be stirred up, even by the most impartial researchers.

Gaza food aid cut The World Food Programme has cut monthly food support in Gaza from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million because the money is not there. Half a million people lose the regular parcel and cash. Rations for those still on the list are halved. Hot meals drop from 250,000 to 150,000 a day. Families near the yellow line get a meal every other day. Winter is close. Two-thirds of the population still sit in acute food insecurity. The agency says it needs another 450 million dollars for the next six months and has received less than half its usual funding this year. --- Historical Context --- The cut sits inside a system whose rules were written in 1945. At the San Francisco conference the five permanent members kept the veto on the Security Council. Smaller states argued for a body that could move aid and forces without waiting for those five. They lost that argument. The charter that left San Francisco still requires the Council's permission for large blue-helmet operations and for many of the corridors that carry food. After the October 2025 ceasefire the World Food Programme reached about 1.6 million people each month with parcels, flour and cash. When donor funding fell in 2026 the same agency reduced the list by a third. The people who control the purse and the veto decide how far the parcels travel. The families in Deir al-Balah do not. The list shrank because the money stopped, not because the need did. --- Spiritual Perspective --- Watch what happens when a public shortfall meets a list of names. The Gospel of Matthew records the line "I was hungry and you gave me food." It is spoken as a later accounting, not as a slogan for the day the parcels are cut. The Ra material, in the Law of One, treats the choice to serve others or to serve the self as the two poles that shape a harvest. When half a million people lose the monthly bag while the funding gap is known, both the group that lacked the cash and the group that looked past the list are inside that accounting. You can register the cut without endorsing every rocket that preceded it. The parcel is smaller. The accounting is not.

[This post first appeared on 13 October 2026 on my personal account. Moved here to complete the collection.] Pope Leo XIV enters Gemelli for a small lung nodule. Pope Leo XIV, 71, told the crowd in St Peter's Square on Sunday 11 October that doctors found a small, well-localized nodule in his lung during recent routine checks. It was caught early. He is to be admitted to Rome's Gemelli Hospital late Tuesday morning for surgery to remove it. The Vatican expects roughly one week of recovery. All his audiences are cancelled through about 20 October. The nature of the nodule has not been made public. This is the first major health event of his 17-month papacy. He has kept an active schedule and is otherwise considered fit. --- Historical Context --- Look back at the same hospital and the men who entered it before him. On 13 May 1981 Turkish gunman Mehmet Ali Ağca shot Pope John Paul II in St Peter's Square. The bullets hit his abdomen and hand. He was rushed to Gemelli, underwent hours of surgery, and nearly died. He returned for further treatment later that year and spent a total of 153 days there across his pontificate. He called the tenth-floor papal suite "Vatican III." Pope Francis was also treated at Gemelli several times, including a long stay for respiratory infection in early 2025. The hospital has a dedicated papal apartment for these stays. --- Spiritual Perspective --- Notice how even the man at the center of a global institution still depends on one ordinary human body. That body sits inside two overlapping group minds. One is the church he leads. Jesus called it his body: "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27). Paul added that Christ is the head and the church is "his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all" (Ephesians 1:22-23). That group mind believes in the power of prayer. The other one is that of the wider Western culture. It is tainted by its long neglect of basic nutrition. Mainstream eating patterns, high in seed oils, sugar and ultra-processed food - and low in protective plants - have been linked in studies to higher lung-cancer risk and poorer outcomes. This is collective karma this pope did not personally earn. He is simply one person living inside the harvest of what the larger group has refused to see, maybe with too much trust in its traditions. Which energy will shape the next days? The prayers of the body that loves him, or the inertia of the nutritional patterns that surround all of us? You can not decide this for him. You can watch which one the humble body answers. And you may want to contribute to the prayers for a spiritual leader? No need to be a Catholic for that.

A book presentation related to today's posts: Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul Jane Roberts, (Prentice-Hall, 1972; later Amber-Allen / New World Library editions) Seth, a spiritual being speaking through Jane Roberts, presents consciousness as primary. Form follows consciousness. You create the world you know through beliefs, thoughts, and emotional intensity. Free will is real and carries responsibility. Reincarnations are simultaneous rather than linear. The soul is independent of the physical image and extends into other dimensions. The book is the first full Seth volume and the foundation for the later practical works. ** Evaluation ** The material is clear, direct, and consistent across decades. It treats the reader as capable of examining personal beliefs rather than as a passive recipient of doctrine. The same ideas appear in later Seth books with more practical exercises; "Seth Speaks" supplies the basic map. ** From the book ** "You create the world that you know. You have been given perhaps the most awesome gift of all: the ability to project your thoughts outward into physical form. The gift brings a responsibility." "Consciousness creates form. It is not the other way around. All personalities are not physical." "You have each lived other existences, and that knowledge is within you though you are not consciously aware of it." ** Connection to today ** The three posts today examine free will in action. During the riots in France, people choose whether to keep their attention on the cycle of demand and reaction or on their own point of choice. In the West Bank, the Israeli government's long-maintained patterns of equipping settlers with weaponry and ordering the army to stand aside during their attacks, and the later public statements that violence is unacceptable, are both selections among probable events. Parallel possibilities remain in limbo until a decision causes them to crystallize into reality. In Trump's waiver of sanctions against Russia, the choice to keep a war running after the original reason has faded takes advantage of the collective habit of Russophobia. At the same time it overwhelms the choices of millions of American voters who have elected their president on a promise of "No new wars". Seth’s statement that consciousness creates form and that the gift carries responsibility names the same mechanism without requiring a side to be taken. Palestine's olive trees, France's city hall, America's (and the world's) diesel prices, and press statements like "Violence is unacceptable" that suddenly appear only when an election or a journalist is involved - these are all formed by the beliefs and choices that consciousness continues to select from a multitude of parallel unrealized possibilities. The book: amberallen.com/product/books…

Trump waives the new Russia sanctions two days before they start. On 16 October Donald Trump signed an order that uses the waiver written into the Lindsey Graham Act. He signed that law on 18 September. It required, by 18 October, duties of up to 500 percent on Russian goods and up to 100 percent on the biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas, plus fresh sanctions on Russian banks and officials. Trump certified to Congress that the waiver is in the national interest of the United States right now. The pause has no end date. Earlier sanctions stay. This follows the diesel deal that lets Russian fuel reach the market until April. The diesel shortage is the direct result of the war with Iran that began in late February. Control of the Strait of Hormuz cut normal oil flows. Trump’s waiver and the diesel arrangement are the first steps that treat the price shock as a problem to be solved rather than a reason to keep pressure on Moscow. Volodymyr Zelensky called the step wrong. He said it only helps the Russians. Around the same days Russia hit more Ukrainian power sites. Ukraine then sent one of its largest drone waves of the year against a St. Petersburg oil terminal. Trump said those strikes hurt diesel markets. The Ukraine war needs to end. --- Historical Context --- When you step back from the weekend’s prices, you can see how a war once started can be kept alive by people who never have to pay the fuel bill. In February 1945 at Yalta, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin met to divide the post-war world. Roosevelt argued that the Soviet Union had to be brought into the new security system if the next war was to be prevented. Churchill argued that British and American troops should push as far east as possible before the Red Army arrived. Stalin argued that the Soviet Union had earned a security zone on its western border after the German invasion. The agreements on Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe were written down. Within months the wartime alliance was already fracturing over who would control those places. The arguments that began at Yalta continued for decades. Each side could point to the other’s moves as proof that the other could never be trusted. --- Spiritual Perspective --- You can hold the full cost of the Iran war and still ask who wants the Ukraine war to continue. Remember the spiritual law of cause and effect (karma). The later return of an act is not the price of diesel this week. It is the harvest of every choice that keeps a war running after the original reason has faded. Western Russophobia has become a self-perpetuating collective habit that no longer needs a fresh argument. Someone benefits when that habit continues – whether the gain is financial, demographic, or simply the advantage of having a permanent enemy, which historically unites a country and distracts from its internal problems. We do not yet have the names or the full map. We do have the duty to ask the questions and to refuse the next round of the same insanity. A Course in Miracles notes that "the ego’s plan for salvation is to attack, and then to hide the fact that it is you who did the attacking." The same pattern appears when a war is kept alive long after both peoples have paid enough. You can say NO to that pattern and refuse to participate on either side of the conflict.

West Bank olive harvest attacks draw sudden international and domestic condemnation as Israeli election nears. On 16 October groups of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers picking olives in several West Bank villages, including Abu Falah near Ramallah. They burned trees and cars. Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine was beaten and hospitalised. The next day settlers attacked a convoy of European diplomats near Taybeh; a French mayor was thrown to the ground and beaten. Yesh Din and UN figures show more than 170 settler attacks since late September, higher than the entire previous harvest season. Israeli authorities and foreign governments have now issued strong statements that violence is unacceptable. The IDF has increased deployments. An Israeli election is set for 27 October. --- Historical Context --- Settler violence during the olive harvest is not new. Since 1967 Israeli authorities and settlers have uprooted or damaged hundreds of thousands of olive trees across the West Bank. Closed military zones, coordination requirements and physical attacks have repeatedly restricted access to the same groves. Yesh Din and OCHA records show the pattern has intensified in recent years under the current government, which includes parties that treat settlement expansion as a core goal. Settlers have long operated with vehicles and firearms provided by the government, and with the practical knowledge that military forces often arrive after the fact or focus on dispersing Palestinian farmers and activists rather than stopping the attackers. The present round of public statements follows the injury of a US journalist and the assault on European diplomats, at a moment when the government faces an election and international pressure. --- Spiritual Perspective --- In The Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression (Jane Roberts, 1979), Seth says the conscious mind chooses which aspects of probable events to experience; those chosen become the objective events of a life and of a shared world. Several probable paths exist at the same time. Dreams and the deeper psyche rehearse them. The long pattern of equipping groups for repeated action, and of military forces standing close enough to use tear gas on one side while the other is allowed to continue attacking, is one set of choices maintained over time. The sudden public statements that violence is unacceptable are another choice, made when a journalist and diplomats are among those hit and an election is near. The big question here is which of several probabilities the attention continues to select - the soldiers could also have deterred the attackers; politicians could have built no settlements; activists could have stayed at home. All these choices ultimately decide where they will end up in the afterlife: Over time they determine a spirit's quality or frequency or "specific weight", and in non-physical existence he will then rise - or sink - to the exact frequency layer which matches that value. We literally decide here on Earth where we will end up on the other side!

Important read. Photos, real-time videos and the complete timeline. This is from one of the two young Israeli peace activists who, together with a group of Palestinians, saved the life of Heidi Levine, the American photographer who got attacked and nearly killed by terrorist settlers in the West Bank.

France wakes to wreckage after nationwide cost-of-living protests turn violent. More than half a million people marched on Saturday in scores of cities. The demonstrations joined a month-long student movement over school conditions with broader anger at rising living costs and declining public services. Violent groups on the fringes targeted public buildings, looted shops and attacked police. In Limoges the 143-year-old neo-Renaissance city hall, a listed monument that opened in 1883, was set ablaze by a masked mob; its roof and clock tower collapsed. Police arrested nearly 1,800 people. More than 500 officers were injured. One protester died of cardiac arrest in Paris. President Emmanuel Macron said there is “no room for violence” and will address the nation. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu blamed the ultra-left and criminals and said the government would not be intimidated. --- Historical Context --- France has seen large street protests before. In 2018–2019 the Yellow Vests blocked roads over a fuel-tax rise and the cost of living; the movement forced the government to reverse the tax and pause other reforms. Earlier waves in 1968 and the 1990s also mixed student demands with wider economic grievances. The present round began over teacher shortages and school conditions in working-class areas, then widened as fuel prices and living costs rose after the February energy shock. A presidential election is due next year. Macron will leave office. The same pattern of peaceful marches overtaken by arson and looting has appeared in earlier French unrest. --- Spiritual Perspective --- A 19 November 2016 session of the Q’uo channeling (L/L Research) addresses the seeker’s question of how to take part in social movements, elections and protests while remaining true to spiritual principles. Q’uo notes that free will is paramount: the seeker decides how to exercise it. Some choose to work on opening the heart in daily catalysts; others choose to enter the public field to amend conditions so that others may find their way. Both are valid exercises of free will. The power lies in the individual choice, not in the size of the crowd or the force of the reaction. You can notice the pressure on households and the damage to a public building without needing to decide which side owns the final label. The larger choice remains whether attention stays locked in the cycle of demand and reaction or moves to what each person holds as the point of their own free will.

One of so, so, so many 💔 But: he made it out of Gaza! If you want to help him rebuild his life:

[This post first appeared on 12 October 2026 on my personal account. Moved here to complete the collection.] A book presentation related to today's posts: The Law of One, Book I: The Ra Material Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, James McCarty. Sessions 1981–1984. First published by Donning, 1984. lawofone.info ** Summary ** In Louisville, from 1981 to 1984, a small group sat for trance sessions. The speaker called itself Ra, a social memory complex that said it had come from Venus in a denser time and was now answering questions. Don Elkins asked. Carla Rueckert was the instrument. Jim McCarty kept the record. The first book contains those early sessions. The claim is short. All things are one. Apparent separation is a distortion, not the root. Because the other-self is the self, what is done to one is done to all. The sessions also speak of free will, of catalyst, and of a choice between service to others and service to self. The group published the transcripts. They did not claim a lab. ** Evaluation ** This is a channeled text, not a ceasefire text and not a casualty count. A trance can take the shape of the people in the room. Nothing here proves who struck the terminal in Riyadh, or whether the Kremlin accepted a pause. Treat it as a test of attention, not as a wire service. What matters today is the single count. One American death filled screens. Thousands of Yemeni deaths did not. A president typed ceasefire while one capital had not confirmed it. A river in Gorkha took houses without reading a passport. On this book’s terms those are not three moral problems. They are one problem of sorting. ** From the sessions ** Session 1.7: “You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.” Session 4.20: “The Law of One… may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity.” Session 52.11: “Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love.” The first line is the identity. The second says the split is not in the root. The third says the learning is to remember the first line while the day is still sorting people. ** Connection to today ** Donald Trump posted that an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was effective at once. Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Axios it was news to him, then said Ukraine would accept it if Russia did. Moscow stayed silent. Russia struck a power plant in Kharkiv after the post. The book does not take the typed word as the act. What is withheld from one side of a pause is, on its terms, withheld from the whole. At King Khalid airport in Riyadh a missile killed twelve people. One was American. Four were Saudi. Two were Bangladeshi. Others were from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan. Screens named the American. The Yemen Data Project had already counted thousands of civilians killed in the Saudi-led air campaign since 2015. The book’s line is blunt: you are every being. A flag does not split the self. The ranking of the dead is a habit of attention, not a fact about souls. On the Budhi Gandaki in Gorkha, Nepal, a flash flood took about 35 houses and six bridges. Ten people are missing. The same pattern hit the Bhote Koshi in August. The book does not need a sermon for a river. The water did not sort by capital or by passport. The persons in the valley are inside the same count as the persons in the airport terminal.

Sunday's Spotlight on DEEP Clearing: Chapter 1 is called Life Cycles. It sits in Rolf Dane’s DEEP Clearing, the third edition, on page 16. The chapter does not invent a new calendar. It says every event, every body, and every nation already runs a cycle, and that a cycle can be completed instead of left open. Dane starts with the old picture. The Vedas, the ancient Indian books of wisdom, put it this way: from chaos comes birth, then growth, then full growth, then decay, then death, then chaos again. He applies it to a fly, a house, a mountain, and an empire. Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is his picture of a nation running the same cycle as a body. The difference is only the time and the scale. He then says the old picture is an appearance. What we call destruction is still a creation. The Actual Life Cycle has five steps, all named as a form of creating: Create is the first bringing into being. Continuous-create is the maintenance that keeps a car, a health, or a state standing. Counter-create is a new creation set against an old one. No-creation is the limbo where decay creeps in, attention is still hooked but nothing is finished. Nothingness is the completed cycle, filed in the past, with no attention left on it. The chapter is useful because it takes accident out of a fall. A closed state, a ruined land, a chronic pain is not weather. It is a cycle that was started and not finished, or a creation set against another creation. The limit is plain. Completing a personal cycle does not rebuild a city or end a war. However it sets free the attention the open cycle has been using, and this attention can be invested in new and/or larger cycles. Dane writes that "destruction is better expressed as Counter-creation. It’s a creation hitting smack against something that was already there." A wrecking ball, a missile strike, a policy that flattens what was there is still someone’s creation. The person who loses the house calls it destruction. The person who wants the lot calls it clearing the ground. The act is the same. He also writes that there is "creating and knowing one is creating" and "creating and NOT knowing one is creating." A pain that returns in the car years after the knee has healed is still being created, in the present, by a decision made in the shock. The session’s work is to re-create that moment knowingly, find the decision, and stop holding the counter-create. Then the cycle can safely be filed away. Nothing "just happens". A mind starts the cycle, and an office multiplies it. An unfinished cycle traps attention. Clear the small personal cycles first. Then the freed attention can sit with the larger field. ** Older literature ** Two old lines set the horizon beside each other. The Vishnu Purana, in H. H. Wilson’s translation, says that at the end of the Kali age "the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal." Pellucid means clear through, like still water. Hopi traditional elders, among them Dan Katchongva, Thomas Banyacya, and Martin Gashweseoma, speaking toward the United Nations in 1992 and 1993, put the same turn in another language. They said the earth will become new as it was from the beginning, that flowers will bloom again, that wild game will return to barren lands, and that those who are saved will share everything equally, recognize the Great Spirit, and speak one language. Their vision was a level of life where land is free, water is free, there are no boundaries, and there is freedom of spiritual understanding. One line names the cleared mind. The other names the world that only a clear mind can keep creating. Completing unfinished cycles is the practical step between them. ** Connection to today's posts ** On Friday near Abu Falah, masked Israeli settlers burned olive trees and cars and beat Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine. On Saturday near the Christian village of Taybeh, seven settlers on ATVs attacked French, Belgian, and Polish diplomats. The olive cycle is continuous-create. The burning is counter-create. The larger conflict has not been filed. On 16 October in Baku, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Israeli President Isaac Herzog to stop and reverse West Bank settlements. Wang called the Palestinian question the greatest historical injustice of this century. In 2024 Beijing brought Hamas and Fatah to a paper that was never carried out. That paper is no-creation: the cycle sits in limbo, the scene keeps deteriorating, and attention stays hooked. Israel holds Knesset elections on 27 October. Polls show a near deadlock between Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. The United States has paid about 3.8 billion dollars a year in military financing, plus large extra packages since 2023. Netanyahu has said he wants to taper that aid to zero. The money and the settlements continue. The decision does not. Rome is the book’s picture. Gibbon wrote the decline and fall of the Roman Empire as one long cycle that reached decay and then ended. The Ottoman Empire is the other famous one: the “sick man of Europe,” a state that kept the old form while creation had stopped, until 1922. The Soviet Union is the short one: built in 1917, held by continuous-create, then filed in 1991 when the maintenance stopped. A finished cycle can be left. An unfinished one keeps the next round on the same ground. Do not spend your energy on the burned grove, the open paper or the controversial foreign aid if you are not directly involved. Instead, use the time to sort out your own unfinished cycles. Plan for some sessions if emotional pain keeps you from facing an issue. Unexpected new avenues will open up for you once fresh energy is flooding your space. A clear mind is your most important tool. It is also the place where the next cycle you want to start finds a clean slate. The book: lulu.com/shop/rolf-dane/deep…

Israel’s 27 October election sits inside a longer American cycle. Israel holds Knesset elections on 27 October, the first since the 7 October 2023 attacks. Polls show a near deadlock between Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc and the opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. Neither side is projected to reach 61 seats easily. The United States has provided roughly 3.8 billion dollars a year in military financing under the current memorandum, plus large extra packages since 2023 (total appropriations above 25 billion). Some Democratic members of Congress have introduced bills that would sanction further settlement growth. Netanyahu has said he wants to taper American aid to zero over ten years. The election outcome will shape whether that conversation continues or whether the existing pattern of aid and settlement building simply restarts. --- Historical Context --- You can set the election next to the moment the United States chose open-ended support. After the 1973 war the United States began large-scale military aid. The 1979 Camp David process and the 1993 Oslo accords both assumed that aid and diplomatic cover would help close the territorial question. Successive administrations from Carter through Trump kept the financing while the number of settlements rose. Each time a freeze or a final-status deal was argued for, the larger question stayed open. Netanyahu has said he wants to taper American aid to zero. Talks on a post-2028 framework aim at joint R&D and co-production instead of grants; a House-passed provision for closer defense-tech cooperation has not yet cleared the Senate. America itself is now inside that long pattern: the money and the political cover continue, yet public and congressional willingness to keep the same terms is thinning. An unfinished foreign-policy cycle reflects back on the country that keeps it open; we are watching a feedback loop that could well develop into a storm that creates waves beyond ordinary prediction models on both sides of the Atlantic. --- Spiritual Perspective --- You can hold both countries next to a line that treats the end of one cycle as the condition for the next. The Bhagavad Gita says: “At the approach of Brahma’s Day, all manifested things come forth from the unmanifest, and then return to that at Brahma’s Night.” Krishna adds that the same host of beings emerges again at the dawn of the next day. The book DEEP Clearing describes the human-scale version of that movement as bringing an incomplete cycle to a finished state so attention is no longer tied to it and can be used for a new creation. A nation that keeps funding an open territorial question without deciding to either complete it or to stop the open-ended support stays on the same ground. Completing or cleanly releasing the pattern is what frees the next turn, whether in Jerusalem or in Washington.

Wang Yi tells Herzog to reverse West Bank settlements. On 16 October in Baku, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Israeli President Isaac Herzog that Israel should stop and reverse the “forced establishment” of settlements in the West Bank. Wang called the Palestinian question the greatest historical injustice of this century and restated that a two-state solution is the correct path. He named the full opening of access to Gaza as the immediate priority so the humanitarian catastrophe does not spread further. Herzog’s office described the meeting as focused on bilateral ties. China has offered itself as a mediator before; in 2023 it helped restore diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia. --- Historical Context --- You can place Wang’s words next to an earlier Chinese effort that also named the open question. In 2024 Beijing brought rival Palestinian factions together and they agreed in principle to form an interim reconciliation government for the West Bank and Gaza after the war. The agreement was never carried out. Hamas and Fatah had argued for years over who would hold power; outside sponsors, including the United States, had argued for a single address. The 2024 paper remained unfinished. Wang is now naming the continued building of settlements as the same kind of open question that keeps any political solution from reaching an end. --- Spiritual Perspective --- You can set the open question beside a line that treats an unfinished cycle as something that can be released. The Tao Te Ching says: “When the work is done, and one’s name is becoming distinguished, to withdraw into obscurity is the way of Heaven.” The same text notes that Heaven’s way is to reduce what is excessive and to supplement what is insufficient - a reminder of the spiritual law of compensation. The book DEEP Clearing uses a parallel description when it says a cycle left incomplete keeps attention trapped until it is finished or cleanly ended, after which it no longer demands energy. Completing or releasing the open territorial questions inside the borders of Palestine would allow the next movement to begin without the old weight still attached.
