Waves of Awakened Awareness—Coming Home to Ourselves (Or Calling Forth My Team)

And What Our Childhood Fairytales Taught Us About this Time in Earth’s History

Has All Hell Broken Loose?

This year, we have experienced wave after wave of unprecedented global events: a worldwide pandemic, government-enforced lockdowns, paid opposition rioting and looting, massive counter-demonstrations, and social unrest and divisiveness across the world. It seems no part of the globe is left unaffected by these events.

Has all hell broken loose around the world?

Or is there something deeper going on?

For a moment, consider with me that, as a world, we have been put under a spell from which we are now awakening en masse. What if there have been control structures in place for millennia in our world that are so perfect, so pervasive, and so hypnotic that our minds, thought systems, and environmental conditioning, under the influence of these control structures, have us convinced that everything we perceive around us is our one and only, undeniable, unbreakable reality?

If this is true, how do we break the spell?

Is the outside world truly something that each of us has no control over? Is all of it going on in spite of anything we individually might choose or say or do?

Or contrary to these perceptions, do we somehow create our own reality? Regardless of what you believe, let’s start with what we can likely agree on—where we do have control—over ourselves.

So, with that focus, let’s look inward. Individually, what is our preferred reality? How have we swerved off the track from, or failed to achieve, our preferred reality? What has stopped us individually from realizing the potentials that we dreamt of in our reveries, desires, and imaginations? Why have we never achieved those dreams? Did we not believe in ourselves?

Did we believe those who told us we were crazy? Were we “shooting too high”? Were we attempting the impossible? Were we disheartened by those who said, “Who do you think you are to believe you can achieve what you dream?”

Recollection of a Soul Agreement

Over the past week, I’ve been preparing to go to New York City. As many of you know, I was a member of the Heaven’s Gate cult for 18 years from 1975 till 1993. A couple of months ago, I was contacted by an internet video news documentary company (part of People Magazine) doing a series on cults. They were planning an episode on the Heaven’s Gate cult and were aware of my participation in the ten-episode Heaven’s Gate podcast done in 2017. After some phone conversations with several producers, I decided to participate.

As part of my preparation, in addition to pre-camera interviews, they asked me to bring correspondence between my family and me during the time I was in the cult, as well as photographs of me pre-, during, and post-cult. I dug out and reviewed physical photographs and correspondence from years past that my parents had kept from the time I had been in the cult.

As I reviewed the photos, I reflected on the emotional journey my parents had gone through over the years of very little contact with me when I was in the cult. I also reflected on my own mental and emotional journey as a child and mused on what had set the stage for my joining the cult.

I’m Open for Business!!

CornyFrankUfoPictureI’m open for business! What does that mean? I have officially hung out my shingle—I am a life coach, a personal coach, or a light coach, as you please!

So I’m letting my freak flag fly! I can hide no longer. I’m officially and fully “coming out” after having been a closet star seed, light-worker, and shadow-hunter for way too long. I can no longer be the square peg in the round hole, pretending I fit into the mold dictated by “convention” or societal norms. I am a life coach, a light coach. For now, until my highest joy leads me to my next authentic expression, life coaching is what I’m here to do.

My coaching business is called Facilitating You. It’s about you. In our coaching sessions, you’re the driver. I’m the coach, but you set the sails and steer the boat.

As the name “Facilitating You” implies, it’s about bringing you into a state of ease—a release and re-alignment of the dissonant or conflictive parts of yourself. The word “facilitate” is from the Latin root “facilis” meaning easy. I’m here to help you turn difficult into easy. I’m here to help you realize the authentic, transparent aliveness that you forgot was you.

My Life Story Reframed

I gave it all away. All of it. My power. My choice of how to live my life. My determination of how to express, what to eat, how to sleep, who to live my life with, where to go, what to do in any given moment, how to think, what to allow myself to feel. I chose the collective in which to be assimilated. The assimilation then followed according to those to whom I gave the offering of my complete essence. It was assimilation like that of the Borg society in Star Trek, the popular TV and movie franchise. The goal for me and my co-assimilants was to merge as cogs in the wheel of the greater collective. Our minds and our social construct became that of the hive mentality in which all of us were the worker bees—every ounce of energy and every thought in our day was in devotion to the hive and its matriarch.

This was the essence of how I lived my life for eighteen years in the secretive, esoteric, cloistered group that would eventually come to public light as the Heaven’s Gate cult.

I stayed until I couldn’t. I reached my breaking point at a deep unconscious level that surfaced in my conscious awareness as a simple over-riding thought, “I cannot be here anymore.” At the time I didn’t know why. But I was sure. It was the surest thing I had ever known. It was my touchstone in the face of the ensuing assault of cult party-line thinking and vernacular holding me to task to reconsider because: “You know how rotten the world is out there”, and “You’re throwing away the keys to the Kingdom of God if you do this”, and the thought always in the back of our minds, “You’ll be spaded under in the coming recycling of civilization, after which who knows when your soul will have another opportunity like this.”

Driving with the Brakes On

Those of you who have met me, in person or on the phone, know that I’ve struggled with speaking fluidly, freely, and easily, often with a strained or stuttering voice.

Today it became clear how the Universe has been sending me messages (or reflections)—on three occasions (that I’m aware of)—over the past few months. I might have finally heard them.

I took my car into the shop today because what had started a week ago as a squeak had turned into a rumbling vibration when I drove with normal speed. My fuel usage had increased markedly. A few months ago I’d had a similar squeak, and a few months before that as well. In the first two instances, and again today, the diagnosis was, “Your brake caliper is seized and has destroyed the pads and rotor as well.” The past two times, it affected a single wheel. Today was not one, but two.

I asked the service advisor, “Why does this keep happening?” Tonight, it dawned on me, “Wait a minute… there’s a parallel here… am I driving my life with my brakes on?”
