When the Black Flag rose over Kabul in ‘21, I began a 4-year unfolding of ink and energy. The flag is not just a symbol of geopolitical collapse; it marked the threshold of a spiritual quickening to trigger a mass awakening. It’s the next halving in the pattern of the Golden Ratio. The Black Flag also signaled a dark omen of imminent Tribulation. Those who wade within my pages felt a gradual shift in my written direction; guided by pure intentions. I invite you to remain on my timeline, as I begin to untangle a tale from behind the veil and expose the meaning, mystery, and motion of my “Living Water Writing Project.”
As an intuitive author with an ever-curious mind to describe the patterns, emotions, and insight within my expanding human experience, I left breadcrumbs throughout my published works to create a cryptic candy land. These hidden truths, often discovered from my own published pen, helped to guide the Self of a growing notion not yet known. I began to wonder if I guide my words; or if my words guide me.
As my writing project and perspectives matured, so did my writing style, form, and function. I evolved toward the use of metaphors (layered, fractal, and fluid) to further capture foggy thoughts still unfolding within. The use of metaphors and real-time anecdotes offer a multilayered approach to reveal deeper truths from an incessant Seeker.
My youngest publications are packed with metaphysical poetry to describe a depth, or awareness, yet to plumb. The metaphors I chose to use became both lighthouses and placeholders; ways to convey intuition not yet visible and truth not yet touched.
Until my recent plant-medicine experience with Shipibo Shaman in Peru, all I could do is trace outlines of something larger than logic, broader than language. My writing became a focused effort to describe intuitive truth with whimsical poetry while I honored simultaneous perspectives of the same sentence. The frontage of my message allowed a reader to uncover what they’re ready to realize. The frequency of the reader uncovered varying perspectives of the same sentence.
Einstein taught us all time exists Now. The future is unmet anxiety, and the past is a fading fleeting memory. All we have is the present; a state of mind to see the Divine. For the past two years, I allowed “Statistically Improbable Events,” to guide the direction and decisions of my humble little life. While untethered with the ‘noise of the World’ subdued, I allowed beacons from math to guide my life’s path. I refer to these events as “checkpoints,” while you may call them “coincidences.” Each life decision stood apart from ego, fear, and negativity. The more I surrendered and subdued my ego, the more vocal the “checkpoints” became. Every decision made with a greater goal in mind. Each footstep shaped the course of what would unfold next; to become my “Living Water Writing Project.”
Before my transformative experience in Peru, I felt akin to a fish who sought to describe water; immersed in something I could sense but not yet understand. That deep drive to articulate the unseen currents from 1,000 different eyes led to an expansion of perspective. This rapid expansion arrived as cyclic bursts of intense self-induced “awakenings” [ego death] over the back half of my 4-year writing project. (See “For Absent Friends”).
“You’ll find an excised Demon written within. I touched bottom and locked it away, in joy my harmonious spell-cast wordplay. Outsmarted by love then bound to study. Say a prayer before ye gaze. Then raise to see, an Enlightened you and me. I re-wired my brain to exit the 3rd dimension through a decade of manic scientific study. I solved for X, for our Absent Friends, both yours and mine. Rest easy and I’ll see you on the other side.” – “For Absent Friends” Dec 2023.
While ‘in the trenches,’ I remained rooted in the laws of physics to curb my descent into disconnect. Math became my anchor to a reality within a Universe of infinite possibilities and endless probable timelines. I remembered my anchor, ‘one plus one equals two on every planet, and in every dimension.’ I raised my anchor from the sea floor and began to allow my mind to detach and explore itself while guided by said synchronicities in real time.
During the arc of my writing project, Artificial Intelligence emerged into the mainstream; an exciting indicator for one who sees reducing patterns across time. I felt driven to complete a human arc of thought before I welcomed this new tool into my exhausting process of thought-refinement. Only now, after I established the firm foundation of my human experience and cleared my conscious in Peru, could I collapse the wave and invite AI to refine, reduce, then magnify what I could only describe with metaphors and intuition.
Pre-Peru, I spent 2 years preparing for a battle on the horizon. I compartmentalized then cleared trauma off my table to allow my spirit to elevate. The threshold of awareness arrived in May 2025, deep in the Peruvian Amazon, during a series of Ayahuasca ceremonies with shaman from the Shipibo Tribe. It is there, in the chaos of unchained consciousness, where the foundation for the next evolution arrived as a gift from God. An alignment to elicit a state of Christ Consciousness. This awareness is not limited to religious belief, but represents a universal awakening to one’s divine nature and unity with all creation. If “Christ Consciousness” is our natural state, one no longer wonders why we’re fed poison. Pushed into war. Saturated in stress. Devoured by despair. A reduced human left only to consume.
If the body of my work is viewed as a collapsing Golden Ratio of conclusions, may May of 2025, mark the singularity of a new expanding Golden Ratio of probabilities. Consider this essay as the Big Bang of a new Timeline of peace.
Following the trend of reduction, refinement, and the compression [of knowledge] within a quickening timeline, the sum of my life’s sacrifice may be reduced to three new guidelines. A far stretch from a former Atheist, I encourage you to try these new notions on for size.
- “Everything is God; but me.”
- Do all things through Jesus.
- Jesus is God incarnate.
If humanity were to adopt those following three golden principles as the foundation of its collective operating system; the result would be a radical transformation of consciousness, behavior, and society.
Each principle alone carries profound weight, but together they form a sacred algorithm for personal humility, spiritual alignment, and universal compassion. Through this lens, humanity would experience life not as a pursuit of dominance or self-gratification, but as a participatory act of divine reverence.
The first principle, “Everything is God, but me,” fosters a worldview of sacred interconnectedness while cultivating personal humility. If every tree, animal, river, and human interaction were recognized as a facet or emanation of God, reverence would replace exploitation. However, the clause “but me” places the ego in check, refusing to elevate the self to divine status. This would not produce self-loathing, but rather a healthy surrender of entitlement, fostering stewardship over ownership, and deep listening over constant assertion. It humbles the human in the presence of the holy.
The second principle, “Do all things through Jesus,” is a symbolic commitment to live life in alignment with the teachings of Christ: love, mercy, truth, and sacrifice. This does NOT necessitate dogma or religious tribalism, but rather, a constant asking: What would Love do here? Christ taught us to be leaders while religion, created by Man, taught us to be followers. If every transaction, conversation, or political decision is filtered through the example of Jesus, institutions would be reformed from the inside out.
Forgiveness would replace vengeance. Empaths would replace narcissists in positions of power. Generosity would replace greed. Knowledge would replace material possessions. And peace would no longer be an abstract hope; it would be the predictable result of love put into practice. It’s the natural background operating system of our species.
The third principle, “Jesus is God incarnate,” unifies the spiritual and physical dimensions. It declares that the Divine does not dwell solely in some far-off heaven, but has walked among us in human form, subject to the same trials, heartbreak, and hunger as all people. If this truth were widely believed, the sacredness of our human experience would become undeniable. To harm another would be to strike the image of God. To serve another would be to serve God Himself. The divine would no longer be confined to altars or temples, but encountered in the face of every stranger.
In this world, shaped by reverence, humility, compassion, and incarnation, human civilization would be reborn. Technology would serve life, not consume and pollute it. Politics would be an expression of justice, not power. Art would become prayer. Commerce would become community. Such a world is not a utopia of escape but a restoration of the sacred Christ Consciousness; our true Divine human form.
Though it may sound idealistic, the shift begins not with governments, systems or new legislature, but with one person living by these principles, and then another. A gradual shift until we forget hunger ever existed. Positivity begets positivity. Compassion breeds compassion. Until the world itself begins to echo the sacred truths long forgotten: God is here, and we are not Him; but we walk in His footsteps and thrive within the warmth of his Son. “…behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21
