Very new times are upon us. The shift continues to shift in new and amazing ways, challenging even new found paradigms almost as quickly as we arrive at considering them.If things aren’t morphing that quickly for you perhaps you’re not paying attention. Because there’s a good chance they are and you’re just not noticing.

Little things and big things are taking on new shapes and forms. It may appear subtle at first until you tune in, but timeline splits and glitches in the matrix are real, as is this powerful background of vibrational change. We’re beginning to notice things we either were too preoccupied to take note of, took for granted, or were too naive to pay attention to. But now they are increasingly hard to miss.

What to Look Out For

One of the biggest manifestations I’m currently experiencing is meeting new people and seeing an openness I’ve never seen before, almost as if people have awakened out of a dream or some sort of suspended animation but didn’t know they were “on hold” for an indefinite period of time.This has been profoundly so in my recent and current travels, and has been corroborated by trusted awake and active colleagues of mine.

It’s quite thrilling. The awakening we’ve sensed for so long is manifesting so rapidly now anyone can see it –– if they’re looking. Just as profound if not more so is personal experiences I and others I’m in close touch with are experiencing. I’ve written on these types of phenomena for years but they’re not just accelerating in frequency now, but taking on new, intriguing nuances. That to me is the most confirming aspect of these types of new experiences. They’re out of my old interpretation and experiential paradigm, as awake and aware as I thought I may have been. It’s totally new. It my seem similar in many respects but it’s as if I’ve never noticed these types of things before. It’s very similar to the Mandela Effect and other slippages, be they timeline and parallel world phenomena or aspects of perception.To me these attributes validate what I’m experiencing as potential “Doors of Perception“, as Aldous Huxley wrote about, however misleading or covert his intentions may have eventually been.It’s simply a great metaphor.

With Parallel Awakenings Come Parallel Challenges

The hyperbolic step up of technology is not necessarily an organic outgrowth of the human experience. It’s being used as a co-vibrational suppression technique by external influences while appearing to be empowering. We can always use anything to our advantage, but what’s being unleashed on humanity is a very severe, parasitic attack on our conscious awareness and has aspects that are disturbingly insidious, including implanted technology in all of us of varying types and the manipulation of our electromagnetic and plasma fields. When you add the other vectors assaulting our DNA and overall natural state their overall methodology clearly states their intent – not just the subjugation of humanity, but the altering of its very nature into something completely controllable. No matter what is foisted upon us, we have to rise to the occasion, as any alive being of any sort would and should.

It may be unexplored territory learning about these influences we’re becoming more aware of all the time, but that’s what pioneers and world changers do, which potentially includes all of us. And we’re each up to it.That we’re concurrently becoming aware of other potential, parallel worlds of existence right within our own is extremely empowering and should propel us into a state of higher consciousness and awareness which in turn will lead us into new and more profound solutions to the dilemma we’re faced, one that can appear to have no restraints upon it and does not portend well for our planet. Therein is the key. Understanding that our perception cannot and need not be what they are projecting and reinforcing. There is a better way – in fact, many of them! They only await our discovery and realization.

Where To Now?

Good question. That’s up to each of us, isn’t it. How we respond to these new types of changes is a very personal decision, but ultimately a very simple one. Do we say “yes” and keep progressing and investigating new avenues of thought and behavior and methods of being as well as expression as new input and realizations come along? Or, do we dig in our heels and say enough is enough and it’s getting way to weird for me out here and it’s no use.“Besides, it defies everything I’ve come to learn and throws my life into a tailspin!” Good! I’ll take “weird with meaning” any day. We need new tools, new understandings, and new spiritual methodologies desperately, to not just exist here, but defy this parasitic invasion of our species and planet.

With Parallel Awakenings Come Parallel Challenges

Old methods simply won’t work and obviously never have. Attempting to confine us to their playing field has been the smartest ploy they ever had – and ultimately the only one. We have to let loose to realize that at its true nature human …

Mom’s Recipe – Pinakbet (Bitter Melon Stew)

RECIPE: PINAKBET (Bitter Melon Stew)

A few friends who are diabetic were asking me how to eat bitter melon because they heard that bitter melon (we call it “ampalaya”) is a natural insulin … that is, it lowers blood glucose and A1c levels immediately upon consumption. Trouble is, these folks barely knew about bitter melon, let alone ever tasted or cooked with it. So, I shared Mom’s recipe, which my Dad dearly loved.

First, take a trip to the Asian food aisle or the local Asian Market, like Ranch 99, Island Pacific or Seafood City, and pick up a couple of ampalaya, one bunch of Chinese Yard-Long Beans, a small Kambocha squash, a pound of pork shoulder and a small bottle each of Fish sauce (Filipinos call this amber-colored condiment “Patis” and it is also widely used in Thai and Vietnamese cooking) and shrimp paste (we call it Bagoong). An additional veggie you might want to add is Chinese eggplant. An additional ingredient you might want to add is half-pound fresh shrimp. These are ingredients that are integral to Filipino and Southeast Asian cooking, so enjoy the experience!

Over medium heat, saute in 1 TB coconut oil 1/2 chopped medium-sized onion, 1 large tomato (the more tomato, the less bitter the dish becomes), 2 cloves minced garlic and saute’ until the onion is transparent. Then, add small cut-up chunks of pork and saute’ until meat is tender and just cooked through. Season with 1 tsp. of Fish Sauce. Stir in Chinese long beans snapped in 2″ pieces, Kambocha squash (peeled and cut into 1″ chunks), shrimp, eggplant and 1 TB of shrimp paste with 1/2 to 3/4 cup water. Put the lid on the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Open the lid and add 1/2 cup of bitter melon cut into 1″ pieces (remove the seeds) on top of the stew, then close the lid and allow the veggies to steam and gently cook into this stew for about 5 minutes. Uncover and gently incorporate the bitter melon pieces into the stew and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Don’t overcook, or your dish will become too bitter. (This is the secret to making the dish tasty, but not overly bitter … lots of tomato and cooking the bitter melon on top and mixing it in towards the end of the cooking time.) Serve with hot Jasmine rice. This is a very popular aromatic dish in the Philippines. Enjoy!
