Remember Atlantis?

9/14/2026

One of my Facebook friends, Daniel Sala in Romania, has done an exceptional job of translating Remer Ra's Call of the Atlanteans – The Gaea Experiment and creating an exquisitely beautiful visual audiobook of it.
Remer Ra’s 2011 book is written as a first-hand recollection garnered through past-life regression and Atlantean energy installations. It presents Atlantis as a highly technologically advanced society whose priestly, scientific and industrial castes developed sophisticated energy systems and social structures, only to collapse when those same tools were turned towards domination rather than harmony – an outcome the author ties to a larger ‘Gaea Experiment’.

While watching his stunning visuals and listening to the stories, I couldn't help feeling a potential parallel to our current situation, unless more people make massive leaps in awareness and goodwill. The story contains hundreds, if not thousands, of ‘signposts’ showing how we might achieve a lasting, harmonious and creative world.

Thank you, Daniel, for your beautiful, inspirational work.

Text accompanying the video:
"Translation and adaptation of a 2011 book by Remer Ra, presenting unknown facets of the most meaningful chapter in our history, Atlantis.
Remer Ra is a Romanian author who initially had no intention of publishing in any field, until he tested the legends surrounding the Bucegi Mountains via astral travel. The nostalgia and magnetism generated by that site led him to record his experiences, at the behest of his guides. To minimize distortions affecting other mediumistic approaches, his information was obtained by traveling down his incarnational thread, allowing him access to direct causal knowledge, assisted by Atlantean energy installations.
This work also distinguishes itself from traditional accounts of Atlantis by offering a structured report on the civilization's inner workings. It breaks down the functions of its priestly, scientific, artistic, and industrial castes, providing descriptions of their technologies, economic systems and educational methodologies. Finally, it gives context to the glorious peak and subsequent collapse through a vast cosmic evolutionary program - the "Gaea Experiment".
This is the second volume in his series, with the other three mostly pertaining to spirituality & Romanian history. Although his books are contemporary and relevant, they are virtually unknown outside the country, and even in Romania, they can barely be found in used bookstores."

Fantastic News - for Mary Kostakidis and Free Speech

9/11/2026

Zionists hounded Mary Kostakidis for two years for fearlessly speaking up about the genocide in Palestine causing untold stress, time and expense.

XD Law wrote - Exhausted but victorious. Mary Kostakidis’ 2 year battle defending her right to free speech and political expression ended today with the case withdrawn at the federal court. From all of us at XD Mary, well done, get some rest…….hear from you soon!

Mary wrote - Zionists legal proceedings against me have been withdrawn after a 2 year battle.

This is a win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression. Zionist zealotry has had to beat a retreat from what was going to be a highly damaging trial.

I have spent 2 years doing nothing but preparing my defence in a case aimed at silencing me - a case that would have cost the average Australian their home.

I want to thank my fellow Australians who recognised the significance of what we stand to lose, stood with me and stepped up to assist me to launch my defence.

The purpose of journalism is to get to the truth - fearlessly - and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed.

I want to thank my legal team, XD Law led by Mark Davis assisted by Jack Vaughn, and the formidable Sheryn Omeri assisted by Richard Reynolds, who took on board the full national and international dimensions that the case warranted, and my husband for his unflinching moral clarity.

Watching a people live stream their own genocide while the international community responsible for creating this mess offers the victims sympathy and the perpetrators bombs, diplomatic cover and impunity, has been disgusting. Thank you to the Jewish and Israeli people all over the world raging against this in recognition our common humanity trumps any form of tribalism.

Australia must stop disregarding the Orders of the International Court of Justice which were clear: we are obliged under international law to take meaningful action to prevent genocide in Palestine and to do all in our power to bring about an end to apartheid. Hypocrisy, double standards and a lack of courage are aiding the destruction of a framework intended to protect against the worst excesses of state power.

BE. LOVE.

IS THE WORLD ON THE BRINK OF NUCLEAR CATASTROPHE?

9/8/2026

Whatever our political allegiances, the possibility of nuclear weapons being used against Iran demands that we think beyond the first explosion – to the chain of consequences that could follow.

The US justified its war against Iran largely on the grounds that Iran must not possess a nuclear weapon. For the United States itself to contemplate using nuclear weapons against Iran would therefore represent an extraordinary and dangerous contradiction.

This war has already brought death, injury, displacement, destroyed homes and infrastructure, economic disruption and immense psychological suffering. Its consequences have travelled far beyond the countries directly involved, affecting energy, shipping, trade, security and economies around the world.

But a nuclear attack would cross an entirely different threshold.

It would not simply be a larger bomb. It could trigger retaliation, draw additional nations into direct conflict, contaminate land and water, cause mass civilian casualties, destabilise the Middle East further, rupture global trade and energy supplies, and shatter the nuclear taboo that has helped restrain states since 1945. Most frighteningly, escalation could become extremely difficult to control once begun.

Even a single nuclear strike on a major Iranian population centre could conceivably kill hundreds of thousands of people; an escalating nuclear exchange could kill tens of millions – before we even begin to count the longer-term consequences.

This is precisely why leaders entrusted with nuclear weapons must be capable of thinking not one move ahead, but five, ten and twenty.

Before anyone supports such an action, I invite you to follow the consequences through for yourself: If the United States used a nuclear weapon against Iran, what do you believe would happen next? And then what?

This is a conversation humanity urgently needs to have.

I listened to this beautiful conversation between Emilio Ortiz and Ke'oni Hanalei who speaks of our soul's purpose being contained within our name - I asked Grok and ChatGPT and the results came mainly via numerology and mysticism.

What Wealth Can Grow

9/5/2026

I recently watched videos of Mike Maloney’s remarkable organic farm, created around permaculture principles. Beyond the abundance of food, trees and flourishing ecosystems, what struck me most was something larger: this is a glimpse of what wealth can do when it is placed in service to life.

Recently, I encouraged people to ‘Be like Dolly’. Dolly Parton once expressed a beautiful intention in the form of a prayer: How can I be wealthy and serve?
What a wonderful question.
Wealth need not be measured only in money. We can be wealthy in knowledge, skills, creativity, time, energy, influence, compassion and connections. The deeper question is what we choose to do with whatever resources have come into our hands.

Some plant forests and regenerative farms. Some fund schools, hospitals, sanctuaries or community projects. Some quietly help a neighbour, mentor a young person, care for animals, share their expertise, volunteer, create beauty or support someone through a difficult time.

True abundance is not about how much we accumulate, but how much life can flourish because we were here.
Whatever our resources – modest or immense – we can ask:
What do I have that could serve? What can I help grow? What can I leave better than I found it?

The world needs more people who understand that prosperity and generosity need not be opposites. May we become wealthy in all the ways that allow us to give more wisely, live more generously, and leave something beautiful growing behind us.

My response to a reader on Facebook

Those who voted for the current US government now have to confront the consequences of its policies – not only for the USA’s working and middle classes, but for people far beyond its borders, including those affected by its war with Iran and its support for the war against Russia.

Many voted in good faith and may now deeply regret their choice. I understand that. I voted Labor in Australia and now that it has also moved to the right, I regret doing so, particularly because of AUKUS and the government’s continuing alignment with US and Israeli policies I strongly oppose.

Recent political developments have also made me reconsider how much energy I put into trying to influence governments through letters, posts and activism. When One Nation won a WA by-election on 29 August 2026, and Pauline Hanson openly praised Trump’s leadership and policies, something crystallised for me. I had to accept that the majority of Australian voters have similar views to the majority in the USA.

The transformation we long for will not come from the top down. It will come from people like you and me – creating better alternatives, strengthening our communities, supporting what is humane and life-giving, and finding new ways forward within deeply flawed systems.

We can do it. Many around the world already are.

Remembering the sacred, reciprocity and joy

9/2/2026

Lately, I realised I had allowed too much of the world’s chaos into my inner world.

I was tired and worn down by the relentless stream of conflict, cruelty, greed and division – much of it created or perpetuated by flawed leaders pursuing power rather than wisdom. I cared deeply, but caring had begun to consume me.

Then Anjali, a dear friend and wise Elder suggested I reread Ken Carey’s The Starseed Transmissions. I’m so pleased I did. Its words reminded me to lift my gaze beyond the turbulence of the moment and return to a deeper centre within myself – to peace, perspective, purpose and, unexpectedly, joy.

Now I’m reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s beautiful Braiding Sweetgrass, with its invitation to rediscover reciprocity, gratitude and our sacred relationship with the living Earth.

Perhaps there is wisdom in recognising when we have absorbed enough of the world’s distress.

We do not have to stop caring. We do not have to become indifferent to suffering or injustice. But neither do we serve the world by allowing its turmoil to colonise our consciousness.

Sometimes the most life-giving response is to turn towards what restores us – a wise book, a tree, a garden, birdsong, meditation, friendship, beauty, gratitude, silence.

There will always be voices demanding our outrage and attention. We can choose which ones enter the sanctuary of our minds.

I am remembering that protecting our inner peace is not withdrawing from the world.

It is tending the place from which we meet it.

And perhaps a peaceful, loving, centred human being is one of the quiet medicines our troubled world needs most.

Less attention captured by the noise-makers.
More attention given to the wisdom-makers.

More Earth. More mystery. More consciousness. More beauty.
More of what enlarges rather than depletes us.

~ Cedar

Robin Wall Kimmerer’s beautiful book 'Braiding Sweetgrass'.

Her later books are The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World (2024) - A short book, illustrated by John Burgoyne, on gift economies, reciprocity, and what serviceberry trees teach about sharing abundance instead of assuming scarcity.

Bud Finds Her Gift (2025) - A children’s picture book, illustrated by Naoko Stoop, about discovering one’s gifts through relationship with the living world.

AI says: Robin Wall Kimmerer’s 'grammar of animacy' is her name for a way of speaking—and therefore of seeing—drawn from Potawatomi (Anishinaabe) language. It is developed most fully in the chapter “Learning the Grammar of Animacy” in Braiding Sweetgrass.

What the grammar actually does
Potawatomi does not sort the world into 'he/she' versus 'it.' It sorts it into animate and inanimate.Animate beings include not only plants and animals but rocks, mountains, water, fire, places, medicines, songs, drums, and stories. Human-made objects (a table, a machine) are more often inanimate. You ask of a table 'What is it?' You ask of an apple 'Who is that being?' The animate verb 'to be' is yawe.

Calling a maple or a river 'it,' she argues, is like calling your grandmother “it.” It strips personhood and makes exploitation easier: 'When Sugar Maple is an ‘it’ we give ourselves permission to pick up the saw.'

The English experiment: ki and kin - Because English forces a choice between human pronouns and 'it,' Kimmerer proposed new pronouns, developed with an elder and language teacher: ki (singular) — a being of the living earth, from aki / bemaadiziiaaki 'earth being' .... kin (plural) — earthly relatives.

Examples she gives: 'That beautiful tree, ki is giving us sap again this spring.' 'Look, kin are flying south for the winter.' Keep 'it' for paperclips and bulldozers.

She is explicit that this is not anthropomorphism. It is recognition: plants have plant intelligence and plant personhood, not human traits pasted onto them.

Why it matters to her
For Kimmerer the grammar is ethical and ecological. Language charts relationship. If other beings are kin rather than resources, gratitude, reciprocity, and restraint follow more naturally. She pairs this Indigenous grammar with scientific seeing rather than discarding science; she wants to be 'bilingual' between the lexicon of biology and the grammar of animacy.

Nepal - Tibet Tragedy

8/31/2026

As of 1 September 2026, confirmed deaths from the Himalayan glacial collapse and subsequent mudslide floods stand at around 1050 with 4,462 still missing.

The disaster sits on the Himalayan border between Nepal and what is historically Tibet. Today that Tibetan side is administered by the People’s Republic of China as part of the TAR (China calls it Xizang). Politically it is Chinese territory now; culturally and historically it is Tibetan land.

The disaster began on Wednesday 26 August when part of a high-altitude glacier collapsed, sending a massive wall of ice, rock, mud, and water down river valleys on both sides of the Nepal–Tibet border, especially around Gyirong and the Trishuli/Lende river system. Entire villages and border facilities were destroyed. Rescue work has been slowed by damaged roads, debris, and fears of further flooding from newly formed barrier lakes.

A Rhinestone Soul Goes Home: Reflections on Dolly's Crossing

8/27/2026

On 25 August 2026, Dolly Parton crossed over – and I found myself in tears for most of that day, tracking her passage as if I were losing a beloved friend rather than a woman I had only ever seen once, in concert in Melbourne back in 2011.

The depth of it surprised me. But then I realised Dolly was only two months older than me. She had been part of my world for the whole of my life, a constant, glittering presence on the periphery of everything – and watching the tide of global grief rise around her told me I wasn’t alone in feeling her loss as something personal.

Dolly played the Game of Earth brilliantly. Few people manage it with such grace. I loved her gifted songwriting, her boundless imagination, her goodwill – and, most of all, the rare consistency of her authenticity. Apparently she was exactly the same woman in private as she was under the lights: warm, funny, generous, unmistakably herself.

She could easily have amassed a billionaire’s fortune. Instead, she chose generosity as her legacy. She once said she was ‘addicted to the feeling of giving’, and her life bore that out again and again. Through the Dollywood Foundation, founded in 1988, she poured herself into education, healthcare, disaster relief and community support across East Tennessee and far beyond. Through her Imagination Library, launched in 1995, she sent more than 330 million free books to young children across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and Ireland – a gift seeded in her own childhood, growing up as one of twelve children in a tiny, two-bedroom home, with a father who never learned to read or write. She turned her own hardship into a river of literacy for millions of families who may never know her name in person, only her kindness.

Even in the small, human details, there was something to admire – a woman who kept a careful, loving record of her own life, her thousands of dresses and shoes archived and catalogued down to the fabric and the year, not out of vanity but as one more expression of how deeply she honoured her own story.

The day after her passing, I came across a session by the medium Liz Cross, 'Channelling Dolly Parton: Her Message From the Other Side', and I want to share what moved me in it – as an invitation, not an instruction. If mediumship is new to you, approach it with an open mind rather than a fixed one. And remember that whatever is described here is only the first threshold of an afterlife that, as I understand it, unfolds through infinite realms – many of them beyond what our earthly minds can grasp.

What comes through in the session is a portrait of peace. Dolly did not expect to go; she believed she would recover. But near the end, she saw a bright light, and her mother came for her, took her hand and said simply, ‘Let’s go.’ There was no fear, no pain, no lingering remorse – only a passage that felt instantaneous, like a flash of light, gentle and airy, which she described as going home to God.

On the other side, she was welcomed by her husband Carl, her parents, her siblings, dear friends including Porter Wagoner, and the animals she had loved throughout her life. The reunion was pure love – communication was telepathic, the welcome an embrace that carried a deep and certain knowing. Everyone there, she said, was on the same wavelength and glad to be together.

For anyone feeling the weight of her passing, the message offered is a comforting one: there is no reason for sorrow. She lived a life beyond even her own imagining, and she has simply continued on, still herself, still radiant, still glad to have been Dolly – hoping only that we keep enjoying her music, and knowing that the connection between us was never bound by a single lifetime.

Dolly Parton’s death is not an ending. It is a homecoming – a return to the love and family that were always waiting for her, and a reminder to the rest of us that when our own time comes, we too may find the tunnel is only a flash, and the other side is simply home.

Love never says goodbye. It only ever says: I’ll see you again.

I love you, Dolly.

For the animists among us

8/23/2026

In every uncertain age, some choose kindness. Let it be us.

8/22/2026

We are living through a time of extraordinary intensification. Pressures are building everywhere — environmental, political, economic, technological, social, spiritual, personal. Some of these crescendos will likely keep gathering strength in the years ahead.

But periods of upheaval are not only disruption. They can also be invitations to greater consciousness.

When familiar structures become uncertain, we're drawn to look more closely at what remains trustworthy within us. What do we value? Where are we giving our precious time? What kind of person are we becoming? What contribution, however modest, do we wish to make while we're here?

For some, this is a time to reassess. A life that once fit no longer does. Priorities shift. Relationships, work, possessions, habits, ambitions that once consumed enormous energy suddenly matter less — and what falls away makes room for something truer.

For others, turbulent times bring the opposite: a renewed certainty about the path already chosen. Rather than changing course, they recommit — with sharper attention — to the work, the relationships, the creativity, the service, the spiritual purpose that calls to them most deeply.

Perhaps one of the great questions of our time isn't only What is happening to the world? It's also Who am I choosing to become within it?

We don't need to know what the coming years hold to choose how we'll meet them.

Some will simplify. Some will begin again. Some will deepen their spiritual lives. Some will protect what is precious. Some will create, teach, heal, nurture, advocate, grow food, tend the vulnerable, strengthen community — or simply become a steadier, kinder presence for those around them.

There are countless ways to serve a changing world. May we stay flexible enough to change with it.

Matías De Stefano on the next 3 years

8/17/2026

Monday, August 2, 2027 *** a total solar eclipse *** This will be the major eclipse of 2027 visible in Egypt. The path of totality crosses parts of the country including areas near Siwa Oasis, Asyut, Sohag, Luxor, and toward the Red Sea, with the longest duration of totality — about 6 minutes 22–23 seconds—occurring near Luxor

'Matías De Stefano shares a powerful warning about the historic August 2, 2027 total solar eclipse over Egypt—and why he believes humanity is entering an intense period of transformation.

Originally recorded in 2025, this conversation feels even more relevant today. The eclipse is now less than one year away, global uncertainty continues to intensify, and more people are asking how we can remain centred instead of being consumed by fear, division, and chaos.

Matías explores:

🌑 Why he believes the 2027 eclipse represents a major turning point
🌊 The “huge storm” humanity must learn to navigate
☄️ The extraordinary 2029 flyby of asteroid Apophis
🌍 Whether humanity is moving toward multiple versions of Earth
🧲 How Earth’s magnetic changes may affect human consciousness
👽 Why he believes humanity is not yet ready for open contact
❤️ How heart coherence can influence our collective experience
✨ Why sadness, fear, anger, and darkness must be transformed—not avoided
🧪 How we can turn our inner “poison” into medicine
🙏 The deeper meaning behind following your heart

Matías reminds us that transformation does not begin by escaping uncomfortable emotions. It begins by facing them, understanding them, and learning how to use their energy consciously.

As he explains, the coming years do not have to be experienced as something frightening. They can become an opportunity to question who we believe we are, release outdated perceptions, and consciously choose the reality we want to help create.
