Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Witkoff

7/31/2026

The four men primarily responsible for orchestrating the U.S. war with Iran — Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Steve Witkoff have much to answer for. Trump and Kushner have advanced ambitious plans for the luxury reconstruction of what Trump has repeatedly called the 'Middle East Riviera' or 'Israeli Riviera'. These proposals envision transforming Palestinian Gaza and surrounding areas into high-end destinations catering to elite tourists and residents, complete with beachfront resorts, towers, and associated infrastructure.

Separately, Kushner and Trump-linked interests are pursuing massive luxury developments in Albania. These include a high-end 'eco-resort community' on Sazan Island and a far larger mainland project in the Zvërnec / Vjosa-Narta protected landscape and lagoon area. The mainland component would feature hotels, apartments, villas, a marina capable of accommodating hundreds of yachts, including super-yachts, a golf course, water park, casino, retail spaces, and related facilities. Most Albanians strongly oppose these plans, preferring to preserve these pristine, ecologically rich coastal and lagoon areas for the benefit of the Albanian people rather than convert them into exclusive international resorts.

Voluntary Assisted Dying and Deathcare

7/29/2026

More than 7,200 people in Australia have died through voluntary assisted dying (VAD) since the first laws took effect in Victoria in June 2019. VAD is legal in all states and the ACT (Northern Territory expected later). Criteria generally require a terminal illness expected to cause death within a defined period (often 6–12 months, longer for neurodegenerative conditions in some places), decision-making capacity, and suffering that the person finds intolerable.

A typical person accessing VAD is in their 70s, has terminal cancer, and is already receiving palliative care; slightly more men than women choose it. Many more people make first requests or receive permits than ultimately use the substance (some die of their illness first, change their minds, or otherwise do not proceed).

The Death Literacy Index (DLI) is a formal tool to measure community capacity around death and dying. Australia has robust palliative care, widespread voluntary assisted dying laws, public campaigns, and strong community-based approaches to end-of-life education. It consistently ranks near the top in international Quality of Death assessments.

How do you, and your country in general, rate in terms of understanding death care and preparedness for dying?

Penny Kelly's New Earth Theory

7/25/2026

Penny Kelly says she had profound mystical experiences in which she visited a parallel Earth—an exact physical duplicate of our own, but one infused with a higher level of consciousness, love, and harmony.
She believes Earth's purpose is to act as an incubator for the evolution of consciousness, where souls develop spiritually before moving into higher-dimensional realities.

According to Kelly, humanity is approaching a major population split. Those who have developed sufficient consciousness may transition permanently to this New Earth, while others remain on the present Earth.
She links this transition to recurring planetary catastrophe cycles (such as pole shifts or solar events), believing that spiritual development—not physical survival skills—is the most important preparation.

Kelly cites several sources she believes point to the same process: her own mystical experiences, reports from regression therapist Dolores Cannon, an alleged translation of an ancient Sumerian tablet, biblical passages describing people being 'taken' while others remain.

The Sumerian tablet, as interpreted by Kelly, describes a dimensional bridge between two Earths that opens only under rare astronomical conditions. She suggests humanity may be approaching one of these periods.
She proposes that signs of the approaching transition include: increasing reports of children remembering past lives, shared dreams, Mandela Effect experiences, unusual changes in Earth's magnetic field and natural systems, a growing global interest in spiritual awakening.

Her central practical message is simple: The best preparation is to cultivate higher consciousness through love, compassion, wisdom, inner development, and expanded awareness.

Perspective
Kelly presents these ideas as a synthesis of mystical experience, intuition, ancient texts, and alternative historical interpretations. They are not supported by mainstream archaeology, astronomy, or physics, and remain speculative. However, many people interested in mysticism and consciousness find value in her underlying emphasis on inner transformation rather than fear.

In essence, the message is less about escaping catastrophe and more about becoming the kind of person whose consciousness resonates with a more harmonious reality.

As an interesting aside - over the past few months I've been led to deeply research Tartaria, and also Gnosticism - via the Nag Hammadi Library - mainly on YouTube. In 1945 ancient texts dating back to the 2nd century were discovered outside Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt.
Tartaria represents the memory of what humanity may have been capable of; the New Earth represents the possibility of what humanity may become. The bridge between them is not necessarily a physical structure or lost civilisation, but the recurring human theme of remembering wisdom, transforming consciousness, and creating a more harmonious world.

The World Needs Vision and Wisdom

7/24/2026

BANKRUPTING AMERICA: THE TRUE PRICE OF THE IRAN WAR AND WHAT TRUMP COST US by Mark A. Shryock

Mark, thank you for this reminder: the trillions poured into war could instead build peaceful, thriving societies — where everyone has food, every family has shelter, and every community has hope.

History keeps teaching us the same lesson. When power, wealth and fear matter more than human life, ordinary people pay the price. Homes are destroyed. Futures are stolen. The earth is scarred. And the next generation inherits grief instead of opportunity. No nation is immune when compassion is replaced by domination.

The greatest poverty isn't a lack of money. It's a lack of wisdom. A society that can fund endless conflict, yet can't provide affordable housing, food, healthcare, education and dignity for its own people, has lost its way.

Real change rarely starts in the halls of power. It starts with ordinary people — when we refuse to cooperate with injustice, choose conscience over fear, and demand leaders guided by wisdom instead of greed.

Our future won't be decided by who holds the biggest arsenal. It will be decided by who holds the greatest vision and wisdom. History shows that peaceful, united action gives ordinary citizens far more power than they realise.

Wisdom means choosing cooperation where we can, firm boundaries where necessary, and constant self-improvement, always.

Spiritual evolution – The spiral is one of humanity's oldest sacred symbols, representing the soul's continual journey of growth, awakening and transformation.
The Wheel of Life – The rotating pattern evokes the endless cycles of birth, death, rebirth and renewal found in many mystical traditions.
Dynamic balance – The equally spaced arms suggest harmony between opposing forces—light and dark, masculine and feminine, spirit and matter.
The unfolding of consciousness – The movement from a still centre outward symbolizes higher awareness expressing itself through creation, while the journey inward represents returning to one's spiritual source.
Universal energy – The flowing geometry resembles a vortex, a common esoteric symbol for life force, creativity and the interconnectedness of all things.

Overall, this glyph conveys a strong impression of motion arising from stillness—a reminder that true transformation begins at the quiet centre before radiating outward into the world.

An Exquisite Analysis by @UmeshRadia on X
Roundway Hill 2, Nr Devizes (18 July 2026) | The Hidden Message of Returning to the Source

'What if the second Roundway Hill crop circle completes the first? A symbolic journey from separation to unity, decoded through geometry, consciousness, and sacred symbolism.

In this in-depth symbolic analysis, I explore the formation through geometry, sacred symbolism and speculative 3D and 5D interpretations. The design appears to portray a stable centre surrounded by a rotating field suggesting transformation, integration and a return to the Source. From toroidal energy patterns and mechanical iris geometry to consciousness, perception and cyclic renewal, this formation may represent the journey from apparent separation back to unity. This is an interpretive analysis intended to explore possible meanings rather than make factual claims.

The Message: You are not the chaos around you. You are the centre. The universe is not happening to you. It is returning you to you.'

JeffMara interviews Ryan about his extraordinary near death experiences and hypnosis

Twelve days nursing my father in the ‘dying room’
taught me the value of planning for death.

Dying is difficult, a nurse told me. It might have been even more appalling had Dad not been clear about his wishes. Yet most of us remain deeply reluctant to outline how we want the end to go.
My father spent the last 12 days of his life unconscious, unresponsive, in a hospital bed on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

My mother sat beside him night and day, holding his hand. I massaged Dad’s legs, horribly swollen, the effects of oedema – a buildup of fluids. His mouth fell open, dried out; I swabbed it constantly in an attempt to keep it wet. Sometimes his breath was a gurgle. My brother and I took turns sleeping on a stretcher in his room – the “dying room” was what hospital staff called it.

Stunning Crop Circle at Odstone Barn, Nr Wayland Smithy, Oxfordshire. Reported 16th July

7/17/2026

Chat GPT: This formation appears deceptively simple, yet its symbolism is rich. The large enclosing circle surrounding a smaller circle containing a maze-like geometric pattern suggests the relationship between the infinite and the individual, the cosmos and consciousness. It was reported near Wayland's Smithy, an ancient Neolithic burial monument long associated with mystery, initiation and transformation.
From an esoteric perspective, the central design resembles:

The Inner Labyrinth – The interconnected pathways may symbolise the spiritual journey, where apparent twists and turns ultimately lead to the centre of the Self. Every experience, even those that seem to lead nowhere, contributes to awakening.
Sacred Order – The repeating right-angled pattern conveys intelligence, structure and the hidden architecture underlying creation. It echoes the ancient Hermetic principle: "As above, so below."
Unity Within Wholeness – The surrounding circles represent protection, completion and the eternal cycle of life, while the intricate centre reminds us that complexity exists within simplicity.
A Meditation on Consciousness – Rather than radiating outward, the pattern draws the eye inward, suggesting that the greatest discoveries come through contemplation rather than external searching.

The location itself adds another layer of symbolism. Wayland's Smithy has long been regarded as a place of transformation and rebirth in folklore. Seen in this context, the crop circle may be interpreted as an invitation to enter the "inner temple," where wisdom is forged through self-examination rather than conflict.

Esoteric Reflection
The universe appears vast and circular, yet its deepest mysteries are found by entering the intricate pathways of our own consciousness. The journey inward is the journey home.

Stone Circle, Nr Avebury, Wiltshire. Reported 14th July.

7/15/2026

ChatGPT: This formation appears to consist of three luminous circles, each with a bright central disc surrounded by one or more concentric rings. Faint, much larger circles overlap beneath them, creating a subtle geometric relationship between the three. As always with crop circles, any esoteric interpretation is symbolic rather than factual.
From an esoteric perspective, the symbolism could include:

The Sacred Three – Three circles commonly represent the trinity of mind, body and spirit, or past, present and future, reminding us that true wholeness comes from integrating every aspect of ourselves.
Seeds of Consciousness – The brilliant white centres resemble radiant seeds or souls, suggesting that a new level of awareness is emerging from within rather than arriving from outside.
Protective Fields – The concentric rings evoke energetic fields or auras, symbolising expansion, protection and the ripple effect of spiritual awakening.
Cycles Within Cycles – The larger, barely visible circles imply that what we see is only part of a much greater pattern. This reflects the Hermetic principle, As above, so below, suggesting that our individual lives unfold within larger cosmic cycles.
Alignment and Harmony – The three circles appear evenly spaced along a gentle line, hinting at balance, cooperation and the importance of aligning thought, emotion and action before moving forward.

A brief esoteric message
This formation suggests a period of quiet integration rather than dramatic change. It encourages us to nurture the inner light already present within us, trust the larger patterns unfolding beyond our immediate perception, and recognise that small awakenings can create far-reaching ripples.
Wisdom: Every soul is a circle of light. When three lights come into harmony, they illuminate a path far greater than any could reveal alone.

For those of us who are well seasoned and in Act 3 of our lives

'In old age, peace does not come from having more people around you. Friends may become distant, children may become busy, and even a husband or wife cannot complete the inner work of the heart. Buddhist wisdom teaches that true security comes from within.

A quiet message of integration - Milk Hill, Alton Barnes, Wiltshire

Milk Hill, Alton Barnes July 12,2026

Milk Hill, nr. Alton Barnes, August 13 2001

This crop circle reported July 12, 2026 at a classic Wiltshire hotspot on Milk Hill near Alton Barnes, is in the same field/area famous for the massive 2001 'Galaxy' formation - a huge triskelion of 409 circles.

ChatGPT: From an esoteric perspective, this Milk Hill formation appears remarkably simple yet archetypal. It resembles an atom, solar system, or sacred network, with a central sphere linked to three outer nodes enclosed within a single circle.
Some possible symbolic interpretations include:
The Central Self – The large central circle may represent Source, Higher Consciousness, the Soul, or the still point from which all creation radiates.
Sacred Trinity – The three outer circles evoke the universal symbolism of the trinity: body–mind–spirit, past–present–future, birth–life–death, or creation–preservation–transformation. Many mystical traditions regard the number three as representing wholeness through dynamic balance.
Unity Within Diversity – The encompassing outer ring suggests that although the three aspects appear separate, they exist within one unified field of consciousness. Separation is an illusion; everything remains interconnected.
Orbital Intelligence – The curved outer pathways resemble orbital motion, hinting at cosmic order, celestial mechanics, or the harmonious dance of planets, electrons, and living systems. The message could be one of living in harmony with universal laws.
Relationship Rather Than Isolation – Unlike many geometric crop circles based on symmetry alone, this design emphasises connection. The linking lines suggest that evolution occurs through relationship, communication and energetic exchange rather than through isolated growth.

Overall, the formation conveys a quiet message of integration: many expressions, one source; many journeys, one field of consciousness. Its restrained geometry gives it a contemplative quality, inviting reflection on how individual lives remain connected to a greater intelligence.

The world cannot afford reckless decisions made in moments of anger, ego, or political desperation.
Citizens, lawmakers, and military leaders in the United States and Israel must demand restraint, accountability, and wisdom from those who hold the power to launch devastating military action.
A large-scale attack on Iran would not be a simple conflict contained to one region. It carries the grave risk of triggering a wider war with unimaginable consequences for millions of innocent people across the world.
The duty of leadership is not to inflame tensions; it is to protect human life, pursue diplomacy, and prevent catastrophe.
At this critical moment, humanity needs courage of a different kind: the courage to choose dialogue over destruction, and peace over escalation.

Roundway Hill, Wiltshire reported ~July 11, 2026

7/12/2026

A classic example of sacred geometry in Wiltshire formations.

Chat GPT: A Possible Esoteric Message

Transformation occurs when opposing forces are brought into harmony. As we integrate the different aspects of ourselves, our inner light becomes more coherent, revealing the crystalline nature of consciousness.

This theme aligns with many mystical traditions, where spiritual growth is not achieved by rejecting one aspect of ourselves in favour of another, but by integrating all dimensions into a more awakened whole.

The timing of this formation is also interesting. Appearing in mid-July, when many traditions associate the height of summer with fullness, illumination and maturation, it could symbolically represent a period of crystallisation—a gathering together of insights before the next stage of growth.

Among this season's Wiltshire formations, this one feels less like a mathematical puzzle and more like a meditation on inner coherence. It conveys a sense of consciousness becoming ordered and radiant, as though the scattered pieces of experience are aligning into a unified pattern of wisdom. Whether viewed as art, symbolism or mystery, it is a remarkably elegant expression of balance, integration and transformation.

Core Esoteric Symbolism
Mandala / Starburst Design: The large outer circle represents wholeness, unity, and the cosmos (the "container" of creation). Inside, the radiating triangular/spiked pattern with a central diamond evokes a star or sunburst — symbolising divine light, enlightenment, or energy emanating from a central source (often linked to the "higher self" or Source in esoteric traditions).

Central Diamond/Quadrilateral: Suggests stability, the four elements/directions, or a "portal" (common in crop circle lore for interdimensional gateways). It anchors the radiating geometry, implying balance between spirit and matter.
Two Side Spirals (with "cherries" or orbits): Spirals are ancient symbols of evolution, cycles of time, DNA, kundalini energy, or galactic rotation. Paired on either side, they may represent duality (e.g., masculine/feminine, light/dark, physical/spiritual) in harmonious balance, or binary star/orbital systems. The flowing lines connecting them suggest integration or energy flow.

Overall Interpretation: This is a harmonic/activation mandala — typical of crop circles interpreted as encoding sacred proportions (golden ratio, precise circles, rotational symmetry) for consciousness expansion, planetary healing, or energetic alignment. Many viewers see it as a 'light code' or blueprint for higher-dimensional integration, echoing Flower of Life, Merkaba, or stellar gateway motifs in esoteric art.

Crop circles like this often blend geometry with symbolism to 'speak' non-verbally to the subconscious. Whether you view them as human art, plasma phenomena, or messages, the design invites meditation on unity and cosmic order.

Matthew Williams' video show the exquisite lay of the glyph and the 3D aspects. Gorgeous. I sped things up.
Chat GPT 'Overall, this formation conveys a message of balance, integration and awakening. It suggests that humanity stands at a threshold where the seen and unseen, science and spirituality, logic and intuition, are no longer opposing forces but complementary aspects of a greater whole. Like many recent formations, it seems to encourage us to recognise that the deepest truths emerge not from one perspective alone, but from harmonising many perspectives around a still and centred heart.'
Grok 'Esoteric SymbolismThis design draws on deep archetypal sacred geometry:The Cross: The central axis mundi — the meeting point of heaven and earth, spirit and matter. It represents the four cardinal directions, the four elements, and the four seasons. In esoteric Christianity and alchemy, the cross symbolises the descent of spirit into the material world or the path of initiation/sacrifice leading to transformation.
Central Diamond/Star (intersecting diagonals): Strongly evocative of the Merkaba (star tetrahedron), a key symbol in Kabbalah, sacred geometry, and New Age/esoteric traditions for the “light body” or vehicle of ascension. It also echoes “as above, so below” — the union of opposites and the divine spark at the centre of creation. The star-like quality adds a celestial/guiding dimension.
Rectangular Horizontal Arms: Squares and rectangles ground the design in stability, manifestation, and the earth element. They represent the physical plane and structured reality being “activated” or balanced by the spiritual elements.
Pointed Vertical Elements (top & bottom): Triangular points symbolise fire, aspiration, spiritual ascent, the divine masculine, and directed energy or evolution upward.
Four Semi-Circular Lobes: Circles represent wholeness, eternity, the divine feminine, lunar cycles, and unity. Placed symmetrically at the four quadrants, they likely symbolise:The four elements in harmony/balance.
The four directions or “portals.”
Receptive/feminine energy counterbalancing the angular masculine cross and points.
Overall Esoteric Reading - This appears to be a symbol of integration and balance — the sacred marriage of opposites (spirit/matter, masculine/feminine, heaven/earth). The central Merkaba-like star suggests activation of higher consciousness or light-body awakening, while the grounded rectangular arms and four balancing lobes emphasise staying embodied and harmonising the four elements/directions during this process.It could be interpreted as a message about a pivotal “crossroads” moment, the need for polarity integration, or the activation of protective/guiding energies (cross + star motifs often carry protective or navigational symbolism in esoteric traditions).The strong emphasis on 4 (four arms, four lobes, four-fold symmetry) reinforces themes of foundation, stability, and manifestation — bringing spiritual insight into physical reality.

Disclosure Day

7/9/2026

I finally saw Disclosure Day yesterday with dear friends, and it was enthralling. We all loved it.

The film takes us on a fascinating journey through ideas that have captivated humanity for generations: UFO lore, psychic phenomena, bilocation, religious symbolism, mathematics as a universal language, crop circles, mysticism, animal symbolism, collective consciousness, and the possibility of an all-knowing intelligence woven through the cosmos.

It also explores many of Steven Spielberg's recurring fascinations: wonder, empathy, childhood innocence, government secrecy, the search for truth, and the way extraordinary experiences can transform ordinary lives. Like much of his work, it invites us to ask not only “Are we alone?” but “How would humanity respond if we weren't?”

Drawing on decades of interviews, historical footage and declassified material, the documentary argues that unexplained aerial phenomena have been reported for many decades, with particular attention given to the 1947 Roswell incident – a mystery I explored firsthand during a week in Roswell, New Mexico, back in the early 2000s. The film weaves together military testimony, eyewitness accounts, photographs and videos, along with claims of alleged extraterrestrial encounters, inviting viewers to consider whether there's more to this enduring mystery than conventional explanations allow.

Rather than depicting isolated objects, the formation suggests that every centre radiates influence into surrounding space. Nothing exists independently. Everything is a field.

'The Universe as Living Consciousness - Every circle appears independent, yet none exists in isolation. Together they create a larger field, suggesting one of the oldest mystical teachings: The One expresses itself through the Many. This idea appears across Hinduism, Hermetic philosophy, Kabbalah and modern consciousness studies. Individual souls, lives or expressions appear separate, yet all arise from the same underlying consciousness. The formation almost resembles a microscopic image of living tissue, hinting that consciousness itself may be organised much like a living organism.'

It resembles a stylised lotus mandala, compass rose, sunflower, or mechanical/astronomical diagram with a sense of dynamic expansion or rotation. The central element evokes a sun, eye, nucleus, or core, while the petals suggest orbiting bodies, blooming flowers, or radiating energy.

Lotus/Flower of Life motifs: The petal/leaf design evokes the lotus (purity, enlightenment, rising from mud or chaos) or Flower of Life patterns (interconnectedness, creation, sacred geometry). Some see it as a solar plexus chakra symbol (Manipura, linked to personal power, willpower, and transformation) or a blooming sunflower/sun motif tied to life force and solar activity.

Expansion and movement: Interlocking petals and central rings suggest radiating consciousness, cycles of growth, or breaking out energy. It feels like emergence, awakening, or harmonic creation expanding outward.

Octagonal/8-fold elements: Octagons symbolise balance, transition (circle meets square—heaven/earth), regeneration, and infinity in many traditions. The angular outer boundary reinforces stability amid fluidity.

Feminine energy/primordial intervention, heart or crown chakra activation, hope/transformation (e.g., better times coming, rebirthing, or cosmic messages around unity, cycles, and higher awareness. Proximity to the Hackpen White Horse and timing near a full moon add layers of ancient landscape symbolism and lunar/solar alignment.
