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.

Dolly queen of country music and humanitarian hero, dies. The news was announced by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, in a video statement posted on her social media channels on behalf of the family. He noted that she had asked him years earlier to make such an announcement. Reports indicate she died peacefully; no specific cause of death has been publicly detailed. Love you Dolly Rebecca Parton - she was just two months older than me.

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. ~ Cedar  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. "This may be the most personal conversation we’ve ever had with David. He talks about slowing down, becoming a gardener, why “no one is ever truly awake,” and the surprising shift he’s been experiencing over the last year."
8:8:8 ~ 8 August 2026
8/8/2026 marks the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal, highlighted this year as a Triple 8 portal. The Lion’s Gate is linked to the approximate alignment of the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius (sometimes called the Spiritual Sun), Earth, and the constellation Orion. The peak is observed on 8 August, within a broader energetic window from roughly 28 July to 12 August. Themes • Heightened manifestation energy and conscious creation • Spiritual activation, heart-centred awareness, and personal sovereignty • Potential for energetic downloads, DNA/light-body activation, and the clearing of old patterns • Preparation for the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo that follows on 12 August This is a powerful time for meditation, intention-setting, journalling, crystal work, and rituals focused on abundance and heart-led goals. Some are organising group meditations and sound journeys specifically for 8:8:8. You are welcome to share your intentions for what you wish to manifest. ~ Cedar Sadhguru (Jagadish “Jaggi” Vasudev) is 68 years old. He was born on September 3, 1957, in Mysore, India. He will turn 69 on September 3, 2026. In this talk he says he only has a few years to live and in that time he has some debts to settle.

Sadly, that kind of divisiveness and disrespect has migrated to Australia. Thankfully, we still have the Greens, some independents and numerous citizens who have humane, peaceful and progressive policies. I know how critical it is to move out of despondency as quickly as possible, so to raise my frequency once again I used my trusty breathing technique, worked with my Higher Self, and did the Lion's Gate meditation by Viviane Chauvet. A dear friend also reminded me of Cynthia Sue Larson's question: HOW GOOD CAN IT GET?
Trump and Netanyahu are two of the most heinous bullies, braggarts and murderers in the world. They are both criminals who perpetuate wars in order to stay out of jail, and their militaries and governments comply with their depraved orders. It's not safe to be an ally of either country. Neither 'leader' has outgrown their juvenile years or turned their intelligence into wisdom – and so millions, if not billions around the world, are suffering from the arsenal, tariffs and sanctions they deploy in their insanity. They plan even larger devastating strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure such as power plants, oil refineries and related sites, bridges, etc this weekend. Do not believe Trump and Netanyahu’s war is about ensuring Iran does not make a nuclear bomb - even though the USA and Israel have many. Trump is guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, has Jeffrey Epstein-related files against him, is guilty of sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll and ordered to pay her a total of $88.3 million across the two civil cases, etc etc. Netanyahu is guilty of murder, war crimes, mass starvation, bribery, fraud, breach of trust and more. The US and Israel are currently funding a massive migrant scheme by flooding Spain with migrants from Morocco. This is in retaliation for Spain denying Israel and the US access to its airspace to target Iran. The International Court of Justice has just announced 'Israel will be tried for genocide.' How can this non-stop US and Israeli brutality continue to happen?
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. ~ Cedar 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 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. ~ Cedar
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. ~ Cedar  Photo Credit Crop Circles from Above
