There is some movement now, where people are coming out of the helpless stupor our administration induces and are looking for what they can do to not take it anymore. This week I have what could be their gamechanger. I’m eager to hear back about it. Would it be understood? Could the mad-as-hell resistance that’s flaring up throw out this pebble of possibility so that its ripples reach everyone?
Brian Swimme says the shift that’s ahead, that this gamechanger could be bringing about, will be bigger than what Copernicus and Galileo ushered in. That was when Earth lost its dominance as the center of the universe, and, over time, we went from kings and serfs to democracy. I’m urging you all to be pebble persons, flinging this post out.
A teaser:
Trump is creating a karmic bonfire for unfinished aspects of the American psyche that are an impediment to the work now required to unify the world. He incarnated to unearth the unpleasant truths and neglected history of your country so that you could ultimately mature.
By embodying what is dark and destructive, he is calling out more of your light. Now is the time for the embodiment of higher truths in the public square.
Too often, those who become more conscious diminish their ability to wield real power. Wielding power non-violently is necessary.
Simply put, America is to create a more spiritually awakened, consciously connected, collaborative, and just society that supports the realization and betterment of the greatest number of citizens.
Earth is meant to be a glorious place to live. That’s what you’re going to build out of the ashes of destruction that Trump leaves, an America that reflects its higher purpose as a country.
Do not think this will happen without your participation. Stopping him is going to require your full strength. But it is also necessary to understand why he exists and do the inner work he is requiring. How long this process takes is up to all of you. If you are fully motivated, you can enlist thousands into the cause of becoming fellow evolutionaries.
The tendency in spiritual circles is to trust in the unfolding rather than to trust in your capacity to change things. That passivity needs to shift now so that the most conscious individuals are the most passionately engaged.
If you’ve been with me for a while you’d likely think these directives are from me. They are not. They are individual excerpts I took from A Wider Perspective on Our Moment/Preparation for What Lies Ahead. The whole thing is a must-read.
This was my response to author,
:Stephen – I am stupefied reading this. The things you are saying are what I’ve been saying and haven’t found anybody else saying. Here are some of the comments I’ve made on other people’s posts:
“The universe perhaps sent Trump to knock everything down so we'd reorganize as a cooperative humanity, which we needed to be before Trump to stand a chance to combat nature bearing down on us.”
“I think about some higher force that could be in play, where an apocalypse was so threatening from what preceded Trump that he was ‘sent’ to destroy the current system so as to get all hands-on deck to work on getting a life-giving energy to take over.”
“So, my addition to possible explanations for Trump’s victory is that the universe, as a creative entity that’s in an evolutionary process, delivered Trump to crash a reality that has us on a deadly path where the oligarchs are running our show. Trump, instead of destroying us, may have saved us by being so beyond the beyond that we the people rise up, beyond being followers, to take our power to create a workable world where caring about each other beats exploiting each other.”
But there’s more than our common perception about Trump that my stupefaction comes from; it’s also because of my automatic writing that I did in the ‘80s. INSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE: Mapping the Path to Oneness has been my life’s guide. There were no Trump directives then, but it’s as if we were getting communications from the same source. Here’s an excerpt:
“Almost everyone is evaluating instead of entering life, where they would not know separation. Replace survival and acquisition with adventure. Gather the messiahs.
“Suzanne, you are here to model a way of being that is very foreign to most people. We have programmed you to seek excellence. You cannot settle for less. You know the composition. The orchestra must be in tune.
“You are here to be a maestro. Your job is to make maestros. You are a spirit guide. We are waiting for you to get this. Free yourself from identification with Earth boxes. Do your job. Don't complain. You're doing it. Relax. You will do better -- which is feel better -- if you remember who you are.
“There is some kind of basic workability to look for, like you're a mechanic and Earth is a vehicle. Make it work. It works from skewing the point of view from a separate me to a collective we. Humanity as a collective is causal and can create success.
“There is a leap so awesome to be taken at the heart of life's mystery that none go there. Jesus was the only one. Others have known God; Jesus was God. That position is what people are to assume. Just imagine it, however. That voice is never heard.
“Jesus said who followed would be greater, but so far no one has been as good. Find company, meet in passion, and step into life. You will merge in ever greater capacities.
“Surround yourself with power. It is your time to play a guts game. You will get in your universe exactly what you settle for, and it's time for you to have nothing but the best.
“Surround yourself with total support -- with people who are with you on the inside...on the same side. Be with appreciators of the God in each other. Gods all, you are one.”
There’s a brilliance to what came through you, Stephen, that’s one of the most valuable things that could be circulated, a gamechanger to get people to be forward thinking. Also, focusing on the light makes it shine brighter, and vice versa. The despair is so deep now, and this is a life-giving vessel for transcending evil and birthing a next phase for humanity.
There is one exception to not finding anyone saying Trump is here to crash our unworkable system. I got the basis for my comments about Trump from Georgia Lambert, my teacher/ally from the wisdom tradition. She held court years ago in my living room salon, and I think she should be on the world stage now. From a new webinar, What Lies Ahead:
Slavery as a pattern is one of the most ancient evils of humanity. Every nation had that form as part of its economy. Because this nation took that on and embodied it and went through the worst war this country's ever been through, it's no longer part of the world economy. This country does that. We take on those negative patterns in order to lift them up.
Something that went on in World War II has echoes of what we're facing today. This is from the book, “Messianic Legacy”:
“The first world war had been an insane war. The madness was rampant and as all-pervasive as a cloud of poison gas. Once underway, the whole thing had a grim juggernaut momentum no one was able to control. The madness was essentially formless, and that which lacks form cannot be opposed.
“In contrast, the Second World War made sense. it was sane because Germany had taken on mankind's capacity for horror, for outrage, for atrocity, for bestiality. Germany, paradoxically, redeemed the western world into sanity. It took Auschwitz and Belsen to teach us the acts we were capable of, and to make us want to repudiate them.
“The war against the Third Reich became a legitimate crusade in the name of decency, humanity, civilization. There was no question where that evil lay and it was evil, not just stupidity, not even tyranny as associated with the Kaiser, or Napoleon, or even Stalin. In short, the world's collective madness being embodied in a specific people acquired form, and once endowed with form it could be opposed.”
There are many different opinions as to what's wrong with the world today, but the point is that it's being given form. Now we're at the place where we're going to see, not only in our country but the rest of the planet, what are we really going to stand for.
Last week I consulted AI about our predicament, without giving any data about the challenges we face. This is another must-read. It’s from 2022, but causal realities are the same now and
gives us a brilliant picture of what we are up against in 10 Reasons Our Civilization Will Soon Collapse.So, as the horror of our experience benefits us by cracking our hearts open, where we cannot bear the slaughter, the stupidity, the squandering of the value of being human, and the loss we have to deal with, take some heart that the awfulness could be our deliverance.
We are so deeply insane that I don’t think we should put it past the universe, as an intelligent body, to have sent Donald Trump as a game destroyer. Our system was so in need of overhaul and so resistant to fundamental change that it could have taken the human equivalent of a nuclear weapon to get us pried loose from what runs our show.
Eyes on the prize, where Trumpty Dumpty will have a great fall, and humanity will rise from his ashes.

Thank you for this thought provoking reflection. Framing Trump as a catalyst for collective awakening challenges conventional narratives and invites a deeper understanding of disruption as a potential force for transformation. Your call for conscious engagement, especially from those on a spiritual path, is both urgent and necessary. The metaphor of being “pebble persons” beautifully captures the quiet power of intentional action. This is a compelling invitation to reflect, engage, and co-create what comes next.
Thank you for sharing this. I loved Stephen's essay, and love reading your response to it. I know of several others who have suggested this way of seeing our current mess, and it rings true for me. We need to embrace our power and learn how to make our individual differences into strength and creativity rather than this destructive, weakening divisiveness.
