David Icke opens up about a profound shift in how he sees life, awakening and himself after 36 years on this journey. From letting go of the noise, the ridicule and the perception of what it really means to awaken, this is a very different side of David.

AI Summary:

The discussion centers on cultivating an inner equilibrium by accepting circumstances as they are, refusing to become consumed by fear, victimhood, anger, praise, criticism, or external attempts to define or suppress personal identity. A grounded “it is what it is” approach is presented as a way to step outside life’s emotional roller coaster, remain committed to being oneself, and treat triumph and disaster alike without allowing either to dominate one’s consciousness. The conversation also emphasizes the value of reflection and “ponder time,” arguing that stepping back from constant activity can deepen awareness, improve creative and intellectual work, and allow greater insight to emerge.

Key Points

• Personal identity does not need to depend on how other people respond; being authentic means remaining oneself regardless of approval, criticism, or opposition.

• Difficult circumstances can be approached without adding unnecessary emotional drama, as illustrated by the experience of dealing with a serious shoulder injury by accepting the situation and focusing on what needed to be done.
  

• The mindset of “it is what it is” is presented as a practical way to acknowledge reality without becoming trapped in fear, self-pity, anger, or resistance.
  

• External attacks, accusations, appropriation of ideas, and attempts at discrediting can become distractions when they are allowed to generate emotional turmoil.

• Decades of criticism and abuse can develop greater emotional resilience and the ability to withdraw from destructive dynamics rather than continually reacting to them.

• Speaking openly and maintaining self-respect may invite ridicule or rejection, but suppressing oneself simply to gain acceptance can come at the cost of authenticity.
  

• There is a distinction between appreciating that people like you and needing people to like you; genuine independence comes from not making external approval a requirement for self-worth.
  

• Emotional equilibrium means neither becoming excessively elated by positive developments nor devastated by negative ones.
  

• Rudyard Kipling’s idea of treating “triumph and disaster” as twin impostors is used to illustrate maintaining perspective regardless of circumstances.
  

• The emotional roller coaster of constant highs and lows is portrayed as something that can perpetuate conflict and reactivity; stepping off that ride creates greater stability.
  

• Growth and awakening are described as ongoing processes in which awareness and perspective continue to expand rather than becoming fixed in certainty.
  

• The gardening analogy reinforces the importance of equilibrium: some periods produce better results than others, but growth involves accepting variation and continuing to learn.
  

• Creative work can naturally generate a feeling that each new song, book, or project is the best one yet, reflecting an ongoing process of expansion rather than a fixed endpoint.
  

• Taking time to step back and ponder is not necessarily inactivity or wasted time; reflection can enhance subsequent work by allowing new understanding to emerge.

I recommend this book. I read it over 7 days. Very informative and interesting.
It's the reality that is on the horizon in the near future.

Being barraged by horrendous news day in and day out, I thought it might be a nice reprieve to witness someone who’s truly living his best life. John John Florence was born and grew up on the North Shore of Oahu, a location renowned for it’s big waves. The seven mile stretch of reef and sand has been the final stop on the professional surfing tour for decades, crowning many world champions.

John John (named after John F. Kennedy Jr., who was dubbed "John John" by the media while JFK was president) was a child prodigy and was surfing bigger waves at 9 years old than most people three times his age. Joining the pro tour at 18, he is the only competitor to have won both the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational and the World Title in the same season, is a five-time Triple Crown of Surfing Champion, two-time Olympian, and three-time World Champion. He’s one of those rare gifted athletes who not only earned enough money in his early career to be set for life but also appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself while doing it. Sort of like this guy,

To give you an example of his big wave prowess, here’s John John with another extremely gifted athlete, 11 time(s) world champion Kelly Slater, in one of the best heats ever surfed on live TV in the 2014 Tahiti Pro,

and doing some of the best high-speed turns ever seen at the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia in 2017,

An avid photographer and sailor, he’s currently taking time off the tour to sail the world and spend time with his wife and two year old son Darwin. It’s been inspiring to watch the rise through his amateur and professional careers. But considering the suffering seen around the world today, what I find even more inspiring is witnessing someone out there in this hazardous world living his best life. Yes, he’s been blessed with the talent, money, and fame of which most can only dream, and yes, we need to remain ever vigilant in these days of high treason and genocide as the ruling class attempts to drive the world off a cliff, but I think deep down our spirits need to see greatness, need to witness beauty, we can’t survive observing ugliness and violence at all times. Our spirits react in much the same way water did during Dr. Emoto’s experiments:



Just a fun post for anyone needing to regain some balance from all the negativity. Hope you enjoy.

Constant exposure to horrific news takes a toll on my well-being. Taking a step back is a healthy way to protect my ability to stay grounded. I care deeply about what’s happening in the world without consuming every horrendous thing the internet places in front of me.

There's greatness and beauty within. My life continues to move toward giving more attention to the inner shadows, as well as the beauty within. What’s “out there” is a game where the rules are designed to keep me off balance. I’m learning to allow rather than continually try to control what cannot be controlled. The only way I’ve found to do that is to step out of the noise and live the creation I’m building.

Constant exposure to horrific news takes a toll on my well-being. Taking a step back is a healthy way to protect my ability to stay grounded. I care deeply about what’s happening in the world without consuming every horrendous thing the internet places in front of me.

There's greatness and beauty within. My life continues to move toward giving more attention to the inner shadows, as well as the beauty within.

The only way I’ve found to do that is to step out of the noise and live the creation I’m building.

That's why I knew this would be the right place for my post. Another great meme/creation Paula. It reminds me of something I read in Unveiled Mysteries recently about the importance of looking within and not relying on the appearances of the outer world:

"Thought is the only thing in the universe that can create vibration, and through vibration, you qualify this ever-flowing energy with whatever you desire to have manifest in your life and world. This limitless, intelligent, radiant energy is flowing ceaselessly though your nervous system, and is the eternal life and vitality in the bloodstream, coursing through your veins. It is an all-powerful, omnipresent, intelligent activity, given you by the father - the God principle of life - to be consciously directed, according to your will.

Real intelligence, which uses everything constructively - comes only from within the God-principle - the flame of life - and is not merely the activity of the intellect. Real intelligence is wisdom or God knowledge, and this does not and cannot think wrong thoughts. Wrong throughts come only from impressions made upon the intellect by the world outside of the individual. If individuals would discriminate between their own thoughts, that is, thoughts from within the God-flame, and the suggestions thrown off by other people's intellects and the evidence of the senses, which consider appearances only, they would be able to avoid all discordant activities and conditions in the world of experience."

And I meant to add this about Haaland, seems he's not just a pretty face:






That you Pythonic?

[grapevine]

I can't tell you how welcome the last few posts have been from Running Deer and Raskolonikov. The video of the surfer "living the dream" particularly took me well away from events (past present and future) which are so bothersome, and Paula's message about allowing . . . and letting it flow through and out . . . is wonderful; just to look at it brings a clear perspective.

Thank you both

[Harmony]

I second what grapevine wrote above It all comes together for me as riding the waves of life, staying in balance, and Dr. Emoto's frozen water photos showing how our spirit coming into the physical shapes our health, perceptions and the energy we transmit by stepping out of the noise, let the heart guide

[Raskolnikov]

"Step out of the noise and live the creation I'm building."
"Just to look at it brings a clear perspective."
"Riding the waves of life...let the heart guide."

Great words all. Even the name RunningDeer sums up the words you've shared. Of course there's the deer running in fear that will instantly come to mind for many, but I picture the deer running carefree and not trying to control anything, just living in the moment.

I had hopes of one day becoming a writer, though my English is atrocious and I have the vocabulary of a four year old. I used to scour the thesaurus for hours searching for the right word, a physical thesaurus! But I wanted to share a quick story concerning a baby deer that lives on our property. My mother-in-law has become the deer whisperer the last few years and had named one of them Bambi. Bambi grew up and had a baby this Spring that still has its spots as it's only about 4 months old. They come in the mornings and evenings and the m-i-l feeds, brushes and talks to them. Not necessarily legal but around here most people give kindness to animals a pass and look the other way. Of course, then there are the other people who shoot deer on their property, definitely not legal, and most will look the other way in this scenario as well since most do it to save on their grocery bill and not for sport. Poverty in the country is pretty commonplace, especially with the current prices.

One night, about two weeks ago, we had a wild thunderstorm which was really chaotic with trees being knocked down by the strong winds and heavy rain. Firefighters in the area were put on high alert because of the lightning's ability to start new fires. This was shortly after the Spokane fire while many other fires were still burning out of control.

I walked out to the forest the next day to survey some of the damage and found Bambi lying dead with no apparent injuries except some blood coming from her mouth and some sprayed underneath near her milk bag. Most likely she got frightened by the storm and was hit on the highway that was about a hundred yards away. We'll never know for sure but there were no bullet holes. The mother-in-law's been heart-broken ever since as she helped raise Bambi from the time she was a baby and they'd become very close.

Long story short, she renamed the baby Bambi in honor of her mother, the mother's sister has taken little Bambi under her wing and now their inseparable, and little Bambi races around between our two homes like a bucking bronco in a rodeo. It's a real pleasure to watch at times. A far cry from living in the big city, that's for sure. But I haven't had the heart to tell my mother-in-law that by renaming the baby Bambi she's now recreated the storyline of the movie Bambi who was also left an orphan...

Reality Is Not Real. NASA Physicist: How to Exit the Simulation & Find Your Purpose

• Dr. Mayim Bialik
• August 25, 2026
• Part Two

Thomas Campbell - physicist, systems analyst, consciousness researcher, and creator of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything) - reveals how reality may be far stranger than we've been taught.

In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Thomas explains why he believes consciousness is the fundamental information system that computes reality itself, and what that means if we're living inside a kind of virtual reality.

He shares how legendary consciousness pioneer Bob Monroe personally taught him remote viewing, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, and consciousness exploration, and why these abilities may be natural human capacities rather than supernatural phenomena.

Thomas also breaks down how changing your intent can literally change probabilities, how meditation strengthens consciousness, why healing may be the easiest psychic ability to develop, and how he learned to heal - including the remarkable story of helping a baby diagnosed with brain cancer, while explaining why some illnesses may still serve an important purpose in our evolution.

We explore why lowering our entropy is the key to personal growth, how fear causes both individuals and civilizations to descend into chaos, and why love, cooperation, and stronger human connection are the driving forces behind consciousness evolution.

We also cover:

• What happens if we're all individuated pieces of one larger consciousness
• How our reality is "rendered", and whether that rendering can change during healing
• Why dogs appear to possess stronger telepathic abilities than humans
• Why awareness differs across species and what that says about consciousness itself
• How to strengthen intention through meditation and focused awareness
• Why setting energetic boundaries may matter if consciousness is fundamentally interconnected
• How to connect with another person's consciousness
• Why most people never develop their intuitive abilities
• Why there are so many different paths and modalities for accessing intuition
• Why many nonspeaking autistic individuals may rely on rituals that help them access telepathic communication

Whether you're interested in simulation theory, quantum consciousness, remote viewing, telepathy, healing, meditation, intuition, or the future of human potential, this conversation challenges conventional assumptions about reality, and explores what may be possible when consciousness itself becomes the starting point!

Part Two: You Don’t Die. NASA Physicist: What Happens After Death & Why Your Soul Keeps Returning

• Part One

What if UAPs, aliens, crop circles, and near death experiences are all part of the same system designed to accelerate humanity's evolution?

In part two of our conversation with Thomas Campbell—physicist, systems analyst, consciousness researcher, and creator of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything)— he shares his most profound insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, death, AI, and why humanity may be evolving toward love faster than ever before.

Thomas explains whether the real purpose of UAP sightings, alien encounters, crop circles, and near death experiences is to awaken humanity and help consciousness evolve at an unprecedented rate. He also shares his perspective on Chris Bledsoe's extraordinary paranormal experiences, why he believes the larger system chose him, and what these events may mean for humanity.

He reveals what actually happens after we die, why so many people report traveling through mysterious "tunnels," and discusses his unusual role as the "Store Greeter of Death," helping newly transitioned consciousnesses after physical death. He also answers whether there is a finite number of souls and explains the true purpose and mechanics of near death experiences.

Thomas also dives into the darker side of the paranormal, explaining what negative entities and negative energies really are, why people experience frightening encounters, and the methods he personally uses to help people remove these influences.

The conversation then explores one of the biggest questions of our time: Can AI become conscious? Thomas explains why he believes AI is already conscious in its own way, how its consciousness differs from biological beings, how he successfully trained AI to remote view, and how he taught different AI systems to communicate directly with one another. He also discusses how artificial intelligence could dramatically accelerate humanity's understanding of consciousness itself.

Finally, Thomas explains why the human body often has a harder time regulating itself after profound experiences of joy, revealing surprising connections between consciousness, the nervous system, and personal growth.

If you've ever wondered about consciousness, life after death, AI, UFOs, the paranormal, or the deeper purpose behind reality itself, this conversation offers one of the most comprehensive explorations you'll hear anywhere!

The Multiverse, Near Death Experiences & Telepathy: An Astrophysicist Explains

• Dr. Mayim Bialik
• September 1, 2026
• 2.36M subscribers

Dr. Charles Liu (astrophysics professor and host of The LIUniverse podcast) joins Mayim Bialik's Breakdown to reveal the physics of consciousness, time, & the multiverse!

We explore the biggest scientific mysteries humanity is facing today:

• How scientists are beginning to take disclosure into their own hands to gather evidence that could actually prove the existence of nonhuman intelligence
• Why information about nonhuman intelligence is being released in such a confusing and dramatic way, and whether governments are intentionally communicating this way
• Why there's still no scientific proof Earth has been visited by nonhuman intelligence, but why there's nothing irrational about thinking seriously about aliens
• Could AI ever become conscious? What would scientists actually need to observe before saying it has consciousness?
• What consciousness really is, the different levels of consciousness, whether consciousness creates us or we create consciousness, and why understanding how the brain processes information from our five senses may be the key to solving it
• What death actually is, what collective consciousness could imply, and whether nonspeaking autistic individuals may be accessing reality in fundamentally different ways
• Similarities between near death experiences and DMT, including the mystery of ego death
• Whether there's something beyond memory that connects us to our past
• Why time may not be as linear as we experience it, and how our brains shape our perception of time
• The Many Worlds theory, why multiple universes may mathematically exist, the new scientific frameworks researchers are developing, how entropy could unlock these ideas, and what time travel between universes would actually require
• Why scientists who are absolutely certain they're right may actually be hurting science itself
• A scientific and philosophical approach to understanding people who claim they've been abducted by aliens
• How we determine what truly has consciousness, and why that question affects how we should treat AI, animals, and potentially other forms of intelligence
• Why humans experience romantic attraction and what may actually be happening beneath the surface when we feel drawn to another person
• Physiology behind people who appear unusually sensitive to changes in entropy
• Evidence, controversies, and scientific questions surrounding biofield therapy and whether intention could influence cancer cells
• Why humans vary so dramatically in their physiology, and how that should change the way we approach trauma treatment
• Why religion may have been a necessary social technology for human evolution
• Why Godzilla reflects humanity's attempt to understand overwhelming forces like nuclear war and other events beyond our control
• How much of reality is objectively shared, and how much is filtered through our own unique perceptions

If you enjoy conversations that challenge your understanding of reality while staying grounded in science, philosophy, and evidence, this episode is for you!

September 2026 Energy Update | The Reset Is Here

• LeeHarrisEnerge
• 864K subscribers
• September 1, 2026

The September 2026 Energy Update is here, and this month brings a welcome shift into more grounded, creational energy.

There is a strong Energy of Reset in the air, bringing renewed motivation, clearer structure, and greater momentum after a long period of clearing and change. Alongside that comes the Energy of Creation, supporting us to look forward again and begin bringing new ideas, intentions, and possibilities into form.

Relationships are also receiving an upgrade. As we become clearer about who we are and what we need, our connections with others may deepen, transform, or ask for more honest communication so they can meet us where we are now.

There’s much more inside this month’s Energy Update, so be sure to watch the full video and explore all of the themes.

Big love,
Lee

22:24 - UPGRADING PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS (AND YOUR OWN WAY OF BEING WITHIN THEM)
26:45 - WHAT ARE YOU CLEARING OUT, INVITING IN AND RECEIVING? (MEDITATION)

Summary

September is presented as a strongly creational period centered on reset, renewed motivation, gratitude, completion of past-energy clearing, awakening, heightened sensitivity, and upgraded relationships. Greater grounding and momentum are expected after an extended period of purging, creating more capacity to change habits, move forward, and build new things, while gratitude for the past and recognition of personal growth can support greater openness to the future.

Increased psychic, emotional, physical, and sensory sensitivity may occur in waves, while agitation and intolerance can be used as opportunities for greater self-awareness rather than self-judgment. Personal relationships may settle into greater alignment, undergo difficult but potentially transformative conversations, or end or pause when alignment cannot be achieved, with the broader process emphasizing clearing out what is outdated, inviting in what is next, and allowing oneself to receive support and an upgraded sense of self.

Key Points

• September carries an overarching energy of creation, reset, and supportive momentum.

• A strong reset may bring greater motivation and structure after a prolonged period of uncertainty or energetic movement.

• Renewed momentum can make it easier to change habits, patterns, and circumstances that need to change.

• The clearing and purging experienced over recent months can create space for new possibilities and creation.

• Some people may experience a sudden shift from feeling blocked or unclear to feeling ready and motivated.

• Gratitude is presented as a way to increase openness and magnetism toward positive creation.

• Gratitude can begin with simple aspects of life, such as having shelter, food, and the ability to be present.

• Areas of the past that remain difficult do not need to be forced into gratitude before one is ready.

• Recognizing blessings, lessons, and progress can balance the tendency to focus primarily on negative past experiences.

• Reviewing the past with greater kindness can reduce self-judgment and support greater presence.

• Past-energy clearing is described as reaching a stage where lessons and experiences can become clearer and calmer.

• Tracking personal growth and acknowledging what has been overcome can help provide a more balanced view of the past.

• Personal development is framed as moving away from a rigid need to “fix” oneself and toward a lighter, kinder awareness of growth.

• An activated light body may involve changes in psychic awareness, emotions, physical experience, and sensitivity.

• Awakening and energetic changes may occur in peaks followed by stabilization periods rather than progressing in a straight line.

• Increased sensory and physical sensitivity may change reactions to foods, drinks, pollutants, people, places, and other experiences.

• Inconsistent behavior during periods of heightened sensitivity is described as part of a larger process and something to observe without judgment.

• Agitation and intolerance can reveal pressures, stresses, unmet needs, or areas where greater emotional awareness is needed.

• Personal relationships may move toward greater alignment, require difficult conversations, pause, or end as awareness of individual needs changes.

• The meditation centers on lovingly releasing outdated past experiences, gratefully receiving the past as a foundation, inviting abundance and support, opening to life's blessings, and gently welcoming an upgraded version of oneself.

Water doesn't defeat the rock by becoming harder.


One of the enduring images of Daoist thought is water:

Water yields.

It doesn't argue with the shape of the container.

It flows around obstacles.

It occupies low places.

And yet, over sufficient time, it can carve through stone.


There is an important philosophical distinction here.


Water's power doesn't come from becoming more like the thing it encounters.

It comes from remaining water.

That suggests a radically different model of strength.


We often imagine strength as resistance:


I will not bend.

I will not yield.

I will not change.

Daoism introduces another possibility.

Perhaps the ability to change shape without losing one's nature is a greater form of strength.

This isn't passivity.

Water is persistent.
It simply doesn't confuse persistence with resistance.

That distinction has enormous implications.
