Yet there are still many, even among those who call themselves “awake” or “spiritual,” who view the subject of the ascension process theoretically from the head, and due to a lack of personal experience, approach the subject with skepticism or do not take it seriously. However, with the symptoms of the End Times becoming more and more obvious, given the natural phenomena and social disruption, it is becoming more difficult for everyone to keep their heads in the sand and pretend that nothing is going on. Therefore, the next few years will be an increasingly strong wake-up call. The years up to 2020 were a soft wake-up call, the c*vid years were already a harder wake-up call, but the coming years will become an inescapable wake-up call that will affect everyone on Earth, directly or indirectly. And then the question will present itself to everyone: is a fortuitous coincidence of physical circumstances going on here, or is a script being finished here, and if so, by whom or by what? And then one will have the choice of judging this purely on the basis of what is happening in the physical outside world, or turn inward and listen to a quiet voice that says: it is a process of awareness. And if one then opens up to this with abandon, one will begin to learn that there are indeed multiple scripts going on. A script being carried out by physical forces behind the scenes, driven by a script being carried out by etheric forces behind the scenes. But one will then also be able to begin to feel and know that beyond that there is another overarching script going on. That of a Divine Plan, directed from the Light.

A paradisiacal future awaits the Earth and humanity as a collective. This is already an accomplished fact, which is good news because 20 years ago this was not yet a certainty. But what this means for the people living today, that is a completely individual matter, in one’s own control. We live in a holographic reality, and the Divine Plan has already successfully birthed the New Earth hologram. This hologram is growing and slowly displacing the Old Earth hologram. The old hologram is no longer receiving life energy, and is therefore digesting like a shed snake skin. This inevitably brings destruction, anything that does not resonate with the new hologram will slowly die off. There is no judgment in that, these are natural laws of resonance and decay. In this we all have the free will choice: which hologram do I personally choose? And with how much consciousness and conviction do I do so? As I cautiously interpret it myself based on signals from the spiritual world from different angles, there will be an overlap between the old hologram and the new hologram for about 20 years, from 2020 to 2040, after which they will definitively let go of each other. In this complex, chaotic overlap period, the choices we make are vital. Not only which hologram we personally choose, but also how we relate to both holograms on a daily basis, how we deal with our consciousness and energy field, how we deal with our inner climate of thoughts and feelings, and what proactive role we take in it.

Choosing the new hologram, the New Earth, requires a certain detachment from the old hologram. If you don’t do that, then you will find yourself more and more in an untenable split, which will put a lot of tension on your body and energy, and may eventually lead to you still being stuck in the old hologram. It is a detachment we may remind ourselves of every hour of every day, amidst all the everyday temptations, distractions, deceptions and information overload. There is a temptation to keep following the news surrounding the decline of the old hologram. There is a great temptation to lapse into outrage at the actors causing destruction. The temptation is great to identify with the drama of the imploding, old hologram, but the consequence is to be sucked into it. The descending frequencies of the old hologram seek to cling to everything and everyone, and it is important to remain vigilant about where we put our feet. If we wish to successfully reside in the new hologram, it is important to let go, choose one’s own individual soul path, and experience compassion rather than pity toward those who consciously or unconsciously choose the old hologram. And should you have trouble with that and see it as something harsh, remind yourself that it is a high form of love to honor each person’s own soul path and free will choices. Everyone lives in their own soul evolution their own unique path and pace. It is at the personality level where we tend to intervene, control or correct what is happening outside of us. At the soul level, there is only the impulse to release and allow each other to experience what we choose to experience.

When we zoom out to a soul level, one could say that this moment in time is not the end but the beginning of our spiritual development. We descended as souls to this low dimension eons ago, we have been allowed to play and experience here for a while over several lifetimes, and now, at this particular time in this particular incarnation, we are being offered an exit to ascend again to higher dimensions. This exit, however, requires a conscious choice, not taken lightly. We are currently living in the pivotal years of our central incarnation, the great turning point in Earth’s history. Spiritual teachers have also called it our “zero point incarnation,” the incarnation that carries the potential to reset, rewrite, and thereby put our entire reincarnation cycle behind us. The singularity of this moment on Earth cannot be emphasized enough, and all eyes are on the Earth. The popcorn is sold out throughout the Galaxy.
From an eternal, cosmic perspective, spiritual development never ends. We are always in motion, we are always evolving or devolving. With the choice to ascend to a higher dimension, spiritual development actually really begins, the movement toward spiritual maturity, from a galactic perspective. And with that choice begins a profound, inner transformation necessary to shed all resonance with the old hologram, to step into and reside in the new hologram. With that choice begins the need for awareness, and the conscious focus on love, respect, ethics and self-responsibility.

Although spiritual development in itself is of all times, it logically plays an extra large role at this very time for those who choose the new hologram. Therefore, I personally cannot separate the impulse of investing in spiritual development from the context of the ascension process. On the one hand because the ascension process forces it, because the transformation moves everything, within myself and outside myself, and I feel no choice but to consciously relate to this movement. It is the soul that is constantly gently whispering to me to live through the process as consciously as possible. On the other hand, because within me there is a need to go through the process of transformation as comfortably and smoothly as possible, with as little chafing as possible, and that means giving the process a hand from time to time in stabilizing my consciousness and smoothing out my energy field, and the additional clearing of old energy residues within myself, released as a result of the transformation. This is for the benefit of my mental and emotional well-being, for the protection of my aura and my multidimensional sovereignty, but certainly also for the protection of my physical body, which is taking quite a beating under the pressure of the multidimensional cauldron that is turning us from the carbon into the diamond. But that spiritual development also includes simply periodic energetic maintenance. We would do well to regularly clean our energy field, from new turbulence within ourselves that we create ourselves through our reactions to a turbulent outside world, as well as from outside influences that interfere against us, including through social media.

Although the ascension process is a serious matter that determines our personal destiny as souls for many millennia, at the same time it is very important to find lightness in this process. In detachment, in honoring the free will of souls, and in realizing that we all live eternally after all, we can be more relaxed in dealing with the events that affect us and others. In fact, lightheartedness and humor are a crucial element of the ascension process. Among other things, it is our inner child that is healed in the transformation of the ascension process, and our deeper, freer presence in our belly makes it easier to go out of the head and center in the heart, between the belly and the head. And the joy one feels in the belly in the process helps to put existence into perspective and stay well with oneself. And ultimately, it is centering in the heart that brings peace, inside and out.

In addition, we must guard against “something” that seems to afflict many at the moment. Through murkiness, through weariness, through satiety, through impatience, through disappointments, through empty purses. That “something” is perhaps even more dangerous than fear, as the counterpart of love. After all, feeling through and overcoming fears is an inseparable part of the process of spiritual development. That “something” I speak of is cynicism. Cynicism is a killer for spiritual development. Cynicism closes the heart and causes despondency and indifference. Cynicism inhibits love and joy. Cynicism is exactly what the inner child does not want, which longs to return to its true nature, that of an open heart, of enthusiasm, wonder and sense of adventure. I see more and more cynical expressions about spiritual development in recent years, and this strewn about especially the so-called New Age movement, even from within. I myself believe that the cynicism itself is a more damaging factor within the spiritual scene than the ego perils or “bad apples” within the scene that have given people cause for their cynicism. And sometimes I wonder how conscious people allow themselves to be so removed from their center and do not apply their discernment and self-reflection to their own emergent cynicism and to their responsibility in their expressions as consciousness pioneers to an awakening masses in the midst of a world full of chaos, about to become acquainted with the spiritual nature of reality, which precisely in an existential crisis offers hope, perspective and relativization. I myself am incredibly grateful that I did not encounter such cynicism during my existential crisis and spiritual awakening around 2005.

To me, the essence of New Age is simply that we are truly in a transition to a new age, and that in it we are all in an individual, spiritual process that determines whether and how we move into that new age. That’s all it is as far as I’m concerned. But if we do want to call it a movement, then it is a movement that more than other movements recognizes the truth of the ascension process, describes the multidimensional mechanics behind the ascension process, and offers the possibilities for proactive, conscious, inner participation in that process. New Age, in my opinion, cannot be reduced to a social order, a marketplace or a frivolous trend; as far as I am concerned, that is a superficial and clouded perspective. It is a spiritual, personal matter that points us in a direction and offers an opportunity to move into a new reality. It points to the same direction that Jesus pointed to when he spoke of the Kingdom of God. And yes, self-love has a central role in that, and contrary to what religion promotes, we can make grateful use of esoteric and self-help techniques in doing so, just as the Essenes and Jesus himself applied them in their spiritual growth and meditations. (Yes, Jesus was a clairvoyant gnostic, something the church willfully turns a blind eye to, but that aside) All techniques that have not coincidentally appeared on the scene on a large scale in recent decades, all of which have their own degree of specialization and effectiveness, and offer many, different paths to Rome. How we deal with them and who we wish to meet or “follow” in that movement, and from whom we choose to purchase products and services, is separate from the core of that process. What social and financial choices we make in that movement is separate from the core of that process. In that, we all have our own responsibility to take from our free will, apply common sense and intuition, and learn from any, unfortunate choices, without holding the outside world responsible. And what “the others” do in their process, in their own struggles with ego, illusions and survival, is completely separate from our own process. And that there are all kinds of ego issues at play and illusions floating to the surface in the collective, is an inevitable and predictable dynamic, which challenges us to become more discerning and wise so that we can grow as a collective, without falling into cynicism. And not even for the benefit of the collective, but primarily for ourselves, because cynicism hits us hardest, with the biggest pitfall being stopping our spiritual development. And that stopping is of course everyone’s right, free will is absolute, but whether it is a good idea when you actually do want to go to the new hologram, one can question that.

The ascension process is ultimately an individual transition process, in which we should stay close to ourselves, and allow our choices to be influenced as little as possible by the choices of others, even and especially when they cross our path. The ascension process is a crossroads that splits into 8 billion paths, 8 billion different reality experiences. In it, the two holograms are the two main paths, but within them, an infinite number of scenarios are still possible, in which the old hologram will remain largely governed by disruption, fear, control and technology gone mad, and the new hologram will be governed by love, restoration and balance between nature and technology. The last thing we should do at that crossroads, if we want to get to the new hologram, is to allow our focus, our drive, our enthusiasm, our eagerness to learn, our curiosity, our wonder at the spiritual nature of reality, to be stifled by what others do, think or fail to do. No one else is responsible for tainting our own perception, on spiritual development or on “New Age” or on anything else, but ourselves. And only we ourselves can clean up our own perceptions, only we ourselves can make the choice from love and wisdom to polish our cynical glasses to rose-colored glasses, and thereby perhaps create a very different future for ourselves, like that of a happy child in a New Earth hologram.

The best “new age” tip I can give you? Go meditate for half an hour twice a day and ask your higher self in meditation to allow the violet energy to flow through you. And trust its effect, even if you don’t have the sensitivity to feel the energy. It costs you nothing, you don’t need anyone else for it, and it brings you back to the core of your own personal “new age” process, without “the others” having any part in it. With the violet energy you burn away your heavy feelings (and perhaps some cynicism), you burn away transformational residues, you burn away others’ lagging, stagnant energies, and you burn away energy connections that you may have unconsciously entered into in following unpleasant events in the Old Earth Hologram. Nothing but benefits, and it helps you tremendously on your way to the New Earth hologram. It serves not only your spiritual development, but also the fluidity with which you move through the coming, exciting years, and the degree to which you may be triggered by the circumstances in the outer world that can be expected in the coming years.

I look forward to the moment when we have collectively left behind the cynical “New Cage” term and returned the process to its core. That of the beauty and fruits of spiritual development, the steady increase of inner freedom, the growing feelings of love, joy, gratitude and wonder. And with it the acceptance of a growth process in which we can celebrate the diversity of the many roads to Rome with all its ego reflections and ups and downs, instead of condemning it and placing responsibility outside of ourselves. That moment is going to come at some point anyway, because the New Earth will ignite the joyful, inner fire to such an extent that cynicism has no chance of survival in it. I only hope that that moment may come much sooner, and that the lightworkers will again all write about spirituality with optimism and hope, thus increasing the chances of the new hologram for many. And yes, of course with discernment and advancing insights, because the ascension process is also about puncturing illusions, but that actually makes the process purer, stronger and more resilient, not weaker or more corrupt. Let us not be blinded by minor abuses on the periphery of the ascension process, but keep the core and big picture in mind, the value of spiritual development and the increasing love that carries us more and more into the new hologram, the New Earth, every day.
