Life’s Magic Recipe

Life’s Magic Recipe

By David R. Hamilton PhD | Source

Posted on January 18, 2025




A pinch of kindness, a dash of courage, and a sprinkle of hope.

Every morning brings a fresh start. It’s one of the simplest truths of life but also one of the most profound.

The sun rises, the day begins, and with it comes the opportunity to wipe the slate clean. No matter what happened yesterday—or even last year—today is a chance to begin again.

That’s the beauty of mornings. They don’t demand perfection or require us to have all the answers. They simply invite us to show up. And how we show up is up to us.

Some days, we might greet the morning with a clear plan and unshakable determination. Other days, all we might muster is a cup of coffee and a willingness to try again. Both are enough.

The question is: What will you bring to your new day?

Kindness: The Gentle Force of Renewal

If in doubt, try kindness. That’s my motto.

Kindness, especially toward ourselves, is a powerful way to begin anew. Often, we’re hardest on ourselves for what we didn’t do, what went wrong, or how we fell short. But mornings remind us that life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about progress. A little self-compassion—a moment to remind ourselves that we’re doing the best we can—can shift our entire perspective.

And kindness isn’t just for us. When we extend it to others, we create ripples that can transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. A smile, a kind word, or an unexpected gesture of generosity might be the spark someone else needs to start their day with hope.

Courage: The Strength to Try Again

Sometimes, a new beginning feels daunting. Perhaps yesterday brought challenges, failures, or heartbreak. But courage isn’t about erasing the past. The past has passed. Courage is about choosing to move forward despite it.

Courage can be as quiet as taking the first step toward a goal or as bold as daring to dream again after disappointment.

Even a tiny act of bravery—like saying “yes” to something new or “no” to what no longer serves you—can remind you of your strength.

Hope: The Light That Guides Us

And then there’s hope. The soft, steady flame that keeps us looking forward. Hope doesn’t promise that everything will be easy or perfect, but it does assure us that there’s potential in every day.

It allows us to envision a better future and take steps toward it, even when the path feels uncertain.

A pinch of kindness, a dash of courage, and a sprinkle of hope—these small ingredients can transform the most ordinary morning into something meaningful. They remind us that while we can’t change what’s behind us, we can shape what lies ahead.

So, as you sip your coffee or take that first step into the day, ask yourself: How will you begin again? With a kind heart, a courageous spirit, and a hopeful mind, there’s no limit to what today might hold.

The Surprising Science of Contagious Happiness

Pass It On: The Surprising Science of Contagious Happiness

By Dr David R Hamilton

Posted on April 7, 2027




Imagine you’re having a regular day, feeling neither happy nor sad. Then you meet up with a friend who is buzzing with excitement about something great that’s just happened to them.

Without even trying, you start to feel a little lighter, a little happier. What if I told you this isn’t just a coincidence, but a well-documented scientific phenomenon? And the further effects are quite astonishing.

Scientists James Fowler and Nicholas Christakis studied data from thousands of people in a large social network and found something incredible: happiness is contagious.

For example, if someone you are friends with becomes happier for some reason, then there’s a fairly decent chance that you will also become happier over the next few weeks or months.

They even put some numbers on it. If it was an immediate social contact who became happier, the chances of you becoming happier were 15%. But this was an average of social contacts in general, people you know and interact with from time to time. If the person who became happier was someone you considered a friend, then the chances of you becoming happier was 25%.

And if this friend was a close mutual friend, and who lived within a mile of you, the chances of you becoming happier if they became happier increased to 63%.

How is this even possible?

Well, there’s two main factors. One is emotional contagion and the other is behavioural contagion. And they both fit under the umbrella of social contagion.

Emotional contagion

Emotional contagion is the phenomena where we ‘catch’ the emotions of people we spend time with, just as you can catch a cold from someone you interact with. It’s facilitated by a network of brain cells known as the Mirror Neuron System (MNS).

When someone you’re with smiles, your MNS picks up their facial muscle movements and automatically triggers the same ones in you.

That’s what the ‘mirror’ bit means. It’s why you tend to smile when someone smiles, frown when someone frowns, even tense when you see someone looking fearful.

But this is only half of it. At the same time, your MNS pings the emotional regions of your brain that are consistent with the smile, so you not only smile but you also feel a bit better.

In this way, if they’re smiling because they feel happy about something, within seconds you find yourself smiling and feeling happier too.

Behavioural contagion

With behavioural contagion, we become happier when someone’s behaviour around us changes. So if your friend becomes happier and starts behaving differently, their happier behaviour has a knock-on effect on you.

For example, maybe they want to go out more, share more coffees and conversation, go to the cinema. As you go along, these experiences result in you becoming happier too.

It can also be caused by imitation. For example, say your happier friend tidies their garden and decorates their home because of how they’re feeling, you may well get the urge to do the same yourself, and reap the rewards of satisfaction at the extra cleanliness and colour in your life.

Contagious happiness tends to work through both these pathways.

And it depends on the quality of relationship. It’s much stronger if you are close friends, but less so if a friendship is one-sided. For example, if someone thinks of you as a friend but you don’t see them in the same way, then there’s only a 12% chance of their happiness impacting you.

The ripple effect

Where things get really interesting is that happiness can spread much further than from just one person to another. Happiness actually spreads up to what’s known as 3 degrees of separation.

This means that if you become happier, you will increase the likelihood of your friends becoming happier (1-degree), your friends’ friends (2-degrees), and your friends’ friends’ friends (3-degrees). And most likely you have never met, nor will ever meet, most of the people in this latter group. Yet your change in happiness affects them.

That’s amazing! To put some numbers to it, starting with the 15% average figure I mentioned above, which is the likelihood of your contacts (in general) at 1-degree of separation from you becoming happier if you become happier, Fowler and Christakis found that people at 2-degrees of separation from you stand a 10% chance of becoming happier because you have become happier.

And that’s the fascinating bit: because you became happier. Not for some other seemingly random reason. But because you became happier.

And then it extends farther. People at three degrees of separation from you – remember, these are your friends’ friends’ friends – have a 6% chance of becoming happier because you became happier.

Let’s put this into perspective. Say you have ten friends and each of them have ten friends, so that’s 100 people at two degrees of separation from you, and each of these people also have ten friends, that’s 1,000 people at three degrees of separation from you.

So roughly 60 of these people will find themselves feeling a bit happier over the next few weeks or months because you have become happier, either through emotional or behavioural contagion.

If you ever doubted how deeply connected we all are, just let those number sink in for a second.

So the next time you do something that lifts your mood – a walk in nature, a heartfelt conversation, an act of kindness – remember that the benefits may extend far beyond yourself. Your happiness might just be the spark that ignites a wave of joy for people you’ll never even meet.

An Open Letter to the Dark Controllers

An Open Letter to the Dark Controllers

By R’Kok

Channel: A. S. 

Posted on October 28, 2023
 
 
 
 

 

This is R’Kok speaking. I want to address the dark controllers, also known as the cabal, the deep state, the illuminati, the dark pyramid, et cetera.

In case you haven’t read my previous messages: I am what Earth humans would call a reptilian. Nowadays I’m a member of the galactic confederation, working as a military advisor. But in my younger years I lived my ambitions. I was considered a prodigy and I was particularly brutal and controlling, even by the standards of my people.

Killing millions, including my own brother? Bending and breaking the minds of other people? Brainwashing entire populations so that they become trapped in an inverted reality construct, where up is down and down is up? Torturing children in front of their parents? Setting up an underground breeding network where women are kept locked up and raped, so that I had a steady supply of children to use for blood and body parts and rituals, plus that way I had sex slaves that I could give to people as bribes? Sure, not a problem. I didn’t even hesitate. The only emotions I consciously felt were anger, desire, disgust, brief glee when I triumphed over rivals, and annoyance such as when I wasn’t able to get more money for selling my uncle into slavery.

In other words, I used to be at least as dark as you are. Pretty much everything you’re doing right now, I’ve done. I understand your psychology and your mindset and your tactics perfectly well.

In fact, I was better at it than you are. At one point I had subverted an entire planet and had become its sole overseer. You know, what you are trying, and failing, to accomplish on Earth? I achieved it. And I didn’t have to share power with an entire organization. I alone had power over life and death.

So, what’s it like to rule over an entire planet?

At first, it was pretty nice, I’m not going to lie.

But after a while, once you have power, it just becomes boring. I could have any woman, any luxury, any pleasure I wished. Okay, great. That was fun for a while. But then what?

Having power doesn’t actually mean anything. Eventually I was one of the most powerful and wealthy beings among those who were physically incarnated. And I just felt nothing, other than a vague relief that I didn’t have to fight and backstab my way to the top anymore, because I already was there.

What does power actually mean? Okay, you can have pleasure and luxury, and you can satisfy your ego by having people be turned into concubines or having people be tortured or mutilated or degraded for your amusement. And yes, that’s fun for a while — or at least, I used to enjoy that. But then what?

I know your subconscious thought pattern goes like: “I will achieve power, and then I will be happy and triumphant and content.” No you won’t. I speak from experience. You think that having the level of power you dream of will make you happy, but if you ever actually achieve that, it will bore you out of your mind. You will actually feel your mind degrading because there will be nothing left to accomplish anymore, nothing left to do anymore.

At this point you can’t possibly enslave humanity. Even I couldn’t do it at this point if I were in your shoes. But for the sake of argument, let’s say that you actually succeed in enslaving humanity, and succeed at keeping the angels and positive galactics and Source from intervening on Earth. Let’s say that you somehow prevent your own organization from backstabbing itself, because certain individuals in your organization want to kill off most of your own organization in order to consolidate power into their particular family. But let’s say you somehow avoid all that and achieve control of Earth, and somehow you achieve that without your own organization tearing itself apart (which it will do if you ever get even close to your goal).

Sure, having total control of Earth will be fun for a while. And then what? What is your plan once you get bored? Colonize more planets? Okay, let’s say you’ve built a galactic empire. Great. Then what?

The chase for more power and more control is ultimately a fool’s errand, because even if you succeed, your reward is profound boredom. There’s nothing at the end of that road. It’s not even that there’s a secret trap there. There’s just nothing. It’s nothing.

And it’s not like the process of climbing that mountain is very fun. Yes, I know there are some pleasures here and there. I’ve indulged too. But I’ve actually been the person climbing the mountain of power, and I’ve been the person at the top of the mountain, and I’m currently a member of the galactic confederation. And the most rewarding and ultimately happiest life I’ve had, by far, is being a member of the galactic confederation. Sure, I don’t have slaves anymore, but I actually feel something again, other than disgust and desire and anger and annoyance. Life isn’t boring anymore. I’m moving forwards. I feel unstuck.

My mind is expanding, not just in terms of cleverness and cunning and depravity, but I’m finding that being part of the galactic confederation is making me better at existence. It’s not even about sharpening my mind to be able to affect the world more efficiently. It’s more that nowadays I Am, and previously it merely was the case that I Did.

I know your ego keeps telling you that once you satisfy it, once you have the power, you will be happy and satisfied. My ego told me that too. But it’s a lie. Do everything your ego asks of you, and your reward is profound boredom. I’ve been there. Meanwhile, if you satisfy your soul, then that is actually satisfying and that actually will make you happy on a deep level.

Satisfy your ego and you get fleeting pleasure and then profound boredom and nothingness. Satisfy your soul and there’s a continual ramping up of self-esteem and happiness and of the quality of your consciousness.

I know you think you’re very clever, manipulating Earth humans like that, but the move that would actually be clever would be switching sides and starting to help Earth humans and the galactic confederation. You won’t be able to fool us by merely pretending to come to our side, because we’re mind readers. However if you genuinely switch sides and actively start working to help Earth humans, then you will eventually have a place among the galactic confederation. They gave me a place among them, and I’ve done at least as much evil in my life as any of you have.

So, you have a choice. One path is continuing to try and enslave humanity. This path is guaranteed to fail and guaranteed to lead to your arrest or death, as deep down you already know. And even if you were to succeed, you’ll just end up being profoundly bored. I know total power seems so meaningful right now, but if you actually have it, it turns out that total power equals nothing at all.

And the other path is helping Earth humans liberate Earth. Yes, I know this will mean that you have to swallow your pride. But this is a path that will actually, in time, lead to genuine happiness and contentment and feeling good inside your own mind. Walk this path and you may eventually earn your place in the galactic confederation, as I have.

If you are as smart and rational as you say you are, if you are as much a master as you say you are, then the choice is obvious. One path leads to guaranteed failure and arrest or death, and even if you succeed then your reward is a level of boredom that you will have a hard time imagining right now. And the other path leads to an existence that is actually happy and satisfying.

This should be the easiest choice in the world.

So then the question becomes, will you continue to let yourself be ruled by your ego? Or will you master yourself enough to be able to make the rational decision?

The choice is up to you.

Spirituality was a Mistake

Spirituality was a Mistake

By R’Kok

Channel: A. S. 

Posted on October 28, 2023
 
 
 
 

 

My dear Earth friends,

This is R’Kok speaking. I feel honored and grateful that I am once again able to communicate with you.

So: spirituality was a mistake.

That was today’s message. Have a good week.

Okay, let’s be a bit more serious.

For a while now I’ve been at that stage where I am going through my healing and integration processes.

And let me tell you, it sucks. Life was much easier and more fun back when I hadn’t started my spiritual journey yet, but had already become a member of the galactic confederation. If I still was that person, I wouldn’t feel the constant need to face painful memories and emotions. I wouldn’t feel the need to do service and volunteer work for the benefit of others (currently, mostly for the benefit of Earth people). If I was still that person, I just could suppress my painful thoughts and emotions and feelings of guilt, through sex and pleasure and food and intellectual pursuits and through blaming others.

Blaming others used to be my favorite way of dealing with negative emotions.

I could be spending my days having threesomes. Instead I’m spending my days advising how to best help the people of Earth. I’m accepting face-to-face meeting requests from individuals whose lives I ruined before I joined the galactic confederation, in order to hopefully give them a bit of closure.

And I’m spending my days sorting through the broken pieces of my younger years.

But the thing is, now that I’ve started this spiritual process, I feel trapped. Now I feel that I can’t go back. Sometimes I wish I could go back to a life consisting of sex and distractions and rationality and blaming others, but it’s too late now. Now that feels hollow.

I sort of feel that I should be saying that I’m focusing on being a better man, on helping others, on atoning for my crimes.

But the truth is, although I am accepting meeting requests from individuals whose families I tore apart, although I am advising on how to best help the people of Earth… currently I’m mostly concerned with my own pain.

I can’t handle also taking in the full enormity of what I’ve done. Just the thought of fully taking that in seems like it would obliterate me.

And yet, once I started this spiritual path, everything except focusing on spirituality and my own healing, everything except helping others began to seem hollow and not worth doing.

The way forward on this spiritual path is pain, but the way backwards is gray and meaningless. And if those are my choices, I’d rather choose pain.

At least it’s meaningful pain.

Do you think I’m a jerk, because at this time, I’m mostly concerned with my own pain?

Well, maybe I am a jerk.

And by the way, don’t be too quick to say that I’m such an great guy. If you had been born in another place, in another time, you would know me as that monster whose secret police tortured your husband or daughter to death. Then you likely would not be so eager to compliment me.

If you’re ever able to travel the galaxy, tell my victims what a wonderful person I am.

They’ll be able to help you get rid of any illusions you might have about me.

Tell the man whose wife I kidnapped, repeatedly raped and eventually ate that I’m such a good person.

But let’s get back to the main topic. I was describing that being asleep is pretty comfortable, on a surface level, in the short term. While going through a spiritual journey of healing and integration can initially be very painful. And that is something that many, MANY people on Earth subconsciously understand. Including the sleepers, but also including some people who consider themselves spiritual and who actively do spiritual practice.

Now, if you strip it down, the basic spiritual techniques are really simple. Anyone can do it. There are a million options, but one possibility is just: every day, sit down, close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, and breathe out slightly longer than you’re breathing in. And also, if so-called negative thoughts or emotions come up, observe them. That’s it. In essence, it’s really easy. Anyone can sit down, close their eyes and breathe. Anyone can observe their thoughts and emotions.

However. HOWEVER. Most Earth people understand a few things deep down:

One: observing your pain is really painful. It hurts.

Two: the path of observing or otherwise dealing with your pain isn’t just really painful, it’s also long.

Three: developing awareness and compassion and unity consciousness means that you can’t retreat into a comfortable and pleasurable narcissistic bubble anymore. You can’t blame others anymore, you can’t point fingers anymore. You’ll feel obligated to spend less time doing things you like and more time on helping others or on personal growth.

Four: on Earth it can be very lonely to be serious about spirituality, especially if you don’t go along with mainstream spirituality and all its cliches and types of performative spirituality. Other people may think you’re weird or insane. You may not feel like you have a lot in common with the people you share a planet with.

Five: seriously embarking on the spiritual path is almost like burning the bridge you just crossed, in the sense that once you have walked the spiritual path for a few years, ordinary life starts to feel sort of meaningless. Once you seriously start with spirituality, it’s hard to unburn that bridge and return to a previously-comfortable slumber. Maybe eventually your spiritual journey will lead back to a place where the small things in life do become meaningful and joyful again, but that’s not what it seems like during a particular part of your spiritual journey.

And that is part of why most people haven’t even begun their spiritual journey, and why some spiritual people aren’t as advanced as they would like to be. (Although to be fair, lots of spiritual people are genuinely doing great work and are doing everything properly, they aren’t as far along as they would like because it’s just a long and hard road, and because life on Earth is just very tough).

Some spiritual people meet their needs and do their regular spiritual practice, which is great and which is two thirds of what is required. But then they just suppress or deny or judge their so-called negative emotions or their so-called negative thoughts.

That said, I know that a lot of you out there aren’t suppressing or denying or judging your so-called negative emotions and negative thoughts, and are instead dealing properly with them, for example by observing them. You have my respect. It’s a long and painful and seemingly unrewarding road, isn’t it? I’ve been told that it gets better, but yes, right now it sucks.

And that’s why a lot of sleepers sleep, and why some spiritual people just suppress their so-called negative thoughts and emotions and then don’t make as much progress as they would like. The road of actually properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions can be long and painful.

Yes, being fully enlightened is amazing, however being asleep is much more comfortable in the short term than properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions, whether that’s by observing them or something else.

You can think of it as: normal Earth consciousness is like being overweight, sitting on the couch, watching tv and eating chips. It’s not what is best for you, but it is comfortable in the short term. Doing spiritual practice and properly dealing with your so-called negative thoughts and emotions. is like going to the gym regularly and losing weight. Full enlightenment is like having a fit, healthy body.

Yes, everyone wants a fit body, but not that many people are really willing to put in the consistent effort to get there.

Even the people who identify that having a fit body is something they want — even spiritual people who want to grow spiritually — will sometimes still just suppress or deny or judge their so-called negative thoughts and emotions. Because dealing properly with them can be a long and painful road.

So, spirituality was a mistake.

But maybe I will someday have a spiritual six-pack regardless. I do want to put in the work, long and painful as that road may be.

Maybe someday you will have a spiritual six-pack, too.

We Are Here

We Are Here

By Adama of Telos

Channal: Dianne R.

Posted on January 10, 2024



I am Adama, Ascended Master and High Priest of Telos, a Subterranean City beneath Mt. Shasta in California.

I am dictating this message to you from my home beneath the Earth, where over a million and a half of us live in perpetual peace and prosperity.

We are human and physical just like you, except for the fact that our mass consciousness holds thoughts of only Immortality and Perfect Health. Therefore, we can live hundreds and even thousands of years in the same body. I, myself, have been in the same body now for many many years.

We came here from Lemuria over 12,000 years ago, before a thermonuclear war took place that destroyed the Earth’s surface. We faced such hardships and calamities above ground, that we decided to continue our evolution underground. We appealed to the Spiritual Hierarchy of the planet for permission to renovate the already existing cavern inside Mt. Shasta, and prepare it for the time when we would need to evacuate our homes above ground.

When the war was to begin, we were warned by the Spiritual Hierarchy to begin our evacuation to this underground cavern by going through the vast tunnel system that’s spread throughout the planet. We had hoped to save all our Lemurian people, but there was only time to save 25,000 souls. The remainder of our race perished in the blast.

For the past 12,000 years, we have been able to rapidly evolve in consciousness, due to our isolation from the marauding bands of extraterrestrials and other hostile races that prey on the surface population. The surface population has been experiencing great leaps of consciousness, in preparation for humanity to move through the Photon Belt. It is for this reason that we have begun to contact surface dwellers to make our existence known. For in order for the Earth and humanity to continue to ascend in consciousness, the whole planet must be united and merged into ONE Light from below and ONE Light from above.

It is for this reason that we are contacting you: to make you aware of our underground existence so you can bring the fact of our existence to the attention of our fellow brothers and sisters above ground. Our book of channeled messages is written to humanity in hopes that they will recognize and receive us when we emerge from our homes beneath the ground, and merge with them on the surface in the not too distant future. We will be grateful to you for the part you play in helping us broadcast the reality of our existence.

The Kindness of Strangers

The Kindness of Strangers 

By Rev. Dr. John R. Mabry

Posted on February 20, 2024




Explore these thoughts on receiving spiritual care from someone of a different faith — and giving it.

We live in a multireligious, multicultural society. This is a treasure, but it often comes with challenges. When hardship and crisis strike we are rightly grateful for the kind souls who rush in to care for us—especially those who offer spiritual and emotional care, such as hospital and hospice chaplains, spiritual counselors, funeral directors, or even the caring person in the checkout line who reaches out when we are in a vulnerable moment. Increasingly in our culture, however, those kind people practice faith traditions that are very different from our own. How can we receive the grace they offer in the spirit that they intend? And when we are the ones helping, how can we be of greatest service to folks whose faith is different from ours?

If you are the one being cared for, it is important to remember that you and your caregiver are both human, and have the same human needs, feelings, aspirations, and struggles. No matter how different your spiritual paths might be, simple kindness and compassion are a universal meeting point.

If your caregiver is a professional, you can trust that he or she has been well prepared for ministry, and is a person of significant spiritual maturity. Most likely, there is nothing you are going through that he or she has not seen before.

Even though the metaphors and stories of religious traditions are very different, the process of spiritual growth and the spiritual practices employed by spiritual traditions are remarkably similar. A question like “What happens when you pray about that?” is valid regardless of whether the speaker (or the hearer) is Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Native American!

Your caregiver may also surprise you with his or her knowledge of your tradition. Caregivers are often used to working with people of diverse cultures and traditions, and are often well informed about many of them. Most importantly, remember that no matter how exotic your caregiver appears to be, he or she cares about you, respects you and your spiritual path, and wants to help.

If you are a professional caregiver or just a compassionate person who has an opportunity to give comfort in a difficult moment, remember that a person in need—no matter what his or her faith tradition—has the same needs as you do. Grieving people need comfort, and frightened people need encouragement. You will not be able to use the sources of spiritual wisdom (such as liturgy or scripture) that you would with someone of your own faith, but kind words, caring presence, and reassuring touch are universal.

Remember to be humble about the truth claims of your own faith—what we don’t know is always far greater than what we do know. And while our own tradition is rightly precious to us, it is not the only way to walk a spiritual path. “Different” doesn’t mean “wrong.” We must always be diligent not to fall into the trap of privileging what is dear to us.

Please remember that trying to convert or invalidate the faith of someone who is in a vulnerable place is a betrayal of trust. For professionals, it is malpractice. Even if your personal theology emphasizes conversion, remember that as a professional caregiver, you hold a position of public trust. Do not betray it.

There is no harm in praying silently in whatever way feels natural. But when praying aloud, make sure to use neutral language, or (better yet) use the prayer forms and language favored by the tradition of the person you are caring for.

People don’t need “fixing,” they don’t need suggestions or answers. What they need most is a compassionate ear and the loving presence of another human being. Keep in mind that the Divine does the healing work in any difficult situation, not us. The most effective caregivers are those who know how to get out of the way and allow the Divine to do the work. The best way to do this is to be as aware of the Divine presence as you are of the person you are caring for.

Is Humanity Going to Free Itself?

Is Humanity Going to Free Itself?

By R’Kok

Channel: A. S. 

Posted on September 23, 2023

 
 


Note from the channeler(A.S): the first time I did this channeling, R’Kok was quite upset and somewhat angry that the situation on Earth just keeps dragging on. As a result, the information laid out wasn’t super clear (and it also wasn’t a satisfying rant or anything like that). R’Kok and I agreed to redo the channeling a few days later. This is the second, more coolheaded version of this channeling.

I write this to indicate that the galactics aren’t unfazed by what is happening on Earth. They do care.

Here’s today’s message from R’Kok:

—

My dear Earth friends,

This is R’Kok speaking. I know the situation on Earth is very tough, and so I hope that you are doing relatively okay.

There are probably about ten thousand good-hearted beings who would like to be channeled, for every one reliable channeler on Earth. Hence I am grateful for the opportunity that I can once again talk to you.

Hakann shared an important message last week, titled: “Hakann: Debunking “the liberation process has to be this way.”” In it, he called on the higher-up gray hats to start taking action very soon, and said that if they failed to do so, the galactics may arrest these higher-up gray hats and have them face a galactic court, either for conventional crimes or for oath-breaking.

This led to some questions. Fair enough. I would like to give some clarifications and share some context.

First of all, if a random Joe breaks their oath, we’re not going to arrest him and drag him in front of a galactic court. The situation with the higher-up gray hats specifically was that they usually swore an oath to defend either the constitution or the people, and after their oath they were given power or command over other people. If they then break their oath, they’re effectively controlling other people without consent or justification. At that point, they’re yet another controller, violating the free will of other people.

So if you prefer, instead of dragging oath-breaking higher-up gray hats in front of a galactic court, you can also think of it as: dragging those people in front of a galactic court who have controlled or commanded people without justification. And the moment they broke their oath to protect the people or the constitution, is probably the moment they became a controller, who violated free will.

A gray hat general might try to defend themselves by saying: “yes, I failed to uphold my oath to defend the constitution. However, the people who I continued to command chose willingly to serve under me.” This doesn’t really work in our eyes, because the people under them had a reasonable expectation that their superior was in fact upholding his oath. Also, in the army you can’t really ask your superior if he is actually upholding his oath, or disobey him just because you suspect he might not be upholding his oath. It’s not like a commanding officer ever tells the people under him: “I’ve decided to break my oath to protect the constitution. Do you wish to continue obeying my orders? If not, no problem, you won’t get in trouble if you now stop following my orders.”

So yes, if a gray hat general or gray hat president breaks their oath, but then continues to command people or write laws that control people, then effectively they’re being a controller, who violates free will. And that is certainly something that we can drag them in front of a galactic court for. Of course, we’re not saying that these people are automatically guilty. We’re just saying that this is sufficient basis for a court case.

Second, as I’ll explain later in this message in more detail, we’re either going to not intervene directly and also not arrest the higher-up gray hats; or we are going to intervene directly and are also going to arrest the higher-up gray hats as well as black hats. With “intervene”, we mean something like us taking over your mainstream media and/or us arresting certain Earth humans. So what we’re not going to do is arrest the higher-up gray hats, while leaving the black hats in place.

Next up, some people have asked: what right do you have to intervene like this at all? Well, good question.

On Earth, the way it’s theoretically supposed to work is that the law determines what does and doesn’t happen. Now, this isn’t actually true — what determines what happens on Earth is power and money and the will to act. In practice, the law is more a tool that the dark controllers use to control the population, with the dark controllers themselves breaking the law whenever that’s convenient for them. But theoretically, the law determines what does and doesn’t happen.

How it works for us positive galactics is that first and foremost, we serve Source. And this isn’t theoretical lip service — many of us can literally talk to Source and ask it what it wants. Now, usually Source is very hands-off and doesn’t give any instructions. However, if Source requests that we do something, then that’s what we’re going to do.

If Source doesn’t have any requests, then secondarily we have a very few galactic laws. We find that if you structure society well and everyone has what they need and if everyone can live in freedom, then you don’t need many laws. Still, one example of a galactic law is: you are not allowed to directly harm another, unless you have a very good reason (for example self-defense or defending the innocent).

Also, we know that Source likes certain things such as people having much opportunity to exercise their free will. Us galactics try to promote those things that Source likes.

There is a misconception that Source doesn’t have any preferences whatsoever. This isn’t true. If that was the case, Source would never have created anything in the first place.

Now, yes, Source is usually hands-off. However, Source does for example like it when people have much opportunity to exercise their free will. Someone who has “much opportunity to exercise their free will” is someone who you would think of as free. Conversely, an example of someone with little opportunity to exercise their free will is a slave. A slave can disobey their master, but then they are punished or killed. Technically no one can take your free will away from you, but people certainly can restrict the opportunities you have to exercise your free will.

Source prefers people being free to being enslaved, or in other words Source likes it when people have much opportunity to exercise their free will. Why? Because Source is the poor person who is enslaved. Moreover, both the individual person, as well as the universe at large, experience more metaphorical growth when people have much opportunity to exercise their free will. The universe is more interesting when everyone has much opportunity to make free-will choices. A universe where only a few masters have much ability to choose, and everyone else is a slave, isn’t very interesting and doesn’t lead to a lot of metaphorical growth. Source isn’t opposed to there being some amount of suffering in a certain place for a certain period of time — that too leads to growth — but it certainly can also be the case that Source thinks that a certain place has had too much suffering for too long. Earth is one such example.

So we’ve discussed direct requests by Source, galactic law and us galactics generally trying to promote things that Source likes. Fourth, of course us positive galactics like it when people are free and people aren’t suffering. Taxation and censorship on Earth both look like free-will violations to us. Not to mention that dark controllers sometimes intentionally poison your food and water, and sometimes just straight-up murder people who become inconvenient. So there are clear free-will violations. People also don’t have a real ability to not-consent, or to get justice when their free will is violated. Hence many Earth humans have directly asked us galactics to intervene, and indeed, that is what many of us would very much like to do. We want to end your suffering and to physically meet our Earth brothers and sisters. We know that every day that passes, billions of people suffer, and some children literally get tortured or killed. We want to end this.

So to recap: us galactics are in service to Source. If Source directly requests that we do something, then we do it. If Source doesn’t make a direct request, which is usually the case, then we follow galactic law. We also try to do things that we know Source will like, such as making sure that people have much opportunity to exercise their free will. And of course, we like it when people are free and aren’t suffering.

Let’s look at Earth through this lens. Has Source made a direct request? Yes, Source has asked us to help make sure that the people of Earth will be free in the near future. That, by itself, gives us enough justification to intervene on Earth, and to do what we think needs to be done in order to ensure that the people on Earth are indeed free.

Following or serving a deity has gotten a bad reputation on Earth, because frankly a lot of your deities are either gray or dark beings, and on top of that certain people falsely claim to speak for certain deities. However, following or serving Source is actually fine and works well, because Source isn’t evil and doesn’t lead people down dark paths. Also, once you have a substantial group of people who can talk to Source like we have, people can no longer falsely claim to speak for Source.

So Source has requested that we help Earth humans, and so we shall, and this overrides galactic law. Still, let’s look at galactic law anyway. Is there a galactic law that says that we can’t intervene? No, there is not. We don’t actually have a non-interference law. We don’t have something like the Prime Directive from Star Trek. Why would we make a law that says we can’t intervene to help other people at all, in any circumstance? It’s easy to think of examples where intervention is clearly necessary and thus this law would lead to other people suffering for no reason. Therefore, why would we make such a law?

That said, we do want to do things that Source likes. And in this category, it is true that if the people on a certain planet have a reasonable amount of freedom, then us intervening may very well limit their opportunities to exercise their own free will. Namely, even if we hand a moderately-free people technology or knowledge that reduces their daily chores and that should theoretically give them more opportunity to exercise their free will, then in practice this can lead to an eventual collapse which actually reduces their opportunity to exercise their free will. Atlantis is an example: we handed you too much technology and knowledge too quickly, and we solved too many of your problems for you, and the resulting society wasn’t stable and it collapsed. Whereas we have observed that if a group of people solves their own problems, then they’ll build a society that is stable. Because of this, we tend to be hesitant about directly intervening.

It’s easy to point to people suffering and say “therefore we must intervene.” Many galactics have made this argument over the millennia. However, can you even comprehend the amount of suffering that was caused by us galactics over-intervening during the times of Atlantis and contributing to that fall? If we hadn’t over-intervened back then, today you would likely be living in a sort of paradise already. Us over-intervening in Atlantis led to millennia of suffering. Because of this, we are very careful to not over-intervene.

So, with regards to Earth, our primary objective is to make sure that you are free, because that’s what Source has decreed. There is no galactic law that stops us from intervening directly, and even if there was, we prioritize requests by Source over galactic law. However, we are aware that us intervening directly can lead to a situation that isn’t stable, which in turn can lead to a lot of suffering. Us intervening doesn’t always lead to instability, but it can lead to it. Whereas if Earth people solve their own problems, they will build a society that is stable.

With us intervening directly, we are talking about something like us taking over your mainstream media, and / or us arresting certain Earth humans. We are not talking about the solar flash, because we can’t trigger the solar flash by ourselves. Source can do that by itself, or us galactics can do that in combination with angels and certain celestial bodies. But so far, neither Source, nor the angels and the celestial bodies have given their thumbs-up for triggering the solar flash. Hence at this specific point in time, we don’t have the option to trigger the solar flash (although this can change quickly, if other beings change their mind). Hence the choice that we have is: do we intervene or not?

If you had talked to us ten years ago, we would have explained this and concluded that we should support Earth humans and solve hard-to-address problems for them (such as dealing with hostile galactics). However, back then there was a good probability that Earth humans would free themselves. Therefore, ten years ago, it seemed clear to us that we shouldn’t intervene ourselves, beyond support and solving hard-to-address problems. Instead we should let Earth humans liberate Earth humans, and let Earth humans build a new society — which would then be guaranteed to be stable.

Today… today the possibility that you will free yourselves is substantially lower. While you lightworkers have performed very well and have done your part, the gray hats really haven’t been doing their share of the work. While we are in favor of peaceful citizen protest, we are not expecting a sudden huge wave of that. Moreover, even at times and in places where that did happen, it’s not like the people got their freedom back. The dark controllers aren’t going to give up just because of protests, or just because some people make certain legal or lawfulness arguments. At the end of the day, the situation on Earth won’t end until some people simply arrest the dark controllers. There is still a probability that the gray hats will finally arrest the dark controllers, but currently that probability is low.

In fact, the current probability of Earth humans freeing themselves is low enough that it’s actually close to the point that would lead us to conclude that we have to intervene ourselves. Which would mean us taking over your media and / or us arresting certain bad guys, and risking possible instability that might result from that.

There are several reasons for why we have become more pessimistic about Earth humans freeing themselves. One of them is Lahaina and the corresponding lack of action, disclosure and help from the gray hats. You may also recall that in years past, there was some amount of optimism among lightworkers that bad guys would be arrested soonish and disclosure would happen, but this optimism has diminished over time. Well, our optimism has diminished over time too.

Now, to be sure, it has always been true that you will be free, and that is still true today. That is not in question. There is no future scenario under which you are not going to be free. It’s just a matter of: will humanity free itself, or do we have to intervene and risk possible instability from that?

We have already stepped up our behind-the-scenes operations even more. Also, Hakann’s message from last week was an attempt to encourage humanity to free itself. And some higher-up gray hats have indeed seen Hakann’s message, although they haven’t taken the action yet that we were hoping for. Again, gray hats: if you feel that you need help with the mass arrests and disclosure, then talk to us and we’ll happily give you all the support you need.

Still, we may have to intervene at some point. An intervention by us could happen from anywhere between October 2023 to somewhere in 2026, although there is a small probability that it will be later than 2026, and an intervention in 2023 is unlikely. If we intervene, then most likely that is going to be in 2024, 2025 or 2026. I understand that many of you are suffering every day, so we do understand that intervening sooner rather than later would be a very good thing.

Every cycle Hakann spends time with his family, and when he resumes work, the first thing he checks is if there’s any sign of Earth humans having made a substantial move towards freeing themselves. We are still hoping that you will free yourselves. And if you do free yourselves, we don’t need to drag any of the higher-up gray hats in front of a galactic court, either for regular crimes or for oath-breaking. In this case, we would just be hands-off and we would happily let humanity make its own choices.

But if I’m being blunt, the probability of you freeing yourself at this point is pretty low and it’s also dropping over time. Meanwhile, the situation on Earth can’t even be described as “awful but stable.” As you know better than I do, things are getting worse on Earth, not better. The dark controllers are ramping up their attacks on the human population. So we’re seeing things deteriorate while we’re not seeing the gray hats ramp up their own efforts to anywhere near a sufficient extent. Don’t get me wrong, the gray hats are doing some things, but not nearly to the level that we think is required.

If the choice is between directly intervening ourselves versus watching you get genocided and enslaved, well, I think the choice is obvious.

So if the probability of you freeing yourself drops below a certain point, or if too much time passes, then we will intervene. Source has decreed that you will be free, and if that requires our direct intervention, then so shall it be.

If we intervene, we are likely going to arrest most or all of the higher-up gray hats, either for conventional crimes or for oath-breaking. And we’ll drag them in front of a galactic court. And of course, we’ll arrest the black hats too, and we’ll work to give you freedom and disclosure. Because frankly, from our point of view, it’s starting to look like both gray hats and black hats are standing in the way of your freedom. I would love to be proven wrong by the gray hats remembering their oaths and actually defending the people or the constitution, but so far I’m not seeing it.

Finally, I would like to ask you a question. Obviously we have our own data and methods of gathering information and ways of predicting the future, but we are still curious about your perspective. The question is: suppose there is no direct galactic intervention or solar flash in the next three years. Then do you think that in the next three years, Earth humans are going to free themselves through mass arrests and mass disclosure?

You are invited to respond in the comment section.

Meanwhile, I will keep making arguments in favor of us actually intervening on Earth. Now, I’m just a military advisor, and I don’t have a big red “intervene now” button that I can press. Still, I promise that I will do what I can to work for your freedom.

With love,

Your galactic brother,

R’Kok
