Despite the shitshow that makes headlines every day, I know in my bones that the world has turned. Humanity has passed a critical juncture, and a new reality is beginning to emerge. Maybe not for everyone but for many, and I can see it everywhere. 

First, it must be said that the Artemis II trip to the moon re-awoke something deep inside me. When I was 4 years old, my parents took us to visit someone who had a TV so we could watch the moon landing. I remember watching that grainy black and white image and later looking up at the moon in awe that people were actually up there. When space shuttle Columbia blasted off 12 years later, it took my heart with it. I decided then and there to join the Air Force as soon as possible, become a test pilot, and then an astronaut. My soul, of course, had other plans, but my love affair with the space program endures. Then came Artemis II.

This time going to the moon wasn’t a race; it was an adventure. It wasn’t to win out over an enemy; it was to advance humanity. The crew members weren’t just astronauts and scientists; they’re artists and poets who displayed emotion, recognized goodness, and pointed out the preciousness of life to a worldwide audience. They look like us, showing what can be done through collaboration, companionship, trust, and joy – and it hit a nerve. Across the planet, millions responded, “This is what’s possible! This is what we want!” And for at least two weeks, the word “Integrity” – the name given to the spaceship by the astronauts themselves – was deeply embedded into our collective consciousness.

Now, about that critical juncture I mentioned. Here’s just some of what I see. 

Humans across the globe are beginning to focus on how we want to live, not just what – and whom – we fear. Power games are being seen for what they are – worthless and harmful – as the corruption they bring is exposed. Energy feeding and greed are being recognized and called out, while individual humans are, more and more, choosing kindness, compassion, and goodness.

Sure, there’s plenty of anger and frustration about the state of things. Lost and disillusioned people are lashing out, and many are still choosing suffering. But there’s also something new emerging – a passionate determination that we CAN create something different. Almost every day I see someone’s new vision of how society can work for all of us. 

Fresh stories and documentaries are coming out all the time about out-of-body and near death experiences, infusing mass consciousness with the knowing that life goes on – independent of religion. ^{1 2}
People are leaning into personal freedom, deciding that self-care, emotional responsibility, and trauma healing are legitimate pursuits. Childrearing has changed drastically in just a single generation, moving from guilt- and control-based parenting to nourishing children’s self-love and self-expression. 

What fascinates me most are the proliferating stories of people experiencing reality glitches and timeline shifts. There are groups ³ where people talk about belongings disappearing into thin air and reappearing elsewhere, items lost for years literally dropping onto the floor in front of them, time and reality jumps that cannot be explained. In other words, people are beginning to experience the flexibility of what we thought was solid and permanent.

Even astrology is pointing out a time of massive change and new beginnings. Whether it’s the Chinese Fire Horse, all the planets in Aries, or the end of a 26,000-year cycle, astrologers are using words like “tremendous momentum,” “tidal wave,” “pure potential,” and “blank canvas” to describe this exact moment. We are creating what’s next, and our most potent tools are light, gratitude, curiosity, sovereignty, and courage. ⁴

People are recognizing that the whole point of life is not endless productivity, but joy. We’re beginning to realize that creativity is more interesting than consumption, companionship more fulfilling than control, exploration better than exploitation, and discovery is preferable to drudgery. Despite us old farts who complain about “the lazy kids these days,” it really IS enough just to be alive, creative, and at ease! (Maybe it bugs us so much because deep down we know they’ve got something right.)

Of course, those “in power” are putting up a big fight. The status quo has served them (and us) for a very long time, and it’s hard to let the old ways go. But I know in my bones that the energy sustaining them has collapsed. We’ve wanted change for millennia, but the difference now is that it’s no longer just a few lonely voices crying in the wilderness. Humanity itself is choosing a new direction.

Why? And why now? Yes, consciousness and light are streaming into the planet, filling the spaces of reality. And, as Adamus notes in Eucatastrophe Now! it’s beginning to emerge into real life. But that doesn’t fully explain why this shift is different – why it’s not just another surge of hope or slight level-up of consciousness, but a fundamental reset. The answer is there, just not where I thought to look… until now.

In 2009, Tobias gave us the incredible Journey of the Angels, a tale of where we came from and why we’re here. A big part of the story is about the formation of the angelic families, the subsequent conflicts as we tried to get back “Home,” and the eventual creation of Earth to figure things out. This story, allegorical though it may be, helped me understand so much about life.

Pieces of the story had already been told over the years, and in 2007 I experienced a profound and very personal moment that has stayed with me ever since. I had just prepared a meal and was sitting down to eat, when a knowing dropped in out of the blue. It was so clear and intense that I dissolved into tears: 

I felt this revelation in my entire being and knew it was somehow being transmitted back to my origins, back to the families who had been waiting eons (in Earth time) for the answer. 

That realization has also been working its way into our lived experience, and it was only 13 years later that Adamus announced the disbanding of the angelic families. Having received the long-awaited answer from their scouts – us – they were now heading off into their own discovery, no longer needing the family groups for strength, defense, or… feeding. And with that, reality began to shift completely. 

Here, then, is the reason everything is different now: The angelic Star Wars have ended. 

Our angelic tribes are no longer attacking each other in search of energy, and therefore no longer fueling the earthly tribalism we’ve lived with for so damn long. This is why these changes are not just another carrot, a tired old hope for peace, or another vain attempt at contrived benevolence. The original source of our power games, energy feeding, suspicion, and prejudice is swiftly fading away.

Just feel that for a moment… the Star Wars are over.

Coming back to Artemis II, the astronauts noted something both simple and profound: Earth itself is a magnificent, living spaceship, and humanity is the crew, hurtling through the vastness on a collective journey of discovery. In fact, you can literally look at the Artemis mission as a microcosm of our entire journey – a daring blast into the unknown, a journey full of challenges, factfinding, and discovery, and all without any certainty of survival. There were so many potential points of failure, so many opportunities for catastrophe, and still, they returned safely. Reentry was perhaps the most nail-biting moment – would they survive that final chaotic return? The support team on the ground was huge, but in those final minutes, all anyone could do was wait, hold on, trust the process, and enjoy the ride. Then came the celebration of a job very well done.

Now, turn all that upside down, and it’s exactly where we are, riding out the final phase of our mission to Earth. The ground crew in the other realms has done everything they can to support us, the intrepid explorers, as we’ve beamed back bits and pieces of information about our discoveries. And now, on the final approach, it’s time to just allow, hold on, trust the natural process, and enjoy the ride. We’ve passed the point of failure. The parachutes have deployed. Splashdown (splashup?) is imminent. After enduring the challenges of weightlessness (gravity?), we’re returning to our natural environment, but now with so much wisdom, joy, and yes, love. The welcome celebrations have already begun.

Ah, dear Shaumbra, it feels a bit audacious to declare that the Star Wars have ended, but I sense it. Deeply. The fuel that has sustained eons of Earthly battling is running out. The answer has been found, and now we’re free to discover the physics – metaphysics, really – of this new reality.

When I look at the craziness in the world and Adamus says to step back and see what’s really going on, this is what I see.

So take a deep breath, dear crewmates… a deep breath of self-respect and love. We have a lot to celebrate.
