Your Gravity Problem
By Geoffrey Hoppe
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed something rather interesting. It started with a handful of emails from Shaumbra describing unusual experiences, but then I began hearing the same comments at workshops, in casual conversations, and even from our own staff. At first the stories didn’t seem connected. One person talked about becoming increasingly forgetful. Another wondered why things that had motivated them for years no longer seemed very important. Others described unusually vivid dreams, waves of emotion that seemed to come from nowhere, or the odd feeling that they no longer quite fit into the life they had carefully created.
Of course, there were plenty of explanations. Maybe it was stress. Maybe it was simply part of getting older. But the more I listened, the more I had the feeling that something much deeper was taking place. These weren’t isolated experiences. They were different expressions of the same underlying transformation.
Then, during one of Adamus’ recent messages, something suddenly clicked.
For years we’ve talked about awakening, allowing, embodied Realization and, more recently, New Sentience — the ability to perceive our own creations in ways that go far beyond the mind. I’ve often assumed New Sentience was simply another stage in our evolution. Now I think it asks something very specific of us. It invites us to begin lightening the gravity of our identities.
Notice that I didn’t say we need to get rid of our identities.
That would be nearly impossible, and frankly, undesirable. Identities are one of the great joys of being human. We create them so consciousness can experience itself from countless different perspectives. We become parents, teachers, artists, healers, business owners, adventurers, lovers and dreamers. We even create identities around our successes, our failures, our spirituality and, sometimes, our wounds. Consciousness delights in creating identities because each one offers another rich experience.
The problem isn’t identity.
The problem is the gravity we gradually give to it.
Take a moment and think about it. Have you ever met someone whose entire personality revolves around one thing? Their profession. Their illness. Their political views. Their spirituality. Their suffering. Their success. Before long, everything in their life begins orbiting around that one identity. We’ve all seen it in other people, which makes it a little easier to recognize. The more interesting question is this: Where have I done exactly the same thing?
Somewhere along the way, identities stop being costumes that consciousness enjoys wearing and become so heavy that we begin orbiting around them. Instead of using the identity, the identity begins using us. We feel compelled to protect it, defend it, heal it, improve it and prove it. Before long, much of our life revolves around maintaining something that was originally created simply for the joy of experience.
I’ve even been tempted to give this an official medical name: ID Gravitosis.

Fortunately, it’s remarkably easy to diagnose. Symptoms may include an irresistible urge to keep fixing yourself because surely there’s one more issue hiding somewhere. You collect healing methods the way some people collect classic cars. You secretly believe your mission is to save humanity. You introduce yourself with your résumé before anyone has a chance to meet you. You become terribly serious about your spiritual path. And/or, you take your identity much more seriously than consciousness ever intended.
The encouraging news is that these may not be symptoms of something going wrong. They may actually be signs that the gravity is beginning to lighten.
One of the fascinating things I’ve observed over the years is that energy has an almost childlike honesty. It often expresses itself in remarkably literal ways. I’m not talking about medical diagnosis, and certainly not suggesting that anyone ignore proper medical care. I’m simply referring to the way energy mirrors our consciousness.
Someone who spends a lifetime feeling unsupported may eventually develop back problems. A person who refuses to stand up for themselves sometimes experiences issues with their legs or feet. Someone who never listens to their own inner knowing may eventually find themselves dealing with hearing issues. Again, these aren’t medical conclusions. They’re energetic observations, and sometimes the symbolism is almost poetic.
That brought to mind a recent letter from a gentleman asking about a serious eyesight problem. As I read his heartfelt message, I noticed something fascinating. Before I ever met the human being, I met his résumé. He described himself as a physician, surgeon, healer, shaman, teacher, author, visionary, messenger and several other remarkable things. There was no question that he had lived a rich and meaningful life.
But I found myself wondering where the simple human was in all of this. Where was the man who might simply say, “I’m frightened,” or “I’m grieving the possibility of losing my sight”?
It wasn’t really a question about him. It quickly became a question for all of us.
How many identities have we built over the years? And perhaps more importantly, how much gravity have we given those identities?
I couldn’t help but wonder if his eyesight was inviting him to see something entirely different. Perhaps his soul wasn’t punishing him. Perhaps it was lovingly asking him to look beyond the magnificent collection of identities he had spent a lifetime creating and rediscover the simple being who existed before all of the titles, accomplishments, and missions. Maybe his real vision had never been about his eyes at all.
When we begin lightening the gravity of identity, we often begin seeing ourselves in an entirely different light. Ironically, the moment we stop trying so hard to protect the identity may be the very moment we begin seeing more clearly than ever before.
That also sheds new light on something Adamus has been saying for quite a while. He recently remarked that much of the New Age movement has quietly become the Healing Movement. Everywhere we look there’s another technique, another modality, another certification, another promise that we’ll finally become whole if we just work a little harder on ourselves.
I understand why. We’ve spent lifetimes believing that if we could perfect the identity, we’d finally discover freedom. But what if freedom was never about perfecting the identity? What if it comes from lightening its gravity? There’s an enormous difference.
The identity doesn’t disappear. It simply becomes lighter. Instead of living inside a rigid definition of ourselves, identity becomes playful again. We can wear it when it serves us and set it aside when it doesn’t. We stop asking it to define us and allow it to become what it was always meant to be: a creative expression of consciousness rather than consciousness itself.
The purpose of identity was never to define consciousness. It was to give consciousness something wonderful to experience.
As strange as it sounds, I think this is exactly what our past lives are doing right now. Adamus calls it “re-storying.” No longer locked into the old narratives that defined them, they’re lightening the gravity of those stories and allowing entirely new perspectives to emerge. If they’re doing it, why wouldn’t we?
Perhaps that’s also why Crimson Circle itself is changing.
Looking back over the past twenty-five years, we’ve had our own identities. During the Tobias years many people thought of us as a New Age organization. Later we became known for Adamus and embodied mastery. Depending on who you ask today, we’re described as spiritual, metaphysical, or consciousness-based.
Honestly, none of those labels feel quite right anymore. Not because they were wrong, but because they served their purpose. Just as Shaumbra are beginning to lighten the gravity of old identities, Crimson Circle is doing exactly the same thing. We’re moving into territory that doesn’t yet have a convenient label, and I’m perfectly comfortable with that. Some of the most exciting discoveries happen before someone invents a category for them.
Perhaps our identities have never been our enemies. Quite the opposite. They’ve served us remarkably well. They gave us structure when we needed structure. They helped us survive difficult lifetimes. They allowed us to experience every imaginable role, from teacher to student, healer to patient, leader to follower, victim to victor. Without identity, the human experience simply wouldn’t exist.
Maybe that’s why the gravity has remained for so long. Rather than being a mistake, maybe it was exactly what we needed.
But what if that cycle is now coming to completion? What if we’re not trying to get rid of our identities at all, but simply becoming conscious enough to lighten their gravity?
Just imagine that for a moment.
✨
Imagine your identity carrying thirty percent less gravity. Or fifty percent. How would you wake up tomorrow morning? How would you experience your relationships?
How much energy would no longer be spent defending, fixing, proving or perfecting yourself? How much more joy might naturally find its way into your life?
Identity gave us the experience of becoming someone. Consciousness now invites us to experience being.
And perhaps the biggest question of all is this: Who is it that keeps asking, “Who am I?”
Is it consciousness? Or is it the identity itself, trying to better define and secure its own existence?
Perhaps consciousness has never asked that question.
It has always known.
It simply says,
I Am.
And then, with childlike curiosity, it wonders…
“What shall I experience next?”
Thank you, so practical and eye opening! The picture of the hot air balloon hit home for me too. We climb in the balloon which is tethered to weight it down before it can travel freely. There’s a time of learning and practicing skills to steer it before the pilot navigates it untethered, then the ropes are released.
Mai spun ceva…si gata. Nu mai comentez. :))) Identitatea este inversa Celui Natural. Este ceva asemanator cu a te desena privindu-te in oglinda. Imaginea din oglinda este inversa originalului. Astfel desenul va reflecta imaginea ta inversa. Deci, identitatea este un efect optic, o reflexie a Celui Natural. Cu cat densitatea este mai mare si inversarea este mai mare. Aproape toata spiritualitatea are la baza „lucrul” cu aceasta inversare. De aceea au inventat muntii, treptele, „caderea”. Se spune ca realitatea maestrului este inversa, tocmai din acest motiv. Maestrul are imaginea reala, nu aceea inversata. Cine vrea sa se vada,( cu identitate sau fara identitate), trebuie sa-si aduca maestrul in fata A.I-ului. Este adevarat… vor dispare multe povesti..care excita mintea.
Thank you! Helped a lot listen to your article!
In Metaphysics, Gravity signifies the desire for reunification. Spiritually, it is the Soul’s desire to become whole again. It is a consequence of the desire for manifestation, and that is why it is also what draws you toward your Self. Anyone who has issues with Gravity has issues with what it truly means. The word “healing” should disappear from the Crimson vocabulary. Some time ago, Adamus proposed the word “Balancing.” It’s all about realignment and reharmonization with the Natural One. No identity :)))
Thank you Jeffrey, it was exactly that I need . Now I know that I’m not crazy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mulțumesc,Geoffrey.La mine funcționează cu blăndețe și ușurare,UMORUL,mai ales pe seama mea.Concepte,considerate câdva a nu putea fi trecute cu vederea,acum se îmblânzesc râzând de mine ,cea care voia să le respecte,fără a le diminua locul și felul în care au servit,dar a venit vremea …ieșirii lor la pensie,ha!
Dear Geoffrey/Cauldre
Thank you for this and it has me wondering…What is your relationship like with gravity & identity when you are addressed as Cauldre by Adamus? I assume you are identified with this business, this creation Crimson Circle, including by us (do we keep you identified by our ‘membership?) and by products you put out and by marketing, owning property, employing others. All gravity? All identification? I wonder if I loosen my identity by loosening off from work identity and earning, loosen so much that I may just let go of more, such as a credit card then I can’t buy CC products. We could all just stop this…consuming, identifying. Can I??

Grandiose, Geoffrey. That’s the point!
I am 66 this year, and I start feeling like I was a child. Not like being childish but remembering what kind I was when I was young. I start become to be me, which I have not been for most of my life. If I don’t act like what I was then, I start feeling all kind of sicknes, stomachpain and such. I have to be finally what I am without any limitation.
Thank you 🙏
I look forward to your superb stories. Always. Thank you.
As I read this article I was hit by the truth arrows, it was ouch, ouch, oh……. ok. Thankyou Geoff for the clarity.

Loved this! So insightful.
Amazing!!!
Thank you so much.
Blessings.❤️
Thank you thank you💓
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am. What shall I experience next? 🫠💖🙏
Interestingly, this article is synchronized with what I was pondering and curious about a couple days ago. It brought in some clarity and made sense to an extent.
To me a role is more like mother, friend, healer, teacher, etc. The identity is more like successful, not successful, easy going, very quiet, rich, struggling, stuck, powerful, etc. For example, We try on the role, healer. Next, we have to identify with that role. What type of healer? A holistic, spiritual, all natural, living off grid, eating plant based, plus certified. We now have an identity that we strive to meet before we can assist clients and get paid for it. Is that how we use gravity to fixate on the identities? 🤔 Makes me more curious. 🧐
Zgrabnie ujęte podsumowanie tak wielu lat uświadamiania sobie o co w tym chodzi. O wszystko i o nic. Od kilku lat w pewnym sensie jestem z Shaumbra, choć sama nie czułam się jej częścią. Może to moja tożsamość pustelnika odpychała taką możliwość. Ha, myślałam że już nic mi nie zostało z przywiązania do tożsamości, a tu jednak! Od tego też pora się w końcu trochę chociaż odczepić.
Pozdrowienia z Polski:)
Que hermosa es la simplicidad y profundidad de la sabiduría.
Muchaa gracias Geoffrey por tu Sabiduría en cada artículo que escribes.
Te bendigo y te abrazo 🤗 ✨️😘🫠🦋🌹
Wow, spot on Geoffrey!
A great article to read. And so in time.
I enjoyed reading it!
I was asking myself these questions and there pops up the magazine. Couldn’t be any more synchronistic. Great to read your perspective as it brings a bit more clarity to my inquisitive mind. It was very busy trying to hold on to the gravity. Now it makes sense. 🙂
Thank You, Blessings!
Thank you, Geoffrey.
This touched me more deeply than I expected. I found myself recognizing so many of the identities I’ve carried over the years—employee, mother, wife, helper, problem solver, even “the one who has to hold everything together.”
Reading this reminded me that those identities have served me well, but they are not who I truly am. There is something incredibly freeing about the idea of letting them become lighter instead of trying to perfect them.
The last lines especially stayed with me:
“I Am. What shall I experience next?”
Those words filled me with a sense of peace and quiet excitement. Thank you for such a beautiful reminder.
So on point! Thanks.
Thank you 🙏
