with a hastily-organized “cease-fire.” You don’t change the nature of the combatants, or the reason for the struggle.
For those of us looking at the Big Picture:
One of the clearest voices I have ever heard on this subject is that of Teal Swan. She is not particularly well-liked among the “spiritual community.” Can’t help that.
Neither am I, for that matter.
Her words have been haunting me, and for all of you in it for the long game, here they are.
Teal Swan, December 12, 2023:
Interviewer: What do you see is to come?
Teal: A zero sum game, on a level where we have to realize, as a result of that zero-sum game, that we can’t keep playing this way with each other. There has to be a profound realization within humanity that we can’t act against another’s best interests without screwing ourselves, genuinely.
Unfortunately, that means the destruction of the very things we depend on. So, we’re headed toward serious environmental disaster, we’re also headed toward war on a level we’ve never seen before. Before 2015, I was really voting for humanity to wake up before that “whack a tree at 70 miles an hour” moment.
I don’t see that any more in any life paths for humanity, which, of course, has led most of us that are on a path of consciousness in the direction of, “Well, what level of commitment do I share here? To Earth itself? To the human race? Knowing, essentially, that we’re in for such a mass wake up call. Especially if, “Well, I’ve already woken up to this. Why do I have to go through any of this?”
Those of us who are already on that path, awakening, will be used by this universe to pull people to the path of the awareness that they need to have through this experience. But each and every one of the people who are going to be in that position need to sign up for it.
Interviewer: Signing up is something we can assert but we’ll still feel a lot of resistance to actually doing.
Teal: Not if we sign up for it. That’s the thing. Like, if I was going to tell you right now that you’re a match to a world war on a level where you can’t know whether you are going to survive or whether anyone you know is going to survive—and it’s not just about survival, it’s about a lot of suffering. A lot of us don’t have an issue with death, we have an issue with pain, right?
You’ve got to reckon with your level of commitment. What is your level of commitment? And why? Why would it be better than just going somewhere else, right?
Once you have your reason, your reason why to be committed, that level of resistance like you're describing --is not going to be like it is. It’s not that you want to feel pain, but as we all know, when you have a profound sense of purpose, the pain doesn’t have as much of an impact as it would, otherwise, if we’re not really consciously saying yes to something.
But I would encourage people who are hearing these words that I’m saying right now, and who recognize themselves as on the spectrum of, “Wait. I am awake to this and I already see where we’re headed”, to really take some conscious time to answer that question, and not to be just like,
"I’m in because I know I should be in.”
You will be tested.
So, it’s best to really dive in to, “OK, what is the worst-case scenario? What would I want to be doing then? If this is going to happen, what gift do I feel that I specifically have to offer? Why is that maybe more important than my own personal sense of well-being? ….
Humanity’s not going to be getting to the place of utopia without hitting a tree.
I think we all know that. We all know that.
There are some of us who are like, “No, no, no, no, I want to escape from negative feelings with this sort of positive overlay of….no, all of us can wake up really fast.: I’m like, “Really?” “Go spend a moment there in Compton.” (very rough south Los Angeles suburb.)
(Interviewer essentially says, we need to organize.)
Teal: Yes, but the question is, to what? When I see people standing up and, say, creating the New Earth, that will be capitalized on by those people who still want the old system. There’s nothing preventing them from walking straight out on your property and taking it by force.
If we have, say, a whole group of people who go off the grid and start creating the New Earth, I am like, “Great. I hope you hid your plans somewhere”, because, guess who’s going to be the next target? I mean, this is going to get really, really, really bad.
So, I do feel like we have to organize, but those of us who are in this conscious community often don’t even know what we have to offer yet, so how can we know that we are signing up, and what we are signing up for?
(My note here: I don’t know what she means by this next, following statement. I have been thinking about it. Comments appreciated.)
Also, there will be a division, in this time period, between the people who are really meant to build that society that is going to come after this one, and those people who are meant to, essentially, be in the trenches with the people who are waking up from this old regime.
(Some back and forth. Teal says none of this is a surprise to any of us. We all knew this when we came in.)
It’s very easy to go down a trash can with all this information, yeah?
A lot of the entities that are coming through mediums foresaw all of what we’re about to go into and noticed that when they were teaching people about what’s to come, the majority of people were not actually able to focus on creating what they wanted instead (of that reality). Most of them just focused on the negative that was going to happen, and actually brought it about faster.
So. I think a lot of us, as we’re truly aware of these things that are to come, we struggle between telling people the truth, because there are those of us who believe that if you see the truth you can act on the truth, and by doing so you’re much more on your axis of actual power—and other people are like, “No, no, no, no, let’s not tell them where they’re going, let’s have them focus on what they’re wanting, and try to go in the direction of what they’re wanting, so they don’t bring this whole thing about just by virtue of panicking about it.”
Thinking deeply.
Much love,
Haru

Here is the original video. Quoted remarks begin at 1:07:05. (The rest of the video is good for counselors, I suppose, but seems superficial by comparison, I think. )
Not from or in the US, so surprised to hear you say that you’re not “well-liked among the ‘spiritual community’.” Can’t help but wonder what is this community you’re talking about. I’d never heard of Teal Swan either. I come from the holistic health world, so it was great to see so many conventional medical doctors waking up to the truth post-covid especially. It was through my own interests at the start of covid that led me to various substacks and X accounts from which I learned about so many other things going on which I wouldn’t have known otherwise.
Sometimes I think it occupies too much of my mind. I know so many people who don’t have a clue about many of these things. The kind of ups and downs we experience at a global level have always been there throughout history, and to varying degrees. The difference now is that communication is so speeded up that it takes on a new intensity. But I often wonder – do we have to take on that intensity?
Very true. One has to recognize that most of the "resources" are not renewable. Some can be, like soil, but it takes a long time. Sunlight, air, and water will always be there, as long as we don't pollute too much. But metals, plastic, etc., will eventually be consumed. Then the world has to operate as a zero-sum game because there isn't enough food. There is always a place for me to stand but only in the desert. To avoid the pressure of the zero-sum game, humans as a whole must consume much less than what we are using now. Empires have to invade other countries to loot and exploit such that citizens of the empires can live a good life at an affordable cost. If there is only peace on earth, then most of us have to toil all day to get some minimal comfort. Instead of peaceful cooperation and coexistence, there will always be someone who chooses to loot. The looters may be beaten for a day, but THEY WILL BE BACK.
