Lately, I’ve been noticing more and more “predictions” floating around—ones steeped in doom, fear, and finality. And here’s the problem: words aren’t just words. They carry weight and shape reality. So this is a not-so-gentle reminder: stop taking time to carefully craft thoughts into words shared in videos and written form to post across social media if you don’t actually want them to be part of your reality. There are countless ways to say and critique things without locking them in as the most likely outcome and whipping everyone into a frenzy.

That especially goes for those with intuitive gifts. We’re actively choosing which direction we’re going—individually and collectively—right now (and always). There may be undeniable cycles that affect humanity along the way, but outcomes and energy shift and change based on free will. Making “predictions” like, “This is your last chance to get out of the US. Run for it,” alongside dystopian visions of what’s supposedly coming years from now means you’ve already planted yourself firmly on the very timeline you claim neither you nor your followers want.

It says you don’t believe Americans are strong enough to do anything about our current political climate. It says you assume that if it comes down to it, we won’t be able to form community and work together, so why even try. It says it’s perfectly fine for the palm-colored people to flee (b/c that’s who’s mostly in a position to go) for their own comfort and safety, while rejecting the urgent need this country has for them to help reconcile centuries of oppression they’ve inflicted on everyone else. It says you don’t understand that the future isn’t written in stone and that our actions (especially together) can change the direction we’re coursing. It says you’re not paying attention to all the ways people are resisting and winning. And that you didn’t see the meeting of 800 military men and women making it clear this regime doesn’t have their support—something unwavering they need to complete their fascist takeover—in addition to popularity, and a strong economy, which they don’t have either.

Just as insights can be channeled through unconditional love and hope, they can also be channeled through trauma responses and fear, and one-sided equations. Find the middle. And where are your ethics? It’s psychic dev 101 where we learn that not every insight needs to be shared, especially when it causes more harm than good and feeds fear and hopelessness—what they want us to feel so we roll over, comply, and forget we have agency.

And to those who aren’t readers: this entire year has been about going within, strengthening your nervous system, cultivating your intuition and discernment and building community. Have you done the work—or are you still waiting for someone else to tell you what to think, feel and do? Find your center.

Yes, it’s ugly out there. We’re at similar points on the spiral that we were during the Revolutionary War, The Holocaust, and the Jim Crow Era. People are suffering and things are ramping up, flying at us from every direction, which will most likely continue for a while. That’s what happens when towers and empires fall, systems we’ve relied on are reduced to rubble and ash, and a handful of evil billionaires have a plan. But don’t get lost in that momentum.

There’s been a massive shift, multiple shifts in consciousness since the tactics they’re using actually resulted in a full fascist takeover that stuck (1930s-40s Germany, even if many modern day laws and systems are still oppressive.) So stand to the side and let it fall and fail, because fail it will. Help those who are being targeted directly protect themselves and fight back in creative ways. Realize that we’ve still got options like shutting down the economy through a general strike, filing exempt on taxes, and switching from commercial banks to credit unions, before it’s all said and done, so more corporations can’t buy up the country, and raise the prices just to sell it back to us.

More importantly, create momentum towards what you want to see for the collective instead: more self-reliant co-op living where every member owns a part of the land, more pick-your-own farms, universal healthcare, new social security numbers since Elon stole our data? Write it all down and starting living it out however you can. And choose your words wisely, because they have power that lead to action and lived experiences. Avra k’davra / abra kadabra = “I create as I speak.”
