APOCALYPSE!!
This Is Not a Post About the End of the World
“A time is coming when people will go mad, and when they meet someone who is not mad, they will turn to him and say, ‘You are out of your mind,’ just because he is not like them.”
-Sayings of the Desert Fathers, Anthony
The Aliens Are Coming?
Well, maybe, if I can ever finish the draft post I’m writing regarding the question of UFO’s and extraterrestrial life. I wanted to release it today but didn’t feel it was quite ready.
So instead I’m launching a series entitled Apocalypse!! that will cover many of the revelations of our current moment. The UFO piece will be released as a part of this series as soon as I feel it’s worthy of your time.
In the meantime I’ll just share a few quick things:
First, I’m not sure any of us trust official narratives of any kind these days as it’s increasingly apparent that there are very few leaders in the world who truly care about the people and their best interests.
Secondly, I think it’s interesting that these files are being released by the War Department rather than NASA or some other arm of the government. War is too big to fail in the United States and so I guess maybe we’ll be fighting angels next.
Third, I’ve been close to the UFO topic my entire life with both a deep personal interest and second-hand stories from people I’d trust with my life. I absolutely believe our Cosmos is filled with more life (carbon-based and otherwise) than we could possibly imagine. The mystics have had plenty to say about these intelligences and I’ll do my best to present this info in a future post in a manner that serves all.
In the meantime, we’ll get started on this series with a broader overview of what a time of apocalypse looks like…
All That’s Hidden Will Be Revealed
This is not a post about the end of the world.
That said, it does seem we’re in a time of apocalypse, a word meaning to reveal or to disclose.
Maybe I’ve ruined my social media algorithm but it’s quite wild to find myself in this current moment where my news feed has become a literal apocalypse machine. Here are a few revelations that seem to have a fairly strong likelihood of being true:
The marriage of defense contractors and capitalism 80 years ago has ensured we will never see peace in our world, as such a peace would result in declining profits, which is unacceptable within a capitalistic society disconnected from higher consciousness.
Materialist Science is being shown to be woefully incomplete. Topics like consciousness, psi research, and even advanced physics continue to upend the materialist paradigm.
The idea of justice is revealed as largely a farce as crimes against humanity, including children, seem to be ignored.
Those who run nation states have minimal interest in the wellbeing of their citizens; and those we think run nation states may have less control of those nation states than we think.
Most healthcare is actually disease care, and designed to maximize economics.
Archaeology revealing that the history taught in schools portraying humanity’s progress is likely upside down and we may be a species with amnesia.
We have at least 50 years of research demonstrating consciousness extends beyond death of the physical body.
We have six decades of research showing that reincarnation is likely real.
The AI wave is coming for nearly every aspect of our way of life and there’s no wise leadership preparing humanity to navigate it.
UFO’s, whether they’re from other star systems or other dimensions, seem increasingly likely to be real.
And, tens of thousands (if not more) of individuals who have all sorts of psychic and healing gifts are all singing the same message: these are special times and while darkness is being revealed at depths we may not have previously imagined, there is also a powerful Spirit of something else moving within the Earth.
I’m sure I missed a few.
My favorite game to play at social gatherings is to ask folks what’s the wildest conspiracy theory or alternative reality idea they believe is likely true. Try it yourself and you’ll be amazed what your otherwise normal friends reveal they believe about Reality.
This game is less about finding truth and more about understanding how our mental constructs of Reality are coming apart. For example just because your friend believes the earth is flat doesn’t mean it’s true.
One of my biggest questions at the moment is when will society reach our common knowledge moment where everyone knows that everyone knows that many of our foundational assumptions about our day-to-day reality are false.
One of My Favorite Questions
The opening line of the most popular article I’ve ever written was a simple question that’s led to a number of interesting conversations:
Which groups or subcultures are currently excited about our future?
It seems like there are a few extremely wealthy people who are excited about where things are headed.
But it also seems that most everyone else is actually quite concerned.
I know a few folks who believe we’re on the brink of a robot/AI paradise and all the politicians and billionaires who control the robots and AIs will suddenly become wise and charitable.
That’s a nice thought.
But I suspect things might turnout otherwise and I’m guessing many of you do too.
And yet despite the convergence of a long list of things to be concerned about many of the most spiritually connected folks I know are also quite excited about the future.
This series of posts will explore the idea of apocalypse, which despite our Hollywood associations is more about a revealing rather than disaster, although disaster always tends to bring certain revelations along with it.
It’s during apocalypse that we discover who we really are.
We find out who our friends are.
We understand what actually matters.
All That’s Meaningless Will Be Revealed
I sometimes joke that I’ve been waiting on the end of the world since I was a kid. What’s strange is many of the most mystically oriented folks I know say similar things.
And by end of the world I don’t mean meteors or nuclear weapons, but more of a shaking up to reveal what’s actually real.
What’s true.
An end of this world and all the illusions we’ve fallen for.
As a kid I recall feeling things in the world weren’t quite right. I had a sense that there was a lot of distraction going on from what really mattered.
Many kids can sense that family and relationships are more important than the stresses of jobs and money that strain those relationships.
Of course jobs and money are important, but more and more individuals are now recognizing that our entire society has been conditioned to play those games to the extreme. Maybe some of us have become better at recognizing it than our parents were, but maybe not. Perhaps we can at least see how we’ve played along, if not with our words than certainly with our actions.
I’ve failed many times to protect my own family from the stresses I’ve experienced over career and money and it used to be a source of great shame for me. But as I allowed myself some grace I came to the shocking realization that nearly every day of my adult life has felt like a competition.
Take a moment to pause and consider that last sentence.
Perhaps not everyone will agree, but it’s telling that each time I share this insight with others I sure get lots of nods.
In the U.S. competition is the air we breathe.
And it feels like it begins at a very young age.
Grades, siblings, sports, sex!, college, career, spouse, credit score, family?, neighborhood, follower count, babies, birthday parties, the kids’ schools, body fat percentage, sex, home value, hair, job title, weight, kids’ testing scores, fine lines, sex?, vacation spots, the kids’ college, 401k value, second home, retirement age, the kids’ careers, cholesterol levels, golf score, cognition, independence, legacy, funeral attendee count?
We never stop competing…
Our left hemisphere can’t stop measuring, can’t stop comparing.1
Even in my agnostic days I found little comfort with the many competition games available to play. I recall a phase around age 40 of detached scanning in search of the best ways to pass the years I had left. I ultimately chose health and money as my games to prioritize at the time, but even then those felt like compromises for something else I couldn’t quite find.
Many of you have come to the conclusion that little of the above actually matters.
Yeah, we want to feel safe and we want the best for our kids but even those desires are heavily distorted by the cultural stories we’ve been soaked in our entire lives.
The latest research2 is pretty clear that we’re all gonna die and come right back into the world we’ve left ourselves, and as far as I can tell I’m not too concerned with my bank statements or my social status of my previous lives.
Stand by Me
I’ve been on the hunt for truth, for the revealing, for a very long time.
I was recently thinking back to the song I chose for the “first dance” at our wedding reception 24 years ago and laughed out loud when I reviewed the lyrics:
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
It was only recently, nearly two and a half decades later, that I suddenly realized I’d chosen an apocalyptic song for our wedding dance.
Lol, WTF is wrong with me?
But in many way we have entered a time of darkness. A time where many of our trusted assumptions have tumbled and fallen. Our narratives and even our identities crumbling to the sea.
And if I wade into awkward territory there’s definitely a part of me that sometimes wonders maybe I’m hardwired to take a certain view on these things for a purpose?
As I said above, I know many who feel similar. There’s an aliveness coming online now that I’ve not felt at any other time in my life since maybe when I was a kid.
It’s sort of an ah, now we’re getting into what matters. Now we’re taking a break from all the distractions, we can see more and more clearly what’s really going on, what’s really at stake; and now we can begin working together, in relationship, to solve a big problem.
I can’t imagine anything more fulfilling.
What Have the Mystics Been Saying?
I believe mystic Chris Bache is one of our greatest mystical teachers alive today.
I say this because of his ability to see the big picture cosmology of all existence while also reminding us to zoom back down into daily life to care for one another. Chris carries tremendous complexity with the gift to explain it so clearly, and he does this outside of (but also inclusive of) the existing spiritual traditions.
I’ve been blessed to have time in Chris’s presence and my experience of him was a genuinely humble and compassionate human being, just as you’d hope from anyone bearing a message as weighty as his.
If you’ve read Chris’s book LSD and the Mind of the Universe you may recall he was shown a future where humanity will have to face a time of global crisis brought about by the consequences of decades of short sightedness.
And Chris is certainly not alone in his messaging.
The Telepathy Tapes podcast, a program that’s shifted the views of many who’ve allowed themselves to open up to the idea that the world is far more magical than we’ve been told, carries within it’s first season a subtle message that’s far bigger than even the revelation that mystical abilities like telepathy are real.
Two of Season One’s most powerful individuals each share that a time of reckoning is near.
In the final episode of the series a young woman named Lilly delivers an almost shocking message for the audience:
Be very mindful that we are about to go through a cataclysmic shift in the understanding of the fundamental nature of our relationship to the Universe and everything in it…
That feels like strong language.
And then there’s Asher, the young man who, with the help of his friend and former teacher, Jes Kerzen, reveals deep mystical insights and truths that are on par with many of history’s spiritual greats. Jes details in their book that Asher sees humanity on the verge of something big; something he and others refer to as The Shift that will change humanity forever.
I was fortunate enough to interview Jes and Asher last year and when I asked for more details they shared the following:
Asher says that The Shift has already started, and the crisis is well underway. Certain people have (at soul/greater Self level) taken on the role of speeding up the process and are stretching the existing system to the breaking point.
All those currently alive have elected to be on the planet at this specific time, in order to experience this change. Not everyone will experience it in the same way, though. Some will resist or even ignore it and, as your question implies, see whether they can keep living in the old ways. Others – Asher feels this will be the majority – will embrace the new ways of living. He likens human life at this time to being in a kind of escape room. We have purposely chosen to be shut into an uncomfortable, difficult world, with its emphasis on scientific, rational, non-magical, non-mystical living, surrounded by targets and trials, fears and separations, in order to test our own ingenuity at finding the way out.
Beyond Asher, Lilly, and Chris Bache there are a number of other mystics I know who feel strongly that status quo will not hold up much longer. In every meeting with these mystics I ask the same question: are these special times that we’re living in?
And same as above, every single one of them has replied with a resounding “yes.”
How Wild Might Things Get?
Now would be a good time to let you know that for all my enthusiasm surrounding this topic of apocalypse and “special times” I also carry a bit of an allergy to it based upon spending decades within traditional Christianity™ and their misread of scriptures.
I can still recall departing for Christmas break in 1988 as our middle school Bible teacher announced we’d never see one other again because the rapture, or return of Christ, would be happening prior to the New Year. By the way she communicated this message to us eight-graders I’m guessing she assumed most of us wouldn’t make it.
Many traditional Christians welcome their imagined version of apocalypse so they can escape the world. That’s not what this article is about. I believe the ultimate expression of Jesus’s teachings and any true spirituality is about anchoring even deeper into our bodies and our world. We’re here to bring Heaven into Earth, not escape it.
The point of exploring any of this should be to ask ourselves what if something crazy did happen in our community or our world? How are we prepared for it? Not in the MREs and bunkers fear-based sort of way, but at a spiritual level? At a community level?
What’s really important to us? What if our corporate identity is suddenly stripped away? What if our worldview is revealed to be incomplete? What if those numbers on the screen representing our net worth vanished? Do we know our neighbors if the power goes off for a month?
If we’re faced with a true crisis are we personally oriented towards competition or cooperation?3 In a time of crisis will we choose to serve one another or will we choose to serve ourselves?4
There’s a fairly big part of me that feels the worst thing we could possibly face is another decade or more of status quo, despite the inconvenience for some folks’ career plans and 401ks. Again, I probably don’t see these things as many do. I’m viewing it through the lens of our collective soul development, and those last eleven words will cause some of you to accuse me of being ungrounded or guilty of spiritual bypassing, but I disagree.
Because I understand this all too well on a personal level these days.
My Own Personal Apocalypse
In the early weeks of 2026 I experienced my own revealing. I seem to have entered a more difficult period of my own spiritual journey where not only was I gaining access to higher dimensions but I was also opening up to the collective unconscious and my own subconscious.
Pop spirituality loves to use words like “ascension” but there definitely comes a point where the path descends. I had a few folks during this time suggest I needed to think more positively and that I wasn’t manifesting joy appropriately. Those are hard words to hear when you can literally feel the heaviness curling around your arms and neck and the darkness filling you with the weight of dread.
I’m a well equipped guy surrounded by awesome people and still some days took me right up to the edge of my ability to manage it all.
Fortunately I have trusted friends who are further along the path who were able to help me see that this was simply the territory that awaits everyone who pursues these things long enough.
Some days I felt as if a part of me was dying, and that was probably true in some metaphorical or even metaphysical sense. Day by day the words of a friend haunted me:
“Never get into a sarcophagus unless you’re willing to die.”
I tried to stay busy through the pain, right or wrong, and the greatest relief I was able to find was through trauma release exercises (TRE) and allowing myself to cry, usually initiated by sharing with friends. Each emotional release seemed to shave off another mask I’d been wearing, not for others, but for myself.
One of the most painful aspects of the experience was I suddenly could see parts of myself I never knew existed. I’d done plenty of shadow work through the years and felt fairly confident I knew where my edges were. But I was wrong.
In speaking with my wisest friends and reviewing the spiritual literature I learned there comes a point where our subconscious opens to show us what we’ve been hiding from ourselves.
What I’d hidden, even from myself, was revealed to me in some very painful ways.
It felt like a personal apocalypse.
That was the shocking part; to see all the things I’d hidden from myself. Authenticity is among my highest values and as far as I know I’m honest with those who are in my life. But suddenly I could see all the ways I’d buried things even from myself.
And as a few of these layers of my identity were stripped away I was embarrassed to see what was underneath: the amount of my power that had come through association rather than from within; the envy I felt for those who seemed to be more Divinely held, or in greater Divine flow, than I felt; my inability to be happy for the success of others; a temptation to abandon the path altogether; a desire to be reabsorbed by the world and forget any of this stuff ever existed.
The shame I felt because of all this was some days nearly too much to bear.
Who was I to talk to anyone about spirituality, or even life in general, with my own elementary flaws? Who was I to write about any of this stuff when I couldn’t even see or sniff out my own garbage?
But now I could smell it and God it was awful.
My incredible wife reminded me this was all a part of the ongoing expansion process and to be gentle with all of the parts of me. And speaking of parts, there’s definitely a part of me that wonders if I should even be sharing about these things?
I know the answer is yes because talking about my experience has actually been even more powerful than TRE or crying. I’ve felt my best when I can share the trials of my own personal apocalypse with my wife and dear friends.
What was been revealed was that I am surrounded by people who love me and believe in me even when I felt I was at my lowest; at my weakest.
And this seems to be the power of apocalypse. The revealing of what matters when we pull back the veil.
The world I long inhabited came to an end to make way for something new and even though I often still feel uncertain it’s a continuing process in which I’m being shown that I’m held and loved in more ways than I could’ve ever imagined.
A Time of Revelation
This is not a post about the end of the world. This is not a post that should cause you any fear. This is a post about revealing.
As Jesus himself said:
“So do not be afraid, for all that is hidden will be revealed…”
- Gospel of Thomas v 5
What if we are in a time of revealing?
A time when all that’s been hidden will be revealed?
A time when all that’s bad will be revealed?
When all that’s good will be revealed?
When all that’s meaningless will be revealed?
A time when all that’s meaningful will be revealed?
I was once blessed to witness the underlying structures of Reality and what I saw was a Divine technology older than anything we could possibly imagine. And even in the parts of Reality that we might label as “the worst of it” everything was absolutely perfect, working towards the spiritual development of us all over countless lifetimes, individually and collectively.
What awaits us in the years ahead may be painful and may at times feel like a death as much of our existence that we’ve known contracts to reveal the birth of something new. This is not a post about the end of the world; it’s a reminder that we are strong enough to navigate whatever comes our way as long as we do it together, taking care of one another in every way we can.
So as we stand at the edge, our feet positioned between two worlds, we are reminded of the promise that there is nothing to fear regardless of what lies ahead. For we shall meet what comes together, hand in hand, with a hope, a perseverance, and a love that’s far beyond anything our old world could ever offer, explain, or understand.
Thy Kingdom Come. They Will Be Done. On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, with stars to fill my dream
I am a traveller of both time and space, to be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race the world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait; all will be revealed.

Is our kid in the 90th percentile for weight? For height? Will our son get into the right preschool? Is our daughter gifted? Are they going to Europe again? Did they put in a pool? He got a promotion? Will we do as well as our parents? Why do I hate everything in my closet? Lol.

Thank you for your courageous sharing Jeff. Your generosity of spirit is so supportive of my own shedding process in my quest to live authentically. Love to you.
