Creating a More Beautiful World
A guide to repair and embodiment in the face of abusive leadership.
You can only heal the world as deeply as you have healed yourself.
It’s been approximately 10 years since my sense of reality was first shattered by overwhelming evidence that the events that took place in America on September 11th, 2001 were not what was advertised.
If this wasn’t your gateway to a new vision, then perhaps 2020 was your wakeup call—a series of global events so aggressive and blatant in their anti-life agenda, that although it seemed to coerce the world into hypnosis, it also shook thousands out of their trance.
Even after opening my eyes wider and wider to what was hiding right in front of me, I was blind to the tyranny that existed just as plainly in the “light.” I fell for an illusion of the New Paradigm1, and in doing so I learned a few things that my previous obsessions with conspiracy could never teach;
I learned how to heal.
When it comes to unlearning perceptions, fear-scrolling and info-bingeing are a common occurrence. We become rooted in a freeze state, unable to do anything about what we’re discovering—or catapulted into a panic state, frantically making decisions that don’t actually make any sense.
Ironically, the shadow figures we come to fear are usually symbols projected into our lived reality through a screen. They become elusive entities we believe to be plotting our slavery from behind closed doors; and that may be, but let me ask you—when was the last time Bill Gates showed up at your door and force-fed you GM corn? Or a nanotech inoculation?
Although incremental changes in the culture are happening all around us, the truth is, if you look back on your life, from let’s say 2010-2019, and deleted all the attention you gave to the media, all that invested emotional energy, how impacted would your life had actually been by these entities?
For a long time I lived enveloped by the frequencies of information and imagination, but my lived experience didn’t change too much—at least not enough to force me into an embodied shift.
Then, I made seismic decisions to move (flee)—first to Canada in reaction to the 2020 tyranny unfolding in NYC, then to North Carolina to be in community with women, another reaction out of my own lack of personal agency and to the 2020 tyranny unfolding in Montréal.
The experience of relocating such long distances with a young child, losing my sense of Self, allowing fear to posses my consciousness, being perceived as an anxious, incompetent Mother by a leading advocate of Matriarchy, having the back of an entire community turned on me, losing my homes, and collapsing into financial ruin was the initiation that taught me how to adapt and thrive in the face of abusive leadership.
It’s worth highlighting that microcosmic experiences of abuse (within cults, family dynamics, communities, etc.) are fractals of the macrocosmic abuses that take place on a global scale.
Through these experiences, which I can only describe as walking on hot coals in the dark of night, I’ve cultivating skills that I believe will become ever more valuable—and necessary—as we move forward in this time on Earth.
Contrary to what many New Agers believe, I don’t share the romanticized notion that the old systems will simply crumble away as the New Earth rises from its ashes into the 5th Dimension, never to experience suffering and duality again—never mind the next descending arc of the Daiva Yugas, but I digress!
Yes, the old paradigm will fall simply because it is not sustainable—a mirror of our current position in the ascending Dwapara Yuga of the Age of Virgo (Pisces)2—but that doesn’t mean the New Paradigm won’t require our effort, participation, and mastery. After all, when the empire collapses, will we not need leaders, farmers, healers, teachers, artists, builders, and many others, rooted and at the ready to take its place?
The following guide provides a working set of instructions that can be used to ease the transition from old to New; to repair from what has been done, before becoming active participants in what is yet to come.
It isn’t Truth by any means, but a humble suggestion; a collection of skills inspired by my personal evolution through the Hero’s Journey, and a roadmap-in-development as we discover and embody the New Earth3 together.
A Guide to New Earth Embodiment
Version 1.0. Written within the context of repairing and rebuilding after being deeply affected by abusive systems and leadership, both small and large.
Although these “steps” are outlined in numerical order, you may reshuffle them to suit your needs, and will likely find that they weave in and out of one another in waves and pulses.
1. Facilitating A Sense of Safety
It’s through my personal experience that I’ve become a deep advocate for facilitating one’s personal sense of safety in the world. The human mind becomes highly dysfunctional, and the body unable to heal, when we perceive ourselves to be in persistent danger. If you’ve been directly impacted by abusive relationships, oppression, tyranny, financial instability, homelessness, unhealthy family dynamics, etc., recalibration may be in order.
“Being traumatized means continuing to organize your life as if the trauma were still going on.” – Bressel Van Der Kolk, MD
This path is going to look different for everyone. Establishing a safe home environment and being financially stable were critical components in my journey back to safety. It was only then that I could reprogram my emotional condition and my nervous system to what was true, rather than allowing it to grip to illusions from the past.
If you don’t feel particularly effected by any traumas per se, I invite you to scan your emotional investments in current affairs, fear-based media, or even damaging and vampiric personal relationships and environments. How easily are you destabilized by these forces? Where do you need to recollect yourself?
By rooting into safety I was able to springboard into the following steps in ways that were simply impossible when I was constantly ping ponging between freezing up and spiraling out.
2. Healing the Physical Body
There’s a meme that often goes around saying essentially, “the world needs you as you are—don’t wait! Just ‘do it’”. Perhaps there’s nuance to it, perhaps it’s speaking to perfectionists. If not, let me provide a novel interpretation: The world doesn’t need you as you are, the world needs you whole.
Notice I’m not suggesting that you aren’t perfect as you are, nor meant to be exactly where are, and all those good things. I’m speaking within a specific context here.
My rocky transition from career powerhouse and alcoholic to motherhood was a tidal wave that didn’t hit me until it collided with the shockwaves of 2020-2022 described above. Driven by survival impulses, I tried to keep going as if my life wasn’t taking place—but beneath my dissociated behavior I was fried, depleted, exhausted, and overreactive, unable to sleep properly or digest food.
Do you think that woman prospered by continuing her entrepreneurship “as she was”? Do you think that woman felt embodied in the New Earth frequency “as she was”? Do you think that woman thrived in a position to lead, create, steward land and resources, or give birth to new life “as she was”? Fuck no—that women needed to lay the fuck down!
The New Earth is built through us and within us. It requires strength, resiliency, clarity, and other qualities which source their nutrients from the soil of the body. You cannot bypass your healing when the only thing your body has ever known is survival in a world acting in error.
I’ve since made myself the most important person in my life—yes, even more important than my child, who requires my wellbeing in order to thrive—and am focusing on the natural laws we must all dance with in order to facilitate healing.4 This has been a beautiful journey that is truly transforming me into the women the world needs me to be.
3. Making Meaning out of Trauma
Integration begins the moment you start to question what happened to you. It is quite literally, the "act of bringing together the parts of a whole."5 In many ways this process never ends, as we continue to mine the events of our life for meaning until our time of dying.
Like the previous steps, this an extremely personal evolution that no one else can facilitate for you, and requires perhaps, the most amount of courage.
“A journey without purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over it seems to make no sense.” — A Course in Miracles
Integration requires a willingness to feel (all that we need to), to understand (why we had this experience), and to forgive (everyone involved, including ourselves).
As you move through this process you’ll find familiar triggers begin to neutralize. There are fewer nightmares and fewer possessions by the spirit of victimhood. You’ll discover the profound meaning of your story and wouldn’t want it written any other way. Eventually, Peace and Love will find homes in your heart.
This is the freedom that awaits the weary traveler on the path of integration.
4. Rediscovering the Self
Victims of trauma usually come out on the other side of their experience stunned and fragmented. It is likely that in many ways they don’t fully remember who they are, especially when exiting from verbally abusive or manipulative relationships.
Growing up in a society that is still suffering from a version of the Dark Ages is enough in itself to nurture a fully grown adult who doesn’t feel truly connected to who they are!
Part of your healing is going to include the rediscovery of the Self. This is in essence, the most exalted expression the Soul came here to experience—including its Dharma, its purpose, its Divine Mission, and even the transmutations of its shadows, its Karma, and its evolution.
“The Self has been described by the enlightened throughout time as infinite, formless, changeless, all-present, unmanifest-and-manifest.”– David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD
Although it sounds lofty, this discovery begins wherever you are, with the smallest things that makes us whole. It begins with reestablishing your self-worth, aligning with your true values, and following the path of your calling.
5. Developing Emotional Mastery
To develop emotional mastery means to build one’s personal sense of intelligent awareness over their emotional, or feeling, body. It is the process of coming into energetic coherence through the proper utilization and release of all emotions, and the ability to take ownership of one’s own emotional condition.
“Joy and sorrow are the muscles that flex the wings of our spiritual heart… Positive emotions fortify us, while negative or disturbing emotions become the catalyst of repulsion to unlock stagnation from entrenched tendencies, which in turn, regenerate the fluidity essential for change.” – Mary Blue
It is here we emerge from the darkness and into the light—where deep tissue healing takes place, where manifestation (coevolution) finds its wellspring, and where consciousness expands and ripples outward in a beautiful cosmic dance.
Your safety, healing, and integration will all require a beginner’s dose of this step, but New Earth embodiment will require more. This is the bridge that takes you from the inner work to the outer world.
It’s my own personal observation and belief that the reason New Earth communities rank so highly in their apparent failures and dysfunctions is (partly) because people lack the emotional maturity necessary to contribute to co-operative spaces.
Emotional mastery unlocks the intelligence behind all sensations, the ability to experience them fully, and the willingness to release them from your field when their time has come.
This guide is but a fragment of the meaning I have made of my life. It is here to serve you.
I know that the steps are not necessarily How-Tos, but rather, introductions to what is possible. I will likely create expanded material on each one in order to be more directly helpful. Please reach out to me if you need support or further resources:
You are seen. You are heard. You are loved.

The Daiva Yugas (meaning “divine ages that join”, or “divine union” in Sanskrit) are approximately 24,000 year cycles based on the work of enlightened sage Manu, and further developed by Sri Yukteswar. Honoring the Vedic origins of Yukteswar’s work, I have sequestered the Western age to parenthesis (Pisces). This might shatter some “Age of Aquarius” fans, who won’t live to see this processional cycle when it begins in approximately 2500. Source: Lilith: Keepers of the Flame by Mary Blue
Briefly, my definition of New Earth encompasses the rise of the next “Golden Age” in humanity’s evolution as it coincides with the current ascending arc of the world cycles.
