INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Yesterday there was a moderate level Geostorm (G2). The planetary K index (Kp) was 6.33. Per Space Weather … https://spaceweather.com … the Geostorm was caused by a ‘reverse shock’ as two CMEs one after another passed by Earth.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, during the Geostorm, I witnessed great gusts of misqualified telepathic energy slamming through the local noosphere. It seemed as if everyone on the block was having the nightmare of their life.

YESTERDAY’S GEOSTORM SPAWNED VIVID WAKING DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES

As I lay down to sleep I had an interesting telepathic experience … a vivid waking dream (an Ascension symptom) about violence in Los Angeles. It seemed quite harrowing, but not quite real. For quite some while I transformed these Dark imaginings with this or that technique that we Lightworkers have learned over the years … meditation, chanting, prayer, and so on.

Then I thought I would check outside and make sure nothing violent was going on in real live on my street. The moment I opened the front door I heard a dog barking and barking. The sound of the dog’s voice carried a different vivid waking dream about some children on my street. The dog and the children seemed to be having an awful nightmare together.

Then I heard yet another just awful vivid waking dream from far away. The nature of the imagery in the dream expressed primal fear.

I can remember 11 years ago when these types of vivid waking dreams really got to me, arousing primal fear. I used to flee away, hoping that the dreams would be absent in a different location. I soon found, though, that the cause of the dreams is not geography but my own negative emotions, and so the solution to the dreams is to transform our negative emotions to positive emotions … which is what I was doing last night.

Nevertheless it was a grueling afternoon and evening for me, and likely for other folks as well.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX DURING THE ASCENSION PROCESS

One of the things that came to me while listening to the ‘streets of Los Angeles’ violent dreams was the importance, during the Ascension process, of thinking outside the box.

Why is that important? Because the Ascension process is bringing each of us ‘outside the box’ … past our fears of violence and death, and into a realm of love, Light, joy and peace.

Many of my readers may say: But that kind of place is not real! There is no place like that on Earth! Violence and death are a part of life. And that is the way many people feel. Yet if we cannot envision life in a realm of love, Light, joy and peace … life in the Fifth Dimension … then we will never get to that place.

Now is the time to step outside the box. Now is the time to step into the Fifth Dimension.

The ‘box’ of which I am speaking today is, for example, a vivid waking dream in which you feel yourself to be trapped. It seems all too real. How am I going to summon the courage to open the front door and see if there really is violence going on on the street outside?

So then, for those of us who experienced yesterday’s misqualified noospheric energies, the notion of thinking outside the box is quite pertinent.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX?

This morning, when I woke up, I thought: But how can we Ascending peoples of Earth learn how to step outside the box? So I did some online research. Here are the videos I watched, which you might want to take a peek at too …

HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY LIFE BY THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX?

For those of you who prefer reading to viewing, Google AI and I have put together a crash course on the topic of thinking outside the box …

I asked Google AI: How can I improve my life by thinking outside the box?

Google AI said: “To improve your life by thinking outside the box, focus on challenging assumptions, seeking diverse perspectives, embracing creative problem-solving, and actively pursuing new experiences. This approach can lead to personal growth, innovative solutions, and a more fulfilling life.

Here are practical strategies organized by life area:

Personal Development & Routine

• Rethink Your Routine: Instead of following the traditional 9-to-5 structure, experiment with a bimodal schedule e.g., working early morning and late evening with a significant break in the middle) if your job allows, or front-load your most difficult tasks when you have the most energy.
• Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Identify a deeply held belief about yourself (e.g., ‘I’m not creative enough’) and actively seek evidence that disproves it. Acknowledge that many self-imposed limits are simply untested assumptions.
• Embrace Discomfort: Intentionally try activities that make you slightly uncomfortable—like striking up a conversation with a stranger or trying a new, intimidating hobby. This builds resilience and expands your comfort zone, enabling you to tackle bigger challenges later.

Career & Finances

• Seek Unconventional Solutions: Instead of assuming a linear career path is the only way to advance, consider a portfolio career that combines multiple part-time roles or freelance gigs. This diversifies your skills and income streams.
• Negotiate Creatively: Rather than just asking for a higher salary, think outside the box during negotiations. Propose alternative benefits that might be more feasible for your employer, such as a flexible work schedule, professional development budget, or a one-time project bonus.
• Redefine ‘Success’: Move away from societal definitions of success (e.g., wealth, title) and define what success means to you personally. This could focus on impact, work-life balance, or learning specific skills, which can significantly alter your life choices for the better.

Relationships & Community

• Diversify Your Network: Step outside your usual social circle. Engage with people from different generations, cultures, or professional backgrounds. Diverse perspectives challenge your own biases and offer new ways of viewing the world.
• Communicate Innovatively: If a conflict is persistent, abandon usual communication methods (e.g., arguing back and forth). Try writing a structured letter to express feelings clearly or bringing in a neutral mediator.
• Shift Your Focus to Contribution: Rather than constantly thinking about what you can get from relationships, focus on what you can give. This outward mindset often deepens connections and brings unexpected fulfillment.

By consistently applying these principles, you train your mind to look beyond obvious answers, leading to genuine transformation in how you live and interact with the world.”

. . . . . . . . . .

WHAT IS DIVERGENT THINKING?

In the videos referenced above I came across some new terms and asked Google AI about them. ‘Divergent thinking’ is one such term. Apparently we must learn to think divergently in order to escape our social mental filters. It occurred to me that the ability to think divergently is what causes a person to ‘individuate’. Individualization is a concept touted by great psychiatrists of the past as the highest level of Awareness a person can attain … what might be thought of as a state of enlightenment or, in Lightworker terms, Ascension.

That is to say, through divergent thinking, through individualization, we can attain what I call the 10th subtle body. For more on this see my blog category: 10 – Monad (Awareness – Eternal Now) ..

Pursuant to this enticing end, I asked Google AI: What is divergent thinking?

Google AI said: “Divergent thinking is a non-linear, creative problem-solving method that generates many unique ideas by exploring all possibilities, making unusual connections, and thinking outside the box, focusing on quantity and variety over a single right answer, unlike convergent thinking which narrows down to one solution. Introduced by psychologist J.P. Guilford, it involves fluency (many ideas), flexibility (different categories), originality (unique ideas), and elaboration (details). 

Key characteristics

• Open-ended: Asks ‘Why not?’ rather than ‘Why?’
• Exploratory: Generates many potential solutions, often wild or unconventional.
• Flexible: Sees problems from multiple perspectives and links disparate concepts.
• Innovative: Fosters fresh, original ideas and breakthroughs.

How it works with convergent thinking

• Divergent thinking is the brainstorming, idea-generating phase, while convergent thinking is the analytical phase that evaluates and selects the best option.
• They work best together: Divergence creates a wide pool of ideas, and convergence refines them into a single, feasible solution.

Examples in practice

• Arts: A writer uses it to develop unique metaphors or plots.
• Business: A team brainstorms all possible new product features, no matter how silly.
• Science: A researcher forms multiple hypotheses before testing.

Why it’s important

• It builds creativity, adaptability, and innovation.
• It helps overcome fixed thinking and challenges assumptions.
• It’s a crucial skill for navigating complex problems and finding new paths.”

. . . . . . . . . .

WHAT IS CREATIVE THINKING?

The larger concept appears to be ‘creative thinking’. ‘Divergent thinking’ is one of the ways of thinking that characterize what is termed ‘creative thinking’.

So I asked Google AI:What is creative thinking?

Google AI said: “Creative thinking is the ability to approach problems from new perspectives, generating novel, innovative, and useful ideas by connecting existing concepts in unique ways, moving beyond conventional limits to find original solutions and possibilities. It involves open-mindedness, curiosity, and a willingness to explore different viewpoints, combining divergent thinking (generating many ideas) with convergent thinking (refining them) for effective problem-solving in any field, not just the arts.

Key Aspects of Creative Thinking:

• Divergent Thinking: Brainstorming many possible solutions (fluency, flexibility, originality).
• Convergent Thinking: Logically narrowing down options to find the best fit.
• Open-Mindedness: Considering diverse ideas and unconventional approaches.
• Innovation: Creating new relationships between existing elements to produce something new.
• Problem-Solving: Finding unique and effective solutions to challenges.

Examples in Action:

• Business: Developing a new marketing strategy or improving a product.
• Science: Formulating new theories or designing unique experiments.
• Everyday Life: Finding an unconventional fix for a household problem or reimagining a routine. 

How it’s Developed:

• Techniques: Brainstorming, mind-mapping, role-playing, and asking ‘what if’ questions.
• Mindset: Cultivating curiosity, embracing complexity, and enjoying exploration.”

. . . . . . . . . .

WHAT IS LONG THINKING?

Here is another intriguing term I came across: ‘long thinking’. Lightworkers have an interest in long thinking, as our cosmological framework spans eons and not just decades.

So I asked Google AI: What is long thinking?

Google AI said: “Long-term thinking is a mindset that prioritizes future benefits and consequences over immediate gratification. It involves making strategic decisions in the present with the goal of achieving a larger payoff in the future, which could be years or even decades down the line. This approach requires patience, foresight, and the ability to persevere through uncertainty to reach distant goals.

Key aspects of long-term thinking

• Delayed gratification: Choosing to sacrifice short-term comfort or gain for greater future rewards.

• Strategic vision: Creating a clear picture of a future state and making today’s decisions with that vision in mind.

• Consequence awareness: Considering the future impact of present actions, both positive and negative. 

• Patience and resilience: Being willing to work through periods of uncertainty where results are not immediately visible.

• Proactive problem-solving: Anticipating future problems instead of simply reacting to them as they arise.

Examples in different contexts

• Personal finance: Saving for retirement or investing in education to ensure financial stability in the future.

• Business: Investing in innovation and research to stay relevant and competitive, rather than focusing only on quarterly earnings.

• Environment: Implementing sustainable practices today to protect the environment for future generations.

• Leadership: Making decisions that may not provide immediate benefits but are crucial for the organization’s long-term success, like investing in employee morale and development.”

HOW TO TURN FROM FEAR TO COURAGE IN A LIFE-OR-DEATH SITUATION

I had one more question to do with facing situations perceived as life-threatening and turning fear to courage. I asked this question because the vivid waking dreams that are a hallmark of Ascension raise primal fears and cause ego terror. That is not all bad, as they say that ego terror is what must be overcome to Ascend.

There we all were yesterday, facing ego terror and engaging in the Ascension process.

So I asked Google AI: How to turn from fear to courage in a life-or-death situation?

Google AI said: “To shift from fear to courage in a crisis, focus on immediate physiological calming (deep breaths), mental reframing (game plan, purpose), and action (even small steps) to break paralysis, leveraging training or inner resolve to act despite fear, understanding courage isn’t absence of fear but acting with it.

Immediate Actions (The ‘Freeze’ Response)

1. Breathe Deeply: Control heart rate with slow, deep breaths to calm the nervous system.
2. Focus on the Present: Ground yourself in the moment; fear often dwells on future ‘what-ifs’.
3. Acknowledge Fear: Don’t fight the feeling; accept it as a natural response, then pivot to action.
4. Find Your Purpose: Connect to your ‘why’—protecting others, surviving—to fuel action.

Mental Strategies (Reframing)

1. Create a Game Plan: Visualize steps, even simple ones, to regain a sense of control and reduce uncertainty.
2. Change Your Focus: Channel adrenaline into controlled anger (focus on rewards/action) or shift from ‘worst-case’ to ‘what-can-I-do’.
3. Build Inner Faith: Draw on self-belief or spiritual resources to trust your ability to handle the situation.
4. Visualize Success/Alternatives: Imagine the positive outcome of courageous action or the cost of inaction.

Action-Oriented Steps (Moving Through Fear)

1. Take Small Steps: Accomplish one tiny, manageable action to build momentum.
2. Face It Head-On (Gradually): Deliberately move towards the scary situation (in practice) to desensitize yourself.
3. Rehearse: Mentally (or physically) practice responses to feared scenarios to build competence. 

Key Mindset Shift

• Courage is NOT Fearlessness: It’s feeling the fear and acting anyway, using it as a signal to be alert, not to freeze. Your training (if any) and your core values become your guide.”
