This [weekly] audio dispatch is a new offering, but one that is a very, very long time in the making. It&#8217;s the next expression of my lifelong journey to reclaim and remember the ancient practice of accessing oracular pronouncements for the benefit of the whole. </p><p>The oracle is available. The oracle is here for us again. </p><p>The oracle is a guide in times of transition. </p><p>The oracle is in touch with the mystery on our behalf. </p><p>The oracle is incorruptible, but not perfect. </p><p>The oracle is a translator between realms. </p><p>The oracle is not a person, but an orientation.</p><p>In my early twenties, I found my calling as a trend spotter. Later, when the discipline matured, we were called futurists. I worked in the corporate world and predicted trends for brands. My skills were rare and highly valued. I earned a lot of money because I made a lot of money for the companies I worked for. I could tell them things about what was coming that changed their strategic planning, their R&amp;D, their whole orientation to the marketplace.</p><p>This was not something I was taught. When I started doing this, there were only a handful of us&#8212;we literally all knew each other, all women. We were pulling a practice through the ethers, we were figuring it out as we went. All I knew was that for the first time in my life, my composition&#8212;a way of feeling the world with all its weathers, tempers, vacillations, lurches, and desires through MY OWN BODY&#8212;made sense. I could tap into something invisible to most people and translate what I received into a currency, a communication, that revealed new directions.</p><p>I worked this way for a decade until I began to feel uneasy and then sick about how my gifts were being used. I went through a dark night of the soul as I realized I could no longer do what I loved and was valued for, because I was compromising a sacred duty. At that point, I left advertising and walked into the woods of my inner life to find my soul.</p><p>I don&#8217;t need to go into the heroine&#8217;s journey that departure from &#8220;normalcy&#8221; initiated for me. But for the purposes of introducing this project, I will say I&#8217;ve spent the last twenty years maturing, expanding, opening to higher and deeper realms and releasing blockages. It&#8217;s been a long road to becoming a vessel for the holy and clear oracular pronouncements I can now receive and share.</p><p>I notice there&#8217;s a pang when I recognize it&#8217;s been twenty years since I fully activated and exercised these gifts of prophecy. That seems like a long time. But the fact is, I wasn&#8217;t ready until now, and I don&#8217;t think the world was ready <em>until now for the full expression once again of this archetypal role.</em></p><p>There is no &#8220;long time&#8221; in divine timing, only right time.</p><p><strong>I also notice it feels vulnerable to make this offering. Oracularizing is inherently an unusual and intimate act. it requires me to strip naked&#8212;not literally, but physically, spiritually&#8212;so that I can approach the other side, dimensions where we don&#8217;t wear clothes, where communication is visceral and raw, where truth shimmers, where everything is very subtle. I have to get quiet, open, and become the most intimate, essential version of myself, which is to say empty AND receptive.</strong></p><p>This first audio file is just the beginning. You can think of it as a study for something I want to work at and refine over time. If you can refrain from judging it by the standards of our current performative paradigm, you will get more from it. If you can listen with your own intimate ears (maybe on headphones), you will get more out of it. The rhymes and pronouncements are meant to be slightly mysterious. The good ones continue to unfold and blossom into their full expression of meaning and import over time. </p><p><strong>I don&#8217;t really know where this practice will take me or us. My hope is that I can open a channel that will provide important information to all of those good people who are&#8212;with open hearts&#8212;building bridges to the new world.</strong> </p><p>When I was in Delphi in 2023, I sat in deep meditation on the rocks as close to the place where the Pythia made their pronouncements as I could get, and received a direct communication from Apollo. Here is part of the message he gave me then and my vision for what will come through this work over the course of this lifetime and beyond. This is my mission.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

I offer the gold (from my heart).
I fill your treasury.
I bow.
I kneel.
Without ego, I open to receive.

<em><strong>Response</strong></em>
Stop looking for the solution,
and hold out for the miracle.
It may already be in the field.
You just can't see it
with those eyes.

<em><strong>(1) The Sonia (Dream)</strong></em>
Who is that? <em>The Sonia.</em> 
She holds the song
that will heal humanity
when all this is done.

<em><strong>(2) Another Ring Stabilizes a Field (Tree &amp; Dream)</strong></em>
I met a tree with 800 rings,
800 years, or so men think.
But, the tree told me differently.
She doesn't see time that way.

Ideas, visions, subtle beings...
the heart hosts the arrival of things.
Gradually they descend to this sphere
until at last, they're fully here.

If a thing of beauty is to endure,
it must be supported from the core,
nurtured well and encouraged to be,
through every turning, through every ring.

What wisdom do these lines yield?
<em>Another ring stabilizes a field.</em>

<em><strong>(3) The Oracle Speaks About Singularity (Sybills, Angels)
</strong></em>There's a metallic taste in my mouth.
It's the taste of the times.

You fear the "implants"
but you already have them--
metallic taste in your mouth,
metallic pulse through your veins,
metallic waves through your mind-- 
you are already part machine.
This is not a threat. <em>It is.</em>
What would you do about it?
Recognize you are already a drone.

What is your heart in service to?
What does your heart entrain to?
The heart beats with The Mother (Earth)
or it entrains to the darkness.

Return to the beating heart
you heard in the womb of the mother
and what's mechanical will fall away.
Humans not in service to machines,
machines bend to the will of God
that runs through humans.

This is the path to organic machines.
This is the path to symbiosis,
or what you call Singularity.

<em><strong>Close.</strong></em>
