Power Shifts. Timing is Everything | Dola

Power Shifts. Timing is Everything. ♟️🌎

1/
What if nearly every pillar of a nation had been quietly captured over decades?

Its money.
Its stories.
Its schools.
Its laws.
Its very sense of reality.

How would taking it back actually look?

Would it feel like a sudden revolution?
Or would it be so carefully executed that most people wouldn’t even realize it was happening at first?

Let’s continue. 🧵👇🏼

2/
Would the good guys arrest everyone at once?
Flip the lights on?
Announce the spell is broken and expect billions of programmed minds to calmly accept it?

Or would that be the fastest way to trigger global chaos?

3/
Most people underestimate one thing.

The human mind.

When belief systems are layered across generations, truth is not always received as relief.
It is often experienced as a threat.

4/
Imagine living your entire life in a dark room.

No windows.
No reference point.
No memory of light.

Now imagine being dragged outside into full sunlight.

You would not feel free.
You would feel overwhelmed.

5/
That is why wisdom does not shock.
It acclimates.

Light is introduced gradually so the eyes can adjust.
So the nervous system can settle.

Truth without timing becomes trauma.

6/
This is not something the average mind can grasp in a short talk or a single explanation.

We are not talking about learning new information.
We are talking about dismantling entire worldviews.

Remember, we don’t know what we don’t know.
And most people aren’t even conscious of the frameworks shaping what they believe is possible.

Generational beliefs.
Deeply embedded narratives.
The very boundaries of perceived reality.

7/
People complain that this is taking too long.

They forget the scale.

This is not a local cleanup.
This is a worldwide dismantling of entrenched systems of control.

That does not happen loudly.
It happens deliberately.

8/
Others argue that if something real were happening, we would be told everything.

That assumption ignores basic strategy.

All warfare is based on deception.

If you reveal your plan to your people, you reveal it to the enemy as well.

9/
This is why confusion has been a constant companion for years.

Confusion is not failure.
It is cover.

It buys time.
It fractures coordination.
It keeps hostile forces guessing.

10/
Now step back and look at the larger board.

Major geopolitical shifts.
Financial realignments.
Currency pressure.
Energy power struggles.
Old alliances weakening.

This is not random chaos.

11/
This is what controlled dismantling looks like.

The structure remains standing long enough for people inside to exit safely.
Only then does the old framework collapse.

Anything faster would risk collapse of society itself.

12/
The system that emerged over the last century was never what the founders intended.

Power was not meant to permanently reside in unelected institutions.
It was designed to flow upward from the people.

Delegated temporarily.
Never surrendered indefinitely.

13/
What we are witnessing is a return to that blueprint.

Not through grand announcements.
Not through dramatic headlines.

But through pressure.
Exposure.
And structural correction.

14/
The headlines are designed to distract.

The real story lives beneath them.

Ask different questions.
Who is panicking?
Who is overreacting?
Who suddenly seems desperate to control the narrative?

Those reactions reveal more than words ever could.

15/
Since the moment President Trump came down the escalator in 2015, the system has been under visible stress.

Not because he was meant to win.

But because his presence exposed something fragile.
A narrative that relied on obedience.
A structure that depended on silence, compliance, and the illusion of permanence.

Once that illusion cracked, it could never fully be restored.

16/
When this process is complete, our children inherit something different.

Not just a new system, but a new starting point.
A wider horizon.
Greater opportunity.
A world where curiosity is encouraged instead of managed.

HU-MAN

HU-MAN from ancient understandings of sound, vibration, and creation

HU is a sacred sound. It represents light, breath, and the original vibration that brings consciousness into form. It’s often used in chanting to reconnect with higher awareness.

MAN relates to manifestation. It speaks to form, structure, and the bringing of energy into matter.

Put together, HU-MAN can be understood as light made manifest in the body. Consciousness experiencing itself through physical form. You are not just a body with awareness, you are awareness expressing itself as a body.

This is why practices that work with breath, sound, and intention are so powerful. They help you remember what you already are.

✨🙌🏽💫


Notes to Readers:

HU is a specific category of species that exists across the Multiverse. The HU genome was seeded on worlds within the Nataru galaxy a long time ago, first in the MAN system, known as “Lyra” or Kepler 62 by our astronomers. Earth was seeded later by several root races, seeded by the Intergalactic Confederation and augmented by the DNA of galactic races like the Pleiadians who later visited our planet.

Originally, Earth was the site of an evolutionary experiment, one that would take millions of years to complete. This experiment was interfered with, unintentionally, by the Anakhim, some 372 thousand years ago when the Anakhim kashkal (expedition) arrived in the Sol system.

Other species found in the Multiverse include Reptilians and Grays, with some species being uniquely their own.

Through her book The Seeders, Elena Danaan has told us the history of the HU genome in our galaxy, in NATARU, our galactic mother. She has continued to share her knowledge about our long hidden history and starry origins through webinars and books.

You can find examples of the numerous species and races present in Nataru by reading her new series, Encyclopedia Galactica. Volumes I and II are now available. In these texts — available only in hardback — are paintings rendering the general appearance of numerous races and species, and a short explanation of their location, planet, star system and origin if known.

Earth humans are unique as we carry in our physical genome, 22 different races, not all HU. Some are of intergalactic origin. Others are of galactic origins, a blending of races with Earth humans when our world was colonized by visitors from many star systems, especially Sirius, Arcturus, the Pleiades, Andromeda, Tau Ceti, and the Centauri worlds.

Elena specifically wrote the Encyclopedia Galactica to assist star seeds, otherwise known as envoys, a glimpse at what their original star nation’s people look like. When you view these pages, you will find yourself resonating with some of the images more than others.

Elena has been granted access to the galactic libraries on board The Excelsior, the GFW mothership that is stationed in time dilation above Earth. Part of her mission is to help humanity understand their unique qualities, origins, and history.

I know I’m an old soul, most probably from the Intergalactic Confederation meaning my origins are not from Earth. I’ve lived and died on many worlds within this galaxy and will continue my mission to assist in freeing all worlds from the galactic tyranny that would have overcome Nataru and the Multiverse had not millions of volunteer envoys incarnated here on Terra. I responded to The Call long ago… and am now witnessing Earth break free from the control Matrix put into place by space invaders hundreds of thousands of years ago.

I am here out of Love. So is Elena and the many millions of Envoys who have been born here.

Hi, everyone. I’ve been having trouble downloading my photos onto my laptop, so I changed my memory card out. After some fooling around, I finally got the above photos to download. Success!

I took one of my classic walks, first to River to Sea Preserve and then Washington Oaks Gardens SP.

It was a very brisk and windy day. I wore 3 layers and managed to keep warm, but didn’t need to shed. We were having yet another cold front moving into north Florida this week. I don’t mind the chill. It’s actually refreshing for someone who has spent more time further north and in mountains.

The Camellias in the formal garden (Washington Oaks) were in bloom and I was able to walk through the rumpled rose garden and still find some reasonable blooms. We’ve had some frosts (believe it or not) and a bit of rain, so most of the blooms were a bit crumpled.

The two walks combined make up for about 3.5 miles estimated.

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Christ Within – The Resurrection of Consciousness | Maxpein

CHRIST WITHIN: The Resurrection of Consciousness

Christ Was Never Just a Man — It Was a State of Being

“Christ” was not meant to be worshipped as a single historical figure.

It was a metaphor for Christ Consciousness — an awakened state of divine awareness within the human vessel.

The story was written in code.

Christ = Consciousness anointed with light.

Not a savior outside of you — but a frequency you rise into.

The CRISTOS Oil

Ancient mystics spoke of a sacred substance called the CRISTOS oil — the anointing oil, the “oil of gladness,” the hidden manna.

This oil is produced within the body and rises up the spine — the true cross — reaching the brain, the holy of holies.

When the oil reaches the crown, consciousness is reborn.

This is the resurrection.

Milk & Honey

The scriptures say: “I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey.”

This was never geography.

  • • Milk symbolizes purified cerebrospinal fluid
  • • Honey symbolizes the golden oil — CRISTOS

Together they represent illumined life force ascending the spine.

This sacred cycle occurs approximately every 30 days, aligning with lunar rhythms — each cycle offering a chance at renewal, rebirth, remembrance.

The True Resurrection

Resurrection was never about a body leaving a tomb.

It was about:

  • • Raising consciousness
  • • Awakening dormant light
  • • Activating the divine within
  • • Dying to the lower self
  • • Rising as the Higher Mind

Each time the oil completes its journey, you are symbolically resurrected again.

Why This Was Hidden Because if humanity remembered this truth:

  • They wouldn’t wait to be saved.
  • They wouldn’t kneel to external authority.
  • They wouldn’t seek God outside themselves.
  • They would activate it within.
  • Christ was not someone to follow.
  • Christ was something to become.
  • And the kingdom? It was always within you.

And this is why the story was wrapped in parables, symbols, and allegory.

  • Because Christ Consciousness cannot be taught — it must be activated.
  • It cannot be handed down — it must be remembered.
  • It cannot be forced — it rises only when the vessel is prepared.

Every discipline, every fast, every prayer, every moment of inner stillness was never about obedience — it was about protecting the oil.

Guarding your thoughts.

  • Purifying your emotions.
  • Refining your body.
  • Silencing the noise long enough for the serpent to rise.

When the oil reaches the crown, the mind becomes luminous.

  • Time loosens.
  • Fear dissolves.
  • The illusion of separation collapses.

This is the moment the ancients called:

  • • Being anointed
  • • Seeing the Father
  • • Entering the Kingdom Not after death — but now.

This is why the crucifixion is followed by resurrection.

  • The ego must fall so the light may rise.
  • The lower mind must quiet so the Higher Mind can speak.

And when it does, you realize something that changes everything:

  • You were never waiting for Christ to return.
  • Christ was waiting for you to awaken.
  • The tomb was never stone.
  • The cross was never wood.
  • The resurrection was never once.

It is a living, breathing process —

  • repeating itself within you,
  • every cycle,
  • every ascent,
  • every remembering.

This group of photos is from three different walks. I visited Plantation Ruins SP last Sunday and then went to North Peninsula and another chunk of Bulow Woods today. The weather was pleasantly coolish. I encountered only two people with their dogs at No. Peninsula and no one on my walk in Bulow Woods on either day.

Central Florida’s oak, palm and hardwood forests don’t have the colorful autumn color found further north. Most of the color comes from the Pignut Hickories, Red Maples and Liquidambar (Sweet Gum) but most of these trees are so tall it’s hard to decipher who is who. The hickories do dump a lot of nuts this time of the year, keeping the local squirrels well-fed.

I hope everyone enjoys their Solstice and the days approaching Christmas.

In Joy,

Eliza Ayres

Blanket Flower

After four drizzly, foggy, and rainy days in a row, Thursday dawned with blue Florida skies, crystal clear and dazzling sunshine. It was time to visit my two favs off of A1A, the coastal highway. I started at River to Sea Preserve, a chunk of hammock and coastal scrub situated between the Matanzas River (Intracoastal) and the highway. The preserve is marked by a huge microwave tower that can be seen from Princess Place on the opposite side of the Intracoastal and Pellicer Creek. There are a couple of loops in this quiet pleasant little park. There wasn’t anyone else present. And I didn’t see any animals beyond some birds twitting around.

Next stop was Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. I hiked around the 2.1 mile nature trail which winds through hammock and coastal scrub, too. These two parks are just a couple of miles apart, north of Flagler Beach and Painter’s Hill.

In the formal gardens of Washington Oaks (it’s an old estate) there were Christmas decorations scattered throughout the garden paths and lawns. I guess there is a Santa present on the weekends for the children. It wasn’t quite set up yet.

Some roses were still blooming although they were a bit ragged. These are the best I found.

I enjoy visiting Washington Oaks when particular plants are blooming. The camellias will be next, then the azaleas in February and so on.

I hope you enjoyed this little newsbreak. A bit of green and blue skies for those who are hibernating through gloomy, snowy weather.

In Joy,

This man created the model for Consciousness used by the CIA but was later killed in the deadliest plane crash in American history.

Itzhak Bentov, the Czechoslovakia-born Israeli-American scientist and inventor, who became an innovator in the field of bio-medical engineering in the US, suggested that consciousness is the common uniting element of all creation, and that through this link all things are in permanent contact.

Bentov believed that our minds are not just in our heads, but are connected to everything around us and even to the universe. He thought that this connection is what makes us alive and aware. (Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the mechanics of consciousness, Itzhak Bentov, Wildwood House, 1978).

For a long time, scientists didn’t study consciousness because they didn’t understand it. But in the XX century they started to learn more about it. Now, many scientists are working to understand consciousness, and yet it’s still a mystery.

Think of consciousness like a big puzzle that we’re trying to solve. We know some of the pieces, but we don’t know how they all fit together yet. Bentov’s idea was an important piece of the puzzle, and scientists are still building on his work today.

~T edit: 7 of 10 plane crashes are targeted kills. Can you say [cia] Gateway Project?

What are the Gateway tapes?

A set of CIA declassified documents explaining how consciousness operates.

Here’s 5 key things you should know about it. 🧵

The tapes were released in the early 2000’s to establish a technique for accessing higher states of consciousness.

Here’s the 5 things I’m going to cover.

1 | Methods of accessing consciousness
2 | The Holographic Universe
3 | How does consciousness work
4 | The Gateway process
5 | Putting it into perspective

Knowing the secrets that these documents discuss, could change your life.

Let’s begin.

———————————————————
1 | Methods of accessing consciousness
———————————————————
The document begins by first investigating other methods of accessing consciousness to establish a foundation.

The three major techniques explored are:

➥ Hypnosis
➥ Biofeedback
➥ Transcendental meditation.

Each of these work by subduing the left brain, in order to gain access to the right.

Your left brain…
————
Is self-cognitive and it’s where logic and reason happens.

It works by categorizing, assessing and assigning meaning before sending messages to the right brain.

The right brain…
————
Is non-critical, holistic, and accepts what the left hemisphere passes, without question.

Accessing higher consciousness, is a process of access the right side of your brain.

When you can speak to the right brain, and bring the left into coherence with it.

You generate a very high amount of energy in what is called the third ventricle.

It’s the section directly in the center of the highlighted segments of the brain

.

To explain these three methods briefly…

HYPNOSIS
This distracts the left brain through boredom or reduction to a semi-sleep state through external stimuli like hypnotic suggestion.

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION
This method uses an intense, single minded concentration on the process of drawing energy up the spine which creates acoustic standing waves in the brain. These waves create the vibrations that allow the left and right brain to enter coherence with each other.

BIOFEEDBACK
This method uses is a bit different as it doesn’t ignore the left brain, it teaches it to access areas of the right. Instead of suppressing it, it teaches the left to recognize the feelings associated with successful right hemisphere access

Now that we know what must be achieved to access higher consciousness.

Let’s look at the holographic universe.

—————————————
2 | The Holographic Universe
—————————————
According to the CIA documents…

And eastern traditions, or quantum physics for that matter…

We live in a holographic universe.

Matter is not real, it is only a manifestation of energy vibrating at different speeds.

Meaning and matter is created in the universe from thought.

When your mind experiences a thought, it creates a hologram somewhere out there in the universe.

Eventually…

This hologram can be created in this 3D physical realm through higher states of consciousness.

What exists in this world is merely a matrix of the things we have given meaning to, with our collective thoughts.

How is the matter actually created?

The holographic universe creates matter through a torus field, which is the shape of a self contained spiral.

If you want to learn about toroidal fields and other cool things.

Definitely check out @CymaticJoule, she’s a beast with the wisdom.

Anyway…

This vortex energy is how matter comes into existence.

Springing out from the center point, the absolute.

If you look at pictures of galaxies, or a hurricane. You can get a decent visual of this mechanism in the process of creation.

The document also dives into time and space, which I spend too much time on..

But suffice it to say – neither of them exist.

They are merely parameters to create the limitations needed for this reality to exist.

If you couldn’t pin point a location in time, or space.

You’d be in the infinite…

So time and space are necessary to create a matrix…

Anything that has a beginning and an end, is bounded by time.

When it stops existing within that paradigm, it returns to the absolute, or God

———————————————
3 | How does consciousness work
———————————————
Now to interpret reality.

What your mind does, is work like a binary computer.

It decodes the greater complexities and simplifies everything into duality.

A simple go/no-go polarity. Like binary code.

Our whole reality is made up by making comparisons because what we perceive, is actually only the differences between two things.

Let me repeat.

What your brain does, to interpret something, is compare it.

It only perceives what differentiates.

What separates you, from me, for example.

And in states of higher consciousness…

Your right brain acts as the primary receiver of the holographic input and operates in coherence with it.

Your left brain is a secondary matrix layered on top of that. Where the 2D comparison happens.

Remember, everything is energy and vibration.

Which are created in waves.

So how this works is, the vibration goes back and forth.

Starting from source, bounces here to the material world, and back to source again.

The gateway process, hypnosis or any of the other techniques.

Bypassing the 2D matrix of this or that and access the absolute.

The point in-between.

The middle way.

———————————
4 | The Gateway process
———————————
Finally…

We can talk about the actual “Gateway process”.

It uses visualizations and auditory input to create coherence in your system.

Your success with this process will vary…

Based on how well you’re able to bring your body into coherence and how sensitive your nervous system is.

But put simply, what the process does is:

1 / Begins by teaching you to isolate yourself from your environment and silence your mind in a visualization device called an “energy conversion box”

2 / Next your are introduced into methods that aim to bring resonance in the body and mind through a single, monotonous humming sound.

This humming sets up a feeling of vibrations, felt particularly in the head. Which you are then supposed to hum along with.

3 / This is followed by affirmations which you are supposed to repeat along.

They affirm that there is more than merely a physical body and you deeply desire to expand your consciousness.

Keep in mind…

There is much much more to the process as there are several hours of tapes but this is the foundation of how the process begins.

They essentially prepare you by regulating the body.

➥ Subduing your left brain.
➥ Lowering your blood pressure
➥ Establishing resonance in your system to about 7.5 cycles per second

When you have achieved coherence with the gateway process, or any other.

You are able to harmonize your energy field with the surrounding environment.

This creates a powerful carrier wave…

To connect you with similarly tuned minds and the collective consciousness.

The document also covers…

Several techniques to practice manifesting higher though forms, and there are many!

Like remote viewing, patterning and problem solving.

I recommend reading them to practice yourself.

—————————————
5 | Putting it into perspective
—————————————
If we accept that the mind builds reality, and we live in a holographic universe.

What then?

What does that mean?

Well, it’s up to your own interpretation but a two things are obvious.

1 | EXPERIENCE LIFE
—————
Nothing from this material world goes with you when you die.

Not your money, your possessions or your achievements.

But..

The thing that does leave with you.

Is your memories… Your experiences.

The connections you make.

This is why it’s most important to live life in the way that you feel inspired.

It’s literally… literally… the only thing that matters when all is said and done.

Second…

2 | YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE REALITY
—————
Realize you are in control of your destiny.

It is you who creates your experiences.

You and only you.

So then it’s critical to become a co-creator and channel the lifestyle you desire.

Stop with the negative thoughts, victim mentality and the “I can’t” perspectives.

Stop giving them life.

Find better thought patterns to manifest which afford you a more enjoyable life, and start living it.

You decide what you give meaning to.

So focus on giving life, and meaning to the things you want to see more of.

Each person that becomes more connected with higher consciousness…

Helps create a healthier world down here.

So do your part.

I hope you found this summary helpful and if you want to dig into the gateway documents more…


Notes to Readers:

… and time is a field. Past, present, and future exist at the same moment.

The Soul is consciousness, as a fractal of Source Creator. The body is the vehicle for the Soul. The body and soul need to have a frequency match for the soul to attach to the body before birth. A reptilian soul cannot embody in a Hu – man body.

There’s a lot of stuff we weren’t taught in school…

Equestrian Trail – Princess Place Preserve

On Monday, I visited another portion of Princess Place Preserve, traveling on a broad loop from the parking area, on the Equestrian Trail and towards Styles Creek to the Pellicer Campground and return to the parking lot on the Equestrian Trail alongside the Preserve’s main road. I didn’t see anyone on the trails at all, just a few cars passed when I was closer to the main road. It was a windy morning. I did spot an Osprey who dove for a fish and then flew overhead with a fish in its talons.

A Glimpse of Pellicer Creek

The red berries in the foreground are Yaupon Holly. The bush with the white fuzzy flowers is Baccharis, Groundsel Tree and/or Sea Myrtle. It blooms in the cool weather when there are few other flowers.

Grand Matriarch

These magnificent pines are Long Leaf Pine, a Florida native. It is a lumber tree. The baby trees will probably be thinned out at some point.

Styles Creek

The photos below are from the Fairchild Oak State Park (southern end) of Bulow Woods. I probably did a 4.5 to 5 mile walk in very pleasant weather. I didn’t see anyone until on the last leg of the walk, about a mile from the parking lot. Then, there was a small crowd at the picnic tables on the lawn near the giant oak tree.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone…
