This seemed particularly timely for me. Maybe it is for you too. I had two preferences for my next location and neither happened, much to my frustration. For various reasons, which I won't focus on, it didn't flow on world or off.
Instead I am smack in the middle of the expensive geographic area known as Austin Texas. I am not downtown but am central to nearly everywhere I go. I like Austin and I like the people in it. It has been described by Matthew McConaughey politically as "a blueberry in a bowl of tomato soup".
But I don't see it as left or right.
It's a bit of Southern California in the middle of Texas. It feels like San Diego and Orange County. And it's the best of that tradition, which is dying out under the rule California's corrupt elections. These people are coming here because they have no voice in California. But it's really the influence of tech minds and the people who create such things that makes it feel this way. Its their choice of foods, entertainment, housing and it shapes how things are here by its sheer economic power. It feels comfortable and familiar to me. But it is considered odd by many Texans.
Nobody escapes the culture they find themselves in the midst of, and while they may not be Texas natives, they are certainly becoming Tex-i-fied! I know I am! I carry a bit of every place I have lived within me, Scottsdale, San Diego, England, France, Morocco and Italy. So does everyone who lives here.
Still it's been a long battle and I just wanted out of here (meaning this planet). Tell me you never felt that way! You can't stop people from projecting their childhood wounds on you, but you can do your best to get out of their way, until such a time they love and heal themselves.

Lessons are incoming…
Universe is in charge of this Matterium.
This Matterium is your ass, and all that stuff that you sit your ass upon, and all the stuff that supports that stuff. All those ‘atoms’, all that ‘matter’.
We are matter, partially, here in this Matterium.
This Matterium is going through one of its Grand Shifts.
This shift is the movement out of Pieces into Aquarius.
These shifts involve Great Energy, Great Changes, and great opportunities for individual change that we call ‘personal growth’.
These Great Shifts of the Ages are filled with opportunities that only exist during these Times. Many souls seek to participate. Universe decides which are among the Fortunate Ones.
Note that it is ‘which’ that is applied to ‘souls’ as the individual soul is not self-aware, it is only aware of its tasks, thus is not a ‘who’ or ‘whom’.
You are a Fortunate One. It may not feel so fortunate here in the midst of a Great Change.
But remember, you asked to be here, now. In fact, you were desperate to be here, now, in the midst of all this.
Yes? Nod your head in agreement.
You wanted to be here, now, explicitly for this opportunity for Change, both writ Large as it affects all of Humanity, and our World, but also as it is writ small, but perhaps far more meaningful, at a truly personal level.
Universe has gifted you. Universe likes you, the proof of which is that you are here, now, swimming in this heady mix of the Forces of Change that occurs only every 2580 years!
Starting to grasp how Fortunate you are?
Change is difficult to achieve, in this Universe. Thus the existence of this Matterium is exactly as a vessel for Change. All changes occur at the personal level, becoming combined to create such Great Changes as we now experience. All Change, great and small, only comes into manifestation due to Opposition. Without the force of Opposition, there is no movement, at any level, within Matterium. Thus is revealed why, frequently, you think your life to be shit. It is because, in the action and chaos of personal change, you took your attention off the need for the opposition, thus took it ‘personally’.
These are the days of the Great Awakening. The Great Awakening requires Great Opposition. The normies are going to take both of these very personally indeed, and will not have any appreciation for what the fuck is happening to them. They will be annoying during this Shift.
It is always thus. Annoying normies. The ‘opposition’ that Universe provides between the Great Awakening, and the Great Reset intended to put the normie population back to sleep and under control yet again, may be very accurately labeled as a ‘war’. This is in spite of everyone, excepting a bare handful of humans, actually understanding what purpose ‘war’ serves, here in this Matterium.
That is the way it always is, for those of us awake on arrival. We are here to serve the annoying normies. It’s our work. Don’t ask about the ‘why’ of it all, but recognize that, as you are awake, you are a participant, therefore, a ‘warrior’ at some level, in this Great War of the Shift of Ages. Note that ‘samurai’ means ‘to serve’, and is a very accurate label for all of us, selected by Universe, to serve in this Great War.
The Great Awakening, at one level, is about normies graduating to some greater awareness. This is the ‘prize’ of this War. At other levels, and particularly pertinent to you, it is about the potential for personal change or growth. These opportunities, at these levels are rare, 2580 years apart rare.
Don’t worry, you are not wasting your opportunities. Proof of which is that you are reading these words.
This War will last a long time. During this War, you will have many roles. These roles will be offered to you within the Matterium. You will see the signs in your personal changes as you need to. Matterium works that part out for you.
You are one of the few, the Fortunate Ones, those who are swimming in the Currents of this Shift of Ages, not bobbing along as a cork (normie). Swimming means that you are taking personal responsibility by self-movement, self-direction.
Take heed, and care, of the normies you encounter in your splashing around in these Times. They are like you, only they need a few more lifetimes to get clued into how it works, down here in the Matterium.
As Above, so Below.
As it is Outward, thus it is Inward.
To see all of Universe,
I need only observe my own Nature.
To understand all that manifests,
I need only Touch the Void.
