Some years begin with a signal to stop. To listen in. Allow the (very loud) noise to settle. 2026 is one of those. 2021 and 2015 happened to be too.

As I've alluded, this calendar year begins with wholly different energetics. Do we exist in cycles? Do energetics shift? Yes. Are most aware of these contextual architectures? No. Does it matter? Not really. People don't know what they don't know. I craft accordingly because it makes intuitive sense and feels healthy.

Tidal Changes

The ignition point is here. It is not insignificant, as you can see.

At the start of 2021, AI was largely absent from the collective consciousness. We still dealt in stock photography and operated with a self-centered intelligence. Our spirits, meanwhile, had very much been triggered – depending, of course, on how you interpreted and engaged with the unusual phenomena of 2020 and 2021. Growth was catalysed, ready or not. Strangely, though, growth was catalysed by stopping – uncomfortably stopping. A mere five years ago, these were the energetics.

Fire horse energy has nothing to do with stillness. The waters of indulgent self-examination are finally receding. Purification, ignition, and blazing are moving in.

Hopefully, you've done the work.

The collective is hereby freed from the narrative that mundane ideas (technology, apps, frameworks, and festivals included) are "changing the world."

They are not.

The rose-colored lenses of illusory and delusional leader archetypes are being torn off. The arduous journey to self-actualisation will be difficult to circumvent. The fire horse will ground this shizzle deep in 3D reality-checking. As in “wake the F up,” fire horse style.

Cycles have long tails. We are only getting started.

Mastery

Mastery. Sounds like an end state, right? Some arrival point up ahead. Do these 9 things and voila! You're a Master.

Furthest thing from the truth.

Mastery is the sum total, plus the micro moments. The ongoing effort. The continuous shedding process. The losses. The gains. The remembering. The removal. The inching forward and finding new awarenesses. The catalytic blow ups. The new (or ancient?) knowing coming online.

Applied effort bringing life-changing gifts. The grief. The connection to creative intelligence. The release of programmed dependence. The reshaping of relevance. The confrontations with the truth – truths such as intelligence that will never be controlled by machine or man. The beautiful awakening that the pea-sized speck between your eyes, deep in your hippocampus, is desperately limited.

As householders, mastery is life unfolding.

Rational Thought

The particular issue with the Western World is that rational thought got itself a billboard several hundred years ago. Meanwhile, thousands of years of dismantling the essential feminine polarity meant connected, balanced, integrated intelligence regressed. Ego-only intelligence surged forward.

That billboard has been reproducing itself in our DNA for centuries now, landing us in the collective dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks state called the Gregorian year 2026.

The bottom is nowhere in sight, but holy good god... who, in their core, heart, and soul, wants to continue in programming, structures, and systems affiliated with this projected screen of sickness?

Rational thought matters. Sure. However, finding practices to remember and honor the spirit and precision of embodied knowing, connected intelligence, and somatic expression – with at least a sliver of decency thrown in – could not be more in your face. Might this finally be enough?

Can you allow yourself to brave the truth that deviating from this collectively corrosive pathway is where true leadership lies?

Incisiveness, honesty, sovereign voice, cohesive counterforce, logic, personal power, and fearless new societal bedrock – this will be the way. No program, no government, no financial institution, no societal structure, no therapist (although keep going), no religion, no sport, no identity declaration, no framework, and for the sake of my sanity, no trad HR department, manager, or life coach holds anyone's – or any system's – mastery.

Your spirits do.

Tap in.
Collect your fragments.
Move quickly.
Ride this next cycle, without negotiating your integrity.

Dark Material

Psyches are being terrorised, with intention, by the extent of dark material rising. What this means is: practice rigor. Do not practice bypassing or its-not-about-me-escapism.

Dark material's game is to trip switch your reptile (e.g., your hippocampus) into fear, flight, or F mode. Your reptile only knows one gear. It likes to conquer. It can easily deep fake you into a false belief that you can "control" its dark forces.

You cannot.

What you can do is practice light (not indifference) with continuous discipline.

Your rigor and discipline flip the table on the dark material because it cannot persist in your daylight. So, take good care of your auric field. Fortify its power so it kicks dark material's ass on the regular.

Weaving a fortified auric field is potent medicine. This type of rigor and discipline also serves to quiet that hippocampus of yours. This way, it too stops kicking your own ass.

Tell the kids.

Trauma

(Trigger warning)

Trauma is ego. It replays as a way of operating. And replays. And replays. The storylines. The narratives. The identities affixed to the storylines. To the narratives. The habits that water these storylines, narratives, and identities – re-blooming them in a loop. Much of it unconscious. Some of it, conscious.

The attachment to it all? That's the clown driver of the trauma car.

We aren't special – my apologies.
We come with ancestral trauma and then gather more of it in real time, like a rolling stone gathering moss.

The question is “when do you stop gathering and instead become a self-polishing stone?“

Identity

The terrorists (e.g. dark material players, some conveniently dressed up in leader suits) want you to believe that your identity is your wounding. This feeds on the aforementioned trauma claims. Your abiding by their script? It delights them.

Trauma blinds us all in one way or another. And the ones who believe they have no trauma? That is simply another version of the programming, and they always, eventually, get whacked.

Networks

Simply put, we're walking sacks of conscious and unconscious bumps and bruises. It is woven into our systems, and then we go about weaving it outward as a network effect, enabled by distorted system rules and expectations. The transcending work is not indulgence, but rather the discipline and rigor to spar with and get above it.

We all have to learn through direct experience, to see the forest through the trees, to evolve. Working from continually unfolding awareness, with awareness, is the business of fortifying. Learning to operate in freedom, not their shackles, is mastery in motion.

Being deliberate in your rebellion – this is warriorhood.

Books & Articles

Imbolc

Imbolc is the Celtic celebration midway between solstice and equinox. Myth connects Imbolc to Goddess (and then Saint) Brigid. It honors the returning light, spring stirrings, purification, new life. It's the metamorphosis.

We crossed her last week. She says –

compost your triggers
storylines
habits
traumas
identities
fixitiveness

Regenerate the decay.

The fire horse (or Brigid) doesn't want "to do it to you," but they will, if needed. They invite you to your command post, to ride with intention, build new cornerstones, and leave behind the limited, pea-sized front brain, egoic rationality, and its abusive patterns.

Into this next cycle, we trot.

Warriorhood Ways

Warriorhood and mastery are strength. Love, and its field, is the motherboard of that strength.

Rational thought (and those terrorists) eviscerate the breadth of intelligences that make us fully human. By design, it deprives us of a deeply embodied existence. The existence of presence. Fearless connection. Acting in conscious call and response, from up above, not down below.

Connectivity is, quite literally, a biological, evolutionary desire. Mutual sharing (e.g., dialog not directives) is what wires connectivity.

Network Ways

1. Get to know others.
2. Make yourself available for others to know you.
3. Share struggles.
4. Be adjacent to others' struggles.
5. Share yourself.
6. Make room for others to share themselves.
7. Show curiosity about others.
8. Be appreciative of others.
9. Try to understand first from empathy of the human condition before judgment.
10. Tame and redirect anger.
11. Become capable of resolving ruptures in friendships and relationships.
12. Be accepting more than critical.
13. Protect confidentiality and exercise discretion (don't talk smack behind people's backs).
14. Be consistent.
15. Be respectful.
16. Be protective (not obsessive).
17. Honor others' pursuits.
18. Respect boundaries.
19. Take care of yourself – become your own boundary so you can take care of others rightly.
20. Practice mutuality and reciprocity – don't make everything about you.

Distortions

Tainted connectedness and conceit make for unsafe features in systems. On teams. In relationships. As social structures.

Neuroscience shows that as little as 10 minutes a day can build and maintain connection. Life reveals that one-way, control-based, and power-over systems breed abuse. Neediness, insecurity, buried pain, or immaturity? They are kryptonite.

Connectedness, evolutionarily, is not a feature to fill your emptiness. Rather, it is a practice to see the other. Their humanity and their light. Without an agenda to get, take, harm, or dominate.

Other-centered, not self-centered.
In service, not in control.
From up above – in honesty and realism; not down there in the pits of ego and harm.

Through the Looking Glass

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that treats an ailment by using the ailment itself as medicine. You apply the wound as the medicine.

Life is a homeopathic experience. Everything we work toward, build, learn, and teach is a homeopathic practice.

We, the (divinely) wounded, become the medicine. We are mastery in motion. Continuously. Correctively. Consciously.

With the evolutionary point being this: to not be the source of further wounding.

The practice of motherboard love is the most powerful antidote to dominion. Or as Benito blasted to 135 million viewers last night, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

So that you don't bring a flower to a sword fight, be intent upon building an impenetrable auric field. Shed the trauma by committing to practices and disciplines that walk you continuously through a naturally confrontative life with less fear, to be in your mastery not your reptile, to lead a room – fortified in your warriorhood. Practice and teach the daily grapple of this.

Warriorhood is an integrated, not a fragmented, embodiment.

It is not a function of the eat-it-kill-it-or-fuck-it hippocampus.

If that image doesn't motivate change ...
You're welcome.

We ride at dawn.

You've got this. x
