March 2021 – When Illusion Began to Fracture

I originally wrote this in March 2021. I’ve felt called to repost it now, as it feels even more relevant and visible than it did then. What once felt subtle has become unmistakably clear. This is something I’ve been witnessing for a long time, and I’m sharing it again in the hope that it lands where it’s meant. 

March 2021 – When Illusion Began to Fracture

Yesterday, I spoke about something that feels increasingly unavoidable. People are beginning to realise that they have unknowingly supported false narratives and followed paths that have caused real harm. Many are now seeing that what they chased promised fulfilment but delivered depletion. That realisation, however, is only the beginning.

For any genuine change to occur, hearts must open, habits must change, and attitudes must shift. Awareness alone is not enough. We have to stop being mesmerised by passing trends and start questioning the propaganda that has been packaged as “normal.” Much of what we have been conditioned to accept is not healthy or sustainable. These distractions keep us busy, compliant, and disconnected, while deeper issues remain unaddressed.

On Sunday, I felt this truth viscerally. The pain I experienced wasn’t personal; it was collective. I shared it because the current planetary pressures are pushing us to stop following empty trends, fashion, gimmicks, and attention-seeking behaviours that lead nowhere. We are witnessing the deterioration of our world, yet too few are grasping the magnitude of what is happening.

Excessive ego, relentless competition, and unchecked accumulation are bringing us to a breaking point. Everyone wants to be crowned a queen, an emperor, or a spiritual authority, yet far fewer are willing to care for those who are struggling. How can we speak of love while ignoring suffering? How can we justify endless consumption while people go hungry and homeless?

This is coming to a head. Conscience will be stirred when people fully realise their participation in sustaining a system that prioritises profit over humanity. Until we acknowledge our role in this, nothing will change. Ignorance is not bliss; it is collapse by avoidance. The Earth, and the most vulnerable among us, are paying the price.

I have seen the impact of greed and hoarding up close. Housing is a clear example. Properties are accumulated for profit while people sleep in cars or tents. Platforms like Airbnb expand portfolios while communities fracture. This is not about survival. It is about excess.

Everyone deserves a home. Yet housing prices have become completely disconnected from what most people can realistically earn, unless they have inheritance, family wealth, or financial backing. Quality of life has deteriorated rapidly for so many, and still, most would rather look away than confront this truth. Some believe meditation alone will resolve it. But spiritual bypassing does not undo systemic harm.

Buddha did not awaken in comfort. He awakened when he recognised that his protected life of wealth existed alongside immense suffering. That recognition shattered the illusion. We are standing in a similar moment now.

And yet, paradoxically, the same ideals persist. Status. Superiority. Being “on top.” Even within spiritual communities, the ego finds new costumes: guru identities, glorified past lives, claims of specialness. As long as this continues, we all lose. There will be no Earth left to support these fantasies if greed and destruction remain unchecked.

Some say, “I don’t watch the news” or “I don’t read the papers.” This is not enlightenment. It is avoidance. Turning away from reality does not make it disappear; it only shields us from responsibility.

This is a message spirit has pressed into me for years, and it has not been easy to witness or to clear these programs from my own system. Letting go of the need for attention and choosing integrity over image is uncomfortable work. Choosing heart over image. Walking the middle road, where light and dark are both acknowledged, not denied. This is not easy, but it is necessary.

Healing does not come from hiding. It comes from seeing imbalance clearly and being willing to change because of what we see.

That is the only way forward.

What we are experiencing now is a shift in consciousness. People are questioning narratives they once accepted without thought. They are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. This awakening is essential, but it is only meaningful if it translates into action, responsibility, and compassion.

Through my work, including my weekly astrology reports on Substack, my intention is not to offer answers but to support discernment.

Awakening is not about adopting another belief system. It is about becoming conscious enough to choose differently.

This is not the end of the conversation. It is the beginning.

With clarity and care,
