Here we are.

At the end of 2025... At the end of the year... At the end of many things, for all things must pass...

And in their passing, there is a revealing, and in this revealing there is revelation and renewal.

Okay - this was not how I intended to begin my end of year posting for 2025, yet this is the way it came out. Now I feel a responsibility (or an inner urge) to explain myself a little.

My sense is that many of us are feeling that something 'major' is coming to a close - is winding down, collapsing, breaking up, dissolving.

And this process reminds me of alchemy,

and the alchemical process of Solve et coagula...

According to a general sense of alchemy, solve et coagula is a foundational principle meaning,

dissolve and coagulate (congeal, thicken or regroup)...

This maxim or saying signifies that a substance must first be broken down into its fundamental components before it can be reformed into something new.

The initial process of 'solve' refers to,

the dissolution or breaking down of elements (often involving the conversion of a solid into a fluid state), which is also said to symbolize the separation of spirit from body/matter or the dissolution of ego.

Solve et coagula was known as far back as medieval alchemy to state that nothing new can be built before we make space, which is created by the breaking of the old state (and by 'state,' can be meant energetic as well as material, psychological, and psychic).

Let me put this another way:

energetic states go through periods of stability, flux, and realignment.

 

For this to occur, the incumbent state needs to be dissolved before a reassembly, or replacement, occurs.

 

Furthermore, energetic states are not only local (i.e., individualized) but also terrestrial, solar, and cosmic.

 

Greater change occurs when these cycles are aligned.

 

That is, when cosmic states are in shift that in turn affects solar, terrestrial and, finally, individualized states.

It is a hierarchy of cause and effect (even though such causes and their effects are more often than not non-linear).

In short,

it seems to me that the terrestrial world and our localized state - our individual sense of self - is being broken down and dissolved.

However, the coagula or coagulation (recombination/reassembly) is not guaranteed. Or at least, not for everything nor everyone.

The reassembly may come about from the combination of circumstances - or it may not.

In order to guarantee the reassembly comes about, the responsibility is upon each of us.

It's a personal thing.

 

And don't worry - you are not who you think you are anyway.

 

Neither am I.

Unless we are able to dissolve this false sense of our self, we will carry on, or fumble on, much as we were before, only that future circumstances won't be so kind to us. So, we need to be kind to ourselves.

What do you have to lose, except the false sense of your self?

It's not as if there is any sustained sense of reality anymore.

That's the actual state of the matter, I'm afraid:

Reality Is Gone...

Sorry to be the bearer of indistinct news, but reality has gone AWOL (Absent Without Leave).

And it doesn't seem like it will be coming back any time soon. In fact, reality has not only lost its map but also its plot.

What is 'Real' anymore?

 

How much of the information you receive online has 'truth' to it?

 

How much information is written or created by automated programs or bots?

The Dead Internet Theory is truly alive.

We are communicating with Narcissus's digital twin, glaring into an algorithmic mirror pool that reflects back to us through inorganic ripples.

The external world of prominent figures, personalities, celebrities, entertainment, industrial culture, and the fog of materialism is in freefall.

There's little to cling to except fragments.

 

And if you don't discard the residue and clingbait now, they'll be the possibility of losing it all.

That's right, I said clingbait - not 'clickbait.'

Clickbait is what pulls people out of themselves and into clicking links with sensational, emotive, and other misleading headlines.

 

Whereas clingbait is the reverse - it is the bait (the trap) that clings onto you and doesn't let its host go free.

 

It's the baggage we all carry around by being too engrossed in our own rented aspects (our personality, opinions, likes, dislikes, and all the other emotional boxes we have ticked).

We need to stop wanting attention; otherwise, too much of the wrong attention will cling to us like clever smelling bitumen.

You are not who you think you are, and neither am I...!

So much is going to dissolve around us in the coming year that glitches and anomalies will feel like the norm.

Lies Inc. will become the purveyors of the largest consumer commodities on the market.

 

Duped.com will become the most visited website.

 

And Crikey.org will have the largest number of new subscribers.

 

And, of course, itoldyouso.eu will be crashed by the biggest Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack.

But then again, I did tell you it was coming …

Reality used to be an experience based on right where you are sitting now. Then what we were sold as 'reality' got hijacked (see my 2021 book Hijacking Reality). Not that it ever was anything to do with our normal range of perceptions.

Recently, however, the bandwidth of potential perception has been further narrowed for the many and widened for the few. And some people fell down the crevice in the middle. Now that crevice has become a gulf. The gulf is rising whilst one side hardens and crystallizes, and the other side is dissolving.

Solve et coagula - things have to come apart in order to come together (to be a part of the new).

In other words,

we have to allow things to come apart in order to be a part of.

What we need now is patience and stability. And to take the time to build our stronger foundations.

These foundations are our grounding. We each are required to find those aspects of our lives that assist us in being grounded - not only in a physical sense but, perhaps more importantly, in psychological balance.

Those of us on the dissolving side need to build up the psyche, because the outer world wishes to take apart the human psyche. It's time to focus on the home strategy. In order to be able to find our home, we have to start coming home (however paradoxical that may sound).

Finding our Way Back Home will be a part of my path for the coming year(s). And, may I be allowed to add, in order to step forward we first need to step away.

I increased my stepping away in 2025, and I shall be continuing it in 2026.

It's not about stepping out.

 

Stepping away is an energetic movement: it's an act of frequency.

 

Above all, it's a state of resonance.

For me, it concerns being and home presence more than online presence and garnering attention.

This may be an odd thing to say for a guy that marks his path by writing, publishing (and attempting, albeit mildly, for people to read his work).

Yet that seems to be the way it is.

The more we push, the more we are receiving pushback.

The universe around us - our cosmic womb - seems to be in a heightened mode of sensitivity right now - doesn't it feel that way to you?

The more that people are shouting, the more the world is shaking. The heart of the world may be within each one of us, and yet our individual hearts remain longing.

For what? That's the answer each of us is required to solve and rebuild for one's self - Solve et coagula...

I feel it is time to make some vibrational shifting for the year to come, and to find a place for oneself that aligns with the process of dissolution and coagulation.

It's time to go Inwards. There is no outside anymore - it's dissolving.

I'll be here now - right where you find me. The question will be how you find me. And the greater question should be: how will I find you? For that is all about the greater dissolution.

I hope I'll be finding you well. Yet in order for that to be so, you first need to find out yourself where you are. And who you are.

You are not who you think you are, and neither am I.

And that's perfectly okay, if you know exactly what I mean.

I'll finish by sharing 3 points that came to my mind while writing this piece:

1. Be good - know that goodness is the essence of the human being

2. Trust in the Absolute, for the Absolute trusts in you

3. Know that you have meaning.

'We survive because

of the inherent goodness in us.

We shall survive because

we are the lotus flower blossoming

amidst the mud.

Such has been

the enduring conviction of my life.'
