Reality isn’t as solid as we’ve been taught to believe. It’s not this fixed, external thing happening to us, but actually something fluid, moldable—shaped by the thoughts, emotions, and energies we all put into it.
Our world is not set in stone. It is a projection, a set of illusions, shifting and morphing based on the collective consciousness we feed. It’s not the other way around. And once you really let that sink in, it changes everything.
If our reality is a dream we are weaving together, then what are you bringing to the tapestry?
This isn’t about bypassing, about pretending suffering and struggle don’t exist. It’s about knowing we have the power to influence the current we’re all swimming in. The more we become aware of how our personal energy contributes to the whole, the more we can consciously shift it toward something that actually feels good to live in.
So let’s dive a bit deeper.
Interwoven Threads: The Individual and the Collective
Your Energy Is Not Just Yours
We move through life thinking our experiences are isolated. That is us verses the world. My thoughts are my thoughts, my emotions are mine. But the truth is, our energy doesn’t stay locked inside of us—it ripples outward, influencing everything it touches. And most of our thoughts—over 90% aren’t even ours to begin with, they are taught to us or picked up by our surroundings psychically.
Ever walk into a room where people have been arguing, and even though they’ve stopped, the air still feels heavy? Or walked into a store and got chills all over and didn’t know why? Or even contrarily, have you ever been around someone whose laughter is so contagious it lifts your whole mood? Or walked into a place you just felt drawn to for some reason? All of this is our shared collective energy.
What we carry inside ourselves doesn’t just stay with us. It bleeds into the spaces we move through, the people we interact with, and ultimately, the reality we co-create. People can feel when you’re in a bad mood, your intentions, etc. whether consciously or unconsciously.
And it goes both ways—just as your energy affects the whole, the collective consciousness shapes your experience too.
Ideas Move Through Us, Not From Us
Let’s talk about creation. The big stuff—technology, movements, culture-shifting ideas. We like to think of these things as individual achievements, but they’re really the work of something greater moving through many.
No one owns an idea. We as humans are vessels—receivers of inspiration that is ready to be made manifest in the world. The internet, space travel, artificial intelligence… they didn’t come from one person. They came through people.
And the same is true for spaces like MoN, for example. I may have founded it, but I was simply the vessel through which this Temple wanted to be born. This Temple does not belong to me any more than it belongs to you. It is a living, breathing entity shaped by the collective, by Spirit, by all of us who pour our energy into it.
So when we think about the world we are building, we have to ask—What are we letting move through us? What are we giving life to? Because whether we are aware of it or not, we are always contributing to the collective dream that we are all living in.
Collective Trauma and Collective Healing
The Weight We All Carry
Even if we don’t always see it, we feel it. The ripple of collective trauma, the heaviness of war, injustice, and suffering that isn’t ours personally, but somehow still sits in our bones.
This is because energy is not bound by distance or direct experience. When something massive happens—whether it’s a war on the other side of the world or a shift in societal norms—it doesn’t just affect those directly involved. It spills over into the collective field, shaping the undercurrents of how we all move through the world.
And the effects? They show up in ways we don’t always connect back. Higher levels of anxiety, division, distrust. More conflict, addiction, and disconnection. We don’t always see the thread linking these things together, but it’s there. And it can be connected by different concurrent impacts such as Ancestral trauma, as time doesn’t exist everything happens in this eternal now. Ancestral trauma wounds are being festered in the present.
Healing Moves Like That Too
Good news! This works in the opposite direction too. Just as trauma can spread, so can healing.
During Global Meditation Days for example, when people across the world meditate at the same time, and studies show a measurable drop in crime rates and violence. That’s no accident. That’s the power of collective intention.
This highlights my main point, and this is always my main point. Your work isn’t to change the world, it’s to change yourself because by doing that you change the world. The most radical thing we can do is tend to our own energy—because that alone shifts the field we are all connected to. If everyone did their work and took responsibility for their own festering wounds and prioritized their health, healing, and feelings of self-love and worthiness of that love. That is what radiates out into the collective.
The Synchrony of Human Awakening
History Repeats—But Not Randomly
Ever notice how big shifts in human history tend to happen everywhere at once? The Agricultural Revolution, the Axial Age (when Confucianism, Buddhism, and Greek philosophy all emerged independently), the Industrial Revolution—these weren’t isolated events. They were collective movements, like waves rolling across different shores at the same time.
And we are in the middle of another one now.
The rise of spirituality, the mass questioning of old systems, the movement toward deeper healing and ancestral wisdom—it’s all part of a larger shift in collective consciousness.
The reason so many of us are waking up, remembering, feeling called—is because something bigger than us is at work.
We are living in a time where the dream is shifting. The only question is, what role will you play in it?
The Ocean of Collective Energy
What Are You Adding to the Waters?
Think of the collective consciousness like an ocean (obviously I like this analogy). Every single one of us is a drop in that vast body of water. The quality of that ocean—the clarity or the murkiness—is the sum of what we all pour into it.
So ask yourself: What am I adding?
Are you adding fear? Scarcity? Division?
Or are you adding love? Compassion? Truth? Faith?
Because when enough of us shift, when enough of us hold higher frequencies, the whole ocean begins to change.
The Critical Mass Effect
There’s a tipping point. A moment where enough people hold a vibration of love, peace, and clarity that the collective shifts with it.
It’s not about forcing anyone else to change. It’s about each of us taking responsibility for our own energy.
Because in the end, reality is not something happening to us. It is something happening through us.
And if we don’t like the dream we are in?
We have the power to dream something new.
The main message here, if you’re willing to take it is that the world is not set in stone. You see the world only as you are not as it is in reality. We are constantly creating it, shaping it, influencing it with our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions. Just play with this idea. If we want a different reality, we don’t start by forcing change externally. We start by shifting the energy within ourselves—because that is what feeds the collective.
So, if this is all a dream, what are you contributing to the collective psyche? Better yet, what is a dream you’re brave enough to birth into being?
