Cracking Open: A Spiritual View on Government, Change, and Collective Evolution

What’s happening on the planet right now isn’t just political. It’s spiritual; and I don’t mean religious or even hierarchical.

It feels like everything is wobbling, cracking, or unraveling — because it is. But it’s not falling apart. It’s trying to hatch.

I’ve worked in the U.S. federal government. I’ve lived in DC. I’ve seen what people imagine is happening — and what’s actually going on. I’ve also seen, clairvoyantly, the energetic forces shaping it all.

This isn’t a theory. It’s an evolution. And it’s asking us — all of us — to choose between pretending we know what’s going on… and actually waking up to what’s real.

Here’s what I’ve noticed, what I’ve lived, and what I now understand.

What It Means to Be a Federal Employee
I worked at the IRS when 9/11 happened. I know firsthand the intensity of being a federal employee. Between internal pressure, external political power grabs, and public projection from both the right and the left, it takes a particular kind of commitment to stay.

The system is structured to serve the people — but constantly attacked by those who want it to serve them instead of us. And without civics education in schools, most of the public doesn’t understand how government works, so they fill in the blanks with disappointment and blame.

Federal employees carry all that. They’re tough. They’re mission-driven. And they stay for something bigger than themselves.

Living in DC and Seeing the Soul of Government
When I lived in DC more recently, I was struck by how many thousands of people are truly committed to the Constitution and what I’ll call FDR’s vision — government that serves the people, not corporations.

Even people I disagreed with deeply believed they were doing the right thing. Many ex-military professionals bring their devotion to hierarchy into civilian service. But that often means punishing independent thought, as if questioning authority is betrayal.

And then there’s the Hollywood ideal — characters like NCIS heroes, devoted to the mission, but operating outside the law. That normalization of vigilante government… it reflects something deeper and disturbing.

Seeing Energetically: What Obama Faced
When Obama was in office, I used to look clairvoyantly at the energy around him. What I saw was horrifying.

His family — Michelle, their children, and the Public — suspended above a pit of writhing snakes. A knife ready to sever the rope at any time. Surrounded by shadowy, hostile forces. That’s what he faced with every action he took.

And on top of that? Millions of racist threats every day. The pressure was constant. Unbelievable. And for someone like me, who sees energy years before others feel it — it was nerve-wracking.

The Planet Is Hatching
I kept asking: Why is all this happening? Why is it all going so wrong?

And I was shown the Earth — the big blue marble — moving like an egg being cracked from within. Wobbling, distorting, splitting open.

A chick must struggle to hatch. That’s how it builds the muscles to have the strength to survive outside the shell. Nature never lets the chick down — every stage is part of its preparation.

This is what we’re going through. The chaos isn’t failure. It’s birth.

The Lie of 'It Shouldn’t Be This Hard'
During times of personal or collective growth, we often think, 'It shouldn’t be this hard.'

That thought is resistance. It’s also a form of competition with the Universe, as if we know better than Nature.

But nothing manmade — no algorithm, AI, or institution — can ever know what Nature or the Universe knows. Every body knows this deep down. Even when we pretend otherwise.

It’s the resistance that is so hard and painful, not following the light of change.

Competing with Google, Losing Ourselves
We live in a world of impossible expectations: that you should know everything, instantly. That if you don’t move at the speed of Google, you’re failing.

This belief causes massive pressure and pain. It seeds a quiet schism — a cognitive dissonance — because deep down, we know it’s a lie.

Trying to reconcile with a lie will always cause pain. And that’s what many people are doing: choosing between their own knowing and the false narratives being pushed on them by systems that do not have their best interest in mind.

Your Knowing Is Sacred
Not everyone should be trusted with your energy. Your own best interest is too important to sub out to anyone else — no matter who they are.

There’s a big difference between a trusted friend and a corporation selling influence, harvesting your attention, and calling it 'connection.'

That’s why community is sacred. And why we need to take it back from systems that exploit it.

This Is the Spiritual Work of Our Time
We are in a huge collective spiritual evolution. The planet is raising its vibration. Consciousness is expanding. And each of us — the ants on the elephant — is being invited to grow, emotionally and spiritually.

Not because we’re broken. But because we’re outgrowing what no longer serves our flourishing.

Change is not the enemy. It’s the nature of life. And it’s been weaponized by profiteers who fear both vulnerability and real empowerment.

Everything Is Spiritual
There is no aspect of life that isn’t spiritual.

The physical world is animated by the energetic, the unseen, the felt. So much of what looks like 'craziness' right now — contradictions, double standards, injustices — is not just dysfunction. It’s trauma rising to the surface. Individually. Collectively.

Not for punishment. But for release. For healing.

How to Navigate the Cracking
Like with personal healing, things often get messier before they resolve. What’s been suppressed, judged, condemned, aka wrongly interpreted, is coming up to the light and human consciousness, for healing – clearing off the lies, and seeing the light in it, whereas integration naturally occurs, and any cognitive understanding follows later.

But there are forces want to keep us in fear, confusion, and disconnection. There are forces that want to dominate, control, and absolutely kill all life on Earth, including the planet.

So ground. Breathe. Reconnect with your Bright Spark — your highest knowing. The animating You.

The more we root into our real connection — not the stories or the systems — the more our body-personality can feel supported.

Do the things that only you can do.

There are things to do each day, that only can see and do. Do those things – anything that contributes more light to you, and by extension, to the world.

Only you can let that rude driver in at that moment; only you can donate this or that, only you can see that persons struggles, and offer anything from a smile to more involved assistance.

Your contribution doesn’t have to be seen by anyone. Life is not a TV show or vlog, no matter how it seems. Your contribution, your actions matter no matter who does or doesn’t see them, and no matter how they may be judged by anyone – including you.

The more you act towards something greater, in support of your own greatest good, that ripples out to benefit others, and the collective consciousness as whole.

You can take action, and trust the process.

As you grow, as the culture grows, as the Earth itself evolves — you are not alone. You are growing. You are becoming greater, as we all are. It’s humanities time to grow into the New consciousness, one person at a time.
