Disinformation spreading like wildfire and blown by the winds of change and corporate-controlled media makes it difficult to discern the truth. “Disinformation,” “fake news,” and “conspiracy theory” are words that have made me weary.
Approximately one year ago, on April 27, 2022, the Biden administration announced the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board, likened by some to the “Ministry of Truth” depicted in George Orwell’s novel 1984. The board came under fire for its scant details of a specific mission. Created by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alone makes it suspect. When twenty attorneys general threatened legal action, DHS immediately disbanded the board. The board was called “unconstitutional, illegal, and un-American” but also “Orwellian.”
Propaganda has a long history of being used to mislead and manipulate the public intentionally. Disinformation online can spread fast and far across networks anonymously, cheaply, and efficiently. The internet and social media platforms have become weaponized purposely to confuse, agitate, and create division. Our government is not going to save us from its deleterious effects. Drivers of division and polarization don’t care which side of the fence you are sitting on. The bigger question might be, to what and to whom are you listening? Who are you hanging around with and what do they have you doing?
The truth is that corporate-controlled media does not have our best interests at heart. Listening to inner guidance and being aware of resonant frequencies takes practice. But many of us feel disconnected from the Earth and ourselves. Dumbed down by the fear propaganda, which blocks our third eye, we are confused and have difficulty discerning or understanding the conditions that led to our current state of being. Discernment comes from the individual, not from powers that control a mainstream narrative to fit their agendas.
Stanford researchers at the Graduate School of Education found that many high school students are unable to evaluate the credibility of information they read on the internet. A finding they describe as “troubling.” Reliable information is as important to our health as proper sanitation and clean water. A polluted information stream imperils our mental health, dislodges our sense of belonging, and undermines our values.
So through what lens do we evaluate the credibility of information? I refer to the Wisdom of the Five Elements and the energetic model of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which views information differently than the Western reductionist view. Five Element Theory studies relationships and patterns and sees through a gestalt (feminine), not a reductionist (masculine) lens: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Fire Element in this model corresponds with the Heart and nervous system function. Fire is responsible for intracellular communication and collecting information primarily through the senses. Further distilling the essence of that information, Fire assimilates, interprets, and makes decisions about it. New messages sent out tell all parts of the body what needs to occur. Fire generates a response to bring things into harmony. Disinformation generated by political agendas damages the Heart and the Fire Element and creates disharmony.
The Heart’s job is to collect and interpret sensual and emotional experiences and imbue meaning. When the Fire Element is healthy, incoming information is reliable and accurate, and we can trust it. When in disharmony, the senses become distorted, and the ability to extract meaning from interactions becomes impaired. What we associate with mental illness in Western culture is an imbalance of the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine, aka shen disturbance or Heart-Mind disconnect with mind corresponding to spirit. Assigning meaning to sensual clues and the ability to understand intentions are determined by the Fire Element.
All language is a series of codes. It is the Fire Element that decodes and generates symbolic language. The ability to code my experience and communicate it and your ability to decode and give it meaning is under the realm of the Fire Element responsible for nervous system function. Our current use of social media damages the Fire Element and stresses our nervous system. The depletion of the cooling element of Water through a yang, over-heated, over-driven masculine dominated society further damages the Fire Element. To lose our ability to interpret symbolic language is to no longer discern fact from fiction. Our emerging youth will be the casualty.
It is only in darkness that we cannot see the truth. I know this personally from being kept in the dark about my adoption. The truth can be painful when it finally emerges. Discovering it required my taking action, undergoing multiple initiations, being willing to face it, accepting guidance and support, seeking counseling, doing personal growth work, and having a sober mind. I had to learn to listen to my heart and follow it. It is only in darkness that we follow fear.
When we empower the faces of darkness, we autonomize them and they no longer operate with human control or intervention, the same way we empowered Fauci in a Mechanistic model of medicine controlled by the pharmaceutical industry, for example. When we empower ourselves, however, with reliable information that comes in through a healthy Fire Element, we discern between life-supporting energy and destructive forces. Both are necessary in a world that is constantly being created and destroyed. As I write this, whole universes are being created and destroyed. Each choice we make is an empowerment point. Do we remain dependent or become independent? Do we have the power to make our own decisions?
To understand how our world works and to create new things, we have taken a masculine approach and broken it down into smaller and smaller fragments. But this reductionism has only made us more fragmented, like our government agencies and medical health care system has become fragmented. Often times one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing.
That may actually be a blessing leading us to the realization that mystics, saints, and yogis have always known: All matter exists in a unified field of consciousness from which we are not separate. This holographic field exists as much inside of us as we do in it. We are creator beings learning about our next level of creative abilities within a universe of possibility.
A shifting into our light bodies, and accessing the information that light carries, is necessary. Our light body resonates on a higher frequency than our temporal body creating a resonance phenomenon. The more we align with higher truths, the more we resonate with them. And the more we resonate with them, the more our soul awakens, and the more our soul awakens, the more we step into being our Higher Selves.
The more we learn how to communicate with the unseen worlds, the more we will strengthen our inner knowing and come to trust our own inner guidance system.

We are made from elements, made up of different kinds of atoms. And at the core of every atom is light. The elements created in the supernova explosion of dying stars are imbued with information. There is ancient knowledge encoded in these bits of stardust. Even the Five Elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal used in Chinese medicine describe something much older than what is presently understood. The great Hermetic Principle “as above, so below; as within, so without” rings with the universal truth that we are made of and governed by the stars.
We are electromagnetic water beings easily programmable through sound and light. Will we continue to allow the sound and light waves of external media sources broadcast through two-dimensional images on flat screens and compressed sound bytes to program us? We are either consciously or unconsciously being programmed and consciously or unconsciously programming our world. Will we choose to evolve consciousness and program and be programmed by the higher frequencies of divine love and light?
The human body vibrates at a specific frequency like a crystal, creating a resonance and emitting an electrical signal. Frequencies also help us keep track of time or transmit and receive radio signals. The electrical signals we transmit and receive are part of a grid system that creates a circuit around our crystalline structure. This crystalline structure is part of our Earth and our physical bodies. Raising our frequency through the cohering force of love raises the vibration of everything we are in relationship with.
The light bearer in the mineral world is the element of phosphorus, and deprived of light we get sick. Elemental phosphorus is a component of DNA and is essential for all living cells. The word phosphorus means “light-bearer.” Lucifer has the same meaning and is derived from the Latin lux, meaning “light,” and fer, meaning “bearing.” Lucifer refers to the Morning Star, or Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Lucifer and phosphorus literally mean “bearer of light.” That esoteric and alchemical knowledge was lost when the meaning behind the words became twisted to serve the religious and political power agendas that sought to retain control over the masses. We see the same twisting and control efforts playing out today.
The light of love illuminates all things, transforms all things, and brings us closer to a New Earth.

There is no deceiving the masses with disinformation when we know the truth of who we are as spiritualized matter. We are light beings existing in a physical body. The cry of “disinformation!” tells us something needs investigated. We can distill disinformation by extracting and condensing information we assign meaning to, then separating the truths from untruths, thus purifying the essence of a message. Darkness is necessary to bring things to light. It only keeps us from seeing the truth if we are yet asleep.
Help us to be the always hopeful
Gardeners of the spirit
Who know that without darkness
Nothing comes to birth
As without light
Nothing flowers
— May Sarton, from Wisdom of the Plant Devas
We would do well to align ourselves with the power of nature which has the power to heal and transform. Thinking allows us to perceive only ideas, while the intelligence of nature allows us to experience the entire universe. We are in times that have been prophesized by many. According to the Hopi prophecy, we are moving from the 4th world of separation into the 5th world of illumination. When the veil lifts, the truth is revealed. We must find the Heart to face it.
