The Lion’s Gate is Open.

A New Timeline Awaits.

Dear Starseed,

As you may know, the Lion’s Gate portal peaks on 8/8. Here at Feedback Loop Coaching, we’re embracing this cosmic event as an opportunity to split the hand we’ve been dealt, just like in blackjack when you’re holding two 8s. Rather than play it safe, navigating from what is known, you split the pair, opening the field to the unknown cards not yet in play, though doubling your chances. Choosing agency over resignation.

That’s how we’re playing the game this 8/8. Let’s split the timelines. One 8 represents the default. The conditioning. The Karma. The other 8 symbolizes infinite possibilities, resonance, and Dharma.

This is our moment to disrupt the default timeline by placing our bet on the Dreamer’s Future.

You may already be familiar with language around the 3D and 5D.
Maybe your social media algorithm has introduced you to posts describing Earth’s splitting.

Without dwelling too long on the quantum mechanics of multidimensionality, we believe this language can be demystified.

Let’s begin with the concept of Paradigm.

According to the Law of Being Self-Mastery program, a paradigm is:

What you think is possible based on what you currently believe.

So let’s ask:

What do we believe?
And what possibilities do we have the courage to entertain?

Most of what we believe has been spoonfed.

From a young age, our paradigm has been shaped not by organic curiosity or direct experience, but by conditioning. While no one alive today is personally responsible for designing this 5,000–10,000 year old paradigm, we all have the opportunity to hit the sacred pause button and evaluate the energetic imprints into which we were born, along with the patterns we’ve unconsciously perpetuated.

  • Through media, we’ve absorbed pre-scripted futures: dystopian, disconnected, and disempowered. Fear and outrage dominate our screens.

  • Through education, especially post-Industrial Revolution reforms backed by figures like John D. Rockefeller, we were taught to become efficient, obedient workers. Free thinkers were sent to detention. The modern school system was designed to serve an industrial economy, not personal sovereignty. We learned to follow bells, memorize facts, suppress intuition, and equate achievement with external validation. Creativity was optional. Compliance was rewarded. And when the “winners” of the wars write the textbooks, we must ask: what worldviews were excluded?

  • Through work and politics, we’ve inherited templates for success that often bypass wellbeing, intuition, and relational intelligence. We’ve accepted binary options as “choice.” The popularity contest that tormented us in Junior High plays out once again. Catabolic patterns dominate these fields.

  • Through money culture, we’ve been trained to see scarcity (Level 1 in Energy Leadership) as normal, and greed (Level 2) as survival. When we say, “There’s plenty of pie,” people look at us like we’re aliens. Such a foreign sentiment in our culture. “Money doesn’t grow on trees” feels way more familiar.

  • Through science, we’ve been conditioned to prize intellect over intuition, to dominate Nature, and to desecrate the sacred in the name of research and innovation.

  • Through spirituality, we’ve been taught to outsource power, placing more trust in external hierarchies than in the quiet knowing within.

And so, without realizing it, we’ve made unconscious agreements about what’s real, what’s safe, and what’s possible.

Screen shot from Segment 5 in the Law of Being.

*Per Wikipedia, The General Education Board was a private organization which was used primarily to support higher education and medical schools in the United States. The Board was created in 1902 after John D. Rockefeller donated an initial $1 million (equivalent to $36,342,300 in 2024) to its cause. The Rockefeller family would eventually give over $180 million to fund the General Education Board.

Generosity or control disguised as philanthropy? May our intuition discern the difference.

“The people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands,” sounds rather dystopian to me. And yet, the statement conjures familiar imagery. The timeline we’ve been shown on repeat:

Marching orders. War. Collapse. Surveillance. Fear. A surrender of autonomy and will power over to those who feel entitled to choose what’s best for humanity.

Why is this so familiar to us? ***Spoiler Alerts Ahead!***

Well, in the beloved movie, “The Matrix,” a simulated reality traps humanity in energetic slavery. Choice and truth become revolutionary acts. A red pill wakes you up and out of the paradigm, a blue pill allows you to remain blissfully unaware.

In “The Island,” clones unknowingly live in a fabricated “safe” society, awaiting selection for “The Island,” only to discover they’re harvested for the wealthy elite. Life is commodified. Safety is a lie.

In “The 100,” post-apocalyptic survivors are ruled by authoritarian control aboard a space station. Juveniles are sent to a devastated Earth to test its habitability, where scarcity and fear pit everyone against each other.

In “2001: A Space Odyssey,” human evolution collides with cold AI logic. HAL, the ship’s AI, determines humans are the problem. Emotion is erased in the name of efficiency.

In “The Hunger Games,” children are forced into state-sanctioned death matches to entertain the elite. Sacrifice becomes spectacle. Survival becomes a zero-sum game (Level 2 Energy: “For me to live, you MUST die”).

In “Terminator,” AI becomes self-aware and launches global genocide. Humanity is reduced to a rebellion against its own creations.

In “Black Mirror,” modern technology is pushed to its extreme consequences, eroding human connection and deepening manipulation. Every timeline leads to disconnection.

In “The Truman Show,” a man’s entire life is a staged production. Surveillance is disguised as care. Freedom means stepping beyond the illusion into the unknown.

In “Gattaca,” genetic engineering creates a hierarchy where your DNA dictates your destiny. Free will is replaced with pre-programmed social roles.

InWALL-E,”Earth is trashed. Humans become passive, screen-obsessed blobs on a luxury spaceship. Redemption is offered by a lonely robot who remembers love and soil.

In “1984,” a totalitarian regime uses surveillance, propaganda, and language control to dominate thought and erase individuality. “Big Brother” becomes the face of benevolent oppression. Truth is rewritten. History is altered. Emotion is regulated. Dystopia is not just the setting. It’s the psychology. Obedience becomes safety. Rebellion becomes insanity. A blueprint for control, not liberation.

We could go on. Though it’s not healthy for my sensitive imagination to dwell too long in Dystopian Feedback Loops. When I write, I feel my way through each word to ensure they symbolize precisely what I mean to convey. Feeling my way through some of these descriptions made me sick to my stomach (particularly “Black Mirror,” and that’s just from seeing one 1 episode).

So let’s invite in some humor. Enter one of the greatest masterpieces of cultural engineering: The Simpsons.

Scenes from The Simpsons “Treehouse of Horror VII.”

The Law of Being defines an Assumption as “a belief that because something happened in the past, it is automatically going to happen again.” In the self-mastery program, we examine personal Assumption Blocks, like, “Because they told me to shush last time I shared my truth, they’ll definitely try to censor me again.” Though as a population we have also agreed upon quite a few collective Assumption Blocks. Such as, “Because it’s always been a two-party system, it’ll always be a two-party system.”

While I live in my own little Golden Future world in which politics no longer exist, I still observe the Catabolic nature of the two-party system dominating the 3D psyche. So much Level 2 Energy (“we are the good guys, you are the bad guys”) ripe for transmutation.

Yet, to cross that threshold into Level 3 cooperation, building bridges across the great divide, we’d first have to accept responsibility for the roles we played in the division.

Unlike Homer, who echoes the sentiment of the “losing” party every election.

To Homer’s credit, he went above and beyond to expose the Truth. Only after America abandoned the third-party option did he settle for voting for the lesser of two evils.

What is worth noticing in his blame-dodge default is how the campaign never truly ends. Long after Election Day, the political machine keeps running. At no point do politicians encourage We the People to unite. Instead, we are left in a low-grade Level 2 Energy of resentment, blame, and conflict that simmers for four years until it boils over at the next election.

And of course, all the focus is on the National Election. With that kind of intensity carved into our nervous systems every four years, how likely is it that we will come together as neighborhoods, communities, and towns? Washington, D.C. has convinced the United States to believe that the neighbor who voted differently is “the other,” one of the bad guys.

Joke’s on us. Washington, D.C. is not even part of this country.

It is a federal district with its own set of laws and governance, separate from the fifty states. Along with the City of London and Vatican City, it is often referenced as part of a “trinity” of independent power centers, each with its own sphere of influence: finance, religion, and politics. Washington, D.C. serves as the political arm, yet it operates with autonomy from the states it governs.

And all the media cameras are locked on it. The lights, the drama, the constant headlines. It’s the stage set for a never-ending performance that keeps our attention fixed on the show, instead of on the power we hold in our own communities.

And now a word from our local Business Professor, Christopher Peña:

Hello everyone, Chris here!

I wanted to share an exciting update on the Small Business Stronghold we are building here in Worcester, MA. Momentum is growing as more small business owners across the city express interest in joining the initiative. I recently met with Peter Dunn, the Director of Economic Development for the City of Worcester, who is in full support of our vision.

Right now, we are in discovery mode, gathering insights from business leaders to help shape the direction of the Stronghold. The early vision includes sharing leadership and financial tools, and exploring ways to foster both horizontal and vertical integration among local businesses, similar to how Acoustic Java features its coffee in cafés across the city.

We are excited to announce our first Small Business Stronghold gathering will be held at Root Awakening on August 21st at 7:00 p.m.

If you are a small business owner in Worcester or know someone who might benefit from being part of this community, feel free to forward this message or reach out to me directly at chris@feedbackloopcoaching.com.

These sessions will be agile, with space for every business leader to share their strengths, ideas, and insights about the current landscape for small businesses in Worcester.

We are looking forward to building a lasting impact together.

With care,
Chris

Back to our regularly scheduled Deprogramming!

In honor of our readers who enjoy easy-to-swallow Red Pills…

We continue our examination of Dystopia as a Psyop:

Absorbing the Program

We are not just watching these worlds play out on our screens. We are internalizing them. As character development, drama, and spectacle strap us in for the ride, we feel it all. Our cells do not know the difference between an emotion sparked by entertainment and an emotion triggered by a real threat to our safety. Either way, the intensity is felt. For many of us, the rush is addictive.

Enter the Psyop

If you are unfamiliar with the term, psyop is short for psychological operation. It is a planned effort to influence the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors of a target audience so they think and act in ways that serve the goals of the group running the operation.

While the term comes from the military, psyops can be run by governments, corporations, or other entities. They use carefully crafted messaging, symbolism, and repetition across media channels to shape perception without the audience realizing they are being influenced.

The Tactics

Some key traits of a psyop:

  • Manipulates perception rather than simply delivering facts

  • Targets the subconscious through imagery, narrative, and emotional triggers

  • Uses fear, hope, shame, or belonging to sway behavior

  • Frames the story to limit perceived choices (“lesser of two evils” thinking is a common example)

  • Can be proactive or reactive, setting the narrative before events unfold or reframing them afterward

In short, a psyop is mindset engineering. It works best when people do not realize it is happening.

How It Spreads

  • Architects: Psyops often originate within governments, intelligence agencies, military psychological operations divisions, think tanks, and influential corporate interests. These groups design narratives that serve strategic or economic goals.

  • Media as Amplifier: Once a narrative is crafted, mainstream media and now major streaming platforms serve as the megaphone. News cycles, entertainment, advertising, and social feeds repeat the patterns until they feel like the natural backdrop of reality.

  • Hollywood and Storytelling: Scripted content gives the psyop an emotional charge. Fear, hero–villain framing, and zero–sum stakes prime our nervous systems to accept certain “truths” without critical thought.

  • Education and Cultural Reinforcement: Schools, textbooks, and workplace trainings often echo the same narratives, embedding them as multi–generational norms.

Proof in Plain Sight

For anyone struggling with the concept that such architects exist, history offers proof. Operation Mockingbird, Operation Northwoods, Operation CHAOS, MK–Ultra, and the ongoing Pentagon Military Entertainment Liaison Program are all admitted, declassified psyops.

To think these efforts have stopped is a pleasant thought, though unrealistic. This battle for humanity’s perception has been waged for millennia. In the esoteric telling, it stretches back to the Orion Wars. Here we are: Starseeds, Lightworkers, and conscious leaders anchoring the Rebel Alliance here on Earth, refusing to yield to the Galactic Empire.

Programming Doom

The narrative of inevitable doomsday has been repeated for generations. We have been groomed to expect it and therefore accept it. When we normalize fear, disconnection, and collapse, we unconsciously build systems that reflect them.

We have been programmed to believe that a bleak future is inevitable and that perpetuating despair narratives is a sign of intelligence. Intellectual types trauma–bond over the latest catastrophes, pointing to science as proof that we are all doomed.

The Naivety Myth

Meanwhile, optimism is dismissed as naive. What is naive about aligning with the intelligence of Nature? What is naive about surrendering to the flow that has carried life forward for billions of years? What is naive about inviting more celebration of life and creation itself into our media?

Why not normalize collaboration, synthesis, and harmony? The Tao is a living lineage over 10,000 years old. Why would we not choose to timeline–hop into such natural practices?

Why Peace Feels Foreign

The truth is that peace and calm feel foreign. We have not built the neural pathways to expect them, much less crave them. So we default to the familiar hell instead of imagining an unknown heaven.

Yet the hell is just as imagined. It does not have to be real. We have the power to make it real or reject it when we see these stories dominating our screens. Perhaps we remember they are not just stories. They are scripts. They are rehearsals. They are seeds planted deep in our psyche, so deep that fear feels familiar and dreaming feels irresponsible.

The Hidden Question

So let us ask the question legacy media avoids:
Who profits from this worldview?
Who are the Architects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

Tech moguls. AI overlords. Military contractors.
The data brokers. The centralizing forces. The algorithmic gatekeepers. Those invested in humanity seeing itself as a problem to be solved instead of a miracle in progress.

Because a civilization that believes in its own destruction is easier to manage, manipulate, and monetize.

  • If we expect despair, we stop resisting it.

  • If we accept surveillance as safety, we trade freedom for comfort.

  • If we give up on harmony, we will not notice when it is stolen.

The Inner–Outer Loop

“What we consume, we normalize.
What we normalize, we live.”
~ Feedback Loop Coaching

Our inner world and outer world are constantly in conversation. Every narrative we absorb becomes part of our energetic imprint. Every belief we rehearse becomes the life we create.

Dystopia is not just a plot. It is a program. But it is one we can consciously overwrite.

The Golden Future

Here at the Rebel Alliance, we wonder…
What if dystopia is not inevitable but simply well–funded?
What if the real psyop is the belief that your dreams are naive, that sovereignty is impractical, that healing is too slow, that peace is unrealistic, that the Golden Future is too good to be true?

The Golden Future is the most natural timeline.
The Earth already knows how to balance.
The Tao already flows.
Your nervous system already knows what peace feels like, even if you have forgotten.

And the psyop depends on our forgetting. So we remember. Together. Through story, community, coherence, and conscious attention. Focusing on inspiring, empowering, aligned creativity. That is how we flip the script. That is why we gather.
That is how we timeline hop. From fate to destiny.

This Lion’s Gate, we invite you to journey through the wormhole and into the Dreamer’s Timeline.

While we also understand how addictive the pull to drama can be. Infotainment is fueled by our adrenaline and cortisol. So we’ve designed a Free Masterclass to help you through the grip of the bottleneck.

Purifying your feedback loop is an act of excavation. Together, we will unearth the old narratives we’ve been living inside, weed out the rotting roots, and compost what no longer serves. We will prepare the soil for healthy, regenerative seeds ~ golden seeds ~ that hold the potential for an entirely different future.

Because when we clear the soil, we create fertile ground for new growth. And the seeds we plant determine the future we cultivate.

This masterclass prepares us for The Golden Future Book Club, where we’ll inundate our feedback loops with optimal possibilities for humanity and Earth. Because why not?

For anyone who says “That’s unrealistic,” I invite you to read my latest blog post, The Golden Rule. After considering the regenerative harmony of Nature and sacred geometry, ask yourself: What’s truly unrealistic ~ that we would align with the anabolic flow of life present in the sacred geometry all around us, or that we’d continue following catabolic patterns straight off a cliff? 

Young people are not fooled by catabolic leaders. The younger generations are now coming into this world already transcended. Already aligned with resonance and authenticity. Let’s follow their lead and take the Great Leap into the 5th Dimension together. 

As I remind my clients when we evaluate interpretations: It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. There are infinite truths. What matters is how it makes you feel.

The same goes for how we imagine our civilization’s future.
If our vision makes us feel doom and gloom, how likely are we to gather, collaborate, and create meaning? If it inspires and energizes us, how might we show up for our communities?

The choice is ours.

To join the Golden Future Book Club, you may want to purchase your own copy of the book or listen to the audio version, though it’s not required. I am delighted to read to you. If you’re feeling called to this story time for adults, register here.

PS- If this message is clipped in your email, be sure to keep reading! This is not the end…

And some updates for you!

We have completed our YouTube records of my interview Chris about his time in Brazil. Check them out here:

Part 1: The Call to the Jungle

Part 2: Ceremony, Language, and the Force – A Yawanawa Jungle Reflection

Part 3: The One with the Blue People

Plus, two opportunities to honor the cosmic alignment this weekend:

Lion’s Gate Ceremony — August 8

The Lion’s Gate Portal peaks on 8/8, radiating the energy of strength, courage, and heart-centered creation. This annual alignment of the Sun, Sirius, Orion, and Earth invites us to merge our personality self with our soul self, so that our actions, creations, and choices flow directly from divine alignment.

Sirius, often called our “binary star,” guides humanity’s evolutionary leap toward higher consciousness. At this gateway, its rising just before the Sun is a cosmic reminder that we are part of a vast, intelligent design. We are here to remember who we are, why we came, and the oneness we share with all life.

The portal’s invitation:

  • Align with your soul’s purpose — Attune your personality to your higher self so your gifts flow authentically.

  • Release fear and resistance — Use ceremony (like Ceremonial Sounds) to alchemize the old wounds, doubts, and past patterns that block your full expression.

  • Lead with the heart — The Leo energy calls for joyful courage, creativity, and integrity in manifesting your unique contribution to the healing of the world. Try something new!

  • Stand in aligned relationship with the cosmos — Veruna’s influence urges us to restore balance, harmony, and natural law in our lives.

The Lion’s Gate is your moment to embody your true soul song and offer it in harmony with the greater song of the spheres.

Full Moon Ceremony — August 9 (Aquarius Full Moon at 16°)

The Full Moon follows immediately after the Lion’s Gate peak, amplifying its energies with an emphasis on truth, authenticity, and collective transformation. This Moon illuminates a Grand Trine in Air and a Mystic Rectangle, calling for the integration of aligned action, aligned thought, and higher consciousness.

Key themes:

  • Inspired Action in Alignment with Higher Will — Mars and Pluto encourage us to act from integrity, transforming old habits and aligning with the ideals of the Aquarian Age: truth, justice, collaboration, and community.

  • Seeing Through Illusion — Uranus cuts through shadow and deception, both within ourselves and in the collective, revealing what must shift for higher truth to prevail.

  • Healing Through Compassionate Presence — Chariklo’s (Chiron’s wife) steady, loving energy teaches “withness,” holding ourselves and others in compassion without being pulled under by the pain. This presence is the soil from which true healing grows.

  • Guarding Your Authenticity — The Moon’s Sabian symbol, “A watchdog standing guard,” urges you to protect your unique creative essence from social pressures, fear-based control, and old paradigm manipulation.

The Full Moon also deepens the Lion’s Gate call:

  • Know what is yours to do — Attune to your heart to discern your unique responsibility and creative role in this time.

  • Co-create the New Song — Like a cosmic choir, each voice matters. Together, aligned in heart and purpose, we weave a New Earth into being.

This Moon asks you to be both courageous and centered, holding stillness within while emanating love outward, a stabilizing force in times of turbulence. In doing so, you anchor the paradigms of the Aquarian Age and help humanity’s leap into fifth-dimensional consciousness.

Join us this Full Moon as Chris guides us through a Yoga Flow with an opportunity to Celebrate how far we’ve come since the New Moon in Aquarius, as well as the option to burn away what no longer serves.

We will seal our magick with a Kava Ceremony.
