I’ve been reading Steve’s adventures with a fake Elon Musk and Nigerian scammers. (1) While I’m slightly amused, I’m also recognizing that I too am going through a similar situation.
The topic of fraud seems to be a recurring theme, and it’s probably worth calling out a few things I’m noticing.
In my situation, I was pushing myself to become more public and wanting to start a YouTube channel. I came across a beautiful ad on X for some AI software to create videos. I’m very visual and it hooked me. The website itself was equally gorgeous and professional looking.
So out of curiosity and excitement, I downloaded the installer to try it out.
Yes, I took some precautions. I searched for the website name to see if it was a known scam site and scanned the installer using my anti-virus software. Both came up clean. I decided to run it. It didn’t install correctly, and so I mentally wrote it off.
Two hours later I was getting fraud alerts on my accounts. The hackers were in my bank account moving money around. Someone ordered a new iPhone and it was being shipped to an address in another state.
To say that I was triggered and reactive was an understatement. This was exacerbated by the fact that I’ve been an unemployed software professional for 15 months and it was also Christmas season.
I know that there are no coincidences and this was happening all for a very good reason. But while in the throes of the reaction it’s a difficult thing to appreciate.
In the end, I do believe I will be able to recover nearly everything. And at the moment… I have some clarity over the situation.
On a personal level, this hit multiple levels of triggers and opportunities for internal healing.
Scarcity over money, the persona of needing to be the provider for my family, anger over being wronged, frustration when PayPal questioned my integrity and didn’t trust my word, the need for retribution.
I know, with my 5D perspective, that I’m looking at myself, that all of this is a mirror showing me to me. I know that there is no “out there” to fix and that all the answers and true insight are within.
On a more global level, I’m seeing the topic of fraud come up repeatedly in the political and financial realms.
It’s the same theme of exposing corruption; whether it be the 2008 financial crisis, the Occupy Wall Street protests, or Elon Musk and his DOGE program. Currently my X feed is filled with the topic of Somali daycares in Minnesota and elsewhere which were essentially shell companies that fraudulently accepted vast amounts of taxpayer funds. There are many other examples.
But what I’m really noticing is a shift in public awareness over the unworkability of the current systems. People are questioning the basic social contract of paying taxes when fraud is so prevalent.
“What are we even doing here?”
“What is the point of this?”
“Why follow the rules when they don’t?”
These are all very good questions. I’m not suggesting that anyone move themselves out of integrity or lower themselves into the corruption they see.
But I do think that all of this is clearing debris in the collective consciousness of humanity. The trust in external authority figures continues to weaken.
At the core I feel a deeper yearning for something to change.
“There has to be a better way.”
I often see this clearing of debris before something is about to manifest. The solution that the heart seeks is already created and ready to be brought into the physical. But before that happens the healing and the insight must occur. The distortions need to be seen so a different choice can be made.
No, I’m not going to make a prediction. But I imagine that systems such as the QFS and global abundance programs are waiting in the wings for the perfect divine right timing.
What other debris should I clear from my consciousness? What remains to be seen? As always, the time is now.
