Getting Back to Human Decency, Common Sense, and Civil Discourse

If we’re to get back to human decency, common sense, and civil discourse, we need some tools and goals.

One major tool for the inner work is and always will be our awareness.

Our noticing, our experiencing, our realizing – what we need to do is remain aware of ourselves, not so much of others, unless we’re in the military. And I’m not writing for the military, whom I admire and whom I believe need not to be distracted.

If we civilians want to emerge from what I found to be our character armor, (1) I think our awareness is our best multipurpose tool.

To suddenly emerge from our armor is equivalent to years of processing all our core issues, resentments, and all other unfinished business. (2) We can process it or we can drop the whole affair all at once.

It’s similar for us as individuals to the situation for us as a collective. Matthew says:

Matthew: Your world could be transformed into the Golden Age in the twinkling of an eye IF that belief and vision were in the collective consciousness, but it is not and so all the changes will be a process. (3)

Our character armor could be dropped, I believe, in the twinkling of an eye IF that belief and vision were in the collective consciousness, but it is not and so the changes for us as individuals will also need to be a process.

Whatever the case, I went through a part of that process on or around April 11, 2026.

I was frustrated at not having the intellectual capacity to connect the dots I was seeing on a daily basis. There was too much manipulation of the news from all sides to know what to base an opinion on.

I was lying on my bed, doing the spiritual equivalent of screaming that I needed a bigger brain! I was invoking the universal law and the Divine Mother and Michael. Where are you when I need you?

To compress a whole week into a single sentence: The next day, I began to vomit, fasted, and slept for the next four and a half days. While I didn’t remember this key detail for a day or two after emerging, I did flash on it after that. I remembered a lucid dream in which a piece of iron like a breastplate fell away from me and hit the ground with a clang. “What was that?” I thought. Back came the reply: “Your character armor.”

And so it proved to be. I was swept clean of my core issues, defensive strategies, favorite comebacks, etc., etc. I emerged feeling cleansed and … normal.

I hadn’t felt normal since Dad yelled at me, inches away from my face, when I was seven and the Humpty Dumpty Man shattered. All that time there has always been something about me that was … abnormal.

Now there was not. I reconnected with my life before seven.

So I know it’s possible not only to transcend an issue but to drop the whole defense mechanism called our “character armor.” And, as we go into higher and higher vibratory spaces, I surmise that it’ll get easier and easier to let go of. The Wave of Love will do the work for us. (4) Michael compared it to a car wash.

For us it will be. For the dark, it”ll be the return of the Red Sea.

In the space beyond the Wave, you’ll laugh at how easy it now is to get back to human decency, common sense, and civil discourse. We as an entire planet will just have been rescued from a very dark place by more advanced civilizations in other dimensions. That’s something to Facetime home about, isn’t it?
