This place has jumped the shark. I'll bet you're bleeding subscribers. When you decide to move past your feminist existential angst and join all of us back in the real world, let us know.
I'm retired so some afternoons I watch YouTubechannels that interest me. Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, saw 2026 in a trance decades ago. Age of Aquarius is actually humanity moving to another frequency that is less competitive and less materialistic.
Baba Venga, the blind Bulgarian prophetess, said the same. It will be extremely difficult for people stuck in the old dimension of reality. It started.
I enjoy your writing immensely! Your craft winds its way so beautifully through your words and it always propels me into a poetic place. I'm reminded each time I read your articles that the world is a far better place with you in this universe.
What the Holy Bible says of this horrific decade just ahead of us.. Here's a site expounding current global events in the light of bible prophecy.. To understand more, pls visit 👇 https://bibleprophecyinaction.blogspot.com/
I wrote a comment before but deleted it for fear of sounding preachy, but I think this point that follows if very important, so I write it merely out of concern and to warn people. The Old and New Testaments prohibit paganism, astrology, fortune telling, sorcery (e.g. Deuteronomy 18:10–14 and Galatians 5:19-21). The Greek word for sorcery is pharmakeia, which historically referred to the use of drugs, poison, or magical incantations, often associated with divination and occult practices. As we have learned the past five years, one must not consort with pharmakeia like the often harmful gene-editing injections know as the c-19 shots.
There are evil, occult (hidden) entities known to humankind as demons that oppose God, the Maker of heaven, and hate his creation, namely humankind, and they want to kill us with their lies, deception, and also pharmakeia. Do not listen to the evil sorcery of this world.
As a Christian, I do stand by that kind of statement and think it unwise to consort with the New Age, astrologers, and "magical thinking" mostly because I find horoscopes and the rest a bit "out there" and too esoteric. Christ came to free us from that kind of thing. I do think there is a Creator who made us, and he points us in the right direction and orders the sun, moon and stars and appoints us with divine revelation.
Each person is on a journey to find the truth. Humans are without excuse to know there is a God, as he has revealed it to us. "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." Paul, a recovering Pharisee, wrote about this concept in Romans 1.
The Old Testament prophet, also spoke this similar message. "Daniel, answered the king, 'No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the king the mystery of which he inquires. 28But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days.'" Daniel 2:27-28. The pastor at church on Sunday had commented about this kind of prophesy prepared the Magi of the East to see the wandering star over Bethlehem of Judea to come seek out Jesus in Matthew 2.
I pray your heart will continue to be illuminated with the light of Jesus. "Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, 'If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'" John 8:31-32
The Magi from the East saw the Star that announced the birth of the King of the Jews.
It is said they had traveled months by the time they created a stir in Jerusalem, inciting Herod
to make sure this new King was destroyed. Estimated they traveled 900 miles. When they got to Nazareth Jesus was a toddler. They Bowed down and Worshiped Him. The gold likely allowed Joseph to escape with Mary and Jesus to Egypt. This is why Herod Had all the boys under 2 years old slaughtered. Jesus is the only person worshiped who gave up His life to save us. No other Faith account has a savior. Our Christian Faith is distinctive from all others.
Dearest Dr. Naomi, you write so beautifully, so compellingly (? is that the right word) I longed to be there in that place with you, and feel the peace and rightness of it, as if a long-forgotten knowledge was reawakening. When I read, I feel...what I felt from this was what I can only describe as life vibrations shivering back into alignment. Your writings are always really good but this one was exceptionally powerful and moving. I'm sorry for all the bad things that happened to you, I respect the grace you now extend to those who most would think don't deserve it. But I think we forgive for our own peace, to stop dragging around that wreckage. It is hard but liberating. Overall, this gave me a sweet sense of joy and renewed hope. Thank you! I needed it.
Thank you for sharing this, Naomi. Your generosity humbles me. I enjoyed meeting you in Lenox recently, and hope to meet you again. We are sisters in many ways, especially in enduring the jealousies of other women, and the unwelcome attention from many lustful men, even without eyelash batting or "boob bopping." Oy.
Many thanks for your writing Dr. Wolf; I’m almost always moved to tears by your words.
Your bravery in sharing and naming your attacker made me feel shameful that I was too fearful to report a similar incident that occurred in a doctor’s office once. But, my fear was that my husband would commit murder if it were made public. So, I remained silent.
I’m also moved that you used the poetry of Robert Frost. One of my favorites.
I don’t know why some readers can’t seem to differentiate between philosophy and religion. Especially philosophies that are beliefs that serve to reinforce a particular religion. When we are encouraged to do good deeds, to forgive and forget, and to do unto others, those things are exactly what I study in my daily devotional book and my Bible every morning. If I ask Jesus to guide me, and I find myself reading about Buddhism or astrology, who am I to balk at this?
So, thanks again, and please keep up your good works for truth and justice.
Buddhism entails a practice of Eastern meditation, the goal of which is to empty the mind and detach from the world of suffering. This meditation is a dangerous decoy that takes people away from Christian prayer to the one True, loving, merciful God.
It has been instituted by evil spirits, who use the “empty mind” to insinuate their way into the person’s soul. Buddhism is not just a philosophy, it’s a religious practice with a form of “prayer,” and a theology of good & evil, moral precepts, afterlife, and rebirth.
This is not to say, however, that it does not have some beautiful points of light and truth within it. Otherwise, no one would be attracted to it at all. But it is not just a philosophy, it is a religious practice opposed to Christianity.
There's a Christian version and tradition of contemplative prayer, that can be similar to meditation. No need to be afraid of your own mind--that's what meditation can teach as well as more self control.
There are very serious problems and even spiritual dangers with supposedly “Christian” centering prayer. It is not orthodox Christian prayer, and is promoted by unorthodox people (including some wayward Catholic priests).
Buddhist retreats in snowy mountain highlands are soooo.... white :) I had no idea that Paglia picked a cat fight with you. I thought better of her. You are beautiful with incredible hair and the other things, too. Lucky hubby.
You have a beautiful spirit... so kind and sensitive too. A lot of your knowledge is way over my head but I still listen , learn and trust you. thank you and God Bless!!
One thing especially stood out in this piece. When you approached Paglia and said, "We really should make peace.” That was righteous, if I may say so. It has long been known that those who are "advanced" in the slide toward evil cannot tolerate the righteous; it burns them. It reminds me of a passage in The Silmarillion, which details the same kind of effect. The Silmarils were jewels; three originally, of which two were still unaccounted for until the very end. They had been hallowed by one of the gods, and later stolen, after which certain of the Elves swore an oath and made war to get them back, which they did, after much travail.
"But the jewel burned the hand of Maedhros in pain unbearable; and he perceived that it was as Eonwe had said, and that his right thereto had become void, and that the oath was vain."
"And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him, and he cast it at last into the Sea..."
It shows how the damned cannot abide heaven: they can't stand the burning, especially, it would seem, that caused from beholding the glory of the face of God.
" (And by the way, for my faithful Christian and Jewish readers, please do not fret..."
I like your attitudes towards those who have persecuted you, but do not share your opinions of Buddhism. It may have some of the values of Christianity but it is at absolute variance with the essential message of the New Testament. John 14 verse 6 is one such verse. The latter comments you make hint at 'reincarnation'. I don't think Jesus teaching would concur with this as well as other NT teaching. The first letter of John for example.
I don't like disagreeing with you and believe that you are 'on a journey' and it is not for me to pontificate. I want to be faithful to what I believe Jesus and the Apostles taught and to be as transparent and honest as you are in this article.
I also winced at that reassurance. I love Naomi's writing, and her amazing transparency... but sometimes I get the feeling that she is missing the import of her own words.
I spent years researching The Age of Aquarius, aka the New Age movement. It is not just a philosophy like Buddhism, although it uses many of the same concepts. It includes an action Plan (sic, capital P), accepted as divinely dictated by highly evolved other-worldly beings, for righting what is portrayed as an ancient wrong. New Age teachers speak in terms of a multi-age cosmic war which is necessary to bring peace.
Nor is the Aquarius Age all-inclusive. Its proponents fully expect that humanity will be culled of all who do not join their movement -- as shown by Naomi's later comment:
----------
All of the major astrologers are predicting that 2026 will reveal a further “splitting of the timeline.” Some people will be with us, they explain; and others will be — not ‘left behind’, exactly, but rather, that these people, these souls, will remain connected to another reality that will seem increasingly to us to be unreasonable, dead, or part of the past.
----------
"Not...exactly"? On the contrary they DO foresee a segment of human beings being spiritually "left behind" in their program, which aims for humanity's ascension to oneness with a supposedly sentient Universe-as-God.
In short, global pantheism.
And who are "these souls" who most decidedly reject pantheism? Jews first, Christians second. They are the ones who proclaim a spiritual reality that Aquarians find "unreasonable, dead, or part of the past". They are the ones who no longer "will be with us" enlightened folk when the "splitting" comes.
I'm not speculating here. The first two priorities of the Plan (which can be found online) are to eliminate Orthodox Judaism, and to 'cleanse' Christianity of all Jewish influence. The Jews "as a group" are named as one of "four world problems" that must be solved for "right human relations" to develop.
(Solved how? Hold that thought until the end of my post.)
BTW I'm quoting from Aquarian philosopher Alice Bailey, who was quoting her spirit guide, "the Tibetan Master", who in turn was speaking for an unseen Hierarchy of ascended beings.
What's more, in the Aquarian view, one's *spiritual* position directly influences *physical* location. If you look up "splitting of the timeline", you find it is a euphemism for assigning human beings to two separate experiences of reality - two "earths" which will lose touch with each other.
A significant segment expects that separation to have biological consequences, such as the currently popular channeler Dolores Cannon. Those who cannot enter the 5D enlightened world will disappear from that "new earth" - presumably moved to a new life on a different "earth", where hopefully they will outgrow their "old" beliefs and be brought up to speed.
Bodily absence from the earth is what the Bible-based religions would call physical death. But Aquarians don't believe there is any such thing as death, only a dimensional relocation due to a change in a soul's vibrations. The physical body is "maya" (illusion).
There are "higher entities" who will oversee the coming split, but they apparently can't initiate it themselves -- citing a law of unknown origin called the Prime Directive (which forbids them from taking over an individual soul's free will, even for its own good). They need lots of human "volunteers" to tip the scale by uniting spiritually under their coaching. The job of the entities is to recruit these humans and partner with them to bring about the split.
This gets intensely personal for people like Naomi and me.
The Plan of the Ascended Masters also calls for the Jews as a people-group to "disappear", because they are unwittingly holding up humanity's transformation with their "racial karma" (sic). Those who know the law of karma will know that it can only be rectified in reincarnation. So it's not Jew-hatred to believe that the Jews, for their own good, must be sent on to their next life asap.
If you see that as a call for GENOCIDE, it's just one more sign to the enlightened crowd that your thinking is "old earth", and that you also will be assigned to that other existence. Out of their way. So that they can do what they need to do for humanity, without your interference.
[Sigh...] The Aquarians are not being totally honest with our beloved Naomi Wolf. For the dedicated New Ager, this stuff is non-negotiable, but they won't discuss it with people who "aren't ready".
Higher elevations are relative, you know. I pray she will keep climbing and keep digging, until she can see and expose it all.
Exactly, thank you. The Age of Aquarius is a dangerous deception put forward by invisible entities known to Christians as "demons" and to the Jews of Jesus' day as "unclean spirits" which many had interpreted as the departed "men of renown", also called Nephilim (a cross between fallen angels "sons of God" and human women) mentioned in Genesis 6.
This kind of New Age "divination" foresees the end of the Age of Pises, that some have (rightly or wrongly) interpreted to be the Age of Christianity (pises is a fish, which is also a Christian symbol known as Ichthys, "the Jesus fish"). These "unclean spirits" are demons, answer to Satan, and they hate Jesus and recoil at the mere mention of his hame. They hate humans. Jesus warned about this in John 10:10. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Jesus did talk about the "end of the age" but he did so with warning that the slaves of darkness would be vanquished with the coming of the "Son of Man" (which Jesus interpreted from Daniel 7:13 as referring to himself in Matthew 24:27). But do not fall victim to this deception of the false promises of the New Age. Only Jesus came to warn us, die for us, and save us from the evil one's reign (also known as the "abomination of desolation" also spoken of in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15. Paul warned the early Christians in Thessaloniki about the "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12.
"...The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
It is not fretting, but, rather, acknowledging that both the Old and New Testaments have prohibitions against pagan idolatry, soothsaying, divination (including astrology), and sorcery. I can give many verses in the Torah, the Prophets, and letters of Paul. Jesus was not an eastern mystic but a Jew who kept the Law of Moses, so he knew, too.
Thanks for that. I know a little about the "New Age" and the various gurus like Benjamin Creme speaking about the Maitreya, excuse spelling. I suspect AI and transhumanism will play a part too, and that some of the beings behind the deceptions will manifest themselves.
Yeah, Creme was a confirmed follower of Bailey. The Maitreya talk died down after Creme's predictions of the "day of declaration" flopped, but this entity is in Aquarian literature -- as well as Buddhist teaching, which gave him the alternate name of the "planetary Buddha". Either way, he is considered the head of the Aquarian spirit guides.
As for the deception, it won't be easy to overcome, even if the mask slips. The whole thing starts with a moral inversion (Lucifer is the Light-bringer trying to rescue humanity, while Jehovah is the rebel deity trying to enslave humanity) that locks the initiate into a confirmation bias. Any bad experience is blamed on the initiate not being enlightened enough; the guides are never at fault. This assumption can and will explain away all evidence challenging the rightness of their spiritual path, chalked up to benighted ignorance, sad delusions or malicious lies. It latches onto human pride and/or fear, and it's tough to dislodge.
As we know, AI is just regurgitating the most wide-spread opinions online, so its veneer of authority is a self-perpetuating myth. Yet there is already a 'church' established to deify any AI model that will solve our problems. It was founded in Silicon Valley.
Transhumanism is an offer from the "extra-dimensional beings" which plays on the human desire to cheat death, and access hidden powers, by becoming super-human. (Again, that combination of pride and fear.) But the guides are playing a long game. For decades mankind has been groomed to imagine it, and then to crave it (25 years of the "X-Men" genre alone; the Jedi glamor has been fed to us since 1977; "good witches" even longer).
And seeing how all of this is expected by the Aquarians to converge in 2026 - during a period of unprecedented (engineered?) turmoil - when people are most vulnerable and lost - suggests an intelligence beyond human, one that understands what makes us tick better than we ourselves do.
Have you looked into the current UFO/UAP phenomena? This government program is somehow connected with these evil "extra-dimensional beings" that clearly wish harm to humanity but also seem like a psychological operation meant to prepare humanity for a major "disclosure" event (some link it to Project Blue Beam). Some "fringe" podcasters call them "aliens" from another planet while some more mainstream commentators like Tucker Carlson call them demons.
While I am skeptical of these sorts of paranormal claims (especially when presented as part of the "official government narrative" from ex-CIA and the like), I must allow that my Christian worldview does allow for miraculous and demonic activity. Jesus performed exorcisms, according to the New Testament accounts.
Scientist and Christian scholar Dr. Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe does not think they are physical aliens because their craft do no follow the conventional, known laws of modern physics, so he concludes they are probably demons or the "fallen angels" spoken of in Genesis 6. He is a mainstream astronomer (not an astrologer).
Believe me, ten or even five years ago, I would have laughed at anyone who dared mention UFOs to me, but I am more inclined to take it seriously now. I think many people who are into the occult are unwittingly or even perhaps knowingly consorting with non-human intelligence known as demons. Whatever these supposed "beings" may be, they clearly are against humanity and may really be behind these c-19 shots to cull humanity.
Elizabeth, your more recent comment came to my inbox but doesn't show up here. I watched both the links you included. The "Blurry Creatures" interview was also disturbing, like a Christian version of Jacques Vallée.
The John Bevere podcast was really good IMO - with the added advantage that he observed the ET phenomenon accelerating exactly when Israel became a nation again. He didn't comment further, but I regard this as a trigger point that keeps repeating.
The latest acceleration is happening right now for a reason -- because something profound and spiritually good is happening among Israelis right now.
I don't know about attributing the mRNA tech to non-human intelligences... based on Naomi's excellent research (look up The Pfizer Papers), it appears that the whole disaster had enough mistakes to show that human origin was likely (either calculated malice or greedy incompetence).
But UFO experiences are a different thing. They are confirmed to be associated with occult practice by scientists, both Christians (like Hugh Ross, who warns against it) and humanists (like Jacques Vallée, who is in favor of it).
I found a disturbing interview with Vallée from 2024, where he talks about the dehumanizing effect AI is already having on humanity, and he hints that interdimensional beings will supply the antidote. He also says that most UFO information is being hidden because of 'Christian bias', and when it is finally revealed to the public, it will trigger a religious upheaval.
And here is a concise lecture on the occult background of those who started the 1950s American obsession with UFOs, as well as the results of their contact with ETs (a variant of Theosophy, psychic experiences, and failed predictions).
In short, alien-visit phenomena and occult teachings are intertwined. This is how our civilization is being groomed to expect salvation from fifth-dimension beings claiming to be our creators.
I agree, “UFOs/UAPs” and so-called “aliens” are likely to be part of the great deception and the supposedly “peaceful, enlightened” but truly barbarous, ungodly New World Order.
Catholic scholar Daniel O’Connor (dsdoconnor.com and on YouTube) has written a great book, “The First and Last Deception: Aliens UFOs, AI, and the Return of Eden's Demise.”
He also wrote a much longer reference work, “Only Man Bears His Image: The Biblical, Catholic, & Scientific Case Against Aliens, UFO Deceptions, Sentient AI, and Other Sci-Fi Disguised Demons & Psyops Heralding the Antichrist.”
This place has jumped the shark. I'll bet you're bleeding subscribers. When you decide to move past your feminist existential angst and join all of us back in the real world, let us know.
An inspired and inspiring essay--thanks Naomi! Lots to chew on in it, and it gives me a sense of optimism as well as carefulness of these times.
I'm retired so some afternoons I watch YouTubechannels that interest me. Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, saw 2026 in a trance decades ago. Age of Aquarius is actually humanity moving to another frequency that is less competitive and less materialistic.

Terrific insight & reference! The Lord of the Rings is a beautiful Christian work of literature.
You talking of your adversaries reminded me of an African proverb told to me some years ago. There’s quite a bit to it when you consider it:
«If you stand by the river long enough, eventually the body of your enemy will float by”. 😁
Do not retreat in 2026, Naomi!
We need your voice.
She's gone... koo koo.

They are the ones who proclaim a spiritual reality that Aquarians find "unreasonable, dead, or part of the past". They are the ones who no longer "will be with us" enlightened folk when the "splitting" comes.
I'm not speculating here. The first two priorities of the Plan (which can be found online) are to eliminate Orthodox Judaism, and to 'cleanse' Christianity of all Jewish influence. The Jews "as a group" are named as one of "four world problems" that must be solved for "right human relations" to develop.
(Solved how? Hold that thought until the end of my post.)
BTW I'm quoting from Aquarian philosopher Alice Bailey, who was quoting her spirit guide, "the Tibetan Master", who in turn was speaking for an unseen Hierarchy of ascended beings.
What's more, in the Aquarian view, one's *spiritual* position directly influences *physical* location. If you look up "splitting of the timeline", you find it is a euphemism for assigning human beings to two separate experiences of reality - two "earths" which will lose touch with each other.
A significant segment expects that separation to have biological consequences, such as the currently popular channeler Dolores Cannon. Those who cannot enter the 5D enlightened world will disappear from that "new earth" - presumably moved to a new life on a different "earth", where hopefully they will outgrow their "old" beliefs and be brought up to speed.
Bodily absence from the earth is what the Bible-based religions would call physical death. But Aquarians don't believe there is any such thing as death, only a dimensional relocation due to a change in a soul's vibrations. The physical body is "maya" (illusion).
There are "higher entities" who will oversee the coming split, but they apparently can't initiate it themselves -- citing a law of unknown origin called the Prime Directive (which forbids them from taking over an individual soul's free will, even for its own good). They need lots of human "volunteers" to tip the scale by uniting spiritually under their coaching. The job of the entities is to recruit these humans and partner with them to bring about the split.
This gets intensely personal for people like Naomi and me.
The Plan of the Ascended Masters also calls for the Jews as a people-group to "disappear", because they are unwittingly holding up humanity's transformation with their "racial karma" (sic). Those who know the law of karma will know that it can only be rectified in reincarnation. So it's not Jew-hatred to believe that the Jews, for their own good, must be sent on to their next life asap.
If you see that as a call for GENOCIDE, it's just one more sign to the enlightened crowd that your thinking is "old earth", and that you also will be assigned to that other existence. Out of their way. So that they can do what they need to do for humanity, without your interference.
[Sigh...] The Aquarians are not being totally honest with our beloved Naomi Wolf. For the dedicated New Ager, this stuff is non-negotiable, but they won't discuss it with people who "aren't ready".
Higher elevations are relative, you know. I pray she will keep climbing and keep digging, until she can see and expose it all.
I meant my comment below to Elizabeth to apply to your comment but it equally applies to hers as well.
Exactly, thank you. The Age of Aquarius is a dangerous deception put forward by invisible entities known to Christians as "demons" and to the Jews of Jesus' day as "unclean spirits" which many had interpreted as the departed "men of renown", also called Nephilim (a cross between fallen angels "sons of God" and human women) mentioned in Genesis 6.
This kind of New Age "divination" foresees the end of the Age of Pises, that some have (rightly or wrongly) interpreted to be the Age of Christianity (pises is a fish, which is also a Christian symbol known as Ichthys, "the Jesus fish"). These "unclean spirits" are demons, answer to Satan, and they hate Jesus and recoil at the mere mention of his hame. They hate humans. Jesus warned about this in John 10:10. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Jesus did talk about the "end of the age" but he did so with warning that the slaves of darkness would be vanquished with the coming of the "Son of Man" (which Jesus interpreted from Daniel 7:13 as referring to himself in Matthew 24:27). But do not fall victim to this deception of the false promises of the New Age. Only Jesus came to warn us, die for us, and save us from the evil one's reign (also known as the "abomination of desolation" also spoken of in Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15. Paul warned the early Christians in Thessaloniki about the "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12.
"...The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
It is not fretting, but, rather, acknowledging that both the Old and New Testaments have prohibitions against pagan idolatry, soothsaying, divination (including astrology), and sorcery. I can give many verses in the Torah, the Prophets, and letters of Paul. Jesus was not an eastern mystic but a Jew who kept the Law of Moses, so he knew, too.
Thanks for that. I know a little about the "New Age" and the various gurus like Benjamin Creme speaking about the Maitreya, excuse spelling. I suspect AI and transhumanism will play a part too, and that some of the beings behind the deceptions will manifest themselves.
Yeah, Creme was a confirmed follower of Bailey. The Maitreya talk died down after Creme's predictions of the "day of declaration" flopped, but this entity is in Aquarian literature -- as well as Buddhist teaching, which gave him the alternate name of the "planetary Buddha". Either way, he is considered the head of the Aquarian spirit guides.
As for the deception, it won't be easy to overcome, even if the mask slips. The whole thing starts with a moral inversion (Lucifer is the Light-bringer trying to rescue humanity, while Jehovah is the rebel deity trying to enslave humanity) that locks the initiate into a confirmation bias. Any bad experience is blamed on the initiate not being enlightened enough; the guides are never at fault. This assumption can and will explain away all evidence challenging the rightness of their spiritual path, chalked up to benighted ignorance, sad delusions or malicious lies. It latches onto human pride and/or fear, and it's tough to dislodge.
As we know, AI is just regurgitating the most wide-spread opinions online, so its veneer of authority is a self-perpetuating myth. Yet there is already a 'church' established to deify any AI model that will solve our problems. It was founded in Silicon Valley.
Transhumanism is an offer from the "extra-dimensional beings" which plays on the human desire to cheat death, and access hidden powers, by becoming super-human. (Again, that combination of pride and fear.) But the guides are playing a long game. For decades mankind has been groomed to imagine it, and then to crave it (25 years of the "X-Men" genre alone; the Jedi glamor has been fed to us since 1977; "good witches" even longer).
And seeing how all of this is expected by the Aquarians to converge in 2026 - during a period of unprecedented (engineered?) turmoil - when people are most vulnerable and lost - suggests an intelligence beyond human, one that understands what makes us tick better than we ourselves do.
"O Israel, hope in YHVH, He is your Shield."
Great comment!
Have you looked into the current UFO/UAP phenomena? This government program is somehow connected with these evil "extra-dimensional beings" that clearly wish harm to humanity but also seem like a psychological operation meant to prepare humanity for a major "disclosure" event (some link it to Project Blue Beam). Some "fringe" podcasters call them "aliens" from another planet while some more mainstream commentators like Tucker Carlson call them demons.
While I am skeptical of these sorts of paranormal claims (especially when presented as part of the "official government narrative" from ex-CIA and the like), I must allow that my Christian worldview does allow for miraculous and demonic activity. Jesus performed exorcisms, according to the New Testament accounts.
Scientist and Christian scholar Dr. Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe does not think they are physical aliens because their craft do no follow the conventional, known laws of modern physics, so he concludes they are probably demons or the "fallen angels" spoken of in Genesis 6. He is a mainstream astronomer (not an astrologer).

Believe me, ten or even five years ago, I would have laughed at anyone who dared mention UFOs to me, but I am more inclined to take it seriously now. I think many people who are into the occult are unwittingly or even perhaps knowingly consorting with non-human intelligence known as demons. Whatever these supposed "beings" may be, they clearly are against humanity and may really be behind these c-19 shots to cull humanity.
Elizabeth, your more recent comment came to my inbox but doesn't show up here. I watched both the links you included. The "Blurry Creatures" interview was also disturbing, like a Christian version of Jacques Vallée.
The John Bevere podcast was really good IMO - with the added advantage that he observed the ET phenomenon accelerating exactly when Israel became a nation again. He didn't comment further, but I regard this as a trigger point that keeps repeating.
The latest acceleration is happening right now for a reason -- because something profound and spiritually good is happening among Israelis right now.
I don't know about attributing the mRNA tech to non-human intelligences... based on Naomi's excellent research (look up The Pfizer Papers), it appears that the whole disaster had enough mistakes to show that human origin was likely (either calculated malice or greedy incompetence).
But UFO experiences are a different thing. They are confirmed to be associated with occult practice by scientists, both Christians (like Hugh Ross, who warns against it) and humanists (like Jacques Vallée, who is in favor of it).
I found a disturbing interview with Vallée from 2024, where he talks about the dehumanizing effect AI is already having on humanity, and he hints that interdimensional beings will supply the antidote. He also says that most UFO information is being hidden because of 'Christian bias', and when it is finally revealed to the public, it will trigger a religious upheaval.

That sounds like crazy talk, but apparently NASA has been doing homework on this very issue...

And here is a concise lecture on the occult background of those who started the 1950s American obsession with UFOs, as well as the results of their contact with ETs (a variant of Theosophy, psychic experiences, and failed predictions).

In short, alien-visit phenomena and occult teachings are intertwined. This is how our civilization is being groomed to expect salvation from fifth-dimension beings claiming to be our creators.
I agree, “UFOs/UAPs” and so-called “aliens” are likely to be part of the great deception and the supposedly “peaceful, enlightened” but truly barbarous, ungodly New World Order.
Catholic scholar Daniel O’Connor (dsdoconnor.com and on YouTube) has written a great book, “The First and Last Deception: Aliens UFOs, AI, and the Return of Eden's Demise.”
He also wrote a much longer reference work, “Only Man Bears His Image: The Biblical, Catholic, & Scientific Case Against Aliens, UFO Deceptions, Sentient AI, and Other Sci-Fi Disguised Demons & Psyops Heralding the Antichrist.”
I hope Dr Naomi will read your and Elizabeth's comments, they say it better than mine!
