This was a decisive year.
Not because a cosmic counter hit zero, but because that’s where the dream was going next.
It was a year of choice — not surface choice, not identity choice. Identities don’t run the show, even though it often looks that way. There’s a deep confusion there between identity-consciousness and entity-consciousness, but that’s another conversation.
There’s no cosmic deadline either. No midnight marker. No bell ringing.
Looking back, I can see where I course-shifted, where I set things in motion. Not “me” as identity, but the deeper entity that moves through me — though even that separation isn’t quite right. It happens through me. This isn’t mysticism or pop-spirituality. It’s literal. It’s lawful. The same way gravity is lawful.
Some markers are clearer than others. Some sit closer in memory and feel more vivid. But course-setting is always happening, even when what follows is difficult or traumatic. That’s true for all living human beings (who aren’t hollow inside) even when they don’t know it and blame themselves, others, or life.
Real choices aren’t made by identity.
Identity experiences them.
Sometimes that experience shocks the identity. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it contradicts what the identity would have preferred. Naturally — identity can’t predict the future. It can only project the past into the future.
That projecting isn’t wrong. If my hand accidentally smashed the kettle, I’ll be more careful with the next one. That’s functional learning.
On the surface, it was a mistake. One clumsy movement. The kettle flew, smashed, and hit the floor before I even registered what happened. I heard it break before I saw it.
On a deeper level, that kettle had been hanging on for a long time. One random day it could’ve simply stopped working. I’d tried to replace it once or twice — noticing the signs, weighing the cost, not finding the right one. Those “reasons” don’t really matter. They’re surface explanations — places the mind needs to rest in.
There were times I genuinely felt that kettle hanging on, as if it had a life of its own, somehow linked with mine. If I didn’t risk being called mad, I’d say we communicated. Straightjacket material. 😂
After it broke, replacing it still wasn’t immediate. I used a cheap backup kettle. It started failing too. I used the electric cooker, while sensing — without calculating — that this was costing more than a replacement.
So, after a few days, when I went to the supermarket, a kettle was on the list. If I found the right one, fine. If not, fine too.
For the first time, I wasn’t alone. I asked my neighbor if she wanted anything since I’d be going. She wanted to come along — for company.
At the shelf, there were four or five kettles. Most too expensive. Then one stood out — significantly cheaper, transparent, which is what I wanted. I wasn’t alone though, so there was no space for overthinking, weighing pros and cons, analyzing. It felt right. So it went in the basket.
At home, unpacking it, testing it to make sure it worked, I got unexpected confirmation: when turned on, it lit up neon blue inside — just like the old one I had and had been searching for but couldn’t find. It was a genuine, child-like enthusiasm moment.
Read superficially, this can sound New Agey. That’s because the surface mind needs authorship and control. What’s underneath is something else entirely — and it terrifies identity if it believes it’s steering life.
The kettle detour has everything to do with timelines, with a “choice year.” And it’s far more interesting than the ordinary mind imagines. Nothing about this is chaotic. Natural laws govern this level, far beyond what we consciously grasp.
We don’t need to know all natural laws to trust they exist. By now, it’s evident that they do.
Quantum physics has been around for a century, and still:
-
it’s viewed through linear lenses
-
absent from everyday logic
-
missing from primary education
-
treated as optional understanding
-
kept separate from life
Even though it’s the creative, baseline level of the physical world.
So, circling back:
We decide by participation.
And whatever that participation is, is precisely what’s needed — personally and collectively.
We’re never separate from the collective.
Natural law doesn’t need our belief, consent, or agreement to function.
