June 2026, Issue #297 Once in a while the dream comes true And the whole pattern of life is altered Once in a while the moon turns blue." ~ W.H. Auden, from Paul Bunyan The Tao of Now: Shake, Rattle, Enroll  Can we trust what we think we know?Cognitive psychologist Elizabeth Loftus discovered memory is actually a reconstruction: rather than retrieving an intact file, the brain rebuilds an experience from stored fragments, like a computer, based on what you expect to find given the current context. Then your brain stores the reconstruction as the new memory. This is why retrocausality might alter past patterns when we become deeply coherent in the present, posits creative technologist Sara Love. In other words: when we stop stabilizing the field with our belief systems, repeating ingrained stories about ourselves and our worldview, our emotional state can re-architect the past. Sara says, "This is where neuroscience, consciousness studies, quantum theory, trauma healing, and symbolic systems begin overlapping in very strange and beautiful ways." We don't see things as they are...  ...we see them as we are," wrote Anaïs Nin, encapsulating Loftus and Love in an astute aphorism. I've found this to be especially true when I revisit a defining experience from a future vantage point.One example: On the knife-edge of my descent, a wise woman recommended I watch the fulcrum film Resurrection, starring Ellen Burstyn and Sam Shepard. I rented the DVD (this was a while ago), and viewed the complete movie two nights in a row, sobbing each time at the conclusion. It was a visceral experience, touching something deep in my soul that I didn't consciously understand. When I re-watched the film more than 15 years later from awakened perspective, it was still impactful - and I noticed something that had completely escaped my attention initially. There is a brief reference to "the moon under her feet". In 2003 I read The Moon Under Her Feet by Clysta Kinstler, an Inannic odyssey set 2,000 years ago. The book also affected me profoundly. When I watched the film in 1993, these words passed right by. In 2010, with expanded context, they pierced my soul - and reconfigured my past. Soulquake City Gillian Macbeth Louthan says earthquakes signify evolution: "Spiritually, earthquakes are viewed as a physical manifestation of a shift in consciousness or a 'shaking loose' of old energy. The ground (your sense of safety) is being tested. Earthquakes disrupt routines to force a change in perception."Fear often stops people in their tracks, forcing a moment of prayer or reflection. The energy of Shaking reveals what is hidden or unstable in our lives. A quake is seen as Earth 'venting' and releasing built-up human pressure and negativity. It is often a natural recalibration to bring the physical and spiritual worlds back into harmony." We've never been as shaken loose from our mental moorings as we have since the millennium began, and especially since 2012, when the Mayan calendar cycle humans have lived since time beyond mind concluded. The odd thing is happening more and more frequently as our dreams materialize in 3D. Watch for that reference you missed the first time around. Splice it into the reconstruction. Remember: a seasonal blue moon occurs as the 13th moon in a calendar year, which happens approximately every 2.5 years. The next one will be May 20, 2027. Thirteen is the number of the spiral, of going beyond into the unknown. Our quantum field. Welcome to Soulquake City. The pattern is altered. The blue moon is our gift. And we can dance our way Home.
