Awake the Future

by Steven Lalevich

  One of the mechanisms behind these negative health effects is that electromagnetic fields activate voltage-gated calcium channels within cells, leading to an increase in intracellular calcium and many negative downstream effects. These effects include oxidative stress and impaired brain and heart function. I’m only scratching the surface on the health risks associated with electromagnetic fields, but even if the evidence stopped here, there is clearly a need to at least take a precautionary approach with our exposure.

  But let’s set aside for a moment both the scientific evidence and what Edgar said in the letter, and pretend that there isn’t enough evidence of harm from non-native, electromagnetic fields to warrant changing our behavior. Now ask yourself, how much evidence would you need to make the decision to change your behavior? What would it take? Would you just wait until the government or industry make changes to protect you? Or would you take the initiative to protect yourself? If you decide to wait for someone else to do it, you’re probably going to be too late. What I’m saying is that we all need to take responsibility and think critically about these things. Seize that power within yourself.

  Part of that process is to recognize that this ritual, like the others, is about reconnecting us with nature. The fire ritual reconnects us with natural light, the water ritual with natural water, and the air ritual with natural energy fields. Over the past hundred years or so, we’ve messed around with light, water, and electromagnetism without regard for any possible negative consequences. Who are we to think that we know better than Mother Nature?

  The natural fields of the earth include the earth’s magnetic field and the Schumann resonance. The Schumann resonance is an extremely low-frequency field created by the energy from lightning strikes that fills the space between the earth’s surface and the ionosphere. Research has shown that the frequencies of the Schumann resonance and the human brain are very similar. There seems to be a natural tendency for the brain’s frequencies to synchronize with the Schumann resonance. This synchronization has many health benefits, including regulation of the body’s circadian rhythm. However, exposure to artificial fields, which have much higher power densities than the natural frequencies of the earth, can impair the body’s ability to sense and achieve coherence with the Schumann resonance.

  It’s scary to think that, even if you had unlimited wealth and resources and made every effort, you still wouldn’t be able to completely avoid exposure to artificial fields. But the air ritual is one of minimization rather than complete avoidance, and you can make lifestyle changes that exponentially reduce your exposure levels. This has been something I have been trying to do over the years, and like with the other rituals, I will now become even more vigilant about it.

  Electromagnetic field strength follows an inverse square law, so that as you increase your distance away from any source of radiation, you decrease the field strength of your exposure by the inverse square of the increase in distance. This means that even small increases in distance will exponentially reduce the strength of the field to which you are exposed.

  The first step in reducing your exposure is to consider everything that happens within a few feet of you throughout the day. If you are carrying a cell phone in your pocket all day, that is probably your highest exposure source. The best option is to get rid of the phone altogether. I recognize that you probably think this is impossible, but do understand that your attachment to your cell phone is an addiction. The phone’s hardware and software has been designed in a way to frequently stimulate the dopamine reward system within your brain. You can try to reduce your use, but just like with other addictions, it may be best to quit cold turkey.

  If you are going to keep your cell phone, you can do things like use speakerphone rather than holding it up to your head during calls. You can also keep your phone in airplane mode when you carry it in your pocket. You might also want to go through your phone and delete as many of the apps as possible. Over time, you may find that you’re using your phone less and less, and maybe one day you can just get rid of it completely. I realize that many of you are listening to this podcast on your cell phone. If you’re going to do that, your best option is to download the episodes and then listen to them in airplane mode.

  You are probably also exposed to radiofrequency fields from wireless technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Although these fields are typically not as strong as cell phone fields, they can still be problematic, especially at close proximity. Your best option is to use a wired internet connection and to use your devices in airplane mode.

  Also consider the electric grid, which presents issues with both the electric current and smart meters. Smart meters use radiofrequencies to communicate with the electric company about your energy usage.

  You can call your electric company to determine if you have a smart meter and, if so, request they replace it with an analogue version. They may or may not be amenable to such a request. If you’re forced to have a smart meter, there are ways to reduce your exposure, which include avoiding spending time in rooms near the meter. It is unwise, for example, to have the head of your bed on the wall opposite the meter.

  With any field exposure, it can be useful to measure the fields you’re exposed to instead of just guessing. There are many devices available that measure radiofrequency fields, as well as electric and magnetic fields. Accurate testing is a critical step to reducing your exposure. Without testing, it can be challenging and often unpredictable to know your exposure level.

  Regarding the electric power grid, the good news is that these fields do not travel as far as radiofrequency fields. The bad news is that high exposure to electric fields can cause just as many, if not more, negative health effects. Generally, you want to keep at least few feet away from electric devices, as well as wires, cords, and outlets. Remember that many electrical wires run through walls and floors, so testing your environment is important.

  As Edgar said, the most critical time to minimize your exposure is at night while you sleep. Make sure to do a thorough check of your bedroom to measure your field exposure. You might need to consider moving your bed to another room. Definitely consider what is on the other side of the wall at the head of your bed. You don’t want things like a smart meter, breaker box, refrigerator, or Wi-Fi router anywhere near you while you sleep. And please do not sleep with your cell phone in your bedroom. Some people even keep their phone under their pillow while they sleep. Definitely don’t do that. If you must have a cell phone in your bedroom while you sleep, put it in airplane mode at night. The same goes for Wi-Fi. If you aren’t ready to give up Wi-Fi yet, you can at least turn off the router at night while you sleep.

  The same applies to the electricity in your bedroom. At the very least, unplug any electric devices near you while you sleep, such as lamps or electric blankets. It is important to unplug such devices, because even when they are turned off, they often still carry an electric current. You probably don’t need any electricity in your bedroom while you sleep, so your best option might be to turn off the breaker to your bedroom at night.

  If you’re ready to take the next step in limiting your exposure, you might consider moving to an area with low population density so that you’re not exposed to the higher field strength that comes with urban environments. When evaluating a new residence, consider its proximity to power lines and cell towers. As new mobile technologies develop, it will become more and more difficult to get away from these fields. Even though it may be discouraging to see these changes in the environment, remember that there’s still a lot that is within your control that you can do to limit your exposure. I’ll post additional information and resources pertaining to the air ritual on my website at awakethefuture.com/air.

  Well, now I know Adrienne is the person who I need to help practice the rituals. I’ve already begun doing so, and Adrienne told me she has noticed a shift in her mind—a sense of clarity—since she started practicing them. She says she feels a sense of hope she’s n
ever felt before. She has always made the best of whatever life threw at her, but she never saw a light at the end of the tunnel like she does now. She says she thinks the rituals are helping her to develop a new perspective.

  Adrienne and I talked about what it might be that she would need to do in her life to help bring about the transformation of humanity. She predicts that it has something to do with bringing down the Corporation. Whatever it is, we both feel a monumental sense of responsibility in our lives and the immense pressure that goes along with that. Edgar was right. We need each other. I’m glad neither of us has to go about trying to do this alone.

  Before I close, I want to let you know that Adrienne and I are planning a special mission—something risky. Adrienne has actually been having a recurring dream about it. She had the same dream three times already. In it, she sees the two of us held at gunpoint by a group of men in suits, but each time, she wakes up before she finds out what happens next. She feels it might be some kind of premonition, but it isn’t going to stop us from carrying out our mission. However, the dream has prompted Adrienne to adjust the plan so that it doesn’t put us at unnecessary risk. She says she doesn’t see any reason to put us in a situation where both of us could end up being held at gunpoint, and if one of us is going to take that risk, it should be the trained assassin and not the nutritionist.

  I don’t know how this mission will go, so I’m telling you this just in case things don’t go as planned. I don’t think this will be the last episode, but even if only three rituals make it public, it’s clear to me we can still make a significant impact on the world. Continue to practice the rituals. Continue to share this message. Hopefully, I’ll be back soon with another letter, and maybe some other exciting news as well. Talk to you soon.

  EPISODE 6:

  THE EARTH RITUAL

  October 21, 2018

  I suppose I should start by telling you about all the things that have happened that might affect the fate of humanity, but instead, I’m going to start by telling you about my relationship with Adrienne. I’m hesitant to share these details with you. It’s not my nature to want to talk about my personal life with strangers, much less the world, but I want to be transparent with you. I don’t know which parts of this journey are most important to share. Maybe it will be my personal story that will help you do more with the rituals in your life. At the very least, I want to be honest with you.

  Even though Adrienne and I are soulmates, it doesn’t mean our relationship is some perfect fairytale. There is a fair amount of tension between us right now. I guess Edgar warned me about this. You would think that having the fate of the world on my shoulders would be my main concern, but I’m only human, and I’m easily distracted by emotions of the heart. My relationship with Adrienne weighs heavily on me right now.

  We find ourselves in a strange place, where day-to-day life blends with paranormal phenomena and international espionage. It’s all very surreal, like my life exists in a movie sometimes and just regular, normal life the rest of the time.

  A couple nights ago, during one of those moments of relative normalcy, Adrienne and I made dinner together and had an enjoyable time drinking wine and listening to music. When we sat down to eat, I became lost in her eyes. I felt like, looking into her eyes, I was looking into her soul. In that moment, I felt a connection with Adrienne that goes beyond just this lifetime. I told her that night, for the first time, that I love her. I told her that I love her in this life and across lives.

  I didn’t get the response I was hoping for. A few seconds of silence passed, which felt like an eternity, before Adrienne replied that she loved me too.

  We finished our dinner with minimal conversation, as Adrienne seemed to become more distant the rest of the night. It felt like she was a thousand miles away. I should have known better. She doesn’t like to talk about her feelings. I think she has conditioned herself to suppress a lot of those things. I can’t blame her. I know she carries with her a lot of regret and negative emotion. Her life has not been easy, both as a child and now. I would probably try to distance myself from my emotions in those circumstances, too.

  But it’s the moments when I look deeply into her eyes or when she cracks a genuine smile that I see beyond the wall she has spent a lifetime building up around her. She rarely shows her true, vulnerable self, but when I do get a glimpse of it, I feel that strong connection with her. I want to see more of that side of her, but the wall around her is pretty thick.

  When I feel the deeper connection between us, it makes me think about how our multitude of past encounters have shaped our souls into what they are today—how we helped, and also likely hurt, each other at different times throughout the evolution of our souls. I wonder about what is meant to happen between us in this life. The term “soulmate” is usually used to refer to someone you fall in love with, but soulmates can share other types of relationships too: friends, parents and children, perhaps even enemies. Each soulmate relationship has a purpose, one that helps the individuals achieve something greater within themselves or the world.

  I’m grateful that Adrienne has joined me in practicing the rituals each day. She tells me that she continues to feel they are benefiting her. I think the rituals are also helping us both stay grounded. They are a constant in our lives amid the chaos. They actually might be helping us confront the chaos. They are also something we can do together, which is always meaningful, at least to me.

  Each morning we go outside on the patio and watch the morning sunrise. We sit in our chairs for at least a half hour, absorbing the sunlight in silence. Even though we don’t talk during that time, I feel that sharing in that ritual makes us more connected. There’s something magical about sharing the dawning of a new day together.

  As much as the rituals might be helping us as individuals and as a couple, I know that Adrienne is still struggling. It’s hard for me to see her pull away as she tries to cope with so much on her own. I know she’s spent her life trusting only herself and taking care of her problems alone, and while I know she can handle it, I want to be there for her. I want to be someone she feels comfortable confiding in and relying on. It may just take time to build that trust. It doesn’t make it any less difficult for me in the meantime. The more she pulls away, the more I want to offer my help. I have to try to avoid pressing her, though. If she wants to take these things on by herself, I have to do my best to respect that.

  I suppose this could be a good thing. Maybe I need to compartmentalize my emotions, much like Adrienne does, or else I might get too distracted from the part of my life that entails trying to save humanity. Isn’t it weird how love can distract us from everything else, no matter how important those other things are? Maybe that’s not such a bad thing either. Maybe we need love to distract us sometimes.

  I asked Adrienne to read what I just read to you before I recorded it. I was pretty nervous to see her response.

  “I’m sorry you’re having a hard time dealing with all this,” she said, “but I need space to work through these things on my own.”

  “Of course,” I said. “I want you to have what you need. I’ll try to give you more space.”

  That’s what I told her, and I meant it, but it’s not easy to give someone space when you’re physically confined to the same safe house. We both rarely leave the house, other than when Adrienne goes to get food, water, and supplies. The safe house isn’t small, but it’s not huge either. We’ve got a living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and an office. That’s it.

  We spend most of our days apart doing our own things. Adrienne spends a lot of her time in the office researching the Corporation, while I spend my time either outside on the patio or in the dining room working on the podcast. In the evenings, we spend more time together. We take turns making dinner, and after the sun sets, we light some candles and either play chess or just talk. I try to keep the conversation light, as I know there are some topics Adrienne doesn’t want to discuss. It jus
t isn’t possible to give her a lot of physical space right now, but I can try to give her space in other ways.

  Although we’re usually doing our own things during the day, Adrienne and I spent a few days together recently preparing for our mission. The plan was to infiltrate the Corporation’s compound and obtain documents that include the names of the Corporation’s board members and their allies around the globe.

  In the days leading up to the mission, Adrienne continued to have the same recurring dream that I mentioned in the last episode. It became more and more vivid as the day of the mission approached. She said it became clear to her that the dream was about what might happen during our mission at the Corporation’s compound. She saw us inside the compound, wearing the exact same clothes and gear that we would take with us that night.

  The dream still didn’t show her what happened after we were held at gunpoint. She only saw us being escorted down a hallway, and that’s when she would wake up. We talked about what it could mean. Could her dream really be foreshadowing future events? We thought if it was possible to have dreams about past lives, why not dreams about future events within one’s current life? We considered how Edgar said our perception of time is something created by consciousness, that the future isn’t really all that different from the past. That means it just might be possible, through a dream state or other altered form of consciousness, to see what happens before it actually does.

  But as we have seen with Edgar’s letters, the future can be changed. Even if this was a true premonition of future events, that didn’t mean the future was set in stone. That was our hope anyway. As a result, Adrienne went out of her way to create a precise and detailed plan to prevent either of us from ever being held at gunpoint. At the very least, she made sure I was kept out of harm’s way. If anyone was going to be held at gunpoint, it would be her and her alone.
