The microcosm of the human body reflects the macrocosm of the earth. Just as we can obtain energy through physical contact with the earth, we can also obtain and share that same energy through physical contact with each other. This applies to the other rituals as well. The human body produces photonic and electromagnetic energies, which we can share with each other much like nature produces and shares them with us.
By connecting with nature, you will obtain more of these energies to fuel your own body and consciousness, while also having more to share with others in your life. When we are disconnected, we are isolated, but when we are connected, we are one.
The fourth ritual is to connect to the earth and to connect as one.
Sincerely,
Edgar and Rhona
This morning I spoke with Adrienne about what had happened last night. She didn’t say much in response. I couldn’t tell if she didn’t know what to make of the whole thing, or if her mind was still occupied with trying to figure out how to fight the Corporation.
It’s frustrating that the Corporation still has a presence in Edgar’s world. I wish Adrienne and I could do more to take them down and help bring about a future in which Edgar is back with Rhona. Right now, the best I can do is share the earth ritual with you. Maybe that will be enough to bring Edgar back.
Like the other rituals, the earth ritual helps us connect with nature. Throughout most of our history, humans have been connected to the earth. We slept on the ground and walked on the earth with either bare feet or conductive, leather-soled shoes. Since the invention of rubber-soled shoes, our connection to the earth has been severed.
Not only does connecting to the earth make sense from an evolutionary perspective, there is also a fair amount of research demonstrating its health benefits. The surface of the earth is negatively charged, and the electrons that flow into the body from the earth act as antioxidants that help reduce inflammation. Research also shows that being connected to the earth lowers cortisol levels and has positive effects on heart rate variability, both of which indicate that it helps balance the body’s stress response.
When you are outside with your bare feet connected directly to the earth’s surface, you are grounded. You can also wear conductive, leather-soled shoes, but make sure the insole is also made of leather or other conductive material. Another great way to connect to the earth is by swimming in a natural body of water, like a lake or an ocean. It’s also worth noting that concrete is usually conductive, so you may be able to ground yourself on a concrete patio. Wood, however, is not conductive, so a wood deck or patio won’t work. However, if the wood is still alive in the form of a tree, then it is source of free-flowing electrons from the earth, so hugging a tree or climbing a tree can be a healthy habit.
There also are grounding, or earthing, products available on the market that can assist in connecting your body to the earth. If you choose to use these products, make sure you connect them directly to the earth with a grounding rod. Do not connect them to the ground connection of an electrical outlet, as it is common for many ground wires to carry frequencies from the electrical grid. It just isn’t worth the risk of plugging yourself into the electrical grid like that, so always connect directly to the earth.
Adrienne and I have a concrete patio outside the safe house, where we watch the sun rise with our bare feet connected to the earth. Whenever I’m out in the sun, I try to be connected. Similar to testing for electromagnetic fields, you can also test your connection to the earth. I’ll post information about doing this, as well as other resources about the earth ritual, on my site at awakethefuture.com/earth.
It’s really interesting what Rhona said about the microcosm reflecting the macrocosm. I hadn’t thought about it that way before, but it makes sense. You collect nature in your being and then share it with others much like nature shares it with you. I have to wonder if that’s part of what I need to share with Adrienne so that she can fulfill her purpose. Maybe it’s not just about helping her practice the rituals, but also about sharing with her the energies I obtain from practicing them. I hope you have people in your life with whom you can share your nature. The more time you spend in nature, the more you will have to give to those you love and care about. Better yet, spend time in nature together.
It’s cool how all the rituals so far tie together. We need sunlight to power our body’s battery, which requires pure forms of water and avoidance of artificial fields to be fully charged, and we need to be connected to the earth to get the most from the sun’s energy.
I can see how bringing all these things together, over time, can make a huge difference in one’s health, and ultimately, help bring about the greatest potential for human consciousness. I think part of the reason the rituals are so powerful is our ability to share the energies we obtain from practicing them with each other. In that way, the rituals may have an exponential effect as the energies spread out over the network of people in our lives. If we’re going to make the most out of practicing the rituals, we have to not only connect with nature, but also connect with others.
As I think about the impact of these rituals on one’s life and on others, I can’t help but wonder if they also have an impact across reincarnations. Maybe practicing the rituals in this life will help to promote a higher state of consciousness in the next life. Maybe the energies we obtain by practicing the rituals can be accumulated and retained for future lifetimes to come. The rituals seem to impact us on such a deep level that they might just create a lasting impact on our souls across future lives. It’s pretty profound to think that practicing the rituals in my lifetime may benefit Edgar in his.
That’s all for now. One more ritual to go. We’re almost there. Keep listening. Keep sharing. Keep practicing the rituals. Talk to you soon.
EPISODE 7:
TRUTH
November 3, 2018
Adrienne, if you’re listening to this, I want you to know that I still love you. I want you to know that you don’t have to do this alone.
Okay, in case you couldn’t tell from that, Adrienne left.
In the days before she left, she spent many sleepless nights on the couch in the living room. When I would ask her what was wrong, she would just say that she was okay and turn away. No matter what I did or said, she seemed to tune me out. I could tell she wanted to deal with these things on her own, so I did my best to respect that.
She left about a week ago. It was during the night while I was asleep. When I woke up alone in the bedroom that morning, I thought I would find her sleeping on the couch as usual, but this time she was gone. All I found was a short note on the coffee table that said:
Adam,
I need to go. I can’t put you at risk anymore. I’ve been having another dream about the future, and I can’t let it come true. Please don’t try to find me or communicate with me. I’m sorry.
—Adrienne
I took that pretty hard. I felt abandoned. I considered us a team, working together toward the common goal of helping the world. I couldn’t imagine ever leaving her in the middle of that, but I know her mind works very differently than mine.
The night before she left, she told me she didn’t think she knew how to be my soulmate. It was hard for me to hear her say that. I know she is trying to sort out a lot of things right now, and working on a relationship isn’t her top priority. I just wish she didn’t always want to confront her demons alone.
She seems to have a built an impenetrable wall around her that prevents anyone from seeing her true self. She used that wall to keep me at a distance. I’m honestly not sure if things will ever change between us. Maybe someday we’ll be able to build a healthy relationship with each other, but maybe not. I guess even soulmates aren’t always meant for each other. Maybe this was the plan all along. Maybe Adrienne and I were only supposed to be together for a short period of time. Maybe we already fulfilled our purpose together in this life, and it’s time to move on. I can’t dwell on what I
no longer have with her. I’m grateful we had the time together we did.
Knowing Adrienne, she is probably planning to go solo to try to take down the Corporation. I hope she doesn’t do anything that puts herself at risk, but I have a feeling she isn’t thinking about what is best for herself right now. I feel like she is willing to risk everything just to try to right the wrongs of her past. I wish she didn’t feel like she had to go about that alone, but I think she realizes I would put her wellbeing above all else. And she’s not wrong about that.
I wanted to chase after her, but I knew I had to let her go. It was hard to deal with. I got down on myself. But the next night, I got another letter from Edgar, and my focus shifted back to the mission at hand. Here’s what it said:
Dear Adam,
When Rhona returned from writing the last letter, I was back home, safe and sound. In the world she returned to, I was planning to go back and write you the same letter she had just written. She had to tell me about what happened in her previous version of reality and how she had already written you the letter with the fourth ritual. While my current consciousness experienced each branching reality that occurred after I wrote the previous letters, I did not experience the reality in which I was abducted by the Corporation. That branch of reality ceased to exist after Rhona went back to write you the last letter, and my consciousness did not experience the continuity between the old branch and the new branch like Rhona’s consciousness did. Essentially, my consciousness skipped that branch of reality. Thankfully, Rhona has been able to fill in the gaps for me and provide the details that I missed.
One of the amazing changes in my present reality is that, even though you and I are both well known in this world, I no longer have any need to be in hiding. The Corporation is no longer in existence, at least not in any organized manner. That’s just one more sign we are heading in the right direction with the letters and the podcast.
Another important sign is the work that my organization now does. We no longer study the Awakened Beings I described previously since roughly half the world’s population, myself and my family included, now possess this level of consciousness. I wish I could better describe to you what it is like to be elevated to this state of mind. I feel like I’m always in a flow state that is rooted in compassion and love. I experienced moments like this in past versions of my life, but what was once only fleeting is now a constant state of mind.
It’s worth noting that having a higher level of consciousness does not mean I experience only positive emotions. I still have the complete array of human emotions in this state, but the perception of the meaning of every thought and experience is heightened. I can now see how everything is connected, and I am aware of the deeper meaning that underlies all things. This heightens my experience of both positive and negative events, both in my personal life and in the world around me. When something happens in the world, I feel it. It’s real to me, as if it actually happened to me.
I don’t think this is something I would have been able to handle in my previous consciousness. It takes a deeper understanding of the nature of existence to allow the mind to take in the world at this level. It’s like the filter within my mind has been turned off, and I’m able to take it all in. Just turning off the filter alone without being able to process the influx of information would likely result in mental illness or worse. There is a reason that a mind operating at a lower level filters the world in the way it does. It’s a matter of self-preservation. At a higher state of consciousness, however, the filter becomes an unnecessary hindrance.
I can also tell you that it is undeniable that the five rituals will help you move closer to this state. I can literally feel that connection when I practice the rituals in my daily life. This is particularly true when I am grounded to the earth in the morning sunlight. Every morning I feel a profound sense of connection to the world around me and to what lies ahead.
We have also done extensive research on what effects the rituals have on this higher level of consciousness. It is clear from our work that a higher level of consciousness relies even more heavily on the power of the rituals. The more advanced your consciousness is, the more you need the power of sunlight, water, natural fields, and the earth in your life. Individuals who possess this higher level of consciousness but do not practice the rituals are not able to demonstrate the same cognitive abilities as those who do practice them. In fact, many individuals who have a standard level of consciousness and practice the rituals daily achieve higher scores on our tests than those who possess a higher state of consciousness but do not practice them.
Not only does half the population possess this higher level of consciousness, a small group of the population now possesses an even higher level than that. We call them “Transcendent Beings.” It seems that humanity is climbing a ladder toward higher and higher rungs of consciousness. It is not clear if this new state is the highest rung, or if there is the potential to move even higher still.
Much of my work in this life involves studying these beings of superlative consciousness. I would tell you more about them, but their traits are indescribable through words. These individuals exist on a plane that no one else understands. While they help those around them and participate in our research, they are beyond the world that the rest of us live within. It is clear, however, that they are working toward achieving something great in their own right, but they are unable to communicate what that is in a way that anyone else understands. Despite this divide in our understanding, they still treat everyone with a great deal of patience and compassion.
These beings have expressed deep gratitude for what you and I have done together. They thank us for sharing the rituals with the world, as these beings even more heavily rely on practicing the rituals to activate their minds. They rarely spend time indoors, except when it is necessary to help others. They often insist upon bringing individuals outdoors and sometimes to their communities in the wilderness. Individuals who spend time with these beings are frequently transformed by the experience and report a newfound sense of purpose in their life.
It is difficult for me to imagine what the new version of my life will be like after you share all five rituals. I, with the help of Rhona, have given you four of the five rituals so far. The fifth ritual, however, is not one I can share with you through a letter. The fifth and final ritual is one that you must go and find yourself. Where you must go, I will tell you at the end of this letter.
The four rituals thus far are the rituals of the natural elements. The elements of air, water, earth, and fire are the lifeblood of human consciousness. They awaken and connect the body, mind, and soul. They allow the human mind to reach its full potential, and are the foundation that has allowed human consciousness to evolve into its present state in my world.
Through our work in sharing these rituals, we have given humanity the possibility of continuing its evolution toward a higher state of consciousness. I have seen with my own eyes the progress of this transformation every time I return from writing these letters. It is astounding how a connection with nature, through these rituals, can bring about such profound effects.
The first four rituals are not, however, an end in themselves, but rather a path toward achieving a higher purpose. These four rituals alone do not bring forth the next level of humanity. They only lay the groundwork for that transformation. This does not mean that these rituals are unimportant. Quite the contrary. Without the first four rituals, your ability to practice the fifth will be severely compromised. Only by unlocking the door of consciousness with the first four rituals can you then walk through the doorway of transformation with the fifth.
The inherent nature of the fifth ritual is one of discovery. That is why I cannot give it to you; it must be found. It is through your sharing of your journey in finding this fifth ritual that your listeners will be able to understand the nature of its meaning. It is through the process of discovery that understanding the fifth ritual is possible.

I know that receiving these letters and sharing them with the world has been challenging for you. It has cost you greatly, and you have been attacked in many ways for your efforts. There are those in your world who believe in what you are sharing and those who doubt. However, almost everyone has some degree of doubt no matter how convinced they are of the truth. I know there still even exists some doubt in you, despite your conviction and sacrifice in sharing this message with the world.
For you to discover the fifth ritual, it is important to cast aside all doubt. Proof is the way to overcome doubt, but in this case, proof can only be achieved through faith. The rational mind contests with the supposition of faith beyond reason, but you must take a leap of faith in order to find your proof and dispel all doubt. Only one path will lead you there. That path is death.
When I traveled to the realm between lives, I learned about what you needed to do to discover the fifth ritual. You must die, and visit the realm between lives yourself. There, you will learn the fifth ritual from the beings of light, and you will be granted the ability to return to your life to share the final ritual with the world.
I was not given the details of how you would die to fulfill this purpose. I was only told that your path toward death is part of the process of finding the fifth ritual, and you must journey on this path without me.
I have faith in you to carry out this final phase of the plan. It is the only way for us to complete our mission. You have faced great difficulty in every step of this journey, and I trust in your ability to overcome this last great hurdle.
Godspeed,
Edgar
