144,000 Are YOU called? Have YOU Awakened? What did it cost you?

 The 144,000 spoken of in Scripture has become one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern spirituality.



Many New Age teachings reinterpret it as a frequency, a vibration, a state of consciousness, or an identity that almost anyone can claim. In doing so, the number loses its weight. It becomes symbolic of personal enlightenment rather than a profound calling. Religious interpretations make it sound like only 144,000 will be saved on this earth. Interpretation matters. I see it differently.

What does “saving” actually look like? If you think it means you’re going to be whisked away and safely placed in heaven while billions suffer - this doesn’t sound like God. Being saved means getting “unplugged”. I liken this to the matrix concept. But as seen in the movie, being unplugged is often unpleasant. It’s not what you thought. The reality is not as glamorous as the illusion we once thought was real….which is why some who are unplugged desire to go back so they can enjoy life again. Ignorance is bliss.

To me, the 144,000 is not a title to wear or a spiritual badge to collect. It is a calling.

I believe there will come a time when God awakens a specific number of people (which has already begun) through direct knowing, or “gnosis”, and it’s not just about giving them hidden knowledge, but to inject them with responsibility. Awakening is not a reward. It is the assignment.

God does not reveal truth just to satisfy a curiosity. He reveals truth because it demands embodiment.

Those who are called cannot simply return to the lives they lived before. Once illusion falls away, the pursuit of comfort, status, wealth, and worldly identity loses its grip. Something deeper begins to pull them.

The path is costly.

It may cost relationships because others no longer understand you. It may cost careers because success is no longer your highest pursuit. It may cost comfort, reputation, certainty, and even the identity you spent years building. You see through every illusion in others, every trauma, every pattern, every lie they tell themselves. And you must decide what you’re willing to be flexible on in order to maintain connection.

Throughout Scripture, God often strips away false foundations before entrusting someone with greater responsibility. The old self has to die before something new can emerge.

For that reason, I don’t believe those who are called necessarily live lives of outward blessing. Many may instead experience profound loss. Not as punishment, but as preparation. Everything they once depended upon is removed until the only thing left is God. Only then can a person serve without being owned by the world.

If this understanding is true, then the 144,000 are not an exclusive spiritual elite. They are servants. Sacrificing the human self and earthly pursuits for a higher calling. Their awakening is not about being chosen over others. It is about being chosen FOR the sake of others.

They become living reminders that another way of being is possible, not through force, not through fear, but through truth lived so completely that it awakens something dormant in everyone they encounter.

In that sense, they are not an army that conquers nations. They are an army that helps liberate human consciousness from illusion.

It is the beginning of a life that no longer belongs entirely to yourself. And perhaps this is the part that is least understood.

People often glorify awakening. They romanticize it. They turn it into something mystical, exciting, or desirable….as though awakening is a spiritual achievement to chase.

I don’t see it that way. Awakening is painful.

It dismantles the person you thought you were. It confronts your illusions. It exposes your attachments. It strips away identities you spent a lifetime building. It often leaves you feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unable to return to the life you once knew.

In many ways, awakening doesn’t feel like gaining something. It feels like losing everything….

Only later do you begin to understand that what was taken was never truly you or yours in the first place.

If there is any glory in awakening, it is not found in the experience itself. It is found in what remains after the fire has done its work….and in a life no longer lived for the self, but in service to truth alone.

PIP should be paid in vouchers?

"PIP should be paid in vouchers"  I'll explain in detail why this is a bad idea, but can I ask why all the solutions to the imagined mass fraud is to hurt disabled people more in the process? I'm sure some people think they're doing the right thing, many probably understand fine well it would hurt disabled people and they have forgotten they can become disabled at any point in their lives.  Instead of starting with how it would hurt us (disabled people) I'll explain how it would hurt the state.  It would cost MILLIONS to set up a whole IT system, set up partnerships with business, the amount of civil servants that would need to oversee invoices would just be immense. It would cost more than it would ever be intended to save, sort of like the current assessment system that sees tax payers cash endlessly going to tribunals because they've refused a disabled person help, 2/3rds of all claimants that take their case to full tribunal win. It again costs the sta...

PIP and how society treats the disabled.

  Maybe the real problem with society is that people don’t think disabled people should be allowed any joy. They have to stay in their homes, moping, being sad, and not having any fun. Because everyone else is really fucking miserable. Therefore, we have to be too. And this is why people have so much of a problem with what disabled people spend their money on. “ If they are spending my hard-earned cash, then they need to be miserable” “ They can’t have nice hair or lashes” heaven forbid a disabled person makes an effort with their appearance. “ They can’t drink or smoke” but what if that is a coping mechanism for them to stay alive? “ They can’t have holidays! I can't afford a holiday, so why should they get one!” People forget that PIP is not an out-of-work benefit; it is there to cover the costs of things associated with disability and independence. People also forget that disabled people may have a working partner, families who give them money, inherita...

A hectic morning

 It's 5am. The sun is shining with an orange-red glow on my net curtains, I had to capture it for you. I grabbed a coffee with collagen in it. Without the collagen my joints really hurt. Then I headed outside to water my herbs and get the washing in.  Its hot out there already in this heatwave we have been experiencing. Yes its been great for getting outdoor work done, but it is exhausting as there is little breeze and my fibromyalgia plays up big time in the heat. Not to mention I could go toxic on Lithium. Can't recommend this book enough! Really good read if you want to do any type of writing. There are no secrets or rules. You have to want to write like you not someone else. I have found this book invaluable. When I sit down and take a painkiller if my back is hurting too much, I read this book. It helps. With fibromyalgia, it can flare at any point. I had to catch a taxi home the other day as it felt like wading through waist-high wet sand with blood pouring out of the so...
