That information is pretty easy to find. Our clients are a little different. They want more than to just write and publish a book. They want to make an impact. Maybe you relate to this? You’ve got a wish, a hope, a snarled up frustrated feeling in your gut that you’ve got something important to share with the world. You watch other people do it. Maybe you even hear other people say things that you know you could say better…but you never act on it. Or you start, get in the weeds, get too busy, go round and round with it, but never get it done. In some cases, you never even get it started. Today we share with you a powerful piece of intelligence we’ve dispensed to our clients over and over again during our combined 60 years in publishing and visibility coaching. We can get you published, produce your podcast, or get you up on stage - no problem. (We have all of that “in house” and a team of the world’s leading experts who can help you get to the top of bestseller lists, get your Voice out into the world, and help you craft a powerful signature talk.) The tactics and techniques to do this are pretty boiler plate and there are a lot of good people out there who can help you with this. But the one thing we do best, is help you find your Chief Aim so that your very presence in a room creates impact.

When you devalue yourself, you’re often driven by a need to prove your value to others as a way of compensating for your own inner sense of lack. But there's a flip side to this issue that we don't address. What if people love your work? What if you slide across the finish line as the best in your field? This can create a different kind of prison of constantly seeking the approval of others as validation for your creativity. Either way, whether you think you're not enough or your not enoughness causes you to get drunk on the approval of others, it stops us short in our creative explorations. Join Karen Curry Parker on Cosmic Revolution for some bite-size thoughts on how to move past a desire for approval from others so you can allow your marvelous and authentic voice to be heard across the world. Please visit www.quantumalignmentsystem.com to discover how you can activate your relentless and authentic self-expression.

I keep coming back to a contemplation I heard once that transformed the way I think about my life - especially when it’s hectic and a wee bit out of control: How can I turn my “have to” into an “I get to”? My husband is having cancer surgery this Friday. He’s having some pretty serious health challenges and it’s making me have to put things into perspective. I am grateful. Or at least I am working hard to stay in a place of gratitude. This is a pretty hard attitude to maintain some days. It’s been a long couple of years trying to stay resilient during a pandemic, homeschooling, and supporting a 12-year-old with some serious anxiety, almost losing my oldest daughter due to complications of Covid-19 and pregnancy, running my business from home, trying to stay connected with my children, my grandchildren, and family all over the country, worrying about my son in the Army, trying to take care of my aging parents who live all the way at the other side of the country…and more. Much more, if I actually make a list. I know many of you have gone through the same kinds of challenges. Your Quantum Human Design teaches you how to redefine your story and write a personal narrative that is easy to be grateful for. You can learn more about Quantum Human Design by visiting http://quantumhumandesign.com/. I’m Karen Curry Parker and I’m deeply grateful for you. Thank you for joining me for Cosmic Revolution.

I was in middle school the first time I heard the expression, “Knowledge is Power.” I was the ultimate nerd in middle school. I spent my afternoons indulging in my obsession over lichens, traipsing through the vacant fields behind our luxury apartment with my magnifying glass and collection plates. I went to a small international school in Germany where I was able to take bonus classes in the high school. All twelve grades were housed in the same building, so I only had to walk across the gymnasium to my advanced biology class where I’d absorb all the information that they threw at me while I crushed on the cute Scottish boy who sat next to me. For most of the day I was in classes with my same-aged peers. When my teacher shared the phrase, “Knowledge is Power” with us I distinctly remember taking a good, long, slow look at the kids in the classroom and thinking that this phrase is distinctly not true. If knowledge is “power,” then I wouldn’t be picked on mercilessly in class. The boys, who just the day before, had positioned a bucket of water in the corner of the classroom door which had unceremoniously dumped onto our teacher, wouldn’t still be here in the classroom. If knowledge was power, we’d be able to get through our daily lessons without having to stop because the class was talking too much or distracted by a completely non-sequitur topic. And I wouldn’t always be the last one picked in P.E. I had, what felt like to me, a lot of knowledge, but very little power. Like many of you, I felt like that a lot of my life. What Sir Francis Bacon didn’t lay out in his brilliant statement is specifically what kind of knowledge do you need to have to be powerful. Obviously, it isn’t knowledge about lichens - or - from my more adult perspective, knowledge about how to soothe a newborn baby, how to fix a hearty bowl of soup to feed your family when funds are tight, or how to emotionally prop up an anxious 12-year-old during a pandemic. What kind of knowledge was Sir Francis Bacon actually referring to? Over time this statement has often been used to highlight the importance of education. More recently, this statement refers to being “in the know” about conspiracy theories. We’ve spent a lot of time exploring the idea of knowledge, which is this day and age is a highly mutable concept. What is knowledge? Who decides what is knowledge? Or, on a more frightening note, what is truth? Maybe it’s time, instead of trying to understand what defines knowledge, we look at this statement through the exploration of what is power? In the material world and through the lens of material consciousness, power is force. Power is controlled by numbers and how much access you have to material resources. Basically, those with the most toys win. The knowledge that defines this kind of power is the ability to know how to take seize, hustle, hoard, usurp, and steal resources. This knowledge teaches us how to play a zero-sum game and come out as the winner. Because this is a zero-sum game, no one wins until a certain group of people have power over the vast majority of the resources. We are living on the very edge of this formula and if we continue this game a whole lot of us are going to lose. But we no longer live in the material era. Science has shown us that the world isn’t really a material world. It’s a quantum world. The material world is simply an artifact of a quantum reality that plays according to a different set of rules. In the quantum world, the person who “wins” and has the most amount of power, is the person who builds a big enough field of quantum information that eventually drops into material formation once it reaches a critical mass. Quantum science has shown us that manifestation is influenced by emotional alignment. We now understand that the cosmos itself is biased towards unity, coherence and advanced states of organization and goals and intentions that are in alignment with this core bias are more powerful than those...

You are a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event. To find out more about how to continue your dreams and make a difference in your world, visit Karen Curry Parker at quantumalignmentsystem.com Produced by Number Three Productions, numberthreeproductions.com My husband is an architect. He is 71 years old and still likes to design spaces by hand. His office has several large drawing boards covered with paper that he uses. You can find him most nights hunched over a board, mechanical pencil in hand, drawing and designing. He has BIG (negative) feelings about computer software programs that do the designing and drawing for you. Part of why architectural computer programs frustrate him so much is that he feels like they disconnect you from what you’re doing. The ease of moving design elements and pushing buttons takes you out of the core essence of the design process and the physical experience of using a pencil to access more than just binary options. Computer designing disconnects you from the impact of your creativity and your actions. Computer design makes it easy to stop responding to the needs of your clients. I feel the same way about journaling with a pen versus writing with a computer. If you look up the word “architect” on the internet, you’ll find that the term now applies more to the digital world than to the deliberate and conscious design of spaces in the material world. To “architect” is a term now more commonly associated with software design than building physical places. The internet uses words like “site”, “space” and “place” as if there is a physical reality to software design when there is not. The gap created between physical and virtual realms is the difference in the way we treat one another. No reasonable and good human would communicate with another human the ways trolls treat each other online or with the ease at which we can text and email each other terrible things without much thought. Physical reality grows from virtual reality. When we speak to each other in the physical world the way we speak to each other in the virtual world, we’ve crossed into a different reality where internet troll behavior sometimes becomes acceptable in the physical world. It’s easy to think that the virtual world represents physical reality and certainly in the past few years, as the stress of this transition we’re in has held us all firmly in its claws, it seems that our outer world is a representation of the careless use of the influence of the virtual world. And yet… I’ve marveled over the past few years at how, when I go out into the physical world and actually connect with people, how people are, by far, overwhelmingly kind and loving towards each other. We recently purchased a house in a small farming town in Wisconsin. It’s an unusual town, a mix of hippies, co-housing communities, food activists, organic farmers and climate refugees from California who coexist with traditional dairy farmers and the Amish. We bought a house here because it’s an incredible place that truly embodies the energy of “community.” Even though I’ve met a lot of people who are nothing like me at all, I’ve been met with nothing but kindness, loving curiosity, and a desire to be good neighbors. My point is this. A small percentage of the people in the world are affecting a large portion of what we are experiencing and our consequent perception of reality. If we look at the world through the lens of math, 80% of the resources of the world are controlled by 20% of the people. 20 percent of your efforts in life net 80% of the results. This is called the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 Rule. The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes, often referred to as the “vital few.” Our experience of our outer reality is being influenced by 20% of the world. How much of what we see in the world - the news, social media, movies, TV - is influenced by a disproportionate perspective of a...

What’s rarer than the hope diamond? More precious than any gem? You. The pandemic has brought us some interesting gifts and contemplations. Many of us are beginning to redefine abundance and success. We’re asking ourselves how much is enough and realizing that the complexity of having too much is stressful. We are moving towards a new Global Cycle that will start in 2027. We’re already deep into the edges of this theme that promises to help us redefine abundance. This Global Cycle is rooted in the mastery of faith as our most powerful source of creativity. We are learning to trust Source, to know that we are fully supported and to excel at the art of emotional alignment as our most creative power. I have long said that the term “abundance” is up for re-definition. Our culture correlates abundance with having a lot of things and money. We measure the “net worth” of a person by how much money they have and the value of their assets. When we measure value with how many “things” we own and how much money we have, we are using a metric that is exclusive, competitive, and rooted in an outdated evolutionary theme that implies only the “fit” survive. We’re also gauging our worth on the material plane. The Truth is you are precious and valuable beyond measure because you exist. Because. You. Exist. We are each a once-in-a-lifetime-cosmic-event, more rare than the Hope Diamond or any other precious gem. When we try to prove our worth or overcompensate for our internal lack of self-worth by having too much stuff, we exhaust ourselves, we look at the world through eyes that reflect back to us the vibration of “not enough” and we stay desperate for more and more. This desperation is the most destructive energy on the planet right now. Covid is inviting us to contemplate how much is enough. We are learning to trust in our sufficiency, living with the awareness that we’ll know what we need to know when we need to know it and we’ll have what we need to have when we need to have it. This cycle promises to train us to trust in our “enough-ness” and, because we will no longer be scrapping and fighting to prove our value, our creative energy will be turned towards finding the elegant solutions to the challenges facing humanity and beyond. We truly are standing on the very edge of a Creative Revolution. You play a vital role in this revolution. Your own personal healing of your internal sense of your worth is THE MOST important thing you can do to heal the planet right now. When you do that, everything that emanates from you will be sustainable and influential on a deep level. Do the work. The planets, and the world, and the universe, and your divine siblings have their “hands” on your back. They are pushing you into a curriculum of healing that will transform your life and the world. Do the work. You deserve it. I’m humbled to be on the planet with you, dear Cosmic Revolutionary, at this very pivotal time. You are a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event.

Every year we begin the New Year by sowing the seeds of our dreams, born of our imagination. As we begin this new year, as Cosmic Revolutionaries on a journey to transform the world, let’s unify our minds and hold a vision of the world we’re building together. Let’s imagine a world of sustainable, equitable peace - a world where everyone is abundant, well fed, and has easy access to sustainable sources of clean water. A world where all people have easy access to integrated health care that supports the full expression of their health and vitality. A world where all people feel loved, empowered, and able to make their unique contribution to the world. A world where we all heal the karma and the pain of the past and only bring forward the lessons and the blessings from what we’ve experienced, and the intention to write a new story of humanity that is equitable and just. A world where we take our direction in life from our spiritual connection and our connection to the unique, vital and irreplaceable role that only we can play – where we are guided by our desire to contribute to the greater good of humanity and we embrace the many diverse spiritual paths that we collectively and individually choose to follow. Let’s imagine a world where everyone is safe from war, hatred, discrimination, and terror. Where we see the Heart of each other and we honor the unique expression of each and every one of us. A world where we are free to choose who and how we love, and we embrace the many faces and facets of love. A world where we embody the understanding that WE are because YOU are, and without YOU, each and every one of you, We would not be who We are. A world where all children are loved, nurtured, and welcomed. Where all people are free and have easy access to education and can follow their dreams and their destinies – and are celebrated on their unique journey of discovery and mastery. Where experience is honored and valued and we understand that sometimes wisdom can only come from experience and time so that not only do we celebrate our children, we celebrate our mothers, our fathers, our grandmothers, and our grandfathers. A world where words are used to uplift, create, empower, love, and honor each other. A world where we live in alignment with nature and where we assume our place as humble inhabitants and care for our planet and her resources with the deep awareness that each of our individual actions have the capacity to affect us all. A world where we honor all sentient beings and serve as sacred stewards for this breathtaking and awe- inspiring planet. We see ourselves living in a world where our natural state of wonder in connection with our true creative power is kept alive and celebrated and where everyone honors their unique gifts and knows that each life is a precious once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event. Where the extremes of life cause us to take rapid and compassionate action for the sake of others. Where we nurture love and value ourselves and our own unique contribution to the world. A world where we know death is inevitable, so we dance with the vulnerability and joy of life knowing that each moment is precious and that all manifestations of life are precious. We see a world of sustainable resources and, consequently, sustainable peace, and we hold that vision with faith, confidence, and the open awareness that the solutions and manifestations we seek are already on their way. And we embrace where we are right now knowing that we are exactly where we need to be, enveloped fully in the energy of Love, fully present, and ready to take the next necessary steps ready to evolve the world. Thank you for joining me in co-creating this vision. Thank you for being the unique, vital, and irreplaceable part of the Divine Plan that you are. You are a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event.

Do you feel like a leader but you don’t know how or what to do next? You can feel that the economy is changing, business is changing, politics are changing, people are changing, and yet, in the middle of being the powerful futurist you are, you’re also grappling with your own ancestral patterns, doubt and uncertainty about exactly how to fulfill your role as a leader in this new world we are birthing. The very first and most important step in being a good leader is to be in alignment with your Authentic Self, to use your will power in service to your Higher Purpose and to do so without hidden agendas rooted in the fear of lack or in an attempt to prove your value. You have nothing to prove. When you are in alignment with your Authentic Self you create with coherence. When you are in a state of coherence, you automatically hold a high vibrational frequency. Being in alignment with this high frequency means you’re able to influence the energy in the room - without even having to do anything. The big theme of 2022 is that it’s time for us to build our “base.” Time to get to the foundation of healing and clarity. Time to start taking the vital steps to laying a foundation of the future - a foundation this is big enough and strong enough to hold all of humanity during this transformative time. All around the world, leaders like you are building community, creating with compassion and intention, unifying others around innovative ideas, exploring new ways of sharing, creating and being together. We are creating the critical mass of change necessary to move the world forward.

There’s a pressure to create revolutions that sometimes causes us to martyr ourselves to the process of creating change. We buy into the old expectation that there is a payoff for hard work, we push against right timing and the right conditions for change at great cost to our own health and sustainability. Maybe it’s time for us to start a Revolution of Rest. Perhaps instead of congratulating each other on how hard we’re working; we should start really acknowledging each other for how well we’re resting! When you understand the unique, vital and the irreplaceable role that only you can play in the Cosmic Plan, you automatically understand the VALUE of who you are. You are precious and essential, worthy of rest, restoration and receiving the support you need to be who you are and contribute to the world the things that only you can contribute.

There are 13 Key Disciplines that can help you navigate the changing times ahead. Following these 13 disciplines can help you cultivate resiliency during times of massive change. Now is the time to let go of old habits, patterns, thoughts, actions, relationships, jobs and situations that are no longer in alignment with what you intend to create. We cannot afford to be lazy in our intentions and thinking. Yes, our neurobiology and our habits make it easy to fall back on old programming. To make changes requires consistent application and discipline. The more you practice, the easier it gets. Your ultimate responsibility is to live true to yourself and your desires, with the understanding that when you live true to yourself, you live in alignment with God and your motivations will be to harm no others. When the heat is on and your experience seems too challenging and difficult, stop and redirect your focus on what you want to be experiencing, what you desire to feel in the situation, and hold your attention and emotions in that place to the best of your ability.

We have a choice to accept a time of suffering and destruction or to take the reins of creation into our hands and become the stewards of a new era for humanity. Either way, we play a powerful role in co-creating, with God, the world we participate in. The real question is which destiny will we choose? In this exciting time on the planet, ancient understandings of the human power to create a different world, if we choose, have resurfaced. We are being invited to participate in a new reality that requires us to activate the Divinity within us and to serve as co-creators of a powerful new earth. Creation is a logical process. The Universe and God act in an ordered way. Science continues to deepen our understanding of the mechanics of our creative capacities. Our thoughts trigger the manifestation of specific neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters create an emotional response. Our emotions influence a powerful electro-magnetic field in our heart which in turn draws into our lives experiences that match the frequencies of our heart. Once you learn to harness this process consciously, it becomes a predictable formula that you can follow again and again and again.

What if, as Cosmic Revolutionaries, our role isn’t to run from low energy and hide from really good sci-fi novels, but to bring our highly aligned frequencies onto the planet? To find out more about how to continue your dreams and make a difference in your world, visit Karen Curry Parker at quantumalignmentsystem.com. We at the Cosmic Revolution love to read science fiction. Not because we're big believers in dark apocalyptic prophesies and dystopian realities. We actually like to read science fiction, especially science fiction written by black women, because we think the medium of science fiction allows for the full expression of emotions and shows the shadow of the pain of exclusion and disempowerment. Also, it’s an expression of creativity that has permission to be wildly out of the box. Recently, Karen had a copy of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jesimin sitting on my kitchen table when a friend of hers came to visit. She delicately picked up the boxed set, looked at the images and the title and quickly set it down, a look of fear on her face. She started brushing the air as if she was shoosing a fly. Karen asked her what was she was doing. “I’m clearing the vibe” she said. "That book has some dark energy and it immediately grabbed my aura. I don’t like negative things…” Karen stared at her for a minute and wondered how much of a physics lecture she could endure in her energetically compromised state. She decided to keep my mouth shut. Sometimes holding on to a good vibe takes self-regulation. Actually, holding on to a good vibe ALWAYS takes self-regulation. If you can stretch your mind back to the physics classes we took in high school, you might remember the lessons we learned about vibrations and the amplitude and frequency of waves. High frequency vibrational waves move quickly with lots of small, rapid undulations. Low frequency vibrational waves move more slowly with longer times spent in the valleys and peaks of the waves. We are vibrational beings. Each and every one of us carries a vibrational signature that is measurable. The higher our vibration, the more immune we are to the impact of the daily ups and downs of life. The lower our vibration, the more dramatic and intense everything feels. Higher vibrations entrain lower vibrations. In other words, a higher vibe can pull up a lower vibe, but not the other way around. Lower vibrations cannot lower a higher vibration unless you allow it. It’s not personal. It’s simply physical law. There’s a difference between being an empath and having your energy field highjacked by someone else’s energy. You can feel low vibe energy. But just because you feel it doesn’t mean you have to absorb it. In fact, the more you hold your own energy, the more you can shift the vibe in the room. What if, as Cosmic Revolutionaries, our role isn’t to run from low energy and hide from really good sci-fi novels, but to bring our highly aligned frequencies onto the planet? Are you able to stand strongly enough in your own vibe, open up your CNN News page, and just beam energy to all the challenges on the planet? What if you didn’t buy into the realities you read or hear about and simply hold true to your own narrative? It’s a practice. A practice that takes time and patience. Here’s a quick hack. When you’re in a situation that feels intensely low vibration, pop into your head and describe what is happening in 2-3 sentences without drama. Notice who else is involved in the situation or story. Ask yourself if your boundary is being too permeable. Pay attention to where or who the low energy is emanating from. Do you feel threatened? Is what you’re sensing something that is actually happening to you? If you are safe, simply be present to the situation. Are there any actions you can take to shift the energy? Finally, place your hand over your heart and be in love. If you want, you can send love to the situation, but only do so if you can stay detached from the...

We have the tendency to downplay the importance of our dreams. We do our best to dampen the sparks that land within our hearts. We're taught at an early age that dreaming is for idle people and idealists. At what point did we define idealism or dreaming as a dirty or bad thing? This week Karen invites you to take some time to dream, to engage with dreaming as if it is a practice, an essential part of your personal and collective success strategy. Notice where you dare to allow yourself to dream and where perhaps you shut your dreaming down. How does your body react to your dreams? Your hopes? Do they expand to take your breath away? Or do you quickly shut them down, afraid to allow yourself to open to the expansion? What if we all spent the week simply dreaming? Dreaming of a world that is just, a world that is equitable, a world that is abundant, sustainable, and peaceful. What magic would we unleash simply by allowing ourselves to dream?

The most important job of a cosmic revolutionary is to be yourself. It is from this place of alignment with the authentic self that you show others how to be true to who they are. When you live true to yourself, you create a wave of energy that lifts others up and encourages others to be in the same energy field of true self-expression. Your alignment creates a resonance field which then spreads to other people. This is the power of knowing who you are and creating a life that is a pure reflection of this truth. Whatever type of storytelling process you choose to engage in, make sure the story you're telling is a good one. One that's truly worthy of a cosmic revolutionary, like you.
