What is Faith?- A New Year's Message to Spiritually Responsible Individuals
Energetic Weather Conditions for January 2026
January is a big month, which marks a turning point for us all. This turning point comes with a big question: What's the spiritually responsible thing to do?
The beginning 2026 energies are very complex, chaotic, and very confusing. Collectively, they indicate growing concerns about global shifts toward social, but also spiritual fragmentation. As it becomes increasingly harder for us to weed through the overload of information we are gradually pulled into an algorithm controlled perception of reality - rather than inner contemplation and insight seeking. What can we do to counter-act getting stuck in our own duality of being (material vs. spiritual). Can choices can lead to a permanent split or severance from Divine Wisdom? 2026 Energies show us how to step into spiritual responsibility.
2026 is showing us the outer expression of our inner fragmentation—as individuals, as well as a collective humanity.
The month of January ushers in the intensity of what I have been calling “Spiritual War.” In Janruary, which appears as split in half, we can experience this like two different phases of a bigger process—the first half being that of a harsh awakening, followed by the second half bringing back the remembrance of our higher goals. We should therefore be very clear about what we want to carry into the new year, as all that separates us from Spirit will make our lives increasingly difficult. Without an inner union, we will not be able to find outer union!
Starting out with “explosive” (blown out of proportion) collective events in the first quarter of this month, the new year will start out with overwhelmingly intense collective controversy at first. It will require us to get a firm grip on our thinking, its biases, and temptations. Getting pulled into our ego coping can drive us into emotional negativity, apathy, addictions, or simply overreacting in ways we may regret later in the month. Our insights will bring up externalized and excessive aspects in our lives—things that are holding us back, that compromise our values, or that lower our self-worth. The first two weeks can therefore serve as the needed processing time to gain more clarity about how our choices may have been manipulated, and why we allowed this to happen, so that we can better see what needs to be healed.
Toward mid-month, we will perceive the needed energetic support to follow through on making changes. It is advisable to practice caution and patience with what will come to us as potentially erratic or overzealous decisions until then—especially in how we communicate (word choices) our spiritual thoughts and feelings with others.
The second half of January is for refocusing on our core beliefs. In experiencing the contrast between collective perception/narrative of events and our own perception of reality, we will become empowered to act according to our faith in higher consciousness and find back to our true values. Similar to the time between 2020–2022, it will test our resolve at first, but lead to a strengthening of our courage to finally act on what has been wanting to come to expression. By the end of the month, we will all feel the need to rewrite our goals for the year and take the necessary first action steps.
Collective disclosure events in January will reveal the true agenda behind the distortion of reality and history. This may come with a psychological break in many people—similar to the loss of all faith after stepping out of a cult. We will see yet another rise in mental health issues, hate crimes, and escapism. In summary, January’s collective intensity and confusion will allow us to witness the importance of having a spiritual framework (faith) that allows for seeing how Divine Wisdom expresses through the interplay of the dualities of our human nature.
For many of us, January will bring up karmic aspects (for example, the contemplation of why we are here at this exact time?). As spiritually aware and awake individuals, we will have to face the reality of increasing confrontation with adverserial forces (un-truth, un-freedom, and un-love) - which are now operating out in the open for you to clearly see (but not for others). Once we accept our spiritual biography as a way-shower on how to differentiate and individuate our perception of Self, we are free to grow our consciousness without regressing into old ways of thinking.
Overall Theme for 2026: Spiritual Responsibility
What makes you a spiritually aware individual?
Put together, the main themes for 2026, introduced by January energies, revolve around the deeper understanding of our beliefs, identity, values, and purpose—and with it something that could be called “spiritual responsibility". But not everybodys feel this. How can I know what or when my actions are spiritually responsible?
The world is going through massive changes, and so are we. The many distortions, illusions, and especially emotional manipulations have worn us out. Don't feel bad if you feel tired from the constant battle with regression of consciousness in the world - but don't feel elated or superior, either!
Being able to 'see' means having the discipline to withstand your inner attractions and repulsions. Seeing the truth is not a blissful business, or a feel-good escape from reality. Seeing truth means to be able to cut through the collective pressure to sequester our own thinking, or to make others wrong or feel better about yourself. It comes with a deep question:
”What will I do with all that I have learned and that I can see?
Seeing and discerning truth comes with a sacrifice. It requires to surrender to the fear of standing alone, because you chose to think and feel for yourself. The reward is a purposeful and sober faith that allows you to act on it. Being spiritually responsible means to feel the right time to do the right thing. The 'right time' is the exact moment you chose to step into your spiritual responsibility and thusly confess yourself as someone who cannot unsee the distortions of reality.
With awareness and spiritual sight comes the need to be disciplined. Seeing how the war on our thinking (focus/attention/concentration) is being blatantly played before us cannot make us become resentful, hateful, or cynical. Watch out to not fall for your ego's lamenting - separating ourselves from others would defy the higher goal of bringing Spirit into our thinking and acting. We are here to steward the Earth and its children, so that they can freely develop.
Cynicism, blind skepticism, and judgment lead to ideologies and blind faith—consciousness leads to a strengthening of independent thinking, cultivation of inner truth and discernment, moral imagination, and self-responsibility.
By now, we have all discovered how the many distractions through media, toxic jobs, or relationships have undermined our self-worth and courage. We have spent decades with self-healing and personal spiritual growth. Now, the time has come where our attention should shift toward the newly awakened and still growing soul selves in our environment. We have already experienced and understood the importance of spiritual growth and self-mastery through self-forgiveness, clear thinking, truthful feeling, and responsible acting, but most people around us are still new to spirituality without dogma.
Our Spiritual Responsibility is not to convince them, but to show them a path of hope. The biggest growth for us spiritually free people is in living in our hearts, and standing up for our values without regrets, guilt, or shame. Wasting time, money, or energy on things to cover up or hide our wounds is no longer supportive of our growth - passivity will begin to feel intolerable from here on, thus driving us into wanting to make bigger changes now.
Our tasks are:
To develop spiritual sovereigntyTo strengthen our communities
To cut through illusions without hatred or judgment
To separate truth from projection/ego illusion
To distinguish ideologies from inner experience/spiritual reality
To reclaim spirituality without regression
The best way forward will be in strengthening our courage to embody faith with discernment and positivity through active and conscious engagement with things and activities that clearly represent our values in life. Distractions of the mind, excessive fear thoughts, catastrophizing, and negativity can easily divert us from seeing the practical. Therefore, even if you feel you have the energy, don’t waste your precious capacity by overburdening yourself with things that don’t even matter to you! This counts especially for our relationships and home lives, as we will feel a strong impulse to break out, expand, travel, or simply change “something” for the sake of change. Instead, try to find the right balance by staying practical, feasible, and neutral.
Have faith that you will be able to deal with whatever comes your way—but don’t be naive or blindly trust in others! The ability to find your higher expression does not come from an externalized power, but from the unfolding of your harmonized heart and mind.
On one hand, January will open up new perspectives, reveal the bigger picture and bigger purpose, and allow us to grow our personal capacity for love, creativity, and truer perception. On the other hand, this will also bring in the harsh reality of betrayal, broken promises, and disillusionment.
Updated Outlook 2026–2035
A review of 2025 developments reveals a dire outlook on the coming year. Taken as a trajectory, 2026 marks the beginning of a larger gear shift that sets our collective into a new trajectory (until 2033-35). Characterized by rapidly unraveling global events (earth changes, war talk, machine/tech acceleration, alien narratives) collective developments are more and more clothed in a spiritual context (savior/messiah, distopia, oblivion, apocalypse and human space rescue mission verbage) driving many into resorting to their psyche’s first (and unreflected) defense -> duck-and-cover.
We are beginning to see the rise of a dark forces that will promise relief in false beliefs, blaming, or simply fantasizing (inquiry topics: Electrification, Space Bro's, Third Temple, Second Coming, Messiah/Alien Rescue, Alien Origin Story, etc), which will be obvious lies to you but not for the majority of people.
In the coming years, these developments will lead humanity into unconsciously participating in a spiritual war that they are not equipped for yet. As a consequence, we will see more fragmentation and separation among us, which in return calls for more external control, and the prohibition of individualized thinking. The counterforce to such an inevitable development of our current collective thought process is the conscious cultivating of our innate soul forces, specifically our ability to independently think and morally consider our choices. This will not be easy for people who do not have enough tools for self-mastery or spiritual training—and difficult for us to witness.
The good news is, that these 'inevitable' developments always also strengthen the counter force in us to develop...
The Rebirth of Faith
Our modern human soul evolution is bound to happen through our individuation. It motivates us to find true meaning, faith, and purpose out of a sincere inner desire to know truth. Faith is the virtue that is going to help us muster the needed power that can support, love, and carry us through enduring this consciousness development stage.
In that, January is a big month, which marks a turning point for us all. Our heartfelt concerns about the future of our planet, our children, and humanity will help us escape the prison of unconsciousness and infuse new life force into us! We will be able to see/perceive the true power and purpose of our existence and thus become able to self-heal the many pathologies of our soul with never-before-seen speed and efficiency.
Seek the true, the good, and the beautiful in all of these experiences that January brings to us to rebirth our true faith!
Let’s get to work—together!
Much Love,

Overall Collective Dynamics First Half of 2026
Tightening control vs. communal re-weaving. Governments and power groups promote surveillance as “security” . However, the Digital ID narrative is tested. At the same time, local networks—faith groups, mutual aid, civic tech, and small communities—quietly grow resilience.
Identity pressure. Culture-war framing intensifies. The psychic effect: people feel pushed to pick a side rather than pick a principle.
Hive Mind: Confusion and uncertainty lead to a lowering of consciousness and ego-survival thinking. This can lead to a suppression of individual spiritual development, and a return to tribalism, communalism, and hive-mind thinking.
Inner Counter Impulse: Step out of your mental loops and spirals. See yourself as a spiritual being with inner light powers Ask, “How can I produce more Light through my actions?'
Tech & Information Climate
AI acceleration. Productivity rises for some; displacement anxiety rises for many. Synthetic media blurs truth-signals. Spiritualization of Technology (and Science) are the symptoms of confusions around spirituality.
Cognitive overload. Constant alerts fragment attention, thinning the etheric body (life-force sheath).
Inner Counter Impulse: Information hygiene is energetic hygiene. Curate inputs; set “no-screen times”; prefer direct experience over endless opinion.
AI as new collective phenomenon sends a serious signal for us to pay attention! It is not the replacement of jobs or changes in our information management that we need to fear (all this will certainly happen). But it is the conditioning to externalize our thinking and thus the degrading of our individualized thought processes that we need to fear (Materialization of Spirituality) including Hive-mind thinking and the projection of spirituality onto Technology/AI (-> Spiritualization of the Material) that looms over our collective guardianship of technology.... (to be continued)
Conscious Self-Healing Practices for January
Practical Tips for Navigating Reality
Allow time and space for contemplation. Tension is high collectively. Pause from time-to-time, go screen-free at times when you would normally look at your phone.
Take care of your inputs. What you read, watch, or scroll through matters. Too much noise weakens your clarity.
Create little rituals. Even something simple like journaling or a mindful walk can help you stay balanced.
Meet your shadows with honesty. If fear, jealousy, or old wounds show up — don’t shame yourself. See them as teachers.
Keep choosing your soul. Each day, remind yourself: “I have made my choice. I align with what heals, not what harms.”
Spiritual Hygiene
Daily Practice: Work with inner exercises — concentration, meditation, or journaling/reviewing the day backwards — to sharpen awareness and build the Phoenix-fire of clarity.
Balance Shadow & Light: Allow difficult feelings to rise without suppression. Ask: What truth is this showing me? This is the Phoenix’s fire — purifying, not destroying.
Invoke Courage: Contemplate Michael with the sword of truth. Let this image remind you that courage is an active force of consciousness, the very flame that ignites transformation.
Grounding Rituals: Anchor yourself in the body. Spend time in nature, breathe rhythmically, eat warming foods, move with intention. The Phoenix rises only when rooted in the ashes.
Kindle Inner Light: Light a candle with purpose. Let it symbolize the inner sun — your Phoenix flame — which grows brighter as the outer world darkens.

Closing Comments:
To be clear: For those who can 'see' the coming years leading up to 2033-35 are probably going to be most challenging times of our lives. But once you 'see', you also understand how that exactly that - the fact THAT YOU CAN SEE - fills you with purpose that can dissipate confusion and apathy about your personal path.
Don't take this as a doomsday prediction carved in stone! Many will experience never before abundance and fulfillment in their lives, because they no longer feel the need to pretend. However, to be able to SEE THROUGH the shroud of 'dark smog' sourrounding our collective learning processes requires proper inner mental-emotional-spiritual preparation, so that we can find the conviction to have faith in your own soul forces.
There is a reason why you have been suffering from never really feeling you belong, or not being able to fit in to mainstream thinking! The reason is your individual thinking and feeling. You have not come here to merge into the hive-mind of unconscious thinking, but to bring spirit into your otherwise material existence. It is your inner light and warmth that now merges with the conviction to trust in the unfolding of Spirt through you!
Stay Conscious and Connected!

Primary Energy Resonance
Focus for January: Faith
FAITH is an alignment to higher power that allows us to subjectively experience the power of Divine Consciousness in our own thinking, feeling and acting as inner reference point. But Faith alone does not will or act. True Faith elevates our spiritual understanding from external to internal - and with that - from ideology and blind faith to conscious spirituality in our every day thinking and moral chosing.
True Faith is not about escaping thinking to find Spirit, but to bring Spirit into our sensing, feeling and thinking.
In our time, ‘being spiritual’ is an individual choice - it needs to be sought out of the inner impulse to reconnect with higher power while going through this life, rather than escaping life. Faith allows us to overcome the limitations of body, mind, and emotion, if experienced in freedom. Faith is the journey of experiencing our Higher Power first-hand through conscious choice - and it starts with the discipline surrendering our ego desires and error perception to the GRACE within us.
The practice of FAITH is to allow our inner connection with Higher Power without ideology or karmic collective inheritance. It requires us to turn inward and connect our spirited thinking with your truthful feeling. As soon as we can recognize the temptations of our lower self, we become willing to surrender all thoughts, sensations, and emotions to our developing Spiritual Identity.
To have Faith, and with it the alignment to Higher Power, means choosing to believe in the higher purpose of existence itself, and to act accordingly. Being faithful means working toward the state of Divine Wisdom within.
Many describe or compare the process of experiencing renewed FAITH through a crisis or near-death experience, but we are now in a time where we can have our individual inner experience of God/Higher Power while conscious.
Apart from ideologies, and beliefs systems…
WHAT DO I BELIEVE IN?
WHAT EXPRESSION AM I WORKING TOWARD TO?
WHICH PART/S OF ME REPRESENTS MY HIGHER SELF?
WHICH PART/S OF ME REPRESENT MY UNCONSCIOUS SELF?
Try to truly feel into your soul and allow an inner reference feeling for Faith to form in you. Don’t be afraid of the depth of where this journey is guiding you. Pay attention to sensations, feelings and thoughts, but don't get distracted by them. Stay in your center and allow yourself to fully anchor in your Spirit Self.
The purpose of reclaiming Faith is to unify the severed connection with Divine Wisdom and to reinstate Spiritual Integrity through conscious choice .
