Sapience Turns One
One year ago, I released Sapience: The Moment Is Now. It wasnāt just a bookāit was a warning. In Sapience, we traced a 5,000-year arc of civilization, warning that unless humanity reclaimed its awareness and imagination, we would stumble into a new dark ageāone of ignorance and carefully engineered belief. As we move through 2025, the echoes of that warning are no longer distant thunderāthey are our daily weather.
And today, as the foundations of American democracy are being intentionally shattered, that warning has become a full-blown reality.
Sapience predicted the Fall of Nation states and Rise of Authoritarian, Corporate states ruled by oligarchs and powered by corruptionāand now, in 2025, here is what is happening in the USA and around the world.
ā”ļø Trump Returns to Power
Donald Trump is back in the White House. The federal workforce is being gutted, with over 200,000 jobs eliminated in the first 90 days. Agencies meant to safeguard public health, education, civil rights, and the environment are now hollowed out or weaponized.



š§µ The Legal Elite Falls in Line
Top corporate law firms are offering Trump tens of millions in pro bono legal work. These firms are no longer independent watchdogs; theyāve become the regimeās shield and sword.

š Economic Sabotage Disguised as Policy
Tariffs enacted under the guise of economic nationalism have tanked the global economy. According to the IMF, global trade volume dropped 15% in Q1 2025. Inflation is out of control. Food prices have doubled. Supply chains are paralyzed.


š³ļø Rights in Freefall
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for states to override federal protections, enabling draconian laws targeting women, LGBTQ+ individuals, educators, and dissenters. The Constitution is being rewritten by neglect.

But the crisis runs deeperāexactly as Sapience foresaw:
š§ The Weaponization of Apperception
Our chapter on apperception explained how minds are molded when new experiences are framed by past narratives. That manipulation is now systemized. State media reframes chaos as control. Many Americans believe they are freerāeven as dissent is outlawed and surveillance grows.
š„ Media Capture
A handful of billionaires now own the majority of U.S. media outlets. Investigative journalism is vanishing. Critical voices are fired, sidelined, or digitally erased.
š§¶ Rise of Para-State Militias
Militia groups are being deputized to patrol borders, intimidate voters, and suppress protests. These rogue actors, once fringe, are now funded and legitimized by state governments.
š¤ Surveillance as Suppression
AI and biometric tech are being deployed nationwide. What began as pandemic-era contact tracing has mutated into full-spectrum citizen monitoring. Digital IDs are tracking political affiliation, social behavior, and medical history.
š Collapse of International Norms
America is abandoning treaties and global leadership roles. In the power vacuum, authoritarian states are rising.
āŖļø Theocratic Infiltration
State legislatures are codifying religious doctrine into law, targeting womenās rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and education. The wall between church and state is crumbling fast.
None of this is accidental
None of it is about ādraining the swamp.ā

These are not just Strump coins… These are perfect goofy fake money for bribes, money laundering, and corruption by the rich and powerful for the rich and powerful
Itās about concentrating power, privatizing democracy, and breaking the federal structure so that billionaires and corporations can rule over the rubble.
And, it’s only going to get worst.

And then, there are some among us want it to get worse. They believe it is necessary to get worse and desire it to do so. They believe that Trump is bringing in the End Times, as predicted in the bible and they are happy for it.

In 1 Corinthians 15:52, the "last trumpet" refers to a divine signal marking the end of the present age and the beginning of the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of believers. This trumpet call is not a literal sound, but a symbolic representation of God's authoritative action. [1, 2, 3]
Here's a more detailed explanation: [1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4]
- Symbolic Sign of God’s Power: The trumpet is a symbol of God’s authority and action, echoing its use in ancient Israel to gather people and announce significant events. [1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4]
- Resurrection and Transformation: The “last trumpet” signals the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of living believers, both of which will occur in an instant. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5]
- Completion of God’s Plan: The trumpet signifies the completion of God’s plan for the church on earth and His dealings with believers. [6, 6]
- Not a literal trumpet: While the imagery of a trumpet is strong, some interpret the “last trumpet” not as a literal sound but as a symbolic representation of God’s action. [6, 6]

Sapience called this.

And Sapience provides an alternative future. A future were belief does not have to be predestined reality.
Belief is nothing more than manās mind making sense of his life, his experiences, and the things that have happened to him. Belief is a story man tells himself to soothe and calm himself in a vast, complicated, unpredictable world. However, there are other ways to know and understand the world beyond belief. For instance, there is science and the scientific method. There are historical records, stories, and myths. There are facts (real fact⦠not alternative facts, which are nothing more than lies others tell you to manipulate and exploit you). There is intuition. And there is creative imagination as described by Carl Jung.
Carl Jung saw creative imagination as absolutely essential to the growth and development of consciousness. To him, imagination wasnāt just fantasy or daydreaming; it was a powerful tool for exploring the unconscious and for integrating its contents into a richer, more complete awareness of the self ā what he called individuation.
Here are a few key ideas Jung had about creative imagination and consciousness:
- Imagination bridges conscious and unconscious: Jung believed that creative imagination allows the conscious mind to access material from the unconscious ā archetypes, symbols, emotions, and complexes. Without imagination, we would stay trapped in a narrow, rational view of ourselves.
- Active Imagination: One of Jungās most famous techniques is active imagination, where a person consciously dialogues with figures or images that arise from the unconscious (in dreams, fantasies, or even art). This practice lets unconscious material surface and become transformed into something consciously understood and integrated.
- Symbols as carriers of growth: Creative imagination produces symbols ā visual, narrative, or emotional images ā that carry deeper meanings. Engaging with these symbols creatively (through art, writing, visualization) allows consciousness to expand and deepen.
- Healing through creativity: Jung saw creativity as a way of healing splits in the psyche. By giving shape to unconscious conflicts or unexpressed feelings through art, myth, or story, we help them find a rightful place in the conscious mind, fostering psychological wholeness.
- Imagination as an evolutionary force: Jung sometimes spoke about the evolution of consciousness across human history, and he believed imagination played a key role in that evolution ā myth-making, storytelling, and religious symbolism were ways early humanity began relating consciously to unconscious forces.
One way to sum it up is:
š For Jung, creative imagination wasnāt a luxury ā it was a necessity for becoming truly aware, truly whole, and truly human.
Here are a few reflections and visual prompts paired with Jung quotes. Think of them as building blocks for introspective imagination, a starter kit for people who want to expand their consciousness: ⨠1. Quote: "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens." ā Collected Works, Vol. 10 Imaginative work helps us ālook inside,ā contacting unconscious material in a form the conscious mind can begin to grasp. Reflection: The outer world reflects what the inner world projects. Real transformation begins when we bravely imagine what's hidden within. Consciousness expands not by running from shadows, but by illuminating them. Visual Idea: A silhouetted figure standing at the edge of a cosmic mirror ā one side stars, the other a heart-shaped galaxy swirling within. Text overlay: āAwaken from the inside out.ā

Prompt: Where have I been ālooking outsideā for answers that might live inside me? šØ 2. Quote: "The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." ā Psychological Types (1921) Jung saw imagination not as escapism, but as a dynamic interaction with what matters most to the soul. Reflection: Play is sacred. Creation isn't forced ā it flows when love leads. When you let your imagination explore what fascinates you, youāre not wasting time ā youāre following the thread of your own becoming. Visual Idea: A childlike figure with wings made of paintbrush strokes, dancing over a sea of symbols ā books, stars, animals, myths. Prompt: What am I drawn to without knowing why? What might happen if I let myself play with it? š 3. Quote: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." ā Collected Works, Vol. 10 Creative imagination helps bring unconscious forces into awareness so we can live more freely and intentionally. Reflection: Imagination gives form to the formless. Without it, we remain puppets of patterns we donāt see. With it, we begin to co-create with what was once unconscious. Visual Idea: A marionette cutting its own strings, reaching upward toward a glowing symbol (e.g., an eye, a spiral, or the sun). Prompt: What patterns or fated experiences in my life feel repetitive? What image comes to mind when I think about breaking free? š 4. Quote: "Active imagination is a way of getting into contact with the unconscious, by letting it speak in its own language ā the language of images." ā The Transcendent Function (1916/1957) Jung developed this method to consciously explore dreamlike imagery, fantasy, and inner dialogue as a path to inner transformation. Reflection: Not every message from your soul arrives in words. Sometimes, itās a color, a dream, a sketch, or a whisper. Trust the language of symbols ā it's how your unconscious speaks truth. Visual Idea: A glowing journal with dreamlike creatures flowing out ā butterflies, serpents, staircases, and hands ā as if consciousness is writing itself. Prompt: What image keeps returning to me lately? What might it be trying to say?
The Time for Action Is NOW…
When I wrote about the myth of the strongman, about how historical manipulation feeds into modern propaganda, about how apperception is hijacked to rewrite truth inside the human mindāI wasnāt writing science fiction. I was writing about what was coming. And now itās here.
In my recent blogāThe Real Reason Billionaires Want to Collapse the Global Economy and American DemocracyāI exposed the endgame: billionaires donāt fear collapseātheyāre betting on it. Economic chaos = opportunity for those rich enough to capitalize on disaster.
We are watching the rise of a corporate coup masquerading as patriotic populism.
And this is why Sapience matters more today than the day it was published.
This isnāt just a book anniversary. Itās a gut check.
Itās time to understand the system being weaponized against us.
Itās time to wake up. Speak up. Link arms. Push back.
Because the longer we wait, the fewer tools weāll have to fight with.
Sapience didnāt just tell a story. It sounded an alarm. That alarm is ringing strong.
We are not powerlessābut we are on the brink. And the moment is still now.
“Only the awakened imagination can counter the machinery of deception.” ā Sapience: The Moment is Now
The moment is now to change our narratives, to grow our awareness, to elevate our individual and collective consciousness.
The Moment Is Now, to protect and sustain our collective survival or to choose our collective fate, the end times or as nature calls it… extinction!
