In this episode, Teresa and James explore the coming shift from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, expected around 2027. They frame this as an evolutionary change in the background frequency that shapes society, technology, and spirituality.
The Cross of Planning (current era)
Gates 37 • 40 • 9 • 16
Themes: community bargains, collectivism, marriage and religious contracts, rapid technological growth, push-and-pull between collective and tribal priorities.
We are still in the First-Line phase that favors investigation, security seeking, and top-down authority.
The Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix (post-2027)
Gates 59 • 55 • 20 • 34
Themes: individualism, self-sufficiency, embodiment, changing sexuality, and a somatic approach to healing.
Embodiment vs. Disembodiment
Evolving Gender and Relationships
New-Era Tribalism
Power and Conflict (34-20 channel)
Navigating the Noise
Understanding these themes can help you prepare for social shifts, deepen personal embodiment practices, and anchor decisions in your own authority as the collective terrain changes.
