The Final 4-Year Window: Will You Be Right or Free?

Practical Wisdom: Living 5D in a 3D World
Integrating higher consciousness into everyday life—one miracle at a time!
Hi, Beloved!
For the past few weeks, my body has been insisting on deep rest. Oxygen tube, antibiotics, steroids, bed, and a lot of stillness. Somewhere in that stillness, a very simple awareness became crystal clear: I could go… or I could stay.
I chose to stay.
Not because I’m afraid to leave, but because there is something extraordinary unfolding on this planet right now. We are living in a moment where an entire 26,000-year cycle is coming to a close, and with it comes an invitation:
Will I keep playing the ego’s game of being right, or will I finally commit to being happy?
In A Course in Miracles, Chapter 15, Section XI, “Christmas as the End of Sacrifice,” paragraph 10, Jesus describes a time when a new year is born from the time of Christ. He speaks of his perfect faith in us, reminds us that nothing is lacking, and then offers a simple instruction:
“In the name of my freedom I choose your release, because I recognize that we will be released together.”
This is the essence of the path before us. Every judgment we hold against a brother or sister—whether it’s a politician, a neighbor, a family member, a stranger on the internet, or the “worst villain” we can imagine—is a way we quietly lock ourselves in a prison of our own making.
We think we are punishing them with our outrage, our righteousness, our refusal to forgive. But in truth, we are the ones who can’t rest. We are the ones who must constantly monitor the offender, retell the story, gather “evidence” and allies, and live with a nervous system wired for attack and defense.
The Course is uncompromising: there is no separate source of suffering, just as there is no separate source of darkness. Darkness is simply the absence of light. Suffering is the absence of remembered love.
The moment I decide that you are unlovable—because you are a different political party, a different religion, a criminal, a betrayer, a bad parent, or someone who “should know better”—I am the one blocking the flow of love within me. I am the one staying in spiritual kindergarten, insisting that my ego be right even if it costs me my peace.
We are now in what I like to call the “final four years” of this long cycle, a period of accelerated choice. Not a fearful deadline, but a concentrated invitation. Think of two trains in the station for a brief overlap of time: one is the familiar 3D train of judgment, victimhood, and karmic repetition; the other is the 5D train of forgiven perception, shared innocence, and the happy dream.
Both are valid classrooms. Both are honored by God because God only knows freedom.
But you and I must decide:
Do we want to ride the karmic carousel for another long round of “I’m right, and you’re wrong,” or are we ready to use this window to step into a new experience where love is our only filter?
Integration in Daily Life
This teaching is not abstract. It becomes real in the tiniest, most ordinary moments.
Notice the next time you feel the surge of anger, the tightening in your chest, or the irresistible urge to prove someone wrong. Maybe it’s a news story, a social media post, a family member’s opinion, or a driver who cuts you off. The form doesn’t matter.
Here is where the choice lives:
Will I feed the story that they are the problem, or will I use this moment to free us both?
Try this simple practice:
Silently say to the person in your mind,
“In the name of my freedom, I choose your release. We will be released together.”
You don’t have to feel it perfectly. You don’t have to like their behavior. You certainly don’t have to agree with their choices or invite them for coffee. This isn’t about condoning; it’s about unbinding.
Then ask the Holy Spirit:
“Show me how to see this as You see it. Show me how to love here instead of judge.”
Over time, you will notice something astonishing. The more you practice this, the less interesting your old dramas become. The thrill of being right begins to feel dull and heavy compared to the quiet, steady joy of being free.
This is how we move, step by step, from a world of victims and bullies into a world of brothers and sisters. It is how we shift from the haunted house to the happy dream—without leaving our bodies, our families, or our responsibilities behind. We stay, but we stay as light.
Lainaism
“Every time I choose to be right about your guilt, I renew my sentence in a prison with no door. Every time I choose your release, I remember that the door was never locked.”
Closing Transmission
Beloved, nothing in your life is happening by accident.
The people you find hardest to love are not interruptions on your path—they are the path. They are the exact mirrors your soul requested to show you where you still believe in punishment, where you still trust fear more than love, and where you are still bargaining with God for just a little more time in the ego’s game.
You are not being asked to like what the ego has made. You are being invited to remember what God created. Or not!
You came to this planet at this time, in this cycle, with full knowledge—at the soul level—of the intensity of this transition. You said yes to being here as the timelines split, as humanity chooses between repeating the old story or writing an entirely new one.
So let this be the year you “make it all the same” by making everyone equally worthy of your forgiveness. Let this be the year you give the Holy Spirit every relationship, every grievance, and every story you have been guarding.
In the name of your freedom, choose their release.
And as you do, feel the gentle click of spiritual handcuffs falling open—on both of you.
We are not waiting for the second coming of Christ to arrive from outside of us. We are the second coming when we choose to let Christ’s vision replace the ego’s judgment, one encounter at a time.
May this be the year you finally discover that being happy is far more delicious than being right.
I am happy, and I know it!
