The Calling
A Thousand Dreams Part 2: A New Energy Business Chronicle
“If you don’t find the way, no one will.”[1]
~ Galadriel, The Lord of the Rings
The Way
After having recorded DreamWorlds on June 9, 2022 –a sweet and enlightening experience, I left Colorado knowing I could not waste one minute; Adamus had requested “a follow-up to this in a year or so” and I couldn’t afford any distractions. I was painfully aware that the way I returned in a year would define the project forever and very conscious that it was the springboard any entrepreneur would dream of getting.
And not waste a minute I did. I woke up every day with a single-minded, razor-sharp focus. I seemed to have naturally put aside anything that was not A Thousand Dreams related and did not allow myself to entertain discouraging thoughts; I knew I needed to be strict, grounded, centered, and solid. If one door closed, I did not stop to ponder on the whys, I simply knocked on the next one, and as uncomfortable as many things made me feel — think of fundraising — I just took a deep breath and plowed along.
I was also aware that however much effort I put into the project, it would not succeed because of my human doing, rather my human allowing. Nevertheless, I was methodical. Starting on June 12, 2022, and for the next few months I used the technique I had just learned at DreamWorlds: every night before falling asleep I commanded myself to connect to the dream that contained the more magical, joyful, abundant, and efficient path to seeing the platform for dreams out there. It burnt me how desperately I yearned to see it birthed.
Naturally, pretty quickly, the whole thing went astray.
The Spaceship
Back in 2013, a very dear friend channeled Isis for me. brandnewplanning, the strategic planning boutique I had been running for more than ten years was not serving me adequately and neither was life; I needed advice.
At brandnewplanning I essentially offered one product called Alignment. It was a three-month immersion that consisted of aligning the four big spheres of a company: essence, culture, image, and external environment. It was kind of a multidimensional SWOT analysis that distilled not only the branding but also the business strategy into one sentence; an evergreen approach that could guide every aspect of a company for years into the future.
I was not reinventing the wheel, alignment is a very simple concept and highly overused in business, but yes, I can see how there was something visionary in the simplicity of my approach, and the channel showed it potently. The image my channeler-friend got was that mine was a spaceship ready to land, but Earth had no platform for it.
“Be patient,” Isis said.
I sighed. There was not much I could do as my physical balance was delicate, too, and grudgingly I followed her advice. But I could have never imagined that patience meant ten more years of barely sustaining myself.
Ground Workers
I remember the feeling, as if I was some twenty years ahead of time and people could not get me. I said it before, in The Dream I Dreamed: when doing strategy, “it took me a lot to go back and reconstruct [for my clients] how I had reached those conclusions, but the thing is, it was not a mental process. Those were not conclusions; it was knowingness.” And frustration crept in.
Maybe it was part of the Ground Workers’ task, intimately connected to what was happening out there in the ethereal realms, and while waiting for our time to come, we were almost naked, exposed, and defenseless in the physical world.
Or maybe I was standing right at the gate leading to the dreaming landscapes — if that is possible — for I don’t identify myself with having been a Realm Worker, but I was far out there at night and remained haltingly alive for twenty years.
We did not become great leaders, renowned figures, or exemplary entrepreneurs not because we were incapable, but because those would have been distractions. It was as if having a precious engine running, with the pedal at full gas, while having the other foot on the breaks, preventing it from getting anywhere. It was physically so demanding that at many junctures we could have left.
But we didn’t.
.
First Act: The Dream at DreamWorlds
Adamus had opened DreamWorlds asking if it felt like we were in a dream. “Absolutely,” I said. For a month I had been in a kind of shock or trance; I was out of my body, feeling airy, dreamy, and had been unable to work. Actually, I didn’t come back into my body until after DreamWorlds was recorded.
After I answered, he elaborated:
“Because it is. Because it is. You’ve dreamt this. Now, not every little detail, not every little thing, but you’ve had kind of an overview dream of, well, it’s your dream to talk about dreams, work on dreams, but you’ve also dreamt that we were all going to be here together.”
…
“Now, in the dream, you might have dreamt that it was a whole group of Shaumbra from all around the world and we were sitting here in front of all of them and asking questions, and in the dream, you might have dreamt that you spilled some food on you, and then you had to get up and leave for a while.
When you came back, a dog was sitting in your chair instead of you. We’ll discuss in this session why those things happen. But the fact is, we’ve dreamt about this before. You’ve dreamt about it, and you called me into your dreams. So here we are.”
I knew then that I had no recollection of this dream, and I also understood that it was about worthiness, about my capacity to anchor this potential in physical form, about deserving it, but during DreamWorlds we never circled back to this dream; that happened later, in dreams.
.
New Energy Businesses
I was always very respectful of entrepreneurs, even an admirer; succeeding in business requires a specific type of character, and it demands that they provide beautiful products that add value to people’s lives. Anything less and they are out of business.
And businesses carry so much weight on their shoulders. Every demand of society goes to businessmen: they are asked to provide long-term and high paying jobs — the more, the better — thus sustaining economies, pay corporate and employee taxes thus sustaining governments, be socially responsible and team up with NGOs to address the stakeholders’ problems (namely, everybody), clean the environment thus sustaining the planet, insure their employees against life, essentially, and apologize for making a profit!
Honorable businessmen and scholars are hard on themselves, too, elaborating on the waste that misguided strategic thinking and the consequent useless creations have had over the last hundred years.
.
To create a new energy business poses additional challenges. An enterprise is by definition, the sum of collective efforts to achieve what an individual on its own could not and it needs stability over time, but we need to forge a team with people carrying different understandings of what sovereignty means, and with very peculiar energetic needs.
These new enterprises come into the world with so much more than money as a bottom-line principle but still, profits are essential to survive and grow: only a thriving business creates well-being and prosperity all around.
That profits are a condition for survival, not a luxury, is pure economic theory, BTW, but it goes against deeply ingrained unconscious beliefs: one is that businessmen, by nature, are greedy, and profits, no matter the amount, are excessive; another one is that the sacred should not be monetized. Dreams are sacred.
.
The True Ministry
For me, the true ministry on Earth is entrepreneurship: only businesses — and consciousness, of course — can solve the problems of humanity.
It was Adamus himself that spoke at length about entrepreneurship and businesses on the ProGnost Update of 2020. In essence, he said that more than governments, it is businesses that will be the driving force of change on the planet.
“If you take a look into the founders of some of these big multinational corporations, the majority of them are conscious individuals. They are conscious individuals, and they came to this planet right now, at this time, to not only found that business to help change the planet, but also to change it on many, many different levels at once.” (Adamus, 2020)[2]
Already in my 2011 written version of “Alignment,” I closed with an early quote from Tobias: “It is through businesses that humanity evolves by peaceful means.” (Tobias, 2005)[3]
Understandably, after the shoud on June 4, 2022, right after Adamus questioned me about A Thousand Dreams, I had hinted to Geoffrey that I admired and appreciated how they made Crimson Circle viable. It is not only about any gift or talent that you may put forth to benefit the world, but also about knowing how to run a business.
On October 23, 2022, I dreamt about repeating this, now to both, Geoffrey and Linda. “I told you,” I said in the dream. “I know what it means what you did, on every level.” I was referring to what it meant personally, physically, what it meant in terms of commitment, honorability, transparency, organization, and consistency.
And maybe I said it — in real life and in dreams — because I knew what it meant for me. I was starting to feel the weight of responsibility, for even before the June 2022 shoud I had already burnt every ship.
.
Blending Two Worlds
brandnewplanning had not been my only entrepreneurial attempt. In uniting the world of consciousness and the world of business there was also The Alchemists, Tzolkin (The Lunar Maya Calendar), La Nueva Tierra (The New Earth), and the media conglomerate in which many of us tried to weave decency into corporate strategy.
Despite my introversion, I knew my thing would be very public, massive, global, but it was as if I had been sounding Gabriel’s trumpet in all the wrong places at all the wrong times. Or as a friend said: it was as if I had been building A Thousand Dreams for thirty years!
The Countdown
In response to the dreams I was calling into my life, the team I had been working with over the course of many years disintegrated almost immediately. In the passion and utter certainty I had — and still have — about A Thousand Dreams, it escaped me that not everybody was willing or in the position to embark on the adventure of a startup.
After that, daily, for months, I woke up feeling a solid pain in the pit of my stomach, one that disappeared as soon as I anchored myself in the waking world. There is only so much one person can do, you see; no matter how beautiful a voice I may have, this is not a song anyone can sing a cappella, this is a symphony, and for that, you need an orchestra.
Furthermore, it felt as if the project was breathing like a living thing and making its own decisions to get rid of whatever it didn’t think should be part of it. Simply, it refused to move forward unless some things changed, and at every step forced me to own it ever more profoundly.
That the project was its own Self didn’t surprise me, I had seen this before but still, every exhalation that reconfigured the elements pulled the rug out from under my feet.
Second Act: The Dream After DreamWorlds
On November 02, 2022, I dreamt of the continuation of the dream Adamus had shared on DreamWorlds.
At the holiday house of my childhood in Cuernavaca (see The Plum Tree), I walked away from a small crowd that was gathering in the living room. My eldest cousin Georgie had just approached me and turning to everybody explained that he was carrying a thank you letter for me.
Similar to the dream of DreamWorlds, I got distracted by a couple of loving dogs that needed help, and I ended up exiting the scene through the back door only to witness it from afar.
It dawned on me that it wasn’t just Georgie who had brought a letter, but everyone in the room had one; and there were numerous other letters of people who weren’t present.
Basically, I had escaped the living room before the group had the chance to applaud me for A Thousand Dreams for I, within the dream, knew that I should not receive any recognition until the platform was out there.
In a second moment, instead of Georgie, there was now an elegant, thin, tall, middle-aged man channeling my Soul. Speaking on my behalf, the man said that I was only going to share the letters after my death because I did not want that gratitude to be defrauded in the years that remained of my life.
Uff.
At the very least, the dream seemed to have solved the worthiness issue; now I had proof that whatever I had done had served other people, and only in that way did it circle back to serve me. But that did not change the fact that, in my humanness back here, the desire to see the platform out there continued to burn within me.
Heaven’s Cross
On top of my virtual panic in the face of constant change, the angelic accompaniment I had felt consistently every day, at every hour, since June 2022, disappeared in an instant in early November because, now we knew, Heaven’s Cross was approaching.
Yes, Saint Germain, Adamus, or Kuthumi approached, but only if I called them purposefully for they were now incredibly busy. No joke, their ubiquity is not inexhaustible.
At first, I freaked out, worried that I had done something wrong. Hands in my trousers pockets, I stared at the floor feeling ashamed imagining I had offended Adamus in any way. Honestly, sometimes our human part is endearing — or stupid.
The question lingered in the back of my mind for weeks, but eventually I faced the fact that it was irrelevant. Instead, I needed to ask myself the following questions: if they never returned, or if they withdrew their support for whatever reason, would I still move forward with this project, and would I be capable of sustaining it solely with my Soul-energy?
I knew then that being my creation, if I didn’t find the way, no one would.
The Mirror of Galadriel
“The world is changed. I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.” Thus begins the voice of Galadriel as a narrator in The Lord of the Rings.
She and her husband Celeborn ruled on the woods of Lothlórien, when the fellowship of the Ring arrived after Gandalf the Grey had fallen unto the shadows and flames in the mines of Moria.
“The quest stands upon the edge of a knife,” she sternly admonished the group of intimidated fellows. “Stray but a little and it will fail to the ruin of all.”
After a pause, and looking at Samwise Gamgee, Frodo’s servant and friend, she added: “Yet hope remains while company is true.”
That very night Frodo was summoned from his dream to meet Galadriel at the hollow containing the mirror. He seizes Galadriel as he cautiously approaches.
“Will you look into the mirror?” Galadriel asks Frodo.
“What will I see?” Frodo asks apprehensive.
“Even the wisest cannot tell, for the mirror shows many things: things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass.”
Interestingly, in my approach to dreams, The Dreaming Landscapes, I also showcase realms of what is, of what was, of what could be — or what could have been — and the realm of the eternal. But I digress.
Frodo approaches the basin and begins to see scenes of the raiding of The Shire, the villagers being taken hostage, and the evil eye. In horror, he disconnects from the mirror as Galadriel stares at him.
“I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my mind. It is what will come to pass if you should fail.” Galadriel sentences.
.
Unborn things stand upon the edge of a knife. I knew it then.
And grounding the very insubstantial energy of dreams on Earth was a challenge.
What could have come to pass if A Thousand Dreams didn’t make it?
.
The Calling
Should know by now that coincidences do not exist. When the first version of this article was finished, I was gifted with the possibility of observing this on someone else’s story.
A wise friend, possessing the gift that the mirror of Galadriel presents, unexpectedly bumped into a dreadful future. This future, which had far-reaching consequences, was a direct outcome of his decision to withhold his voice during a critical turning point within his company. That some other random or unexpected event could avert this potential future, even if he remained silent, is always possible, yet improbable: only he knew the stakes, only he had seen the consequences, the circumstances implicated him directly, and no one else.
These visions — or dreams— are only potentials, as you know, but they are so compelling — either because they are fantastic or because they are dreadful — that they force us to overcome our worst fears. Invariably, the situation seems to painfully demand our very last drop of courage, it has that very dramatic undertone of desperation; it is like a tower moment, or an encounter with the Dragon.
It is difficult to see the impact of not answering our own call beforehand, but very easy to see it in retrospect. Just imagine the planet we would be living in if Steve Jobs hadn’t been true to his love of design, if Geoffrey & Linda had chosen not to use their voice, or if Saint Germain had never gotten out of that crystal.
Will come to see how the planet changes with the remembrance that dreams are one path to enlightenment and a way in which we transform our otherwise fated human lives.
.
You are a Ring Bearer
“I cannot do this alone.” Frodo objects.
I would have added: “I do not want to do this alone.”
But Galadriel responds: “You are a ring bearer, Frodo. To bear a ring of power is to be alone.” And after revealing that she herself is a ring-bearer, she delivers the most powerful sentence of the whole series:
“This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find the way, no one will.”
I can still hear that phrase reverberating in the tunnels of my time…
Acknowledging his fate, Frodo now declares: “Then I know what I must do… it is just that I am afraid to do it.” And that phrase could have been mine, too.
Feeling that hole in my stomach, I breathed deeply and said to myself: “Yes, I will build A Thousand Dreams, even if no Master supports me.”
Also, I wanted to go all the way with people I truly love, but for different reasons, it was impossible. I have come to understand that convergence is a miracle and I, too, needed to walk away.
.
You Are Never Alone
At the very beginning I was building the many wings of the castle with the sand of the beach, but without water! And as I focused on one of the wings, I needed to be careful that a mere breeze didn’t make one other fall.
It was sand, after all; I was practically doing magic, pulling a rabbit from within a hat, making a company appear out of thin air, for I had nothing more than words.
Walking the path from a potential to physicality is not easy; even months into this adventure, I desperately needed help, so one night I transcended the mind by breathing and expanded my energy.
Inadvertently, for my mind was not functioning, I became a parabolic antenna sounding an alarm of fervor and distress, it was very much like putting out the bat signal, but all over the world.
Still within the lethargy of my lengthy meditation, a WhatsApp message dropped in and my call was answered.
This sole event was rather impressive and along with many other synchronicities, it conveyed the message that in doing this, I could trust myself; I progressively realized that at no point did my energy disappoint me.
.
It is almost poetic how many things have come about, and daunting to think about the many things that still need to happen for this project to thrive, but I know all will be fine. Yes, elated by the fact that a business is a singular performance — a phenomenal performance — and panicking on the way, too.
But fortunately, being alone is not the same as being lonely. In other words, that the ring is yours to bear does not mean you can’t receive help. I have never been alone, and neither was Frodo.
I know an army is needed to make A Thousand Dreams possible and it was precisely an army that distracted the evil power from him; it is only because a group of friends supported him at a distance, and his true companion carries him to the very end, that Frodo is able to succeed.
I won’t need to be carried to the very end because for A Thousand Dreams there is no real ending, but if you were wondering, no, the Masters never left.
Third Act: The Dream in Reality
The third dreaming workshop took place in Mexico City on April 22, 2023. It was the culmination of a trip with Shaumbra friends and supporters of the project from Canada, Mexico, and the USA; a reunion that had come about out of sheer inspiration –pure luck and utter fortune.
I would have thought that the visit to Tulum on the Mexican Riviera, or the one to Teotihuacán where my friend Pilar guided us and channeled the spirits of the land to integrate our masculine and feminine, and where we anchored A Thousand Dreams on Earth would have been the culmination days of the trip, but they weren’t.
To my surprise, what seemed to have been the pinnacle of the whole trip was the workshop. Indeed, there was a magical build-up, a great momentum, for that was the final day.
And a dear friend picked up on this. She knew both dreams (the one Adamus had shared at DreamWorlds and my own) but she chose not to wait: at a moving closing moment, she stood up, and then the eleven other attendees after her, to offer that forsaken applause.
I received it, naturally, but just as the minute before, I continue to be focused on getting the app out there.
The Vision
The passion comes from deep within, and I think my Soul is speaking when I say that this is no time to be humble: I always knew it would be big, I want the project to have an impact on global consciousness, and this is one of the many reasons why I incorporated the company in the USA. See the email, A Dream Come True, here.
The hole in my stomach is no more, but there is still so much to do. I continue to hold the space for Conscious Investors, BTW, and if you are an Omniscient Owl, please do get in touch, for I have yet to build a team capable of sustaining the vision.
In any case, it is a joy to do this, and in this quest there is no victory or defeat, at least not in human terms. Success is dual, what is, is not. This is only the free expression of my-Self, and I will be the first witness of where I take myself.
.
Our Duty to Share Dreams
I answered my own call, but this call is not only for me, dear Shaumbra, it is also for you. Your dreams are the template of the dreams that humanity will dream. They need to know them, they need to know how you relate to them, and the meaning you derive from them.
In the near future, A Thousand Dreams will provide you with the platform to be able to compile your valuable dreams for free, for a limited time, so use it; for some of the dreams we dream, I came to realize, we dreamers have a duty to share them with the world.
.
The future I see is full of Masters of Dreams that find their own wisdom through dreaming and are capable of changing their world, and the world, one dream at a time.
But if you don’t think your dreams are that relevant, remember what Galadriel told Frodo, while leaning forward to meet his eyes at his height:
“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”[4]
