From an Analytical Empath: Next Steps on the Metaphysical Path

As we continue along the metaphysical path, that takes us from the knotted center of the spiral onwards and adding space as we go, to the outer bands. This becomes the snail’s path too, the longer we’re on this path. Eventually, we look back to see how far we’ve come and observe the spiral! Thus, you glimpse what I’m talking about when I say, “Integrating the Spirals.” Ha!

When we integrate too fast, or begin to jog along the spiral snail’s path… we can hurt ourselves (as I did in January when I went from dancing to two songs–6 to 7 minutes of movement–to three songs! Ten minutes of dancing was simply too much for me! After all, I’d only been dancing daily for six months. What the heck was I thinking?

I am such a heady person. An analyst. A writer. Philosopher. Intellectual. And I sit a LOT! While my heart wants to love, I can still get stuck from time to time. I talk with folks on Zoom often and type every day, and forget to show my SELF care and love, as I might someone else (like my husband (who lives with me), son (who lives far away), and daughter, granddaughters, and son-in-law who all live next door)!

Doctoring

Thankfully, I had a chiropractor near that I could go see and try to get my body back online (and dance again). But for whatever reason, and though he was doing an aWEsOMe job on my neck, back, and such, I found that my shoulder would feel better, but then I’d have lower back sciatica! Ugh! And then I found this issue with a tendon in my foot (or so I’d thought). After a few more chiropractic sessions, I felt like I needed additional help with the foot.

I looked up “naturopaths near me,” because this is how I practice holism. (Smiling. Just kidding. Well, sort of.) and found my new doctor! I say that because I made an appointment and saw Dr. Paterson yesterday. Wow! He totally impressed me as he did quite a bit of myofascial release and positional release on my L5 spinal area, left knee, and left foot! Here’s his info page that describes some of that along with his story: https://centredownehealth.com/dr-brian-paterson/

Mixing it up

Hubby and I have been watching each of the Harry Potter movies on HBO. (No, we don’t subscribe to HBO, but the family does for a few months a year and we get an account through them.) So, I’ve never read the books, nor seen any of these before. So, now, I’m getting to watch all the child actors age a year or more every night as we view a new film. We’re up to about film #6 at this point. Wow! I can see why kids became so enraptured by these stories! How creative and imaginative is J.K. Rowling!?! Amazing!

Yesterday and today I had the JOY of meeting and talking with Gina Virginia Casella. We recorded a podcast conversation yesterday, so I’ll have a link from that to share here with you soon, as well as a gemstone reading (Gina’s own discovery – and you can see more here: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/) to uncover if/where I had any issues going on (and I do!) in, through, or around me.

Using metaphors, Gina offers ideas and then it’s up to me to know or feel how they may apply to my life currently. I’m sure a reading like that might change daily as our lives move on. It’s a bit like receiving a tarot reading.

Oh, and speaking of tarot, in my book club I learned that another participant has written a book, so I ordered it! Laurie Watts-Amato wrote a book to help us read our own tarot cards. It’s on Amazon and is called, Tarot Insights – and here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4vMdYsj

Lastly, for my Christian readers, I watched a couple of dynamite videos that I think you will LOVE!

I’ve followed Russell Brand for YEARS. I used to love his Under the Skin podcast and YouTube channel interviews and comedic take on the news. I know he’s evolved now, and while I questioned at first, why he chose Catholicism when he accepted Christ Jesus, I knew he would eventually let us in on his story and he has. Thus, I bought Russell Brand’s new book (How to become a Christian in 7 Days), on Kindle, and I’m reading a bit of it each night before I fall asleep. It’s been fantastic so far, AND bonus with it, I’m learning some new words! And yes, Russell tells us as we read along what those words mean, which is GREAT! Here are the links: https://youtu.be/ISETUBf6aoo?si=zEoRKY1z61BdGfPs

And someone new to me, Tim Alberino expounds upon a fascinating journey through Bible times and talks about giants here: https://youtu.be/CiQTBOQ1dTg?si=Cqil8CJbBQoZmRGs

I know I’ve given you several links already, but as I only found out this morning and had this post in draft prior, let me add one more. David Wilcock has purportedly taken his own life. While many of us who have watched David for YEARS (mostly on Gaia TV), it’s hard to believe–we know these things can happen to anyone. Circumstances in life, body pain, or foul play can happen anytime, anywhere. I’m sharing this video to honor and respect the sensitive man, the parapsychology teacher, and the astounding researcher David was: https://www.youtube.com/live/VbXvRyKeWp8?si=dOnA8Zv_ijOGaHHb Blessings to David’s friends and family at this sad time.

If you’re still here, I’d ask for prayers and loving vibes to be sent along to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family too.

Integrating the Spirals: Can our thoughts be read?

In my new book,We Are All Connected: The How and The Why we take a look at a profound mystery—how could I have heard words spoken in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep: “We are all connected.” But also, it seems as mystical that people can read other’s minds. And we know that is true because of government programs like MK Ultra. We also know that thoughts, or at least brain waves (brain activity) can be read OUTSIDE of a human skull. A magnetoencephalograph proves it.

Yes, as I wrote in my book, I am fascinated by the magnetoencephalograph, ever since first hearing of it from Dr. Bruce Lipton on one of our monthly zoom calls.

I asked Perplexity.ai “Tell me more about the convergence of science between the magnetoencephelograph and reading human thoughts” and here’s what I found out:

The convergence is real, but it is still decoding brain signals, not literally reading thoughts in a mind-to-mind sense. MEG helps because it measures brain activity with millisecond timing, and recent AI methods are using those signals to reconstruct words, sentences, or the gist of a person’s experience with increasing accuracy.

What MEG contributes

MEG, or magnetoencephalography, records tiny magnetic fields produced by neural activity outside the head, which makes it useful for studying fast language and cognition processes. Its biggest advantage in thought-decoding research is temporal precision: it can track how representations unfold moment by moment, even if it is less spatially exact than fMRI.

How “thought reading” works

In practice, researchers train machine-learning models on a person’s brain data while that person listens, reads, types, or imagines language. The model then learns statistical links between brain patterns and intended words, visual concepts, or sentence structure, which lets it reconstruct a likely text or meaning output.

Where the convergence is strongest

The strongest overlap between MEG and thought-decoding is in language, inner speech, reading, and visual imagery. Recent work reports that MEG can support decoding of sentences typed by participants and that brain activity contains dynamic language codes that help separate letters, syllables, and words over time.

Limits and cautions

This is not general-purpose mind reading. The systems are usually personalized, work best when the participant cooperates, and depend on training data from the same person or task; they also still make errors and do not capture private thoughts reliably outside controlled experiments.

Why it matters

The scientific convergence is between neuroscience, signal processing, and AI. That combination could eventually help people with paralysis, ALS, or speech loss communicate, while also raising serious privacy questions about neural data and consent.

A simple way to think about it is this: MEG is like a very fast microphone for brain timing, and AI is the translator trying to infer the words behind the signal. The microphone is impressive, but the translation is still probabilistic, not omniscient.

It’s not all Woo anymore!

If you get what I’m suggesting in this blog post and even understand what a magnetoencephalograph does, even just a bit—you’re already in alignment with quantum physics. Yes, indeed, we already live in a world of modern research that proves we live within a vast, vibrating field of frequencies and forces that tie galaxies together and shape every cell in your body. What ancient mystics called oneness, scientists now describe as entanglement and coherence. I’m simply here to bring this message out to the forefront.

Everything is Spiritual

My exploration is not only scientific—it’s deeply personal. I believe we can reclaim our sovereignty and cultivate self‑love, along with love for others, when we strengthen and open our hearts and minds for authentic connection.

If you’re into scientists and authors such as Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, Neale Donald Walsch, Nassim Haramein, Donna Eden, Barbara Brennan, Raymond Moody, or William Peters, you’ll find (like I have) that the “woo” quickly becomes “wow” when you dig deep.

Look at it this way, the “woo” is simply shorthand for wonder. The wonder of realizing that our thoughts matter. That fear, bias, and self‑doubt can cloud our inner mirror. And that when we polish that mirror of Self—when we love ourselves enough to shine—we add clarity and brilliance to the collective diamond that is humanity. It really isn’t any wonder that the first song my husband and I wrote (while we were dating long distance over twenty years ago) is called, Wonderin’. (See the video of us performing it live on the home page of this blog site.)

I invite you to read my new book

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you at the sight of a starry sky, or sensed a connection you couldn’t explain, then you’ve already touched the essence of “We are all connected.”

Ask yourself: How woo‑woo are you willing to be if it helps you remember that you’re never alone, always part of one breathing, beating universe?

Because maybe woo‑woo isn’t fringe—it’s the invitation for us to wonder again.

A cure to loneliness; a new purpose

A short title, but long article today because as I sat in meditation regarding the question of ‘loneliness’ a list began to come to me, and I wanted to get that down on virtual paper. As well, or maybe to begin with, I recalled a saying that a preacher of mine, back when I used to attend a interdenominational church, used to say, “Loneliness isn’t a lack of people, but a lack of purpose.” He may have been a fraud, but I’ve held onto that message as a truism for over thirty years.

I attended that interdenominational church for about two years in the early 1990s (during a time when I had questioned the religion I’d been raised in).

The man whom I had lived with for a year and left, came back to me saying he’d “found Jesus” and that there was a church close to his house where we could attend and take my two children. Though I wasn’t sure I could trust him, I played along and attended that new church, as well as attend and teach some classes at some folks’ home where we had little home church meetings of my original church. My second ex-husband and I had that interdenominational preacher baptize us in the ocean together. And we married in that church. I had even enrolled my two children in that church’s private Christian school for a few months, which turned out to be a disaster. The whole marriage turned out to be a disaster too, but no need to go into that.

Perhaps needless to say, I never officially left my original church and that interdenominational church preacher ended up absconding with church monies and left the area with the church secretary. I’ve always wondered what happened to his beautiful wife and their children. Sad. Also, I hate to say it, but I’ve seen that kind of thing happen in all kinds of churches over the course of my life. That just happened to be the only one I’d ever put my personal time and money into! Let alone, my second ex-husband had never truly been “saved” either.

But daresay, I still believe “Loneliness isn’t a lack of people, but a lack of purpose.” If that was the one lesson I brought with me out of that debacle, maybe it was worth it.

Cure to loneliness

The short list to cure loneliness that dropped into my mind goes something like this:

  • Because even empty space is not actually empty, it is impossible for any of us to “be alone.”
  • We are loved by the creator of the universe more than we could possibly fathom.
  • While being in community feels good and each human has a drive to live and work in community, some of us can function well and enjoy a good life while living alone, as long as we have a strong sense of purpose.
  • When someone feels lonely, it is because they are focusing on an unmet need; humans often feel they need emotional support or physical touch from others.

I wrote about this topic years ago as well; I’ll share the previous post with you again: https://sheilamurrey.net/2016/04/03/take-it-spiritually-upon-yourself/

Speaking of purpose, I never feel lonely not matter what is going on, because I have a laptop nearly full of writing topics that if I live another twenty years, I sincerely doubt I will get everything done I have on my list to do, much less books on the shelf to read, and an insatiable curiosity to learn more! Though yes, I know, the Bible says I don’t need to “lean on my own understanding.” But God gave me a brain too, so there’s that! Smiling.

Apologetics research

In addition, I wanted to introduce you to a term you may not have heard of before. That term is Apologetics. The definition I’ll go with comes from a teacher I have only recently begun to follow, and that is Bishop Josh Turner from The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The word may remind you quickly of the word, Apology, and there’s some truth to where we’re going with that. But per Wes Huff, who I credit in leading me back to Christ in 2025. And to clarify, I will say that while I lean not to dogma nor my conditioning (insofar that any of us can de-program ourselves of past conditioning, which is an ongoing process), I have used further study to bolster my faith in Christ Jesus. And this is what I refer to when I say Wes, “led me back” to Christ.

I’ll say that my Interfaith, New Thought, and Unity studies led me to people like Billy Carson and Russell Brand. There were others, many others, but for purposes of this article, I’ll name them simply because I would not have found Wes Huff had it not been for Billy Carson. And when Russell converted to Catholicism, I had to take a huge pause and sit with “What the heck is going on?” And I had to realize that perhaps I had been getting led astray, though my knowing that Omniscience God covers ALL wouldn’t let me go down a path, any path, that would cost me my soul. And beyond that, I knew from the metaphysical experiences I’d had that at any point, I could be rescued if rescuing was needed.

Here’s the Wes Huff video that turned my spiritual life back around: https://youtu.be/F7ngjtT43-4?si=b0MAicbmvHmpBJZ3

I spent several months going back over previous Billy Carson videos I’d watched and then exploring Aaron Abke and Wes Huff videos, not just the ones where they hashed stuff out, but also, some of their individual videos. I also became a member of 4DU (the online university of Aaron Abke’s where he offers a community–and I made some friends there, as well as, I paid for a couple of his classes, one being the Ontology of Christ). When I tell you I did a deep dive on this topic, let me assure you, I did!

And here’s the first of six videos from Bishop Josh Turner that I’m currently watching on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/live/W87nNpAZV84?si=-HT6y2yDQHW25Oc1

My religious background

My religious history involves a kind of convoluted story. I’m technically still a member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now known as the Community of Christ; I was baptized into it when I was 8 years of age), and my uncle is a pastor of the Remnant Church, which carries direct lineage from the original church that was organized by Joseph Smith Jr. in 1830. And the Remnant considers itself to be the “one true church” the same as the Reorganized church had. And the whole idea of any “one true church” is what caused me to leave and continue seeking, as in my heart and mind I feel anyone who truly follows Christ Jesus is a member of His church, and no human organization has the right to claim themselves as the “one true church.”

Additionally, I take issue with the fact that the Remnant church is headquartered near the Temple Lot in Independence, Missouri, which is directly across the street from the Independence Temple (that my mother, aunt, and grandmother all contributed money to during it’s building phase), that is now home of the Community of Christ (which, for whatever reason really annoys me). I know that’s TMI and confusing, but that’s what happens when someone, or a small faction within a church disagrees with some dogma and then splits off to form their own organization.

When I read that the Remnant Church maintains a belief in a geophysical Zion, I think that follows the original teaching from the time of Joseph Smith Jr., that Zion would be raised up on the earth in Independence, Missouri. For sure that empty Temple Lot was where it was prophesied would be the place where the final temple would be built. Thus, Zion would not be raised in any other country, especially NOT Israel. The Remnant church lists their foundational beliefs, as written by Joseph Smith Jr. on the Remnant Church’s website as “Our Epitome of Faith.”

About the church names, not that it may matter, but in the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints was, in the 1970s and 1980s was highly criticized by members within and is why the Remnant church split off from it. Some of the issues involved whether to allow women to hold priesthood status and to end the lineal succession doctrine concerning the prophet president, and when and where to build the Independence temple. My mom was okay with a few of the changes as presented, but when it came to women holding priesthood office, the lineal succession, and new name for the church–that’s where she drew the line. But we never got her church membership changed from the Community of Christ to the Remnant church, and that is something I would still like to do, especially when I get my membership changed.

A descendant of Joseph Smith, Jr. by April 2002, Frederick Niels Larsen was chosen as the President of the High Priesthood and prophet of the Remnant Church until his death on April 26, 2019. Following his death, Terry Wayne Patience became President of the High Priesthood/Prophet/President of the church on June 29, 2019 during a special conference of the church.

How woo-woo are you?

“How woo‑woo are you?” It’s a question that tends to make people smile, cringe, or lean in. Some wear the label proudly—crystals, moon charts, and oracle decks in hand—while others back away, insisting they stick only to “the facts.” But what if the line between science and spirituality isn’t as sharp as we think?

That’s where We Are All Connected: The How and The Why steps in. The book began with a midnight mystery—two words spoken aloud in an empty house: “We are all connected.” Those words sparked a twenty‑year quest into what that message truly means, from the cosmos to the human heart.

So, how woo‑woo are you really? Let’s find out.

Meme: I am Infinite Awareness; a Fractal of Omniscience. And so are YOU. We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

Woo‑Woo Meets Physics

If you believe everything is energy, congratulations—you’re already in alignment with quantum physics. Modern research shows that we live within a vast, vibrating field of frequencies and forces that tie galaxies together and shape every cell in your body. What ancient mystics called oneness, scientists now describe as entanglement and coherence.

The “woo‑woo” mindset simply asks: If the entire universe is interconnected, what does that say about us? Every emotion, thought, and choice ripples outward through those unseen fields. In We Are All Connected, Sheila Murrey weaves together cosmology, biology, and noetic science to show that the human experience is both physical and profoundly energetic.

The Spiritual Side of Everyday Life

Murrey’s journey is not just scientific—it’s deeply personal. Healing codependency and reclaiming sovereignty became essential steps toward realizing that love and boundaries aren’t opposites. They’re two sides of the same coin. When we cultivate self‑love, we strengthen the heartspace that allows authentic connection.

This isn’t about escaping the human experience—it’s about fully inhabiting it. Meditation, hypnosis, and those uncanny synchronicities that show up when we least expect them aren’t fluff; they’re invitations to notice how life itself keeps proving that we’re part of something greater.

From Woo to Wow

Whether you’re drawn to Bruce Lipton’s biology, Nassim Haramein’s unified field theories, or Raymond Moody’s research on near‑death experiences, you’ll find that the “woo” quickly becomes “wow” once you trace it far enough. Modern technology, ancestry, sociology, and psychology all reveal invisible networks that link us to each other and to Omniscience itself.

So maybe “woo‑woo” is just shorthand for wonder. The wonder of realizing that our thoughts matter. That fear, bias, and self‑doubt can cloud our inner mirror. And that when we polish that mirror of Self—when we love ourselves enough to shine—we add clarity and brilliance to the collective diamond that is humanity.

The Invitation

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you at the sight of a starry sky, or sensed a connection you couldn’t explain, then you’ve already touched the essence of “We are all connected.”

Ask yourself: How woo‑woo are you willing to be if it helps you remember that you’re never alone, always part of one breathing, beating universe?

Because maybe woo‑woo isn’t the fringe—it’s the bridge.

Integrating the Spirals: Exploring The Last Deception

Yes, the title drew me in too. I feel we’ve been deceived many times, not only by our politicians, but by the powers that be, belief systems, books, creeds, dogmas and perhaps, gasp, even unseen forces.

From watching The Lazarus Initiative’s Symposium 55, I really dug into The Last Deception: The Collapse Of The Abrahamic Spell conversation between Sacha Stone and special guest, Dave Emery. Those of you who ordered and/or are currently reading my new book, may have already noticed I pull several quotes from guests, and Sacha as well, from my time watching/listening to the interviews and conversations within the most recent symposiums on The Lazarus Initiative. I’m a Bronze level member of the group.

This talk is billed as “a forensic examination of inherited belief structures and how they continue to shape power, geopolitics, and collective psychology.” And it turns out that is a good way to describe it.

Dave opens by presenting some astonishing and albeit, controversial information and lays out a case for why we seem to do things without thinking, or things that we later wonder “why did I do that”? And that is because we’re being vicariously lived through (by angelic or fallen ones), who created a language matrix within us so we’d live out of our heads and not our hearts. It’s deep discussion that I feel I would need to listen to many times, along with reading Dave’s book, Beyond the Biblical and Into The Universe of You, to dare understand. But if this interests you, you may want to join the Lazarus Initiative and do the same. I have several other books to read first though, so I may return to this in a year or so. I will say, it interests me though it may also be misleading me or taking me off the snail’s path to veer into further mysteries! In other words, I may simply not be up to the task!

During the talk Dave said, (and I quote but also cut some out for brevity’s sake), “Christianity was taken over effectively around 325 AD, exploding very quickly into the minds and hearts of men and women throughout the mediterranean. Once the Romans became involved (think Constantine about 313 AD), it was clear to the controllers/elites trying to control the geosocial pattern and behaviors of humanity, that if they weren’t careful, Christianity could begin to action things of Melchizedek; I Am codes, sacred codes by which we were to live. The Cathars were becoming important and were totally into the sacred codes. There was a great need not just to control the narrative through the Bible that was carefully vetted and organized through the 325 AD Council of Nicea and a great need to sideline humanity from the sacredness of the Christos. As a result, it’s curious that Abraham, the instigator of the Christian one God religion, Jehovah, should suddenly, also miraculously through a servant girl, Hagar, and her son called, Ishmael, manifest a competing religion. Originally, it didn’t compete but very quickly it did. And that became (now he quoted Sacha, an excellent mechanism for ‘divide and conquer’). That would set one group of angelic humans against another. And that would spread across the world and completely control and reinforce the matrix code to ‘do as you are told’, with rules and regulations. Very little of this has actually changed (laws and orders); but some are waking up. Most continue to follow the code religiously (pun intended).”

Dave Emery’s writing on religion appears to argue that biblical faith has profoundly shaped Western history, but that human history and identity extend far beyond a strictly biblical framework. His work presents religion as part of a larger story of hidden, ancient, and often overlooked cultural forces, rather than as the whole explanation for civilization. And yes, I found myself disagreeing with Dave on a few points within his talk with Sacha Stone. But since I agree that we should “do away with dogma” in general, I do believe the person of Christ Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago and performed every miracle as recorded in the New Testament. I know some of you will agree with me and some will vehemently disagree. This post is mostly for those who disagree, which is why I titled it “Exploring The Last Deception.” I attempt to keep an open mind though, as that’s what I teach/share in Integrating the Spirals.

Dave’s main ideas

  • Dave treats the Bible as historically influential in law, finance, morality, and cultural development, especially in Western societies.
  • He questions why the Bible has had such a central role and uses that question as a starting point for broader historical inquiry.
  • He argues that the real human story is “way more ancient” than a book about religion or God, suggesting that religion is only one layer of a much larger narrative.
  • His language implies skepticism toward inherited religious explanations and a desire to move “beyond the biblical” toward deeper or forgotten origins.

Comparatively speaking

Dave’s writing seems exploratory, mystical, and revisionist rather than devotional or doctrinal. It is less about defending a tradition and more about reinterpreting religious history as part of a hidden framework of human development.

While I agree that the Bible has influenced our laws, financially, morally, and culturally I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Unless of course, we do not want to be beholden to a “rule of law” and want to be sovereign individuals. But then, as sovereign individuals, who holds us accountable? Who guides our morality? And who punishes those evil doers, such as the murderers, rapists, pedofiles, etc.?

I’ll add this for your consideration, it’s part of what I’ve learned from the little pamphlet by E. Raymond Capt, “Abrahamic Covenant” that states, “Going back to the establishment of the first colonies, we find that in 1606, King James I of England, who issued the first Charter, began with these words: “We greatly commending, and graciously accepting of, their desires for the furtherance of so noble a work, which may be the providence of Almighty God, hereafter tend to the glory of His Divine Majesty, in propagating the Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness and miserable ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God.” And subsequent Charters in 1609 and 1611 contain the same religious reference. Pilgrim fathers who risked their lives and limbs to cross the sea did so “for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith.”

Now, Dave’s points seem to say that our Christian faith, and those of these early American pilgrims had been overtaken or hijacked by ethereal parties for their own intended purposes, as so to deceive us from the true Light of Christ. And perhaps that could be true, but to what end I ask? What might their goal be?

Continuing a bit more from Capt’s pamphlet, “In 1620, the Pilgrims, in their tiny boat the Mayflower, crossed the broad Atlantic to accomplish the noble words expressed in their now famous compact: “Having undertaken for the glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia.”

Spiral thought: A lot seemed to be going on in the early 1600s! Consider this: The Apocrypha (14 books of the Bible) were removed from the Protestant Bible, primarily in the 19th century, though they were separated by Martin Luther in the 16th century. These books—which appeared in the 1611 King James Bible—were excluded because they were not in the Hebrew Bible and were deemed less authoritative than canonical texts. Curious, like I am, about what these 14 books were and what’s in them? Stay tuned for my next post!

The Last Deception in one sentence

Emery’s writing on religion reframes the Bible as an important historical force, but not the final explanation for human history, which he believes is much older, broader, and more mysterious.

The main thesis of The Last Deception is that the Bible predicts a final, end-times deception in which Satan counterfeits God’s work and leads people away from truth before Christ’s return. And I find that interesting since Dave told Sacha that he didn’t believe in a specific person named, Christ Jesus. Unless in his book he’s referring to the return of the Christ Consciousness (and while I allow room for that, it seems illogical to me to believe in THAT yet not believe in the son of Almighty God in the personage of a man named, Christ Jesus (remember, ‘Christ’ is a title).

The piece frames this deception as more than ordinary false teaching: it is a climactic spiritual delusion tied to the “lawless one,” the restraining of evil, and the role of Satan in the last days. It presents the coming deception as a counterfeit of divine indwelling and a warning that people can be persuaded into accepting falsehood as truth.

Dave’s central message seems to be: the end of history will feature a powerful, spiritually dangerous lie, and believers need to recognize it before it takes hold. Thus, The Lazarus Initiative’s Symposium 55, held my attention through the discussion of The Last Deception: The Collapse Of The Abrahamic Spell between Sacha Stone and special guest, Dave Emery. But I will need to sit with the information for a while, and get through some other books before I delve further.

Perhaps, I am content on this Good Friday, in my current knowledge and belief system, guided by my forefathers who crossed the vast Atlantic, and the steadfastness of our American founding fathers who framed our Constitution. If only the people who now hold the power of our government would align with that and work within its framework, not against it.

While we may have been, and may continue to be deceived by our politicians, so-called leaders within the Epstein class, the powers that be, belief systems, books, creeds, dogmas and even unseen forces, one truth remains clear (at least to me), Omniscience God always prevails. May you all be blessed this Easter by remembering that our Lord, Christ Jesus of Nazareth is an eternal living being and loves each of us more than we can currently comprehend.

OM. Namaste. Amen.

UPDATED paperback book NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.

Yes, my husband has always said I’d never be able to unalive myself because I would never be able to finish my suic*de note, alas, here I am AGAIN with an announcement involving this PAPERBACK book! LOL! I had to update my 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers because one of my most dedicated readers, Brenda F. (who wrote a beautiful review on Amazon for my Blue Eyes book), and who had waited patiently for Amazon to get the paperback made available, since it was supposed to Go Live on March 18th, but didn’t. You see, she got the first copy of We Are All Connected in paperback and then because the text was a bit blurry, couldn’t read it! She and I were both devastated!

Thus, I knew what I had to do. I had to go back into Scrivener and change the fonts on the original manuscript, (several times actually) so I could ensure the final page count was at least close to the original 629 pages so I wouldn’t have to pay to have the cover redone! And believe me, I gave Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing a piece of my mind about that! It’s not easy to update a manuscript and know what the final page count would be until it’s uploaded again–and that’s a whole process too!

Now, I’m thrilled to say the updated paperback is AVAILABLE on Amazon! Woo-hoo doesn’t begin to cover it either! And because Brenda helped me improve the paperback, I’m sending her a signed copy for FREE! That’s just how I am. I’m so happy that she told me there was an issue, as my daughter had told me she also thought the typeface was blurry, but we had thought that was because we were looking at proof copies. I seriously thought it was an issue with the printing service! Ugh. No, it was my choice of fonts. Now, it’s in Times New Roman 16 point size, and I expanding the line spacing as well. I actually thought it would expand the number of pages, so I removed some images. So, if you bought the eBook, you’ll actually see more images than will appear in the paperback. There’s a plus for you. I have no plans to update the eBook, yet. I can do it pretty easily, but I’m torn. I liked all the original images I’d included. I’m waiting to see how the eBook sells. If people like it, I’m going to leave it as is. I have a few readers actually listening to it on their phones! Apparently, there’s a setting on phones that reads eBooks to you–I didn’t know that! (Why do people do Audible books then? I don’t know. Enlighten me!)

I worked near night and day for three days to get the formatting changed. It wasn’t just so simple as changing it in one place and having Scrivener update it all the way through–though that does work beautifully if one doesn’t do what I did, and setup different styles! Ugh! It seems every time I write a book I make some silly mistake and cost myself time. And that’s exactly what happened!

So, if you’d like to help me out and order a paperback copy, I’d really appreciate it! I know it may not be your cup of tea, but I’m willing to bet you that you know that certain someone in your circle who would love to receive a copy as a GIFT! And it would mean the world to me if this book sells well. Not just for the money, but as a wink that all my work has not been in vain. Plus, I’d simply love for more people to know what I now know. I learned so much during the research of this book!

NEW paperback book NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers.

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers is NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon! Woo-hoo!

We’re taking the WOO out of the box for sure with this one! This book has been more than 20 years in the making. If you feel drawn to big questions about how we’re all connected (science, spirituality, and real life), and are looking for the big and deep answers, this is IT! This book blends science, spirituality, and personal experience, and follows my analytical mind’s 20‑year journey for how—and why—we might truly be connected.

This book dives into quantum science, spirituality, and personal stories about connection. It explores questions like “Are we really separate individuals, or fractals of one whole?” and “What does it mean to live as if connection is real?” If that’s your kind of rabbit hole, I’d love for you to read it. I’m sooo excited!!!

Wow! Who does that?!? (And that’s why I gave Andy a shout out in the book)!

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why.

The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! MARCH 18th, 2026 –> Is Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. And that’s why I wanted to launch my 5th book on THAT DATE as a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

March 8th is the anniversary of the day of my daddy’s soul departure–see my previous post regarding that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/

I owe a huge THANK YOU to Lauren Scott (see her blog at: https://laurenscottdev.wordpress.com), who’s comment motivated every day these last few months to complete, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. Yes, every author needs motivation to complete their work.

I had been procrastinating for a YEAR, as my fellow author and blogger buddy Michael (80smetalman: https://80smetalman.wordpress.com and https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com ) will attest! Michael and I have been meeting on Zoom calls for more than a year, as he’s completing a second follow up book to He Was Weird, and I had been sitting on the manuscript for my 5th book for months and months. I was uninspired to finish it since my previous books were not selling and I’d been convinced it was due to Amazon algorithms pushing them down in the list. Ugh. But Lauren, wow! This one comment of hers helped more than I’d ever thought it could:

I’d sure appreciate if you’d check out, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why! Here’s the link to order it from Amazon. And when Amazon releases the paperback version, it will show up there as well.

p.s. I go back to the chiropractor next Tuesday to see what he says about my two numb toes. I hope it’s nothing serious (and maybe only related to the sciatica, which I also hope he’ll fix), so I can get back to dancing again.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to observe and gently question their thought patterns, pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’ to ease grief and suffering, and gain new perspectives–that’s why I teach Integrating the Spirals. AND I also encourage all of us to move our bodies more consistently (most of us are stuck in our heads and physically unhealthy because of it). We can do better! We can become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. And it’s healthy to expand our consciousness and question EVERYTHING! Just observe, don’t absorb.

We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. Available for preorder now with publish date of March 18th, 2026

My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers is now available for preorder (the eBook / Kindle version) with the publish date of March 18th, 2026 for the 600+ page paperback. I’m sooo excited!!!

But he was the first thought I had this morning, and nearly jumped up to check what the date was today!

I asked about twenty friends if they recommended a trusted source for someone to work with me on getting any future paperback books into Kindle Create / KDP for Amazon publishing, but only one actually knew a person, one knew someone who had recently published but that person was unavailable to answer yet as they are on a cruise, and another suggested a publisher. When I told her I wasn’t looking for a publisher, they suggested a new software tool, which I think is going to be like Scrivener.

I already use Scrivener and think it could have probably did more for me to improve the formatting of my manuscript, but I am not an expert in it. Thus, I’m not going to try another new piece of software before becoming expert in Scrivener. And by the time I become an expert in that, I will either start charing money to teach others how to use it, or I will start churning out more books myself! Ha!

Again, the paperback book publishing date is: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it (though I am not sure if the eBook purchases count towards bestseller status, but it sure helps me financially), or set a reminder for yourself to order the paperback on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon.

I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.

p.s. I just got Richard to dance with me and put a couple different videos of that on YouTube at the link below. One is a full view of his music room and the other is a “short” that I had to record from off my laptop, because I couldn’t create a short from the full view video. One has to create and upload a “short” from their phone. Go figure! Limited technology.

Book Launch date is set! We Are All Connected: The How and The Why drops March 18th, 2026

I’m excited to tell you that I’m currently wrapping up the final touches on the formatting for Kindle Direct Publishing to launch this much anticipated 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I have been working nearly night and day the last several months to birth this incredible book and believe me, I’m beat! (I don’t think I have another book in me at this point!)

Meme: I created this in Canva. I actually do have a Visual Communications / Digital Design degree, from back in 2004. But though I have paid for Canva in the past, I didn’t want to pay them again and continue to have issues with the cover, so I hired a book cover designer on Fiverr. I’ll focus on making fun memes like this in Canva for free in support of launching the new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why, on March 18th, 2026!

Here’s the link where you can preorder, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. (The link will take you to my Amazon author page).

If it doesn’t work yet, it will in a few days. I’m still making final page edits (to ensure new chapters start on the right hand side page, and that the headers and footers that KDP adds, will be removed, because I already have page numbers and book title on the manuscript that match the Table of Contents. Ugh! It’s such a process!

I’ve really been doing a juggling act (and I’m also learning juggling right now too, in another Zoom group I’m in), because I’ve also been on social media a bit more every day to market the book… here’s a few of my posts:

It’s a big scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

Meme: My post on Facebook to announce the books launch date. –Sheila Murrey
Meme: Earlier post to announce the launch of my 5th book, We Are All Connected. –Sheila Murrey

If I ever write another book, I will pay someone to do the KDP part. The older I get the less techie I want to be, though I did have to fix a book cover error that my Fiverr book cover designer couldn’t figure out today (and it didn’t help that KDP didn’t provide a REASON for the error, when it wouldn’t upload.) Ugh!

Screen capture: View of the book cover error in KDP. I still have no idea what was wrong with it.

But here you can see my comment to the Fiverr designer of what I did to fix the error and get the book cover file to upload successfully into KDP:

Screen capture: My comments in Fiverr to the book cover designer. The last comment includes my fix.
Screen capture: View of the book cover in KDP: We Are All Connected: The How and The Why

Another dilemma I have is that I wanted to print the paperback in color, that is, with a color interior so all of the images in the book will be in color. None of my other books had color interiors, and I really wanted that for this book. But it’s 630 pages in a 7×10 size. KDP will only print in color for books under 600 pages.

I will offer a Kindle version of the book (EPUB), and all of the images will be in color, so at least everyone will have that option. Plus, the ebook will be less expensive. I love ebooks to save trees! And searching through books for various things is sooo much easier too. Hehe!

Again, the book launch date as: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it or buy it on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon. I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to observe and gently question their thought patterns, pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’ to ease grief and suffering, and gain new perspectives–that’s why I teach Integrating the Spirals. AND I also encourage all of us to move our bodies more consistently (most of us are stuck in our heads and physically unhealthy because of it). We can do better! We can become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. And it’s healthy to expand our consciousness and question EVERYTHING! Just observe, don’t absorb.

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude sprinkled throughout.)

Nighttime thoughts: Reflections on mortality and our Connections


As I was falling asleep a few nights ago, I caught myself pondering on a question. What happens to our atoms, molecules, and photons of light (that each of us are made of) after we die? Do we dissipate or dissolve?

In particular I was musing on what happens to our earthly shell (if one is blown up or depart this earth in some other way where there’s not much left of the body). I thought about cremation. And I considered how our earthly bodies must slowly disintegrate when we’re buried in the earth.

I grabbed my phone, turned the Otter app on, and let it transcribe these seemingly profound thoughts for me. I’d never had thoughts quite like these before, though I did think about mortality a lot after my mom passed in 2017 and my dad passed in 2019. We even wrote a song several years ago on this topic called, The Connection.

We’ve performed The Connection Live too (back when we lived off the grid and my son had shaved my head: https://vimeo.com/416782385 is the song, and this was my little intro to the song: https://vimeo.com/416781395

Perhaps, back in 2004 when I heard those words in the middle of the night, We Are All Connected, it was my body talking to me (and that every cell in my body was connected with Richard)!

That the voice I’d heard was somehow uttered back to me? Because Richard and I had been on vacation, and we had experienced such a beautiful night together. I don’t know. But I remember that I felt complete. Whole. And that night was definitely one of the best nights of our life together, yet it was only the beginning!

Continuing on the whole topic of Connection (and possibly the afterlife), Richard also wrote a song recently called, Upload me. I love it! You can hear it at: https://youtu.be/4_hnGJArchM?si=vp5jeQhjNn-hkxwv

And here’s one of my dance/music videos using this song, Upload me: https://youtu.be/ipNeeBtcY_8?si=VWb82jyIO5VE1V2m

Reason for these meandering thoughts

I’m currently editing my 5th book, We Are All Connected. I was hoping to have the manuscript done by now (mid-February 2026), but I think I need a few more weeks. I keep waking up late at night with an idea of how to explain something better, or run chapters back through AI to ensure I haven’t forgotten something. I am using AI to help me reduce the size of the book. You all know how wordy I am. Ha!

I’ve sure written a lot about our ‘connections’:

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

Aspects of The Trinity: Where did God come from? (A series extra)

This is one of the best answers I’ve heard to this question,

“Where did God come from?“

I’m adding this as an extra to the Trinity series, as this man’s answer speaks to the Trinity.

I LOVE THIS!!! I love this so much that I’m adding this YouTube link to my book now too! Yes, I commented on the YouTube video as well!

As you know, I relate to an ever-living, infinite, limitless, Omniscience God that doesn’t need me to explain or defend its existence or Presence! Woo-hoo! OM

An extra to the series on Aspects of The Trinity.

For the basis of this series, check out this post (where I will also list all the links to each part of the series in case you miss any):
