In my last video I explained that humanity had entered one continuous energetic corridor stretching from the Day Out of Time and Galactic New Year through to the Lion's Gate and finally the eclipse on the 12th of August. Today we take the next step. The Lion's Gate is often misunderstood as a single spiritual event. I believe it is something much bigger. It represents the point where everything that has already been building beneath the surface reaches one of its highest levels of coherence before beginning to anchor itself into physical reality.
This is not an ordinary Lion's Gate. Every year we experience the power of the eighth day of the eighth month, but 2026 is different. This year the entire date itself also reduces to the number eight, creating what many spiritual teachers are now calling the Triple Eight Lion's Gate. The first eight comes from the eighth day. The second eight comes from the eighth month. The third eight is found when the entire date is added together. Eight plus eight plus two plus zero plus two plus six equals twenty-six, and two plus six equals eight. Three eights, one portal. Then, just four days later, we move into one of the most powerful solar eclipses of the decade. The question is not whether something is changing. The question is whether you are ready for what comes next.
THE 888 PORTAL Lions gate This Year
Day = 8
Month = 8
Full date = 8 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 26
Then reduces 26: 2 + 6 = 8
In this video we explore:
Why so many people are suddenly experiencing overwhelming tiredness, brain fog, vivid dreams and emotional releases.
Why consciousness always changes before the physical body catches up.
The hidden relationship between Sirius, the Great Pyramids and the Lion's Gate.
The Three Planetary Grids and why they become so important during this period.
What Sixth Density consciousness actually is.
Why the days after the 8th of August may be even more important than the day itself.
How the eclipse on the 12th completes this entire energetic process.
Whether you experience these changes physically, emotionally or spiritually, I hope this discussion helps you better understand what may be unfolding both within you and across humanity.
If you can survive this August, you will have integrated exactly 76% of the field of energy of an ascending planet culminating in 2030. Today I'm going to be talking about the Lion's Gate, the buildup, what it will look like, what it will feel like, how it will affect you. Then on the day what'll happen, what it will look like, how it will affect you, and then the days afterwards, what it will look like, what it will feel like, and again, how it will affect you. And then after that, what'll happen there-afters. Here we go.
About 12 days ago, I released a video explaining that we were approaching what would become one of the most significant energetic periods of the entire year. At that time, I spoke about three different events acting together as one huge continuous energetic wave. The first one, the day out of time, the galactic new year, and then the Lion's gate, then the powerful integration, then that follows afterwards. I've described it as an energetic corridor, a passage through which consciousness itself would then begin accelerating long before the physical body would then fully understand what was actually even taking place. Today I want to return to that conversation because something very important is now unfolding. We are no longer approaching that corridor because we're actually inside of it. The crossing has already taken place or for what many sensitives around the world know as the incoming Sirian energies at the galactic level that portal themselves through the opening of the Lion's Gate on the 8th of this month, and for many of you, your consciousnesses will have already moved several octaves beyond where it was only just weeks ago. Whether you're conscious of it or not, the reason this can sometimes create confusion is because the body has not yet fully caught up with where consciousness has already arrived. This is why I received mail from all around the world describing the overwhelming tiredness that comes through, digestive issues, strange aches throughout the body ringing in the ears, the vivid dreams, the emotional releases that follow in the days afterwards. During this period, the memory lapses, the brain fog that seems to come out of nowhere when we are building up to these portals and the difficulty concentrating.
I was watching a very well-known YouTuber in the spiritual community the other day whose video came up when I was cooking my dinner saying, "It's really weird, but I can't seem to think or concentrate. Am I being psychically attacked or something else coming in?” People often ask me about the headaches and the migraines, which I quickly want to address, which can sometimes get worse leading up to these portals because this often presents when there is a block in consciousness expanding in the mental template because of outdated thoughts and beliefs which are creating that level of resistance in consciousness, like a transformer, shall we say, having to carry more voltage than it was actually designed for. That's why that presents as that in the physical body.
But moving on, regards the physical experiences many others are feeling all around the world. It is what I expected would happen when humanity r moved through the day out of time and the galactic new year because those two events were never actually a destination. They were more of a doorway. Think of them like this, like stepping onto one of those walkways you get at an airport where you're moving along. You're on that that elevator, that walkway that's moving, but you're standing still. The moment you step onto it, you are already moving even if your legs have not adjusted to the speed beneath you, and that is where humanity now finds itself. What we're experiencing now is the journey between the doorway and the threshold. Energetically, you're still at that airport conveyor belt standing still, moving you forward, but it's now speeding up towards the 8th as we get closer to this Lion Gate's energy. It's getting faster. Now, this is why I describe the days leading up to the Lion's Gate as the corridor of acceleration. Consciousness behaves in exactly the same way. The day out of time initiated the movement. The galactic new year then established a new direction. And now with every passing day, with every sunrise that you awake, the energetic momentum is going to keep building. It's going to keep building towards the Lion’s Gate on the eighth, where that acceleration reaches its pinnacle peak of momentum. And what is actually accelerating, not time, what is happening is that many different parts of an energetic system will suddenly all begin working together as one very quickly cohesive machine, all around that time on the 8th during this period.
The soul, the higher mind, your emotional body, and your physical body, and the Earth's magnetic, well, all the grids, I'm going to come on to that in a moment, are all attempting to come into greater alignment all in one go, and it can make the days around these portals seem very, very surreal. Anything that is already in harmony with your authentic self will become easier. Your intuition will become louder and because of that synchronicities will become more frequent if your awareness is able to pick up on them. At the same time, anything that no longer belongs will begin losing its stability. So, old beliefs will become harder to hold on to. Emotional wounds might surface, not because they're becoming stronger, but because they're ready to leave. The buildup to the Lion's Gate is therefore, shall we say, is not a countdown to an extraordinary day, it is a gradual preparation of your entire being. Every day now between now and the 8th is another energetic opportunity for your consciousness to become more coherent, more aligned and more available to the greater expression of who you truly are at the soul level beyond the ego. By the time the Lion's Gate actually arrives, the question is not whether, is the energy building? because it will have done, the question will be whether you are willing to allow yourself to build with what has already arrived. And then on the day itself, on the 8th of August, the wave then reaches its crescendo, or at the clinical level when I talk about energy, the point of greatest coherence. This is the period during which the energetic relationship between Sirius, that energetic part of Canis Major, where the alignment of the great pyramids, the Earth and human consciousness will become exceptionally pronounced. Because for thousands of years, the ancient Egyptians watched this moment each time it arrived.
The helical rising of Sirius marked, back in the day, not only the flooding of the Nile, but the beginning of a new cycle of life. But much more interestingly, the temples and the pyramids or what people call the pyramids of Giza in modern reality were never simply monuments of just stone. They were built as harmonic structures, carefully positioned upon key energetic nodes of the Earth previously imprinted by that which we know as now as the Pleiadeans from the Toan star system, or the seven sisters, to resonate with the greatest celestial rhythms moving through the cosmos, also known as one of the great nodes of Earth because you get the nodes and the nulls of Earth forming part of a much larger planetary network of pyramids, many of which are actually still hidden, but structures that respond not only to the Earth, but what is happening beneath the Earth, but also to the heavens above it. All of which was put into readiness for when we chose to vibrate higher, or what people could just call 2012. And this energy will then greatly go on to affect what is happening right under your own feet on that day because it will push on the eighth the highest level of voltage through all three grids.
Now let me talk about all three grids. Firstly:
Number one, the magnetic grid, or as the Arcturians call it, the communication hardware affecting the DNA and the consciousness of Earth.
Number two, the crystalline grid, or the global hard drive of spiritual, or the spiritual memory bank of the earth.
Number three, the Gaia grid, or what I have understood it to be through channelling the Arcturians, as the biological backup system that is applied to all living things in nature.
And just for a short while around this day on the eighth, the Earth will be flooded with more of that sixth density Sirian consciousness that will be pushed through these grids with much higher efficiency. Sixth density energy is often experienced as unity without the loss of individuality because separation has largely dissolved by that point, yet in that energy some personality still remains as a result. There is no fear of survival, no competition, no judgment, no internal conflict because consciousness in sixth density energy has fully remembered its relationship with the whole. Now from the human perspective encountering a reflection of this energy on the eighth, if you can align with it, it will feel like profound inner stillness, and for some it will feel as though time will slow. The mind will become quiet. Intuition will become effortless as we hit that huge energy spike on the 8th of August which is days away now. And for many it will be an emotional high but for others the opposite, depending on where you are in the singularity. Regardless, the eighth will be a state, a day of extraordinary coherence where everything within begins working together rather than against itself, whether your mind agrees, or understands with the energy or not, because it's the same energy coming in for everybody. But how consciousness deals with that will be different for everybody.
Once the Lion's Gate reaches its peak on the 8th of August, many people will then assume that the event is then suddenly over, but this is actually when the real work energetically begins. The days immediately afterwards are not about receiving more energy. What's going to happen is they're going to then become about embodiment. Think of the Lion's Gate as the moment lightning strikes energetically. The days afterwards are the period where that electrical charge travels through every system of your being, and this is why many people in the days afterwards may experience a second wave of extreme tiredness from the 9th, then the 10th, then the 11th, and perhaps even the 12th after 72 hours of integration, because the body will no longer be preparing for the frequency. It's going to be very different by this point. It will be then attempting to become that frequency, and some will also notice the uptick in souls leaving Earth and souls coming in around this time, including pets. But I'll talk about that more in the members area or at another time because during these days afterwards the nervous system will become recalibrating. Sleep will become deeper, for many people dreams will become a lot more symbolic. Emotionally, the days after the Lion's Gate often feel more surprisingly honest, shall I say, because anything that stills, still carries emotional density has one final opportunity to, shall we say, come to the surface before the next energetic phase begins, which will begin on the 12th. If you saw my last video, if you didn't, go back and watch it.
So, we are riding one huge wave of energy, extraordinary wave. I've never known energy like this before. Then as we move towards the eclipse on the 12th of August, the energy then begins changing once again. If the Lion's Gate acted as an amplifier, the eclipse then acts as a stabilizer. The Lion's Gate, let me put it this way, the Lion's Gate illuminated everything and then the eclipse comes along on the 12th and then it organizes it into physical reality, because most people are not sensing what is happening non-physically because they don't work as clinical practitioners having to feel into it all the time. And so you will get more of that physical reality reorganizing itself as something you can see manifesting, that you can see, touch, taste, smell, experience in your immediate awareness. And it is during this period that many of the changes initiated by the Lion's Gate then start anchoring into that physical reality. And so many will notice that any existing or pre-existing emotional intensity will begin settling whilst the practical changes will begin appearing in physical physicality so that the observer can observe more physically the representation of what has been happening as confirmation, in an immediate observable reality.
And what will happen is, as a result of that, is new opportunities will emerge. Different people will enter your life. Other people will quietly leave your life. Ideas that seemed impossible, only maybe even a week earlier, will suddenly become achievable, because your perception will change if you are not in resistance. The coming eclipse will then begin looking at the new frequency in and putting it into the physical body. And by the time all of that is done and said and out of the way, as I said at the start of this video, you will have reached approximately 70%, about 76% the Arcturians tell me, of the required field of energy needed to maintain a living reality on an ascended planet, culminating in the year 2030, and so we still have some more to go if we have done 76% of the energy so far. So keep going and as ever, you got this. Much love.
