Arrival of Oneness and Original Love

with revolutionary wisdom

"The key to undivided presence is listening.
If we listen deeply, we can hear the sound
inside of creation. This is the sound of love."
— Glenn Aparicio Parry

What if life could be lived like a waking dream? What if each momentary inspiration could be heard, as ideas beyond words being softly whispered to our hearts and souls? How might we live more meaningful lives by learning to listen more deeply, as if tuning in to the sound inside of creation itself? These ideas have been blossoming within me ever since I received an advance copy of Glenn Aparicio Parry's wonderful forthcoming book, Original Love, anticipated to be published in January 2026.

I've been thinking this past month about Arrival, an Amy Adams movie that came out almost a decade ago—thinking to myself that I'd like to see it again. I didn't give much further thought to the matter, so I was surprised and delighted to see it was on television at a moment when I had time to watch. This was meaningful to me, since it provided me with an example of how so often whenever I have a thought, it appears in my life—like I’m living a waking dream.

The Special Role of Language

In the movie, Arrival, actor Amy Adams plays the role of a linguistics professor, Louise Banks, who leads a team of investigators with a goal of communicating with beings who land on Earth in spaceships at 12 different locations on our planet. Military operations are in charge at most all of these landing sites, and when some messages are received with an idea of imminent threat, some nations prepare to take military "defensive" action against the perceived threat of the heptapod (seven-limbed) alien beings.

Amidst this pressure-cooker tension, linguists take the lead in establishing communication via language, signs, and symbols. Professor Louise Banks says at one point in the movie, "Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict."

Yet in the movie Arrival, establishing a common ground of language involves more than simply learning sounds and symbols—it also involves awareness of the foundational mindset beneath the language. We thus begin to see that languages might relate to ideas the way maps relate terrains and territories. Language has much in common with maps that we utilize to depict landscapes—it can provide us with an awareness of some aspects of "the lay of the land," but it is limited by what type of map it is, and what it focuses attention on. Topographic contour maps, for example, are useful when backpacking through mountainous areas, when it helps to plan to have sufficient water and supplies before climbing to higher elevations. Road maps are helpful when driving cross-country, and selecting scenic destinations and spontaneous detours. Geological maps illustrate types of soil in each area. Aeronautical chart flight maps show the intended and actual flight paths, with waypoints providing navigational reference during the flight.

Regardless which kind of mapping or labeling we utilize, one thing is for certain—these descriptions cannot fully describe the true essence of who we are, or what reality truly is. To put it another way, we do well to not confuse the map for the territory.

We can easily take for granted our native language and its tendency to focus awareness in certain areas, just as we might take for granted whatever map system we typically utilize—but we can learn a great deal about ourselves and the world by being open to discover new ways to communicate, and new ways to listen more deeply. One of the biggest changes in the past decade since Arrival was released is the utilization of Artificial Intelligence to solve challenging puzzles, and interpret indecipherable codes. While it may be tempting to contemplate how easy it might be to hand over language interpretation tasks to Artificial Intelligence, some aspects of communications can probably most fully be received by us directly. Concerns are already being expressed that some of us who are utilizing AI may be relinquishing and atrophying essential brain functions. A recent MIT study highlights some stunning differences between those extensively utilizing AI and those who don’t, sounding a warning for those wondering what might be at stake. And it’s telling that I didn’t miss Artificial Intelligence in the movie, Arrival. It’s hard for me to envision how Professor Louise Banks could have succeeded so brilliantly with deep listening and true relationships with anything or anyone else—including Artificial Intelligence—between her and those she communicates with.


Nonlinear Spacetime

Both the movie, Arrival, and Glenn Aparicio Parry's forthcoming book, Original Love, prominently feature the significance of nonlinear time. In Arrival, the heptapod alien beings communicate via circular logograms. As Professor Louise Banks makes time to tune in more deeply to this alien language, she gets much more than she bargained for. Thanks to listening and tuning in more deeply, this linguist observes that some of her seemingly personal thoughts, memories, and dreams have a direct correspondence with her communications with the heptapod beings. There is a growing sense of interconnectedness through space and time, and between Louise’s life and what the heptapods are communicating, woven through personal events and conveyed through and beyond words. By making this leap of understanding, Professor Louise Banks navigates some degree of understandable confusion, as emotionally charged memories are highlighted, and a sense of expanding out of linear and into nonlinear time naturally unfolds.

Glenn Aparicio Parry points out that,

"… linear perspective, became known as realism—and this is what changed the world. People began to believe that linear perspective was the only valid worldview. The previous (magical) way of seeing—through immersing oneself in an animate, living environment—became thought of as primitive."

"Whether we realize it or not, our souls are calling out for a reinstatement of some of the abilities we once took for granted, and then discarded."

What might nonlinear space-time living look like?
What abilities did we once take for granted, and then discard?

Thanks to my participation in Language of Spirit conference events organized in part by Glenn Aparicio Perry, it has been my experience that deep listening provides us with a powerful, under-appreciated tool. This kind of deep listening requires relaxation of the analytical, rational mind to the point that intuitive non-verbal insights arrive more completely intact. This kind of deep listening is also what is portrayed as the pivotal success factor in the movie, Arrival. I'm not going to give the plot entirely away, because it's worth watching the movie. But Dr. Louise Banks is able to communicate effectively, because she's listening deeply and noticing that some of the non-standard, nonlinear ways of communication that are typical for the heptapods is something that humanity perhaps is ready to start learning. Maybe this is the direction we're going into nonlinear thinking. And I know that it actually probably is.

So how does this deep listening actually operate on a practical level? I have previously written about listening to a variety of non-human beings, including a coyote, a squirrel, and many others. There is much we learn and gain, by listening with soft eyes and open hearts, and observing what is happening when it might seem that nothing is happening at all.


Some Recent Nonlinear Telepathic Conversations

I experienced some extraordinary nonlinear telepathic communications from unseen (but felt) beings in February 2025, just seven months ago. I received some interesting messages in the form of being shown some of my own memories including some things that I knew, as well as some things that I didn't know. And these were brought to my attention dramatically, and with some powerful associated emotions.

In the category of "Things Cynthia Didn't Know," they played part of a song for me. It's the old Herb Alpert song, This Guy's in Love with You, with the lyrics, "You see this guy? This guy's in love with you." I first heard that segment of the song in my mind’s ear, with Herb Alpert singing. And this surprised me, since I was familiar with Burt Bacharach singing that song, and I didn’t know there was a version with Herb Alpert singing it. And then they paused, and repeated this segment of the song in my mind’s ear again, but this time it's different. This time, I'm hearing a version of the song I'd never heard before February 2025 that went:

"You see this sky?
This sky's in love with you."

While I was still processing that, and pretty much emotionally bowled over by feeling waves of unconditional love, several things were coming to mind. I was surprised to be hearing Herb Alpert's voice singing the song, when I didn't know that Herb Alpert sang that song—and this new version of the song with brand new lyrics also surprised me.

But to top this all off and make the entire experience unforgettable, I then saw in my mind’s eye a memory from a time some 25 years ago, when I'd visited Albuquerque, New Mexico, attending a Science of Consciousness conference. I was there with M.J., looking at petroglyphs that showed one alien handprint carved in the rock side-by-side with a human handprint. While the right hand carving fits our human hands perfectly, with clearly delineated thumb and four fingers, all somewhat cylindrically shaped—the left hand carving features alien-looking triangular/pyramidal fingers and thumbs, rather than round. This memory from the year 2000 just popped into my mind without my doing anything to prompt its arrival—indicating a connection between seeing the obvious kindred spirit in alien-by-human handprints, and hearing a new-to-me version of a song, with lyrics, “This sky’s in love with you.”

Taken together, this is a love letter to humanity, writ large, in song and in stone.

Nonlinear thinking is possible for all of us. We know telepathy is real; we're seeing clear evidence of it in the Telepathy Tapes. Thanks to the work of people like Dr. Dean Radin, who is scientifically studying and writing about consciousness and magic, we can recognize a growing scientific body of evidence to suggest that mind-matter interactions are quite real.

So how can we communicate in nonlinear fashion? We can practice communicating telepathically, as I experienced this year, and as demonstrated in the movie, Arrival, with Amy Adams, the actress playing the role of a linguist.

We can imagine how might this roll out in the contemplation of Original Love, which is a revolution in the truest sense of the word, “revolution.” A revolution around the sun, for example, is a cycle—it looks like a full circle. We think of a revolution as bringing new ideas. But when we bring in an Original idea, from the fullness of Original Love, it might seem like we’re going in a circle. And as we come back to make a full circle revolution, we can ask my favorite question, “How good can it get?”

Our Revolutionary Return to Original Love

How can we as humans start expanding this interaction of connectivity that we feel with ourselves, with other humans, with the plants, with the animals, with the crystals, with the weather, with the Earth?

Because these are the questions that can take us on a journey of evolutionary progress as we come full circle back to recognizing that some indigenous wisdom was correct all along. Some of indigenous teachings are not out of date, but closely correspond to some of our most current, cutting-edge central concepts in quantum physics. <br>
<br>

Indigenous wisdom always included Telepathy, which is a natural part of deep listening. Some children's games that were played by First Nations people in the United States were a bit like the Rock-Paper-Scissors game—but played with animal forms, concealed behind their backs. This game is wonderful fun, and it teaches practical real-life telepathy.

I hope you'll join me in thinking nonlinear thoughts like this, communicating outside of any perceived limitations in the material world, through all space and time.

And love itself—Original Love—is the love that we all came forth from. It is the love that brought everything together and that we're now returning to as we complete a full cycle of evolutionary growth.

Let's find out how good it can get as we dream this dream together, wise humans, all of us.

Arrival of Oneness and Original Love

This was doubly significant for me, since it provided me with an example of the way so often whenever I have a thought, it seems highly likely to manifest as I was imagining. This is especially true for lots of "little things" in daily life that have little to no impact on anyone else, yet that are significant and meaningful for me.

8 August 2025
51 minutesI talk with Guy Lawrence about kundalini awakening, levels of consciousness, and reality shifts in this fascinating interview, just released! Some of the topics we discuss include: my background and Interests, my kundalini awakening experience, Nine Levels of Consciousness, exploring Reality Shifts, the Power of Habit and Potential, Exploring the Hopi Prophecy Rock, Revhumanism and Transhumanism, the Mandela Effect and Reality Shifts, practical Optimism and Meditation.

Slipping Between Realities:
The Mandela Effect and
Multidimensional Awareness
8 August 2025
1 hourIn this interview, Cynthia and Ani discuss the unusual timeline shifts, name shifts, and “reality shifts” that occur with the Mandela Effect. Some current quantum theories support the idea that we live and are involved in a multidimensional reality, and Cynthia discusses how the Mandela Effect is a quantum phenomena that can be supported by scientific theory and evidence. Cynthia and Ani discuss AI and the shift that is occurring right now from the 4th world into the 5th world, based upon indigenous oral history and prophecy. Cynthia emphasizes that it is important to be an “active observer” and that we do have the power to change our reality. We do not need to comply with a reality that does not align with our dreams. The wonderful question: “How good can it get for me and all concerned” can change your direction and the reality in which you live in a positive way.

Repaired Gas Cap
Kathleen
Connecticut, USA

Once after listening to an interview you gave, I set off with an intention to have a clear experience on our malleable reality. I went to the gas station and when I went to take off the gas cap to fill my car, the cap—which had been fully untethered from it's cord for many months - was suddenly reattached. I remember thinking, Of I wonder if Jim has reattached it? Upon closer inspection, the cord was perfect, no signs of being fixed. How strange. I continued to put gas in, but nothing came out. The attendant came over and said I should use another pump, since that one had just been cleaned. I drove to another one, got out, and prepared again to fill the car with gas. Now—less than a minute later—the cap was once again broken from its cord. I realized then this was my clear experience of malleable reality. It was extraordinary. (I think having been in your frequency field for an hour that morning via the video—something in my field was activated.) Just wanted to share that. Your work has meant so much to me and really has helped loosen old patterns and open up to what's possible. I love your video and your bright light. Thank you for staying here and doing what you do.

Note from Cynthia: I'm so happy to hear that you saw such amazing evidence of our magical malleable reality—wow! I love how you witnessed that the gas cap was so clearly—and so surprisingly—connected. And I love how you so closely examined the gas cap, and were able to see that it was perfect, with no signs of even having been repaired! Even though the cap quickly returned to its previous untethered state, it now seems possible that you might again see it fully repaired again at some point.

(4) Mail Bag, Questions, and Answers


Dear Cynthia,
I want "sustainable, regenerative, and beautiful." All I have to offer to get there: I try to watch movies like "The Last Mimzy" to get my thinking out of the chaos. I reread "Incredibly Believable! Everything You Wanted to Know about The Shift but did not know whom to ask" by Sunny Satin. Use a gold grid a friend of mine placed over the Earth with numbers for each square. They correspond to days in the year. That way, you pick the number for each day and say something like 'Peace in Oneness'. You don't know which number corresponds with an area, so any negative thinking can't interfere. Our entertainment is negative; our news is negative. It's hard for people to get out of negative thinking.
— Katy

Dear Katy,
Thanks so much for your beautiful email message. I love "The Last Mimzy"! That's a terrific movie choice for cleansing the heart, mind, and soul. I'm grateful to see ever-increasing evidence that we can improve "outer" reality via stabilizing and harmoniously aligning and balancing ourselves--I've simply witnessed too many miracles to ignore.
With love and thanks,
— Cynthia

___________

Dear Cynthia,
I know for definite that meta and google can hear us. But for a couple of days there have been instances that allude that they can read thoughts. Maybe 2 or 3 instances, too few for any legitimate query. But hey, this is private message so why not. A few minutes back I was thinking about Fiona Broome and moments later after opening Chrome news letter there was an article by Fiona Bulia. Though yesterday I had visited a year old Reddit post where I was a participant in discussions on Fiona Broome. Not that it matters, but these things require a huge processing power. Are we entering the Orwellian world. Or say something as fantastic as NWO by Illuminati?
— Vivek

Dear Vivek,
This is a good question, and I don't know whether we're entering into an Orwellian world, where anything we think--even if we intend to keep our thoughts private--seems to be picked up and responded to by our technology. This ever-increasing synchrony between our thoughts and the systems we're utilizing might indeed be due to the rapid increase in efficacy of Artificial Intelligence to discern hitherto undetectable patterns. Or perhaps as our technology becomes more sensitive, there might be a bit of a new spontaneous renaissance of human-technology interaction that some people (ie: Transhumanists) welcome. I'm in favor of finding out how good it can get for all of us, and I therefore expect and hope that humans--and non-humans--will enjoy free will in ways that are non-invasive and non-destructive.
lots of love,
— Cynthia

Hello Cynthia,
How can I shift time/reality? It feels like I'm living in hell, but wasn't able to shift with the methods explained in depth on youtube.
Much gratitude,
— Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,
Optimal reality shifting is a complex matter--with much more in common with becoming adept at something like martial arts (involving internal Qi, strength, mental focus, etc) rather than following steps to cooking food according to a recipe. People often expect a by-the-numbers recipe approach, but individual factors can be absolute show-stoppers for some people, such that what works for one person "doing the same thing" doesn't work for someone else. Essentially, it matters how your internal thoughts, feelings, and energies are--your mindset matters tremendously. Some people literally feel they are cursed, so before they can even start improving internal mindset, energy clearing is necessary. I've got a video on YouTube about how you can Set Energetic Protection, and those four steps shown are absolutely essential to make sure you're not getting knocked down by negative energies. The next step is adopt a regular daily practice of gratitude journaling--and you can also include positive dreams and reality shift successes, so every time you flip this book open, it boosts your energy and mood. Once you've done those, you might find following the standard reality shifting practices according to videos and books will work a lot better.
lots of love,
— Cynthia
