The Ascension Plateau: Energy Update October 2026

In this Ascension Update, we explore what may be happening beneath the surface of the current collective consciousness shift in 2026, why the momentum around spiritual awakening appears to have changed in recent years, and how artificial intelligence, social media and new forms of information manipulation may be influencing the collective energetic field.

We explore the concept of the false or fake 5D timeline: the idea that humanity's ascension is already guaranteed and therefore there is nothing left for us to actively do. Could this narrative be contributing to spiritual complacency and taking the momentum out of our individual and collective evolution?

We also examine the ascension plateau: what happens when someone has awakened, done significant inner work and developed spiritual awareness, but begins to feel that they have reached a ceiling in their spiritual growth.

In this episode, we discuss:
• The changing momentum of the human ascension journey
• The connection between AI, social media and collective consciousness
• The concept of the false 5D timeline
• Why spiritual awakening is just the start of the journey
• The ascension plateau and how it can affect your spiritual development
• Why energy should be treated as a practical skill rather than simply a spiritual hobby
