A BIG POST! It has taken more than a month for me to put this together, so I apologise it’s late, but I think the effort was worth it. This is designed as a big Resource for you, for our new Paradigm.
There are 14 videos to watch right here (plus many others as links), that I have carefully curated for you (better than trusting FaceBook posts!).
Our entire civilisation is at a cross-roads. And we just need to stay aware of what is happening underneath it all — Astrology is the master-key to human evolution. Many of the issues I had touched on here in April 2023 have already come to pass as the Aquarius frequency speeds up our evolution — Nov 2023.
Welcome to 20 Years of…
Has the world gone mad? Is human society on the brink of disaster? Are we about to lose our humanity? … Or are we giving it away…
Yet, this should be the ‘Time of the People’.
Well, there are always two alternative expressions for any frequency impacting the human brain. We always have choice, as we’ll get into below.
Astrological Paradigm shifts
are what move humanity forward.
They mature us and force us to evolve
as a species.
These particular global paradigms are cyclical, containing a series of 12 major changes within every 248 years, each paradigm having a different duration from the last, always presenting new global challenges to our survival and evolution.
This is an effect of Pluto in the Brain
Why Pluto? Pluto stimulates our physical security concerns — the things we tend to ‘hang on’ to unconsciously for survival, whether legitimate or not. This has a profoundly personal impact from the moment of our birth.
But the Sign (frequency) that Pluto’s impact is blended with, at any one time (via changes in the Earth’s field), becomes a unified resonance for all of us. It challenges our global human culture to expand beyond its own fear boundaries, to allow us to grow in a more spiritual direction. We don’t always accomplish this, but the seeds are sown for those who are moving forward. And it is up to each one of us to be a part of the Beneficial Change as we move up the spiral.
My book Pluto in Your Brain: Generations & Paradigms is still in the works. It’s a big project spanning all the paradigms from the start of the 20th century up to and including this new current one.
It’s not far away, but I’m working on finishing the two reincarnation research exposés first.
You can read a bit more about this book (and my others) on my KerrieRedgateAuthor.com book site.
But first, where we’ve been:
the Capricorn-Pluto Paradigm
This link is to Part 1 of my older blog articles
written 10 years into our Cap-Pluto era
For the past 16 years, since early 2008,
we’ve all been living within a particular
global paradigm that challenged us on:
- society’s Ethics
- inner & outer Authority
- the rise of Cults
- loss and protection of our Civil Liberties
- Responsibility especially in Business & Politics
- the escalation of the Solopreneur & Artisan class (bespoke movement)
- the ripening of personal and global Karma
- … and Death
We’ve seen the best and the worst of these issues in various theatres of our culture — and I don’t have to elaborate on those! (But you’ll find more on my Parts 1 and 2 of ‘Cult or Consciousness — 10 Years On’ on this blog site, via the red title link above.)
Each one of these aspects of human society have related to the astrological frequency of Capricorn.
Though, each paradigm has a polarity shift as well, to balance with the main frequency (the basic Yin–Yang expression). Capricorn’s polarity is the Cancerian frequency, which together highlighted Responsibility toward our Earth’s climate and complex interdependent ecosystem.
The Cancerian and Capricornian frequencies actually blend together to create wholeness and mastery for our human species. These are qualities that we each must master within ourselves in order to become whole. Very basically, this is inner Responsibility with Kindness for every living thing on our planet.
And now we must bring what we’ve learned, from that paradigm, into the new paradigm we’ve just entered…
from March 23 2023 at 12:26pm UT
Our new Aquarius-Pluto Paradigm
A new global era has officially begun,
presenting A NEW SET of global values & challenges
This new 20-year era will be a completely different experience
from where we’ve been these past 16 years, since 2008.
And prior to that paradigm, from 1995, we had the Sagittarius-Pluto paradigm: information/knowledge (Sag) explosion! The public global internet arrived, then mobile phones, global online commerce, and the first live-televised war, in Iraq. I remember, it was a very different world (sometimes easier!) before 1995.
But this new Aquarius-Pluto paradigm will be an even bigger shift than both of those combined. And any Resistance to this shift at levels of Authority will cause Revolution. And we have witnessed this already in Iran, and in France even more recently, while Pluto had been moving in, very close to its Ingress into Aquarius.
Here’s the thing:
Where Capricorn is traditional,
upholding the status quo and its boundaries,
Aquarius is radically innovative,
tearing down the old structures
even before the new ones have been built.
Aquarius speeds up all processes, especially those in the brain! We will be pushed to our intellectual limits during this paradigm — or collectively, we could become disastrously lazy with Artificial Intelligence thinking for us. The internet has already dumbed people down considerably by providing brief answers to complex questions and, along with algorithm bubbles, I think this is what has been dividing opinions so destructively.
Though, we are not yet quite finished with the previous Capricorn Paradigm, as Pluto will appear to be moving backwards (from Earth’s perspective) twice during this early phase. And this will dip Pluto’s influence into the Capricorn frequency in the Earth’s field for us again — just to make sure we got that one right!
Here are the date spans (in Universal Time)
when Pluto will be coming back through Capricorn again,
to resolve some old issues with
Responsibility, or Purpose, and our Karmic imprints
(whether meritorious or nefarious!).
- Cap: June 11 2023 9:30am UT — Jan 21 2024 12:58am UT
(almost 7 months!) — then Aquarius again until… - Cap: Sept 1 2024 11:58pm UT — Nov 19 2024 8:42pm UT
(a quick-dip last chance!) — then Aquarius until 2043
I would expect that during the 7 months from June, as above, we may find the world starts announcing legislation (a Capricorn thing) to curtail (another good Capricorn term) certain aspects of GPT A.I. and A.G.I. (Artificial General Intelligence) development, and legal guard rails are set in place. More on that under A.I., below. And there will be other legislation and also massive class actions coming up.
NOTE: The ⛶ icon, at the bottom right on each video, should expand the video to your full-screen size on a desktop or laptop.
Now for the 11 things that will greatly
Disrupt Our Lives, collectively,
during the next 20 years
1 A.I. Technology
A.I. Tech is going to get crazier and crazier. Yes, even more!
The world has indeed gone quite mad.
Everything is changing, speeding up.
Everything may feel uncertain, surreal, up-in-the-air.
Nothing is predictable now. And technology has taken some very scary turns.
But we can survive this if we’ve learned from our previous paradigm!
This is the biggest and most urgent change, so I have more to say on this, below, than any of the other disruptors here…
Our new survival paradigm shift will bring plenty of surprises, as Aquarius is a frequency that shocks us into an unfamiliar future, well beyond our comfort zones. And it does so with lightning speed. With Aquarius, the old is unflinchingly swept away for the new ideas, no matter how crazy they may seem!
The effects from Pluto’s resonance can influence our brain and psyche from about 3 months before its exact transit of a planet or its Ingress shift into a new Sign-frequency (via changes in the Earth’s field).
And in November 2022, we were confronted with the initial release of ChatGPT, followed by its public ‘stable release’ on March 14 this year. During the first few weeks of its public release, it had attracted more than 100 million users! Google’s former CEO, Eric Schmidt, has stated (see video below) that it took Gmail 5 years to achieve that number!
And after just 10 days of this ‘stable’ release, cracks started appearing in the armour, with A.I. ‘hallucinating‘ when it didn’t have the right answers! This is not surprising, as the structure of this type of A.I. is set up to self-learn.
There are a handful of large companies
developing A.I. right now:
- Google (available via their Bard Chat service, a ChatGPT rival; they have also developed LaMDA A.I., the controversial “is it sentient?” model)
- Microsoft (via Open A.I. Incorporated, and available via Bing in MS’s Edge browser, and ChatGPT via chat.openai.com)
- AliBaba AI and Data Intelligence (via the AliBaba Cloud)
- Tesla (Elon Musk, who is incorporating A.I. into his humanoid Tesla robots, despite his own misgivings about A.I.!).
As ChatGPT-3.5 (Open AI’s interactive language of A.I.) has been released to the public, some users have asked ChatGPT to create a ‘story’ for them (and, indeed, some ‘authors’ are using A.I. to write their entire books!), while other users have asked A.I. for details of historical stories, etc.
ChatGPT does not ‘live’ in our reality. It cannot distinguish between art and reality. A story is a story — it doesn’t care if it isn’t ‘real’. A photo of a face and a Picasso painting of a face are the same to A.I., as they are both labelled ‘face’. They are therefore both ‘real’. So there have been many errors within these interactions with live people in Chats. And GPT-4 has been the scariest release so far.
This hallucination problem had led to MIT physicist and A.I. researcher, Max Tegmark (see 2nd video below), writing an open letter calling for a halt to ChatGPT development beyond GPT-4 for six months. Here is the letter — look at the date! :
https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/
This letter has since also been signed by 27,000+ people, including Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak (computer-wiz and Co-Founder of Apple), Tom Gruber (led the Apple team that designed Siri), Evan Sharp (Co-Founder of Pinterest), Jaan Tallinn (Co-Founder of Skype, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, Future of Life Institute), Andrew Yang (2020 US Presidential candidate), with a 1,500-strong group of professors, AI researchers, and tech professionals. Ethical development is the foremost concern. But the call, it seems, has gone largely unanswered.
Except for Italy!
On March 31 2023, Open AI shut down ChatGPT in Italy at the demand of the Italian Government, making Italy the first democratic nation in the world to temporarily ban ChatGPT throughout its country. This occurred after a data breech, with Open AI’s software violating EU privacy laws by collecting huge swathes of personal data from users of all ages while it ‘learned’.
Also there are universities and public schools in other countries that have banned ChatGPT in their local networks, including Western Australia which has banned ChatGPT from all public schools in the State. The UK Government is now looking at regulating AI. While, also, the EU, recognised as a leader in corporate regulation, has decided to also come down even harder on A.I. — It’s almost as if there is, at last, a Battle of Ethics going on between the EU and the USA.
As an experiment, I tried to access ChatGPT, myself, but I quickly deleted the page after it seemed to insist on my permission to access too much about me and my internet/computer connection. We will have no control over how A.I. uses and delivers information about ourselves as we are a major part of its own education!…
So I checked the T&C…!! Here’s a link to an American lawyer’s video on what he found about indemnity in the Terms & Conditions:
You Need to Read the Terms of Service for OpenAI and ChatGPT
… So, just be careful!
So, it would seem, the platform is still live and accessible to a majority of humans who will comply. Though, ChatGPT Plus (using GPT-4) is now offering a subscription model of US$20/month for access.
It would appear that the lessons of Ethics and Responsibility from our previous Capricorn-Pluto Paradigm have already been forgotten.
Why are we developing Artificial Intelligence
instead of our own?
This new paradigm offers the perfect opportunity for us
to train our own minds toward Enlightenment.
This is such an important topic, that I’ve loaded in two vital videos for you, below, on our current state of A.I.. It’s important for you to get a handle on just what is happening right now.
This is huge. Many jobs and professions could disappear overnight. I hope you heeded my advice in previous years, to set yourself up as an authority in your field, to find and live your exceptional purpose — to be indispensable to society. That last paradigm was a preparation for this one.
I’ve also been considering, for a long time, that during this new paradigm the internet may break (just as our global financial structure broke during the previous Capricorn paradigm), as it has become a technology that we are completely dependent upon for our survival (Pluto=attachment!). And now I’m wondering if it may eventually have to be deliberately shut down for a time due to A.I. being connected to the net, with it finally being able to manipulate everything via and on the net, including all essential services, and the computers within self-driving cars! That will take global cooperation.
This can happen anytime during the next 20 years. But in the meantime, I don’t want to be an alarmist, but to be practical, I would advise you to always keep paper records of everything that is important to you, especially bank records!

My YouTube Comment on this video from a month ago:
“Excellent discussion. Thank you! Scary times ahead. I’m not a fan of AI. I believe in human endeavour, the time it takes to evolve ideas, to master talents. AI may have the capacity to rob us of the very essence of our humanity. The quick path is never the path of our satisfaction in life.”

co-founder of the Future of Life Institute,
and author of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

This is a long-form video (2:48:13), as all of Lex Fridman’s great interviews tend to be. Though, Lex often loads up much shorter excerpts from these to his YouTube channel.
You’ll find a comprehensive breakdown of the subject chapters for this video in the YouTube notes. They get into some interesting areas regarding consciousness and reality.
PS: Lex’s other two interviews with Max Tegmark (Round 1 and Round 2), from several years ago, are also worth watching on the issues of consciousness and A.I..

AI vs. AI. Two Chatbots Talking to Each Other
Some quick light relief after all that — this is hilarious!
This is also 11 years old.
Imagine how far AI has advanced now!
(By the way, ‘OT‘ is ‘Operational Technology’: can be a robot;
A ‘unicorn‘ is a startup business worth over $1 billion,
so she seems to have called him OT, instead, but he didn’t get it!)
2 Robotics
Humanoid robots are advancing at a crazy-wild pace.
Is this just a case of ‘womb-envy’? Women are capable of producing perfectly functional human beings in just 9 months. No lithium battery required.
While there is merit in producing robotic gadgets that can enter and examine or fix hazardous disaster zones, I cannot fathom why they need to take on humanoid form!
I’ve been fascinated by robots since my early childhood when I devoured all the science-fiction movies on late-night TV with my Dad. Robbie from Forbidden Planet and Lost in Space was my favourite back then.
But, today, most of them are just too scary (Boston Dynamics); and the (USA) Military seems to be enthusiastic about robots replacing soldiers in the field, despite calls from saner groups to ban their aggressive military use.
If you want to see an excellent ‘science fiction’ drama TV series about the possibilities and issues of sentient A.I. humanoid robots living with us in our near future, I recommend the award-winning 2015 UK series Humans (which was based on the darker Swedish series Real Humans, which I just couldn’t watch!). It starred Gemma Chan as a totally convincing humanoid. Brilliant script and production. But be warned, it does contain violence, course language, and a couple of sex scenes/references. It’s currently screening on Australian ABC iView on-demand (handy if you have a VPN overseas).
… So, just because we can, does that mean we should?

Ameca’s reactions here were not pre-programmed!
I have to say, though, that despite being a humanoid, Ameca is my favourite robot.
She has personality and is rather elegant, especially when using her British voice.

“It’s time for Atlas to pick up a new set of skills and get hands on.

NOTES on ETs: Dec 16 2023
For a small fee you can download the CE-5 Contact app (Apple App Store, Google Play) to learn how to become an Ambassador to our ET friends.
Dr Steven Greer has worked out a protocol (with the ETs) for contact where we can invite their crafts to appear and respond to us. See the Close Encounters of the 5th Kind film, as above, for footage of these contact events and interviews with the human participants (ordinary people like us).
Some images of a few Visitors of various species have been captured as still photographs, so you can see what they look like in that film. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have been doing these CE-5 Contact Events for years, and no one has ever been harmed.
The bad press given to ETs — abductions, cattle mutilations, “Evil Greys” and “Reptilians”, and the like — has always been orchestrated, actually practically, by the Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower had warned about in his final speech before he left Office.
The ETs who are visiting us are far more spiritually advanced than we are, which is why they have not retaliated after hundreds of their crafts have been brought down by the scalar technology of the MIC. We are the bad guys!
In fact, there have been circumstances where ETs have actually saved us (from ourselves!). The Universe is full of bodhisattvas, not just here on Earth.
4 Our Galileo Moment
Electric Universe Proponents vs NASA
No black holes, no dark matter, no dark energy. This has been brewing for years. But I believe it will be during this Aquarius-Pluto paradigm, that our understanding of the cosmos, and astrophysics will be completely transformed by the knowledge that is already out there.
The old idea of gravity being the principle force shaping the universe will be superceded by a new understanding of electricity and the electromagnetic force (which can greatly advance our understanding of astrology — more in my forthcoming book series).
Thunderbolts Project | 1:03:51
Thunderbolts of the Gods
| Official Movie
“ Here, we present the full version of the popular documentary film ‘Thunderbolts of the Gods’, which helped to introduce the world to the Electric Universe in 2006. “
— from the video’s YouTube Notes
And, of course, this new paradigm could be the era when Astrology finds its old footing again as a valuable resource, being now the new science of consciousness. I’m hoping my book series will contribute to this result, especially through our new understanding of the electric models of the universe and all life.
5 Energy Medicine
Flower Essence Therapy, Acupuncture, Kinesiology, Colour and Sound Therapies…
These are the way of the future. Flower Essence Therapy is only one of the new & ancient therapies that have been waiting in the wings for public acceptance.
No active chemical substances, only the vibratory frequencies of plant consciousness in resonance with mind-brain, and hence body. Safer than chemistry which necessarily presents a difficult balance of yin and yang.
This may be the time for our ultimate healing!
I can attest to the wonders of especially flower essence therapy in curing disease states of mind and body, as well as spiritual issues. I have been using flower essences for my own healing, in conjunction at times with acupuncture, since the mid-1980s, and have been offering essences in my work since the late 1980s.
Flower essences are an entirely harmless modality for healing. No chemistry involved at all. Most people have no idea of the consciousness within plants. And flowers, as the spiritual emanation of the plant, are their gift to the world. Some information about them on my BodhimindEssences.com website, and you’ll find more on the net.

but they also block the flow of voltage in the associated muscle battery packs
that provide the voltage necessary for organs to function and repair themselves.
“[Dr Tennant] will discuss the human body’s battery packs, wiring system,
and the physics of how our electronic systems are affected by these emotions.
In addition, he will discuss how other magnetic fields and scalar energy can be used
to erase these emotions, leaving behind only memories
that do not disrupt our health and physiology…”

7 Politics & Economics
Under the new Aquarian pressure we’ll be seeking fairer distribution of wealth and resources, and with more freedoms.
The old hierarchical structures of politics may possibly give way to Committees of governance, rather then the 2-Party system which has emphasised ‘Government’ and ‘Opposition’ with a central President/Prime Minister.
And capitalist democracy will undergo a remodelling, leaning more into an Aquarian socialist model of true democracy.
Unless we’re all put on a ‘Basic Wage’ with A.I. running the world!

8 Absurdity
A Terrorist State Presided Over the UN Security Council
The Aquarius frequency can also stimulate our awareness of absurdity in its rush to break the old order and create new rules. This can appear as madness, but sometimes will be madness!
- Russia is a permanent member of the elite United Nations Security Council, which is absurd, as it was the USSR, comprising 15 Republics (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia [now Belarus], Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirgiziya [now Kyrgyzstan], Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia [now Moldova], Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan), that was the original member, not Russia as it is today! These other Republics have not been included in Russia’s representation on the UNSC since the collapse of the USSR in Dec 1991!
- And with the many violations of the UN Charter that Russia has perpetrated in Ukraine, with its unprovoked war and violation of a sovereign country’s territory, and abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children, it has no legitimate place on the UN Security Council!
- And if that wasn’t enough! This past April, last month, it was Russia’s turn to actually preside over the UN Security Council (UNSC), itself — the very Council that was set up to prevent authoritarian rulers from invading other countries! Ukraine is incredulous, of course. Russia: an official ‘Terrorist State’!
- And if that doesn’t make you swoon at the absurdity of it all, Putin, himself, the President of Russia, has been indicted for War Crimes recently by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague! He can be arrested anytime if caught in an ICC compliant country, and taken to the Hague for trial — could have happened even while his country presided over the UNSC! … Some old systems definitely need a rethink!
9 War
Ukraine (with NATO) vs Russia; China vs Taiwan; ; Sudan; North Korea vs anyone at all… And USA vs …
Europe is being manipulated by a tyrant-psychopath. Ukrainian software engineers, bakers, architects, graphic artists, shop owners, farmers, are fighting for their lives, and dying, as their country has been thrown into a bloody, horrendous replay of World War One… because of just one man.
Image: Remains of an apartment building in Kiev, Ukraine
This Ukrainian war of attrition started under the astrological global Chiron–Hades square in February 2022. And while karma had been speeding up during the few months before the start of our new Paradigm, I cannot comprehend why Putin is still standing, as the Capricorn Paradigm had resolved (or at least awakened us to) a lot of global karma.
But we will still have those extra 2 revisits of our previous Capricorn-Pluto Paradigm this year and next year, during those dates, above. I think Putin should be going down during one of them, if not sooner.
A case in point: Putin recently held a meeting for new Diplomats — in one of the elaborate, sparkling halls in the Kremlin — and delivered a 20-minute speech with his usual pomp about the grandeur of Russia, etc… But at the end of the speech, the hall was silent. The usual applause was absent. This prompted Putin to actually announce that this was the end of his speech. Still silence. He then declared he was too busy to stay and shake hands with them all (as he usually had done in the past), and left with an “All the best” in English. It seems Russia is wearing thin…
The escalating gun violence in the USA is a horrifying tragedy, and yet it seems obvious that the Civil War never actually ended there. It remains a country divided.
Freedom without Responsibility
always creates Anarchy.

Violence ultimately never resolves anything — this is plainly obvious in this 21st century, as we can see now that old enemies, even from both World Wars, later became friends and trading partners. Yet violence seems to be a path we humans travel to secure our own safety, as we see it. This crazy attitude must end now, but I hope it doesn’t take us the entire 20 years to get that right.
We may also yet be on the brink of another ‘Great War’ involving most of the nations of the world. But this is not inevitable, if sane voices of wisdom can prevail.
I’m encouraged that many of the current Foreign Ministers from varying countries around the world are people of high intelligence, deep wisdom, and peace. Sanity may yet prevail!
The potential for war can be a reflection of our collective state of mind (and the Sign that Pluto filters through is a trigger for that ‘mind’ — this is very pertinent now, with the Aquarius-Pluto combination), so we each must play a part in maintaining humility and peaceful relations with all others in our space.
Treating each other — and indeed all living beings — with respect is the vital key to peace, and actually ‘programs’ the neural net of your brain for peaceful responses.
And this leads us to the main spiritual focus of the Aquarian frequency…
10 Equanimity
How do we get to equanimity?
The perfection of the Aquarian frequency for us is not really the development of new technology, but the mastering of Equanimity.
And the path to Equanimity is always via our
hatred and aversions.
These are what we must recognise and tame within ourselves, by letting go of our inherent fears.
Your spiritual nature, your spiritual consciousness,
is always available to you. It’s the real you in any moment.
And it’s a choice.
Aquarius is also
the frequency of
Enlightenment
which is always just
one one breath away,
if we choose.
Aversions (including outrage) that spark anger are rooted in fears generated by pastlife experiences which are not actually happening now. They are simply expectations based on the familiar scenarios we see around us in present time.
This new paradigm offers an opportunity to master how we deal with these issues, both collectively and personally. We can’t sweep the world under our rugs, as we must all be a part of the solution. This is a global paradigm, so we’re in this together.
For more clarity on the benefits, and the practices for developing equanimity, listen to the Mind & Life Podcast episode, ‘Exploring Equanimity’ with David Creswell on his clinical research into equanimity and the mind/brain:

The Aquarian frequency, when impacting the survival aspects of the brain and mind, can induce moments of Enlightenment when we are aware of our own reactions and make an effort to initiate new ‘habitual responses’.
This frequency can be the Zen experience of sudden Awakening as to the Truth of Reality. And this awakening leads to our usefulness in the world…
11 Humanitarian Effort
We can be certain that the world situation, even as it stands right now, will stimulate a greater need for humanitarian support to many nations.
Ukraine, for a start, will need to be rebuilt from the ground up, as will the earthquake zones in Türkiye and Syria, and the severe tornado zones in the USA.
Through sudden earth changes, or war, we could see even more displaced peoples needing deep help during the following 20 years of this new era.
And as we have not yet resolved our neglect of our planet’s ecosystem, that issue will bleed into this new paradigm, demanding even more extensive humanitarian services.
The Dr Jerry Tennant video is amazing and a must watch for anybody interested to understand how the body works and what is needed to heal it. It shows all the linkages across the body, the cells and organs. Brilliant
Thank you for your comment, Jules! Yes, I agree. Dr Tennant’s work is so important and revolutionary. I’ve watched this several times, myself, and other videos of his on the net. My own research has shown me that everything is voltage. But here we get a great exposé of the interconnected facets, and how it all works together. He’s a genius.
Great curator work. Thank you so much.
So many Insights.
A very Aquarian on the benefit of others. Another very important Aquarian Uranus concept.
I think the Leo archetype gives us some interesting hints too. We are going to need a lot of creativity and fiery and noble courage to go through this times.
Yes, indeed, Inka! Exactly that. This will be a time of great creative innovation — if we can keep the ethical insights, born of the previous Capricorn paradigm, alive! Thank you so much for your insights!
