Hidden Control and Open Lands — Part Five of "A Metaphysical Look at Where we Find Ourselves in 2026"

This is the fifth installment of a six-part series that explores the energies manifesting reality and world events today, including karmic cycles, the turning of an age, a look at future global events remote viewed on the emerging timeline, and your own soul’s journey within this framework. Read this series as a metaphysical lens through which the present moment—and the future—might be seen and understood, and as a tool for understanding the universal principles that can generate global shifts and current dynamics:

Asia & Eurasia — The Reordering of the Pacific and a Cultural Renaissance

China moves fluidly between sides, all the while protecting its Pacific leanings. It has actively worked for decades to push its influence, and beginning with world turmoil will further that through promises of protection for all nations within its continent and sphere that pledge adherence and loyalty to it.

Former American US states will be too weak, spent, and disjointed to intervene in any measurable way at all in the Pacific. Entities comprised of the former US, such as the Pacific Union, will actively seek alliances with China/Asia. Australia and New Zealand, as a a continent and sphere in and of themselves, will refrain from succumbing to China’s influence, but will also be careful not to antagonize the Chinese. This will essentially allow China free reign to dominate and control the region, from India to the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia and the Philippines to a newly incorporated Taiwan.

As a result, the Pacific and all of Asia becomes the domain of a single dominant gravity. China’s ambition is not conquest for glory, but control of its natural sphere and profit from resources. The Pacific, East Asia, and Southeast Asia all fall easily under its dominance, including Taiwan, the Philippines, and island chains stretching southward. India, as well as, to an extent, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, are drawn into its orbit as well, as satellites, much to the chagrin of Russia. Russia does not intervene, looking instead to secure its regions, as well as Eurasia, from Turkey to Poland.

Ukraine serves as early test ground for Russia’s dominance in Eurasia, just as regional conflicts in Latin and South America are the United States' early opening volleys into hemispheric union strategy. Taiwan will imminently provide the opening of China’s foray into power dominance through hemispheric control of Asia and the Pacific.

Of the powers in play, China’s hand is often the most unseen, preferring to operate through covert financial assistance, leverage, and quiet economic indenture rather than overt aggression. What China cannot dominate, it will buy. What it cannot buy, it will dominate through leverage, coercion and extortion. This becomes strategy as much as philosophy.

Australia and New Zealand stand apart, shielded by geography and relative disinterest from the Chinese. They resist absorption therefore, not through strength, but through irrelevance. China seeks self-sufficiency and non-opposition, the core of hemispheric dominance strategy, not empire. None of the players in global hemispheric reorganization will venture into long distance foreign conflicts (if possible), once hemispheric borders and spheres of influence have been definitively established.

Paradoxically, Eurasia is both destroyed and reborn. This dismantling has begun through Russian conflict in Ukraine, and once consolidated will spread through surrounding territories—including the Balkans, the Baltic, Poland, most former Soviet territories and Turkey—reshaping borders, loyalties, and national identities. Some nations as they collapse into a hemispheric and continental regional control, will lean toward creating the neo-feudal systems seen in Europe, while others will relinquish control completely dissolving into the predominant power center.

Devastating destruction of these areas, however tragic, is not an ending in itself. In fact, it is orchestrated by the aggressors currently as a demolition and clearing pogrom. In the future, Eurasia, and in particular Ukraine, will become one of the brightest regions of a newly ordered Eurasian hemispheric world— modern, artistic, cultural, free and financially prominent. 

It will also serve as a location on the globe that older Souls will seek to incarnate until their incarnations in this Dimension are complete. First however, sad and difficult as it is through 2030, the country is being karmically stripped to its foundations. In doing so, Russia gives new meaning to an ancient Chinese tale: "Kill the Chicken, to Scare the Monkey," whereby an organ grinder kills a chicken in front of his monkey to force his obedience and ensure he will dance. The monkey in this case, Eurasia, and the dance—hemispheric dominance and control by Russia.

This continental realignment, which effectively creates one-hemisphere-one-order, similar to the one-world order prophesized so often by so many, marks the death of globalization. Trade, travel, and cultural exchange shrink inward. Hemispheric and continental empires become self-sustaining, with little need to look beyond their borders or venture elsewhere. Knowledge and desire to visit distant lands will fade. Global travel, outside a continent or region, will become rare, unnecessary, even discouraged.

Virtual realities will provide those interested with a glimpse of other cultures and regions. But in general, the average person (probably a young Soul) may live their entire life without knowing anything of the world outside their hemisphere or continental territory—and will not be encouraged to ask or seek it out either.

Africa — Last of the Free Spaces

Of all the continents and hemispheres, Africa takes a unique path. As a mini-ice age and failure of the Gulf Stream renders high northern lands increasingly difficult to live in, and in conjunction with Europe’s ongoing difficulties following the continent’s terrorism breakdown and segmentation into feudal states, northern European populations begin to migrate southward. Russia, Scandinavia, Canada, and other northern regions empty out and depopulate, people moving toward more inhabitable climates, particularly after 2050.

Africa becomes the great receiving ground for many, not because it is conquered, but because for the most part, its continent remains open and spacious. As a matter of karma, this migration echoes unresolved historical imbalances, particularly related to nations from the northern hemisphere. There is also a strong karmic connection to the removal of Africans to slave holding countries by force in the past, as many of these souls have now reincarnated in the North. These people will return to the lands they were once taken from, while in Africa, those involved in enforcing enslavement in the past have now incarnated widely.

This migration also echoes the manner in which settlement of Europeans and others was made in North America in prior centuries, where existing Native American cultures were supplanted and, in some cases, removed by immigrant newcomers. This time, many of those who pioneered and displaced Native Americans will be the inhabitants of Africa dealing with an influx of outsiders into their lands. These events will be karmic in nature, spurred by the great fear and revile for immigrants experienced in Europe and the United State in through the 2030s.

As an outcome of this however, centralized authoritarian systems will fail to fully take hold in Africa. This lack of consolidated power or autonomy is precisely what opens the path of migration by those seeking refuge there, and this, in turn, balances the karmic energy created by the displacement of individuals from their homelands in history, as well as the fear and loathing experienced in populations faced with immigrant influxes in the early 21st Century.

Power on the African continent remains perpetually fragmented—with government controlled by warlords and local strongmen, unable to withstand the onslaught of refugees and immigrants. But as a result, the African continent avoids the rigid uniformity seen elsewhere in the world as it becomes overrun with outsiders and refugees.

Yet, in comparison to other world regions, Africa, particularly central and southern portions, stands out as relatively free and open. These open lands will be less regulated, less surveilled and less subject to authoritarianism or one-world order domination.

Though not without conflict entirely therefore, this continent is spared the full weight of continental domination by a singular culture or force, and nation states will continue to exist there. In that sense, even as it bears the strain of mass migration and uneven development, its resources remain intact and this continent becomes one of the less constricted and least controlled regions of the future world.

It is a karmic irony, that a continent so long enslaved, will serve as one of the last vestiges of freedom on the planet. The long suffering African continent, and its people, are thereby rectified in the coming period, as karma restores balance there following centuries of dominance, pillaging and neglect.

When we return, we will continue this discussion with the conclusion of our Six Part Series and a final look at karma, planetary reset, Ascension and the choices that will be faced by humanity…
