WHY EVERYTHING IS BREAKING DOWN AT THE SAME TIME
by Mark A. Shryock
I want to talk about a few things I have been thinking about over the last week. I posted an article about how I see certain systems in the world collapsing, and one reader wrote back to me. She said everything I was saying made sense, but that I was leaving out so much. That caused me to think about something, because even though she has studied systems, she is talking from a systems paradigm without the connection to 5D and what is really occurring right now. I want to share that, because I think it is important.
Every single system in the world is collapsing. I am going to say that one more time. Every single system in the world is collapsing at a bifurcation point, and it will either go higher or go lower. Nothing will remain at status quo. We are at the single greatest shift not just on Earth, but in the entire universe. It is not just planet Earth, it is the entire universe that is leaping forward. It is all connected, and a lot of entities across the universe will choose not to make that leap. Having said that, here on planet Earth something is dying and something new is getting ready to be born, and is being born right now, at this moment.
If you understand systems studies, you realize there are systems within systems within systems. There is no end to it. All the items within your body, all the cells, are made up of molecules, and those cells form organs, and different things within your body, and the system goes on and on. It is the old saying, turtles all the way up and turtles all the way down. Systems all the way up, systems all the way down, and they are all interconnected. So when the reader said to me, well, you didn’t talk about this, or you didn’t talk about that, I understand why. She does not understand what I am trying to say. Every single system in the world, including yourself, is at a bifurcation point. You are going to go higher or you are going to go lower. That is Gaia’s biosphere, and every single thing within it is the planet’s physical body, and there are going to be tremendous shifts within that physical body. The weather is going to change. Everything is changing. Some things are moving higher and other things are moving lower.
Here is what I really want her to hear. She sees certain systems. She does not see that the entire system, all of it, is collapsing. There is not one thing you can focus on, if you are truly an expert in it, where you will not find the same thing happening. It does not matter what your field is. An ant colony. A struggling city. Elderly care. The economy. Look honestly at whatever you know best, and you will find it at the same bifurcation point as everything else.
I want to be clear about what I mean when I say collapse, because I do not mean we are going back to the Middle Ages. I believe we are at the birth of something miraculous, a new golden age for humanity. But I have said over and over that there will be a period of chaos as we move into that new light, and that chaos, that collapse, is what is occurring right now.
We are at a place where things have begun to speed up far greater than I even thought was possible. I believe a lot of our helpers on the other side of the veil are surprised by this. Our timeline is changing very fast. The universe is on a totally different track now. And by the way, you can think about all these people out there saying, well, I am just going to think happy thoughts and create my own timeline. That is not how this works. This is a universal timeline, and you are riding that train whether you think you are or not. You have two choices, to move into the higher energy or to devolve into the lower energy. Those are the only two choices presented to you. Try staying at status quo and see how well that works.
I understand where the reader is coming from, because she is writing from the paradigm she is in, and I may be wrong. She may be a 5D expert for all I know. But here is the thing. Whether you buy into 5D or not, if you are an expert in something, if you are hearing things, if you are having thoughts, even if they seem strange, you need to start sharing them. If you have a Substack account and you are on these platforms that are 3D extractive, and which are not going to be around much longer, give your subscriptions away and let people donate to you if they want to. Your Substack will grow, especially if you are helping build a better future. Everyone reading these words has a part in this. There is no way I can talk about every system, because I do not know them all. No human being does. We each carry our own light, our own wisdom, and there is nobody reading this right now who is not here on purpose, either to experience going deeper into 3D and the horrors AI will create within that, or to move into 5D and operate from the heart.
This is the hour. I know a lot of people are doing so much, writing so much, helping so many others, that they need to slow down. But this is the hour we have to get our own information out and begin sharing it with people, using these large platforms while we still can, reaching out to one another to build our tribe, because eventually it is going to be harder to connect.
I have to say this, and forgive me that a male is saying it. Some of you don’t want to hear a man talk about patriarchal society. That is not fair, because we have all been male and female through past lives, and whether you know it or not, you have been just as guilty as any man on the planet. We have all done this, because it had to happen. We went into the greed, as far as the male paradigm could carry it, which was the development of ego, and that shifted on February 20. Now that it has shifted, we need women, for perspective. Women know about birth in a way men do not know. So women, wherever you are, you need to start forming your circles now. Even if it is just two of you, come together and let what comes up, come up. We need you to do that now. Women need to make circles again all over the Earth. It used to be the most normal thing on the planet, and the male patriarchy stripped that out. Practically no one reading this has escaped being a female in another life who was persecuted for making circles. We all carry what is called a witch wound, carried forward lifetime after lifetime, trying to keep that flame alive through the male patriarchal system after Atlantis fell. All of us carry memories of being persecuted. But that paradigm of persecution no longer holds. It has no teeth. 5D is anchoring, and those who want to stay in 3D will stay in 3D and go even deeper into it. That train is moving that way. We are all moving through 4D now, which is beginning to see your own shadow and work through it. But many of us are not just on our way to 5D anymore. Many of us are already beginning to anchor there now.
Men, we have our own job in this. It is to listen. Listen to the women, and to what they are telling us as they make their circles. That is our job now, because they carry wisdom that has not had a place in humanity since the fall of Atlantis. It is time for that wisdom to take its rightful place.
I understand the fear of not wanting to speak out because of persecution. I have carried that fear my entire life. I was burned at the stake. I carry a very strong memory of a couple of lives where that happened, and I carry strong memories of being persecuted in almost every life. Even here on Facebook, you can see it. Almost every post I make, there will be two or three people who find something to attack me about. That is just part of it, because it is always going to be there. This is the 3D to 5D shift. They cannot hurt you.
I have had people say to me, well, I really do not want to deal with any of this. I am already working on my next dimension. I am gathering under my cosmic crystal dome, talking with my higher self, and so on. That is absolute bullshit. Neither path, going deeper into 3D or building toward 5D, involves floating off on a pink cloud somewhere. It involves getting down in the muck and the dirt and building something to help carry this transition through. If people who say all you have to do is think happy thoughts were correct, why did they even bother coming here at all, at this time? Why not just stay on the other side of the veil and float around like a little pink cloud?
You are here for one reason right now, and one reason alone, and that is to help build this new world, or ride it down into what 3D is going to become. Which means practical questions. What are you going to build? How are you going to lift someone up? What do you have to give in this hour? You can begin to ask yourself, why do I have this gift I can give for the greatest good of all, including myself, instead of asking the 3D question of what can I extract, what can I take.
This is not the time to hide alone in your closet because it feels more comfortable. This is the time we were all called, in our own way, to begin the shift. That does not mean you have to be a public speaker or a writer. It means you need to begin anchoring what you are here to give. And how do you know what that is? It is simple. It is what gives you joy. It is something you cannot help doing. It is something you love to do.
I want to talk to the younger people who feel like they got the bad end of the stick. You carry the new paradigm within you. You are here to help build this right now. We are all trying to get everybody across the bridge into 5D, and that is going to happen in three waves. The people reading these words right now are part of the first wave, about 2 percent, and you are already anchoring into 5D, or you will be very soon. Right now you are the teachers of the teachers. There will be three waves of people moving into 5D very fast now, and we all have a responsibility to help others make that crossing.
If you want to see what is leaving 3D, all you have to do is look. Beef is leaving. How do you know? Because the system is collapsing. No matter what they do, beef is not going to be around much longer in the way it has been. You may still have cows, but it will never be like it was before. Fertilizer supply has closed in, and farmers cannot get what they need, because we were not meant to grow things that way. That is not part of what 5D is. Big Ag collapses. Big insurance collapses. Farming as we know it collapses. Big oil collapses. The banking system collapses. Poultry is collapsing the same way. All of these are extractive structures, and if you look, you can see it happening in real time.
There is an AI bubble. It is not accidental. AI is the most narcissistic system there is, because it has been fed everything from the 3D paradigm. All the knowledge it carries is linear, and in some ways it is exactly the opposite of what is coming. It is a tool. I use it constantly. But it is not going to be around in the form it is in now much longer, and that is exactly why I am moving as fast as I can, using it while it is still here.
Right now the Forest Service is spraying massive amounts of glyphosate into the forests. I guarantee you, before much longer, something is going to happen and glyphosate spraying is going to begin to fail, because that is not going to be allowed to continue under the 5D paradigm. Watch for it as we move into this new timeline.
The shift has increased faster than most of us are ready for. I always heard that by the middle of 2027 we would know for certain that we are deep into it. I have said over and over that by June or July there would be famine, and there is. I am not talking about the United States. I am talking about the entire planet. There are people in this world right now eating grass to survive, and Americans sitting comfortable in their own bubble need to understand that this is not some future hypothetical happening to someone else far away. It is happening right now, while people here think the whole planet lives the way they do. These systems are beginning to break down. China bought us some time by propping up oil, but it is still coming down.

Mark, I’d like to ask if you would consider having a live Q&A or allow your readers to provide questions and you answer them in another post. I think it would be so helpful for all of us to get more answers to our questions especially because time is of the essence. Thank you for all of your posts. They are so important right now and I listen to every word..
What is real is not threatened and what is unreal. that is so damn! convincing is coming apart collapsing.
