Creating a New World
By ignoring the old
(This post was originally published on my Substack, pameladellpalmer.substack.com on April 6, 2026)
This morning, my guides offered me a challenge.
They asked me to delete all of my news apps for two months. They want me to ignore the news. All of it. Which is hard, because as crazy, and sometimes horrific, as the news is these days, it’s also really, really interesting.
Here’s the thing. Most of what is passing for news isn’t even remotely true, regardless of which media you subscribe to. And even if it’s fairly accurate on the surface, there are layers and layers of complexity to it that we’re not receiving, or just not understanding.
Not long ago, I was scoffing at the conspiracy theories, but it’s becoming more and more obvious to me that there is so much going on behind the scenes that has been hidden, that is now being redacted, or actively undisclosed.
It’s fascinating. But it’s also infuriating, frustrating, and often scary.
And here’s the important part: those lower emotions (like anger, fear, and frustration) keep us stuck in a loop that we have to break free of. Because through them, we just keep creating more of the same.
Here’s what I mean.
The universe doesn’t respond to our words. The universe responds to our vibration, to how we feel. And the more we pay attention to that which feeds our fear, outrage, anger, or judgement, the more we send those vibrations out to the universe as a request.
“More of this, please.” And so it complies. It has no choice.
It doesn’t matter that we consider ourselves justified by our emotions, or that we don’t actually want to create more violence in the world.
Manifestation acts a lot like gravity. Gravity doesn’t ask, “Can I take the glass vase, or just the plastic one?” If you drop them, they’re both going down. Period.
If you send out vibrations of anger and fear, the universe is going to give you more things to feel anger and fear about. Or, more likely, just a lot more of the same. The universe isn’t unfeeling or cruel, any more than gravity is. It’s just the way it works.
That’s not to say that there aren’t guides and angels watching over us, but their job isn’t to fix things for us. It’s to guide us and, hopefully, help us to learn how this all works so that we can create what we want to experience for ourselves.
The tricky part is breaking this habit of ours, of recreating what’s in front of us. It’s especially hard, because many of us stew in these lower vibrations, these unwanted emotions, for much of our day, either by doom scrolling, worrying, catastrophizing during our conversations with others, or simply watching grim television and movies, playing violent video games, or reading depressing books.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of our entertainment is either violent, or designed to make us feel the miserable and depressing emotions of the protagonists.
Why? Because violence sells. Misery sells.
Again, why? Why do we gravitate to these?
Probably because they’re familiar, and our egos like familiarity. The ego does not like change. It is a lot like the abused wife who refuses to leave her husband, because the unknown is far scarier to her than the known, no matter how bad it is.
We’re creating our own reality all the time.
“I would have never created this!,” we often say, until we begin to understand that when we expect the current situation to continue, we’re actually creating more of it. “But I’m just being realistic!”
No, sorry, what you’re actually doing is throwing up your hands and saying, “I’m just a victim of circumstances.”
And nothing could be further from the truth.
We are far more powerful creators than we’ve been led to believe. We can, in essence, create any vibrational experience we wish to have, if perhaps not immediately.
So how do we break out of this loop? It’s simple. But not easy.
First, we have to stop sending out the low vibrations — the fear, anger, outrage, etc. (even if we think we’re fully justified in having these emotions). We must stop placing our order with the universe for more that will offer us those same emotions. Which means we need to stop ingesting the things that are making us angry or scared, or feeling outrage.
Stop watching the news, first and foremost. Stop doom scrolling. Turn away from the social media feeds that are designed to cause you outrage and to, “Donate now!”
And try to find the most uplifting ways to entertain yourself even if it’s just watching silly cat videos or Got Talent Golden Buzzer moments.
Then…and this is even more important…imagine something different, something better. Imagine what you do want to experience.
We don’t have to imagine the same things. Nor do we have to imagine anything in detail. After all, what we’re after is the feeling.
True creation comes through feeling.
Playing with the details can be a lot of fun, though, and this happens in the dimension of imagination.
What if we were to imagine a world in which the driving force behind every worldwide decision was compassion, cooperation, and kindness?
Your mind says, “Yeah right, like that could ever happen.”
Please ask your thinking mind to step back for a minute. Now feel into that statement. How would it feel if the world’s leaders were, say, a council of grandmothers? And if the finest minds, and the heads of corporations around the planet were actively, and happily, helping them solve the world’s food and housing problems?
How does this feel?
That’s what’s really important here. Creating the details is only a means by which to find the feeling, the emotion that we want to feel. The universe will provide the reality in the form that is in the highest good for each of us individually and for the collective, in alignment with our soul paths.
If the above scenario (however unlikely your mind tells you it is), makes you feel hope, or wonder, or gives you goosebumps, whisper to the universe, “Yes, that. Or better.”
If it doesn’t uplift you, imagine a scenario that does.
The world we see around us is old. What we’re calling ‘now’ was actually created some time ago. It’s been in the manifestation pipeline, so to speak, and is just now coming into physical form. But since, in our lack of understanding of how things actually work, we keep recreating from the same template – the same things over and over – this moment looks very much like the one that came before, and the one that came before that.
The way out of this is to begin to imagine something different.
“Universe, I’d like to place an order for this feeling of hope as I imagine a world in which there is no greed, no violence, no fear. Where everyone in the world is truly working together for the betterment of all. And where all of the children are safe, fed, and happy.”
We don’t have to figure out how this can come about, although it helps to believe that it can.
Or, at least, to be willing to believe that, just maybe, we as a human race do have the power to create a better world.
In the meantime, I challenge the creators among you to start writing stories and songs, and creating art, that is uplifting, rather than reflecting the world as it has been.
Those of us who have strong, active imaginations need to help those who don’t.
To that end, I’ll be posting the occasional Future News report in this space — fictional pieces designed help us dream and feel our way into a better world.
Stay tuned!
Now go do something fun.
