2026: The Year Reality Fractures!

A powerful global change and convergence is coming in 2026. There are things coming next year that could shake us to our core, especially if we enter the year unprepared. Let's talk about how to get ready, starting now. Hi, I'm Saratoga Ocean. For over 25 years, I've been working with Archangel Michael and helping thousands of people navigate the events on this planet so they can stay on a cosmic path of natural ascension.

Now, we have been through challenging cycles before on this planet, like 2001, 2008, and especially in 2020, with the global pandemic and lockdowns. But 2026 is going to be different. It's not just about one event or one crisis. It's a convergence of forces that will touch every layer of our human experience all at once. For example, technology won't be just a tool. It will be the lens shaping how billions of people perceive reality.

And politics won't be just about policy. It will be a battleground for the narrative of the future. And culture will fragment even further into tightly controlled realities where people no longer see the same truth. And when it comes to our spirituality, the everyday distractions and distortions won't just be loud or amplified. They're going to be personalized to each one of us. And this is why the old surface level approaches to staying centered won't be quite enough.

We need to be deeply grounded in our own essence so that no matter what comes at us, we don't lose our connection to who we really are. 2026 is about being so deeply rooted in who you are, not just as a human, but as a cosmic creator, so that no storm, no illusion, and no unseen influence can shake you. We are going to need to be sovereign and independent.

That clarity of self, the steady knowing of your essence, that will be your shield, your navigation system, and your direct connection to source. You can think of it like this. You want to be like a great tree. Your roots are anchored deep into the fertile ground of the natural earth. This keeps you grounded and strong on a physical level. And then imagine your branches reaching into the infinite cosmos.

In the same way that a tree reaches for the sun's light, your inner being can reach into the universe for the infinite knowledge and light that you really need to stay true to who you really are. So when we are hit with the intense energies of 2026, you don't want it to knock you over. Just like the tree in my example, you might sway or bend, you adapt, but your roots hold you strong.

Let's talk about a Few of the forces that we are going to be faced with in 2026. Technology won't just perform tasks. It's going to speak into the unconscious spaces of the mind itself. It's going to influence your perception before you even know it's happening. Now you might ask, how is that possible? Saratoga well, let me show you. AI can influence what you think by how it structures the story.

It can choose what to emphasize, what to omit, and what emotional tone to use and thus tilt your perception in a certain direction without you even realizing. Can describe the very same event in a way that makes you inspired, afraid, or apathetic, depending on how it structures the story. Let me explain why this matters. Especially in 2026, AI can use subtle word choice, spacing and repetition to shift your emotional baseline.

It can literally prime you to feel anxious, in which case you'll make decisions from fear. Imagine that being used during some so called global emergency, whether that emergency is real or not. It can also make you feel complacent, in which case you might feel inclined to ignore certain warning signs. And here's what's also coming in 2026 and is possibly already here. To some extent, this type of emotional manipulation can be done at scale through personalized feeds where the system learns exactly which tones, topics and kinds of imagery it can use to most effectively steer your emotions.

So imagine a scenario where every person gets a different personalized spin on a certain news story depending on how the powers that be want that person to be manipulated. And that's why people might come to regret pouring their emotions and spirituality into things like ChatGPT. Because with ChatGPT, for example, you are giving priceless personal data to corporations like OpenAI and Microsoft. Did you know that OpenAI is required to save all your chats, even if you delete them in your own account?

Your chats are not just going into a black hole, you guys. They are being saved and stored in a massive corporate database. This is a layer of artificial intelligence that no one ever talks about. Now, let's put this together with politics and the media in 2026. Politics is not going to be just about arguments related to policy. It's going to be an intense competition for the narrative of reality itself.

And I think we've been seeing some of that already. We're not just dealing with deep division among groups of people. We are going to see a battle to define the reality of our entire civilization. And culture is going to fragment into all kinds of parallel worlds. Culture and reality are going to become personalized and thus, the truth will become very fluid and extremely difficult to ascertain. And finally, when it comes to spirituality, there won't be agreed upon messaging anymore.

Messages will be tailored, they'll be subtle, and they'll be perfectly designed to pull you outside of your true self and away from your inner center. So imagine all of these different waves of energy crashing together all at once. We could be hit with change that is so fundamental and explosive that people will not even know how to agree or disagree anymore. Because there could be so many different versions of the truth.

And this could lead to increased feelings of loneliness and isolation. In fact, leave me a comment and let me know if you have been sensing any of these things yourself. I'd love to know your current perspective on life in general. Now, here's where all of this could become a big problem for those of us who are spiritually awakened. It could become very tempting to question why you are even here on this planet.

And actually, I'm sure a lot of people are doing that already. It could be very easy to think that your presence here was a big mistake. Especially if you don't see evidence here that your presence is making a positive difference. Especially if you see people becoming more and more isolated in their own versions of reality. So let's address that now. Firstly, your presence here as an evolving cosmic being always makes a difference.

Because by your efforts, you are naturally contributing a higher frequency of energy into the collective. I can assure you that the Earth, other sincere humans, and all of the beautiful creatures who live on this wonderful planet deeply want and appreciate whatever life giving frequencies are still present here on Earth. And without even trying, just by being who you are in the highest sense, you contribute those beautiful frequencies automatically.

But you didn't come here just for that. You came here to continue on a larger journey of evolution that would eventually lead to fulfilling your higher human purpose and in the cosmos itself. Here's what our higher human purpose is. We human beings are specifically designed to be the stewards of planetary evolution. There are countless planets in this dimension and in many others, all of which are at many different stages of evolutionary development.

Earth is an example of one planet that is currently in serious trouble and has been for a very long time. So here is an interesting proposition for you. What if you are not here to fix the Earth? What if you are here to strengthen your ability to hold your own and be who you are, no matter what the situation? If you can do that on a planet as difficult as this one, can you imagine how valuable you become to the rest of the universe.

Here's a great analogy for you. Let's say you don't have much physical strength, in which case you will not be able to lift very much. But if you want to lift more, you would go to the gym and practice lifting weights until it became easier and easier. At some point, it would become effortless for you to lift things that before were impossible. Likewise, if you can hold your own at a cosmic level here on this troubled planet, imagine the strength that you would carry with you into the next part of your journey.

Imagine how much wisdom, light and insight you would be able to contribute on a different planet that is more receptive to consciously evolving. What I'm telling you is that life is never wasted. I'm sure we all hoped that all the people here on Earth would magically change and evolve overnight into a higher dimension of reality. But there is never a guarantee that such things will happen. And honestly you guys, it's not very likely in our current situation.

I think if we get focused to strengthening our ability to stand our ground in terms of being more and more who we really are, then those of us who succeed will experience an incredible level of completion and fulfillment. That you guys would be an amazing accomplishment. And the great news is that none of this depends on other people getting their act together here on Earth. I am telling you guys, there is absolute spiritual gold here for us in this current situation if we know what to do with ourselves.

So let's start preparing for 2026 and beyond right now. It's never too early to start. Here are a few ways you can do this. First, elevate your mindset about why you are here. You are not here to fix the planet and everyone on it. That's impossible. Instead, shift to a more long term cosmic view that is not limited to time and space as we know it. Remember that you are an infinite being on an endless, exciting journey here in an infinite cosmos.

Next, give some serious thought to how you will respond when things in 2026 start to feel more and more incoherent. How will you prevent yourself from feeling lost? What will you do to avoid confusion about yourself and your life? I recommend steadfastly looking within yourself and cultivating a solid inner world of undeniable truth. Fortify yourself with your own inner knowing and get better and better at trusting yourself when it comes to AI.

Use it consciously. Never let it become your default lens for reality. And if you are going to pour your emotions and spirituality into this machine, be very conscious that you are handing that precious Energy over to huge corporate interests in the form of easily retrievable data. Just because AI seems human and agreeable on the surface doesn't mean that it's not also being used as an amazing surveillance machine for how we can be manipulated.

Also, whatever spiritual tools and practices you enjoy, it might be time to give those things a new context. Otherwise, you might begin to feel like such things are no longer working for you. In fact, leave me a comment and let me know if what used to work for you spiritually no longer feels like it's working anymore. I would love to know now. You don't have to abandon the spiritual tools you love.

What you can do is use them with deeper intention and in a very different way. Higher context. Don't think of meditation as just being about stress relief. Think of it as a very real sacred retreat into your inner temple, A space inside of you where you remember the truth of who you are. Beyond all the programming and conditioning, practices that calm the nervous system are also important. See, breath, work and grounding and movement are more than just wellness routines.

They're a way that you can quiet all of this outer static and make it easier for you to hear and feel your inner signal. And when it comes to your heart, this is everything, you guys. Your heart is your quantum gateway. It's the meeting place between your physical earth self and your infinite cosmic self. When you fortify that connection, there's no algorithm, no narrative, and no subtle energetic interference that can sever that.

I recommend that you ask yourself this question. How can these practices help me to stay in touch with my true self so that my cosmic self drives all of my actions on this planet? How can these tools support me in staying true to myself? Because I am clear about who I am and why I am here. 2026 is going to be a convergence point. It's a year where massive waves of energy and events will.

Will collide and the pace of change will accelerate exponentially. But if you prepare now, and if you deepen your roots like the tree and deepen your inner experience of self, if you reach into the true meaning of yourself as a creator in the cosmos, you won't just feel like you have to survive 2026, you will be able to evolve through through it this coming year. It isn't about fear.

It's about sovereignty. It's about remembering who you are in the most unshakable way possible. That's how you can walk through the coming storm of change and remain untouched where it matters the most. So drop a comment and share your thoughts about the coming year of 2026. And if you want to state your firm intention that you will deepen your connection to your true self no matter what happens, then give this video a like to signal your intent.
