Do we need to create the New Earth or will it just happen to us? This is the big question I explore with my guest, MarBeth Dunn, in this week’s deep, eye-opening episode.

Buzz about the New Earth

There’s a lot of buzz these days about the “New Earth.” If you’ve been on YouTube or social media, you’ve probably seen theories about some big split happening—a divide where people end up on totally different paths. Some experts even describe it as two parallel realities where certain people no longer interact or even see each other.

Bashar, channeled by Daryl Anka, compares the New Earth coming to having two trains on separate tracks. The catch? You’ve got to pick your train fast because they’re leaving the station soon and you won’t get to change tracks later.

Honestly, I find this idea of a split a little daunting—and, to be real, it just doesn’t sit right with me. Isn’t 5D supposed to be about unity and leaving the duality of 3D behind? How does that jive with this notion of separation?

When I hear about these predictions, I can’t help but wonder – aren’t we supposed to be moving away from “us vs. them” thinking? That’s when I asked MarBeth for her take. And, of course, we explored how this same mindset shows up in everyday life—like our divisive politics here in the U.S., where “my way or the highway” seems to rule the day.

Why Separation Doesn’t Work

For me, the idea of separation doesn’t make sense and feels counterproductive. Like in politics, if differing beliefs divide us so much that families can’t even share a holiday meal, is that really progress?

MarBeth and I both see unity as the way forward. The whole idea of splitting into groups on divergent “trains” feels less like ascension and more like elitism. To truly embrace the New Earth, it seems to us that unity has to be front and center—not separation.

Gratitude Fosters Unity

As MarBeth pointed out, real progress starts with finding ways to connect, even when we don’t agree. She’s deeply inspired by A Course in Miracles, as a long term student and teacher of this work. The Course reminds us that “we all need to go together.” That vision of unity isn’t something that will just arrive or happen to us—it’s something we create through our everyday thoughts and actions.

One simple but powerful practice to create unity and positivity is focusing on gratitude. Shifting our attention from what divides us to what connects us also naturally raises our vibration. And as MarBeth and I agree, gratitude is one key to harmony.

By prioritizing connection and appreciation, we start creating the kind of world we all want to live in from the
