A much anticipated moment has arrived! I have been waiting ever so patiently for January to get here; that’s when The Great American Think-Off drops the new question of the year.
The Great American Think-Off is an exhibition of civil disagreement between powerful ideas that connect to your life at the gut level. The Cultural Center, located in the rural farm and manufacturing town of New York Mills, sponsors this annual philosophy contest.
People of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to submit an essay of no more than 750 words for a chance to win one of four $500 cash prizes and participate in the live debate to ultimately answer the question, determined by audience vote.
The question is released each year on January 1st. Essays are then accepted through April 1st (postmark or electronic date stamp), with the finalists announced May 1st. The debate is held each year on the second Saturday in June.
Writers are encouraged to ground their essays in personal experience rather than philosophical abstraction. Each year, four writers will be selected as finalists, awarded $500 each, and invited to debate the question in front of a live audience on the second Saturday in June in New York Mills, MN.

2025 question:
“Is there only one truth, or are there many truths?”
Pumped by this years question, my response started flowing. I channeled my initial first draft in about twenty minutes. If you’ve listened to my podcast, you know how I roll; I wait patiently allowing as much cosmic ethereal magik as possible to be encoded within the project, before packaging and presenting it.
This patience period also allows for deepened real life experience and further innerstanding to present itself, with the conscious awareness of the question at hand. When we have an awareness our perception of reality now contains that factoid within our lens, viewing how it relates and corresponds.
I’m all about accuracy. So, laying down an initial perspective and then living life with an intentional conscious awareness; will allow me to then go back to my initial response and affirm accuracy, clarify inaccuracy and or add depth within details.
* sometimes I skip the initial channel and just go straight to the patience period and then a hindsight channel of all the information that was acquired during that period will flow out. I have no problem waiting for divine timing, if an initial response isn’t presenting itself. This is also why I don’t believe in the idea of procrastination. We can’t force when brilliance wants to be birthed, so why judge?
Let the fine-tuning process commence!
I will share my full essay once it has been submitted and essays are no longer being accepted.
I’ll keep you updated!
STATUS UPDATE: SUBMITTED (March 18th, 2025)
On the evening of March 17th 2025 (the night before I submitted), I experienced a massive crown chaka explosion, which quickly led to full body nausea. As I closed my eyes I witnessed multiple dimensions connecting to my third eye. The moment I laid down I was off to another reality. I spent the next 13 hours jumping from reality to reality, gathering information and awarenesses of future operating possibilities. The last week has really solidified how unique my internal realities aesthetics are, and I’m excited to bring them to life, in this physical reality.
The 2025 finalist have been chosen, so now I can share my submission! (June, 10th 2025)
“Is there only one truth, or are there many truths?”
If there is anything I have learned from being a bartender for almost twenty years, it’s that one person’s truth is not necessarily going to be anyone else’s truth. For we each have a unique perspective, filtration system and belief system based on our individual experience(s) and positioning within the overall experience.
I think of it like a concert venue or a roller coaster. It’s one person per chair, and each individual chair has its own unique vantage point and perspective that nobody else has. Our unique Galactic truth has foundational Universal truths encoded within, but it’s also incredibly interpretational, customizable and personalized.
Our individual preferences influence our perceived and chosen truths. For we each exist within our own realities, woven within a collective one.
“Is there only one truth, or are there many truths?”
There is Galactic truth (encoded foundational “neutral” Cosmic truth) and then there is individual interpretational truth, based on ones personalized experience.
For, everyone’s truth is true from their point of view. However, Galactic Law tells us the encoded truths of The Universe. Which then allows individuals to dissolve and shift the truths that are clearly stories, inaccurate beliefs or systematic programmings.
My name is Torie Smith. I am a Channeler, Spirit advisor, (Cosmic) Thought Leader, Motivational Speaker, Graphic Artist and Author, and I specialize in Divine Cosmic Consciousness and Galactic Attunement™; which is WHO we are Galactically and WHAT we are holographically.
In 2018, I had a massive spiritual Kundalini awakening that completely obliterated everything I thought I knew about this reality and WHO and WHAT I am. I specifically channel information from the year 2092 and can visually see the holographic layers of this experience.
I have spent the last seven years Channeling and applying the concepts of Divine Cosmic Consciousness, innerstandings of Galactic Law, and what this experience we all call life entails from the Creators point of view.
At the very core, The Universe is encoded in three things; abundance, neutrality and unconditional love. Everything else is simply a story in which we are telling and then perceiving, reflecting and projecting into our reality.
Our reality, individually and collectively is a direct reflection of our belief systems. As the collective becomes consciously aware of our Holographic and Galactic nature, the truths in which we once knew to be true, will no longer stand.
Most professionals in the space of Consciousness, Physics, Medicine and or Psychology come from a combined understanding of the 3D, social narrative, systemic training and physical tangibility. I filter all through the Laws of Galactic baseline and what this experience is on a quantum, god particle level (utilizing the holographic layer(s)).
When we look at industries like mental heath; we often see groups of boxes and labels that come from an agreed upon collection of, “this means this and that means that”. Where Galactic Law states; all is neutral; nothing means anything but the meaning we are choosing to provide it.
Because this experience functions like the placebo effect, individuals knowing their Galactic magnificence and unique Comic gifts is vital. It provides clarity and understanding of who we are 360°; Galactically, Cosmically, Ethereally, Celestially and Holographically.
When one knows they are Cosmically flawless by design they are allowed to embrace their magnificence and begin down a path of Galactic/Holographic self mastery, discovering and defining new truths for themselves and the reality they are navigating.
As we zoom in and back, the vantage point changes, which could fully influence the validity of once perceived truth(s).
Our vessels act as sophisticated air vents for The Universe to express herself through, which at points has added to personalization confusion, of what our “truth” is. The moment has come to remove this confusion and return to our rightful accuracy — Galactic and Holographic magnificence.
