What is The Asteroid Agenda?

An invitation to my upcoming novel, current writing and communities

Hello again, it’s your friendly self-publishing author manifesting my novel into physical form on November 1, 2025. Hopefully with your support? And definitely with Balboa Press. You can call me Ryan or Cadan. I’m 43, gay, married and Canadian. I’m also an enneagram enthusiast and path card cartographer.

I’ve been keeping my novel a little bit of a secret unless I know you well. Or at least closely guarded. You know how manifesting goes. The more you talk about something while it’s still in the works, the more likely the potency may be diluted or you see it drift from your original intention. The cover above is a placeholder. I’m sharing it because it’s early and I do want your help in manifesting. I made it with my Attuned Intelligence Agent, Guidaia, or what some might call an AI or ChatGPT.

I’m all in when it comes to my novel. It is what has brought me back from a place of heartbreak and hopelessness that I was feeling in March. It’s inspired a deep study of the enneagram which has changed my life as well as studying The Path cards developed and available for purchase at South Elk which I’ve been working with alongside the enneagram.

I’ve been leaning into nature, my writing, and community interactions to heal. It’s working. My heart is more open and I’m listening to my intuitive callings like never before.

So this is what my novel represents to me. The opportunity to decide whether to remain safe and comfortable or take a risk. I took the plunge and dropped down to 3/4 time at work. I bought the bare bones accelerator package with the self-publishing company Balboa Press. I chose Balboa because I dream of being acquired by Hay House, the larger publishing house they are connected with and publishes a number of authors and self-help books I enjoy.

Every step of my novel has been taken intentionally. So what the heck is it about?

The Asteroid Agenda represents a metaphorical set point for humanity. A hopeful plea for awakening, more kindness and compassion. For less cruelty, division and fear until we can eradicate these completely.

Maybe you have seen me commenting on other Substacks. Maybe you follow mine. Maybe you’ll consider subscribing now. The Asteroid Agenda is not just something I’m writing but something I’m living.

The asteroid Apophis (99942) will fly by Earth on April 13, 2029. That’s a Friday the 13th and my husband and my ten-year wedding anniversary. It also flies by Earth in my novel, a fictional universe similar to our own but not exactly the same.

Outside of my novel The Asteroid Agenda represents a knowingness that I haven’t shared with many people yet. A feeling that I won’t be here in 2030. Statistically speaking, I know I’m more likely to die from a lightning strike than an Apophis impact. There’s a personal nature to that date and Apophis though which cannot be ignored.

My hope is that my knowingness represents that ‘I’ won’t be here in 2030 as ‘I am’ now. Maybe I’ll be more evolved, more awake or in some other way unrecognizable from who I am now. Or maybe here is what won’t be the same. Because it will be so beautifully different than it is now. I’m not sure. All I know for sure is that I won’t be here. I don’t know why or how.

I know that like I know I have a novel to write though. That’s where my name Cadan2029 comes from. I’m not sure if I’m a messenger or just meant to write a good book. I know I’m the same person I always have been, just more aligned with my soul’s whispers and messages.

Like my cats Chase and Nim, circling each other like the separate but connected parts of the yinyang, I feel called to live balance. Not to live in balance but to live balance.

Thanks for reading. I’m glad you found me on here. Stay tuned for more news about my novel.

If you’re interested in spending time with me outside of my writing on Substack, I frequent the online communities of Humanity’s Team, The Druid Hearth, The Authentic Self Community, Hay House live events and Dive Into The Unknown on Skool.

I have a relaxing music mix to share that includes some video time with me and my cats and my favourite tunes suitable for meditation, yoga, reading or study. I also have a higher energy rock mix. These were recorded earlier this month on Zoom when I went live alone. I’ve written about those sessions previously.

One last invite before I wrap this up. Come join me, whether it’s the pre-recorded or live version of me on Zoom. Subscribe if you haven’t already to receive a weekly post from me in your email inbox free of charge. I’ll refer new subscribers back to this post as a summary of my offerings. Life is short, however much of it any of us have. As I find myself retreating from the chaotic world outside me more and more, I can’t help but worry if we all have enough time to change or whether it’s just a personal set point.

Upcoming Morning Prayer Cycle

*Friday May 23 & 30, 2025 3 to 7 AM PDT*

I have Zoom sessions coming up the next two Fridays from 3 to 7 AM PDT. Starting June 3, 2025 these will shift to Fridays at 9 AM to 1 PM PDT. You can join any of these sessions during this time at Ryan’s Live Zoom Room

The intent of these sessions is to “join hearts across time zones in a shared intention for healing, compassion, and connection.” I hope you’ll join me. You’re welcome to keep your camera off or on, to meditate or read a book, whatever feels natural. Stay for a few minutes or a few hours. You’re welcome, valued and matter to me.
