At the end of 2021 Italy, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Austria are mandating vaccinations for every citizen, and closing off the unvaccinated from access to society. This is happening around the world, almost exclusively in (formerly free) democratic countries.

It is impossible to predict the future because the entire planet is moving from an old system and onto a new track. There are so many billions of variables in play because the system is fluctuating wildly. The only way to get a handle on current events is to take a viewpoint from 40,000 feet.

Humanity is involved in a spiritual ascension. In order for that to happen enough of humanity’s karma must be resolved to expose the underlying evil and darkness. This involves exposure of the arms trafficking networks, the drug trafficking networks, and most important, the human slavery networks with their pedophilia, child abuse, and the sexual abuse of women.

That is happening as I write this.

This exposure is inevitable; the only question is how fast it will occur.

Mass formation

In the US today, journalists, activists, politicians, and people on social media mostly push narratives, not information.

In December of 2021, the country is completely polarized, largely around one figure: Donald Trump. Trump has not been president since January 2021, yet the mainstream media news is either pro-Trump or anti-Trump. Donald J. Trump lives rent free in the heads of almost every American.

The Trump phenomenon – a divisiveness and a preoccupation that borders on obsession – is an offshoot of what psychologist Prof. Mathias Desmet calls “mass formation psychosis,” (MFP), which is associated around the world with the lockdowns and forced vaccinations being attempted by many of the world’s governments in relation to COVID-19. In a nutshell, MFP occurs when a society is overcome by fear and discontent (COVID), and is exacerbated when people are separated and lack social bonding (lockdowns). When society also experiences what Prof. Desmet calls a “lack of sense-making,” (events have no definitive causation and seem to have occurred senselessly) mass phenomenon can emerge. In Prof. Desmet’s words:

So: meaning, anxiety, and discontent that is not connected to a specific representation. So it needs to be in the mind without the people being able to connect it to something. If you have these four things—lack of social bonds, lack of sense-making, free-floating anxiety, and free-floating psychological discontent—then society is highly at risk for the emergence of mass phenomenon. If this free-floating anxiety is highly present in a population, and the media provide a narrative, which indicates an object of anxiety, and at the same time, describe a strategy to deal with this object of anxiety, then all the anxiety connects to this object and people are willing to follow the strategy to deal with this object, no matter what the cost is. That is what happens in the beginning of mass formation.

Then in a second step, people start a collective and heroic battle with this object of anxiety. And in that way, a new kind of social bond emerges and a new kind of sense-making. Suddenly life is all directed at battling the object of anxiety and in this way, establishing a new connection with other people. And that, the sudden switch of a negative state, a radical lack of social connection, to the opposite, to the massive social connection that is experienced in a crowd. This sudden switch leads up to a sort of mental intoxication. That’s what makes mass formation, or crowd formation, the exact equivalent of hypnosis. All people who have been describing, who have been studying, mass formation, such as Gustave Le Bon, for instance [William] McDougall, [Elias] Canetti have remarked that mass formation is not similar to hypnosis; that mass formation is exactly equal to hypnosis. Mass formation is a sort of hypnosis.

What happens is that at that moment, when people experience mental intoxication, it doesn’t matter anymore whether the narrative is correct or wrong, even blatantly wrong. What matters is that it leads up to this mental intoxication. And that’s why they continue to go along with the narrative, even if they could know by thinking for one second, that it is wrong. That is the central mechanism of mass formation. And that makes it so difficult to destroy it. Because for people, it doesn’t matter when the narrative is wrong. And what we try to do is we all try to show constantly that the narrative is wrong. But for people that’s not what it is all about. It’s all about the fact that they don’t want to go back to this painful state of free-floating anxiety.”

From the website zero-sum.org, “Mass Formation (Psychosis) and the Coronavirus Narrative,” Interview with Prof. Mattias Desmet by Reiner Fuellmich and the Corona Investigative Committee, at https://zero-sum.org/mass-formation-psychosis-and-the-coronavirus-narrative/#close

This is precisely what is happening in the US regarding COVID, the vaccine, and Donald J. Trump. A schism in U.S. society has formed. Competing narratives completely black out information from “the other side,” because blind adherence to a narrative makes sense of events (even if the narrative isn’t science- or data-based) and prevents you from sliding back to a state of anxiety. Each side is convinced (or determined) that their side is correct, and the other side is wrong. In mass formation psychosis, pseudo-science and propaganda largely replaces the free flow of information, particularly as regards medicine and the medical bureaucracy.

That is not to say that everyone in the US is suffering from MFP; that is far from the case. However, mass formation phenomena does acutely manifest itself on social media and in the news media, and in discussions about politics or current events. You may see it if one of the memes or tropes from a competing narrative is brought up in a group or in a discussion forum. Someone may become “triggered” when one of these memes is challenged, because it threatens the overlay that protects them from the fear and the senselessness. Once you familiarize yourself with the narratives on both sides, you can spot the mask, get underneath it, and have a real conversation.

Interestingly, many arguments, even on subjects like COVID or vaccine mandates, will eventually devolve to pro-Trump or anti-Trump. Donald J. Trump is, apparently, the human avatar, or representative, of a national schism in the United States.

That’s the state of affairs as I write this.

However, mass formation can also work to the positive. The population of the US is around 327 million, and everyone is divided into two camps! That means that there is tremendous agreement and cohesion within each camp on the narrative each supports.

Both narratives agree that the world is filled with disinformation.

So, what happens when the truth comes out?

Some will stick to their narrative because it protects them from the uncertainty that created the narrative. It would be too uncomfortable for them to acknowledge anything else. But truth is recognizable to everyone; you have to deliberately turn away from it. Lies are exposed by the truth, if it really is the truth! As truth exposes lies, the cohesion formed within each group will gradually produce broad agreement on a new narrative: the factual one, the scientific one, the one based in data. The two competing narratives will crumble underneath the weight of the lies and untruths contained within each one. A mass formation will then occur around a more constructive narrative; one that can actually lead to problem solving instead of endless debate and hatred.

How can this happen?

The new time track

As I said in my last post, peace on earth will probably not eliminate evil, but it will establish enough tolerance to achieve an interval of relative peace (as opposed to the present insanity) where people can step back, assess the truth, and begin again in a spirit of enough tolerance to get back in communication with each other. Life will not be like it was before the pandemic. That life was lived on an old circular track, where humanity’s past was a burden and an impediment to clear sight.  “The more things change the more they remain the same” was the hallmark of the old track, because the train of humanity kept revisiting the past over and over again as it kept traversing the same circle.

But what if humanity is on an entirely new, fresh track? One where the past no longer exists?

What if the circular track of human thought has a bypass that leads to another track above it? That track would have no past to slow us down. The bypass has always been there, the higher track has always been there, we just never saw it. More and more of us are seeing it. We’re on the shunt now that leads up to the new track.

Stuff is happening that has never been seen before: worldwide pandemics, lockdowns of entire nations, forced vaccinations, people getting triggered and doing insane things.

If the past is no longer there as a massive anchor, holding us back, it also means that we’re going to see more and more crazy stuff. The system is in a chaotic state where all possibilities are being explored and past karma is being resolved, before the system settles down to a higher state of consciousness. On the old track, the past, and tradition, limited the set of potentials.

How fast we get off the shunt and on to the new track is entirely dependent on our free will choices.

Eventually, people will recognize that the planet is on a new timeline; a track where past conflicts and hatred don’t exist. Imagine that the train of humanity, instead of going round and round on the old track of war, hatred, and conflict, moves to a clean one with no past. The track is clear! We still have the ability to create the future on the new track just like the past on the old track, but the clear track will allow ages-old karma to work itself out.

The Light is shining brighter and brighter. Evil is being exposed. The agendas of the Dark Side are coming to the fore. To resolve the karma we must face up to it, inspect it, and work through it.

It’s chaotic, because everyone who has had a lifetime on earth, in the past, is on the planet now. The planet is like a huge gameboard where everyone is working out their karma with everyone else.

Predictions

Here are my predictions for 2022:

The world will soon achieve herd immunity from COVID and its various strains. According to Dr. Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine platform, the latest strain, Omicron,

is 10 times more infectious than the original variant and two times more infectious than Delta. Omicron will become the predominant strain in the USA very shortly. So, whether vaccinated or not, Omicron is more mild and will spread throughout the land. Let me write that again, all evidence shows that Omicron is more much more mild and vaccinated or unvaccinated will catch this variant…There have been NO DEATHS reported anywhere in the world with Omicron, including in the USA. Now there will be, because older people, people with high co-morbidities will catch Omicron and will die. People die from the common cold too. We can expect this – do not be swayed by the fear-porn that is sure to come when these deaths happen.”

Interview with Dr. Malone

I’m sure that deaths will be reported from Omicron, but if Dr. Malone is right, Omicron will allow everyone to develop antibodies and immunity to any other strains that show up. Omicron is a sign that the virus has mutated itself into relative harmlessness, compared to the original and it’s offshoots up until Delta.

The forced vaccinations will fail, mainly because the effectiveness of the vaccines has been greatly exaggerated. When the truth about the ineffectiveness of the mRNA vaccines is broadly acknowledged, people will be able to get past the false narratives of Big Pharma. Those who resolutely promoted them will no longer have the influence they once had.

Transhumanism will become the next focal point. Transhumanism is a completely materialistic field that is interested in “improving” humanity via artificial means such as CRISPR (gene altering), neural chips (Elon Musk), nano-biology (which will insert responsive programmable nanobots into the body), the new mRNA vaccines (which use lipid nanoparticles to transfer mRNA sequences to reprogram cells), and, of course, AI or artificial intelligence.

AI systems are ubiquitous in corporate culture. They are being tested on the ground in China, where the regime has allied with Big Tech in the West to create a ubiquitous surveillance state complete with digital IDs and social credit scores. The goal is to replace humans with AI systems, build a “smart grid” that connects everything in the Internet Of Things, and ultimately create what Transhumanists call the Internet of Bodies, where chipped and nano-botted humans are surveilled from the moment of birth to the instant of death. Watch for this; it’s coming to a screen near you in 2022. AI also includes the newly created Metaverse, which replaces humans with avatars in a fake, digitally created Virtual Reality universe. All of these metaverse networks, of course, go right to the cloud and those who participate in them are recorded and monitored. The idea is to diminish human contact and association, and replace it with artificial constructs that can be easily controlled.

Humanity is engaged in a spiritual ascension. But first, we must get through the agendas of the Dark Side. In 2022, these agendas will become more publicized. A significant proportion of the population will welcome them.

Past 2022, I think we’ll see a gradual diminution of the acceptance of these technologies by the majority of the population. Mainly because the promoted effectiveness of AI and virtual reality are highly exaggerated. All of them are based purely on intelligence, which cannot replace consciousness

For example, the intelligence behind the new Engineered Arts’ Ameca robot appears to have consciousness, but it is purely a simulation. (Please watch this 40 second video.)

There’s nothing behind those eyes except an algorithm (designed by a human being with consciousness) but Ameca itself has no inherent consciousness. These “human” robots are fake, like Transhumanism itself. They are essentially data collectors, whose information goes back to a corporate or government database, and/or an AI surveillance and monitoring system.

Transhumanism will fail because the motivation for life extension promoted by Transhumanism is purely based in fear: the fear that consciousness is extinguished after death of the body. So of course, the body’s life must be extended by any means. Behind Transhumanism is the materialistic belief that a human being is a piece of meat, and that consciousness and awareness are snuffed out when the body dies. This is an adolescent postulate, which every person who has self-awareness understands. Sadly, those who go for this will be those with little or no self-awareness. But the rest of us won’t go there!

An imperfect world

All of us were born into an imperfect world, a world of low consciousness. Right now, the world is being run by those with low consciousness. Nevertheless, to continue to expect low consciousness in the future will create a future the same as the past. Therefore, it is important for those with self-awareness to postulate a future where humankind solves its intractable problems.

We are on a new track now, but if our expectations do not rise above the “same old shit” we’ll get the same old shit. If you are reading this you are almost certainly an old soul, someone who has had lifetime after lifetime on this planet. You’ve seen it all, probably, and know how events used to go: toward a bad result. Well, it’s different now. We’re on a new track, without the burdens of the failed past.

It’s up to us. Those with self awareness, and old souls, understand the problem and the difficulties. However, we have one huge advantage: the power of co-creation. We understand that although humanity has 100% free will to create anything, the laws of the universe have been designed to support whatever decisions we make. So many people are waking up, that the balance between dark and light has now tipped the scales in favor of the light. Therefore, our expectations and intentions for a positive life and a positive future have been enhanced. Now isn’t the time to bemoan what happened in the past, or look to current events and say that the dark is winning.

It isn’t. It’s being exposed.

Karma is being worked out with 8 billion souls in ways that are so inexplicable and complex that no one can understand it. Moreover, the process of a soul incarnating is not random. All souls choose their environments and their parents; the Big Guy doesn’t just shove you into a body. All souls before incarnation are completely aware of the Big Picture and understand every variable in the equation of earth and in the human family. People go where they are most needed. Souls understand the karmic groups on the planet, their own soul family, and each person has a soul purpose and a soul mission. So, everyone is placed where they can do the most good. Free will obviously alters that situation, but millions of people die every day, and millions more come in fresh and new, into the new track, with soul missions that are better understood and have a greater chance of success.

Those who turn to the dark side are sticking out like sore thumbs. The light is shining so brightly that it takes a conscious effort to turn away from it. Chins up!

“Everything is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.”
— Dr. Pangloss, in Candide

Voltaire wrote this phrase as a sarcastic and damning expression of delusional persons who remain optimistic despite the reality of negative events. But this sentence can also be regarded from a higher perspective.

In these days when everything seems to be going haywire, and wrong, there isn’t a lot of meaning to the idea of the “best of all possible worlds.”

Or is there?

A materialist, an atheist, a secularist will tell you that the world is going to hell because life is a meaningless concatenation of random events. This philosophy, as we talked about in the last post, results in people believing that the earth is headed for a catastrophic climate event that will destroy life on the planet. To a cynic, such a conclusion is obvious and inevitable.

But what if there really is such a thing as natural law? In that case, life is not random, but is operating along benevolent lines that have created a beautiful planet, and complex ecosystems, that nurture and support life.

Now we have to throw in the variable of free will.

It is obvious that free will is a variable in this play we call life, for what we see as reality is so complex and bizarre that it could only result from the unfettered decisions of 8 billion human beings.

It appears that life is random (so materialists can be forgiven for thinking this) because there are so many individuals on the planet making so many free will decisions. Yet life goes on despite the madness. The earth supports life; it cocoons millions of species within a myriad of different environments. It appears that some kind of universal operating system is holding everything together; uniting so many variables to form a complex, but unified, whole.

Despite the madness of human events in certain places, the world keeps working.

In other words, given free will and irrational human decision-making, we are living in the best of all possible worlds.

I’m not sure Francois-Marie Arouet would agree with me, but the earth – despite the changing climate cycles for the past several millions of years – seems to be well regulated. Apparently, the operating system that regulates the earth has no agenda. Humankind is free to destroy itself if it wants to, or evolve peacefully in cooperation with Gaia. Either way, the earth isn’t going anywhere, despite the claims of climate lunatics over the past century.

If natural law exists then it regulates the earth, and all the life upon and within it. So humanity is also subject to natural law, as are human events, with the governing variable of free will added in. Therefore, Dr. Pangloss was right: Everything is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.

The Shift

What does an evolution in consciousness look like?    

My guess is, a lot like current events.

Humanity is undergoing a psychic cleansing; old karma is being worked through. Everyone who has ever had a lifetime on earth (and has accumulated karma) is working it out.

So events seem random, unexplainable, and scary.

Humanity is undergoing a shift in consciousness. This will result in an understanding of the importance of seemingly esoteric variables such as thought, intent, and expectations. These are qualities of consciousness. They are not scientific or quantitative.  They are attributes of consciousness that affect the physical reality of our society, for action always follows thought.

This idea has been around since Plato, and probably before.

Thought, intent, and expectations interact with natural law (the universal operating system) to affect physical reality.

As the earth gradually emerges into a galaxy teeming with life, this will become more and more obvious.

The crazier human events get, the more important it is to understand the power of thoughts and beliefs. Our expectations about future events place those expectations and beliefs on the future timeline. Human events are, essentially, a gigantic self-fulfilling prophecy of the human collective consciousness.

The Shift is the process of coming to realize that there is a higher power, a powerful esoteric system that is beyond the adolescent conception of materialism and secularism. These philosophies are taking us to their ultimate evolutionary direction: Transhumanism. Transhumanism is the materialists’ wet dream: a future where biology is altered and merged with technology to interface with artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, this evolutionary path is a dead-end for humanity. It will create a dystopian technocratic future where human beings are reduced to apps in a planetary blockchain run by AI. It will create, as it evolves, a dumbed down human race that will exist as a collectivist hive mind before the technological singularity absorbs us into an artificial super-intelligence where human beings are no longer necessary.

Of course this scenario is sociopathic. It is promoted by people like Ray Kurzweil of Google, who believe in the inevitability of humanity’s merger with the technology it created, a concept widely known as “the singularity.” In this vein, Jose Luis Cordiero of Singularity University at Google (who works with Ray Kurzweil) said to the audience at the recent Transhumanist conference in Spain: “You are here by mistake. You are the last non-designed [by AI] generation.” These people actually believe this!

Before we roundly criticize Mr. Kurzweil and Mr. Cordiero, let’s remember the maxim that we live in the best of all possible worlds, with the variable of free will. Concepts like Transhumanism are necessary in order to show humanity the possible outcomes of its evolutionary choices. Do we want to live in a dystopian society? How would we know whether it’s bad or good unless it becomes a viable option?

People learn best through experience. AI is now being embraced by many in the scientific community, who are doing a good job publicizing it to the public. We are seeing what a Transhumanist world might look like, with proposals like Elon Musk’sneural chips implanted into the brain to allow communication with any computer on the web (hackable humans!). With our free will, we must decide collectively whether we manifest that dark path. Therefore, we should all thank Mr. Kurzweil, Mr. Musk,  Mr. Cordiero, and other Transhumanists, for bringing these ideas forward and into the human consciousness.

It’s all part of the Shift.

The Great Awakening

This is a general term that describes the shift in human consciousness from a materialist, technocratic conception into one that recognizes a higher power that created the universe, the earth, and all life everywhere. Opposing this idea is the Great Reset, the Dark Army’s conception of a collectivist hive-mind society under the boot heel of a global technocracy controlled by  sociopaths.

This isn’t a battle between dark and light so much as a set of possible choices.

I’ve used that phrase a lot until I understood that the dark-light framework is a dichotomy that forces you into a mentality of conflict. Human consciousness is beginning to rise out of that duality and into a more peaceful and pan-determined outlook on the problems that face us as a species.

I found this definition of dichotomy on Wikipedia: “A dichotomy is a partition of a whole into two parts. In other words, this couple of parts must be

• jointly exhaustive: everything must belong to one part or the other, and

• mutually exclusive: nothing can belong simultaneously to both parts.”

The key is the phrase, “nothing can belong simultaneously to both parts.” Here we have a built-in exclusivity that promotes division and conflict. If we look at current events not as a battle or a fight, but as merely a set of choices to be freely accepted or rejected, we can avoid verbal and physical conflict. This, I believe, is what the Great Awakening is all about.

In order to validly accept or reject a concept it must be manifested, and must be experienced. Therefore, the presence of darkness or evil is a necessary component to an advance in consciousness.

Evil will disappear tomorrow if people don’t embrace it.

People who abuse others were themselves abused. Human nature is actually benevolent, not cynical or violent. Human beings incarnate as souls that are directly connected to God, or Spirit, or the One. The earth is simply an experiment where a person comes in untainted, then picks up the karma from their past life. In the past, that’s all we had to roll with. Now, that old karma is being resolved in an accelerated process where 8 billion of us are here all at once. That’s why events are so crazy! The dark memes in human consciousness are on full display now. They must be confronted, worked through, and transcended.

Concluding Thoughts

We are living in the best of all possible worlds. Our free will choices set the bar low, or high. Ideas don’t battle each other; that conception itself guarantees conflict. When we look at the current crazy situation as a series of choices, rather than a fight, we can gain clarity on where we’re going.

In the September issue we talked about going beyond good and evil, and dark and light. We said that humanity was on an evolutionary path out of millennia of low consciousness, and gradually (but painfully) moving to higher consciousness.

Dark and light are polar opposites, but two sides of the same coin. Focusing exclusively on the light ignores real problems that have been created over the millennia: memes, emotions, thoughts, and intentions that are still rooted firmly within the human psyche. Therefore, “staying in the light” without a cleanup of old energy is nice, but it won’t transform consciousness on this planet. Humanity has created such a huge depository of negative energy that it must be confronted if we are to move to a higher state of consciousness.

A science fiction writer once said, “The first step in handling anything is gaining the ability to face it.”

We are facing a multi-millennia buildup of dark memes and energy created via the exploration of low consciousness. That stuff doesn’t go away. It’s all recorded in the collective consciousness of humanity, and within the esoteric fields that are part of the earth.

Gaia records everything that happens to her. Including the thoughts, emotions, and activities of human beings. That’s because the purpose of a planet – any planet – is to nurture and support life. There’s a record of human experience in human consciousness – the Akash – and one the planet stores as well.

The point is, these recordings don’t go away. They are permanent. Unless confronted and transcended, they leave a permanent stain within the collective consciousness.

Materialism

Of course, the above section would be regarded as utterly nonsensical and delusional by materialists. A quote from a “meaning of life” website reflects the mindset of such people:

“Human life has absolutely no meaning. Humans are the outcome of blind evolutionary processes that operate without goal or purpose.”

There are many, many people on this planet who firmly believe this. Including scientists.

Here are two more quotes from the same site:

“It is time that we admitted that faith is nothing more than the license religious people give one another to keep believing when reasons fail.” And, “The belief that there is God is based on a bunch of assumptions. We live in the age of science where there is no room for assumptions.”

For those with any spiritual awareness at all, the idea that life occurred accidentally on this planet is preposterous. It is always forwarded by materialists and atheists, people who have no understanding of the divine nature of life. And that’s OK because such do not know any better. It’s simply a limitation imposed by low awareness. As someone once said, “Never assign to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.”

Gaia was created to support life; that is its goal and purpose. Despite the efforts of humans to pollute the planet, the earth is not, after 4 billion years of evolution, going off into radical climate change that will kill off the life it has worked so hard to create the optimum conditions for. If you question people who believe in catastrophic climate change you will discover (1) they are atheists and materialists (secularists), and (2) they are uniformly motivated by fear. They will make the most irrational and outrageous statements, over and over, despite the fact that their dire predictions for the fate of humanity and the planet never come true. Unfortunately, such irrationality is part and parcel of the collective human psyche.

Looking beyond the Commonplace

So – the human race must face the memes it has created over the millennia, which are stored in what Jung called the collective unconscious. These things don’t magically go away until they are confronted and transcended. We’re seeing that now in the financial realm, as the world’s finances are essentially on the verge of meltdown. The budget situation in the US, in which the debt ceiling must be raised by September 30, is affecting all investors in the world who hold dollar-denominated securities. Exacerbating this is the potential $320 billion collapse of the huge Chinese real-estate company, Evergrande. Moreover, Janet Yellin, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, announced in September that if the US does not raise the debt ceiling again (this is like putting more debt on a massively overdrawn $29 trillion credit card), the US will begin defaulting on its debts on October 15th, and the government will have to shut down.

(Update: On September 30, Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to increase the debt ceiling until December 3rd, when the problem will have to be faced again. Nothing has been confronted, nothing has been solved, the can has just been kicked down the road.)

The world has now reached a financial denouement, which will hopefully be the precursor to a spiritual denouement.

A huge battle is now being fought in Congress, as Democrats (who control the entire government) want to “spend” $10 trillion this year – a $5.2T budget, a $1.2T “COVID relief” bill (already passed) and a further $3.5T “infrastructure” bill. (I put “spend” in scare quotes because there is no funding for a good portion of it. The Fed will simply print more money to “fund” the spending).

Where will this end? I’m hoping, in finally facing the fact that the world is in a gigantic debt bubble that must collapse. Once it does, the world will have to decide how to properly run its finances. This will, I hope, lead to a more rational financial system. The financial scare will force people to look inward and ask themselves what kind of a world they want to live in. And what kind of leaders they want to elect.

It will force people to look beyond the commonplace; to look past business as usual.

The Bad Guys Are Always the Problem

In legends and myths (and human history) it’s always “the bad guys” who cause problems. “If only we could get rid of these horrible people our system could work.”  Societal collapse is blamed on the fact that there is always, in any human group, a few percentage points of the population who are sociopaths and psychopaths. The rise and fall of civilizations is explained by “the good guys” building society up, and “the bad guys” tearing it down.

This is fallacious, I think. Societies on earth rise and fall not because there is an inveterate part of humanity that is inherently evil, but because we haven’t yet devised a rational and sustainable way of organizing our societies. If we did, this “bad guy” portion of society would disappear.

The difficulty lies with the uninspected meme structures within the human collective consciousness, most of which are based in materialist concepts that deny the true nature of the human being. Over the millennia, we have built up self-destructive memes and beliefs that have simply become accepted: It’s perfectly OK to smash others to get ahead, when someone attacks you, you have to attack them back, and on and on. These memes all have one thing in common: human-on-human violence and hatred.

The solution is not in the physical, action plane (let’s start a war or take to the streets or pound someone on social media to redress our grievances). It’s in the mental and spiritual plane. Until humanity accepts its divine origins, and begins to confront the meme structures and the negative energy and activity that comes from them, we’ll continue to see the future reflect the past.

The human race can no longer afford adolescent beliefs such as materialism and atheism, unless we want to devolve back to complete barbarism.

I don’t think that is going to happen.

People are fed up with thousands of years of low consciousness and negative energy. That’s why we’re seeing millennia of old karma being resolved. It’s in the news every day; it’s in your face.

The human race is on the path to higher consciousness. But first it must confront its dark past. The financial meltdown is just one aspect of this confrontation, but the solution is the broad recognition of mankind’s divine origin.

We’ve come as far as we can with the old meme and belief structures. What used to be thought of as “pie-in-the-sky,” woo-woo thinking is now a necessity. Spirituality and religion are the most important attributes the human race has at this time. We cannot lose them in a tidal wave of technocracy, statism, and materialism that is sweeping the planet.

The evolution of consciousness is the single most important matter on the planet right now. It is a point of departure to a new world where life is celebrated and people have the freedom to realize their full potential.
