The Great Transition

After blogging, writing and speaking about it for over a year and one half now, one thing seems clear and has been a constant in my mind: Humanity is in the midst of a Great Transition. We are in an epic struggle between fear and love, all seven billion plus of us. As Bucky Fuller once said, “We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before–that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment.”
As I had written in a recent blog post, and I have been saying for quite some time now, my own personal sense and intuition is leading me to believe that that “final moment” is coming this year – an event or events (nothing to do with the “Mayans” mind you) that will initiate the start of something so colossal that it will fundamentally change the very course of history and humanity forever.
It will be an event(s) that will change everything in the world, and finally force each and every one of us to acknowledge the massive cloak of lies we have been fed our entire lives, force us to abandon all that we have known and accepted to be true and all of the beliefs we have held as constants throughout our lives – the very fabric and essence of our reality.
And although humanity will be encapsulated in, I believe, massive levels of fear for quite some time as this event(s) unfold, whether it be months, years or longer, I strongly believe we will eventually come out of it as I intuit above and as I have said before as a humanity completely united, and for the very first time in recorded history. It will be a humanity where upon EVERY human being will finally come to the so very basic understanding and truth that we are all absolute equals to each and EVERY other human being. It will be a time where we will all stand side by side and shoulder to shoulder with each other and with every other creature on the planet, all living in magnificent harmony. Social classes, ethnic and religious differences, things like status, wealth, power, fame, competition, borders between countries and every other type of illusionary division will be but a distant memory to all of us.
War will be obsolete, the destructive and false illusion known as money will have been long abandoned, and the notion of ownership will be antiquated. The concept and drudgery of work for pay will have been replaced by the joy of “playing” together as a global community, all of us joining forces with one another to better the planet and each other’s lives. Right now we have billions of people on this planet in poverty, through no fault of their own, and therefore providing nothing tangible to the betterment of billions of other’s lives; just imagine seven billion people plus unleashed – playing in unison on this planet for the betterment of everyone else, all of us recognizing that anything we do to better our lives, betters everyone else’s lives, and anything we do to better anyone else’s life, will better ours. Once we learn to cooperate and join together, all seven billion of us, we will be soon be astounded to realize the potential, one that is staggeringly unimaginable to us today. It will be a world where the gift economy, love and trust reign supreme, one where we will come back to reunite with our true selves and our true nature – love. Gone will be antiquated systems that no longer serve humanity, those that in fact do everything today to stifle it, systems such as formal education, organized religion, industrialism, economics, politics and the like as we come to recognize that these are all no longer relevant to our survival nor to our growth as sovereign and free human beings.
It will be a future without the archaic and no longer needed professions that exist today strictly to serve this unsustainable beast called economic (monetary) growth, growth that is decimating the planet to levels almost indescribable, as well as all those that serve to uphold the centuries’ old scheme, lie and propaganda called ‘never ending fear’. Lawyers, bankers, economists, advertisers, marketers, politicians, judges, policemen, tax collectors, soldiers and the like will all disappear into the annals of history. Gone will be the formal hierarchal systems of power and government, whether they are called fascism, communism, socialism, or “democracy”. Humanity will finally fully awaken into their maturity, their brilliance that has been suppressed for so very long, and come to realize intuitively that they no longer need leaders, rulers or “elected representatives”, whether they be presidents, czars, prime ministers, senators, congressmen, or any other individual or body which claims to serve their best interest, as we will all realize that our best interests as sovereign and free human beings can only be served by ourselves and our fellow human beings – those who we recognize are all our equals.
The collective awakening of humanity will be unlike any other in the history of our existence
It will be a complete rebirth for the planet and its inhabitants, unlike none other we have ever experienced. It will come to be a world of infinite possibility and love, community, connection, cooperation, and harmony and oneness with each other and everything else in the universe. Amazingly, we will come to the astounding realization that this world has always been ours for the taking, if only we had had the courage to let go of the fear and fully embrace love.
After so many centuries, we are finally beginning to peak over the wall that has imprisoned us in this false sense of reality, awakening to realize that there is indeed a much better way and a more beautiful world for all of us
It will be magical, it will indeed be the next Golden Age for humanity, a world the beauty of which we still cannot yet imagine or put into words. But it is coming as with humanity united, there will be no stopping it. For now one might argue that it is still an “impossible dream”, but at the same time we are now moving forward towards it, and one can only wonder as to the magnificence and grandeur that awaits us all . . .
A beautiful, animated short film below called “The Invention of Love”. The animator of the film, Andrey Shushkov describes the plot as, “A young man resides in a retro futuristic city and meets a girl from the countryside. They fall in love and get married, and settle in town together. Soon she begins to realize that there is nothing natural around her. Everything is artificial and mechanical, except a reminder of a world where she was born and raised: a flower which gradually fades. And then she starts fading, too . . .” Eventually the girl dies from being completely disconnected from anything and everything natural in this man-made, completely mechanized world. In the end, and in futility, the man tries to “recreate” his beautiful princess by rebuilding her, mechanizing her like the rest of the mechanized world he lives in.
For centuries upon centuries now, man has been trying to mechanize, control, force, quantify, commodify, and codify everything, including all of nature, the natural world and the planet itself. As I had written yesterday, just look at the utter devastation, destruction and decimation this has caused to our lives and the planet itself, as we all now cling to the precipice of our very individual and collective existence.
As you watch this “animated” film, look for the stunning parallels with our own “real” world. It might just bring a few tears to your eyes. The Great Transition, as I see it, will be humanity’s collective march in the opposite direction, recreating, redeveloping, rebuilding and restoring all the nature, all the beauty that we have taken away from ourselves for eons now. It will be our journey together, hand in hand, a journey away from separation, and towards reunion and oneness with each other and everything else in the universe.
For your truly, it will be nothing less than one man’s odyssey through the romance of life, as I continue to connect with others and spread as much love and possibility as I can. To be continued, on January 1st, 2013 . . .
With love . . .
