The Real New World Arises: Are You Ready?

The times, they are a changin’.

We are living in the final stage of industrial civilization. This phase of the human explosion began in (ironically) the Age of Enlightenment. And with its death, so will the philosophy of European enlightenment also die.

This age is predicated on two things. Plentiful cheap labor and plentiful cheap energy. People eager for industrial slavery will always be available, but cheap energy won’t. This is the key lynchpin upon which the whole edifice rests. This will disappear and it will disappear sooner than most of us like to think. This is the end. The curtain is closing.

Are you ready for the Age of Turbulence that rises now just beyond the visible horizon? Most of you are not.

Are you ready for the utter chaos that now dawns? The time of wrenching change is very near.

My hope is this: I hope that people awaken from the nightmare of the endless need to achieve. I hope that people see first the wonderfulness with which we are born. I hope that people will be embarrassed by dreams of inequality, that I need to have more than you, that I am better than you, that I must serve you.

A whole new generation of liberated human beings must arise from the wreckage of this age. These are the little babies who ask only one thing: to be loved for who they are and not as we would want and need them to be. It is they who must be seen as sacred. This is how we are to prepare for this truly new world

We must liberate ourselves from all inequalities. We must love ourselves as our brothers and sisters. We must reject as ugly that which separates, that which says I know better than you.

There is only one thing to know and that is that the earth is sacred. It is the great uniter. It is the only democracy.

All ugly things arise from a belief in our own innate inadequacy. From this single belief is born power hunger, rage, separation, hideous divisions, slavery, and the disgusting excesses of the society’s masters.

Babies must be loved for their integral uniqueness. Let the young take the path that sparks their imagination. Let them be loved utterly for what makes THEM feel most alive. We must learn to bow before the young instead of forcing their heads into the dirt of obedience and have them bow to their elders.

Only then will elders be truly loved.
