Uncertainty And Anxiety

We will soon be moving into the more meaningful part of the twenty-first century. During these first few years of this century we have been living for the most part according to the values, beliefs and mind set of the previous century and in fact we haven’t yet entered into the era for which the twenty-first century will be known.
The next 15-20 years will be a transition period which will include major changes profoundly affecting every country, every segment of society and every individual on the planet. These changes, taking place on multiple levels and representing a major shift will be the most important event that has ever happened on our planet.
This may seem like a bold statement to some, but the full import of societal change isn’t often recognized by a changing society before or even during the transition, but only years after it has taken place. This is especially true for those who fear change and cling to the past. But for those forward thinking individuals, who are not bound by consensus reality, the conscious awareness of this dawning period of history has already begun to form.
During this time of change we will be moving from a consumer society in which dependence on limited resources will shift to a sustainable society in which we’ll make greater use of renewable, non-polluting resources such as wind, solar and bio-fuels. New more appropriate sources of energy will be discovered and developed along with more efficient methods of storing energy. We’ll also be using energy more efficiently, recycling more and creating more products that are bio-degradable.
The human population will stop growing and we’ll focus more attention on making sure everyone on the planet has adequate food, shelter, education, health care and a feeling of purpose.
With a stable population that is properly fed, educated and healthy and making use of sustainable sources of energy, the motivation for war between countries and factions will be greatly reduced and could even be eliminated completely. Continued advancements in technology will enable us to effectively deal with any challenge that might arise. The world will change from a mind set in which the future of human life is a worrisome and questionable proposition to one in which our continued existence for untold centuries is assured.
Living in a world such as this, free of strife and connected with everyone on the planet in a kind and compassionate way will have a profound effect on everyone’s values, beliefs, and philosophy. Our focus will be redirected making possible a much deeper understanding of the nature of life, of our potentials and what it means to be a human being. The evolution of human consciousness will accelerate and we’ll enter a period that is such a great improvement over what we currently experience that it’s not possible to fully comprehend.
This of course is a very desirable future, but to get there, we must successfully navigate the transition period – the next 15-20 years. During the transition, the old system will be upset, begin breaking down and become unusable at the same time that new methods will come into use. This creates the possibility of strife and suffering as people cling to the old ways and lack the foresight and compassion to create a smoother transition. We are already seeing this as the cost of food, gasoline, clothing and all of our basic necessities are going up all over the world. Upheavals in financial markets followed by massive fixes are adding to economic uncertainty. This is forcing people to change priorities and focus more on basic necessities. Changing conditions such as this will most likely be a part of life until the world completes the transition period.
