2050 – a Look Back
Well, we did it! Yes – there were plenty of times when we thought we weren’t going to make it – when it seemed that human nature was so irredeemably selfish and brutish that we could never change. But we did – and at last we’ve made it – out of the playground and into the school of learning. But it was really tough for a while back there. The wars – the cruelty – the suffering – the pain – the hoarding of resources – the inequities in our communities…
But it seems that we had to make things as awful for ourselves as we could – so as to wake up. To wake up to the fact that we have a choice – a choice as to how we create our world, what world we want to create. And we‘ve done it!
We live now in a world of kindness, of bounty, of sharing the miraculous paradise that we’ve created. A world where we work together to solve problems, where we can trust others, and speak freely without fear of consequences, where good health is a given – albeit we still age and die. Where those who are without are supported by those who have, where no-one goes hungry or without shelter, where looking out for the other is the norm, whether sick or needy or the stranger at our gate. And now we’ve tasted the sweetness of such a life, there’ll be no turning back.
So how, you might ask, have we done this, made this evolutionary leap? What could so affect the consciousness of humankind to bring about this transformation, this change of heart both metaphorical and literal? How did we transcend the limits of the narrow self, to live with others in the knowledge that we are truly one – that we are made of the same stuff, that our atoms are held together by the same force, vibrating, resonating together. Or put differently, how did we make what a friend calls the 9-inch drop – from head to heart?
Well with the benefit of hindsight over the last quarter-century, it seems there were a bunch of different influences rather than a single event. But all reflected both a whole-hearted dissatisfaction with the status quo, and a profound desire for and belief in the possibility of transformation – rejecting a world of cruelty and greed, embracing a vision of wholeness and cohesion. You could call it a shift from Shock and Awe to Compassion, Gratitude and Awe.
Managing Conflict
Given increasing polarisation of viewpoints on just about everything, it became critical to find effective ways to manage disputes and conflicts. Strangely it was the courts that drove the change to using dialogue to resolve conflict. The finite resources of civil and criminal justice systems had met the infinite demand of disputes and conflict, and legal systems were collapsing. Civil cases cost a fortune and took forever, criminal cases were prosecuted haphazardly, if at all.
The courts began to promote mediation as a way to reduce delay and backlog and cost. It felt like the fruiting of the work from the mid-nineties when I’d joined others to promote ADR and train mediators. Inspired by a belief in the value of empowering people to resolve their differences themselves, I trained hundreds of the thousands who learned mediation skills. Now justice systems world-wide were sending more and more disputes to mediation to clear backlogs, and even mandating what had previously been a voluntary process. Happily most parties in mediations still found it a quicker, cheaper and even fairer way to resolve their conflicts.
Criminal cases before or after sentence were integrated with restorative justice processes, and appropriate cases were increasingly diverted to RJ from the court system. Facilitated meetings between victims and offenders led to significant benefits – as the research in the 2010’s showed while I was chairing the Restorative Justice Council. Victims who participated in RJ processes had far greater satisfaction than with the criminal justice process, and many experienced a reduction in fear and stress, and a sense of closure. Rates of recidivism among offenders were significantly reduced.
As we became more familiar with these approaches to resolving conflict it became easier to apply them in larger scale disputes. Huge public pressure challenged the old adversarial ways of resolving differences. At the same time the mindset of those driving the conflicts was beginning to change. Leaders were now widely expected to deliver negotiated resolutions. So whether they were in national conflicts, international disputes, pre-conflict zones, even outright war – the individuals behind them (mostly men) became more susceptible to negotiated settlements, particularly when facilitated by a third-party neutral. That’s of course what led to the Gaza Accord and the Two State Solution.
Thus when our inevitable differences with others arose, it became normal to engage with them – in a facilitated safe setting – to talk through what had happened, how we felt about it, and what could be done to put it right. Such meetings became commonplace as a way of resolving differences. Restorative schools sprang up, where education included space for the kids to listen to each other, and be heard, and learn empathy for others – and themselves.
We were also becoming familiar with ways of communicating that didn’t involve doing harm to others. Finding ways to communicate with others using ‘clean’ language was unfamiliar at first. But practice in articulating our feelings and needs and making requests of others, became second nature, reinforced by the positive ways that others responded. It led people to be more accepting of others, and themselves.
I could see that the seeds of this profound behavioural change were sown by Marshall Rosenberg in developing Nonviolent Communication back in the 80’s and 90’s, and I was proud of the role I’d played back then in introducing him to a wider public, and being able to train others in his method.
So this new language, and having effective ways to manage the natural differences that we had, began to foster a new atmosphere – where listening to others and working with them to meet challenges became the norm. In this new atmosphere, this new vibe, it became possible to talk freely to one another without fear, and without the aggressions that came from fear. Gradually people no longer felt the need to defend themselves with cynicism and judgment of others. Peace broke out.
Participatory Democracy
Aided by the movement away from an adversarial legal system, the age-old structures of government began to evolve into something more fluid, engaging with communities and with one another in a more collaborative way. Although she only agreed to serve as Prime Minister for a maximum four years, our new leader changed the tone and structure of politics and introduced the Feminine principle into the process of government.
The adversarial process of party politics began to be seen as a colossal waste of energy, when there were obviously better ways of working to solve the complex problems we faced. The advent and spread of the Citizens’ Assemblies showed the way – where groups of us could feed into the political process, in fact communicate directly with elected politicians.
The founding of the CPS Party was a milestone. You could join the Cooperative Problem Solving Party whatever your political stripe or hue, as long as you subscribed to its common purpose – to collaborate together to address the particular challenges we faced, to find pragmatic solutions based on understanding rather than driven by dogma.
The CPS set up Working Groups among the politicians which gradually became more and more the way ‘Government’ was done. Collaboration by elected politicians with communities, assemblies and diverse groups to reach decisions about actions became the order of the day.
Power of Collaboration
Another shift in thinking grew among those of us who had been yearning and working for change in our own small corners. We started to collaborate with other individuals and organisations of like mind. Groups of good-hearted people who had been working in charities and NGO’s discovered that joining in larger groups enhanced the power of the collective. Not only did collective action strengthen and fortify practical initiatives, but our voices for change were louder, clearer and had more influence on policy.
More and more of us turned to partnerships and working together to further our determination to escape the collective pain of war and conflict. We discovered that when enough people came together to support peace-building initiatives they reached a critical mass and had a profound influence on political values and direction.
An example of the effect of this networking was the work of Search for Common Ground, the international peace-building organisation that I’d been involved in with for ten years. Their methodologies and experience in ending violent conflict was magnified exponentially when they formed alliances with other NGO’s in the field. This peace-keeping collective was able to extend its activities and its technologies to trouble spots all over the world. And this whole collaborative movement was rocket propelled by the use of AI – to seek out potential partner organisations, harmonise with them and develop strategies for effective joint action.
There were many other examples where networking made individual initiatives more effective than the sum of their parts, where collective action transformed effectiveness. For example the Global Water Partnership, a global action network developing an integrated approach to managing that increasingly precious resource, water. It was able to mobilise government, civil society, and the commercial sector in 180 countries to engage with each other to solve water problems.
Another example was ethical investing. It became more than an aspiration that investing could be socially responsible, whether the funds were Environmental Social and Governance, impact or faith-based. Ethical investment became not just worthy -but a societal norm for everyone from individual shareholders to institutions. The old-school approach of ’invest for maximum profit’ or ‘win as much as you can’, was seen for what it was – selfish, greedy and ignorant of social context.
These changing attitudes went hand in hand with government requirements that businesses’ accounts record their Triple Bottom Line i.e. not only financial profit, but also their social and environmental costs, or put simply, accounting for Profit, People and the Planet. Shareholder activism used the power of investment – and divestment – to help drive the implementation of sustainable business practices.
The proposal that maximum individual wealth be limited to $25 million met a strong reaction and a great deal of resistance. Eventually the limit was agreed at $50 million. Any amounts accumulated over this became public wealth, or could be donated to a charity of choice. At the same time a Universal Basic Income was introduced so that all would receive enough to survive, and no-one need be without the basics of food shelter and warmth.
Resistance
However as we quickly realised those who were invested in the status quo weren’t willing to go quietly. These vested interests, from those who were invested in a socio-economic model that was principally for the benefit of the few, were one of the biggest obstacles to change. The resistance was principally from what Eisenhower called the ‘military-industrial complex’ – the soi-disant defence industry and those who profited from it, and the chemical industry, particularly petro-chemical and pharmaceutical. We couldn’t conceive back then how it could be possible to prise loose the steely grip of capitalism.
And there were plenty of other vested interests, of dictators and demagogues, who were intent on clinging on to power and riches, in fact obsessed with it. It turned out however that at the heart of it all they were still human beings – and therefore vulnerable, and haunted by the fragility of life.
Initially there was no single moment when their thinking changed, rather an incremental change over time. Because they were not immune from the pressure of public opinion, not to mention those around them such as partners, lovers, children, friends. And the changing awareness that had a major influence on them included the gradual yet irresistible transformative effects of plant medicine.
Plant medicine
The use of plant medicine – although not openly acknowledged until recently – was another major driver for change. By the 2020’s research had established the beneficial effects of psychedelics such as psilocybin on those with anxiety and depression, or suffering from PTSD, also for the terminally ill. Licensed work with other hallucinogens like MDMA, LSD, ketamine was carried out, with similar positive results. The mainstream view about the value of these psycho-active substances and the changes in consciousness that they facilitated was shifting.
At the same time more and more people were using these substances in an everyday context. Some for recreational purposes, many more using mushrooms and ayahuasca as a kind of sacrament, as an aid to greater awareness, to experience non-ordinary states, to have understanding of themselves and others and their place in the universe. Indeed churches were formed in which the sacrament was the mushroom.
A growing number of us undertook these healing journeys, and an interconnection grew between us – like a human mycelial network. The collective mind was inevitably changed by these experiences, by the recognition of a vastly wider universe than we had been aware of, both around us and within us. We had new-found respect for others, and the natural world. It became increasingly unthinkable that we would harm others for the simple reason that we were harming ourselves. And this consciousness generalised out into all living organisms.
Initially it was the leaders of tech corporations who explored these non-ordinary states, then – sometimes under the flag of leadership training – it was taken up by captains of industry and commerce, then thought leaders in multiple fields. The thinking and attitudes of those who ran these different institutions and corporations were as susceptible as the rest of us to this new and more harmonious world that was unfolding.
The natural world
The natural world became more respected and honoured. We became more aware of our place in it as we experienced the subtle energies of the world around us. So it was inevitable that the way that we treated our environment changed. At the same time so many of the initiatives that I and others had worked for from the 2000’s began to bear fruit. The movements for the Rights of Nature, against Ecocide, to promote Environmental Restorative Justice all bore fruit.
The notion that natural features might be afforded the protection of the law as legal entities took a while to catch on. But isolated cases in India, New Zeeland and South America turned into a popular movement as communities got that they could use the law to protect their environment. At the same time our efforts with the EU to adopt an Ecocide (Prevention) Act finally succeeded, and the law came into effect first in the EU, then the UN and then jurisdictions all over the world. The law of Ecocide meant that those causing long-term or widespread harm to the environment faced prosecution and personal criminal liability.
And Environmental Restorative Justice – which we had developed in the ‘20’s in our working group at the European Forum for Restorative Justice – became part and parcel of the justice system, and beyond. Those who harmed the environment were given the opportunity to meet the victims and find ways together to repair the harm. Then it became commonplace in any environmental issues for all stakeholders – including both human and natural parties – to have restorative meetings or stakeholder dialogues to find ways mutually to address the issues.
Our relationship to the natural world was transformed. We began to experience more fully our interconnectedness with ‘nature’, the biosphere, Gaia. We could no longer ignore our interdependence with the natural world and we started actively seeking ways to nurture and coexist with all living beings – at least those that still survived our despoliation of the Planet.
In due course and under immense public pressure, extraction industries slowed their activities, and then ground to a halt. Extensive programmes were initiated to retrain those who lost their jobs, to enable them to work in the new sustainable energy field.
The effect on the environment was astonishing – air became cleaner, water drinkable, food more life-enhancing. We were heartened by Nature’s ability to regenerate itself when we lived in harmony with it.
And with the detoxification of our air and waterways and soil came greater health, improvements in our immune system, more robust organisms. Mental health improved dramatically and we could see how much aberrant behaviour had been caused by poisoning. The microparticles and chemicals that had made their way into our soil and water and air had been having a toxic effect on us, some worse than others.
More and more of us became sensitive to natural ways of healing, much to the consternation of pharma businesses and medical associations. But as the critical mass grew, manufacturers had to bow to market forces and accept what they themselves were beginning to understand – that people’s wellbeing came before profit.
The wisdom of indigenous peoples was revived and honoured. The ‘complementary therapies’ as we called them back then, were acknowledged for the healing they offered, and adopted. Many therapies that had been debunked in earlier times, such as homeopathy and acupuncture, were now seen as fundamental to people’s wellbeing.
Ancient ways of healing were rediscovered with hands-on and remote energy work, the use of sound, of colour and intention in healing. The healing powers of nature, of other creatures, of the mineral world were recognised as real. Nutrition played a big part too, aiming for foods that were healthy and life-giving. To maintain wellness preventative health care became the order of the day, alongside symptomatic treatment when dis-ease struck.
And our overall health responded. As we took more responsibility for our own health, the strain on health systems everywhere eased. In fact when nutrition became part of medical school training, we knew a corner had been turned. At the same time a major contribution to the cost of these slimmed-down national health systems was the simultaneous decriminalisation of cannabis, and the imposition of a 20% Value Added Tax on all transactions related to it.
Crop Circles – cosmic doodles?
We all knew about UFO’s. Their existence had long been debunked in line with governments’ attitudes, most of whom denied the existence of UFO’s. However reports of sightings had increased, especially since the beginning of the atomic era. With the coming of the age of the Internet, the cell-phone and social media, sightings – and mass sightings – were reported more and more widely.
And then governments had started to drip-feed us information that there were Unexplained Arial Phenomena (that’s UAP’s not UFO’s) that by definition they couldn’t explain. The military started by not-denying some reports of UFO sightings. Then acknowledging they had their own (modestly funded) UFO research programme. Then even publishing their own images of UAP’s/UFO’s.
Millions more were having their own first-hand experiences of UFO’s. By the 2010’s a majority of people believed in their existence – whether extra-terrestrial, extra-dimensional, or us time-travelling from the future. Somehow without quite knowing it, we were getting used to the idea that we aren’t alone, and that there are other intelligences, for good or ill, with whom we share this Universe.
In parallel came the extraordinary re-discovery of crop circles. They’d been known about for years, the occasional image popping up on a screen then forgotten. Many had a vague recollection of a pair of hoaxers, Doug and Dave, who said they’d been making the circles with a plank and two ropes. Even though their story raised some problems (e.g. complex circles appearing overnight without sound or light, two or more circles appearing on the same night, or in different countries across the globe) it was an easy explanation to dismiss an otherwise unimaginable phenomenon.
Some of us however looked deeper into it and realised that these designs – now way more complex than circles – were geometrically precise, mathematically sophisticated, harmonious, creative and playful works of art. Articles appeared in academic journals and then mainstream media.
Public debate about crop circles was vocal enough that a three-part TV series was commissioned to explore the phenomenon. David Attenborough agreed to present it. It showed that the force(s) that created the designs didn’t crush the stems of the crop or break them with direct pressure, but bent them so they lay in patterns, and continued to grow. It highlighted the mathematical genius that underlay their symmetry.
Attenborough stated that “the precision of the designs can only have been produced by a highly advanced technology that can instantaneously and gently create a design in the crops.” He concluded: “Seeing these designs not just one at a time but one after another, each more breathtakingly complex and exuberant than the one before, is living evidence of the voice and hand of other intelligences.”
That TV programme galvanised the viewing public and beyond. It awakened a widespread realisation of the significance of whoever or whatever were the makers of the circles. More and more people were driven to the realisation that we really are Not Alone. The understanding of the enormity of this phenomenon spread, helped by social media and the endorsement of celebrities and influencers with millions of followers. The classic videos made by ‘croppies’, like “What on Earth?” by the wonderful Suzanne Taylor, were picked up and went viral.
Who ‘the makers’ were was hotly debated – obviously extra-terrestrial, said some. Others pointed out that with their ability to appear and disappear they were probably from other dimensions. Some took the view that they were angelic messengers from a Divine Being. Some likened them to the sky-gods of just about every ancient culture, that communicated with humankind and passed on wisdom and technologies.
While that debate continued, it was clear to all that whoever had the power and technology to make these designs so precisely, swiftly and silently, was beyond anything we could imagine. And the ‘makers’ – whether he/she/it/them – were interested in getting our attention – which at last they had.
Even the armed forces were eventually driven to declare on behalf of their governments:
an acknowledgment that we are not alone
an amnesty for all the lies told in trying to conceal that fact from the public
acceptance that military control of our airspace was an illusion
recognition that ‘they’ could have destroyed us by now if they wanted
understanding that we needed to negotiate with them
These admissions by the authorities sent shock waves through the world. They had a particular impact on those with their hands on the levers of power. Some simply rejected any story that involved ET’s and little green men, and saw those who believed it as dupes. Meanwhile it was business as usual.
Others recognised the intelligence and technological mastery behind the circles but perceived it as a danger. They recognised a power potentially greater than theirs, that armed force was not able to defeat, and that it threatened their control of affairs.
Just as President Reagan had observed to the UN in 1987 (as he had to Gorbachev in 1985) “…we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”
Those who saw the ‘makers’ as a threat found themselves seeking alliances with former enemies to unite against this common threat. In the face of the existential threat, the energy and resources for local wars subsided, as new partnerships were rapidly formed. The internecine conflagrations of the world subsided as if a sprinkler system had been turned on.
And for the rest of us? We thought this was a wonderful, indeed miraculous turn of events, that the wider public was finally able to recognise the existence of these intelligences. We couldn’t wait to get onto the next stage.
Communication
Which was to begin communicating with them. There were of course official groups set up to open up a dialogue with the circle-makers. But they spent much time discussing who should represent us, how, where, when, and with what purpose.
A few of us set up informal groups. At first the membership was mainly intuitives and empaths, then others with different skills. Those trained in inter-species communication, as I had been by Anna Breitenbach, were very much at home. Once each group met, we would put ourselves in a receptive state, invite communication, and then listen – for whatever came, in whatever form.
Meanwhile new informal groups were springing up all over. It became important to find correspondences between the ‘messages’ the different groups received. So we standardised a set of questions, a sort of protocol, that each group could ask. We then pooled the answers looking in particular for any correspondences. We observed an uncanny consistency between what each group ‘heard’ that gave the messages a power and authenticity.
We started to pass the messages and information through the Citizen’s Assemblies to the politicians and business leaders, who largely accepted it as ‘wise counsel’. All but the most intransigent started to sit up and listen. But it was all eclipsed by that one message that came through with such force and clarity that it transfixed us all.
The Message
One day the same lengthy message was received by most of the members of most of the groups. It came with a title: “Change the World”. In fact it repeated verbatim a 2003 message that Jean Ederman said he received intuitively in communication with benevolent extra-terrestrials. The key passages blew open our psyches:
“…It is not our responsibility to modify your future without your choosing it. So consider this message as a worldwide referendum, and your answer as a ballot…
Like most of you, we are in quest of the Supreme “Being” or “State of Being.”
Therefore we are not gods or lesser gods but virtually your equals in the Cosmic Brotherhood.
Physically we are somewhat different from you but most of us are humanoid-shaped.
We are not mere observations; we are consciousnesses just like you. Our existence is a reality, but the majority of you do not perceive it yet because we remain invisible to your senses and instruments most of the time.
We wish to fill this void at this moment in your history. We made this collective decision on our side, but this is not enough — we need yours as well. Through this message you can become the decision-makers. You, personally. We have no human representative on Earth who could guide your decision…
…humankind’s entrance into the family of galactic civilizations is greatly expected.
We can appear in broad daylight to help you attain this union, but we have not done it so far, as too few of you have genuinely desired it because of ignorance, indifference or fear, and because the urgency of the situation did not justify it…
There are several billion of you, but the education of your children and your living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant life are under the thumb of a small number of your political, financial, military and religious representatives. Your thoughts and beliefs are modeled after partisan interests while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in total control of your destiny — which in essence is the reality, but there is a long way between a wish and a fact when the true rules of the game at hand are kept hidden…
A great roller wave is on the horizon. It entails very positive but also very negative potentials. At this time wonderful opportunities of progress stand side by side with threats of destruction.
However, you can only perceive what is being shown to you. The diminishing of many natural resources is inevitable and no long-term collective remediation project has been launched. Ecosystem exhaustion mechanisms have exceeded irreversible limits.
The scarcity of resources whose entry price will rise day after day — and their unfair distribution — will bring about fratricidal fights on a large scale, from the hearts of your cities to your countrysides. This is the reason why, more than ever in your history, your decisions of today will directly and significantly impact your survival tomorrow.
Hatred grows… but so does love. That is what keeps you confident in your ability to find solutions…
There are two ways to establish a cosmic contact with another civilization: via its standing representatives or directly with ordinary individuals.
The first way entails fights of interests, the second way brings awareness. The first way was chosen by a group of races motivated by keeping mankind in slavery, thereby controlling Earth’s resources, its gene pool, and the mass of human emotional energy.
The second way was chosen by a group of races allied with the cause of the Spirit of Service. Some years ago we did introduce ourselves to representatives of the human power structure, but they refused our outstretched hand on the basis of interests that were incompatible with their strategic vision.
That is why today individuals are to make this choice by themselves without any representatives interfering. What we proposed in the past to those whom we believed were in a capacity to contribute to your happiness, we propose now — to you…
We can offer you a more holistic vision of the universe and of life, constructive interactions, the experience of fair and fraternal relationships, liberating technical knowledge, eradication of suffering, controlled exercise of individual powers, access to new forms of energy and, finally, a better comprehension of consciousness.
We cannot help you overcome your individual and collective fears, or bring you laws that you would not have chosen. You must also work on your own selves, apply individual and collective efforts to build the world you desire, and manifest the spirit to quest for new skies.
What would we receive?
Should you decide that such a contact take place, we would rejoice over the safeguarding of fraternal equilibrium in this region of the universe, fruitful diplomatic exchanges, and the intense Joy of knowing that you are united to accomplish what you are capable of.
The feeling of Joy is strongly sought in the universe, for its energy is divine. What is the question we ask you? “DO YOU WISH THAT WE SHOW UP?”
How can you answer this question? The truth of soul can be read telepathically, so you only need to clearly ask yourself this question and give your answer as clearly, on your own or in a group, as you wish.
Being in the heart of a city or in the middle of a desert does not impact the efficiency of your answer. YES or NO.
Just do it as if you were speaking to yourself but thinking about the message. This is a universal question, and these mere few words, put in their context, have a powerful meaning.
This is why you should calmly think about it, in all conscience. In order to perfectly associate your answer with the question, it is recommended that you answer after another careful reading of this message.
Do not rush to answer. Breathe and let all the power of your own free will penetrate you. Be proud of what you are! Then do not let hesitation get in the way….
For us, the immediate consequence of a collective favorable decision would be the materialization of many ships, in your sky and on Earth.
For you, the direct effect would be the rapid abandoning of many certitudes and beliefs. A simple conclusive visual contact would have huge repercussions for your future. Much knowledge would be modified forever. The organization of your societies would be deeply upheaved forever, in all fields of activity.
Power would become individual because you would see for yourself that we exist as living beings, not accepting or rejecting that fact on the word of any external authority. Concretely, you would change the scale of your values.
The most important thing for us is that humankind would form a single family before this “unknown” we would represent!”
And that’s what happened. It was the tipping point. The message was received by many different groups in many different places, each in their own language. It travelled around the world at the speed of light and reached just about everyone. We – the family of man – did treat it as a ballot as they suggested. And our overwhelming answer was a unanimous “YES”.
And in response to this ‘collective favourable decision’ they did just as they had proposed. Both in the sky and on the ground there followed materialisations of many craft. Among those who witnessed them were many of those leaders who had been resistant to change. When each personally experienced that ‘simple conclusive visual contact’ it was as if a collective fuse was blown. Their construct of reality had to expand to accommodate the existence of intelligences from beyond this world – a ‘rapid abandoning of many certitudes and beliefs’ indeed.
In the dialogues that followed the makers did offer us, as they had said, “a more holistic vision of the universe and of life, constructive interactions, the experience of fair and fraternal relationships, liberating technical knowledge, eradication of suffering, controlled exercise of individual powers, access to new forms of energy and, finally, a better comprehension of consciousness.”
For all of us – including our political, financial, military and religious representatives -the effect was a seismic shift in awareness and consequently behaviour. Those who organised our societies looked for ways to manage our affairs that were harmonious with the needs of the people and the planet. A new optimism was born, an openness to what our world had to offer.
New Energy
The coup de grace for the petro-chemical industry – and effectively the death knell for the old economy – came in the 2030’s with the New Energy.
Research into the designs of the crop circles was revealing deep sources of information encoded in them. Some detailed answers to long-standing geometric puzzles. Some had messages apparently for us in binary code, And some had the basic information which once decoded gave the building blocks to harness free sustainable energy – the new forms of energy that had been promised as part of the deal.
Synchronistically one individual, eschewing fame and especially fortune, published on-line his rediscovery of torus field energy using the earth’s donut-shaped electromagnetic energy field. Crucially, he shared how to implement it in low-tech ways. A number of inventors including the mighty Nikolai Tesla, had said they were developing alternative sources of clean energy, but they did not flourish.
But this new technology was open-source and – as we all now take pretty much for granted – enabled everyone to have access to free and sustainable energy as they needed. No one on the planet had to pay for energy for whatever purpose they needed (and what they did with it is another story…). The need and the use of fossil fuels and indeed nuclear energy became less and less relevant – in fact how could we have thought of using that poisonous stuff?
And the economic systems and conflicts based around control of resources started to crumble, to wither on the vine. We were at last free from the straitjacket of consumerism – free of the death-cycle of infinite growth and finite resources – and able to arrange our lives in a way that is sustainable, nourishing and life-enhancing.
