AI and the better angels of our humanity

By Cissy Hu

Sue – I really appreciate all the work you do to inspire big conversations around how we can collectively save our planet and humanity. Thank you for all you’re doing!

–

It’s January 1, 2050. We’ve saved humanity and as a result, we’ve saved the world.

This story begins in the 2020s, the decade when the AI revolution first took flight, heralding in an era of optimism for the future.

Many of our most brilliant minds were focused on advancing AI to align with human values and ushering in the promises of new industries and job opportunities, a leap in human longevity, and a clear path towards solving climate change.

With the dawn of a new AI-powered reality, an equally damming future loomed — one where runaway AI became misaligned with humanity. We saw Misalignment Museums pop up around the globe, warning us of the perils in the form of sobering tributes from AI to humans that read Sorry for killing most of humanity.

“Trend carefully on the way to the promise land,” these museums cautioned.

And yet, the real undercurrent of danger was rarely spoken of among the AI community: aligning AI with humanity’s intended goals assumed that we had the right goals in mind. In the century following the Industrial Revolution, we saw a significant shift in societal values, prioritizing economic growth and technological advancement above all else. Rather than focus on the long-term well-being of our civilization, we were rewarded for short-term gain and wealth accumulation.

The reality was that the goals that AI was being aligned to did not universally benefit humanity — most of all, not our collective psychological well-being. While we’d raised the baseline for our material worlds, our inner worlds were more dysregulated than ever. Without a realignment in humanity’s true values, we were on a fast train headed towards a new world order that would enslave humans to AI.

Psychology up until then had focused on curing the pathologies of anxiety and depression, attempting to move us from -1 to 0. While this work was absolutely critical, we spent little time considering what happened once we reached 0. It was not enough to simply pursue arriving at baseline — what about moving from -1 to 1? That path was going to look entirely different. Reducing suffering was just the first step of raising the bar for our existence.

The bleak truth was that as we edged towards the birth of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), we found ourselves devolving into mass disembodiment, struggling to even make our way to baseline. We traded our humanity for professionalism, tying our identities to our productivity levels and dissociating from our purest ambitions in exchange for high status promotions and salary raises. “Just one more promotion and raise until I’ve made it,” we told ourselves as we developed email apnea, computer vision syndrome, and tech neck. Our bodies were keeping the score, fighting bouts of chronic illness as we competed in games that didn’t serve our flourishing.

—

Up against a world that had become exceedingly out of touch with our human nature, I convened a group of dreamers, writers, builders, and educators to reimagine what human flourishing in the 21st century would look like — first by seeking collaborators through my Substack, More Myself. We got to work on breathing life into a future for humanity and the advancement of becoming more human and psychologically resilient. We strove to save humanity from itself by finding our way back to ourselves, enlisting AI to help.

We knew that building this world started from within. The first step was reducing human suffering by leveraging the help of AI to make inner work more accessible than it had been in the old paradigm, programing AI to help deprogram ourselves.

In the early days, we used emotional work tools like Thyself, Refract, and Hidden Premise Finder to get back in touch with ourselves. We knew that by doing “the work,” we would reconnect with freer versions of ourselves after a lifetime of getting caught up in the same rat race that society ran on.

With the help of AI emotional guides, we began resolving inner conflict that plagued us and started transitioning our ambition fuel sources from dirty fuel (a lack of worthiness and a desire to prove ourselves to stoke our ego) to clean fuel (an alignment of our ego, soul, and will).

We found that when we operated from a place of baseline worthiness and enoughness, we had the capacity to tap into our most genuine desires and become far more ambitious than ever before, betting on ourselves to be the ones to save humanity rather than tie ourselves to more prestigious and high earning jobs in the short term.

With our commitment and focus to redefining human flourishing in the 21st century, we wrote, organized, educated and led a movement from the ground up. We educated people on why reconnecting with our intuition was so critical to our well-being and ultimately saving the world. We organized movements like tech sabbaths to remedy the polarization brought about by Web 2, championed a resurgence of town square gatherings by bringing communities and neighbors together in person, partnered with companies that were bringing the conversation around prioritizing our metabolic health to the forefront, and created reference points for what more intentional living looked like in modern day. All of this made possible as we freed up our most precious resource, time, by outsourcing non-essential tasks to AI, enabling us to scale our small and ambitious team to lead a collective awakening.

Grassroots change emerged as narratives were rewritten — it rose upward grabbing the attention of people in power. As we-the-people became more deeply in tune with the world we could live in, we demanded sweeping changes from our leaders, starting with their psychological well-being.

It had become abundantly clear the leaders that held high offices at the national and global level made economic and political decisions that caused immense suffering, all driven by their egos and a lack of attunement to our collective well-being.

While historically, there was no physical or psychological fitness test administered to high ranking officials and Commander in Chiefs, we-the-people demanded higher standards for our leaders and implemented requirements for baseline introspection work for those who held the fate of our lives and humanity in the palm of their hands. Rather than voting in politicians for their party affiliation, we began to vote for those who had the interest of humanity at the top of their agenda.

—

As leaders across the world turned inward, they realized just how much suffering their rhetoric and policies had caused, vowing to use their power for more collaborative partnerships across the aisle in their respective countries and with other world leaders. Their efforts in transitioning their ambition sources to clean fuel led to positive sum polices and programs at the planetary level.

As this work happened, a new reality emerged in the 2030s: without cooperative efforts across the world, AI would rise to the top of a new world order — it was only a matter of time. The fate of humanity hung in the balance. Rather than continue to strive towards world dominance, our world leaders united around enacting policies that put our planet and humanity above individual countries thriving at the expense of others.

In the end, all it took was being on the brink of extinction caused by the very thing we had created. With unified world leadership and collaborative efforts in transforming AI to work for humanity, Misalignment Museums became relics of the past.

And there you have it. We saved the world by first saving ourselves.

Future of Public Health

By Heather Buesseler

Step into the year 2050! We are in the CDC Headquarters in Atlanta. The global public health profession has gone through tremendous transformation, and we have a lot to celebrate!

We’ve achieved drastic improvements in health outcomes across all populations and geographies. We have eradicated all known childhood and tropical illnesses including polio, malaria, among others. We’ve found the cure for most challenging health conditions such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes.

We are a holistically healthier and flourishing global community. This means we are well in our minds, bodies, and souls. Public health work is seen as a public value and professionals are generously compensated for their service to the world.

Public Health Workforce

The public health workforce is representative of the communities it serves, and public health leadership represents the broader public health workforce. Public health professionals’ primary focus is on creating environments that promote equity within and across communities as primary intervention for disease prevention.

We have cultivated empathetic skills and inclusive values to honor and respect the breadth of cultures, attitudes, and beliefs that all public health professionals and communities bring to public health work. We deeply value these differences as critical to co-creating effective and timely solutions to new and persistent public health challenges.

Additionally, compassion and relationality are held as primary values in the field of public health, and investing in people and relationships is prioritized over process-driven workloads. Spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health are all seen as linked, interwoven, and necessary for creating conditions of well-being and human flourishing, both for communities and public health professionals. Public health professionals clearly see how their own inner work and healing is connected to and drives (or doesn’t) the healing we are trying to create in the world. Public health professionals are not asked nor silently expected to sacrifice their own well-being to create conditions of health and well-being for others.

Public Health Structures

Communities are living in racial, economic, and political harmony. Public health has been decentralized–there is much greater community responsibility and local councils and committees are responsible for highly localized public health governance and design.

The identification/prioritization of public health issues and implementation of public health initiatives are led by members of the communities where the work is needed. Public health problems are analyzed and solutions co-designed in community. Local councils and committees are comprised of the races, ages, and lived experiences present in the community. They set the metrics for success and measure them, calling in support as they feel they need it.

The sub-disciplines in public health are no longer siloed–we realize that we can only achieve public health wins if we go collectively, and we have found ways of working across disciplines to facilitate this. Climate science and public health are interwoven disciplines. Effective global coordination structures exist to respond to emergencies and outbreaks, and there is much greater public trust in government and its leadership to prevent and respond to future epidemics as a result of systemic change in community engagement, outbreak and surveillance management, and cross-sector coordination.

Lived experience is as important as cognitive and numerical ways of understanding public health issues. All research is carried out using mixed methods design with integrated and meaningful community participation throughout. Ancestral wisdom is valued and called upon. We are now walking the walk on community-based participatory research.

State of the World

The radical transformation in the ways public health is organized, its values and the way it is valued as a discipline, and the ways it carries out its work has achieved drastic improvements in health outcomes across all communities and geographies. Everyone has free access to comprehensive health care and has the tools, means, and abilities to access it.

Previously marginalized peoples enjoy full rights, autonomy, safety and security, and they are valued for the diversity they bring to the world. This includes women, indigenous communities, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people living with disabilities. Men are free to be their full selves and free from the harmful socialization that enslaves them to be emotionally disconnected.

This journey is not over! We have better outcomes for things we know about. We now have a system that is prepared to respond to the diseases and public health needs of the future in more resonant, effective ways for local communities.

We, the Writers of Substack, United

By cuca esteves

Summary:

We, the writers of Substack, united, spread the word: Revolution! Through all the corners of the internet. Trump won the elections in the US in November 2024. That was the catalyst that got all of us together. From his hate we got courage. I use WE. There is no I here. Only together we can pull it off. My small part on it was to listen to all sides, connect North and South, open dialogue for understanding.

 

***

Trump won the elections in November 2024 and became the dictator he promised during his campaign that he will be. He quit the NATO, helped Israel “evacuate” the Palestinians away, told Putin to go ahead with invading Ukraine, Georgia, and whichever other European country he would like, and when he got to Poland, people finally woke up. But they didn’t wake up because they cared about the Polish people or anyone else, but because hunger spread, governments put all their money on weapons, on war, and social help, health care, education, everything that was for the people, was abandoned. Only war was left.

Mass protests started. People demanded their governments to stop the wars. But they kept drafting the young and making weapons, so when poverty took over the middle classes, when their pockets and consumerism was affected, and their children were coming back in body bags, they started to get angry and go to the streets and organize against the dictatorships that took over the world. Of course, repression also became normal, police repression, forbidding protest, but also, AI was used to control every aspect of our lives, so the people who still cared to do something about it went underground.

It was then that the AMOC stopped and a huge winter storm paralyzed the northern hemisphere that killed millions of people. In the middle of the war in Europe, everything had to be stopped: freezing temperatures, dead crops, hunger and mass migrations. Also, North America, Russia, North Africa, parts of Asia were affected. And when millions saw clearly that their governments and the rich elite that they so stupidly glorified, abandoned them, desperation and anarchy spread on. That was the wake-up call to unite. But yet… people were not used to get organized by themselves. They were used to being told what to do, not to deciding what to do. It was chaos.

So, we, the Writers of Substack, got organized, united, and became a vehicle for dissent and prepared a new system to replace the old. My small part on it was the same as always has been: to connect opposite pols. I am like water, conductora, always between my two very different sisters. So, I listened, I opened up a forum for people to express their opinions freely, on both sides, on all sides. I united Global South and Global North through the dark corners of the internet; but there was censure, so we had to hide.

Of course, there was abuse, but at some point, people were more concerned about their survival, their family survival, and so they realized that we were all together in this. Right or left didn’t matter anymore. Death didn’t differentiate. The forum was adopted by other writers in Substack, and slowly, conversations became actions, and actions, revolution.

How did we do it? Slowly and painfully, trial and error. Losing a lot.

Trump, prepped up by drugs because at this point nobody knew anymore how old he was, together with his acolytes, was toppled down by mass protests and people’s dissent. In the South, poverty got to 80 % because of the neo-liberal policies and exploitation from the North. But when children were dying of hunger in the streets, people said enough.

It was not just one thing that ignited the revolt. It was a chain of events that finally got people moving. And it was not everywhere at the same time. But slowly, across the whole world, people united, people, the masses, the dispossessed of the earth, the losers, the artists, the intellectuals, the middle class, even some of the ultra-rich solidarized with the rest of the world: we all stopped consuming, buying useless stuff, stopped paying taxes to the dictator regimes, many were imprisoned and killed, but that didn’t deter us. The future of humanity was a stake because these oligarchs, these selfish ultra rich and greedy corporations that were in power and controlling us through AI, were destroying what was left of the natural world with their bombs and their continuing exploitation of natural resources.

Around 2035, the UN finally got some balls and took command of the situation. The military of the world also said no, after all, the military is also comprised of people. Many leaders saw the dangers of continued fighting and they also refused to participate. There were mass imprisonment and death penalties, but people refused to kill in the name of greed and power. People abandoned the cities, soldiers deserted, and went back to the land, any land that could be found even if it was owned, people occupied and settled and farmed and defended themselves in their off-grid bunkers.

Many people died but it was for a cause: to save the earth, humanity, from destroying itself.

The people had chosen peace. So, without the power of the people, the masses, the dictators had to surrender. The earth was still suffering from all the pollution, but by diminishing exploitation of natural resources, stopping all wars, the restoration could finally begin.

We still had to suffer the consequences of climate change, we did pass the 2 degrees ceiling by a grade or two, depending on the season and the currents, but we had faith that, by stopping consumerism, by stopping the shipping across the world, local economies and local trade could flourish, capitalism could be defeated, and solidarity and cooperation would be adopted as the norm.

After the horrors of war and climate disasters, we were ready to surrender and say Basta! We, the people, finally said NO.

How did I survive, I, lowly Nasty Woman?

I went to Argentina before all air and sea traffic was interrupted by the big wars and the climate disasters, and there I joined the resistance in Patagonia, where we created a self-sustained community of deserters. The losers united. With the help of some powerful dissidents, we secured communication channels in the dark web, and I helped organize the resistance there. Because some of those multi-millionaires of the world also lost everything to dictators and tyrants when they disagreed with them, those powerful dissidents also went under and helped. They might have no money left, but they did have connections.

The earth also rebelled against the tyranny of the unjust and sent flooding, storms, earthquakes, and heat waves. The ice melted; the permafrost came free. We were in deep shit. Half of the world population died.

It took years of struggle fighting the system. We lost much. But we finally won peace with each other and nature. We went to the dark ages, but after twenty years, we slowly resurfaced. We stabilized the climate. It was warmer, it was more extreme, there were parts of the planet that were inhabitable, but, we had another chance to build something better, more human and closer to nature.

So here we are, it’s 2050, I am 80 years old, and from my little patch of land in this corner of the world, I could say, we did it together.

Collaboration Goes mainstream in 2050

By Gisele Larose

I’ve experienced four decades of adult life.  During that time, I pursued the question, “What is my life purpose?”

It’s January 1st, 2050 and Earth is a cooperative place. I’m writing this on February 19th, 2024 to share what I did and how it grew like wildfire.  I opened people’s eyes and ears to an alternative means of communicating and collaborating.

After a career in healthcare and higher education where I observed, participated in and led systemic change, I got curious about what I could leave tomorrow’s learners, especially my grandchildren and the world.

In 2018 I received a certificate to establish a 501. (c)(3) nonprofit organization.  WebStudy Foundation was established as a solution shop that would engage people with different perspectives to talk and listen to each other.  The issue I set out to change was that the ‘right hand’ didn’t talk to the ‘left hand’.  This communication phenomena are evident between siblings, parents, spouses, organizations, departments within institutions, communities, cultures and countries etc.

 

I found numerous writings from people who advocated that humanity embrace the paradox of what seems absurd is actually well founded. For example, how could a victim of genital mutilation forgive the person responsible and live in the same neighborhood?  As a society, what if we could re-direct the same energy of what appears wrong as a perspective?  It seems like we cannot understand it because it was formed outside of our belief system.  My belief system was formed by my culture, family and geographically where I grew up.  What if I held the same belief system as a person who grew up in Beijing, China?  What do we have in common?

 

All of humanity shares language.  The variation arises in what we think, say and do with language.

 

We do not have to agree on a topic we disagree with. We can agree to align on a shared commitment such as world peace, love, prosperity and freedom.

The more I learned the more I grew as a person.  Most of my adult life was pre-set by childhood incidents where I dominated other people (to avoid being bullied) and I sought to control all circumstances (to repent for making a big mistake).  When I realized these attributes were not permanent.  I was capable of creating a myriad of other characteristics.

From 2019 to 2024, I created and lived inside a commitment to create a “World Empowered by Learning”.  I talked and listened to hundreds of people from all sectors.  I was moved by the work of numerous organizational development experts who had designed and facilitated large-scale collaboration in events with 5000 people.

I was so moved by the capacity that a collaborative methodology was proven effective but had not become mainstream practice. This accelerated the kinds of partnerships I formed for WebStudy Foundation to grow from an idea to a reality.

In founding WebStudy Foundation, I packaged the work of Lenny Lind and Karl Danskin, authors of Virtuous Meetings as an alternative solution to how educators and employers communicate and collaborate.  This proven methodology can be applied to ANY challenge.  My commitment was aimed specifically at educational attainment.

 

Digital transformation is reshaping what society created in the industrial era.  Humankind is being called to educate a greater number of people for different kinds of work. If we achieve mutual understanding, humanity would be capable of accepting paradoxes; not limiting the apparent contradiction as wrong and immovable.  When we agree to disagree, we can align on innovative solutions to elevate the quality of a purposeful life.

Our offer began in the United States, then grew to other countries.  We offered convenings instead of meetings.  Meetings are attended to be told something.  Convenings are attended to solve challenges.

 

People inspired by this process and methodology executed 760 convenings focused on converging education and employment between 2024- 2034.  Between 2030 – 2050, the process evolved to be used to impact challenges like preventative health practices, resource abundance, economic growth and peaceful resolutions of power.  Between 2030 – 2040, a larger number of facilitators were skilled in these methods being delivered in an additional fifty countries. By 2050, the process of collaboration across humanity became mainstream practice in all 189 countries.

What role do you want to play in this evolutionary process?

New World Architecture~ Thriving TOGETHER

By dee elle bupp

The New World Architecture~ Thriving TOGETHER

It’s January 1st, 2050 and oh baby OH!!! 

I’m so freakin’ psyched to be on earth right now! 

The whole universe has been cheering for us- so happy we made it!

I sent this time traveling capsule to 2024- 

hoping you’ll be open enough to see it. 

 

It all started in January 2024 (when Pluto moved into Aquarius). 

Life on earth started to feel different.

Instead of worrying about or hating on this or that, 

we gradually started shifting our attention to what we actually wanted to think about and focus on (the slow drip of MASSIVE change). 

That same month, I had my first glimpse (in the middle of an activation meditation) of the new system being built/created alongside the old. The New World Architecture appeared to me as a grid that connected everyONE and everything. It existed outside (yet parallel to) the current structure and systems that we had lived within for our entire existence (and many lives).

One of my roles was to offer a starting point from where we could begin to dream INto the possibilities of collective creation. 

Two things I could see from the beginning:

    the movement thru the grid and our expansion within (both inside the self AND inside the grid) was solely based on Alignment.
    Lack and Limitation DID NOT EXIST. Can you even imagine?!!! 

In 2024, and the few years that followed

the veneer that hid those in ‘power’ 

required far too much energy to feed-

so the dying, starving structure started to deteriorate.

Those who 1. fully believe that life is limited

and 2. choose to live in fear

kept the shell of the structure standing and operational (barely) 

long past its prime.

(if prime can be used for something that serves so few?)

 

Those of us who saw the cracks in the system

and were ready to see (with our own eyes) The Truth

had a transformative ~​​death/birth of old/new~ experience 

that carried us IN/thru to the grid world~ to the Land Of Plenty.

The change in belief to an alignment with a Greater Truth

created the transportation thru to the grid. 

So, not only is Alignment necessary within the grid

it’s also the transportation IN. 

 

Fast forward to 2050- to where I am now.

When I reflect on what has come to pass in my lifetime

my heart swells with the most immense waves of gratitude.

I am now living the reality I knew was possible.

I always had faith in humanity. Truly. No matter the outer appearance.

I am so grateful for all of the brave and courageous souls

who were willing to stand in the fire with me and leap INto the UNknown.

Trusting FULLY in our ability to create TOGETHER 

the world that we all wanted to live in.

I know you have challenges. I -fur shur- did. 

Lack and limitation create a prison of not enough-ness

that’s hard to escape from. 

Whether it’s: 

Money. Time. Love. Health. Resources. Friendships. DOings.

Food. Water. Air. And on and on.

Know, dear humans, that it is ALL possible. 

All of it! 

Dream as BIG as you possibly can.

 

I hope to see you in the Land Of Plenty.

It’s closer than you think. 

Open yourself to the possibility of more. 

 

And until then

focus on Alignment.

Notice the people/places/things that drain you.

Leave the job. The relationship. Even the family- if they suck.

 

Because there IS a place Fed by Love. Cooperation. Collaboration. 

Unity. Joy. Freedom. And Oneness- where EVERYthing and EVERYone Thrives.

The Land Of Plenty Awaits.

Healing ourselves in order to bring peace and healing to the planet

By Lynn Brodlie

 

  1. What I did to help the planet

Looking back, I felt my calling and service to others was to bring healing energy and understanding to individuals about their lives, increasing their own self-worth.

By understanding our life journey, healing emotional wounds helps to find peace and love within oneself and for others.  I incorporated aspects of health awareness, eating correctly, breathing exercises, sufficient sleep, etc. It is about appreciating our life and living a better way.  Opening people’s consciousness to vibrations and their internal world helps survival of their own challenging external world.

I qualified in various cognitive and healing body work therapies to connect with those who needed help and discover more about themselves including negative energy that could potentially harm them physically.

Naturally feeling the Earth energies and physical shift vibration such as earthquakes, I learned how everything on our planet is connected. In the same way as our whole body is one web of connection. Everything is a loving sacred consciousness.

By helping to bring peace into the body, mind and spirit; negative emotional patterns can be resolved. The Earth can feel the peace and love from us instead of fear and unrest. Loving energy and empowerment positively affects everyone around us.

As I continued to help people to be more at peace so that in turn, this loving energy will benefit the planet, I realised I could help individuals to self-heal.

I made it my purpose to do this whenever and wherever I was, at any point in time. This was on the basis that good positive energy reaches outwards and ripples across anything in its path.

This was what I did to help the planet wherever I was because if people feel better about themselves it must help the overall mission of creating a peaceful caring world.

 

  1. It’s January 1, 2050

A while back, I sold my house I had refurbished, in order to stop work. I moved away to a more rural area where I then trained initially with a Bereavement charity as a volunteer who had originally helped me. I then qualified in Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy in order to gain many cognitive therapy skills. Having experienced all types of abuse and recovered from them sufficiently; I now felt able to help others, as if it were now my calling. I already had my lifelong sensitivity, spiritual gifts and connection with spirit, so all of the above made perfect sense having learned about energy fields and various modes of healing others. I felt confident I could make a difference to help heal the world and bring peace.  Assisting people to become happier could in turn, bring positivity to our future together.

It is a bank holiday on 1st January 2050. Speaking of banks, there has been the biggest structural commercial change ever to be experienced. The previous catastrophe in the infrastructure of mankind produced a huge refit of finances; necessary in many countries across the world. The bringing together of spare cash and investments from wealthy individuals and conglomerates was an essential necessity overnight to help build communities again after excessive natural disasters.

Now, I don’t mean just giving out money to anyone who could be doing something with their lives but can’t or won’t. No, this new structure was to bring people together, to help each other, to restore damage to nature caused by excessive natural disasters back in the mid- 2020’s.

This innovative community structure, managed with new compassion, was created out of urgent necessity. Groups of people came together to work on parcels of land that had to be recreated. Nature had its own special way of survival from fire and floods but still needed human love and care to bring agriculture to those people recovering e after such a devastating time. It was similar to a barter system. For example, when community group A’s land was sorted and starting to flourish to feed their community, group A members might go and help group B with a project i.e. turning over very damaged soil for planting.  Permaculture was developing for sustainable self-sufficient agriculture ecosystems to thrive. This way everyone started to live comfortably, a welcome change from the previous greed of making millions of profit by the few who still wanted more.

The world was such a different place now. This brought self-worth, achievement and empowerment. Teams work better as it benefits them to look after each other. TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More (or M could stand for Magic). A sense of belonging brings caring, kindness and love in the space between people. The powerful energy, within us and surrounding us; connects us all.  If people are more content then the earth ultimately must feel it and benefit from this. As, no doubt, do all the living beings on our planet, in the ocean, on land and in the sky.  For we are all one energy, which permeates our Earth reaching out to the Universe, connecting with universal consciousness and universal love.

On this day as we begin another half-century, I am out in the amazing fresh air amongst an unusually warm climate for January. Such peace as I never once thought I would experience and happiness filling my heart as I walk.  I am wandering through an avenue of amazing trees surrounded by huge golden fungi, busy feeding the trees with their ancient knowledge. I could sense the souls and consciousness of the trees communicating with each other, feel them vibrating love and strength. Their natural supply of oxygen breathing me, was glistening in the sunlit air as I walked along a path of bright energised grass, soft beneath my feet.

I came this way today for a change as there were different routes from where I now live with my niece and family at their small holding farm, agriculture and livestock.  This is where I lived before so walking across now to see the old place. Its new owner was waving, beckoning me towards his flourishing land.  He stood holding a hoe in one hand near a vegetable patch.

“Good morning, lovely you came. Perfect timing, just boiled up some coffee” he said beckoning me to the familiar bench on the veranda. Glad to sit down, taking my shoes off; I stretched my big toes upwards to stimulate the essential Vagus nerve. I breathed in and out real slow, connecting bodily, and relaxing my organs.  I always breathe in and out very slowly. A regular necessity at my grand old age, still agile though.

“So lovely to see you,” he said sitting down, handing my mug of coffee. “I was talking about you earlier to the teacher and his young pupils, right over there learning how to grow vegetables.”

“Yes, I can see that, Simon” I said. “A very good thing these days after the catastrophe our poor old planet had to endure. It’s so important to bring back the old teachings to the young.”

In the peaceful silence, a large bird flew very close to us making us jump from its loud greeting.    “So, we were talking about how anyone as old as you survived, with all due respect and admiration for your resilience of course.  How it all affected you, with the excessive earthquakes, volcanos, flooding and tsunamis. We decided that those who were meant to survive from that time are still here for a reason. Maybe your older generation still in existence were good souls who helped the consciousness of the Earth. I’d really appreciate you telling me a bit about how you coped, how you remember it was before and about your life.

I contemplated that for a moment. I stared across the land I used to cultivate with whatever I could to supply my family with vegetables and fruit. The community had made such a good job of expanding this land for growth. “I can just see your hemp and corn growing through the bare trees. They are looking so good, Simon. It takes me right back to when I was getting to know more about the growing of Hemp. Just happy that so many people have gone back to growing the versatile plant at their homes compared to when I was your age. With such a change in climate, it is so much easier to cultivate produce now.”

I didn’t know quite where to start about my life and what I did to help to bring world consciousness into a better place.   So, I thought I would go for an earlier time in my life, realising I felt uncomfortable about how this world I was born into was becoming, as an adult.

At a very young age, Simon, people around where we lived grew their own vegetables and flowers.    I remember a local garden full of Chrysanthemums and Dahlias. Beautiful vibrant colours which I loved to see and smell the perfume. The old gentleman near us would ask me to go and pick out the earwigs to stop them eating the petals once they have devoured invertebrates. So, I lived through my childhood with many colours, opposite fields of wheat bordered with wild red poppies, bright blue cornflowers, buttercups and other wildflowers. I loved the king buttercups bordering a small river running through my paternal grandfather’s field.  I loved colour so much and even remember earlier still, standing in a playpen aged 2 or 3 trying to reach the oranges, apples and bananas on a sideboard.

As I grew into a teenager, I did not really feel as if I belonged to what was happening in my environment. Yes, there was still a market in the high street, a fish shop and butchers, sweet shops, iron mongers, and so on. It was a community and people helped each other, a slight touch of bartering and togetherness. But as the ancient small town was invaded by many new houses being built, so did the town start bringing in new large buildings such as supermarkets. Now there is nothing wrong with advancing facilities and services but being very sensitive, I sensed a change in the town. We were now living in a large house away from the countryside. My bicycle was my escape to find the wildflowers again with a friend who liked go train spotting. After that, attending a senior school meant a long cycle through rubble and rough roads of housing estates being newly erected.

I stretched my legs, arms and whole body to increase circulation. I was remembering the change in my perception of my senses, as I passed through my teenage years enjoying writing and artwork which I could escape into. Simon had gone to replenish our coffee and appeared with more of his own home-made biscuits.

“So what happened next? What did you do Doris as schooling finished?” he asked swishing some bees away in the direction of their hives near the fruit orchards.

“I wanted to go abroad and be an archaeologist to escape the new town environment, but that was the era where girls were to become secretaries or nurses.  I gave in and became a secretary at my parent’s insistence. ‘It will come in handy’ I was told. At the end of achieving those qualifications, I did a few months in a secretarial position with an international company. I then managed to secure a place with International Voluntary Service to go to Africa. This was just what I wanted, to live within colourful environments and be in nature again, away from concrete streets, houses and buildings. A civil war ensued there in Botswana where I was due to go. They, instead, sent me to the Seychelles, delightful islands in the Indian Ocean. Freedom came my way and I fed myself with colour and beauty of natural basic living in an old plantation house with other volunteers. I was part of an island housing improvement project using mostly natural materials.

At the end of that contract, I came home then qualified in catering whilst I was in a job at the Royal Air Force Association convalescent establishment in a rural setting near the family home. So, I now had more countryside which I was so comfortable with. Moving on into a different job after five years, I ran the facilities of a world-wide multi-national management training centre, a big leap for me career wise. I also, met my future husband which took me to three different countries in Africa.

My psychic abilities increased at this stage, living in a more natural environment than back home.      I had premonitions, especially leading up to unrest such as two aggressive coup d’état where rebels took over the countries we were in. Because of this gift, after the divorce from my husband; a work colleague took me to a Spiritual Church. This brought me to developing such skills in mediumship development circles and qualifying as a Spiritual Healer.

Simon leaned forward. “So sorry you had to go through a divorce and that must have been difficult starting all over again. You had no children of your own. Is that right?”

I nodded, surprised at Simon’s sympathy and understanding. “Thank you but it is as it is and it taught me more resilience and how to cope within our changing world. Having this gift of non-duality and receiving messages for people which in turn gave them guidance really helped me to connect with the state of our planet. It was changing rapidly and I seemed very connected with the earth energy in my own consciousness.   At the end of 1990’s I realised that the world was becoming one by way of general availability. Nationalities and establishments with foreign foods, fruits, vegetables, wines and other products arrived from all over the world.  As everything advanced, people started to close down personal face to face connection with each other. They were becoming individually separated in this way using their mobile phones instead.

“We just have these wrist bands that pick sound a long way from the wrist and they are healthy. I heard the old type mobile phone was really causing health problems before the planet change. These are created from research of UFO and crop circle information. Natural materials are used as well.”

“Yes, a bit beyond me, Simon. I do not go very far and don’t need one of those, dear.  Even modern music at that time of mobile phones became quite aggressive, and anger was increasing in people’s psyche. Uncaring was more apparent, more mothers than ever went to work so children had less maternal quality time. All this was fine but, and it is a big but because I could not only feel the change in the country but also sense it across the world. I was picking up more strongly premonitions on major incidents in dreams like train crashes, plane crashes and strong earthquakes more clearly.

Something was happening to me personally, Simon. This is good for me to reflect and talk to you like this. I’m so glad you asked me. I hope I’m not boring you though. Please be honest with me.”              I gave him a wry smile as I wanted to continue my journey and realisation of my life and how it developed. No-one had ever asked me like this before.

Simon grinned broadly, “I am so enjoying your story as you are the oldest person I know around here,” we both laughed at the way he said it, humour all over his face. So important to have fun and stimulate our serotonin and oxytocin levels, not just from flavonoids in the thick organic dark chocolate covering the ginger biscuits which were gradually diminishing.

“I remember now, as we talk, that the world seemed smaller and how easy it was for me to connect. I did a course in philosophy when we did a ‘coming to stillness’ exercise, closing our eyes being aware of our feet on the ground, air on our bare skin and well, something like that anyway. When we had to expand our senses outwards, I would see countries and hear their relevant sounds. I was advised by the tutor that this was not normal. Well, Simon, the funny thing was I had been kind of feeling this sort of thing for a long time. Like, when my maternal grandmother died, I could still hear her and talk with her after that.

I started to realise that the whole world was all connected not just at a physical level but in all levels of energy. For how else could I know things and feel energetically across the planet. Serendipity occurred many times. One evening, I was really drawn to ring someone at that hour instead of the next day as arranged. When I did, she was shortly going to a talk of something called Reike which I had not heard of. However, it was like a jolt in my mind and a warm feeling in my heart. So, I asked if I could go with her and I eventually became a Reike master. This was so helpful to understand even more about energy not just about the Earth but now the healing interconnecting body energy and symbols. I was so lucky to be guided to engage in such an interesting and empowering journey, Simon.”

I paused here for a few minutes as the schoolteacher with his young pupils passed by to the road and return to their school. Such serene energy, peaceful disposition, smiling radiantly and glowing from rays of the sun; these young beams of light energy were our future.

“Let’s walk awhile so I am not too stiff, Simon.” We wandered past the grapevines yet to bring this year’s fruit. The wine nowadays was really full of goodness because they made their own which contained good nutrients. I was remembering what was consumed when I was Simon’s age, when chemicals were used to create a stronger flavour in cheaper wine.

“So what next, this is so fascinating”, asked Simon. “Most people I know are healers and pick up on people easily so it is natural for us. I see colours around people, animals, plants and trees.”

“Yes, your generation born after the extreme natural disasters on the earth were so gifted. You were named the Golden children because when the earth started to settle and recuperate from the great natural cleansing, we had amazing golden light across our skies like we had never seen before. My generation however, did not have natural environments with clean air and clarity. Not everyone had the gift you speak of available to them as invariably parents would squash their children’s spiritual experiences through fear felt by that parental generation.

It was in the 1990’s when I started to feel fun and joy diminishing in the atmosphere of social gatherings. It was as if people were struggling even if they were wealthy. They never seemed content as we both know; money alone does not make people happy. I was having counselling myself. I was also more aware of others resisting such therapy as if it was a weak thing to do. But it does help if you understand why you are feeling resistance, rejection, anger, bitterness to name a few. I started to take on a few clients for Reike sessions and then started to see some in past life visions during their treatment. One day, when I ascertained that the client was quite spiritual knowing very little about her already; I asked a client about a vision I had of her on a ship with irons around their ankles and wrists. How she had infection in her ankles beneath the irons and died months after the ship arrived in Australia. This realisation astounded her as she had received three operations during this lifetime but the ankles could never be sorted out.

Healing therapies were still not really generally accepted and the topic kept quiet from others who may be too judgemental of them. I did learn other modalities and gain a qualification in Bowen Therapy. I was so interested in energy and have pursued questioning, experiencing and connecting with the unknown all my life.

When the Twin Towers came down in 2001, the world consciousness changed and opened people’s minds and hearts to other forms of staying healthy and improving bad health. Oh, look, I can see a few people meditating on the other side of the river.

“That’s something most of us do regularly, a really important rest for the brain and complete body as is yoga and a cold swim in the river to stimulate the mind. It’s part of our daily routine.”

“Good to hear. Many things changed in the new millennium, Simon, spirituality awareness in particular, thank goodness. There came a time when I stopped working in an office environment and I sold up to be free. I moved into the countryside and continued my personal healing journey.  I trained and become a volunteer with a Bereavement Charity and then qualified in Counselling and Psychotherapy to help others. This included Hypnotherapy which was all part of my further understanding of consciousness and being able to add extra ways of healing.”

Simon turned around and stopped as he spoke. “I know you are psychic Doris, and wondering why you don’t give readings.”

“Well I do, as and when Spirit connects with me.  Also, that gift is very useful during counselling when I can deal with the whole person in this way.  In fact, when we had the Covid lockdown, I did voluntary counselling to support a healing sanctuary. It is so important to clear ourselves of whatever we may be holding by way of old emotional stuff that is not needed any more. Talking therapy is so much more efficient for our health instead of carrying such emotions in our physical bodies.

“Isn’t it difficult listening to people’s problems because some people can be a bit repetitive hanging onto old stuff?”

“It can be, Simon. But I may just suggest something to give them understanding. Even if they object to the suggestion, a seed is sown. The thought may flourish if it is meant to in their brain and subconscious and produce something helpful.  I have always done this work because it is so worthwhile.  By assisting healing of individuals, others around them can also benefit as our energy flows between each other. Happy people attract happy people.

Prior to the 2020 Covid lockdown, a while before you were born, I felt the world was heading for something life changing and it needed to. It was in a very disconnected state.  During the summer of 2019, I stood at the back my house and asked God ‘when is something going to happen to stop the abuse, corruption and destruction of our amazing planet?’

The bereavement and grief humans had to go through during personal loss of loved ones during Covid 19 was huge, and would have brought them back to their hearts, back to their true existence and connection with the Earth and each other. Animals, birds and insects were abundant and the trees thrived as the polluted air slowly cleared.  It cleared through lack of fuel from planes in the sky and transport on the roads. Silence and peace were wonderful. Views of famous mountains appeared in countries where the air was so polluted before, a magical sight. It was a quick enough response to help people realise how easy it would be to have a cleaner healthier planet.”

Simon stopped to secure some chicken wire placed over and around healthy large leaves, on our way back to the house. Whilst doing this, he asked what the difference is between grief and bereavement.

“Well, very briefly Simon, a bereavement is the loss of a loved one and grief describes the response that can occur when accepting the bereavement and recovering from it. It isn’t just about losing a family member, it can be just as important if losing a pet, a job, a home from fire, to name a few. There is also accumulative grief. A new bereavement can bring back buried pain from unresolved grief.

So, that is why so much grief lingered in the world after Covid took so many lives. But out of grief comes compassion which had considerably dwindled up to 2020, in my opinion.

Since then compassion for each other in most situations such as industry, commerce, public services has increased. This has transpired very gradually, as people got used to the idea and communicated more from their heart instead of just from the mind. There is a saying that something good happens slowly whereas something bad happens quickly. Martin Luther King, a wonderful man of peace said ‘Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war’”.

“What does that mean?”

“Bringing peace and love to those War mongers at that time may have helped them re-evaluate themselves if they experience and connect with peace and love vibrations.”

I think most people’s issues are unresolved grief, Simon, for whatever emotional pain they carry.

Helping people to understand it all first then accept it and forgive whoever they need to. Then, more importantly, start to empower and love themselves. This can have a whirlpool ripple effect on other lives they touched. Positive caring energy has no end so would have helped the world consciousness for others even if it is just my own contribution to others. One person carrying out this work can make a huge impact as the good vibrations flow out across the planet. As in nature, an apple has only five pips but just one pip can produce a tree that will produce many more apples with many more pips. One healed good intentioned human can have the same impact on many others.

Just like the single pip from an apple, we never know or learn how many have been helped.  It is so important to heal ourselves first so that we may then help heal the planet in our own individual way of service.­­­­­­­­

 

  1. How we got through and are here now in 2050

In 2020, Covid 19 impact on the world changed people’s perspective on how to connect with others. This ‘lockdown’ situation was forced upon them from often living in a previous disconnected environment of the love of power instead of the power of love.

The shock on all levels of society and of our individuality probably awakened the world to consciousness for the first time. Since then, there has been more compassion shown towards each other. However, awareness of how we should be improving the state of the planet was slow to transpire.

Since that time, far more evidence has appeared via people who have brought it to attention. The remainder has been through climate change and ultimate suffering from earthquakes, fires, volcanoes and flooding. The oceans and rivers have shown us many examples of selfish human pollution.

So, when people did not pay attention to the Earth Mother’s message of the ancient Kogi prophecy, the inevitable happened. At this time an extremely high magnitude earthquake erupted in the ocean causing multiple tsunamis. This shocked the world and the Kogi prophecy, once only aware of by a few; became world-wide knowledge. This was a considerable warning to change right now.

So the post-Covid consciousness increased and the energy of the people across the world came to a resolved time of caring for each other and the planet. Money and power were no longer the key motives of being here on this planet. It was an immediate shift and could be felt by us spiritual souls overnight. The grief that ensued further opened the hearts and minds of many who had never recovered from fear and discomfort inflicted on them from the Covid bereavement of loved ones.

When another earthquake hit on land which started a volcano eruption, the Earth seemed to stand still in its consciousness as the realisation hit billions of people. This brought them into a coming together across the world and world-wide support sharing whatever was possible. Eventual peace reigned as people repaired the damaged lands and returned much more to the soil and permaculture attitudes to rebuilding our amazing planet.

Then, more importantly, start to empower and love themselves. This in turn has a whirlpool ripple effect on other lives they touched. Positive caring energy has no end so would have helped the world consciousness for others even if it is just my own contribution to others. One person carrying out this work can make a huge impact as the good vibrations flow out across the planet. As in nature, an apple has only five pips but just one pip can produce a tree that will produce many more apples with many more pips. One healed good intentioned human can have the same impact on many others. Just like the single pip from an apple, we never know or learn how many have been helped.  It is so important to heal ourselves so that we may then help heal the planet in our own individual way of service.
