Happy New year to all of you, friends from the old days and the new.
It’ll be 2018 soon and the world is still spinning around the Central Sun.
The ETs did not show up (yet) and we have not ascended into the 5.Dimension (as promised) and we still have to earn our daily bread to the best of our abilities.
Wars and violent confrontations, mass shootings and such are daily news and nature is fighting back with fire, water and extraordinary storms. Also a few earthquakes and Volcano eruptions sprinkled in ; D
Still humanity is determined to stick the head into the sand , people distracting themselves with all kind of drugs, , Facebook, private pleasures and general denial of the status quo of overpopulation, waves of migration, climate changes, melting ice caps and other goodies.
But there is always the beach to enjoy or another movie ; )
But really, what can we do in the face of all of that mess?
Well, i don’t have the answer, sorry guys ( ; )
But i guess it always helps to open the eyes, be aware of those realities and have clear opinions about all of that.
We better take a stand and declare which side we are on!
Many sparks of awareness give a greater light in the darkness.
And many gentle or angry voices together make a great choir.
I guess that we live in a time and place of great changes and crossroads for human society.
21. Century Technology has brought us the Internet, the great global knowledge base and world wide web of interconnection.
I think the next year(s) will bring a revolution in all kinds of areas because of AI, General Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
We are not watching SciFi movies anymore, it will all be real life. The first AI Systems have managed to show the ability of Intuition and to learn and optimize tasks with incredible speed. (Check out Googles Deep Mind)
Robots are manufacturing cars and everything else with incredible speed, effectivity and precision.
Cars will be driving around pretty soon without somebody on the wheel.
Cryptocurrencies are ready to challenge the financial systems, sooner than later to disrupt capitalism as we know it.
Technology is advancing with accelerating speed and the scenarios of Science Fiction will be reality quite soon.
And all the while, glaciers are melting and the seas are rising and the earth spinning in space as always.
Mother Earth his groaning from the weight of 7.6 billion human bodies.
7600000000 more or less confused people trying their best to make a living and make sense of all of it.
Babies are born, a lot of them, new souls coming in every day.
For their sake we should think, the wellbeing of the next 7 generations shall be our concern and motivation for our actions.
I know that sounds like a lot of responsibility in the face of all those complicated problems the world is facing.
But really, a lot can be done by small groups of response-able people. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
I suggest to practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty every day. Little things that bring grace and magic and love back into our everyday life.
And most of all, i suggest to meditate, or at least learn to practice this forgotten art of being peaceful in mind and heart.
Inner peace and contentment shines out into the world.
Maybe igniting light in other souls.
Lets be sparks of light in 2018.
Might help the world.
May all beings be happy.
