“Young
Burrowing Owl” by Hal Brindley
This
post is a little different to what I normally write. I decided to post here a portion of an article I was writing for elsewhere. Basically, I chat briefly about my
feelings about the ‘now’ of life on earth and the ‘future’ (through 2013 and
beyond).
Again,
as I always say with my other posts, what is written below are just ‘feelings’
and not predictions of actual events and/or prophecy. So observe them with a
lateral perspective – not a literal one.
The photo
of the beautiful baby owl above, I feel is somewhat symbolically related to the
content of this post. “The evolution of Wisdom begins with asking “Why?””
(Louise Page 2013)
As with
other years past, 2013 will experience various notable events involving
earthquakes, severe weather, water and fire, and maybe even happenings emanating
from our solar system/sun/space. This, though a dramatic statement, is quite
predictable given the recent history of our planet.
Scientific
(and other) knowledge and discovery will assist in the potential prediction,
understanding and some precautions (preparation) to be taken in case an event
occurs or one may be of a potential happening. Some new ‘discoveries’ will
change many people’s view of our natural world. Equally, new realizations
(perhaps blended with ‘old’) and further witnessing of ‘events’ of how man has
impacted our natural world may cause an increase in in the volume of the people’s
‘voice’ and action.
Many
more citizens (and an ever increasing number) of the world will be more
questioning, inquiring, researching, studying, challenging and truth-seeking of
many things to do with ‘politics’, disasters, humanity, the distribution of
wealth and power, war, the heavens (space/sun), sustenance (food/water etc.),
earth movements, justice/injustice and visions of the future.
Some
people may become more aware of their own actions – ‘cause and effect’. Some people may completely or make
significant changes to the way they conduct their lives and their visions of
the truth as they perceive it. Some may decide to live a more simple life and
cease to include some or many elements of today’s technologies. I feel there
may be a ‘drawing’ back to the ‘land’ – meaning many may choose to become more self-sufficient
(food, fuel/power etc.) and aim to ‘work’ in harmony with nature.
Many
people may feel more at peace with their Earth and some become more fearful.
Some may become more at peace with their communities and others may become more
fearful of theirs. Some may move to another environment altogether, further
away from ‘civilization’ and aim to assimilate more with nature, and leave a
hectic lifestyle/city behind.
But it’s
not all gloom and doom. Greater awareness of the realities of many things will
enlighten many. Such knowledge may help renew or create a greater sense of
humanity, understanding and community amongst many peoples, cultures, lands and
religions. Though some ‘groups’ may be further distanced from each other,
causing friction. Some may discover an alternative ‘set of beliefs’ which may
provide them with the inner ‘peace’ they have sought or stumbled upon. Such a personal
revelation may change many previous thoughts and perspectives held.
With
greater inquiry, by many, of the dynamics of the governments of their lands,
some ‘communities’ may demand greater accountability of the decisions the
leaders of their lands may be making for them. A revolution (of the people) of
desired change may cause some communities to gather in large numbers to voice
their thoughts and achieve change. For some communities, their governing ‘powers’
may move to quell such expressions, but I feel that the ‘people’ will only be
empowered by this to continue their ‘cause’ and not rest until ‘answers’ are, or
change is achieved.
If
there are ‘secret societies’, as many people seem to be discussing openly
(especially on the internet), they may become transparent and openly viewed by
those not privy to the secrecy that can envelop such ‘groups’. Greater truth and understanding of such will
become clearer – the reasons for secrecy may be exposed.
Earth,
through natural cycles and happenings, will always subtly (sometimes
dramatically) and obviously continue changing. We will see some animal species
(including sea/water life) die in numbers, migrate to other environments
(waters to other waters; lands to other lands) in an attempt to survive away
from the negative conditions which drove them there. Other happenings which
will impact (and is obviously doing so now) the lives and living places of some
species, will be man’s impact on water or land quality, and/or volume/amount of
food needs. Survival instinct is a powerful thing.
There
may be a renewed desire to repopulate the lands with trees/plants to give back
to the planet (and animal kingdom) what we have taken away. So conservation may
take on a greater energy. This desire may also further be ‘fuelled’ by man’s
own sub-conscious survival instinct and feeling that if we don’t care for the
planet, nature (for whatever reason) may not have the strength (in some places)
to help us subsist. In some places ‘man’ will need to change/adapt to natures
changes in order to survive or continue subsistence.
Many will continue to search scriptures; the writings of philosophers, scientists, wise ones, those dedicated to a cause, other professionals and non-professionals; observe earth and sun signs (behaviors) for meaning and affect, and formulate hypothesis and questions about life events.
I feel we are heading into a new age of enlightenment (understanding) of life as we know it. The resultant feelings may be a mixture of shock, excitement, fear, peace, hope, anticipation, joy, euphoria and so on and on. Some will challenge their own beliefs and others will ever more connected with their faith and beliefs. Our own personal experience of life is an individual one, so your own perceptions, understandings and values in life will unique to you.
I hope for peace and safety for all.
I will post some of my feelings regarding earthquakes a.s.a.p..
