If we dont start looking to the long term aspects of life on earth, were going to wait until its too late to save the planet! Yes, the planet! Eckhart Tolle had it right when he wrote his book the Power Of Now; however, that didnt mean to live selfishly for us without any forethought to what we might be passing on to our children and grand children.

Its been said that we will not change until the misery factor exceeds our fear factor.

If one takes a look around the planet surely the misery factor is growing exponentially- at least for most. A change in world view comes from a realistic world viewed. I can feel-sense the spiritual-psychological tremors. Cant you? There is always a building of tension before whats within, or underneath, comes to the surface.

Our current and old way of perceiving and viewing life is now generating more problems than solutions.

And it is those problems that always become the catalyst for triggering a shift in thinking or consciousness. We have many problems in the world today, but none like were going to be facing. Before we totally use up our non-renewable resources (can you say water and food?). A new level of learning and living must be adopted.

We are becoming more and more trapped by our thinking thats not working!

These barriers that were building, these walls between cultures, and these hatreds or anothers religious beliefs cannot continue to increase or grow. The good news is that we currently have time and the ability (if we have the will) to open the doors of the prison cells weve built. After all, the prison cells lock from the inside!

The only question is how much longer will we have to go through lifes proverbial hell before we decide the current path of humanity is not going to provide a sustainable future for our children, if not for us.
