Our Futures are Heading Toward Us!

Where have we been, and where are we going? Questions like this are more and more difficult to answer these days. As time marches forward, technology and innovation become interwoven into the tapestry of human evolution. As we evolve by way of these newer and newer technologies, an approaching threshold beyond that of any known boundary is sure to be crossed. The complexities of our world then make it increasingly difficult to predict the next phase of development amongst our social classes, economic systems, and globalization of just about everything. There are few if any people capable of shedding light onto the ever emerging future. The paradigm is swiftly changing, and the best I can hope to accomplish through the words in this article is to simply open your minds to the impossibilities of the probable tomorrow.

The understanding of our current progress is of dire necessity if anyone is to maneuver through the turbulent times ahead. No longer is it appropriate to see events taking place at a linear rate, of which insight into the future is relatively in reach. In this new era, one will not be able to see over horizon so to speak, creating an overwhelming curiosity about what is just around the corner. Under these conditions, it is natural for one to pay a bit more attention to their surroundings and events relating to their lives. With so much bombardment of the newest advances, people enter a state of awe and wonder. Multitudes of people eventually see into the possibilities of the world around them. Exciting times lay ahead of us all, and this dynamic continues to propel the hearts and minds of men and women forward in search of something even more elusive than that of technology alone.

Today, unsolved crimes of a decade ago, or more, are being solved. This is due to technology being more accessible and usable. In some cases, history is being rewritten. Newer and more precise solutions to controversial scientific explanations of the past have a great deal to do with these newer systems of thought, and an entirely new set of questions are coming along with our discoveries. It really is anybody’s guess as to what is in store for humanity in the next decade or two, and anyone who thinks they know are only fooling themselves, along with the countless others who take things at face value.

This feverish pace shows no signs of slowing, and as of now, there is nothing to suggest that we will come up against a wall of limitation. Nothing seems capable of slowing our advancement except perhaps that our own ignorance and greed. Scientific progress is exciting to bear witness to, however most don’t see the double edged sword that comes with it. Complex webs of understanding can benefit mankind, but it may be a threat if not properly managed. Many new technologies could just as easily destroy our world as they could save it.

It’s important for the average person to understand the current state of scientific progress so as to be educated about future decisions we are all going to be forced to make. With the emergence of cloning and our increased knowledge of DNA and stem cell research, ethical and moral issues that no one has ever thought possible are going to add to the confusion of these changing times. It will be the responsibility of every individual to go inside themselves in order to discover what is best for our futures. This will not be an easy task, picking what technologies are acceptable, and which ones aren’t, but we must not allow government to take the lead in making these decisions for us. Only by becoming activists and voicing your own ideals will a balance between humanity and technology occur.

Revolutions in many areas at the same time will prove to change the way the world operates. It will happen fast like all other revolutions of the past. Eventually it will be impossible to tell where we stand until years after the fact. With so much information already permeating the atmosphere and the internet, many would argue that we have entered a state of accelerated continual change in which it is difficult to accurately assess our truest positions. This flowing stream of change is only speeding up.

What I hope to have outlined thus far is that as we have evolved into what we are today, technology will continue to evolve side by side with us into the future. We are incredibly reliant upon what we have created, that our future success hinges upon us taking responsibility for the implementation of these systems of knowledge. The whole process is contingent upon our average level of education. By increasing the mean level and quality of education to larger groups, we eliminate much of our ignorance to the world around us. We must all fight to deny ignorance, and discover for ourselves what forces are truly at work.

The Fabric of our Lives

Enjoy that which you are used to while you can because soon the fabric of our lives is going to be irreversibly different. If you happen to be one of those people who dislike change, I suggest you try to embrace it as fully as you can. The ever arriving future is swiftly catching up to us. Tomorrow will be a different day than today, and perhaps we are blindly driving toward a cliff of despair. I believe that our world is spinning out of control. There is such a feeling amongst the air that I feel we are all somehow aware of it. Some more than others, but please, just look about and bear witness to your surroundings, and take note for yourselves. When I look, I see.

In light of our pace, and interconnectedness, we are going to face challenges we’ve never even thought of before. The only way I see us avoiding disaster is if we indoctrinate an adaptive nature toward things. Maintaining quick reflexes should be top priority on the list of things to develop prior to anyone feeling save.

Autonomy is perhaps the most important thing of all. Only when this is accomplished will humanity stand a chance against the up and coming threats that can’t even be imagined yet. What I mean, is that we need autonomous communities capable of sustaining themselves in every way necessary to life. We’re technologically capable, however it’s not happening, and the authorities that be seem hell bent on preventing this autonomous emergence to take place. They’re holding on tightly to the old paradigm, stuffing their pockets as full as they can until the whole thing crumbles to the ground.

Society is utterly too dependent upon an infrastructure. This foundation, when taken away, makes it virtually impossible to live. Rolling blackouts and natural disasters put our society in danger, but if we were fully functional homes, this danger could be avoided. The price of such technologies is quickly making it possible to consider these types of ideas. We can protect ourselves, but we must first learn that we need protecting.

Frequency Shift Needed in Consciousness!

2012 Paradigm Shift hopes to bring together facets of a changing world so that we may pass through the doorways of discovery with the least amount of turbulence. A Paradigm is: “A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them.”

Our world has never before been so poised to shift human awareness, realize our potentials, and secure a future for our newest generations. The reasons for the timing are really quite simple, because if we don’t make these changes, and soon, we will risk the loss of the Earth and human progress up to this point. But with the cumulative knowledge, and the global connectedness of today’s world, we should be able to orchestrate movements of power that stand a chance at making an impact crater large enough to make a difference. The chaos that surrounds us seems to never want to let up, so we must strive to understand the chaos and work to secure our own future in turbulent and uncertain times ahead.
