10 Reasons For Hope and Optimism Or Why We're Not All Screwed
Dear friends,
What wild, crazy, and exciting times we live in! If you watch the
news or read the newspaper, it may seem that everything is
falling apart, the world is filled with war, fear, greed, and
hate, and we're all screwed. These are real challenges we are
facing, yet there are also many amazing developments that
the media is hardly reporting. The old media truism is that
fear-mongering and sensationalism sell. But what if we make it
more fun and even profitable to spread love, joy, and
inspiration in life?
Below is a list of 10 most inspiring trends showing that we are
not screwed, that despite the challenges, there are many great
reasons for hope and optimism. These inspiring trends suggest
that we are in the midst of a huge shift that could very well
lead to a much more rich and enjoyable world for all. For each
reason listed below, several links are given to verify the
inspiring material presented and to dive deeper into it. Behold,
10 reasons to become hope-mongerers!
Reason #1 : Humans Are Not Lemmings! Global Population
Leveling Off
Reason #2 : Solar Power Soon Cheaper Than Coal, Gas, and Oil
Reason #3 : The Internet Miracle – Unprecedented Networking,
Information Access
Reason #4 : Children More Loved, Supported Than Past
Generations
Reason #5 : Violent Crime Dropping Dramatically, Wars Much
Less Vicious
Reason #6 : Focus Shifting from Left vs. Right to 99% vs. 1%
to the Human Family
Reason #7 : Man Behind the Curtain Exposed – The Global
Power Elite
Reason #8 : Interest in Personal Growth, Consciousness
Expansion on the Rise
Reason #9 : Love and Cooperation Are Rockin' Our World!
Reason #10 : You Can Be Master of Your Own Life Now!!!
Reason #1: Humans Are Not Lemmings! Global Population
Leveling Off
The world recently witnessed the birth of the seven billionth
human on our planet. That's a lot of people! But did you know
that the pessimistic predictions of a few decades ago that a
lemming-like population bomb would drive humanity over the
cliff of self-extinction are turning out not to be true? As the
whole world gets wealthier and more secure, the desire for
having many kids is dropping.
The average number of children per woman has been declining
rapidly for decades. According to official UN data , the
average number of children per woman worldwide for the
period 1965 to 1970 was 4.85. Yet 40 years later, for the
period of 2005 to 2010, that number dropped nearly 50% to
2.52! And the numbers continue to decline. Most experts
predict that global population will level out by about 2100 at
around 10 billion and may even decrease after that. And if we
use our resources wisely, we can easily support that number of
people. Yea!!!
Reason #2: Solar Power Soon Cheaper Than Coal, Gas, and Oil
The major media sadly have given very little attention to the
exciting fact that we are already very close to solar energy
becoming less expensive for energy generation than gas, coal,
and oil. This is a huge game changer! If we no longer depend on
big oil for our energy needs, we naturally gain an
unprecedented level of energy independence that strengthens
us as individuals and weakens the strangling grip of the greedy
energy megacorporations.
If you explore major media websites, you'll find unbelievably
little coverage of the amazing hope and promise of energy
independence related to solar energy. Nor will you see much
about other incredible new energy sources which have the
potential to make energy virtually free for all people on our
planet. Think about the implications of that! Thankfully, a few
little-publicized media articles by mainstream sources have
reported on some of these highly promising new energy
technologies. Explore the links below for more exciting
information on all of this.
After we have mastered the wind, the waves, the tides, and
gravity, we shall harness the energies of love. Then, for the
second time, man will have discovered fire. ~~ Teilhard de
Chardin
Reason #3: The Internet Miracle – Unprecedented Networking,
Information Access
Thanks to the amazing miracle of the Internet, humanity is
interconnected around the world like never before. Facebook,
twitter, change.org , and thousands of other social networking
websites allow us to develop and maintain relationships with
hundreds of people around the world, and to quickly and
effectively spread the word far and wide on great causes.
Caring and concerned groups like avaaz.org and many others
can now pool legitimate electronic signatures of hundreds of
thousands of people for political and social petitions sometimes
in a matter of days.
Where in the past the major media and those in power often
set or at least limited the terms of debate in our world, the
Internet now allows any idea whose time has come to spread
like wildfire without any censorship from above. Pirate radio
stations continually harassed by the powers that be are a thing
of the past, as anyone can now set up a podcast or a blog and
reach not just a local, but a worldwide audience. And you can
set up your own website to promote any interest which matches
your passion. It's incredibly easy and free these days.
Those who know how to check and verify information using
reliable sources can now quickly and easily carry out legitimate
research to expose greed and corruption. This has forced
unwanted transparency onto politicians and government in a
way that empowers us all. Even intelligence agents around the
world are realizing how they have been manipulated by the
powers that be, and many are now secretly working to expose
all the craziness. I've had several contact me personally. And
have you noticed that almost every significant bill to limit
Internet freedom has failed? Yea!!!
For great examples of how the Internet is a game changer,
explore the case of former FBI translator and whistleblower
Sibel Edmonds. It's remarkable not only that she's not in jail,
but that she's breaking her gag order by self-publishing her
tell-all book Classified Woman. The fact that I have never been
bothered for my whistleblowing as a White House interpreter
and for my muckraking on WantToKnow.info is another inspiring
example. For more great information you could not have
accessed before, check out Project Censored , David Wilcock,
and the Transformation Team .
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness
has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. ~~ Goethe
Reason #4: Children More Loved, Supported Than Past
Generations
100 years ago, if parents wanted professional advice on how
best to raise their children, the only sources they could turn to
might be Sigmond Freud or their family doctor. Now a plethora
of great resources is available in books, websites, and health
clinics around the world. Back then, corporal punishment was
considered the norm and no one dared talk about physical or
sexual abuse. Nowadays, child abuse can quickly be reported
and stopped, and parents around the world are finding many
ways to be more loving and supportive of their kids than even a
generation ago.
Partially as a result of these changes, the generation of
children growing up now is more tolerant and accepting of
widely differing lifestyles and a broad diversity of people and
cultures than ever before. In this modern culture where
everyone is increasingly interconnected, we're likely in for
some big and wonderful changes as the harsh old guard retires
and successive generations of increasingly caring individuals
move into positions of influence in our world.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is
essential is invisible to the eye. ~~ Antione de Saint Exupéry in
The Little Prince
Reason #5: Violent Crime Dropping Dramatically, Wars Much
Less Vicious
Violent crime rates have been dropping dramatically for 20
years. Official U.S. Department of Justice statistics show that
violent crime rates of 2010 were 1/3 the rates of 1994! Other
countries are experiencing a similar decline . And deaths of law
enforcement officers are at their lowest in 50 years according
to this Boston Globe article, while according to official FBI
statistics , rape rates have dropped to one-sixth of what they
were 20 years ago! How awesome is that!!! Yet if you just
watch the sensationalized news on TV, you might never know
about these inspiring trends.
Consider also that 1,000 years ago, rape and pillaging were felt
to be the natural spoils of war. The severed heads of enemies
hung above the gates on the city wall greeted those who
entered there. War atrocities were once the norm, where today
they are prosecuted in international courts.
And the number of war deaths has dropped significantly since
the over 15 million killed in WWI and roughly 60 million killed in
WWII. Roughly three million were killed in both the Korean and
Vietnam Wars. Since then, only two wars in Africa and the
Soviet war against Afghanistan have had more than a million
casualties. We still have a long way to go, but at least wars are
now significantly less vicious, and we've managed not to
destroy ourselves in a nuclear holocaust.
Naturally the common people don't want war. It is the leaders
of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple
matter to drag the people [into war], whether it is a
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a
communist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.
All you have to do is to
tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists
for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It
works the same in any country. ~~ Nazi leader Hermann
Goering at the Nuremberg trials.
Reason #6: Focus Shifting from Left vs. Right to 99% vs. 1%
to the Human Family
The terms of political debate have rapidly shifted in the last
few years. As recently as 2007, the public was sharply divided
into liberal versus conservative camps with people fighting over
issues which exacerbated the left/right divide. For thousands
of years, the global elite have used the "divide and conquer"
strategy to keep the public fighting against each other, while
they reaped the spoils of the conflict they incited. Keeping
people in conflict and at war with each other is highly
profitable for those who sell weapons and fear.
The global financial crisis of 2008, however, has changed all
that. Now you find conservative Tea Party groups working
together with liberal new-age groups in the Occupy movement
to stop the incessant flow of wealth from the 99% to the
wealthiest 1%. And it's only a matter of time before people
really get it that we're all one human family doing our best to
survive and thrive on this beautiful planet we call home. Maybe
it's time for all of us to occupy our hearts. 99% + 1% = 100%.
The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every
human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own
heart? ~~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Reason #7: Man Behind the Curtain Exposed – The Global Power Elite
As the public became aware of the massive greed and market
manipulations of the banking elite during the financial crisis,
an increasing amount of attention was focused on the global
power elite. Where in the past people who talked about the
immense power of secretive organizations like the Bilderberg
Group and Skull and Bones were considered crazy "conspiracy
theorists," now many caring citizens are exploring what these
and other very real secret groups of the power elite of our
world are doing. Even the once-reluctant media is now helping
to expose these secrets.
Once very effective in keeping their secret meetings off the
public radar screen, the global power elite now realize that the
jig is up. Their manipulations are being closely scrutinized,
forcing them to act more responsibly. Entrenched factions of
this elite are still struggling desperately to hold on to the vast
amount of control they once exercised through using
sophisticated technologies like HAARP , non-lethal weapons , and
more. Yet these factions now find themselves in the minority,
as even many members of the power elite say it's all gone too
far.
Due to these internal pressures, the global power elite has
become increasingly fractured, with many factions battling for
differing agendas like never before. Even the most power-
hungry factions are overwhelmed now with fighting to put out
the fires caused by whistleblowers and newly emerging
movements around the world. Little-known groups of
intelligence agents like " The Library " are working behind the
scenes to undermine global manipulations and support positive
change for all in our world. The old " need to know " culture of
secrecy is inexorably giving way to rapid information sharing
which serves all of us in building a better world. What exciting
times we live in!
In societies with strong power elites, the powerholders' power is
dependent on the co-operation, acquiescence, and tacit support
of the great majority of common citizens. ~~ Bill Moyer
Reason #8: Interest in Personal Growth, Consciousness
Expansion on the Rise
As people around the world awaken to the previously hidden
shadow side of our world, they are also opening more to new
ways of looking at life and the inspiring light side of our world.
Ever increasing numbers are seeing that life is not all about
sex, money, and consumerism, and that we can find more joy
and satisfaction through exploring deeper into personal growth
and into the role of consciousness in our lives and in human
development.
Mainstream scientists are now studying various aspects of
consciousness and finding that we have much more creative
power in our lives than was once believed. Dr. Bruce Lipton's
pioneering cell biology research suggests that, contrary to
popular belief, genes are not the primary regulators of life.
Rather the way we perceive our life and world may be a key
factor in determining gene activity. And experts in the field
of quantum physics are confirming that for deeper
understanding of our world, it may be impossible to separate
the physical world from the consciousness that perceives it.
Innovative communication and conflict resolution techniques
like nonviolent communication are helping us to to move
through challenges with each other with more love and
compassion. Interest in transformative near-death experiences ,
the healing properties of psychoactive substances, young
children with detailed memories of past lives , the so-called
" indigo children ," the holographic model of the universe, and
much more are on the rise. These and more are inspiring us to
reconsider just what reality is and how our consciousness plays
a role in shaping the reality in which we live.
People all over are stretching beyond their old belief systems
and opening to the possibility that we are all much more
connected than we once thought. Many are increasingly
developing and refining their life purpose and intentions so
that they can move with greater focus and clarity as they
consciously create the life and world they envision. We are
living ever more fully Mahatma Gandhi's inspiring words, "Be
the change you want to see."
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy that is translated
through you into action. There is only one you in all time. This
expression is unique. If you block your unique expression, it will
never exist through any other medium.
It is not your business
to determine how good it is. It is your business to keep it yours
clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. ~~ Martha
Graham
Reason #9: Love and Cooperation Are Rockin' Our World!
Ever more people around the world are embracing the
interconnectedness of each of us and of all humanity and all
beings in the world and universe around us. It's exciting to see
growing numbers of people opening to love and cooperation and
finding a rich variety of powerful ways to build a richer life
and world for all of us. We are increasingly recognizing that
every one of us can make a difference. Even simple acts such
as a smile or a warm greeting can turn around a person's day
and make the whole world a little brighter for us all.
There are an incredible number of people, websites, and
organizations beautifully spreading love and cooperation in our
world today! So many shining examples like Nipun Mehta, who
has spread love and inspiration far and wide with his DailyGood
and weekly KarmaTube email lists. Websites like Moment of
Love and The Love Foundation are inviting people to realize
that every person in the world has heart, and everyone has a
place in their heart that just wants to love and be loved. Great
organizations like Challenge Day , idealist.org , and the
HeartMath Institute are helping break down the barriers
between us and bring us together with ever more love and joy.
A wave of profound spirituality based in love and
interconnectedness is sweeping the globe and changing the
collective consciousness of all humanity. And while healthy
competition has its place, people all around the world are
cooperating in a variety of meaningful ways to focus more on
what matters most in life and create a brighter future for all.
Talk about exciting!!! Now is the time to step more fully into
your power through love!
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world
will know peace. ~~ Jimi Hendrix
Reason #10: You Can Be Master of Your Own Life Now!!!
You are more powerful than you may even know. In the old
paradigm, the global power elite wanted you to live in fear and
scarcity and to believe that you were powerless, so that they
could keep the power and abundance for themselves. In the
new paradigm, ever more people are coming to realize that we
all have unlimited power and potential within us. Every one of
us can play a decisive role in changing our lives and our world
for the better!
What's stopping you? Where do you feel weak and powerless in
your life? How can you transform that? Recognize the things
that you can't change, and choose to focus on changing the
things that you can. If each of us does our part to reach out
and mend the part of the world within our reach, life can't help
but get richer for all of us. The ideas and resources below can
help you to step more fully into your power and become a
master of your own life.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
~~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Rock On!!!
There are many more reasons for hope and optimism, including
holistic healing models being increasingly embraced by
mainstream medicine, a new paradigm in prisons which truly
rehabilitates, and the incredibly empowering microcredit
movement whose pioneers won the Nobel Peace Prize for
helping many millions worldwide to escape poverty. And learn
about the 100-year-old man who recently completed a 26-mile
marathon, or the 86-year old gymnast who brought a standing
ovation from the audience. There is so much inspiration out
there if we choose to look!
This is not at all to suggest that we ignore the shadow sides of
our world. It is by shining light into the darkness and working
together to integrate the shadow and the light that we
powerfully transform our lives and world. Fear and major
challenges in our life and in our world can actually teach us and
help us to grow. Every act can be seen as either an act of love
or a call for love. When we live from a place of love and
integration, our lives can't help but be filled with more love
and joy.
Together, we are making a big difference. And by using the
amazing power of the Internet, we can make even more of a
difference by spreading this underreported, inspiring news
around our planet. Share this message with your friends and
help us all to move into inspired action as we join together in
transforming our lives and world. We are the ones we've been
waiting for. And while you're at it, have a fun, rich and
meaningful day, week, and life ahead!
With abundant love, hope, and excitement,
What wild, crazy, and exciting times we live in! If you watch the
news or read the newspaper, it may seem that everything is
falling apart, the world is filled with war, fear, greed, and
hate, and we're all screwed. These are real challenges we are
facing, yet there are also many amazing developments that
the media is hardly reporting. The old media truism is that
fear-mongering and sensationalism sell. But what if we make it
more fun and even profitable to spread love, joy, and
inspiration in life?
Below is a list of 10 most inspiring trends showing that we are
not screwed, that despite the challenges, there are many great
reasons for hope and optimism. These inspiring trends suggest
that we are in the midst of a huge shift that could very well
lead to a much more rich and enjoyable world for all. For each
reason listed below, several links are given to verify the
inspiring material presented and to dive deeper into it. Behold,

the physical world from the consciousness that perceives it.
Innovative communication and conflict resolution techniques
like nonviolent communication are helping us to to move
through challenges with each other with more love and
compassion. Interest in transformative near-death experiences ,
the healing properties of psychoactive substances, young
children with detailed memories of past lives , the so-called
" indigo children ," the holographic model of the universe, and
much more are on the rise. These and more are inspiring us to
reconsider just what reality is and how our consciousness plays
a role in shaping the reality in which we live.
People all over are stretching beyond their old belief systems
and opening to the possibility that we are all much more
connected than we once thought. Many are increasingly
developing and refining their life purpose and intentions so
that they can move with greater focus and clarity as they
consciously create the life and world they envision. We are
living ever more fully Mahatma Gandhi's inspiring words, "Be
the change you want to see."
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy that is translated
through you into action. There is only one you in all time. This
expression is unique. If you block your unique expression, it will
never exist through any other medium.
It is not your business
to determine how good it is. It is your business to keep it yours
clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. ~~ Martha
Graham
Reason #9: Love and Cooperation Are Rockin' Our World!
Ever more people around the world are embracing the
interconnectedness of each of us and of all humanity and all
beings in the world and universe around us. It's exciting to see
growing numbers of people opening to love and cooperation and
finding a rich variety of powerful ways to build a richer life
and world for all of us. We are increasingly recognizing that
every one of us can make a difference. Even simple acts such
as a smile or a warm greeting can turn around a person's day
and make the whole world a little brighter for us all.
There are an incredible number of people, websites, and
organizations beautifully spreading love and cooperation in our
world today! So many shining examples like Nipun Mehta, who
has spread love and inspiration far and wide with his DailyGood
and weekly KarmaTube email lists. Websites like Moment of
Love and The Love Foundation are inviting people to realize
that every person in the world has heart, and everyone has a
place in their heart that just wants to love and be loved. Great
organizations like Challenge Day , idealist.org , and the
HeartMath Institute are helping break down the barriers
between us and bring us together with ever more love and joy.
A wave of profound spirituality based in love and
interconnectedness is sweeping the globe and changing the
collective consciousness of all humanity. And while healthy
competition has its place, people all around the world are
cooperating in a variety of meaningful ways to focus more on
what matters most in life and create a brighter future for all.
Talk about exciting!!! Now is the time to step more fully into
your power through love!
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world
will know peace. ~~ Jimi Hendrix
Reason #10: You Can Be Master of Your Own Life Now!!!
You are more powerful than you may even know. In the old
paradigm, the global power elite wanted you to live in fear and
scarcity and to believe that you were powerless, so that they
could keep the power and abundance for themselves. In the
new paradigm, ever more people are coming to realize that we
all have unlimited power and potential within us. Every one of
us can play a decisive role in changing our lives and our world
for the better!
What's stopping you? Where do you feel weak and powerless in
your life? How can you transform that? Recognize the things
that you can't change, and choose to focus on changing the
things that you can. If each of us does our part to reach out
and mend the part of the world within our reach, life can't help
but get richer for all of us. The ideas and resources below can
help you to step more fully into your power and become a
master of your own life.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
~~ Jalaluddin Rumi
Rock On!!!
There are many more reasons for hope and optimism, including
holistic healing models being increasingly embraced by
mainstream medicine, a new paradigm in prisons which truly
rehabilitates, and the incredibly empowering microcredit
movement whose pioneers won the Nobel Peace Prize for
helping many millions worldwide to escape poverty. And learn
about the 100-year-old man who recently completed a 26-mile
marathon, or the 86-year old gymnast who brought a standing
ovation from the audience. There is so much inspiration out
there if we choose to look!
This is not at all to suggest that we ignore the shadow sides of
our world. It is by shining light into the darkness and working
together to integrate the shadow and the light that we
powerfully transform our lives and world. Fear and major
challenges in our life and in our world can actually teach us and
help us to grow. Every act can be seen as either an act of love
or a call for love. When we live from a place of love and
integration, our lives can't help but be filled with more love
and joy.
Together, we are making a big difference. And by using the
amazing power of the Internet, we can make even more of a
difference by spreading this underreported, inspiring news
around our planet. Share this message with your friends and
help us all to move into inspired action as we join together in
transforming our lives and world. We are the ones we've been
waiting for. And while you're at it, have a fun, rich and
meaningful day, week, and life ahead!
With abundant love, hope, and excitement,
