If you haven’t noticed the increasing intensity of pandemics, storms, fires and earthquakes, you simply aren’t paying attention. If the thought that the Earth may be in trouble has crossed your mind, you are not alone. This collection of Internet Links can help put things in perspective.
While many religions of the world have foretold a time when “life as we know it” comes to an end and planetary lifeforms are tested beyond their capacity to survive, the planet itself cannot easily be destroyed. As a cosmic organism, it will evolve under prevailing conditions.
Whether this “end time thoughtform” is viewed from a religious slant or a scientific perspective, humanity is not helpless. There are things we can do individually and collectively to get through extremely challenging times. We can actually change our ways and create a better world.
