What does the Economic Collapse Mean?

Posted on September 18, 2008

We are now riding a tide of change, and the quaking of the Materialistic World gives us indications of where that change could be heading. Western culture has built within its collective consciousness a false perspective of life. Our economic materialistic traditions have manifested an outward look upon life, where everything external to us has a value which can be weighed or balanced. With enough time, it was only natural that such an outlook would eventually cause time, pain, suffering and even human life to be perceived in terms of a value which can be weighed or balanced.

This system has proven to be not only ineffective, but completely destructive upon the human spirit and soul. This system, driven by complete greed and the desire for domination has been pushed beyond the threshold of what the population is capable of enduring and supporting. Most people can see this now as the house of cards is collapsing - the flaws are there for all to see. And though the collapse will take a few more years to unfold, whilst there will no doubt be many people in denial of what is occurring, it is now a readily apparent fact; the global power system is breaking apart.

The question then, is not one of panic or fear - but rather a question of opportunity; where do we go from here?

There are a number of scenarios. As the world starts dropping the US Dollar, a new currency will need to take its place - maybe a temporary return to the gold standard. But a new currency is not enough - an entirely new system will need to be built. Will it be one that is centrally controlled, via a European Union, and a North American Union?

Or will we see a different future? An economic collapse will bring with it unimagined problems, and in this there is an opportunity to learn a great lesson; the outward external gaze of western thinking has brought us to this place. This realization will spread across the entire planet, and slowly the trouble and suffering will cause humanity’s gaze to once again turn inwards - and with it we will have all the knowledge we have gained from the past century. If we, as a race chose this path then we will indeed have the potential to build an amazing future.

I agree completely with the sickness this system has created in society. My outlook currently isnt too optimistic I believe with almost complete conviction that humanity will grasp onto this system with all its energy as if its life depended on it instead of taking the conscious decision to just let it go. and because of that the ultimate outcome will be negative a reformed system with further consolidated wealth and an even greater increase of a state of artificial lack.

God will always honor free will and so as nice it is to hope this is the end of the elite and the beginning of a life of abundance it simply will not be so if the people are not choosing it with their will, which they are not from my experience. When surfing the web it may seem many people are and many people are yet the true multitudes are not they really are not they want more they haven’t learnt the lesson its only fair they have more another 200 years maybe then they get to make the choice again the problem is God is infinite but its patience is not and our time IS allotted

I think it very much depends on the time-frame we view this in. I don’t mention a time-frame in my post - which was a general outline of my thoughts, rather than anything specific.

I actually feel that this will play out over the next 30 to 50 years. We are now at the start of a transition period where we are moving away from the existing system and into something else.

Most likely as you point out - a more controlled system. My feeling is that such a system won’t last more than a few decades. By around 2038 or so I suspect we will see the start of a new way of life emerging.

So in the short term things may not be so bright - but we need to pass through that to get to the other side. It’s over the next 30 years where the majority of people will ‘wake up’. At least I hope so.

This is an excellent assessment I agree with totally. Everything necessary is said in very few powerful and inspiring words.

As to the time frame you were asked about - (as a mundane astrologer I can help) - the most volatile years are until 2020, when Saturn closes its waning cycle onto Pluto in the sign Saturn rules, Capricorn. Complete collapse is in early 2011.

The next full decade and more is for sure how long it will take to create a new economy. I agree that a wider more advanced consciousness is in the making over one human life time, or an Uranus cycle, by 2050-2080.

There is a correlation between Saturn / Pluto waning cycles when in Capricorn, and economies worldwide as juxtaposed to world trends over say 2,500 years we are able to compare the last eleven Pluto cycles. (Pluto takes 250 years for the whole Zodiac and is thus in Caricorn once every 250 years.)

This time the situation is also massively triggered by Uranus, adding to an explosive mix of economic consciousness.

This is an outstanding statement everyone should read. Brilliant web site also.

Peace

Thanks for the words and for sharing this very pertinent information Michael!

Everything appears to be timed towards a great convergence, through which many aspects - global, cultural, social and individual - are culminating. It’s the pathway into a new global consciousness which will be united in both the physical and the spiritual realms. It’s a balance which can already be felt if one is so inclined.

We are where we are meant to be…

It’s ironic this way:

Suppose you do for a living the thing you enjoy, as a service to mankind, out of joy and passion for helping others and working toward the greater good of mankind and mother earth.

Now let’s assume a collapsed economy. Would you not continue to perform the duties you have decided for yourself to be worthwhile? Now you may not be rewarded in currency, but if each and everyone still works toward the goal of helping each other, the reward still comes in some material form.

Now let’s assume your chosen duties in life were to manipulate people for finacial gain in the form of monetary reward. What to you do now? There is no money left to pillage. Your “job” is obsolete. You may not have even basic survival skills. You are now at the mercy of the kind-hearted.

Do you think the manipulator will fall to their knees when they tables have turned? I don’t know. But it certainly is easy for me to see how collapse of the current system could play out to be beneficial and a valuable lesson on a spiritual level. I whole-heartedly belive there’s a better way and it’s coming……

The economic changes reflect an increasing spiritual awareness of humanity. Growing consciousness means people are choosing to shift focus away from the material world. Those people who are attuning to energy vibrations recognize this has far-reaching implications that mean our very make-up is transforming into something incredible.

if we can revere the life we are given and trust that life spirit, no matter what, the whole planet sings and even our little wounds heal quickly. In our healing we heal a part of the greater organism. In suffering and guilt of the plight of others we do not honour them or give to them but lower the overall light energy of the organism. Dark energy is everywhere, fear and judgement, jealousy and meanness. Every day have have many choices towards wisdom and intelligence. A choice based on love and excitement for the life that runs in our veins, honours our own life and life itself, Any minute, any experience cannot be compared or weighed against any other persons experience except in a very superficial way. We do not know the whole truth of anything, but only witness cause and effect, and grow towards a gratitude and awe. We are energetic little electrical sparks, part of each and every one of us coming from stardust that swam in the galaxies millions of years ago.We are little creators who in the light of love glow and can cause miraculous creation. In memory we keep our mistakes and learning but must be careful not to hold too tightly and recreate, but learn and imagine and transform into a new and enlifened world. Transformation is the path of energy. Everything transforms.
