Another piece of good news. We have had great success over the decades of being able to get dwindling species to rebound when we take the right steps. Here is just one example:
America is winning the battle against overfishing. 84 fish stocks are rebounding.

- Our human nature wants progress to move boldly ahead in a straight line, like an arrow shooting from a bow. Yet that’s not how natural growth patterns work and sometimes change is imperceptible.
- There have been so many disturbing events this year, even though we have Joe Biden as President. Truly, the list goes on and on. It’s so disappointing to see so many Americans buying into white supremist conspiracy theories and refusing to take the life-saving vaccine.
- From time to time, I even wonder how on earth my own predictions about the next election can come true.
- One night recently, I went to bed thinking about these disturbing events and decided to look at the Messages to Humanity from the last small group Read the Future exercise. Without fail, every single message was about hope, about perseverance and about blessings. These messages came to members of our tribe simultaneously.
Bluebelle, I grabbed your key points because you are onto what I'm seeing: that change can be imperceptible until there is a sudden sea-change. And that nature doesn't actually move/evolve in a straight line. It evolves in a spiralic line. That is because, as you will see from the linked article below, the spiral is the most efficient way for energy to move.
Take slavery which began in 1619, with little change until the mid 1800's, and then a huge change in the 1860's. After 1865, we've seen horrific racism in this country, and with all the police killings of people of color, many think there has been no progress. Progress is spiralic, however. We seem to be back where we started at times, but stepping back, anyone can see that we have moved forward.
A spiral is a circle that moves forward. That's how the planet moves, how water goes down a drain, how hurricanes and cyclones move, how embryos grow, how galaxies are formed. And I believe that human thought also evolves in a spiral.
When we observe change, we oversimplify what we are seeing. We get into all-or-nothing thinking, and we also focus more on the negative.
We think we've gone backwards with the voting restrictions and the Texas abortion bans, the conspiracy theories abounding over the vaccine, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory.
We feel like we're back where we started, i.e, that we've come full circle. But we are not back where we started. We elected Biden and saw a Congressional sweep. So much has changed already.
So it looks like we have gone in a circle, that we are right back where we started. But we are not where we started. That circle is moving forward. Spirals are circles that move forward.
In the linked article by blogger Sam Woolfe, he points out that spirals are the most efficient way for energy to move. The spiral staircase is the most efficient way to get from one floor to the next. So there's an underlying physics to this movement. I am suggesting that human thought is also evolving in a spiral.
I think that my 2014 vision that showed how we as a collective moved toward the pandemic and will move towards a new paradigm, was following a spiral.
Here is the article by Sam Woolfe: Why do spirals exist everywhere in nature?
That is really fascinating what you say about spirals.
It's funny how there is so many clues all around us as you described.
I see spirals also when I receive reiki from someone.
Speaking of galaxies etc as per the link you provided, I wonder if we will ever find out white holes really exist (The opposite of black holes)?
I noticed that Jane Goodall, the great primatologist, is also quite optimistic about the earth, and this is coming from someone who has been so concerned about the loss of habitat and biodiversity throughout her long career. Her four reasons for hope: (1) the amazing human intellect; (2) the resilience of nature; (3) the power of young people; and (4) the indomitable human spirit. I love this! https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2021/10/19/jane-goodall-book-climate-change/
If anyone wants to read the article and can't due to the paywall, I will copy it for you. She is a beautiful human with a great spirit. She is 87!
@jeanne-mayell I love this....and like so many here I've always been fascinated by spirals. Thank you for tagging me. I love reading all the replies! And yes...Jane Goodall is a beautiful human that gives me hope.
The vortex/spiral discussion is fascinating and intriguing, and I will read all of it later, but I need to point out that Nassim Haramein is not a physicist or any other kind of qualified scientist; he is at best a pseudo-scientist, but I won't go further because I don't want to drag the discussion down. Please do a bit of checking on his real background before using him as a source for anything more complicated that gin rummy.
@jeanne-mayell I just read the Jane Goodall interview in the Washington Post link and this jumped out at me especially:
Q: You write in the book that you feel that you have been personally guided by a higher intelligence.
A: I don’t know what to call this higher being, but I feel it very much in the forest, this deep spiritual connection. I love it that so many top scientific brains that have also come to this conclusion that there is an intelligence behind the universe. Einstein was one. Francis Collins, the Director of NIH, who unraveled the human genome, started as an agnostic and ended up being convinced that there is a higher being.
She talks about the spiritual energy in forests! Holy cow. We talk about this all the time as well as higher spiritual powers and beings.
I followed Haramein a number of years ago because intuitively his vision of how things worked fit how thought evolves. He never spoke about the evolution of thought, but I see how his vision of physics fits.
He was the first to bring in ancient discoveries to the discussion, as did Isaac Newton in his day. He's been debunked by conventional physicists who also debunk anyone who deviates from convention. Conventional scientists also debunked Rupert Sheldrake and anyone who writes about psychic science. Marconi who invented the wireless communication was also widely ridiculed and debunked in his day for being an amateur, until his theories were put into practice.
Sometimes we need people outside the conventional spheres to break us out of the conventional thinking. Haramein's ideas have been helpful to the discussion, even if conventional physicists don't like him. Perhaps just read the main part of the discussion and leave Haramein out of it since he is not essential although his vision has been good. It was his idea that sparked my own hypothesis regarding how collective movements evolve.

I love this. Thank you for it. I had hoped when I started this thread that this amazing community would take it further. So awesome.
