Dare To Dream: A Vision Of The World

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

– Albert Einstein

Many people seem to believe that if we continue the way we all live today, we will eventually destroy planet earth, or at least make this world uninhabitable for human race. You know what? I totally agree with them.

But I also see things changing already. I see more and more people who are awaking, and who realize that there is desperate need for change. And I see things changing for the better - and a lot of things! Have you realized, too, that there is something huge to happen right now?

Just to prevent misunderstandings: I’m not talking about the next days, months or even years. I’m talking of the next few generations, although things are already accelerating and I totally expect us to see some amazing changes during the next few years, and even more during the next few decades.

What the world will look like in 500 years

Of course I can’t predict the future - no one can as long as there’s free will in place. But if the things that I see evolving right now continue, in 500 years most of our present problems will be solved.

I see humanity living in a world at peace, since we all realized that war will only bring more suffering to the world. The material needs of everybody are taken care of, and poverty doesn’t exist anymore. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we all live in material abundance (although that will happen eventually since abundance is the natural state of the universe), but that we have enough to get by without suffering.

This will eventually enable people to focus on self actualization and personal growth instead of material security.

Love, compassion and trustfulness will become some of the core values of the united world.

We will have taken care of environmental issues, population explosion, hunger and a lot more! People will not only take full responsibility for their own lives, but as well they will feel responsible for the good of others and humanity at large. “For the higher good” will be words you might hear quite often.

Sound good, eh?

How could this ever become true?

You probably can’t imagine how things could change that drastically. There’s crime, pollution, war, poverty, hunger, and a lot of other things you rather don’t see? I won’t deny that. But if I believe in one thing, it’s change. Things always changed, they are changing now, and they will ever be.

Have you ever seen someone realizing that something’s fundamentally wrong, and then changing their whole life as a result of this? Or even see them realizing something smaller - like smoking has already deeply impacted their health, and they eventually threw away their last cigarette and never lit another?

That’s what I mean when I speak of people awakening. And I see it happening all the time, and in more and more profound ways. People realize what is really important to them, and that it is something totally different from what their current life looks like. And if only some of them really take the consequences and change their situation as a result, things will eventually evolve for the better.

And even it things go worse short term, that doesn’t mean that they can’t become better long term, does it?
