Snow, Good Path?

On December 30, 2006, I wrote an article about how I see Earth changes occurring and that there are two different potential paths all depending upon how we act, if we can learn to love and forgive, or if we have to keep being indifferent and hateful, and not just to our fellow humans, but all life. We really must begin to sense and feel the connectivity that we have with all things, that we are all one, and think in terms of the greater good.

This year in the Seattle area, we had Snow the latest we've ever had it in the season, into the third week of April, and yesterday, when much of the snow in the mountains is usually melted, yesterday June 11th we had two feet of fresh snow up at Stevens Pass and Snoqualmie also got some snow. For a lot of people this is disconcerting, an unfamiliar pattern, the weather is doing strange things we haven't seen. It does mean things are changing and change has the potential to be negative or positive. But I see it as a positive indication because in the dreams, I only see the increase in snowfall on the positive path.

I have to admit this is incongruent with the way things seem to feel right now. It feels like there is a terrible amount of hostility in the world and that the hostility has stepped up. But the Yin-Yang symbol I put here for a reason. The idea behind this symbol is that the seeds of change are in the present.

If you look at what we've had over the last several decades, it's been driven primarily by greed, power mongering, hatred, we've fought, stolen resources, invaded a sovereign nation and killed it's leader as well as hundreds of thousands of it's citizens.

We've not profited from this, as we've harmed other countries, so too have we harmed ourselves. We now have the largest national debt and deficit in the history of this country. We have most of the world hating us as the direct result of our actions. The US dollar isn't worth squat anymore. We've gone from being third in life expectancy to 49th over just a couple of decades. We've jailed 2% of our population, more than any other nation in the world. We now have oil prices that are more than four times higher than they were before Bush had us invade Iraq.

But there is a positive side; some people are actually starting to realize this was not such a good plan. The high cost of oil has spurred the development of sustainable alternatives. The Chinese are slated to marked a plug-in hybrid that can go 100 miles on a charge next year (while Chevy volt won't be available until 2010 and at a price of $45,000 I'm gonna bet the Chinese outsell them). Obama looks to be an interesting leader; first I've seen that seems to actually recognize that there are two sides to every conflict and first that has shown a willingness to listen to both sides. Time will tell, but maybe there is hope.

In the dreams that take the more positive path; what I see next is intensified Auroras or something that at least looks like that, or sometimes so intense that it looks like a false dusk/dawn after/before sunset/sunrise. If we see these we are on our way.
