A Vision for Society (What The Future May Hold In Store…)

by Guest Contributor Walter H Groth

Many of us can feel the changes we are experiencing since we entered the new millennium, and we wonder what it is. What’s going on around us? I still remember the last day of the old millennium when we were discussing what we could expect, and some of us said that it would not be a big deal…just business as usual. But it was certainly more than that. We are going through a major transition in all aspects of our lives, politically, economically, culturally and of course societal.

Never before did we have such rapid advancements in technology, and countries we considered “the third world” are now on the verge of becoming economic super powers. In our countries, the economies no longer provide a large enough number of jobs, but due to the globalization are exporting those jobs to those countries where labor is still cheap. Yet consumption is still going up and up and we still believe in the promise of unlimited growth without consequences. On the other hand, the damage we are inflicting on the environment is already beyond imagination and, if we don’t finally act upon on a worldwide scale, we are heading for disaster. Politically our world is divided in mainly two groups: the “Have’s” and the “Have not’s”, the latter being by far the larger group of people. The stress on our society thus is steadily increasing and like in all systems it is going to break. The question is not if, but when this is going to take place.

So we have some difficulties here to solve: How can we achieve a more equal distribution of the benefits available to us between the richer and the poorer countries/people? Are the rich countries and rich people willing and prepared to share more of what they have for the benefit of all involved? Are the poor countries and the poor people prepared and willing to contribute for a better world by getting the education and the understanding required? How do we convince the leaders of the governments, the corporations, and the affluent individuals that our actual course of action is leading us into a dead end?

I am envisioning a “world-society” open to true wealth, which consists of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual realms. I am envisioning a society that encourages teaching how to think, thus changing radically the actual concepts of education. I am envisioning a society dedicated to protect our environment and creating the necessary structures to rebuild what has been already destroyed. I am envisioning a society where the individual is listened to and counts. I am envisioning a society promoting the peaceful coexistence of all of us, since we are all equal and coming from the very same source.

Can all this be achieved? I have no doubt about it. It requires commitment from each and everybody to raise our awareness and become conscious of who we really are. It is in our hands to decide our fate as mankind and the time is now! We have to take action and not wait for our neighbor to start, because as always charity begins at home.

For the first time in history, we have the advanced technology available to make this transition into a better world for all of us. Governments won’t just do anything if there is no clearly stated will of those who vote. Let’s listen to the voice of our souls! For many of us, our lives feel empty because we lost the connection to our spirituality thus concentrating on monetary issues only and believing that this would make us happy. It we truly want to be happy, we have to look inside ourselves as opposed to watch the effects in our so-called “real world”. Quantum Physics nowadays is providing us with a picture of reality, which has absolutely nothing to do with our common understanding. So let’s use the knowledge we have and create a world where it will be a joy for anybody on this planet to live. I have faith that together we can achieve this, if we truly want to. It’s up to any one of us to make a difference and together we will conquer ourselves!
