Don Quixote said, “Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory.”

From an esoteric perspective, humanity is exactly where it should be.

We must address the karma we inherited from our collective, ancient past. It is humanity’s responsibility to balance it.

Our future depends upon the cycle of time we are experiencing and the challenges that will be created by the new incoming, universal forces. We slowly transition out of the old and into the new, like the waxing and waning of the Moon, and crises are inevitable.

Our individual choices in the present will depend upon our level of development. The crisis of meaning is the next stage of our collective evolution of consciousness. It can be felt as strife, anxiety, depression, and an overwhelming sense of loss. Ordinary life no longer makes sense.

Esoteric knowledge of our Path of Evolution will help us navigate through the chaos for a greater collective purpose. Thanks for your interesting and informative article.

I don’t believe in karma but actions do have consequences! I agree with the meaning in this case.

Karma has a deeper meaning to it and is not a punishment. In the Metaphysical Sciences it is known as the Universal Law of Cause and Effect. We observe its physical reflections in Newton’s Third Law of Motion…to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Great article. Taking specific note of this line: "The future depends not only on what we build, but on who is building it and what they are building it for." So true.

Activists have not done a great job of making a plan of action that actually helps change our system from the old, into the new.Sorry to say. But we will still press on and try.

Great article. As with many of my own articles, the thought often begins with the individual, in this case, the self, and then gradually expands outward to society as a whole.

So, let me share three articles, which I’ll post as separate comments. The first explores what I call our personal End-Game Strategy, the stage of life when priorities, purpose, and the meaning of success begin to change.

The second moves from the individual to the nation and considers how the United States should approach its Middle-Game Strategy.

After all, life, whether personal or national, is much like chess. The opening establishes our position, the middle game tests our judgment and adaptability, and the endgame reveals the consequences of the moves we made along the way.

And when the middle game is played poorly, history offers plenty of opportunities to study the consequences. I explore that broader historical arc in another article through the stages of Athens, Istanbul, and Paris, civilizations and centers of power whose trajectories preceded the American experiment. This is addressed on the third article.

Different articles, perhaps, but ultimately variations of the same question:

Where are we on the board, and are we thinking far enough ahead about the consequences of our next move?
