Predictions and Positive Thinking

People have asked me lately why I make predictions about "negative things" like floods and ship wrecks and an imploding economy run by professional thieves with nice shoes. The reason: they are the images that jump out to me and, sadly, they are both newsworthy and impact a lot of people.

You could look at it as a warning -- a "head's up", in the case of the economy my advice to wait a bit in 2007 and 2008 to buy a house or this Winter "if you live near a river or at the foot of a hill, don't leave your valuables in the basement" . . . but that would assume there is a value to what we say in regards to future planning.

But psychics are not about "planning" in most people's minds. That is left to experts, "talking heads" who typically know less than the cab driver who took you to the airport or the man fixing your toilet because it is usually people outside the system who see it best. They have less investment in protecting the status quo when it is painfully obvious that we are in a "shift" like nothing anyone's ever seen.

Thomas Kuhn talked about this 50 years ago when he came up with the concept of "paradigm shifts".

Anyway . . . to quote another thinker and philosopher "the times, they are a changin" and, right now, all the dark boogey man spiders in the night thoughts one could have are playing out in technicolor all across the globe.

Economic meltdown? Check

Environmental catastrophes? Check

Forced child prostitution? Check.

Forced child prostitution? Yes -- and this isn't some random thing in some far away place like Romania or Somalia but right in our own backyards. Fifteen year old girls (or even younger sometimes) are being pimped out to 75 year old men all across the country, in nice little suburbs in Kansas City and Tacoma and Dallas and, really, all over. We have a "sick society" -- one in which every vice is publicly condemned, yet those throwing the biggest stones pull the curtains down in their glass houses and do terrible things.

I was told over and over two years ago that I was being negative -- that if I only "thought positive" then the economy would surely be fixed and who was I to think (or say -- OUT LOUD) that it wouldn't. We're America and dad gummit -- God likes US. U.S. -- US.

Well the floods and earthquakes will continue; that is out of our hands -- and dirty dealing behind the scenes financial chicanery and exploitation of pretty little girls will continue, but that IS something we could do something about but to acknowledge our power to intervene would suggest that things are not good and well, that's just plain negative thinking.

The reason many of my predictions are not roses and puppy dogs stems from this fact. The hidden in our world is now predominantly dark and until we as a collective wake up and embrace our inner light and stop expecting things to be fixed by experts -- predictions of economic implosions and unethical behavior will, sadly, continue to have a high probability of coming to pass :(

Right thought, right action. It is time to wake up. It is time to act.
