As we start on a new leg of the Neo-Con Rockem-Sockem World Tour, sponsored by Chevron and Goldman Sachs, it becomes more and more obvious, to me, anyway, why I have tried so hard to stop making political predicitions and commentary. Over the past 4 years, I have given my speeches, made my predictions, listened to all the naysayers tell me I'm wrong, or unpatriotic, or just plain flat out crazy (or, what was meant to really "get" me, someone who didn't "think positive").
But I wasn't wrong . . . and my predictions later, at least regarding wars and economics, proved to be incredibly, almost eerily, accurate.
I have said 2011 is going to be a magical time, the start of something positive . . . of course, it is starting out a lot like the other years when I made a series of predicitons considered almost too dark to even consider . . . but in 2007, saying things were going in to the shitter was a warning; it was meant to help people adapt to large-scale changes that were, at minimum, inconvenient but, for many, mind-blowing life-altering land mines.
I tried to help people understand what was happening and how they could mitigate some of the fall-out by taking action. Some got it; most didn't . . . but that's my "job" -- to try and help people. I am not obligated to say everything I "see", nor is it really ethical to do so, but I felt then that I needed to say what I was seeing and try to make sense of the storm clouds I saw so clearly blowing our way. My job, first and foremost, is to try to help people and that takes many forms.
But now, more than ever, I feel I can be most "helpful" not by saying this bad thing is going to happen or THIS bad thing is going to happen but instead by focusing on the power of happiness and love and standing firm in this space.
My ego is better served by making predictions to show I was right . . . prove I'm a psychic badass.
But, for now, that is not how I see myself. Now, more than ever, it is my ability to see the good, the silver lining in the black cloud (which has been my mantra for personal readings all throughout my career), and express that, forcefully and consistently -- that is the arena in which I feel, now, I can do the most "good".
This madness will pass. We will love and sing and feel joy once more. Please don't forget that.
In 2007, my role was Cassandra, sounding a warning that was both true and unbelievable, but I had to do it -- partly because I felt it was important but also because, in retrospect, it adds to my "street cred" as someone who knows (or at least knew then) what he's talking about.
I am hopeful that crediblity carries forward now. Please believe me when I say that we can find a happy future. But it comes with a price.
The price? Being honest about the present.
And, sadly, that is not a price most can pay :(
They will ask you
what you have produced.
Say to them,
except for Love,
what else can a Lover produce?
