The coming years represent an unprecedented break in the human journey. We are between stories - the guiding narratives that serve as beacons for our collective future. For example, the "American Dream" that pulled the U.S. forward for at least three generations is fast becoming the world's nightmare. The sad fact is that major catastrophe and personal tragedy may be required to stop us in our tracks and provide time to re-think our assumptions.

Meanwhile, we will need to be alert to the fact that dominators in positions of power - particularly those who are financially and government based - will likely attempt to manipulate interpretations and events (such as false-flag operations) to maintain their power in the face of collapse.

The reality is that, instead of a different "dream," people need wide-awake visions of real possibilities told in ways that are believable and compelling. Pain may well be the necessary catalyst that wakes us up and helps us let go of the old.

We face enormous challenges; and it will take an equally elevated and majestic vision to transform conflict into cooperation and draw us into a promising future. This will take time, sweat, and likely, tears and years.
