Hindsight is 20/20, as we all know, but sometimes foresight is, too.

In February this year, in a blog post entitled 2011: The Year Kansas Goes Bye-bye, I wrote:

The timeframe around 2012 is not about global disaster, but global healing (which can involve some discomfort as toxins are expelled from the planetary body).

To the extent that 2011-13 is about 'apocalypse,' we must understand this word in its most literal, etymological sense as a period of 'revelation.'

And indeed, what is not being revealed these days—from the endemic fraud in our financial systems, to corruption at our highest governmental levels, to the genocidal and delusional intentions of a tiny group of individuals who consider themselves the Elites but, in reality, are about to get up close and personal with the medieval Wheel of Fortune?

At the time of penning these thoughts, I had no way of knowing that the national and global movement the Elites had feared so long that would help precipitate their downfall would be called Occupy Wall Street.

But along with everyone else who was paying attention to the unprecedented events of the Arab Spring, in correlation with the greater cosmic cycles having to do with the current Shift of the Ages, it was a good bet that an American Autumn was on its way.

In a second blog, What's Really Happening in Our World?, also from February, I addressed the mainstream as well as the alternative media's spin on current events—which, in my opinion, often reveals a severely warped view of reality calculated to maintain the status quo through fear in the face of overwhelmingly positive tides of change:

If you have so much as dipped your toe into Internet media, you've probably read enough … dire prognostications for a lifetime of twisted dreams.

Of course, the so-called Elites behind the mainstream media have both fostered and capitalized on the tendency, so prevalent in those just awakening spiritually, to nose-dive into the negative—rendering everyday news coverage every bit as frightening as the cinematic horror and violence they unceasingly fund.

Many movies and TV shows in particular these days, such as 2012 and V, have virtually become self-parodies of 'doom-and-gloom' Internet 'conspiracy theories.'

The single biggest problem with such theoretically possible, but statistically improbable, scenarios is that they all really have nothing whatsoever to do with what's actually occurring in our world to initiate so much wondering uncertainty and wild speculation.

The simple fact is that the earth and all her inhabitants, including ourselves, are being exposed to a very rare frequency increase that is in the process of evolving everything: our way of thinking, relationships, monetary systems, governments, and even bodies.

As our entire solar system orbits into a zone of enhanced energy, which has been identified through a groundbreaking reinterpretation of redshift science, everything we have thought of as immutable is rapidly undergoing an ultimately favorable transmutation to a higher order of being.

If you're the least bit sensitive energetically, you've probably felt these surging cosmic waves in your life and perhaps even in your physicality.

Various ancient wisdom traditions compare this energy to a 'purifying fire' that first purges and makes clean, before any sustained rebuilding or regeneration can occur. The purifying fires burn not just individuals, but entire systems and societies, preparing them for rebirth and renewed growth.

Thus we can experience any number of breakdowns in our relationships, professions, and bodies—all of which can be quite traumatic—before we begin the process of breakthrough.

In a blog from August, First Breakdown, then Breakthrough, I discussed this crucial dynamic:

In the spirit of Carl Jung, I've been saying and writing for years that breakdown is a prerequisite for breakthrough.

This is a universal truth, as far as I can tell, that operates both on the 'macro' and 'micro' scale. Or as the ancients said, 'As above, so below.'

Presently, lo and behold, as seen in the crumbling-in-real-time world economy, we're finally reaching the proverbial moment of breakdown.

Can you hear the sucking sound at the center of global finance? That's the cosmic vacuum cleaner come to suction up the mess that has become of our social systems.

This, on the heels of the bubbling up into public awareness of such epic levels of greed and corruption on the part of the elite that the mind simply boggles.

I know people are scared we're all going to hell in a hand basket. But I don't think that is what's going on here.

Something else, something wonderful is transpiring. A new world is being created out of the ashes of the old. Right now, it's just a little hard to see for the smoke in our eyes.

Returning to the subject of the American Autumn and Occupy Wall Street, some in the alternative media have claimed that this movement is a psy-op, a form of controlled opposition carefully orchestrated by the Powers that Be.

I find this position not only absurd, but itself a psy-op, a form of controlled opposition carefully orchestrated by the Powers that Be.

To the contrary, there is every reason to believe Occupy Wall Street is the real deal and has the Elites scared … witless.

Even the economic crisis, mired in all manner of fraudulent activities by the greedy Elites, that directly gave rise to Occupy Wall Street, in my view, is not wholly a purposeful creation of the Banksters to induce chaos and reestablish control.

David Wilcock, Benjamin Fulford and others have argued for some time that an alliance of nations centering the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have been putting a hard squeeze on the rogue Western regime based in large measure on Wall Street.

As I continued in my blog from August,

I can't bring myself to believe—despite the arguments made by a vocal minority of Internet conspiracy theorists—that the global fiscal implosion in process right now is purely by design of the so-called Illuminati.

Even if this financial crisis were planned, as David Wilcock has pointed out, the world economy is, fortunately, a complex adaptive system.

A hallmark of complex adaptive systems, a concept that has been studied rigorously, is that they cannot be manipulated in a mechanical manner.

In other words, they cannot be controlled so as to produce a preordained outcome.

Think of a house of cards falling. That's what the global economy based on debt and fiat currency is, anyway.

You might be able to make a house of cards fall. But it's virtually impossible to predict the exact nature of the 'hand' the falling cards will create.

Will you be dealt a full house? straight aces? or a fold?

See the problem with playing God? Playing God is just another way of saying playing with fire. And much more than fingers can get burned.

While we're at it, let's get another thing straight. The planetary economic system is a form of slavery (if not an outright death sentence) for the vast majority of the world's population.

If you don't know what I mean, please, wake up.

The old system needs to crash and burn. I can't emphasize this point enough. And if we have a soul at all, we need to be willing to let it.

While I mean 'crash and burn' rather literally (think: Fight Club), I definitely don't feel we're headed into a decade-long Great Depression or a post-apocalyptic world.

My understanding is that new systems and technologies—better systems and technologies—have been in preparation for many long years waiting for this very moment to arrive.

Doom-and-gloomers (many of whom are probably on the payroll) who insist the world will spiral into chaos and darkness in the aftermath of the breakdown fail to realize that even our existing technologies, such as the Internet, will allow us to reorganize our society—in short order and for the betterment of all—like a truly complex adaptive system.

So, when do I believe events will come to a head and we'll see some real change in an undeniably egalitarian direction?

Given a choice between sooner and later, I'm voting for sooner. Based on my present understanding of the end of this precession of the equinoxes, I'm guessing we'll see some fireworks by 2014 at the latest. But that's about as specific as I can get.

As for dates for global transformation that have come and gone after much attention and speculation, as Carl Johan Calleman's date of October 28 is likely to do in a little over a week, in my opinion, timing is bitch.

But that doesn't mean that our hopeful prophets are madmen or fools—just that their watches are a little off.

As I put it in April in The Importance of Being Imminent,

Clever skeptics have suggested that these messages are a form of shadow government psy-op to keep the masses drowsy—and not taking to the streets—through regular doses of 'hopium.'

Not only is it now apparent that hopium failed miserably to keep the streets of the world clear, but

[I]t's one thing to get the exact dates of a transformational window wrong, and quite another to intentionally plant disinformation.

Far be it from me to wholly discount such messages simply because their timing seems a little off. In the grand scheme of things, we're talking about a monumental transition between World Ages, each lasting thousands of years.

What are a few months, or even a few years, spent in anticipation of a new beginning that, when it finally comes, will make everything we went through while waiting seem more than worth it?

In the meantime, if you agree with me that things can't change fast enough, and would like to help speed things along, please, let your voice be heard!

You'll probably encounter some belittlement and sarcasm from the somnambulists still out there who, despite alarm bells ringing nonstop everywhere, somehow have managed to remain fast asleep.

Fortunately, their wake-up, like the wholesale change bearing down on our civilization, is imminent, whatever that means. You can bank on it.

If you become a little too lathered up—which I, being an unapologetic Indigo, did in a recent blog—

I say, you also may get a heavy dose of judgment from spiritual apologists who insist that everyone's perspective must be honored and that the change is happening anyway, so why stress about it?

In my life and work, I've promoted unity consciousness and unconditional love for many years as a path to personal and planetary healing and transformation.

I believe that to love one's neighbor, even a really rotten neighbor, as oneself is good advice. Damned hard to do, but excellent advice.

Yet there are boundaries involving personal dignity and human rights—which we must maintain if we are to reach our full potential, individually and collectively—that are appropriate and healthy.

To fail to respect these boundaries on an ongoing basis is not to be loving, and certainly not to be 'enlightened.' It is to love neither yourself nor your neighbor—and ultimately to promote not evolution, but devolution.

Think about it. Even Jesus kicked ass in the Temple. And I offer that if Jesus were among us today, he would join Occupy Wall Street.

Despite new age dogma, not all truths are relative. To a large extent, we do create our reality. But simultaneously, reality creates us as well. Therein lies the rub.

Even in a malleable matrix conditioned by our thoughts and beliefs, in addition to universal truths, there are undeniable, localized truths called facts—many of an unpleasant nature relative to how We the People have been abused by our 'leaders' that are finally coming to light and are no longer subject to the 'divide-and-conquer' dialectic known as debate.

Soon any discussion will cease to be about what has been done, which is becoming increasingly obvious by the day, and will switch to what is to be done: with the convicted perpetrators of crimes against humanity, with our fraudulently decimated property records, with the many houses that sit empty as people starve on the sidewalks, with our Big Pharma 'sick care' system that, to paraphrase Matt Taibbi's description of Goldman Sachs, is like a great vampire squid sucking the lifeblood out of the populace.

I don't for a minute think we're alone in this fight. I know from personal experience there are benevolent higher forces at work in this exciting and challenging metamorphosis we're experiencing.

I also know that help comes to those who help themselves. And there are as many ways to help ourselves as there are people.

Please join me and millions more in freeing ourselves, both the face in the mirror and our brothers and sisters, in whatever way feels good to you.
