I agree. It's difficult to take a concept like that seriously because we've had so much exposure to it. When predictions are made with exact dates, the day passes by and we are still here. So how can we believe in the validity?Rangerkay wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 14:25 I really don't feel that he took it seriously, but I think it's hard to take seriously these days. I mean...it does seem that society is moving in that way AND almost every religion has a "doomsday" prophecy. He barely touched on any of it throughout the book and what little he did touch on made it seem as if he was "meh" about the whole idea.
Maybe part of the reason that he came across that way is because society as a whole is desensitized to the entire idea. Look at how many "end of the world" scares we have experienced since year 2k.

Maybe the development of the five human senses (as Haight shows in Warrior Meditation) will bring ecology as part of Isness. Haight talks about how all living organisms have a soul and may refer to the fact that Isness-man can interact with the organisms, therefore no need to consider ecology.
And regarding the society, he may refer to the boundaries of communities, in the sense that we will no longer need to be identified by nationality, religion, political opinion, and so on. In a dream world, we are all together. Maybe Haight in his vision detected that this "dream" term is only in the mind of mankind and there are chances to be a reality.
It can be a supposition.

Ecology, is one pillar we has humans have never seen fall and know very well we wouldn't survive yet we're still contributing to climate change. The common people refuse to make drastic changes in the voting habits to elect people who are committed to the cause and will do what they promise while big business will not compromise on their profits. Without our planet, there's no room for economy.
Society is the pillar that will be the saddest to go but we can already see within the world current political climate that society is not as calm nor as in order as we think it is. People refuse to see eye to eye on pretty much anything worth discussing. It is what it is. To be shocked that this pillar in particular is unsteady can only be attributed to complete naivety, or blatant ignorance.
In all honesty, it doesn't take a drink in the Amazon to make this apparent to anyone paying attention to what's really going on in the world. The author hasn't stated anything profound unfortunately. We're well aware of what's going on, we just don't care.

I think that's an excellent summary of the situation. I think your last two lines in particular hit the nail on the head.Essie_Reviews wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 22:42 I don't think it's anything worth worrying about. When talking about economy, we all know there are a myriad of bubbles: the financial bubble, the real estate bubble, so on and so forth. Bubbles burst and economies bust. This isn't a new phenomenon. We've moved past them. However, if the author is arguing that we wont recover from the incoming bust, then it would be because the other two pillars are imploding at the same time.

I'm glad you think so, Brendan. I just wonder, with all of these books people are writing and various other mediums where people are presenting this information to us in a more blatant way, whether there's anything anyone can say that would keep us from being complacent in our destructive tendencies. Then again, this is what wipes out every civilization at one point. It's just weird to see ours coming.Brendan Donaghy wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 02:05I think that's an excellent summary of the situation.
