Envisioning the future

The Earth has truly evolved along with all its inhabitants! It is lush green and more fertile than what it used to be! The environment is well balanced and free of any threats to it! It is truly a home, worth living in! There are no instances of pollution in any form.

The number of inhabitants, however, has drastically reduced with very few people and animals. They live in groups, at peace with one another, with a very high regard for the environment around them. They live in harmony, free from anger, hatred, confusion, disease, despair and sorrow! No traces of any negative energy exist!

People are in constant interaction with one another and live very content lives. Their focus is on intellectual development, education, arts, culture, heritage and the likes. In essence, there is a lot of emphasis on development, intellectual and spiritual. Strangely, physical attributes are not accorded much significance. This is a different realm, a higher level of consciousness altogether!

Most importantly, there is infinite peace and harmony like never before and a strong sense of contentment prevails.

This, my friends, is a vision of reality in the not so distant future of our planet and most importantly, our own lives!

It appears difficult to comprehend, but the possibility is very real! Take a few moments to envision in picture what you have read and experience the warmth that is associated with the thoughts!

Having said that, I'd like to draw your attention to the present, which is without doubt the most important aspect of our lives. How we live out our present will define the future that we desire and thus it is important to focus on the present more than the past and the future, which, in effect, have bygone and will emerge sooner in time, respectively!

Footnotes:

This is a reference to an original vision mentioned in one of the works of Dr. Brian L. Weiss, of whom I have written in the immediately preceding post! I have deliberately not included the subjects here or for that matter, the title of the book itself! Also, this post is not a verbatim replica of that mentioned in the book. I have read the contents of the book extensively and reproduced it here with the help of my cognitive imagination, purely for the sake of representation and visualization, since it greatly comforted me to do so, and was reasonably sure it would be of the same effect to many of you!

  1. This greatly comforts me too....and its MY DREAM, even if, or rather knowing fully well, I may not be a part of it!

    Nice post for a Monday morning, Rak :)

  2. Actually, this is just that - a dream. Not possible as long as you're talking about humans. Inherent human nature is to want, to be loved, to be greedy, to be superior...

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yes, agreed....I accept all inherent human nature and mostly submit myself to others' to the extent possible...But then I too am a human being, finally....and the animal stands out at times :)

    Indeed - This is very comforting and something that I strongly believe in! Don't be so sure that you may not be part of it......I wouldn't reveal it here, for I'd want you to read DBW's books first and then automatically understand!

    And I wouldn't doubt this one bit!

    I'm not sure you want to be so sure of a future and people, unknown and unseen!

    The future definitely can be better....don't you think?

  6. The quest for knowing is a little less now, Rak...but i'll read him someday,

    "I'm not sure you want to be so sure of a future and people, unknown and unseen!"

    "The future definitely can be better....don't you think?"

    IT SHOULD BY ALL MEANS BE BETTER....

    I am one who can be non-present (its not absence), if thats for the better of someone else....But there I am not getting an answer :(

  7. Not that I am a lover of upheavels but if there is contentment in every aspect of living then development will stop .. In my view we need a dash of angst to keep us going. This vision is boringly comfortable.. hehe

    but good that you posted it .. it made me think for the first time that this could be even possible..

  8. For a minute there, I thought you were describing earth in its pre historic age. LOL. I know we are on our way to those ages now and it wouldnt be too long before we make it up there.

    Yes please, do read DBW's books on opportunity!

    And yes, like you said "It should be better by all means."

    And true, the presence will not be in the same person as today.....maybe someone else.....perhaps!

    Perhaps, thats because of our conditioning in the present scenario?

    What would the need be for more once fully content?

    Think about it!

  17. well I dream something like that. I dream that the political barriers between countries are thrown away. Wars and arms are kept in the Museaum and people coming out of it laugh a lot. They do it thinking how foolish were people( improved Animals) were. They fought for a pece of land. I am now following your blog it is very much interesting.

    It appears, certainly, that what you envision will come true indeed! The presence of barriers of all kinds will become irrelevant and alongside, many such welcome changes will be in the offing!

    Thanks very much for your visit and thoughtful comments!

  21. Oh picture if earth like that is beautiful...your right how we live our present defines how we will our future!!

    nice blog!!

  22. It's a great dream..
    going by the current trends, I remain skeptical though..

    ReplyDelete
  23. The question is whether we would be still there to see the dream become a reality?

    If we look at the present it shows a very grim reality.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Well, the vision of What Could Be contrasted to What Is, is the preceding step to action. So there's its value.

    Yes, mere picturization alone is so reassuring..... such an existence will truly be bliss!

    It is indeed a wonderful dream and you need to believe in it! A little bit of skepticism will lead you to become a non-believer!

    Oh, I'm sure we will be! Though, not in the present form!

    And don't go by what the present situation is..... the future will certainly be better!

  29. For me, present is perfect, but dun't know about future.

  30. We dream, but we can’t believe all dreams truly exist and we can give shape to our imagination, and not a life. We all seek for development, but never care that much for destruction, like every creature has there space to live; we go beyond our space and extend our community by destroying others. we like to control the universe, so thus these negative changes in mass and harmony.

    Well written bro! More than rising up and recession, we need sustain balance first.

    It is important to believe for it serves as a precursor to reality!

    In this case, you need to!

  32. WOW! It's really so comforting....I seriously wish THIS DREAM TO COME TRUE...And I believe it is certainly possible, if we desire for it.

    Thanks a lot for sharing... It definitely creates positive vibes in us :-)

    Great post mate!
