The Wheel of Evolution

Several noteworthy articles that I want to share:

*  One of our most influential science advisors (advises the Secretary of State office), Ms. Federoff said that the population now at 6.8 billion exceeds Earth's 'limits of sustainability', especially with fresh drinking water. The net daily population growth is 218k with a forecast of 9 billion 2040.  

*  Scientists predict that by September 2037, nearly all the sea-free-ice in Arctica will be gone.

*  By 2048, stocks of currently fished wild seafood species will collapse.

*  There is intense discussion as to whether oil has peaked; notable experts say that it did in 2005.  With India coming out with an affordable car for their people in July, and China becoming a major player in vehicle production, the U.S. is headed for a radical change given that we consume about 26% of the daily oil extracted.

These are a few examples of what comprises our full plate as a country and world.  We're looking at a span of almost 40 years here. For those of you who are less than age 50, you will mostly likely be living through these events or situations. I see this period as an intense time for change that is necessary for all of us.  If we incorporate our soul view with the personality view in how we relate to humanity and the use of the earth's resources, we will see the benefit of all that occurs.  I trust that our collective consciousness will expand to meet the challenge of what is necessary in order to benefit not only humans, but all inhabitants living here.  

My mother-in-law's son, my ex-husband, will be arriving today to visit her in Hawaii.
