I had the challenge of getting polio before the vaccine. By great fortune, I have been able to live a normal life.

Planning for that kind of fall is an apocalyptic roulette. (I wrote a novel on this subject that takes place in the year 2054.)

Trump in Dallas, upgraded his 2021 rebellious talk. Instead of saying 'Fight like hell, or you won't have a country anymore', he now says, "Cheat like hell, or I won't have my country anymore."

7/11 was the 2020s and 30s. To my great sadness, the quality of life that arose is playing out now with extreme politics and the degradation of Earth’s capacity to absorb the activity (a euphemism) of the human species. A pivotal moment was foreseen to be in 2028, when China simply took Taiwan.

6/11 ...it might have been seen as simple karma. But the leftover hatred, fear, and desperation took hold, and the parties of the alliance attacked each other until all governments were devoured AND HERE WE ARE I raise this because the vision’s timeframe of dissolution was the 2020s and 30s.

2/11 But this vision was based on the systems of knowledge of our world before 9/11—on science, history, sociology, psychology, politics, finance and current events and trends, such as global warming. Like a stone dropped into a calm pond, the vision’s themes and details radiated out hour after hour

FOR THE RECORD: THEN AND NOW During a long retreat in April 2001, a vision of an apocalyptic near future arose in my meditation. If it had held the marks of fantasy that discursive mind is famous for, my practice discipline would have dismissed it. 1/11
