Mankind (including the U.S.) is going through a metamorphosis that I would liken to childbirth. And Whether you liken what is happening to us (the present human race) that is birthing the (child), the future of what mankind will be and become, still there is no doubt that childbirth though wonderful is still fraught with many perils. In 1974, my first wife and I delivered my son at home alone using the La Maze method. When we all returned to our Lamaze class then we were surprised to find that none of our group actually had had the courage to actually have natural childbirth except us. As they told their nightmarish stories one by one we felt sort of strange and waited until the end to tell our story. We watched our fellow class members sort of pale as we told our story of birthing our son alone at home.
I was 26 and she was 21 and we were very young and courageous and just did it with the Lamaze instructions, with alcohol and a shoestring to tie off the umbilical cord and a bathroom full of amniotic fluid when my son was born.
Likewise, now as the future mankind of earth are born through these intense times there is as much potential joy and danger for all mankind as for our Lamaze baby birthing class in 1974. Please remember the potential joy and don't just concentrate on the scary stuff. Unless we all focus more on how great the future could be we won't get there. Imagine a good future and you will get there.
