10 Future Predictions by Diane Tessman

Submitted by Diane Tessman on Tue, 05/10/2011 - 08:07

During my eleven years of public school teaching, I also pursued field investigation with MUFON and the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO). I was meticulously scientific in my investigations; however like so many investigators, I was also driven to look into the UFO phenomenon for some hidden personal reason which I did not understand at that time. After undergoing hypnosis with Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, I remembered a UFO encounter when I was a child in North Iowa. I realized consciously that I "shared consciousness" with a UFO being who calls himself Tibus. This line of communication had always been there but I had not dared to recognize it.   For 30 years now, Tibus and I have warned of climate change which brings torrential rains and  super-storms; these events are just now becoming painfully apparent. Another example: Tibus has been adamant about not using nuclear power, "because accidents will happen." Now we have Fukashima. 

 

    I have written 5 books as well as writing 2 monthly publications, with predictions and insights into Earth's upheavals and changes. As you can see from the Ten Predictions below, Tibus' messages involve logical outcomes rather than conventional psychic information which is not, by definition, based in logic. If you continue to mistreat your environment, this will happen."  This is the crux of Tibus and many other alien beings' warnings and messages. Perhaps receiving a message from a UFO being is not always flakey or crazy, although the media tends to portray it this way. Perhaps it is a method, an attempt, to open humankind's eyes to the plight of its planet which is a crisis almost entirely caused by humankind.  

   

10 Future Predictions by Diane Tessman:

 

    Introduction::

 

     How can anyone predict the future when quantum physics confirms for us that there are an infinite number of alternate realities? Tibus has taught me that there are certain over-riding events which happen in almost every branch reality. These events are the movers and shakers of Earth's history in every time line. In my precognitive work, it is these over-riding ("umbrella") events on which I place the most emphasis.

 

    You will not see a prediction here about the success a Hollywood starlet's rehab or a British royal's choice of tiara. The Change Point is approaching for the Planet Earth, an intersecting moment in space/time in which every one of us will be deeply involved and affected. Each planet which has a dominant, sentient species like Homo sapiens, reaches a pivotal moment in its history when this species threatens to destroy the higher life forms on the planet through its own greed, and selfishness. Today, we see higher life forms such as lions, tigers, whales, sharks, elephants, and an endless list of others, in danger of untimely extinction because of humankind's cruelty and lack of empathy.

 

    Yes, Planet Earth is in the throes of her Change Times; in this violent process, Homo sapiens may even extinguish its own life spark along with that of the planet herself. Is a species really so intelligent which destroys the world on which it stands? 

 

    Perhaps Gaia, the living spirit of Mother Earth, will manage to keep a few life forms such as cockroaches and microbial life after humankind has done its damage and is long gone. However, Gaia is a middle aged planetary spirit; her world was in relative balance before Homo sapiens began his march of progress. She had created and was nurturing tens of millions of species. It is not yet her time to be a dying world. It is not yet time for the wondrous diversity of Earth's higher life forms to be extinguished

 

    Here, then, are my 12 Future Predictions in these crazy, often dangerous, Change Times, which lead to a dimensional Change Point. Many of these predictions are alarming but the positive predictions, which are the last three, are our future hope; they are Our Future. .

    Beyond chaos and change of the old world, is a new world which sings in a higher octave. Those humans who can survive in this higher electromagnetic frequency of consciousness, will perceive the new dawn of a healed and balanced planet.

 

    Prediction One:. Fracking, is the new "advanced"  technique of horizontal drilling for gas, which in fact, fractures the earth causing thousands of earthquakes, releases huge amounts of methane which kills fish, birds, and more, and destroys the water table, private wells and entire aquifers across the nation. All profits from fracking go to the giant natural gas industry.

 

    Fracking will cause a terrible shortage pure, clean water. The shortage of consumable water is a major prediction regardless of the fracking process but with fracking covering some states already like cancer, the drinking water crisis grows much more critical and pressing.

 

    Fracking is beyond government rules and regulations because former Vice President Cheney saw to it that this toxic, destructive method of drilling, is exempt from all oversight and regulation.

 

    And so, for the United States in particular, the future lack of drinking water and fresh water for other aspects of civilization, will become a devasting crisis earlier than it would have without the upgrade in fracking practices.

 

    Prediction Two: MRSA and CRKP infections will spread like wildfire, turning what is already a global threat into a global panic. Over-use of antibiotics is the reason for the rise of these superbugs. MRSA attacks people in hospitals but also in communal areas now such as schools and gyms. CRKP is a new superbug which causes mostly respiratory infections which are almost totally resistant to antibiotics. Together, these killed over 25,000 people in Europe last year but that number will seem small as these and other brand new superbugs defy antibiotics entirely.

 

    Prediction Three: Contamination through radioactivity and the otherwise rapidly dwindling fish populations across the planet, will make many kinds of fish such as cod, which we take for granted as always there  for us, rare and almost impossible to find.  Also rapidly shrinking in availability due to pollution, radioactivity, and the huge human demand, will be oysters, scallops, lobsters,  and similar seafood. The Gulf of Mexico is more damaged already than we are told.

 

    Prediction Four: The Pacific Ring of Fire will continue to go through a violently active period when both earthquakes and volcanoes continue to  cause enormous and frequent catastrophes which in the past, had been rare events. Of course devastating walls of water called tsunamis will also occur because these go hand in hand with severe earthquakes. 

 

    Prediction Five: The Arctic Ocean will soon be open water all winter long. In many areas of the planet, the last traces of formerly mighty glaciers will trickle their last drop, into the sea. The lack of glaciers also exacerbates the coming fresh water crisis. In the Antarctic, large chunks of the ice shelves will continue to break up; when the main Antarctic ice sheet is exposed to the Antarctic Ocean without the protection of the ice shelves, a huge meltdown may occur very quickly, raising ocean levels by many feet.

 

    Prediction Six: There will be more nuclear accidents and/or serious damage to nuclear installations due to huge catastrophes. It is strange, but once a thought enters the mass human consciousness, we know more such events will come. We do create our own reality. One month after the Japanese Fukashima meltdowns, 3 workers in Nebraska were exposed to radioactivity at Cooper Nuclear Station.

 

    Prediction Seven: Of course the radioactivity from Fukashima is greater and more damaging than governments will admit. Which brings us to our 7th prediction: The powers-that-be on Earth will continue trying to control the population of humans through disinformation and misinformation. To keep their power, they must keep the general population like a herd of sheep, wrapped up in materialism and the endless quest for "enough money."

 

    Do not be mislead by readings of radioactivity from Fukashima which try to sound as though it is not a high reading; we must remember that nuclear meltdown and near-meltdown is a 24/7 process, and continues for thousands of years.

    

    Prediction Eight:  In the near future, more humans will break from the control mechanism of mass consumerism and gluttonous materialism, finally perceiving that this is the road to doomsday. This revolution will occur partially because of desperation over growing levels of radioactivity and what they mean to us and our posterity.    

 

    This huge change in human consciousness will also occur as resources such as food, water, and fuel become scarce when they were once so abundant.     

 

    Also contributing to this critical mass of enlightenment will be growing desperation regarding the extremes of the climate. There will be endless super-storms and super-torrents of rain and snow, and society will no longer be able to deal effectively with them. Other areas will undergo severe, long-lasting drought or what seems like permanent flooding. Water levels planetwide will continue rising.

 

    Prediction Nine: There will be intentional Internet leaks of top secret government documents which prove conclusively that extraterrestrials and other-dimensionals have been flying in Earth skies and landing on Earth soil, for many years now. 1947 marks the beginning of a full scale mission on the part of these beings, to visit Earth and observe or help, during the Change Times.

 

    The absolute proof that UFOs exist and that they are not from the Earth we know, begins to pave the way for actual face to face contact with humans by these aliens. In all likelihood, these events will not span a number of years, but only a few months as they play out against the backdrop of Earth's catastrophes. We could wake up tomorrow with the certain knowledge that UFO aliens landed in London yesterday and will be landing in our area today.

 

    Prediction Ten: Landings by UFO occupants. Careful friendship will be extended to the mass of humanity. This will happen right as a dimensional shift occurs which we call the Change Point. From then on, there will be a different electromagnetic frequency for the human mind, due to a large fluctuation in Earth's geomagnetic field which is already beginning.

 

    This change in the human EM frequency, will lead to the perception of a better world. Perception is reality, and those who perceive a better world, will find themselves on a healed, balanced planet - a new dawn for Earth. 

 

    Those who can adapt, will. Those who cannot achieve this enlightened state of mind, will continue in the old human frequency, a dimension which is slowly coming unraveled. Essentially, they will continue, on a world which is full of catastrophes and which will become not the hospitable world we have known.    

 

    Conclusion:

 

    Enlightenment is up to each individual; no one chooses you - you choose yourself.

 

    The Change Point could occur in 11 but of course we all think of 12 and those Mayan predictions. The Change Point could even come in 13 or 14, but we all feel its approach and know it is near.

Here is another of her articles:  http://earthchangepredictions.com/html/7accuratepredictions.htm.  Below that is this next article.  Please read it because she is responding to a comment posted here.

 

Predictions: Can We Talk?

I recently wrote “Ten Future Predictions,” which appears on my web site earthchangepredictions.com, and on the web magazine UFOdigest.com, and which was reprinted on Earthchanges College web site.  One of the comments on Earth Changes College was something like, “When you think about it, aren’t all these predictions obvious? Duh!”

Well, of course they are obvious, that’s the point! Allow me to explain, although I also touched on this explanation in the introduction to Ten Future Predictions:

There seems to be a basic misunderstanding of “predictions,” perhaps due to the over-abundance of “psychic readers,” and similar modern sensationalistic and money-making efforts.
Let’s start at the foundation for many in this society: Jesus is considered a prophet. I hasten to add that I do not necessarily consider myself a prophet nor am I placing myself in the same class as Jesus!

However, what did Jesus really predict? His predictions had to do with the moral and spiritual quality of humankind: Money is a corrupting influence and leads to greed, so do not value this above love and integrity. He spoke of the general spiritual corruption of his society and warned that this path would not lead to a heavenly state of being.

In other words, his predictions (and any good prediction), is one that bases itself in the way society or the world is at present, and contains a warning that if the path is not changed, tragedy or catastrophe will result. A good prediction is logical! It is also usually general, as were Jesus’ predictions.

A prediction with some worth does not pull a rabbit out of a hat and state that Uranus will fly out of its orbit and collide with the Moon tomorrow, destroying Earth. Now, maybe this will happen because anything is possible, but it is highly unlikely and has no basis in logic. Scientists have not found that Uranus is unstable to the point of escaping its orbit and if it did come unhinged, the chances it would hit the Moon are relatively small. So, that’s a bad or at least an illogical, prediction.

Yet, many predictions these days are along this line. “A killer asteroid is 200,000 miles away and will end all life on Earth on Wednesday.” Or, “The largest plasma ejection ever known will be headed for Earth from the Sun next week.”

Ok, that could happen, I guess, but it is a rabbit pulled out of a hat, probably to gain the predictor/prophet some attention. However, the melting of the Larsen Ice Shelf, for instance, which I predicted several decades ago, was a logical step as I read scientific articles (and had intuitive feelings regarding what I read), about alarming glacial and ice shelf melt which was beginning to happen. The same is true of all my predictions; I did not pull a rabbit out of a hat in any of the Ten Future Predictions.

In my perception, this is the strong point of my predictions. In the Earthchange College reader’s comment, it was a weakness and even an area for derision: “Aren’t these predictions obvious? Duh!”

To make predictions is not to be your phone psychic who pulls a rabbit out of the hat and tells you for no reason that you will slip on your front porch steps tomorrow. Or who tells you that your boy friend is cheating on you when, of course, she does not even know your boyfriend.

Our society cheapens intelligent, logical predictions which are simply warnings given by a writer who hopefully has some credentials and proven merit. Such logical predictions have nothing to do with the psychic world or trying to get a buck out of someone with a “psychic prediction,” which is probably a bullshit con job.

Unless you are one of the dwindling number who believes there is no radical climate change occurring on Earth, you will perceive that waters could rise as ice melts globally and that fresh drinkable water could become scarce as salt water contaminates more and more due to its rising.

Yes, you perceive this too, it’s not just me! However, it seems to be my purpose in life, my profession if you will, to ring the alarm bell we all feel should be rung. And there are other predictors (even prophets), like me. Sure, we do not all agree, but that is the human condition. We are no different.

When fire breaks out in a crowd, someone has to hit the alarm bell. We all perceive the fire, we all would hit the bell, but it seems to be my purpose to actually hit the alarm bell with my predictions.

It is my hope that by ringing the alarm bell, mass human consciousness will come together and wake up.

Are my predictions obvious if we stay on the path we are on? Of course they are! That’s the point!

Duh!

The solar eclipse of Cancer 2010 takes place on 12 Jul 2010 at 5:33 AM AEST (10 Jul 10
7:33 PM

UT). It is a total eclipse, but will only be visible from the southern part of the Pacific
Ocean. It is a member ofthe 146 Saros family of eclipses, which began on 19 Sep 1541. That series is

marked byuncertainty in loyalties, a need for reassurance, fickleness, but also the

ability to move through that andfurther cement bonds as a result of emotional trials by fire, so-to-speak. This

eclipse is the complementto the lunar eclipse we just had (and it was a lovely one to watch here in the

southern lands). Theproving or disproving of ideals and attachments is a key theme with both of

these eclipses,but particularly with the one under consideration. This indicates a marked

disillusionment, hopefully ofa positive sort, and it will eventually bring healing, although a ‘healing

crisis’ will be inevidence first. The first eclipse of the 146 series had a stellium in Libra,

with Venus at the midpoint ofMercury and Saturn, with Neptune opposing, indicating the disillusionment.

However, Mars was insextile to Saturn (rebuilding and building for the future) and Venus was in

applying sextile withUranus (help from unexpected sources, unusual alliances and sudden insights).

Mars and Uranuswere conjunct then, further highlighting the suddenness of events, independence

of thought andaction, and the healing crisis.

In the present eclipse we see the Sun and Moon at the 20th degree of Cancer, the
Sabian symbol for which reads:

Venetian gondoliers giving a serenade.

This festive symbol would appear to be in stark contrast to the somber tone represented by
the Saros series. It would also seem to be contraindicated in the figure for the present eclipse, with the t-square on cardinal points and the Saturn clash with Chiron and Neptune, both of which are opposed by Venus, and with that same Venus/Neptune opposition being a feature of the first eclipse of the 146 series. No, the image of singing gondoliers just does not seem to fit with present astrological conditions. What exactly is there to sing about in the world? Well, there is much more to this symbol than singing and romantic images.

Water is always a symbol for emotions and life in general. As Dane Rudhyar in An Astrological Mandala hasrightly pointed out, Venice is a city that literally sits on top of the water, like a lotus risen formthe muck and mud of the pond. What this symbol is really trying to impart through this eclipse isthe idea that, instead of getting lost in the water (life in general) and the twists and turns of the citycanals, we should rise above any emotional concerns, keep our course firmly in mind and use the oarof calm-abiding to see and propel us through. This symbol is a distinct reminder of the happinessthat can be had when one conquers inner turmoil and gets on with life unperturbed by the surrounding karma working out. To use an analogy, water is
not an obstacle if we have a sound boat and a good oar. The ‘boat’ and ‘oar’ in this case are simply whatever techniques we have to place the mind in calm and focused state.

In the eclipse figure the Sun and Moon are in a close sextile with Mars which accelerates anything that comesup around the event or its subsequent activations. That sextile can be a bit overwhelming for people, but if the eclipse falls on planets or angles of your own chart be assured that you will have whatever energy you need to work through whatever challenges the eclipse represents. At the same time, though, we do not want to overwhelm those around us who may not have anything they have to particularly work out as a result of this lunation.

There is no eclipse lord by conjunction in this figure, but Neptune is the esoteric ruler
of the sign the eclipsefalls in (Cancer), thus making that planet, along with the Moon (the orthodox

ruler), the lords ofthe eclipse. The Moon and Neptune both rule over the oceans, hence we would

expect some kind ofevents associated with the oceans or big water, and both planets have dominion

over the emotionsin some way. The general state of the emotions in this chart is not exactly

happy.

Although the Sun/Moon conjunction is well-aspected to Mars, Venus (the other indicator of

emotions) is opposed to Chiron and Neptune, as has been mentioned. Also, there is a classic
Magi heartbreakclash with the Saturn linkage to Chiron and Neptune. However, Venus is trine to

Pluto and linkedwith the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, indicating powerful magnetism and help.

People will bethere for us if there are trials to come from the eclipse. That conjunction is

part of the t-squarementioned before, however, so its benefits to Venus depend upon how the rest of

the t-squareimpinges upon it.

Regarding water and the emotions in connection with this eclipse, I had a look, as I previously mentioned,over the past week at various countries and some of the states within the US.

There is a fairamount of spin going around on the net about the possible ramifications of the

spill in the Gulf ofMexico, and I wanted to see what the astrology showed around it over the next

few months, if notyears. It was quite interesting, especially with regard to the southern states

along the coast of the Gulf, and I will get to that in a moment. There was one particularly dire possibility

that has been mentioned on the net that bore investigation, and that was that the cracks appearing in the rock seams surrounding the oil volcano might theoretically trigger an earthquake in the New Madrid seismic area in the Bootheel region of Missouri.

The New Madrid Quake of 1811 was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in the US
and there were over one thousand quakes in that area from 1811-1812, to the extent that a lake

was created due to the shifts in the earth’s crust in that area (Reelfoot Lake). The

Mississippi River runs through that area and it was actually seen to run backwards at one point during the

quakes.

According to one source, earthquakes in the New Madrid region have their origin in the Gulf.

Whether the Deepwater Horizon event will cause a quake in the New Madrid region is
debatable, but I willtell you that my preliminary astrological investigations do not show that a

major quake in the NewMadrid seismic area is immanent – certainly not in the State of Missouri.

Instead, what I see is agreat amount of upheaval for the Gulf States, especially with regard to the

populace, the national mood and agricultural issues in the area.

The general theme that runs through the states that lie along to Gulf of Mexico for the
next year or so is one ofgeneral discontent and public outrage. It is fairly obvious anyway, is it not?

Tourism is a bigdraw to the Gulf as well as the fishing industry, and if the water is fouled

with oil it tends to put adamper on people’s holidays and jobs in that region. I don’t mean to seem

flippant here.

I see a particularly difficult period in store for Louisiana and Mississippi, with
major solar arc activityfrom Mars and Neptune for Louisiana and Saturn to the Descendant of

Mississippi. I do not, Ishould reiterate, see a major earthquake at this time, although I do not have a

foundation date for NewMadrid, MO, only the year (1808). Interestingly, San Francisco is in for major

events in 2012-2014with first Mars and then Saturn progressing to its horizon in that period. The

eclipse will affectthe Gulf States of Mississippi, Florida and Texas via the Moon in their charts

and New Orleans viaits Chiron. New Orleans had Neptune on its ascendant by solar arc when Katrina

passed through andit will have Mars on its meridian in a couple of years. It might interest

astrologers to know thatthe Moon of the Deepwater Horizon event was conjunct the MC of the New Madrid

Quake (22 Cancer), not that there is any physical connection, but the real point to be
made here is that the fewdegrees on either side of this eclipse are strongly indicated in both events

and several US states.In fact, the third quarter of Cancer seems to figure powerfully in major world

event charts,especially bombings and disasters.

If you want to know how this eclipse will affect you, if at all, look back at your life
from the period of Oct1992-Oct 1993. In October of ’92 there was a triple activation of the Jul 1991

solar eclipse at the 19thdegree of Cancer by Mars, Uranus and Neptune – life-changing stuff, that. It

was ‘finished’, by the finalpasses of Uranus and Neptune over that point toward the end of ’93. It ushered

in the constitutionalcrisis in Russia under Yeltsin, the nuclear test by China which ended the de

facto nuclear testban, a large battle in Mogadishu, Somalia with US forces and the Killari Quake

which killed 10,000.If your life was uneventful during that period then this eclipse will likely

not affect you. Thateclipse was of a different Saros series (136), which is particularly hard

series, having its start at0º of Cancer. The present eclipse and series is nowhere near that tough. If

your life was completelyturned around in the early ‘90s, then breathe a sigh of relief, for this time

around it will not benearly as difficult. The present eclipse we are considering receives only Sun

and Mars activations.The Mars activations come at 2Jan11, 2Sep11, 13Dec12 and 12Aug13.

The Chinese astrology for this new moon and event bears a look, too. The auspices of the
45th /46th tetragramsfor the 11th/12th resp. read as:

Enlarging a house on crooked foundations still produces a crooked house. (nighttime)

The two symbols are similar in a way. Both of them refer to the foundations upon which
our actions takeplace. If we are inattentive to or ignore what underpins them, then the outcome

will be questionableat best. At worst the entire structure of a course of events could come

crashing down.

What is to be done, then? To pay attention to what wells up within us is paramount at this
time and with theactivation times just noted. One should take careful notes on what is taking

place at the moment ifone is to know what to expect at the activation times. If one’s own chart is

unaffected then nospecial care is needed after the eclipse. Basically the main course of action

is to stay calm in the midstof any difficulties that might arise and to stay one’s course if the course is

correct. As theBuddhists say, keep a calm mind and let the karma work out around you. If the

course one is on is notcorrect for what one needs in life then one will soon be shown the need for a

change. If we do not buy intothe dramas then we create nothing that has to be worked out in the future,

regardless of whether we have to abandon an endeavor or not. In fact, if we can
keep a cool head and see the best possible outcome, work toward that and
celebrate it, then we can live to the best result of the Sabian symbol for the
eclipse.

This eclipse refers to possibly having to make adjustments to one’s course, but never to the
ultimate outcome ifwe can see that we are on a sound course and footing. It is a bit like crossing

a running stream. Wemight have to jump back and forth across the rocks on the way across, but the

object is not to fallin and ultimately to get to the other side. There is no need to fear the

stream, or to have trepidationsabout what we are doing. All this might sound a bit trite, but I have seen

firsthand what the eclipseholds because it affects my own chart strongly and the attitude just described

worked quite wellfor me. Nineteen years ago when I last had an eclipse on that point my life was

turned upside down.It was both painful and joyful at the same time. I left an entire life behind,

but the one I createdafter the fact was better than I could have hoped for, and that was a powerful

South Node solareclipse. If I had known then what I know now I could have made even better

effect of how I have livedsince then, but I knew what had to do and that my course was sure, even though

there was nocertainty in the outcome. There have been many ‘bends in the road’ for me since

that time, but at leastI have learned to have an easier mind about things and just let certain matters

work their way through.

Every ‘karmic interlude’, as it might be termed – that is to say, every situation
that we have to go experiencerather than freely choose to go through (and yes, it does seem are certain

things we have toexperience and that are ordained before we come into this life, both because of

our own choices inpast lives and because of the collective choices that were made when we were

members of groups,communities or nations) – has several main features: a time element, certain

actions that must beundertaken and mental/emotional resolutions as a result of actions undertaken and

time allowed. Afriend mine has said on several occasions that time is the great healer. One of

the biggest problems wehave when we encounter one of our karmic interludes is that we want it to be

finished almost assoon as it starts if it is a difficult one. We do not wish to allow enough time

to let the lesson, the true blessing, soak in. We want it all and we want it
now. How much better it would be if we couldjust enjoy the ride and listen to the gondolier (an analogy for one’s higher Self) sing our cares awayand give us some answers. Everyone around us and especially those locked in a drama with uswould appreciate if we could do that, and vice-versa. The journey would go a lot quicker.

Our friends in the Gulf States are in no mood for singing, though, needless to say. The oil
spill willeventually ruin BP or cause its restructuring, more from post-disaster civil suits than anything

major restructuringof the life of the company. The ramifications of the oil washed up on the

beaches and the loss ofanimal life will be with us for many years to come. People living in those

areas are angry and rightlyso. Maybe this collective anger is what is needed to effect a major change in

our energy policies. Ido not know what will happen around it all and I can see many possible

outcomes.

There is very big money involved, many lives encumbered and affected, basic power
structures ingovernment and industry that are directly threatened by a negative outcome from

the spill and subsequentsuits. There is talk of a possible coup if a hurricane comes through and

disrupts the area.

I think that is a lot of scaremongering, but stranger things have happened. You can believe
this, though: Thegovernments of Britain and the US had better think things through very

carefully and not act tooharshly or foolishly. I wonder how many people see the ultimate stakes here.

BP employs tens of thousands of people and they are not the only players in the Gulf. If BP is shut down itdirectly affects hundreds of thousands of people through loss of income and the uncertainty that wouldgenerate. People calling for the seizing of BP should realize that would not be likely to happen andthat it would have international ramifications. There are some very vexing matters to be addressedabout the spill and none of it will be effectively solved by calling for blood on any side. Yes,those responsible need to be held accountable. Yes, the mess needs to be cleaned up. Yes, safeguardsneed to be upgraded and enforced, and on and on. None of the answers will be easy and all of itwill take a lot of time. Draconian measures will not help and will only exacerbate matters.

Yes, this event ups the ante on a lot of fronts. I do think Deepwater Horizon is going to
bring about majorchanges in many areas of life, especially for the US, but that in itself will affect the rest of the world. Watchwhat happens around that scenario carefully, for the ripples from it will affect us all for a longtime to come.What isbeing called for through this eclipse and this period in world history is a
more measured way ofacting and clear heads. The only thing we ever really have any control over is

our own mind, but wehave no idea the power that a calm mind can wield in a troubled world. It is a

remedy that cansweep away a lot of negativity. Only a calm mind can create better conditions

for the future, bothin this life and in future lives – especially in future lives. Perhaps a brief

quote from A Bodhisattva’sWay of Life might be helpful in that regard:

Now, having paid my body its wages,

I shall turn my life to something meaningful

And, relying on the boat of the human body,

Free yourself from the great river of pain.

As it is hard to find this boat again,

This is no time to sleep…

My wish for us all is peace of mind and true happiness. Every birthday and Christmas my Dad always saidthat was basically what he wanted. It’s not a bad wish, I have found. I always thought he was a bitflippant in his answer when I was younger, but the years have shown me that he actuallyreally meant what he said. The path may be crooked, but a calm mind will always assure a goodultimate outcome. May it be thus for us all. I hope this eclipse and its legacy is a source of joy when all issaid and done.

Blessings,

Malvin.
