"One of the things we need to get clear on is that for a long time, we have been going in a direction as a species that no sane person should want to be going."

He goes on to say that destroying the natural living systems on which our existence depends, in order to get a quick energy fix or a quick profit, is literally insane.

Meanwhile, people are having difficulty telling the difference between what they are told is the truth and what they feel is so in their gut. Our collective denial is reaching a critical mass.

It is relevant here to note the origin of the term "conspiracy theory." DeHaven's book Conspiracy Theory in America emphasizes that a 1967 CIA memo sent to staff at embassies instructed CIA assets on how to respond to critics of the Warren Commission. The memo advocated use of the term in a harsh, dismissive, pejorative tone - particularly to connote irrationality. It is evident, particularly following the events of 9/11, that the term has been used to invalidate and peripheralize citizen researchers investigating false-flag operations.

In this light, we can bracket those who dismiss such terms out of hand, and envision an alternate scenario as capturing vital truths. In this scenario many stalwart and courageous minds are involved in exposing a myriad of dark, menacing conspiracies by the global elite intent upon world domination (see Globalresearch.ca, Siriusdiscloure.com, 911truth.org).

We can hope that in the coming years, the people of earth will be emerging from an amnesiac-like state of collective shock, which have blocked the influx of a certain kind of knowledge, which includes who we are as a species and our place in the cosmos.

Imagine mediated confusion intensifying all over the world, where political and sexual charades are used to purposely confound, demoralize and separate humanity into opposing factions. A seemingly endless tidal wave of war propaganda, and a barrage of double-talk scripted to program human consciousness, would continue to offer a version of reality full of forebodings of fear, helplessness, doom and despair.

However, the flamboyant scourge of lies and deceit can also stimulate our growing awareness, as we occupy a human form during these times of tumultuous transformation.

Without stories or visions of a promising future we can feel utterly lost, and create self-fulfilling prophecies of ruin for ourselves.

Elgin suggests the following positive interpretations of the events we are experiencing:

"Humanity is Growing Up."

"The Global Brain is Waking Up."

"The Planet (and Humanity) are Giving Birth."

"The Sacred Feminine is Re-Emerging."
