Can we start all over again?

Our civilization has generated a dependency on things and people who are just an image or voice, so imagine if that is cut.

In fact, we had a small rehearsal of a few years with the COVID pandemic. I will give a personal example.

Every year I used to travel to India; it was something very valuable for my personal growth and I used to enjoy the interaction with people from so many countries. And all of a suddenly ¡it was OVER! For two years I had to just sit and miss being there…

Eventually, the travels for foreigners resumed to India, but I keep thinking if that was it: if our civilization finally reach to a halt and we had to live in a totally different civilization.

Because I don’t think the world will end as it becomes extinct; I keep imagining a world that had to reset itself.

A few thoughts on that:

  • Instead of travelling to other places, we may have to enjoy and go deep on the places we live. It is an interesting way to see our reality in a different way.
  • Maybe we won’t have internet to communicate with others, but this is the chance to communicate with the self, God and even nature.
  • It is possible our present comforts won’t be present, so we will need to comfort ourselves in different ways by meditating, praying or just enjoying nature.
  • We won’t have our favorite foods! So, we will have to make whatever is available into our favorite food.

And the list goes on… The important thing is if someday the end comes, remember you can always reset your world.

Is the end coming soon?

The pandemic came… THIS IS THE END!

The war in Europe erupted… THIS IS THE END!

And another thing... THIS IS THE END!

Some people I know have an obsession with the end of the world or the civilization as we know it. Recent events and the general situation of the world has instigated that obsession even more.

Now, my question is if the end is coming soon or not.

There is a general law that all civilizations start small, grow until reaching a maturity stage and they end; it is like a bell curve and it has worked for most civilizations.

From that point of view, perhaps for the first time in recorded History, we are living an unusual situation: the world is ONE civilization.

With globalization, we have reached our maturity and, of course, we are in our descent. It means, at some point we will reach the end.

What the curve bell does not show is that every time a civilization reaches its end, another replaces it, many times in a chaotic way as this new civilization is just starting.

However, as there is technically ONE civilization… well, there is nothing to replace it.

So, it is quite possible that our descent will mean this civilization will end.


What are you doing to prepare yourself? And what are your thoughts about THE END?

Is it easy to be superman or superwoman?

A song has touched my heart and it affirms, again and again it’s not easy… to be that hero others expect you to be.

This is reflected in many movies and episodes: being a hero is not an easy job. Supermen and superwomen are becoming out of fashion…

And yet, maybe this is the moment humanity needs more than ever a hero. Or two. Perhaps more than that…

Climate change, politics, social issues, economics… Wherever you look, the signs of distress of a society in decline are visible. As per history, our civilization is about to be destroyed.

So, we, ordinary people, look at the sky, looking for a savior, a hero or a heroine to prevent that destruction.

We need people who are able to do sacrifices, help others beyond their limits and use their superpowers to overcome obstacles.

Unfortunately, we can’t find them. Perhaps, all we need is another point of view: would YOU like to be the next SuperWoman or SuperMan?

Your superpower could be mercy, gentleness or the incredible ability of not contaminating the planet.

Your sacrifice may be the end of old harmful habits like prejudice, wasting food, consumerism and many others.

If you accept, at every heart of those you help, a statue will be erected in your honor, a statue made of love, blessings and good wishes.

Please, accept… I’ve offered myself already, it is worthwhile.
