Boomers last dance

 

 

This is the Boomers last dance and last chance. There was a time when boomers were filled with idealism: the Age of Aquarius, love everyone, civil rights, inclusive, question everything, experiment, try new things, explore new ideas. 

But something went horribly wrong. Pong, calculators, fancy cars, fancy gadgets, style, being cool, homes in the 'burbs, having families, 9 to 5.

There had been a sense that we were here to change the world for the better, to throw off the yoke of polluting oil and mass consumerism. We were the New Age of spiritual enlightenment. Remember the Harmonic Convergence? But the bills kept coming, the wallet full of credit cards was sinking under its own weight. Yes, we knew about Silent Spring and that we had to move to protect the environment. But we thought we had plenty of time, technology would solve the day, and would all sing kumbaya. However, the world got away from the boomers and as Pink Floyd says, "comfortably numb." As a result, while there have been movements to protect the planet, the power of the Oil Cartels and their friends have been able to disable movements that would end the their reign.

The hoped for evolution has not really happened and we continue to choke the life out of the planet. Despite catastrophe after catastrophe, people still think that getting even more oil is better then the alternative: the rise of renewable energy. People have believed the propaganda that this change must take time and in the meantime we must build more pipelines and drill more wells. BS

It looks like it will take general calamity to raise this phoenix from the ashes. Floods, sea level rise, pandemics, extreme weather, species decimation, skyrocketing fuel/energy costs, social collapse, wars and more are all coming together to force a change in humanity. Of course we can try to ride it out, but that is a lost cause. Maybe to greedy oil companies have done us a favor, By setting record high prices we have two choices: let drill more, pipe more, and pollute more (Earth is at the tipping point now), or bite the bullet and demand a high speed, all oars in the water push for renewables. The latter would be painful, but the former is definitely deadly.

So dear Boomers, decision time, this is our last dance, our last chance.

It's what we came for, just ...

It's what we came for, just not the way we imagined.

Dear Boomers and anyone wondering what went wrong.

We have seen so much: rabbit-ear TV, Bandstand, the birth of Rock 'n Roll, the Iron Curtain, the election of Kennedy, Russian shoe banging, Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold War, JFK, RFK, MLK assassinations, civil rights movement/protests, Vietnam/protests, a man on the moon, the space race, the arms race, the Beatles, muscle cars, fast forward to 911, wars in the Middle East, new planets discovered, the Internet, and now Covid-19.

Clearly, this is the shortlist. And in those experiences, we saw hope. The New Age, Aquarius, the Harmonic Convergence, rallies for peace and human rights. We were the Boomer Brigade and we were going to change the world, out with the old, in with the new and dispelling darkness along the way.

Then STUFF happened. Yup, all kinds of stuff. Incomes were good. Job security was good and there was plenty of credit available and we liked it. We bought lots of stuff, went out a lot, began to travel and enjoyed the newest throwaway gadgets, longed for the newest catalogs, charged up a storm and ignored (by many) the cries of Silent Spring. Not all, mind you, but most. We were coming into our social, political, and economic power and we were convinced that new technology would solve all of our problems.

It didn't. New technology created as many problems as it solved. We were killing Mother but we falsely believed that it would all right, it'll get fixed. It wasn't. And, as the Great Recession stipped many of their things, we came to realize that something went awfully wrong. We did not seem to usher in an age of peace and love, but rather a time of 1984 non-thinking, dumbed-down, non-empathetic, Big Brother is watching you, scorched Earth extinction ridden planet.

We became stressed out, made fortunes for the health care industry, and began to blame everyone and anything but us for our woes and sorrows. We failed in our mission, hell, we forgot our mission.

And here we are, being taken out by something some scientists claim isn't even living and stocking up on toilet paper.

Okay, that was the no so good news. But take heart my fellow Boomers, we are, in fact, close to mission accomplished! Yes, instead of taking the easy road, as usual, we took the hard road. I guess we all learn more this way. We thought the system could be fixed from within. We were, basically, wrong, at least the way we were doing it. And along comes Covid 19, which resulted from our dumb actions and spread because of our dumb president. We did not imagine that we would bring in the Light on a Dark Horse. But we have and this little dead thing has done more to change the world in months and we did in many years. I hate to say, but perhaps this was the plan all along. Many of you will remember bemoaning that we had no guidebook--it was lost or we just forgot to bring it. But if we saw this in the guide, I wonder what we would have done. Sure, we may have prevented the pandemic but things would have continued along the dead-end road we were on. This would surely have been a failure.

I think we may pull this. The lives we have and are losing are not in vain. The world will not be the same along this path and that's what we wanted, it's just not the way we imagined it. When it's all said and done, we'll gather our souls around those Light balls we created in 1987 and have a grand congratulatory Soul Fest. After that, we can then finally move on as awakened beings, awakened gods in search of new adventures in this infinite sea of consciousness.

THE VOICES BEHIND THE ANGELS

Anyone who has ever built or remodeled a house knows that the right tools for the job makes things go a lot easier. Currently, we are in the process of re-building our economy, politics, social life and even the very nature of our spirituality. The old structures and dogmas are in decay and are, in fact, terminally ill. Many are looking for guidance and news ways of doing things. From worn out health care systems to worn out religions, humanity is on a quest – willing to explore the new and the innovative. As society entered the Age of Reason and the Industrial Revolution, a great deal of ancient wisdom was lost and ignored; we through our spirituality out with the ‘bath water.’ If it was ancient, it was relegated to the abyss of must caves. Times are definitely changing. Google the Law of Attraction and almost 10, 000,000 web sites emerge.

It has been said that “all that is hidden shall be revealed.” Today, from Oprah to Larry King and just about every useful talk show, those who are willing to guide humanity into a Great Awakening are emerging. Books, videos, guest speakers, teleseminars, webinars, YouTube, social networks and the internet are the new outlets for this growing resurgence, and perhaps insurgent, wave of spirituality. Everything is evolving at a rapid pace and one tool that will help you keep pace is a new magazine called, VOICES OF THE ANGELS. No, this is not a religious magazine.

Voice of the Angels.com Magazine - A magazine for multi-dimensional living is a quarterly publication whose mission is to provide people with tools for self-empowerment. They present articles, cutting edge information and products for helping people get beyond current perceptions, perspectives, belief in limitations, and for moving forward on the path to mind, body, and spirit oneness and enlightenment.

In our Spring, 2009 issue they present information on such topics as "Nostradamus and the Tarot Code" by Philip Harris, "Your Soul's Plan - Did You Plan Your Life Before Birth?" by Robert Schwartz, "Beyond the Law of Attraction - What No One is Telling You," and "What is Multi-Dimensional Living" by Dyan Garris. And we find out why chakra balance is so important to manifesting and virtually everything we do. They explore small space living with Jay Shafer who has made an art form out of living happily and efficiently in less than 100 square feet. They delve into crystal healing with Ashley Dalke and we discover the beauty and effectiveness of Vogel healing tools with Ann Churchman.

While other similar magazines focus on self-improvement from a mind-body perspective, and barely scratch the surface of incorporating the spirit into our daily lives, this one takes everything several steps further with the approach of helping people live as integrated, whole human beings. It's no longer enough to "improve." The editor says, “We must empower ourselves as we move forward into ascension. It's time to fully integrate into expanded consciousness.”
