2020 vision

We thought it was 2012: the big breakthrough year, and were disappointed when it didn’t happen. Last night I had a realisation that it is going to be 2020 which is the year of real transformation.Yet this long awaited mega-change couldn’t be happening without the groundwork laid by the 2012 energy and activity. Of course the most important message of the passage of time-based elements is not so much the fleeting inexorability of nature, but that which underpins it. Measurement was the start of the human compression of events into arbitrary packets. Our obsession with naming and recording, dividing snd delineating everything for the purpose of understanding in the hope of controlling it IS temporality.

I have been asked what past era I would most like to live in, and it has always been the first (recorded) age of enlightenment, the magical medieval days of the simplicity and cleanness of pre-chemical contamination. The purity of places as yet untainted by human interference. A time when science and alchemy were bedfellows and the pursuit of knowledge was for its own sake, not for profit or exploitation. A space with room for angels and endless exploration, a cornucopia of experience, wonderment and discovery. A lifelong freshness like continuing childhood playfulness and innocence. People today like to consider themselves at a level of sophistication beyond those days, but the price has been lost creativity and imagination as we wait for others to invent the latest gadget, superficial amusement or labour saving technology.

Of course the new age of enlightenment, the dawn of awareness, the birthing of empathic wokeness will be more of spirit than materiality. We have done materiality to death.
