Fossil Fools

Yesterday's post may seem a tad down. Okay, a tad Apocalyptic.

I think those who believe in imminent Apocalypse are right. But this Apocalypse is a self-fulfilling prophesy, because we're the cause.

So it's not so much the Second Coming as it is a Jim Jones-like mass suicide. It's our consumption of fossil fuel that is killing us, not Kool-Aide.

If we can cause our own extinction, we can also do the opposite.

We are being asked to evolve into more intelligent beings than we've been.

This evolution is more dramatic than the one from hunters and gatherers to farmers and from farming to the Industrial Revolution put together.

We are being asked to evolve from matter-based to Spirit-based beings, from a material economy of lack, fear, greed and selfishness to a spiritual economy of unselfishness, caring and sharing.

We might not get it done in this lifetime or here on earth, but it is the direction we need to go.

We need to get off the bullet train we're taking in the wrong direction, and get on the bullet train headed in the right direction.

Or we'll simply be fossil fuels for some future life form.
