Caitlin, love your writings, I always up vote you. You are invaluable. I only wish you could hear what I am saying. It’s the computer, the human brain that needs assistance. Assistance is maybe not quite the word, but I don’t know how else to put it. There is a thing called human logic, it is a real. The real issue in our world is not a good vs. evil, though that is present. The real issue is that the whole of human logic is fractured, unsupported and abused by our world. A world endowed with the miracle of individual intelligence. Individual intelligence got us to where we are today. It will not carry us into the future. For that we need a collective intelligence and a fully functional human logic. A collective intelligence moderated by human logic and enabled with the advances in technology. Technology that enables me to write to you on the other side of the world and reach you in seconds. Awakening is not a thing, It is a fictional hope born of desperation,. The world you describe is a world of chaos. Why chaos? Because human logic, the basis of our intelligence is used and abused by individual intelligence and the wants and needs of the individual. Yes there will be a sea change, an environmental and even evolutionary change( perhaps you can call it an awakening) it will only occur though after we have elevated human logic above the reach of the individual self, and the needs and wants of the individual assisted by individual intelligence.
