A Vision of the Distant Future

Men will learn to appraise each other and work together from the standpoint of their astrological or vibrationary make-up. In the same way the stellar ruler ship of nations will begin to be understood, and their individual genius and destiny thus revealed. It will then be impossible to think of crushing out, incapacitating or suppressing a nation than it would be to think of deliberately cutting off, crippling or tying up one of one's own limbs; it will appear just as foolish.

Through the effects of spiritual meditation, stress relaxation techniques, and anxiety relief people will be able to stay out of harm's way. Thus the laws of fusion and unity will gradually filter into man's consciousness, and into their outward living, bringing not the bugbear which we now fear—loss of individuality and initiative—but bringing a freer and a heightened individuality, unwarped by our famous inferiority-complex, dignified and natural in the expression of its own acknowledged genius and essentiality.

So far we have envisioned future expressing changes which are hard for us at this day to picture or to savor. A world from which fear, want, physical disease, partisanship and enmity have largely disappeared is difficult to imagine. However, this will most likely exist in the future and is dependent on the advancements in neurofeedback, biofeedback machines, and stress relief products.

A way of life in which love plays the chief part and governs the world opens up before us. But it is to be an unemotional, impartial, impersonal, all-embracing love, of a kind which we do not know and could hardly understand today, the real Christ-love of identification with all of life. We have glimpsed far ahead of us a physical life which is luminous, leisured and quiet compared in many respects with our own.

Our present 'commodities,' such as coal, gas, steam and oil, together with all the unpleasant labor, dirt, noise and smell which they entail, are destined to become completely obsolete and forgotten. The present crush and rush and roar of traffic will come to be a horror of the past. Goods will be blown along in pneumatic passages underground! Passengers will be very few in number, as walking will be preferred, or else riding upon something which will resemble a very light electric scooter, and which can be folded and carried upon the arm like an umbrella.

As for umbrellas, they will have gone out of fashion. All clothes will be weather-proofed by a new process, and people will have learned to value the beautifying and tonic properties of rain. Besides clothing, new types of meditation will be invented to unimaginably help relieve anxiety symptoms as well as stress. While the art of physical life will lie in simplifying every need, the opposite will apply to mental needs, as they become ever more vital, intense and searching.

The era of so-called magic will dawn, when the true powers of the mind come to be understood and demonstrated; a strange world in which the inventions of science are continually being ousted by man's own growing personal powers. For instance, the triumph of scientists when they finally teach men how to fly individually and without wings will be short-lived. People will suddenly discover that it is not so necessary to take their bodies everywhere with them.

They can accomplish some errands through a process of personal mind-projection or human television. Experiments in this latter practice will bring to light curious phenomena regarding its effect when carried out in groups. A wonderful secret concerning the human alchemy of scientifically arranged group-work will come to light. After this, things will be possible of accomplishment which will even astonish our 'magic-minded' descendants!
