Letters from the future

Dear Miss Cat,

I know you are struggling back there in 2023. I know with the ramping up of the crazy, you are sometimes frightened, feel hopeless or mistrust your instincts. So I am writing to tell you about the fabulous future that awaits, and to believe with every ounce of your being that this is real and coming.

The virus vaccine appeared to wipe out 2/3 of the people on the planet. What really happened is there was a timeline split, and many different realities unfolded from that period. I’m speaking from the one you ended up on, and it’s good news indeed!

I’m not going to tell you how it happened, but there was a massive shift of consciousness. The central banking system collapsed and every state opened their own public bank. This gave states and communities valuable resources to begin rebuilding. So many jobs were lost as capitalism fell, but even more were created as we began to build anew.

Free energy was released to the world. The technology was available long before, but had been kept under wraps. Once free energy was released, a renaissance began. Fossil fuels were over. Hemp was planted everywhere to heal the soil, and to provide products for everything from homes to clothing. Winona LaDuke’s hemp farm became a school where people came from all over to learn about hemp and sacred relationships with the earth. Biodynamic farming became the new norm. The people understood that unless we took care of the earth, we would not survive. Millions of jobs were created as people began to dismantle the oil and gas industry. Those of us who knew how to work with Nature Spirits were called upon to collaborate with them to put the uranium back into the earth safely, while also teaching us how to heal the soil and make restitution to the Earth.

Since there were so many people gone, and the banking industry had collapsed, there were no mortgages, and with the glut of empty houses, people could pretty much pick and choose where they wanted to live. Large cities were allowed to be taken over by nature and watching wild animals moving into our old neighborhoods was exciting! Community life was very important as there were far fewer of us to do anything, so we quickly established communities of up to 1,500 people based on the successful models of Damanhur. Many communities picked a nice big mansion for the common house, and then found homes somewhere nearby they could have for themselves and families or friends. They would meet in the big houses for dinners, and they centralized laundry, tools, and other things that were needed by the community but not necessarily by individuals. Many people preferred to build whimsical small homes that incorporated more of nature into their design.

Working with Nature, it didn’t take too long to re-wild large portions of the country.
Large cities and suburbs were allowed to collapse back to nature. Farming went back to small community farms and smaller community gardens. Most people quit eating meat so animals were no longer raised for food. We unanimously agreed that the beauty of nature belonged to everyone, so there were no longer private homes on oceans, lakes, rivers, or other natural wonders. Some buildings were left for everyone to enjoy, and there were plenty of people willing to maintain and oversee these sites for the benefit of everyone. If you wanted to go spend a week on a solitary lake, there was no lack of places to stay, and no crowds or tourists. The people that were left were committed to working hard to evolve along with the Earth.

The beauty of this reality is that only those who already had a propensity to live and work in a sharing economy were “left behind”. I’m certain that everyone else ended up in a reality that they most believed in.

Art became hugely important. There were no more schools - instead, children worked with adults learning every skill available. Children learned all the arts - drawing, painting, singing, reading music, playing instruments, sculpting - and those things would go on to influence all new creations.

Community gardens were works of art, furniture and homes were works of art, clothing was art - we knew that beauty was essential to our joy. Besides art, children were encouraged to work with adults finding what they loved. Some loved to grow plants. Some loved to build things. Many became inventors, finding innovative ways to live cooperatively and lightly upon the earth. Right now there is a massive renaissance of all things beautiful. Every day is sheer joy, to wake up and see what new
marvels are being invented and how lovingly the Earth is being restored. The explosion of housing options that are whimsical and charming astonishes all of us.

Zoos and aquariums were shut down and the animals were released. Without humans polluting the waters and land, we saw a quick recovery and a healing that was breathtaking. Those of us who grew up in the 50’s and later had never before seen such vibrant and healthy wilderness. Every person took time each year to take a trip and experience the countryside. Gypsy wagons are now quite popular for taking these trips through the wilderness. The Roma are highly respected and build most of these wagons, collaborating with young artists to provide stunning and whimsical choices. There is no need for horses as the wagons run on free energy, but some people love taking their horses along anyway. Camping trips are so much fun in these little homes!

Because we understood that our ideas of science and energy were lacking, we turned to Viktor Schauberger’s work on implosion. He discovered that Nature, in a free and pristine setting, creates power through vortices, spirals and temperature. Implosion, the feminine power rather than Explosion, the masculine power. As we began to understand how nature can provide free and endless energy with no pollution, our most curious and intuitive minds began to engineer technology closely based on Nature’s own patterns. This gave us unlimited energy, the ability to clean up the waterways and air, rejuvenate the soil, and enter a state of health and well-being never before imagined for humans.

Due to unlimited free energy, the entire transportation industry has been redefined. Young artists, mature engineers, ex-prop and special FX people from the film industry all came together and started creating amazing vehicles that hover, fly and leave no mark on the earth. The freeways are allowed to collapse and return to nature. The small rural roads are left for gypsy wagon travel, walking, biking or horses.

Government is quite different than it was back in 2020. All groups form a representative government - Indigenous peoples, the Elders, the Youth and Nature - all life has representation. Everyone is highly involved in decision making. Because people don’t need to work for money anymore, taking the time to sit in council and hammer things out is simply part of each person’s contribution to the whole. These councils are modeled after the Iroquois Confederacy and work quite well. This is in large part due to the fact the people have learned and understand how to evolve their own emotional triggers, so people are calm, centered and able to hear and speak truths that resonate with everyone. Because we all embrace co-creation, and understand we have ownership in every experience we have, there is never a blame game or victim manipulation. We own our shit. You will love it!!

The commons. which include water, earth, air, darkness, and silence cannot be used for personal gain. All decisions must benefit the whole. Nature has equal representation, and decisions are all based on seven generations forward. Before any action is approved, we must, in council, answer the questions, “What are the long term consequences of this action? What if everyone was doing this?” We are all encouraged to think through and provide our answers. When we feel we know to the best of our ability what the long term consequences might be, we can then make a better decision about what we will or will not do as a community.

Indigenous peoples the world over were invited to accept apologies and reparation. We asked them to teach us how to do ceremony, how to live with the Earth as full partners, and to guide us to live in sacred ways. There was a long period of trauma healing, as every person remaining carried the DNA of generations of trauma.

Ritual and ceremony become the norm, with everybody taking turns creating and adding their own personal flavor to community rituals. The aboriginals of Australia have shown us how to use Fire to keep our land healthy. The peoples of the Amazon rainforest are teaching us how to build food forests as part of our natural ecosystem. Our local native populations have been helping us learn to listen deeply to the Earth and what is needed to heal. “Act locally, connect globally” means we are responsible for where we live and the land we utilize, but that we are also connected to every other community around the world, making this planet a truly unique collaboration of all life.

There is no such thing as “health care” anymore. After the collapse, and when we began to work with the Indigenous peoples, we learned how to communicate not only with our own bodies but with microbes, bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, animals, etc. Part of this model of working with Nature came from Perelandra and Findhorn, some came from Native peoples of the world and some from the healers who had been working for humanity their whole lives. There is very little imbalance in physical health, in large part because all foods are grown and eaten with respect and integrity. There is no junk food to get sick on, no medicines to suppress symptoms, and each person is responsible for their day to day health. Many alternative healing modalities flowered after the collapse, and part of our personal responsibility for health includes freely visiting the practitioners we feel drawn to, collaborating together to continue to live in the most vital way possible. People are literally vital until they choose to die and go to their next journey. We still have doctors, but it is more informal and like a country doctor of old that travels around and helps those in need. The gypsy wagons of the doctors are quite charming! There are still small hospitals for setting bones, and
an occasional surgery that might be necessary, but there is less need for that since we learned how to heal on the cellular level. Cannabis was used medicinally as well as ceremonially, but again, as we have learned to heal with sound and light, there is less and less need for external solutions. There is virtually no addiction because people are doing what they love, surrounded by community, and all their basic needs are met. For those same reasons, there is no crime. Because we know how to evolve our emotions, there is no chance for triggers to fester and explode. Instead, we have learned how to transform feelings into creative power that benefits the whole.

The darkness and the silence are considered as valuable as the water, air and earth, so there is very little artificial light at night. There is so much light from the stars that true darkness is actually hard to come by! Fireflies and night pollinators have returned in record numbers, and we are finding night blooming plants that have never been identified before. Nature is taking advantage of the love and blessing us with an abundance of beauty.

Books continue to be quite popular. They are printed on hemp and at least 25% of every community consists of writers of all genres. Dystopian fiction is popular because it lets us imagine some of the other possible futures from 2023 that we did NOT choose. Storytelling is quite popular and most evenings you can find a fire somewhere in your village or city where someone is telling an epic tale. We have learned that the stories we tell each other and the stories we focus our attention upon are the stories that create our reality. So we have become good caretakers of our words.

I could go on and on, but you get the general idea. This is the world you longed to live in from the time you were a young girl, and here you are. And it is because, when the collapse came, you pulled yourself out of the craziness and focused your creative
energy on the future you believed in. Those who made a different choice, it looked like you died, and to you, it looked like they died. But no one died, everyone just went to the timeline they were most invested in. I want to thank you from 2040 for the work you did, staying true to your heart’s desire and believing in this future. Much love from your 86 year old (still vibrant, still loving life!) self.
