Great Waves of Change

The Great Waves of change are the converging crises facing humanity in the years and decades to come: climate change, resource depletion, economic, social and political.

Second only to humanity's emergence into the Greater Community, the Great Waves constitute the greatest threat humanity as a whole has ever faced. The dangers of the Great Waves of change are made worse by the Greater Darkness, which is the extraterrestrial Intervention exploiting humanity's weakness and fragmentation to gain control over humanity and Planet Earth.

Directives

"Do not worry that others are not responding. Do not concern yourself that humanity remains ignorant and indulgent and foolish in its conquests and its conflicts."

Great Waves of Change, chapter 1

Short quotes

“In twenty years the world will be unrecognizable.”

The Prophet

The warning is now being sounded around the world by many sources, but the severity of the situation is not being recognized by many.

The Great Waves of Change, Chapter 13, p. 178

"Great upheaval will now occur and is beginning to occur—natural disasters born of humanity’s ignorance, overuse and misuse of the world."

The Recitation

Long quotes

"This is a time now to stop blaming others, to end your ceaseless debates, to set aside your grievances and your hostilities, to face the fact that you are going to have to live life much more simply in the future. You will be living in a world of great resource restraints. You will not be able to get around very easily. Everything will be very expensive and there will have to be a great emphasis on producing food and other necessary things on a much more local scale. There will have to be tremendous restraint of anger, blame and hostility if people are to make this necessary transition. So many assumptions and beliefs will have to be set aside to face the reality of your situation."

Metaphors

"It is as if the bill has come due. Humanity has been spending and borrowing its natural inheritance for so long and now the bill has come due."

"There is already fire burning in the world, and the embers for greater fires of conflict are being stoked, and the conditions are ripe for their emergence."
