I do not think that what the world needs is more fear or dread. Because of this, I have seldom told to anyone a dream I had over thirty-five years ago. I have figured that unless I have something to offer towards avoiding the worst possible outcome pictured in the dream, there was no use making things worse and more painful by being a prophet of doom. Besides, how could I be sure it was not just a creation of my own unsettled mind, not a fore-telling of the future? I want no one to unthinkingly take my dream for the truth.  Anyone reading this must determine for themselves  whether or not these things could happen or are happening. I do not know even myself, though it appears to me they are indeed occurring as I was told and saw they would. 

So why tell this dream? With the hope that being forewarned will encourage anyone to do what they know and can do to help assure survival of life on earth and as much as possible, lessen any pain and suffering by any preparation that can be done. I think it turns out that any such action , since more than likely it will prove beneficial for what ever occurs, no time or efforts will be wasted.  What is needed for present circumstances and challenges will also serve everyone well if these dire events continue to occur and increase in frequency and intensity. Any doubt or fear that arises can be and must be, transformed into purposeful, useful actions. Learning how best to become most self-sufficient and independent of outside forces that are unreliable and less than healthy ways to live for ourselves, our families and the planet is, I think, a worthy endeavor regardless of what the future holds.

The Dream

A man walks up to me in the dream, looks me directly in the eyes and says aloud my full name, giving me the conviction he knows me through and through. indicating he knows me through and through. He says he is going to tell me what is going to happen "soon" in a surprisingly shorter time than we  expect possible. His following message was this: unless those who understand the result of catastrophic events which will continue to increase in frequency and intensity, and DO what they know to do, and can do to see that as many as possible survive them, there will be no life left on earth.  This is entirely up to us.

These events will build in frequency and power until they culminate in a three-and-half year period of utter chaos and anarchy, with disruption of everything we have become accustomed to, and dependent upon. The open question is not whether the events I saw occur exactly as if I were there as he described them,  but whether or not anyone, even any life, survives what will occur. 

Upon awakening, I pretty much lost memory of the specific details of the events that fell out, only the extreme nature of them and the panic and chaos they brought about. I did however retain several points he emphasized as important to remember as these things occur. 

.... these events are not to be taken as a matter of punishment from 'God' or supernatural forces, but instead as strictly cause-and-effect consequences of our own human choices, already made, unavoidable now. The most important thing now, understanding this, is what we DO now to help as many as possible survive. 

Of course, I think it goes without saying that we start making different choices, learning from our mis-takes, though he did not say this in the dream. Still this would not prevent what is already coming upon us from past choices from occurring.
The still open question is whether or not any life will survive these events, not whether or how to prevent or avoid them. 

The answer to the still open question is again solely up to us. this he repeated several times. This is the most important thing to realize, he said. We should not think there was going to be some form of super-natural intervention to prevent total extinction of life on earth, apart from human choice and actions. If humans do not do what is required to survive what is coming upon us, that solely from our own past choices, NOT punishment, not retribution from God or Gods, but simple and direct consequence the outcome is certain. No life left on the surface of the earth. 

There will be no intervention to avoid the natural consequences of our human choices since, he said, what occurs on the earth is a human issue and is up to humans alone. This is what he said to me in the dream. We have no one else to blame is not the point, only understanding our choices and learning from them.

If you and I DO nothing to see that life survives, there will very soon be no life left on earth. This is what he said several times. There will be a period of increasing frequency and magnitude of 'natural' and social political events culminating in a three-and-one-half year period of utter chaos and anarchy. Unless measures are taken, there will be no life left surviving at the end of this 3 1/2 year period. he said "Everyone will go insane." everything would be so unsettled.  Unless provisions are made for such an occurrence, no one will survive this three and one half year period. 

... the outcome he said is not to be considered as predetermined, predestined or fated.  It is NOT.  Again.  Only the result of human choice ... simple and straight forward ... if adequate actions on all fronts, inwardly and otherwise, the result is certain.  What occurs is totally dependent on us. So he said over and over so there would be no doubt about this

If enough is done (true at least at the time of the dream, now over thirty five years ago) enough life can survive to carry on future human developments upon the earth. Otherwise humans will not continue to be involved with what occurs on the earth since obviously there will be no bodies left to procreate.

... His message to me and anyone else that cares about the outcome, was to act as if the outcome depended solely on us, since indeed it does. 

 
There .... that's it. It gets no worse, or disturbing than this except the actual living of it. But what could be more so? 

Now ... how to live with, and what to do, with such information? I have asked this over and over each and every day all these years. That is, at a minimum, around 12,000 times. The answer has come down to: only what I can do, today, right now, and I assure you, that has not seemed like much, to date.

And I am fortunate. Presently I have the use of four acres on earth, about twenty chickens, a great help-mate, and super-dog, a shovel and a few other tools, and a small social security check that is deposited each month in my bank account. 

I spent yesterday planting seeds in the greenhouse I built last summer from mainly recycled materials. There is now talk of a possible bird flue pandemic. If this should reach here, will I have to just exterminate the chickens? Last night I decided no, I think now I will begin digging an earth sheltered chicken coup which might allow these few chickens to survive and not threaten our and the neighbor's chances of survival. Personally, I think we have great debt to be paid to all the zillions of chickens we slaughter and rob of their eggs, under the most un-humane of living conditions. I just like chickens period. How powerless am I in determining what happens between me and these chickens? What is my responsibility? How about all the other creatures our actions have effected and obviously are driving to extinction? If things occur upon the surface of the earth and in the oceans to destroy the intricate web of life, and there are now plenty of scenarios we know for fact this could happen, what is my response ability? heavy questions for sure. If you have such thoughts and wish to, please share them with me. 

-----------------

As the man in the dream described what was going to occur, I experienced the events exactly as if I were there, either reading or hearing about them and watching them on tv (as I did the leveling of the world trade center, the Sumatra Tidal Wave, and Katrina) and also being on location for some of them ... these things were happening world-wide, both here in the USA and abroad.  Fortunately, I think for me, most of the specific details were lost within a few minutes of awakening. No one could function, or would want to, with these experiences and feelings in mind each moment of every day.

Each person has to decide based on his or her own information and experience whether this is just nonsense or that it could be so if they do not have their own source of private tuition. Jesus certainly is reported in the NT to have predicted this period "Unlike any that has ever happened before", he said.  Following the news since the time of the dream, it does indeed seem to me to be falling out just as the man in the dream said, and what I read now in the new testament. I don't can't take it on authority, but now I see with my own eyes what is occurring.

Seeing this, I realize how totally unprepared I am, and how much I have not done what I probably could have all these years, had I accepted this was indeed going to occur. At my age, it isn't that important to my own welfare, though no one would prefer to go through these types of things.  When even my wife and other family members, and none of my acquaintances pay any attention to anything I say about it, let alone encourage others to prepare for it, has offered rationalization for not doing more.

Until the last couple years, aside from all out nuclear war, I could not imagine how what human kind has done alone could bring about conditions that made it possible that no forms of life could survive on earth. The overview we now have now provides adequate evidence that it could happen, and has even come close to happening before. Some of the brightest and most practical minds are now saying this, not just 'Kooks' or doomsayers with sandwich boards over there shoulders on our sidewalks. So there is adequate reason to believe, I guess, just about anything one wishes too. But I see and hear about the exact type of events that I did see in vision occurring. I myself tend to think the chances are good that I saw true in the dream.

 

One major fact alone could account for the diverse consequences of climate change and all that results ... the re-release of billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, previously removed and stored below the oceans and the surface of the land by life itself. The burning of carbon fuels.  The of these hydrocarbons on the soil has also played major roles in the destruction of the very life that5 could even now remove in a few short years the extra concentrations we have added the past 100 years with many other benefits to life on earth as well. whether we choose this life over more death is solely our human decision.  All the many other social unrests caused by ignorance and unwillingness to treat others as we would ourselves wish to be treated, amplified now by the new pressures and chaos, I think easily could lead to what this man in my dreams described. I am just relating how I see it, understanding each person must reach their own conclusions and insights. I am not saying I am correct and honestly hope I am mistaken. Not pleasant news to be sure, but thoughts in my mind now, considering this dream.

-----------

What to do? was/is the question. This fellow certainly did not tell me anything about this. That apparently too is solely my choice. 

Of most primary importance in chances for our survival is probably ones overall view of the world and life. Most of the formative and surprising dreams I have had (two here recorded) occurred before this one. Now it was almost to me as if someone had told me, now you know enough, do what you can, and chose, about it.  Things are fine in heaven, in 'the higher worlds'.  It's what's occurring here on earth that needs attention.

At the end of the dream, this man took me to a small group of persons, and left. When I introduced myself, giving my full name as this man had done when he first walked up to me in the dream, they laughed-out-loud, and someone said, "Oh no you are not, you are ....," giving the name of a person with whom I was playing the student role and modeling my life after at the time of the dream. Obviously I had not yet 'found' myself and my own sense of direction, playing a role not of my own making. I was soon to learn I could do better making my own mistakes rather than duplicate his.

I was completely at loss as to what to offer or say to these persons about what I had been told, and woke up, in a daze. I still often feel much the same way. I I can see a few things that have occurred in my life since then and gained a few skills with some knowledge and interests developing which might be relevant to surviving such a time ... but there are very few 3-d manifestations or models extant. The responsibility laid upon me by just having this dream has in fact been disturbing to me, as you might imagine if it had been you that had this dream.

Whether or not things unfold as he said they are doing and will, It appears to me that what we can do now is apt to be the best we can do for things as they are today as well as tomorrow, regardless of further developments.

Becoming as self-sufficient as possible, learning to work together with neighbors, (and even oneself!) learning alternative ways to supply food water, shelter, warmth and cooling without amplifying and hastening our demise cannot be wasted time or effort. If one wishes to not think about it and let what happen, happen, that is what will occur. What happens, without us. There is, I think, always plenty to do to influence what happens around us, if only accepting and forgiving what does occur. 

Most of the measures, such as gardening and earth-sheltered structures, which are, I think, practical ways to now ameliorate world-wide pain and suffering will also be required to help as many as possible to survive if these drastic events continue to unfold.

What is required is NOT sitting back and watching them occur but doing something we can and know to do about it. I turned on our kerosene Monitor heater this morning to heat our house, which we thought not long ago at all was such a great, inexpensive way to heat our abode. This was not some separate ogre of a corporation that did this, but me, knowing what fumes it was putting out into the air as well as about the $3.50 per gallon it was costing us to burn it. So I do not have to look very far to find something that I need to attend to and make things better for all. 

Now I am very aware, even embarrassed when I  see and smell the foul fumes pouring out of the outside vent. Likewise when I see the obvious contrails of at least twenty airliners in the sky over head, yet contemplate taking a trip across country to visit family and friends. Think I will pass on that, knowing I can not do that in good conscience any more. I will have to go to town Monday we will drive to town and back (32 miles) to replenish our shelves and small larder, even though we have done some canning and food drying last summer ... which itself burned coal for the electricity we use.  I participated in all this, not just as a victim of circumstances or others.

As a member of the human race, I am as culpable as the next person for not having yet come up with or following better ways of living as stewards of the earths bounty. I have poisoned the air, the water and the land as has everyone else. To expect not to have to suffer the consequences would not now simply be realistic. When drastic measures are required to even mollify some of these obvious consequences, for example, refusing to buy another drop of gasoline or kerosene, to buy anything non organic and shipped long distances from a grocery store or materials mined and manufactured from a building supply company ... well, you get the idea. What are we to do? What do you know to do? Fortunately, there are many persons now conscientious and intelligent enough to be asking these questions, thinking these thoughts.

It is my humble intent in putting together this web-site, as amateurish and unskilled as I am, to gather and suggest directions we can now take, purposeful and practical things we can do, for today and preparatory for the days ahead.  I know there are many more persons out there who also have had these kinds of leadings, and who have knowledge and skills to contribute to the grand-effort that is required if what the man in my dream told me is indeed so.  Maybe we can together help answer what hopefully still is an open question in the affirmative. Yes human life, and other forms of life will survive what is coming upon us and we can continue to learn what this earth experience has to offer us

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree wholeheartedly with anyone that might be inclined to point out at this point that what we have projected, and hence perceive, is not what it appears at all, on the surface, and is a most convincing dream. Whether or not we continue to appear as bodies in the earth is not our primary, deepest concern. In fact, realizing this is undoubtedly the most important lesson to be learned, and probably the most important single key to survival when otherwise fear and panic can mean the difference between what we do and not do, perhaps opposite of what we might choose out of fear.

Trying to save this life beyond all other considerations, we can lose it. Laying down our life for others is the greatest gift we can make, even for our own overall good ... returning Home. Since everyone of us apparently will die relatively soon regardless of what falls out in the immediate future, especially we folk up here in years need to manifest and give what we do have towards the survival of the younger generations ... those who can still reproduce and take up life again after these changes have occurred. At the least we will still have open the opportunity to 'return' again if still needful or helpful for us. Otherwise, not. I also have had vision of what it can be like to want to be back in the earth and not be able to ... compounded by full realization of our degree of responsibility for not being able to. Not a pleasant vision, I assure you. 

I really cannot say, nor am I trying to convince anyone else what is true. In my dream,  'Doing' does have importance in the outcome of things. Not just meditating or praying when we know more, or can DO more. making the inner and the outer the same, and one, is apparently one of the teaching s of Yeshua as related in the Gospel of Thomas. And he advises finding the Living One while we are here and alive, lest after we die we no longer are able to do this. This to him, apparently was an important opportunity to help make a Happy dream out of a hellish nightmare, thus finding ourselves back Home where ever or when ever we are. Even in such a world of appearances and change.

The most we who are so fortunate to have learned that there is indeed more than meets the eye is to remain open to the Spirits guidance each moment, and not let any one else's leadings supercede this, certainly my own as well. 

Really, I think, actually there are no 'little' or 'large' things we can do ...it all counts up equally.  The 'terms' predestined and free-will, like every other apparent polarity require deeper understanding to arrive at the ineffable truth that includes both at the same time.

It is most often easier not to be taken totally by surprise when such disruptive things occur. To not feel hopeless and helpless is also of great moment.  To see things as they are, and being able to respond in constructive, purposeful, and voluntary and free autonomous ways ... that is my goal. Not to be optimistic nor pessimistic, but realistic. What more can I ask for, or be asked to do?

Maybe it should occur to us to say, what will be will be, and therefore just sit back and let it happen. When I hear this or think this, I often remember the episode in "Lawrence of Arabia" when a member of the caravan fell off his camel, unnoticed, and was left behind. When this was discovered, the Predestination crowd all said, "What will be, will be, it is God's will" and started to ride on.  Lawrence instead risked his life to turn around alone and go back, and he found the man alive, though just barely. He placed him over his camels back, and caught up again with the caravan. All he muttered when he faced the men was? Dang. I want to watch this again. Was it ... "It was God's will I rescue him," or something like that. ???  What was it he said? I wish I could remember. The underlying lesson behind it stuck with me all these years, though I do not remember the words. What will be will also include what we chose to do and not do.

Though I have had several surprising precognitive experiences myself where to me I have pre-experienced events that later unfold exactly the same in every minute detail as if it is truly the second time I have experienced it, it requires more than an on-the-surface understanding about what seems to be happening. This ineffable understanding includes a recognition that more is required than Do nothing because it is a all a pre-scripted dream. Why then eat, or get out of bed?  The roles we play are not unrelated to what we need to learn to change and transform the dream we are in, changing it's result

I guess anyone hearing this has to decide based on his or her own information and experience whether this is nonsense or that it might just be so. Jeshua is reported in the NT to have predicted such a period "Unlike any that has happened before", telling of the exact type of events I saw unfolding in the dream. The headlines of the day also seem to me to be ever closer in depicting such developments.  

At the time I had this dream, in the middle 70's, little or no mention was being made of global warming, at least I had not heard it, though environmental concerns were certainly on the rise. I wondered what could be the source of such dire natural events, and yet be the result of man's choices alone. Do humans cause tidal waves, earthquakes, meteors, or sunspots on the sun? Well, the latter is indeed suggested by Edgar Cayce, that the consciousness of man does directly effect what occurs on the sun, such as sun spot activity. But as far as direct cause and effect for most 'natural' calamities, we think of untoward effects as being more a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Certainly our choices do have a bearing on when and where we are. We even choose to live n places we know the probability is quite high we will 'suffer' earthquakes, floods and other disasters, based on previous history. No one of course can feel completely safe, anywhere they choose to live.

Now, learning the effects that are coming to light about our choice to burn fossil fuels and spread them on our land and in our water, and the direct results of melting ice caps, changing ocean currents, violent storms, and even causing ice ages in some places and global warming over all ... it is MUCH easier for me to accept that what this man told me in my dream could be so.

Respected scientist such as James Lovelock are saying some of the same things.  Today i read an article where he suggest we might best use our time now focusing on how we are going to survive what is coming upon us, rather than trying to stop the inevitable. This is the exact implication of what the man in this dream told me when he said that the only still open question was whether or not anyone would survive, not whether it was going to happen.

I would think however, as much as it is possible, it would  be useful as well while we can to try to live in ways that do not make things any worse, especially when there are obvious alternatives.

 I think it most likely, that both activities can be accomplished simultaneously. Learning how to most healthfully and efficiently grow ones own food, store it, restoring the soil instead of further poisoning it and the life that lives in it and on it offers a good example. We need not be dependent on the agri-business that survive off of such activities as killing insects, worms, and the tremendous plethora of microorganisms in healthy soils, all which aid plant growth, the greatest sequesters of C back not the soil.  This is how the coal and oil got there in the first place.

In fact, if Allen Yeomans Of Priority One ---We Can Stop Global Warming calculations are correct, if concerted effort is made to just restore and increase soil fertility just 1.6 % world wide, in ten years all the extra CO2 introduced into the atmosphere by man since the beginning of the industrial revolution could be again be absorbed into the soil. Simultaneous to this, all burning of fossil fuels must stop, and never be undertaken again, since this will only work once. Use the valuable oil and coal for other purposes, 'agriculture' NOT being one of them.  He proposes that nuclear energy along with the use of ethanol and biodiesal fuels for autos and power plants must be taken full advantage of, and if they are, most of present day life styles could be maintained and shared all over the world.

But the big IF to this, if it is true, will we do what is required NOW for this to happen. Ten years may be too late, if not already.  With the efforts and mega bucks behind fossil fuel industry doing whatever it can to see that this does not occur, and token measures proposed and passed by industry linked governments (such as only a 20% reduction in emissions the next 20 years .... well, I can see how the prophecy of this man in my dream and what I myself saw occurring is most likely to be the case. It is being widely recognized now that things are progressing much faster than the experts thought possible, not taking into account exponentially increasing self serving cycles such as increases methane emissions from melting permafrost and changing ocean temperatures and salt concentrations.

Lovelock predicts before the end of this century the only childbearing persons will be those living in the Northern Arctic regions, billions having perished in desert-like climates, famines and extreme mass exterminating weather and flooding. In the meantime, there will be many saying this all a hoax, or at best,terribly mistaken. Having had this dream, and now seeing what I consider rational men drawing the same conclusions, I feel more confidant in speaking up and offering my 2 cents about what can be done about it.

I recognize how much I have not done that I probably could have, all these years, seeing these events increase in frequency and intensity. Not so much for myself, since at my age, life obviously grows short regardless of what happens. I do have grandkids, and feel I owe whatever I can do for all kids and what I can repay for what I have gained have gained from this earth experience. Besides, I may want and need to come back again myself. How could I do that if no men or women live here anymore, let alone, no life left on the surface of the earth?

When family members, and few of my acquaintances pay little or no attention to anything I say about it, in fact soon tire of it, let alone take steps to prepare, I have rationalized not doing more. Now my wife listens closer to my deliberations, and does not object when I spend time building an underground storm shelter. She helps me a great deal in learning better how to garden, and as always, to maintain a positive attitude and hopeful outlook towards life. I figure now that I must be able myself to practice what I preach before anyone else is going to listen.

What to do? was/is a good question. This fellow certainly did not tell me anything about this, leaving it to my choice. Of most primary importance is probably ones overall view of the world and life. Most of the formative and surprising dreams I have had (two others here recorded - Everything dream and Spaceship dream) occurred before this one. It is almost as if, now you know enough, here is your task. Do this, then more will be given or Seen. Things are fine in heaven, in 'the higher worlds'.  It's what's occurring here on earth that needs attention.

And I am fortunate. I have the use of four acres of earth, twenty-five chickens, a great dog and help-mate, a shovel and a few other tools, and a very small social security check that is deposited each month in my bank account. I spent yesterday planting seeds in the greenhouse I built last summer from mainly recycled materials. Soon, Spring will be here and I can transplant the plants into the garden instead of having to buy them from the store. We have come to rely a lot on the food we grow ourselves. It's hard to think about all those millions who are solely dependent on the grocery stores, particularly in the cities.

There is now talk of a possible bird flue pandemic, and required registering every animal with the government, even insertions of miniature identification chips. If this should reach here, and there are few reasons to believe it will not, will I have to just exterminate the chickens? Last night I decided no, I think now I will begin digging an earth sheltered chicken coup which might allow these few chickens to survive without threatening our and the neighbor's chances of survival. I think we have great debt to be paid to all the chickens we've slaughtered and rob of their eggs, not all too kindly. I just like chickens period. How powerless am I in determining what happens between me and these chickens? What is my responsibility?
