Planet Earth, our Mother, is on the brink of Environmental/Ecological Disaster…and, if we continue our war-like, fear/greed-based behavior, we may even be consumed by a nuclear holocaust.

Seers, prophets, ancient ones have predicted that our techno-civilization may be wiped out within this decade – sinking without trace like that once-great civilization Atlantis – but Mother Earth will survive; indeed Mother Earth is poised to Ascend from the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension…

At one extreme – star-trekkers expect Scottie to beam us up to Mother Ships…and set us down on a magically green-again Earth, once the fires have burnt out and the floods have receded.

At the other extreme – the devout pin all their faith on Christ the Saviour coming again in human form and beaming the faithful up to Heaven.

Meanwhile – what do the middle-of-the-road folks (like you and I) do? What are our beliefs and how do we empower ourselves to do our bit to save ourselves, our communities and our precious Planet.

I say, ‘Heed the wake-up calls of the great Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce; put into practice the teachings of the great philosopher-clairvoyant Dr Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) founder of Anthroposophy and so many other great Teachers of today…

In the thousands of readings that Cayce gave, a few hundred individuals recalled a life-time in Atlantis and Cayce said while in trance that it is these same Atlanteans who are incarnating in droves at this time. They have come again because Earth’s industrial-techno-driven civilization has reached that high point which Atlantis once did…before the power-hungry Atlanteans accidentally blew their continent up. They did this through unleashing forces beyond their control. Now, once again, these Atlanteans see their chance to pursue the agendas which had been aborted, de-railed, when Atlantis sank without a trace.

Are we, in our corporate-political all-out pursuit of material wealth and power…despite irrefutable evidence that all of Earth’s eco systems are dead or dying because of human activities -- heading for the same fate?

The Spiritual Beings (Angels, Devas) are ever ready to help - Steiner taught – but we humans have been given free will and they can only help mankind if we turn to them.

The prognosis is not good…if you have seen the docu-movies, Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth and the even more powerful and indepth 11th Hour, and read what United Nantions Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon just said. Ban says that it appears that Earth is heading for an “abrupt and irreversible end”. We are truly at the 11th hour. But why? And what can we do?

Clairvoyant Rudolf Steiner already ‘saw’ during the 1920s, the forces of degeneration inherent in modern culture…He said, “the forces that have so far guided human progress will be exhausted by the middle of this century.” And Steiner also spoke of an ‘acute illness of civilization’, “a civilization that has become increasingly materialistic and blind to the complementary reality of the spirit.” To the truth that we humans are both matter (the physical form) and spirit.

And Steiner taught that it is not only human thinking (i.e. morals and ethics) that has degenerated but “the metabolic processes (i.e. our digestive system, feeding on the putrifying corpses of land and sea animals) influence, unconsciously, human instincts and passions, bringing them to the highest level of egoism, such that people simply make claims and demands, instead of developing social impulses of fellow feeling.”

The Spiritual Beings (Angels, Devas) are ever ready to help - Steiner taught – but we humans have been given free will and they can only help mankind if we turn to them. They cannot impose. “Their laws require them to deal with free men and not with puppets.”
