The Future - Where Are We Headed?
After gathering enough information about our overall current condition in the world, some reasonable conclusions can be drawn.
The direction we are headed in (based on where we currently are and where we have come from) is that of self-destruction.

Expansive unrestricted consumption of resources ends one way: with no more resources.
Does that mean we need government to control us? No. We can develop self-control and learn to reduce our self-deluded wants, wishes, whims and desires to obtain so many material things.
We do not have developed "heart" centers of true care. The care we have is to care for "me", "myself" and "I", and those close around me that I identify with the most, my family, friends, etc. It's about "my freedom, "my truth", and "my survival". That's the general way of life we have, despite most people not being aware of it.

Our current method of living involves extreme exploitation in order to sustain our level of comfort and standard of living. We exploit other humans, other animals, and the rest of the planet, just to get what we "want" or "desire". I've warned about attachment as a big problem which I will talk about here as well. But desire is another big problem. Many deluded and self-destructive desires are adopted by human consciousness in the pursuit of the pleasure trap to "feel-good". A continuation of this process will lead to extermination of most species on the planet, and in the end our own.
![vandalism and progress](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://evolveconsciousness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/vandalism-and-progress.jpg)
People right now are really hoping that we can change things around. People really want to believe that they can hold on to the way things currently are.
I have some disturbing news for those people: they have not looked at the situation honestly enough in order to calculate how things need to change in order for us to survive. Those who fantasize about living in cities and maintaining the concrete jungle way of living might be able to keep it for their lifetime, but it will eventually disintegrate in the coming century, if not sooner.
![pay to live](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://evolveconsciousness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/pay-to-live.jpg)
In order for people to live in cities, other people have to agree to be slaves to the system, producing food for small return on their labor. They even need government funding because the sustainability of growing food for others at the price they do is not possible without the extra funding. This happens while people get to abdicate their personal responsibility and do not develop sustainability and self-sufficient means of their own survival.
As soon as you give up your ability to produce your own food, you are becoming completely codependent on another's existence and perpetuation to maintain your survival. This is why the future does not look very good. People are so attached to the way things currently are that the direction of change we need to head in will leave people without a means of adequate survival.
Do you think it's fair for someone to have to produce food for everyone else? If you do, go quit your job and go become a plant farmer, and produce the life sustenance that everyone depends on and be paid so little for the life-support you provide to the system. Then tell me if you want to do that, and be a slave to other people to feed them.
![5 basic resources](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://evolveconsciousness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/5-basic-resources.jpg)
Those who provide the food for everyone have the most power on the planet. Energy is insignificant in terms of basic survival.
We are only attached to energy in order to maintain the level of comfort and amusement with technology that we have. The only thing required for life to survive is water, food and air. Shelter is very useful and is absolutely required where cold temperatures exist or else we die from that cold.
I will repeat: the most powerful people on this planet are people who produce food for others to eat. Without them, everyone is dead.
Do you understand this? Without food production, everyone is dead because everyone depends on a system of dependence for survival.
Hardly anyone is growing their own food.
If we weren't polluting our water it would be available to many for survival, but again, the pollution we create is part of our self-inflicted suffering whereby we ensure a dependence on this degenerate system. As a result, the future of water looks grim, and it has already become a highly valuable resource in the past 2 decades.
Forget oil for energy, the future will be about water for survival.
There is a possibility that the future will not be so bad, but it requires us letting go of so much we are attached to, that I do not see people doing it until they actually have it taken from them without their choice.
People do not want to let go of their current standard of living, their current luxuries they have in their lives. That is why they have no concern for the truth to begin with, because the only thing they are concerned with are their own selfish desires, their survivability, the quality of their standard of living, the amount of luxuries in their life and how comfortable and easy everything is, to have the "good life".
The future of humanity is in for a rude awakening, an awakening that will come about through the teachings of chaos, the teachings of pain, and the teachings of suffering.
![fuller, change model](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://evolveconsciousness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/fuller-change-model.jpg)
For many people, they will only let go of what they have become attached to once it has been destroyed and taken away.
If we don't want a rude awakening, we need to recognize the things that really matter for our survival and become more self-sufficient in being able to provide for ourselves without dependence on this crooked co-dependent system we currently live in.
The most important is our food, water and shelter. Everything else we are accustomed to needs to be recognized as less significant, and we need to let go of our attachment to those things in our lives.
We can still use energy while it's here, and technology, and other things that benefit us, but we need to let go of the attachment of thinking those things are necessary for us to progress into the future. Maybe we will need to accept losing some things as we transition away from a globalist secret society controlled way of life. Some people just want to control us and use us as universal constructors to fuel their way of life.
They want to convince us that their way of life is our way of life, and that we can't change it.
They want to keep us locked into learned helplessness of accepting their rules and false ways of living. We have the power to change it, or let it keep going on.
Attachment to many of the things we fear losing in our modern comfortable times, will limit the availability of the best possible choices for us to make in order to turn things around and create lasting positive change.
I'm not talking about Band-Aids, but a real new way of life. The current system has much falsity in it,a nd is dying.
A new way of life is radical to the current way of living. It requires an enormous amount of personal responsibility, self-governance, self-control, persistence and determination to change our ways of living and become more self-reliant. The main HQ work I put out is in an effort to bring this about in each of us. We change the world by first changing ourselves. Everyone needs to understand their own personal responsibility in bringing about change, whether its local or global. Truth is the way out.

Should we deny the gloomy future because we want to believe it won’t happen?
“You’re crazy, we don’t need to be growing gardens for our own food!”
No matter what, we are going to have to start growing our own food, and get out of these huge lifeless cities that require everything to be imported to them for them to sustain our own lives.
When people recognize their sovereignty, and are no longer slaves in consciousness, there is no longer any obligation for them continue doing what they do, perpetuation a diseased system, working for money by filling in an economic niche that allows survivability and maintenance of the luxuries we are currently attached to.
If we all cooperated on the basics, we would have over 3/4 of each month to do what we want and pursue our intrinsic motivations to excel and better the human world. We all have that deep down but it gets covered and lost in the conditioning of society and falsity around us. But this can't be done in cities as they are currently designed. They were designed to fail since man created them. But we just keep building up big centers that depend on outside factors to sustain it. We don't learn from our mistakes and just keep thinking they got it wrong somehow, rather than rethink the whole model.
![humans vs other animals importance](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/http://evolveconsciousness.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/humans-vs-other-animals-importance.jpg)
An evolution in consciousness on many fronts needs to happen. People need to become like polymaths, learning enough about many things, not being a master or expert of one or a few things alone. That way, you can see the bigger picture because you have more of the various pieces that fit together from so many categories, instead of a lot on a single or few categories.
Neither the planet or any other species requires human animals for survival (unless we have already messed up their species with co-dependency upon us).
Want to see what the world looks like without us?

Good riddance if we don't change, we are asking for it... We are going to reap the actions of past generations ("past lives") as "karma" we brought upon ourselves.
I can talk more about solution if people want (let me know). Understanding their validity, and how to create them, does require changes in how to think, to think better, to care for truth, to learn about philosophy, psychology, morality, etc. which is what my main work is about. Those are the foundations to get where we want to, no matter the different solution we envision as a better possible future.
Thank you for your time and attention! I appreciate the knowledge reaching more people. Take care. Peace.

Hence why I'm working at this..
Decentralized Urban Farming - Growing Food at Home Made Easy
https://steemit.com/farming/@kevinwong/decentralized-urban-farming--growing-food-at-home-made-easy
But it's still a WIP, longer than expected. And as indicated in that old post of mine - if you know anyone else into this or interested in dabbling in it yourself.. definitely could use more people to do the research as well
Not easy to tell people to change, but if there are products / open-source designs and info for anyone to do this themselves, then part of the problem is solved. @krnel
I'm working on something kind of similar... https://steemit.com/steem/@steveo/yardbounty-a-steem-dapp-idea-for-turning-suburbia-into-a-local-food-mecca-follow-up
One of the most powerful, if not the most powerful article I have read yet on this platform. It is upvoted, resteemed and shared on my Facebook as well to over 600 people. Thank you so very much for moving the ego with the rudeness of awakening it deserves in order to actually change.
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
These are important topics for people to think about indeed. Thank you for the support and feedback. :)
Yes, people should become more independent and try to produce their own food and (I think it is important as well) also their own energy. I try my best: we have a garden, a photovoltaic system and an energy storage.
But as soon as you are part of the "hamster wheel", it is not so easy to escape anymore. For example if you own some ground the state (and often also some banks you have to pay) takes a lot of fees: so you are forced to stay part of the system and keep doing your work ... especially if you are not responsible for yourself only but also for the rest of the family ... Nevertheless I agree with your point of view.
By the way I think one small part of the food problem could be solved if more people would consider to eat insects as well (I would do) which altogether have a really huge biomass and contain a lot of proteins.
Can we have a list? Maybe we should also get out of city living...though i believe having veggie plots is a must to sustain ourselves.
Yeah they always scam us in some way so we can't be free. Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful. Shared in facebook :)
Wow, it is excellent topic. It is upvote=) I like this post. Good job @krnel. Thank you=)
Great job @krnel
