Our future on this planet is in the hands of those who are now PARENTS or about to become ones. My plan for thriving, happy, compassionate humankind is very simple: all we need is a critical mass of CHILDREN that are not 'programmed' on pain and suffering during their formative period. In 20 years, the world will belong to them. Babies who were gently and lovingly welcomed into this world are not just ‘wired’ differently, they are wireless!
It is time for us to understand that the huge mess we, the people, have created on this planet is a direct result of parenting practices that were normal for thousands of years. Those who were in charge of human history so far, were severely deprived of mother’s milk, warmth, tenderness, intimate connection, father’s respect, skillful nutrition. We are witnessing where that got us: 250 wars around the globe, pollution, unsustainable lifestyle…
This mess is so huge that I don’t believe there is anybody, among those who are adults now, who knows what to do with it. The way we, the people, have been so far - is what created this mess in the first place…
The new, upgraded, version of humans is on their way. Have you heard of 'the 100th monkey effect'? - In 20 years these kids will take over. The way they think, relate to each other, lack of aggression, anxiety, have no need to create chaos, etc., have deep understanding of emotional dynamics – all of it makes them able to see the big picture and find the solutions that we can’t see right now. But of course for this to happen, we need to rise to the occasion and provide the safe landing for these angels to embody. We are here to help them grow and mature into who they already are.
The best part is: we actually already have the critical mass of them :) But the more the merrier! The war is over!
And how do I know that? Well, prophecies are nice and old, but I got it from a more reliable source – newborns and toddlers. Anyone who looked into their eyes lately, with the intent to get it, can receive this message. Just look at them! They would not be coming here if it’s all over! They did not come here to die. They came to this planet to enjoy being alive, - to clean up this mess and have fun. This new generation is amazing – brilliant and strong, equipped in a way we could only dream of! All we need to do is to give them a proper welcome!
I’ve been doing this work for nearly 30 years on all 5 continents, and what I see leaves me deeply satisfied. WE DID IT!!!
The End of the World is cancelled!!!
Blessings!

From physicist Lawrence Krauss’s book (“A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing”):
“While lithium is important to some people, far more important to the rest of us are all the heavier nuclei like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, and so on. These were not made in the Big Bang. The only place that they can be made is in the fiery cores of stars. And the only way they could get into your body today is if these stars were kind enough to have exploded, spewing their products into the cosmos, so they could one day coalesce in and around a small blue planet located near the star we call the Sun. Over the course of the history of our galaxy, about 200 million stars have exploded. These myriad stars sacrificed themselves, if you wish, so that one day you could be born.”
Stars are our ancestors... I can live with that...
