< Cover of "Miracles of Hope: Surviving and Thriving in the 21st Century"[/caption]Globally things are hotting up and with the recent disruption of the American economy as the most recent indicator, there is no doubt that we are manifesting all the disruption of a culture in the throes of a great change. Globally we are witnessing the dramatic death throes of the old world order and there can be no doubt that we are a global community in transition as hypothosised in my book Miracles of Hope: Surviving and Thriving in the 21st Century.

Change of this magnitude will not be accomplished without enormous dissention and anxiety which could be seen in a negative light. And, yes, the short-term effects of realigning ourselves to another reality are bound to be painful, however, underlying the negativity is a groundswell of change in human attitudes and actions that signify an enormous shift in human consciousness – and this is immensely positive. There is no doubt that we are living in extraordinary times!
