[Rod Rippel]

BlankGeorge, John, Jack..
One insight captured in the God Lecture is that every period is experienced as a tension between a dying and emerging underlying spirit.  The passing situation and experience is in conjunction with the new possibility coming into being.

Taking your categories/projections applied to the present might look something like this for the 00's

Strux'l collapse,                           Sitn.                        & Wonderment

                                                                                  pure potential

Who do I trust?                             Exist. ?                    How to structure
