The economic downturn has made more and more ‘experts’ come forward with gloomy predictions for the world's future. 

I do not share this pessimistic attitude. I think the crisis is part of a necessary cleansing process. In this way, we live in a very exciting time. The very ‘transition time’. 

I think the world’s money power and capitalism as it has been exercised is bad and unfair in many ways. I am skeptical also about many of the other 'isms'. In my opinion, greed and desire for power have defined the various 'isms' and the world for far too long.

Many of the problems they have created have been nurtured by unhealthy egoism. Money has become our god, a deceitful god. Therefore, many countries are struggling today. Many innocent people suffer as a result thereof. 

Yet I am optimistic. For I see that a whole new type of people is coming. New leaders. Many of today's children and young people. What I see is forward-looking youngsters with good balance within themselves and their 'other dimension'; their divine origin.

‘The land of smiles’ is under development. The new kids, the new human type, seem to have come to Earth with a special mission: to assist the Earth and its inhabitants in the transition and the 'rebirth' as a planet with higher awareness and better interpersonal understanding. 

I feel that these children already understand that today's materialism is not the answer. Some of them seem to have access to gifts of clairvoyance and communication at higher levels. 

These children are born with a high degree of natural intelligence, sensitivity and vision. They are creative, and often have easy access to both the left and right brain halves, making them artistically gifted, but also technologically competent and adventurous. As if they represent the universal consciousness. 

A very significant aspect of this evolutionary development is that new-people do not keep their abilities and qualities for themselves. It is as if they have come to the planet to share their innate wisdom with others.

I believe that they, by their very presence, will help a lot to experience and understand these new 'vibrations' and thus open up more of their own abilities and potential. 

One of the gifts the ‘new-people’ seem to bring with them during this transitional period, is that even today’s people become more aware of who they really are. The inner, the spiritual is already becoming more apparent. 

So far in human history, it appears that our physical forms have locked us inside ourselves. The much finer vibrations of higher dimensions have somehow never been let out in free expression. It has always been a gap, a wall, between the material manifestation of the human body and the higher consciousness we all have inside us. 

Now a new state, new openness, a new freedom is on its way. In the new situation, many will gain easier access to both material and spiritual 'realms'. It will no longer be as great a need for meditation or concentration, since access to the spirit world is becoming so much more open. 

Fear, anxiety, aggression, envy, slander, arrogance, greed and distrust as we know them in today's society will slowly fade away. They will no longer plague mankind. 

The new folks will fully understand and be very conscious of own strength and creativity. On who they are. They will be aware that they are different from present days’ people. They will also be confident in themselves, without being haughty or arrogant. 

In the first phase of the transformation period, they will increasingly be exposed to insult and aggression from the old folks, but that would worry them little. They are very conscious of where they come from and what mission they have in the creation of the new world. 

Dalai Lama's words above describe well our today’s problem. Our lives revolve around money. We do not have the time for or understanding of ourselves and our loved ones. We are not aware of who we are. And because of this lack of awareness, we, the people, have created a planet of sorrow, suffering and stress.

The constant pursuit of money does not let individuals to prioritize their own thoughts, feelings and actions. Fear of not surviving due to lack of resources has led to greed and imbalances. There is much that must be corrected if we are to make a planet where all people are satisfied and happy. But it seems that more and more feel and understand this now. 

The new generation of people will find solutions to problems in a whole new way. Our days’ tendency to think in tunnels will be replaced by free thoughts, more creativity. Monetary systems will be replaced by more equitable earnings and distribution models. Greed cultures will evaporate. 

Our time’s great advances in information technology have made ​​it incredibly easy to collect and acquire knowledge. The new time will clearly demonstrate how all of this information can best be applied to the progress of humanity. Knowledge will no longer be enough, now it’s time for implementation and action. 

The future will be integral. Brain halves and the human spirit will play together as never before. Individuals will find it easier to find their places in a larger whole. New plans will be developed in accordance with the holistic view lines. Two plus two is more than four in the right context. 

Within my field, architecture, the new architects and site planners will far better understand that all elements must play together holistically. The new communities being developed will follow the old days of village thinking. It will be developed neighborhoods where people take care of each other. The workplace, school, residential, cultural and recreational activities will be located near each other. Segregation will be replaced by multifunctional communities. Cars will largely be redundant. 

Experts from the present, past, will at first have difficulty understanding what is happening. But they will soon see that the old models no longer work. New people will take over their positions, but in an integral, non-selfish way. 

Humanity has much wisdom to look forward to in the land of smiles. I think.
