The Below [more linear] chart:
Chart - "Interconnecting Key Elements in the Evolvement of Planet Earth"
One function of the chart is to give an idea of various primary areas important to human evolution, a little about how things may progress in any one given area, but very much about how progress in any one area may effect progress in another. As you read this essay's chart and text, the developments and increases in societal awareness, noted in any one area of focus, will be best understood when taken in context with that noted for other areas. This way of understanding -in referential context- might serve as one, very basic, functional component of the holographic age itself.
I hope the following is helpful in interpreting the more linear representation of the original flowchart:
I have attempted to use brackets to indicate some of the major cross-discipline connections to indicate how probabilities are likely that advances in various modalities lead to advances in various others. Many events in the (3rd) "Synergy" column would be brought about necessarily through integration of research in one or more of the above and/or below (1st column) "Discipline/Modalities," and also through development of increased awareness of areas noted in the 2nd "Areas of Research, Awareness, and Development" column. As a horizontal chart, any events noted are not necessarily listed in chronological order.
Therefore this chart does not indicate effectively (what I sense to be) the process of events in time for any one discipline, let alone all the critical cause & effect connections/integrations that may - now or eventually - exist [vertically] between the different disciplines and areas of research, awareness, and development. [In the not too distant future, I hope to use my current skills in chart-making to provide something far more illustrative of the interconnectedness and functional flow of cause and effect that I see among the elements depicted, as well as any chronology/time ranges indicated or estimated in the text of this essay. -cp, 3'07]
Assessing the how's, why's, and when's: In general, the charting and writing of the nature and timing of the events and their connections was developed with a mix of intuition and analysis. As the process happened, I was intuitively guided to recognize and fill in the apparent gaps in the event paths, to compare what developed from the process with certain role model systems and graded criteria to make the assessment of the "level" of evolution we appear to be at now, compared to what human potential might be along the corresponding points on the time lines that developed. I often used logical analysis to make many refinements after the first draft was written. I suppose that my assessing technological correlations and resulting inventions or developments would be easier for me if I had as much study in the history of invention and medical technology, as I have in the history of our psycho-spiritual development. I do have basic aptitude for for technical understanding and troubleshooting, and was even a telephone/teletype technician when in military service, although this work was far from exiting for me. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed doing the section, "Intuition Coming Home and Recovering the Holy Grail," which section resulted from a strong blend of intuition and technical knowledge. But what was the basis for my logical assessments?
Basis of assessment: First, I believe there are strong correlations between how a person develops through various phases of maturation -- emotionally and mentally, and thereby spiritually -- and how a society (in this case, of the planet as a whole) develops through phases. Also, I acknowledge there are broad extremes of maturity at any one time in history. I am referring to the overall collective consciousness, which has grown, it would seem, very, very slowly over the thousands of years on the planet. As for the yardstick of measurement of such maturation, it seemed appropriate to trust a system of perspectives whose considerations extend far in any direction of extremesas it compared broad-ranging types and levels of consciousness - yet searches for a balanced purpose in the whole of whatever continuum it examines. For this purpose, given my background of studies, I naturally I drew on the eastern standard of psycho-spiritual evolution. It considers the evolution of any sentient being - from the stage of initial incarnation into a physical form, all the way through (with practically infinite detail if necessary) to the stage at which the being moves beyond the physical. This system of assessment is often related to the condition or state of individual energy centers in the person, and the manner/degree in/to which these centers relate to each other, as well as to the Source(s) of all energy. It is generally accepted that there are seven of these energy centers (or "chakras") in or about the body - by those who formed the original and greater body of work on the subject, as well as by the most established teachers in the eastern religions. From this there are correlated seven basic levels or stages of growth in the process of of a being's learning to advance to the highest stages of evolution. Those criterion, when understood properly and in depth, can be seen to be indicative of every trait, quality, and connection - within a being and/or as related to the being's environment, including as regards relationships with God and/or other beings.
I believe it is largely from this basis of knowledge (to the degree that I am familiar with it) that my intuition helps extrapolate apparent probabilities in the social sphere - which from this view seems almost logical. As that applies here, the information age then correlates to the 3rd Chakra or Solar Plexus level of our evolution. And the Holographic Age correlates to the 4th Chakra, or Heart level. This assessment regards society's potentials for the next 100 years or so - perhaps the first quarter of what I believe to be the chronology of the heart chakra's era. EG: Integration of information and concept is only the beginning. But it will initiate far more important processes much deeper within, yet which interconnect us stronger with ever-expanding realms of consciousness.
Related personal note: I do not claim perfect knowledge of such systems of assessment, but a highly practiced working knowledge, even though (and possibly because) I do not "see" auras. The 'EvoTrends' essay is not much like any of the articles I read beforehand, but as it flowed out on paper, it just seemed to me to be too "logical" not to be valid. I say that even if I strongly suspect that my ego would love the idea of being "right". Granted, I do have some concerns - certainly some hopes - about how some of the event paths work out. In "The Mind Body Assessment and Understanding the Pattern Triad"" I provide an explaination for a system of assessments -- learned and integrated from/for my work with others as well as for my own life process.
END of Introduction.
EVOLUTION TRENDS:
The "INFORMATION AGE" and its Evolution
into the "Holographic Age"
INTRODUCTORY PERIOD:
Our trial and initiation prior to entering the next age is dealing with the issue of "Polarization." So much depends on how we manage this issue during the 1995 - 2005 period of time, its challenges are and will be critical on many levels. The implications may therefore be timely, a balance of warning with hope and direction. [Events occurring since I wrote this haven't convinced me otherwise. -cp, 11'06] Here we [a much greater percentage of us] come to know and feel what and how others know and feel, whether or not we agree with or have understanding for the bearers of that knowing and feeling.
Polarization occurs when we take a strongly attached position on one end or another of any issue or continuum of perspective (also see below section: "Rehabilitation"). That is just what has been happening in the last decade or so [prior to 1995], one of the 1st decades of Earth's society having moved into the information age [3rd of 7 levels of our evolution]. Eventually we will be entering into the next age [4th level], which I will refer to as the Holographic Age. In the Holographic Age there is the realization of synergy and "connectedness" -how everything reflects and effects everything else (and some relationships more integrally/dramatically than others) -- by all people on the planet.
Between now and then, the integration of data (a precursor and main component of the Holographic age), not just the current global-scale collection and organization of data and data systems, will bring about a tremendous explosion in capabilities of unprecedented scope, magnitude, and depth. The ability to offer/affect pre-designed physiological, emotional, mental, and psychic change on human beings, from conception on or even at the adult stage, for most any condition we know of today, for individuals or for whole communities, will be a relatively easy task to master-whether for healing or for manipulation. "Permanent" change does not result, I believe, unless the change is fully integrated from within. Still, the capacity for ill-intention to do damaging change-severe enough to take decades or centuries to be re- balanced-would be possible. This depends much on the degree of awareness, of different types and on different levels, of society as a whole. (I elaborate more on the very bright side of this time in the "Trends and Developments" section.)
These "powers" for creating change will then either be constructively harnessed with the necessarily simultaneous healing and re-education of society, or hidden by a centralized government and used on a martial-law-contained society, or they will be the instruments of a painful death of humanity on the planet. Even with the constructive harnessing there will be the hard lessons in the near future involving the attempts to manipulate society with greater sophistication than most people could even imagine. Already there has been decades of research and somewhat "technologically successful" development-by covert segments of various governments, at some expense to innocent people and societies-into many areas of technology that most people call science fiction. This includes media manipulation, genetic research on humans, inter-planetary travel, psychic manipulation, broad political blackmail by former intelligence officials, and electromagnetic radiation.
We are now facilitating opportunities whereby societies can actually benefit from this type and depth of research and the technologies that have been developing from them. It is up to aware and responsible individuals to insure this comes about with their integration into the other generally benign developments and not with their polarization into divisive or overt/covert opposites.

SOME TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT
Many areas of medicine and psychology are breaking through into "the next phases" of their functional development, as noted in the chart. There will be a much increased general interest and medical emphasis on life longevity and preventive maintenance-and more subtly, the increased body-mind awareness that they often result in and/or are integral with. The idea and application of self'-healing techniques will grow. The practice of medicine will range in modality between two camps, although both will be relatively progressive by today's general perspective: Medical-Technology, championed by Customized Genetic Manipulation and Electro-magnetic Radiation, and "Natural" Healing, championed by Naturopathic Psychologists and "Psychic Healers". Included in between these two camps will be the more conventional surgical and pharmaceutical approach (though not conventional by today's standards), the not too estranged herbalism and the much integrated modalities of psychology, psycho-physiology, and psycho-neuro-immunology (including prescribed bodywork). And, of course there will be the very popular use of therapeutic massage and the only slightly less common Self-Healing/Personal Growth studies.
The Hi-Tech medicine will include the use of crystal technologies (and/or the electromagnetic equivalent) and meridian-affecting therapies (originated by acupuncture). BioFeedback systems will incorporate mechanisms for subliminal auditory and visual influence. Many areas of medicine will engender the same degree of bio-ethics controversy as has the now fledgling genetic research, due to the sheer power of some of the technologies, as well as their multi-level impact on the patient, much of it increasingly based on consideration of patients' subtle energy and belief systems.
[[ I would like to note here what I feel is the need for extreme caution in relation to the use of electromagnetic radiation for the stimulus of dormant brain cells (intentionally or otherwise). Without accompanying life experience, the awakening of too much of the other 90+% of our brain, would not only affect (literally raw) intellectual potential, but gross electrical potential, either of which could prove disastrous to one's unprepared psycho-emotional self as well as to one's physical body. Those who have played and worked with this kind of "fire" for centuries-the yogis of India, adepts at mind-body awareness and mastery-have written many texts on the proper development of latent human potential, and strongly warn against rushing the process. They teach that nothing comes for free, especially psycho-emotional and spiritual growth.]]
With the continuing integration of data between the medical disciplines there will be any professionals in practice as well as in academia that begin to realize, chart, and compare notes on the multi-dimensional correlations (among the mental, emotional, physical, and bio-energetic/ magnetic) as related to various health conditions. Also of help will be the extensive psycho-emotional personality typology data and systems covertly developed by the intelligence services.
The study of (internal) belief systems as related to overall health will be inevitable in all the above goings on, and it will be developed as a major aspect of focus and application in virtually all areas of health care. Many of the medical approaches (e.g.: psycho-neuro-immunology, to start with) will be moving from a conventional perspective, as regards mind-body correlations, to one where attitudes and belief systems become real components for functional consideration. Subtle energy systems, already the focus of much medical, will also become highly considered in health assessment and therapy application by both hi-tech and low-tech medicine. This will lead to the validation of the intuitive function (e.g.: various forms of "psychic reading" and "energy-balancing" that more and more people have relied on) for detection and treatment of bio-magnetic energy congestion, blocks, mal-distribution, and related dis-functions on physical levels-and eventually for/on mental and emotional levels. The application of intuition may find an unprecedented role in terms both of breadth and of its popular integration with the more logical approaches. This is elaborated in the next main section on "The Role of Intuition and ... Grail".
As a result, various systems of "Integrated Diagnostics" will be developed, and they will eventually become more or less standardized. As with many systems discussed in this section, this methodology will evolve with the inter-permeating effects of the other developments, especially "Holographic Modeling" and the human body-mind's "Grail System" (both discussed below). Integration and teamwork will become the norm when it comes to the future's much more developed, multi-disciplinary "whole systems approach" to the care applied to the patient. The idea of holographic inter-reflectiveness will find a growing interest, and then applications, in medical, as well as environmental, disciplines (see "Holographic Modeling" below). Even nutritional therapies may include any combination of synthesized chemicals, vitamins, essential oils, homeopathics, neuro-transmitter and/or hormone precursors, along with integral nutrient production enhancers and synergy agents (such as herbals and flower essences) to enhance and direct the combinations to the most effective performance, and oriented toward "instructing the body-mind" to return to its highest state of efficiency to which it is capable.
Just what potential the human is capable of attaining, will actually become a question of critical perspective and even controversy. An issue that will be debated in both physiological and psychological, as well as sectarian circles, will be whether the original nature of man is "perfect or imperfect." In other words, does the body-mind really know what's best for health, and how much can one trust that it does, and when, how, and why? The aspects noted in the above two paragraphs will be a part of this in depth process. Health care will get very interesting very fast when the medical and religious experts of the day get around to some actual consensus on the "why" part, as if it wouldn't before then. The debate will engender a broad public awareness of internal belief systems and multi-dimensional cause-and-effect relationships and dynamics, it will stir even more the issues originally brought up by the genetic research. This will be due to a complex interplay of factors, especially the developments of Integrated Diagnostics and related approaches. With all these going's on, the sectarian fundamentalists will be hard put to call into question many resultant findings that (may seem to them to) threaten the existential basis for their beliefs. [..Why & How..]
Holographic Modeling will be a 3-dimensional model integrating holographic projection, virtual reality technology, (what is now) whole systems design, fuzzy logic, morphognetic fields, unified field and chaos theories, and multiple-probabilities planning. In the coming decades there will be the general awareness that when one eco-system is affected, not only are all other eco-systems affected to a certain degree, but also most other systems connecting organic life on many levels. Using computer generated graphics programs that show 3-dimensionally, the relational and changing dynamics between rated probabilities, complex planning can be facilitated simultaneously by a number of disciplines involved in solving the multiple- discipline challenges. This technology will be a key to the greatly accelerated link-up of the many technologies and modalities, resulting in a tremendous surge in the application of creativity.
This acceleration should be "at warp drive" relative to the acceleration in information processing brought about by the Information Age. The major difference will be the depth and breadth of effect in most every aspect of our thinking and feeling. The use of such systems for learning via communication of multiple level information produces potentially a virtual 4th dimensional reality. Our comprehension and understanding might be described as "multi-peripheral-intra-reflective referencing." Holographic modeling will facilitate the development of planetary evolution models for effective plan-management approaches-scenario probabilities for earth's sustained evolution. The models will be synergistically extrapolated (from potentially infinite numbers and combinations of variable factors influencing the earth's eco-sphere, societal development, and astronomical dynamics) via processes similar to the above.
From these probability scenarios will be gleaned how various possible changes would affect the earth's continued capacity to support life in what will be determined to be in alignment with its highest well-being. Such educated foresight will make feasible (what now would be beyond even consideration) such formidably complex projects as the managed restoration of formerly extinct plant species - and possibly even of animal species. This is assuming that the genetics research will make this bio-technically feasible, that the related ethics "insearch" has provided clarity as to man's readiness to consider such uses of power, and that we have well underway the correction of such basic global imbalances as those related to pollution and waste management, atmospheric (i.e.: ozone) stability, population equilibrium, environmental (land, plant, and animal) husbandry, etc. In the holographic age it may not be a strange thing for the average adult to have a very deep respect and functional appreciation for, if not an innate love- affair with, the natural elements of his environment, not unlike what we respect so much in innocent children. [By "restoration of species" I did not/do not mean the replacement any species *with anything less than the original genetic structure* - or at least an accurate reconstruction of same. That is, unless it is a) determined with great study and broad consideration, that some variation from the original is preferable, and b) there is a plan for restoring as much balance as possible as soon as there is an indication of the need for that, and c) the parameters of such "balance" and "need" is well defined before any such replacement takes place. --cp, 3'07]

THE ROLE OF INTUITION COMING HOME,
AND RECOVERING THE "HOLY GRAIL"
Will the physician and the medicine woman marry, and bring together the mind and heart of society ? Or has society been holding some unconscious association between the imagination of youth (maybe becoming a piercing intuition) and the rebellion to established authority ? Will there be found an art to science, logic to intuition, or teamwork to societal management ? If so, how will it happen ? What would that be like ?
In previous ages we may have had great use of the intuition, and more recently we've seen a much expanded growth and use of intellectual logic. Soon we enter the age of the balancing of the brain's hemispheres. I call the vehicle for this balancing the "Grail System" because of its relation to the striving for yin-yang or male-female balance that is inherent in the symbolism of the Holy Grail, or Chalice, in spiritual teachings and myths. The Holy Grail was/is the cauldron of the transforming fire, the source and meaning for the multi-level power struggle (re: paternal/maternal, God/Goddess, science/religion, church/state, etc.) initiated in the middle ages, and told through the story of Camelot and the search for the lost grail. In essence then, we have the grand opportunity to recover the Holy Grail, to regain our balance in male-female relationships, both internally and externally. [More recently the grail has been interpreted as the womb or female holder of the bloodline of Christ. But (I maintain that) in the perspective of 'balance in the universe' - both Male AND Female energies, via the charge of opposite polarities - form the vortex of the chalice as the vehicle of human-to-divine transformation - cp, 2'07]
In the development of the holographic age intuition will have a most grand and unprecedented opportunity. Something revolutionary is going on relative to left/right brain, or WHOLE BRAIN evolution. Right now there is a great deal of polarization between two groups - those who believe that the right brain's intuition doesn't work well in the environment of the left brain's analysis and logic (see below regarding analysis, distortion, mediation, and the "Grail System"), and those who believe that intuition is a dreamer's tool for self delusion relative to scientific medicine. There is a growing number of views in between, but not much sophistication on the matter of whole brain integration until very recently.
What we'll possibly manifest in the next 20 to 50 years will blow the doors down -- between the left and right hemispheres -- in the very halls of science. This will not happen due to the massive testimonial or empirical evidence, but mainly because of our developing bio-cognitive capabilities for systematizing the use of intuition, and there-by functionally integrating it with more logical systems of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and the planning there of. In 30 years the Whole Systems Approach of today will be as primitive as Western surgery procedures of the 1800's is now.
I am referring to the human brain's development of a type of data organizing or systematizing ability that will change how right-brain or non-linear perception is a) viewed, and then b) processed and stored, so to make it more broadly applicable in whole-brain process. There will be a resulting enhancement in mind-body, mind-emotion, and conscious-super- conscious mind "relationships," as well as in communication between the different processing centers in the brain. Creativity will literally take on another dimension.
Intuition has been described as the capacity to access and integrate logical data, thus indicating that the data is already somewhat pre-formed (and left-brain accessible) information. But that description alone does not sufficiently account for the experience of most people who consciously use their intuition fairly often. With sufficient development of the "Grail System," there will be an increase in the ability to access and juggle right brain perceived data -- consciously, but every so subtly. The right-brain's random-sorting and selection process -- for "where" the perception in directed and what it focuses on -- as well as the aspect of diffused focus, will actually be predictable to a useful degree, given certain criteria that we will be capable of managing in useful situations.
The criteria includes knowing the person(s) being worked with in terms of their own experience and current intuitive process and current factors affecting their psycho-emotional process -- in short, how and why they do what they do. These criterions will be allowed for in, and further developed by, the Holographic Modeling function of the Integrated Diagnostics (described in previous section). This includes -- to a useful degree -- the aspect of unpredictability, due to, well, to a soul's somewhat unpredictable plan for it's personality level of existence.
"The Grail System" serves as the universal energy balancing mechanism and perceptual data sorter for mind-body consciousness. While this system has always existed, it is one whose capacity multiplies with development. This comprises four systems on four levels, including the nervous, endocrine, circulatory (including lymphatic), and respiratory systems, and on the physical, emotional, mental, and bio-magnetic levels. Most emphasized are the upper endocrine glands and the cerebral spinal fluid channels. The ventricles serve (almost literally) a central role, with the system utilizing their fluidity, content, density, and location for containing the heart of the multi-level data-coordination process. More than for other areas of the nervous system, the bio-magnetic resonance upon this location, (due to the structure and function of surrounding tissues, including the shape and movements of the skull itself) contributes toward the sorting, "gelling," and infinite reformation and refinement in the BALANCING of energies.
This balancing serves every level of awareness conceivable while one's consciousness is still connected to one's body. Hence, the mediation aspect whose potential provides for a type of objective monitoring and analysis of ongoing intuitive spread-tracking -- but without the mind's usual "need" to categorize or limit data in time, space, or any fixed way ("Suspended Analytion" ?). The latter can easily distort the holographic perception of the intuition. Even so, the development of these functions will also greatly expand the processes that we now refer to as analysis. As far as I know, there is no actual recognition of all of these particular functions or as collectively related to any system.
Grail-enhanced minds working with Holographic Modeling will have the ability to effectively compute and juggle complex probabilities, including multi-level, multi-factor cause and effect relationships involving the most unpredictable systems - including human beings. The ability to evaluate -- without the attachment to perceiving someone as good or bad, more or less worthy of love -- is critical to the Grail System's continued development to this level of effectiveness. In fact, the reason that many "intuitives" will argue that analysis is destructive to the intuition, is because of the harm that has been experienced due to the misuse of "judgement." I refer to the tendency to poo-poo the imagination of young minds.
Such imagination would (otherwise) naturally facilitate openness to a relatively unhampered, and therefore potentially pure, insight -- into and through many "problems" that can plague a comparatively fixed adult perception. Why have we been so insecure in our reactions to such productive activity, or have we too often interpreted it as a kind of rebellion to authority? (Note that history has taught us that occult practice can be severely punishable.) And yet, true "whole brain" potential does not forsake the value of science or forego the capacities of the logical mind, but co-opts these for it's optimal performance. And the most effective analysis will utilize the intuition.
The Rebirth of the intuition is thus seen to happen due to three developments: 1) the breakdown in the above noted polarization regarding intuition; 2) the assessment and analysis of how intuition works, by a very broad range of (computer equipped and/or accessed) talented individuals in research and practice, who are working together in labs, offices, and/or via the internet. The Institute for Noetic Sciences is currently one of the organizations better known for this focus. A growing number of Internet discussion lists and web sites are already in the initial stages of this process. 3) The (much further) development of the "Grail System" in the human body-mind (see below).
Should this be interpreted to imply that the primary capabilities of human intuition would or could ever be analyzed to the point of it being replicated, synthesized, or even marginally computerized? My first reply: certainly not for many centuries of human maturation. And yet something said my answer was too simple. So I am led to believe that this issue will be the point of another great debate -- and probably near the end of the next [THIS] century, when it may appear to many (as per our enormous capacity for self-delusion) as technologically feasible. Fears will be raised by those who see the intuition as sacred (as related to their spiritual connection); enough so to want to protect it from unwarranted tampering by the psycho-physicists (!) and psycho-geneticists of the day.
The covert research into psychism and related technologies has failed in many accounts due to the nature of the intention for using the results of the research, and the nature of the kind of decision-making process that is used by/for those who work under those conditions. Much effort has been oriented towards the incorporation of individuals who are more "pure in intention" (and naive to the purposes of the research) to counter this glitch, but as the new physics has shown, observance of phenomena affects the phenomena observed, thus rendering it suspect if not useless. This is especially applicable in such subtle fields as related to the intuitive function. As a result, this field kind of has its own protection, yet apparently there is plenty of room for hard lessons for hard heads.
As we get our ethical/spiritual act together, these limitations will be surpassed. (I'm not betting, however, on the computer/bio-mechanical simulation of the intuition anytime, or century, soon.) As noted in earlier sections of this writing [referring to the "Evolution Trends" essay], we are only in the third level or chakra (of seven) -- the Information/Manipulation age -- in our evolution, and hopefully the latter part of it. And there will be the temptation to mis-use power (relative to "perfect" at-one-ment of all powers) until the whole of the planet evolves well past the Holographic [4th chakra] level -- all people, even on our very worst days, so to speak. That, according to most arcane/esoteric authorities, will not be for a few centuries or more -- further along in the Kali-yuga (26,000 year cycle). Even then, we will have temptation (and thereby much of our learning) for a kind of power abuse, but not as we currently experience it.
Will Intuition actually "come home" to the earth plane? Do we want it to? Will we ever learn to stop polarizing our perception by comparing the worth of people? Our brains (or their ventricles) follow our hearts, and our hearts are torn between whatever divisions there are between our own minds and (how we conceive) the mind of God. Eventually, much of the current mystery or mystique around the use of our intuition -- and related elitism -- will be traded in, transformed for a more useful regard of our whole brain, whole heart capacities and their purposes -- and for OUR purpose.

GETTING THERE FROM HERE
(AND THE POLITICAL MAZE IN BETWEEN)
As many who keep an ear to the trends of time will know, the next ten years is the one spoken of in so many of the great prophecies. There are more than myths attesting to the accelerating geologic shifts, climatic changes, pest population and adaptation, scale of destructiveness of insane criminals and terrorists, and large scale political and financial manipulation. We will have the unique opportunity to learn first-hand from the most hi-tech, research data- backed, psychological weaponry developed since Hitler's genius (and far- exceeding his effectiveness), now being implemented on the buying public (buying everything from milk to information to political imagination).
How soon the noted health care related events take place may depend somewhat on the 1995-2005 psycho-socio-political throes. These should be intense considering the increase in secular polarization and its relation to major political strategies in many parts of the world, including the U.S. "Revolution" being touted by major players in the U.S., and militias enjoying a heyday in popularity. All this bodes not too well for lovers of a secure democracy, unless they like it secured by martial law. Funding for medical care and other social assistance may be cut short by the attempts at re-prioritization going on at the time of this writing. This alone would not do the deed, considering the expanding momentum of brilliant minds' and teamwork across the disciplines of medicine. We have HIV and auto-immune diseases on the run, and a proper respect is being generated for the impending and grave threats to our immune systems.
But with politics now in danger of maintaining its plunge into "blackmail politics for keeps" on the national level-many other health care funding factors may be threatened decidedly. Consider the sudden rash of re-election pull-outs, party-switching, and exposé's. All have been in one political party or associated with the directions it represents, and occurred right after this party's main players participated in some of the most courageous exposé's of CIA officials. Much covert activity will likely continue in any case, assuming that the "power-elite" will pay for it, as allowed, to stay in power. We are being shown just how far in the dark the average citizen has been kept in regard to our (government's) association with extra-terrestrial life-forms, with inter-planetary travel, with (amazingly advanced) experimentation in Psyonics and telepathy and related weaponry, out of body travel, etc.
All these technologies can and will be put to positive use -- much of it for healing -- after we survive the coming test-packed decade. Even in the outposts of covert technological research, there have been minds wanting to benefit society with related discoveries. And even these covert groups are polarizing into opposing camps, some of which will help in the re-balancing of power and the healing of society.
1995 to 2005 will be the decade of the media moguls and the survival of democracy. Both media technology and corporate espionage have benefited from all the expertise that has been let loose from many intelligence agencies around the world since the cold-war liberation. The accelerated increase in consolidation of resources into the hands of the few will continue for the time being. Eventually the information age will facilitate the expose of such as the above for just what it is-even among those who are now too pressured by job politics or job-hunting to make ends meet, by religious blind-siding, and by sensationalising "news" to see through the fog.
The increase of information and of its access via the modem and modem-successors will be a valuable asset to democracy. This is provided that the "security" minded power players don't convince the people that they can stand guard over the computer codes that private citizens use for their personal data, as well as monopolise the flow of information all while supposedly staying above influencing the content. In this decade of the media moguls, will we manage our entertainment appetite as we host their programs in our homes, or will we meet the their appetite as the media would eat away at our conscience? Did I say, "the survival of democracy?" Well, yes, and it looks like it may take some work.
Still, I believe we are never given anymore than we can handle, individually or collectively-in the long view of evolution and spiritual growth. No matter how sophisticated a power may be, and how off-centered its priorities, that government is no threat to real power if it's people do not give to it the responsibilities they should maintain (in every sense of the word) for themselves. In the last ten years we've had a tremendous increase in interest in personal self-improvement, self-empowerment, and spiritual self-actualization. We've had some good lesson's from such brilliant instructors of self-healing as leader John Bradshaw in the realms of codependency and self-applied common sense. The ability to say "no"-when asked to give our power away in the name of love (but actually for the sake of maintaining addictions and related lifestyles) -- is critical to our time. We've exercised great creativity and compassion in mediation of conflict, and have learned from it even when peace seemed to come only from renewed conflict with nations with adult-children as leaders.

PSYCHO-SOCIAL TRANSITION AND REHABILITATION
The old reward/punishment STYLE OF MOTIVATION WILL EVOLVE along with the evolvement of our psychological needs for structure (e.g.: degree of authority required for motivating constructive behavior and personal growth). We will learn to appropriately apply specific amounts of STRUCTURE AS APPROPRIATE TO THE NEEDS for correction and/or rehabilitation of individuals and groups, and to changes in those needs through the completion of rehabilitation and re-integration with society. This will be greatly facilitated by "Whole Systems Diagnosis" and "Holographic Modeling," e.g.: for determining which group of "rehab students" with which to house an individual, for determining how to treat that group for how long, and what determines readiness to graduate to the "next level" of treatment, etc. The assessments for these determinations will be very quick, accurate, and cost-effective. Also applied in the diagnosis and treatment will be the much advancement in addictions research and other fields of medicine as noted in the chart. These systems will be applied both to those convicted of crimes as well as those considered mentally and/or emotionally dysfunctional. [A great deal of writing and charting has been devoted to projects related to the societal application of diagnostics systems for a regular curriculum of public education in Preventive Health Maintenance, as well as assessments related to all aspects of health (including personal growth enhancement), and those related to corrective systems based rehabilitation. If interested, please contact the author for more information.]
In order for societies to attain the prerequisite understanding and clarity necessary to accomplish the above, empathy and compassion needs to be learned through the experiences of the coming decade of challenges. Looming large on the curriculum is the [3rd, or Solar Plexus, Chakra level] issue of POLARIZATION. "Polarization" refers to the two opposing extremes of over-identification and enmeshment. The first extreme, over-identification, relating to hyper-egoism or narcissism, includes misplaced patriotism and competition for the sake of wrong-making and degradation, nationalism that unduly separates people, bigotry, elitism, and related extremes. The 2nd extreme, enmeshment, relating to the blurring of proper boundaries (such as with emotional or energetic enmeshment, sexual abuse, any improper "dual relationship"), includes that which occurs with secular/political or political/personal conflicts of interest. Appropriate structure (laws, regulations, professional guidelines, cultural mores, rules of conduct, etc) is the result of healthy personal and societal discrimination of values, and related priorities and goals.
I see the planet entering the holographic age in the next 50 to 75 years. Yet it could happen sooner, considering the degree of ACCELERATION IN EVOLUTION that can occur, once a certain amount of integration capacity is attained. Some "optimists" see a transformation accelerating the whole planet to holographic awareness in the next 20 years or so, in part due to "the exit" of those people (due to the unusual stresses of all the changes) who are attached to the old ways of being. I feel this degree of internal progress may happen so quickly only within a relative few people on the planet. And this is due simply to the need for so many to learn at the more basic levels first, including basic self-discipline and/or non-violence. I do not believe that God would simply eradicate a group of people simply because they haven't learned as much about life-as those who someone might call "the top 5 percent" of evolved society-however convenient it might be towards facilitating the birth of a "spiritual" world. If the purpose of being in a body on the planet is to achieve one's highest potential, and if such growth can only be achieved one step at a time, and if God is as compassionate as God's Love and Wisdom would allow for, then I feel that most of mankind will take until at least 2075 -- to even begin to feel secure enough-to empathise deeply with all others on the planet.
The capacity to resist the CHANGE THAT IS INEVITABLE on the road to growth-say, by denying one's own internal liabilities-slows the growth process. The process is necessary for THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE NEXT STEP, its digestion, its assimilation into the areas of function change, and then its integration into one's perception and action. As we graduate from one perception to another, there is a letting-go process, related to one's sense of humility and one's self-image, that is akin to the process of self-forgiveness. It requires reconciliation concerning one's past perceptions that have often resulted in the creation of painful limitations within/upon self and others. The faulty perceptions regard self's and other's worthiness to be whole, and have been fostered by centuries of societal and parental messages or conditioning.
Unraveling this wouldn't be so complex if not for the prevalence and degree of shame and resulting denial-of memories, beliefs, and related dynamics. As society becomes more practiced at RECONCILING THE PAST, benefits will multiply. One of the benefits will be the realization by society that an increase in emotional stability and psycho-emotional integration makes accessible great amounts of internal resources-leading to a heightened overall application of intelligence, hence, increased creativity, productivity, and growth.
Perhaps as soon as 2055, we will begin a period in which almost all functional people take for granted A NATURAL INCLINATION toward life-long pursuit of expanded awareness, virtuosity, and overall well-being. Such process would be on the level(s) appropriate to each individual, no matter the individual's occupation or "station" in life. The people considered less than societally-functional would be strongly but positively encouraged to work on more basic attitude levels until they were self-motivated to contribute to/for/from their highest potential. To accomplish this for all people, most societies will dramatically change their ideas about what facilitates effective behavior correction and rehabilitation.
Individual rehabilitation comes with "Social Rehabilitation". Hence, it is in this section that I choose to mention the "DISSOLUTION OF POVERTY." Poverty and related death will be broadly realized to be a result of an attitudinally directed style of resource management based on sets of values that discriminate-actively or passively-as to who is more and who is less worthy of having and using sufficient basic needs. As this happens, along with the decrease in the aberrations of polarization, people will naturally share the more than plentiful resources available. WORLD POPULATION will require a tremendous effort at effecting healing of these and related attitudes, considering that there is well known a direct relationship between those with insufficient basic needs and those with the most dense populations.
MISCELLANEOUS "LITTLE" VISIONS
I have been "seeing" and waiting for a number of years the technology for the relatively quick and large-scale transformation of landfill WASTE SITES into usable, if not highly productive land. In recent years I've felt more and more rewarded by the developments in micro-organism, bio-engineering, and nano-technology research.
Cars have always felt archaic to me! ("Why isn't this thing moving above the ground?") I've seen integrated TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS that used only the smallest portion of existing streets and highways and parking space, while allowing for a computer assisted hybrid system of intensely compact, magnetically-linked one, two, and multiple-passenger vehicle "trains" (linked for as long as they are going in the same direction) as well as individual vehicles (when going alone in a direction), all magnetically-levitated with their cruising height variable and automatically determined-based on the speed and destination-in the more collective-train systems. These "units" and "trains" would be collectively transported for long distances, across and between states, continents, or planets, wherever the systems were compatible. Imagine all the resulting liberated space going to trees, foliage, gardens, art, and people!
I see some wonderful PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT uses for the "neuro network" models in computers-incorporating fuzzy logic style dynamics in their "thinking." This computing will utilize interactive processes with program data-banks to do integrative problem solving processes - including auto-customizing personal growth management programs for one's home computer. This level of technology is almost here now and is one prerequisite for the holographic modeling mentioned above.

CONCLUSION
Awareness on and of the various levels and inter-relationships among the disciplines will develop due to the increased philanthropic intention as well as to the "market demands" and to the aberrations of the Information Age (abuse of information, media technologies, and related systems by and against powerful businesses in competition, as well as for military and political reasons).
So much depends on the 1995 - 2005 period of time, in terms of earth changes, authority rule factors in the U.S.-how dictatorial it may become, what happens with the militias and related issues, how the secular/non-secular issues play out). [2007 Note: that period has become NOW. But remember that spaceship that's going to save us ? <grin> Well, the pilots are none other than ourselves, so don't worry, we won't miss a minute of it -- God wouldn't deprive us of the realization that we are so capable! (So much for that Rapture swoop.)] This includes how soon the health and environmental related research is allowed (via government funding) to move along into the next potentials, and on into the holographic age.
I said in the introduction that the implications of this assessment are timely, even though they're not that original: We need to take charge of our creations, become sure of what we REALLY want, and be careful (read "choiceful") in what we pray for. Because with a little faith, we may very well get it. In short, we can choose it or loose it in the next few years. I've called it a decade, but I sense it may take another decade, more or less, to heal from it enough to look back on it with a sigh of relief. But if we can pull through the times with our most honorable values intact, I believe that we will eventually enjoy the greatest healing capacity we've ever experienced. And it will be by systems of care that are more sophisticated and complete, and yet more naturally synergistic, than we ever dreamed of.
I am curious as to how others (who are interested in Alternative Medicine, Psychology, and Spiritual Evolution, etc.) might look at the probable futures, what they might think of this scenario(s), and what they might add or substitute themselves.
The Evotrends essay was first posted November 22, 1995, on a listserve, "Spiritual Implications for Medicine and Psychology" (Spiramed@sjuvm.stjohns.Edu), and a few days later on "The Intuition Network" of The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS, listserv@intuition.org) [as documented]. It has been edited for format since then, primarily before it's first web posting (by myself) in 2000, but little else without acknowledging the edit by date and initial.

Other pages at this site are born out of similar hopes, dreams, and visions. When I use the term "evolution" at this website, I am referring to the psycho-social evolution of humankind, not the physical as we generally consider it. And usually from the perspective or paradigm that looks at the recent psycho-social trends - in comparison to the overall course of mankind. |

 "ART & SCIENCE of Body, Mind, & Spirit Integration" (Body-Mind-Chalice Integration Art Index Page) - Artwork on the "Chalice" or Grail theme, with symbolic and philosophical interpretation.Essentially, the chalice, far more than just a cup in this interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the "Body-Mind". Which is also a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally. The "Pragmatic Balancing" section relates the Holy Grail to the (psycho-social) evolution of Man, the world's key religions, the Gnostics, and to *The Da Vinche Code* (although I leave code-related parts to "the experts"). |
| When incorporating "sacred geometry" (relevent to the DNA of all Life) into the symbology, most interesting chalice artforms naturally appear -- shown here with both hand-made and computer-generated works. The "Chalice vision thing" for me is born out of a 3+ dimensional form that I "saw" in 1985... a relationship between the Holy Grail, it's (more or less simple) legendary meanings, the archetypic symbols and meanings of the geometric forms... "Sacred Geometry," alchemy and energy dynamics, grail legend and related symbology, various body-mind-spirit correlations, other archetypes and related psychology... for me, all this related both the body and the grail elements to the mind's interface... in a way that makes sense of many otherwise-would-be paradoxes and mysteries.

| Mind-Body Memory Research & the Future of Preventative Medicine ?
Another of my main vision/ dream/ goals is a society where/in children are taught how (and allowed their natural senses) to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventative health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. That would then be part of our upbringing and public schooling. Sample benefit: Over time we would learn to channel our initial stress response into channels more creative than that of fight or flight. And actually, much of this "adrenal response" has been shown to be a learned response, and not necessarily innate. Hence, we would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a natural inclination - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness.) |
| This vision was born ('94-'95) out of what I saw to be one of the most wonderful potential results of The Fascia-Memory Project. Which is about prospective research into the relationships of connective tissue (fascia), 'body-Memory' & related dynamics, as well as research into new connective tissue scanning devices. Based on questions concerning the physiological relationships to the intangibles of emotional memory storage. For perspective on this far-reaching multi-faceted proposal, see Fascia-Memory Project Overview Chart. The range of application extends from the medical industry to personal home use, to public education, to social and correctional rehabilitation. Theory © June'96. |
Evolution Trends: The 'Information Age' And Its Evolution Into The 'Holographic Age'
Challenges and Realistic Goals For Survival and Creating A Desirable Future, © Nov'95

Not long after the above ("Fascia Memory Project") futuristic vision came about, this writing was initiated. We are currently in the "Information Age" of global-scale *collection and organzation* of data and data systems. The "Holographic Age" will be marked by "...the integration of data (a precursor and main component of the Holographic age) ...will bring about a tremendous explosion in capabilities of unprecedented scope, magnitude, and depth... The ability to offer/affect pre-designed physiological, emotional, mental, and psychic change on human beings..." Intelligence manages information, but wisdom manages Intelligence. This "adventurous" draft looks into the future at many key areas of evolvement of Human Society. It includes: sections on 'Health & Environment,' on 'Psycho-Social Transition And Rehabilitation' (in corrections, education, and health), "The Role Of Intuition Coming Home," as well as some 'Political Considerations.' |
ie: "...Our trial and initiation prior to entering the next age is dealing with the issue of 'Polarization.' So much depends on how we manage this issue during the 1995 - 2005 period of time... critical on many levels. The implications may therefore be timely, a balance of warning with hope and direction... 'Polarization' refers to the two opposing extremes of over-identification and enmeshment. The first extreme, over-identification, relating to hyper-egoism or narcissism, includes misplaced patriotism and competition for the sake of wrong-making and degradation, nationalism that unduly separates people, bigotry, elitism, and related extremes. The 2nd extreme, enmeshment, relating to the blurring of proper boundaries (such as with emotional or energetic enmeshment, sexual abuse, any improper 'dual relationship'), includes that which occurs with secular/political or political/personal conflicts of interest. Appropriate structure (laws, regulations, professional guidelines, cultural mores, rules of conduct, etc) is the result of healthy personal and societal discrimination of values, and related priorities and goals... ...will develop out of necessity - much due to the aberations of the info age (psychological manipulation and necessary defense systems practiced by/for/against businesses in competition as well as for military reasons... personal data as common knowledge <-> 'Age of Exposure' ...the decade of the media moguls and the survival of democracy..."
But if we get through all that, one of the many noted benefits include "... We will have the unique opportunity to learn first-hand from the most hi-tech, research data-backed, psychological ...Awareness on/of the various levels & interrelationships between these areas... The application of intuition may find an unprecedented role in terms both of breadth and of its popular integration with the more logical approaches ...As a result, various systems of 'Integrated Diagnostics' will be developed..."
[Quotes are from original Aug'95 paper and email published version, 11'95 on listserv@intuition.org (Institute of Noetic Sciences) and Spiramed@sjuvm.stjohns.Edu]. Note: That 10 year 'prep' period has become NOW - wherein so much is being determined about how and how soon we begin this next age - or if we do before the planet overhauls itself. But remember that spaceship that's going to save us ? <grin> Well, the pilots are none other than ourselves, so don't worry, we won't miss a minute of it -- God wouldn't deprive us of the realization that we are so capable! (So much for that Rapture swoop.)

About the evolvement of mankind...
* What would it require for all people to have conscious empathic capacity and still discern the highest priorities for their own daily tasks?
* E.G.: What might be some of the key steps along the route from here to then?
* And what if that were in contribution to a "Divine Plan" that included a requirement for progress towards self-realization as well as group cohesion?
* Is it true that honoring Individual integrity and acknowledging the inter-connectedness of humanity are mutually dependent activities? |
THE WORK ETHIC and the Body Mind:
Work is what happens when one would rather be doing something else.
No matter what you're doing, at that point it becomes work, right?
(eg: When I enjoy "the work" so much as I often do, it just feels strange to call it work)
But where would that put "the work ethic" ?
I mean, which "should" be more rewarded - working more with less motivation,
or working less with more motivation ? Which would/should be more rewarding ?
And ... if every work that happened was essential
to the overall purpose of all and it was realized as such,
and If there was no work that was associated
with the making of someone less than someone else (less worthy of love and respect) ,
how much more enjoyable then would every kind of work be?
And would we, as individuals, then find it easier to know
just exactly what work it was that we enjoyed the most?
Is there any relationship between such questions and stress or muscle health?
Is this a
a) trick question, b) rhetorical question, or c) essay question ? <grin>
How are we ENJOYING
the most appropriate Questions, Answers, and Visions
that are leading us to the most needed REALIZATIONS
and setting the most realistic goals (in God's Reality)
from this moment forward, step by step
as we ARE attaining our highest POTENTIAL(S) ?
What is the most appropriate QUESTION for right now ?
THANK YOU Body-Mind-Spirit-Higher-Power
for manefesting ANSWERS to appropriate Questions in
DIVINE Order, DIVINE Love, and DIVINE Timing!
