“It depends on a couple factors. First, how plausible our survival is. If there is a clear way out – something tangible that we can do to avoid our extinction – we will band together. Second, if there is a common enemy, it will unify us enough to at least temporarily put our differences aside. Third, if something triggers enough people on a deep enough level, it can reach a tipping point that at least allows enough people to join together that they can overtake the antagonizing force (whether that be people themselves, an environmental catastrophe, or something else).

Regardless, I believe that reaching a point of near extinction is crucial in the awakening of our species – and thus, the planet and the universe. Take this metaphor – as the sun moves through the sky, you must move as you cannot stay in the shade all day. Right now, the Earth is facing a time where the light of truth has moved, and thus, is ending the shady darkness of delusion. It is forcing us to face it directly, in a way not before done. It is absolutely necessary to near extinction in order to unlock a deep, intuitive, passionate faith in our species and its existence. That awareness is necessary in order to take appropriate actions towards not going extinct. We are nearing a period of awakening through near extinction. It is an all out war of dark and light within our own beings. Yet, what is so far-out about it is that the war itself IS the awakening. The two polarities are necessary – they are in intercourse, union, perfect harmony. They, together, are the ground and sky, making up this world. Whether humans emerge on the other shore is less important – there is a greater force of awakening that propels the entire game we are playing.

So in conclusion, we CAN band together to avoid extinction. We may, we may not. The important recognition is that awakening and catastrophe are two sides of the same coin, and depend on one another. Regardless, consciousness will be evolving.”
