Why Look Forward to 2012

While some people are predicting doom and gloom for the new year, I rather look to the rarer traits, the good ones.  2011 is ending and will soon be a distant memory.  I hear sighs of relief from some.  What in the world could we look forward to in the upcoming year?

In my post "2011 and other years....." I predicted 'moderate' growth in the economy in the US.  Well I may have been over optimistic using that word.  I seemed to have been barely any growth.  2011 prove to be a year of contraries.  There was growth for some sectors and there was some downturns for others.  This resulted in barely any growth at all.  There was activity.  And it was the activity in the markets I sensed.  Activity will grow in this coming year.  Hopefully the activity will translate in some significant growth in the markets.  The potential is there.  New companies have emerged.  Older corporations have emerged from bankruptcy reorganizations.  So I'm looking forward to increased activity in the financial sector.

Fledgling democracies in North Africa and other parts have an uphill climb in 2012.  Factions will conflict.  Societies mettle will be tested.  I hope these countries will stand up to the challenge.  The challenge is to put down all weapons and pick up the pen and computers and start the democratic process.  They should stay in the democratic frey for years to come.  Strong emotions are at work here.  Unifying the different factions under issues will be the key to success.  I wish them good luck.

Geo-economics seem to have their work cut out for them.  Individual countries in Europe need to continue to stabilize themselves.  Africa has great potential to create new business in 2012.  Some African countries have been profitable in the last year.  Peace and the fight against violence should help increase the economy.  Russia seems murky.  They need to deal with their problems before they can have an increased influence on the world, economically speaking.  China on the other hand has said it will use its money to invest and create a positive force in the world.  I don't doubt the Chinese's sincerity.  Business people in China really want to succeed in a peaceful world.

On the geo-political side of things, I've been disturbed by reports of activity between China and the West.  I fear war mongering is in the air.  It would be a hard time to have another large war like World War II.  China is setup now with lots of money.  This can only mean that their military will be trying to get to that money and make new things, have a bigger army, and have a warlike attitude to the rest of the world.  This is of a great concern.  I hope we do not have a war.  I would argue that a war with China would hinder the economic advances China has made and will also jeopardize the economic future of the world.  Russia is still murky on the geo-politics.  They now have internal protesting to the election.  I predict hard times for Russia, and a hard struggle.  North Korea is something people are concerned with.  I have to say I don't see much concern.  I do see some reform from the new leader.  I also see pretty much that North Korea will go in the same direction as it has before, isolation.  The North Korean people are suffering, and I don't see a change in that.  Iran is also a concern.  I don't see anything new for them in 2012 though.  International dialogues with Iran will continue as they have been.  I think Iran will stall for time.

In space, India has been progressing by launching its own satellites increasingly.  NASA is in an internal battle over two factions, the cost-plus model and the new commercial services model to launch from Earth.  Congress also has a hard time to wrap their brains around the new model.  I do see the the commercial companies will make new strides in 2012 even with government stalls.  Other space programs will continue but with revenue fights.  Money seems to be sparse for space these days.

I will say that in 2012, the world will....continue as it always has.  I don't see the end of the world in 2012.  I choose to look at it as a renewed era of potential and advances.  We just came out of an era of stalls, and declines.  Rebuilding the world is the name of the game now.

Well, that's it.  I do look forward to the positive things in 2012.  Be careful out there, its still a jungle.  Have a good year.

2011 and other years.....

Being an Empath, I should include a post about what I've recently sensed.  Weeks ago at the just before New Year's 2011, I put my feelers out to see what the year would be like.  2010 was a very rocky and worrisome year.  Since then I got an impression an aspect of what the coming years will be like, then I will mention what how the 'future' behaves.

Starting with my first impression of 2011.  I felt a year of slow growth.  Jobs will come, and we have started to see that already.  The economy will grow.  But it will be moderate growth.  It will also be a year with a *sigh*.  What do I mean by that?  I mean we will get to the point of some rest after being through a storm.  We may not see that yet, with all the democratic revolutions going on and such around the world.  Before the end of the year or maybe in the summer we'll be sighing.

While 2011 will see moderate economic and social growth, more growth will be felt in the following years 2012, 2013, and 2014.  That growth will be following something of an exponential curve.  I describe it as a frenzy.  Mind you too fast of a growth is just as harmful as too slow of a growth or even as a declining growth.  There will be casualties in the way.

You may ask how does the future behave?  I mean, reading the future would seem to require a predestination paradigm.  I don't think so.  I see that the many worlds theory originally proposed by Hugh Everett has relevance to reality.  In such a case there is scale of the future that can be tapped into to a limited point in time.  The more general the scale of the predication the further out in time you can go.  Sounds weird doesn't it?  How can there be many copies of you all living under slightly different conditions?  Well, you have to study the theory and quantum mechanics.  Now I also see that this theory gives rise to the possibility of yourself ending up in a particular world with a particular result, thus implementing an intended path by the means of 'manifestation', or by simple action, or decision making, or even by a self fulfilled prophesy, or just by planning.  Therefore to say that the future is not written, as the old saying goes, is quite right.  Only the past can be written.
