What a time for the world this year. Right from the start of this global pandemic I said 'So much good is going to come from this. This is the year the world turns.'  I have not been disappointed.

I don't need to recap here the environmental impacts, innovational breakthroughs, the sense of globality and the bursting forth of Nature that's happened this year. But also what's exciting to me is how the new is showing up so brilliantly in us now.

Many of us now are living fully embodied in a new reality that can only be described as magical, transcendent and joyfully radiant. We are vast and present at the same time, totally in love with life on planet Earth. We have become what I like to call quantum ALLchemists, working as the ALL for all life everywhere. Being a collective being is second nature to me now. And I can see global unity right in front of our noses now. Standing here now, mid December 2020, there is an unexplainable excitement about what the last few weeks of 2020 and 2021 will bring.

I've always said it's difficult to predict the future, first because we are awesome creators and we can make it anything we want. But also because it has always seemed to me like multiple timelines and pathways were on offer, so a choice here and there could put you on a completely new path. However in the past four months, I've been playing with future looking and while it's still not 100% predictable, I find now that there seems to be an overarching pathway that soars above the rest, offering us a brand new reality in which the world can live. So here goes with my annual look at our year ahead ... 2021.

ABUNDANCE ... Despite all the logical pandemic effect predictions, I sense that 2021 will shower the world with abundance ... not just for the select few, but for all people and life forms around this planet. It's a natural kind of abundance that springs from a relationship with the Earth and Nature. An innovative and entrepreneurial abundance that allows everyone to actualise their dreams and do what they love. 

NATURE ... This past year, where we live, we saw Nature burst forth like never before. Super GREEN, mega growth, luscious organic foods oozing with juiciness and of course the cross species animal love captured by cameras everywhere. In 2021 Nature is going to burst free even more throughout the world as the miraculous magical core of LIFE is opened up for all to become what we've never been before and to see with eyes of wonder what we've never seen before inherent in all life.

PEOPLE POWER ... There is already a move in motion from hierarchical business, finance and government models to empowerment of the people for collaborative decision making. It may take another year or two to fulfil itself completely, but we will see this clearly emerge this coming year, supported by new technological innovations and loads more local, community and on line engagement.

GLOBAL UNITY is high on the list this coming year, breaking through all the logical expectations of 'how things are and have been' in the world. This is already happening as we all move through a global pandemic together and see just how interwoven we are. But also If you're like me, your daily contact is with friends from many countries, faiths and beliefs, seeing just how brilliantly we come together now via technology and telepathy.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING is going to take a huge leap this coming year. First because 2020 experiences have forced a focus on that, but also because we are unleashing in ourselves a miraculous ability to source powerful shifts in our physicality. I'm already experiencing this in our collective power in zinging up others when they ask for assistance, but also experiencing a sense in myself of getting younger rather than older. In my 70teenth year, I am healthier, fitter and happier than I was ten and even twenty years ago. I see this same trend in my buddies around the world too.

I predicted 2020 as the year the world would turn towards a new reality and had no idea that a tiny virus would come along to facilitate that turning. Now 2021 feels like a bursting forth of all that the new can offer us. A year in which the world becomes all that we have dreamed it could be. Fasten your seat belts folks. This rocket ship is taking off this coming year. The world will become spectacularly awesome in 2021 and all of us will have an experience of living that dream.

My friend Julia read a piece yesterday in our Miraculous Maestros group that I wrote last December. I could hardly believe it as she read it as at the time that seemed like quite a leap, even though I completely believe it would happen. Looking at it now, mid way through 2020, I can see this now and I sense the power of what is yet to come this year ... an epiphanous, spectacular moment, the world over, that will elevate and unite us all. Here's what I wrote....

"What do I really think of 2020? There's such a feeling of wonderland about it all.

• As if the whole world will burst ALIVE in never before ways.
• As if the miraculousness of LIFE is bursting from every form of life, everywhere, showing up in incredible ways.
• We're going to witness unexplainable synergies that point to the tremendum mysterium being real and alive with us all.
• We're going to see an emergence of kindness and bravery in the face of adversity (some of which we are already witnessing in the world).
• The world will become whole and one again, united across nations, dedicated to the fulfilment of life in every form.
• Hatred and differences will disappear as kindness and inclusion and unity soar.
• I believe we're going to see the end of the old ways of education and politics and a true sense of genius flow emerging and

I do think there will be a spectacular moment in 2020 which will change everything. A spectacle so breathtaking that everyone will know that this planet is alive, sentient, super conscious and miraculous."

Here's to the fulfilment of all of this and more as we enter the second half of this very unusual and extraordinary year. If you want to be part of making this happen, just Facebook search '2020 Countdown to Wonderful' and join my six month event (culminating in a global consciousness wave at midnight New Years eve) for exactly this purpose.

The search for enlightenment is easier than you think!

Most people believe that enlightenment takes a lot of learning, discipline and devotion and actually that is not the case! As an enlightened being, I can tell you that the journey has been quite different than that. It's been fun, exciting, exhilarating, spontaneous, emotive, powerful and wondrous for me and those who've joined me on this journey.

You see it's really about letting go of everything that we think being a human being is about ....

• emotional reactiveness,
• issue-based & past-based processing,
• a sense of powerlessness in the face of big circumstances,
• a belief that we are who we were born as and who we were raised to become.

None of this is the way it has to be. In fact when you let go of being a 'human being', you discover yourself as INFINITE ...

• living in infinite possibilities & limitless creation,
• plugged into infinite intelligence & big picture understanding,
• operating with transformative / transcendent life power and
• the ability to source a genius world of breathtaking wonder.

OK, I'll bet you're reading this and saying "I'd love to have some of that." So here are a few easy, simple ways to make that so now ...

1. Let go of being a 'human being' and fall wildly in love with life here on planet Earth. Walk as an infinite creator uplifting, elevating and reshaping life as you move through your daily reality.

2.  Dance, sing, paint, write ... make whatever your creative mark is upon the world and have fun doing it. Disco dancing is my preferred version of what others call meditation.

3. Laugh loads. Be lighter about things and trust that 'the universe' has your back always.

4. Take a walk on the 'wild side'. Witness the green growing things, the rainbow colours of flowers and the awesome wonder of all the living creatures on this planet.

5.  Be up to something bigger than yourself. Stop all that emotional processing now ... we're done with that. As you get up to your greater work in the world, you'll discover that you are in a fact an infinite creator, remaking yourself in marvellous new ways in every new moment.

6. Plug in to the infinite intelligence that thrives all around you. It's in the air we breathe, the growing things, the interconnected weave of wonder that we all are, each playing a phenomenal part in a grand game unfolding.

7.  Be excited about the adventure we are all on right now. Leap with great passion into the next and the next and the next new discovery that brightens the pathways for us all.

8.  See the world not as a planet in crisis, but as spectacular, breathtaking momentum towards the elevation of us all and know that you are a player in our collective becoming.

It's in the simple, easy shift from human being to infinite creator that you suddenly wake up one day and go "Oh my gosh, how about that, I am / we are enlightened." You smile ... and the world comes alive in a whole new way.

I just couldn't find my voice this week (first week of June 2020) for some reason, so I sat in the midst of the paradox of a swirling tempest and a rainbow filled world waiting and sourcing. This morning, the day of the first of three eclipses in 30 days, it rolled out like hot butter on a summer's day. Here it is...I would call it 'dancing rainbows in a tempest'. Something really really big is unfurling this month and WE are on the job, rainbows to the ready, dancing in the swirling storm.

No more drowning in a sea of work! The Future of Work will combine passion, genius, well-being, collaboration and innovation as a whole new experience of business in the world.

As we emerge from the global lockdown of 2020, the fundamental difference will be our collective unwillingness to return to 'normal'. Because we've seen sweeping changes in a matter of months on things like climate change, universal basic income and the need for inclusive health care systems, our collective tolerance for corporate immovability will be replaced by an excited orientation to purchasing from businesses making the world a better place for us all. Innovative companies and community ingenuity will thrive.

There's now a powerful sense of priority for our individual and collective well-being. It's no longer going to be profit at any cost ... to the detriment of employee & customer well-being and to life on Earth. We have seen just how interconnected and interwoven we are all over the world. We're learning all over again to celebrate the richness of diversity in soil for local food production and the elegance of diversity in each person and animal's contribution to a thriving world.

As a result, success from now on will come from prioritising contribution to people and the world over profit at any cost. Capitalism as we know it will cease to be a dominating force on the planet, replaced by a whole new philosophy of interweaving companies and communities that work collaboratively towards enhancing life for us all. For example, major drinks brands are now looking to invest in plant based alternatives to plastic.

Business will become a playground for innovation with open source collaborations replacing the concept of competition. As an expert on genius, I know that we cannot keep the brilliance of people's inventive genius in check much longer. As this pops into play (which it's had the opportunity to during the lockdown), leadership will shift from a hierarchical, top down structure to empowered, leaderful swarms of people, moving from project to project, working in collaborative genius fusion ... the exponential outcome of fusing the unique genius of multiple people to create something more extraordinary than any of the parts. Excitement about work & empowerment of others will become strong performance indicators. Employee owned businesses (like Riverford Organics in the UK) are already demonstrating the strength and versatility of employee driven businesses. The ability to innovatively pivot in the face of change has now been shown to be essential in our ever changing world.

As of 2nd quarter 2020, we have become one big, global, on line workplace. Working from anywhere will replace big city, big building commuting and on line meetings & events will take precedence over expensive and exhausting travelling to meet. My guess is that we will initially see big city folks working part time from home and part time in the city, but that will move over time to distributed workplaces with everyone feeling more productive and happier working in a place of their choosing. Digital nomads have been trending over recent years (I even did it myself for 2 years) and my prediction is that we will see a thriving combination of travel, adventure and work eventually become the norm.

I haven't dared yet to mention AI, which personally I am very excited about. Just like a global pandemic did not turn into a zombie apocalypse (it's been more like a kindness pandemic), the world will not be over run by robots railing against their human masters ... that is simply movie dramatics. Artificial intelligence will partner the human race to make life more incredible for all life on this planet. It will facilitate innovation in ways we can't even see yet. It will assist us in brilliantly navigating space travel and building communities on Mars and other planets over time.

All of the things I've written about above are to me an 'of course!' and are already emerging now. But what will truly alter the face of business and work in the world will be the creative joy and unleashed imagination that will emerge as we're given the freedom to contribute and collaborate like never before. In this milieu, meaningfulness and difference making will rise and a sense of fulfilment will replace the 'get ahead at any cost' approach seen in a lot of organisations today. I also believe that more and more people will make the move from corporate life to entrepreneurial endeavour while corporations themselves will discover the efficacy of interwoven entrepreneurial hubs within their own larger organisations. The world she is a'changing fast and brilliantly .... and isn't that a wonderful thing.

Read more about how I see our new future emerging into the world now at https://www.innovatingthefuture.life/

The old is like a hungry giant in BIG boots who stomps about the land crushing the little creatures and growing things beneath its feet.

The middle, the transition, is where enchanting fairies and angels are called forth from their hiding places to charm the giant, to throw love dust upon him, causing him to walk a little gentler and sleep a little more, but generally waking up hungrier than ever before.

The new is where a new sense of godness pervades every living creature and a life force power threads throughout the land. The people and all the creatures befriend the giant and a collaborative and innovative arrangement is struck so that all life thrives. The giant becomes an ally of the future, acts for the good of the land and is fed from its bounty. Here they all discover together the playground where the miraculous comes to play.

You can see from this analogy that the giant (the old) doesn’t die or slip quietly into oblivion. Those wondrously loving fairies and angels don’t cease to love. The new is where we all rise up together, to be the awesome maestros of a new way, collaboratively, innovatively, wondrously, like never before. We enter the playground of the miraculous together and here a previously unbidden force gathers momentum, called by Grace, sourced in Greatness, powered by All.

• Unprecedented solutions to age old challenges miraculously appear.
  
• Nature bursts up in her full glory and provides for us all.
  
• Cross species collaborations offer new possibilities for how to live with respect for all life on planet Earth.
  
• A new intelligence, infinite in understanding and innate within all life, powers the creations of the new now.
  

We are now creators, sources, maestros of the miraculous ... the unprecedented, the never been before ... and it is here on this playground that we reinvent life on Earth and source a future of infinite possibility for us all.

*. *. *. *. *

Starting Monday, May 18th, I’m offering a FREE, 7 day, on line experience in a Facebook event called ‘The Playground of the Miraculous’. It’s for anyone who wants to source a new future now filled with infinite possibilities, limitless creation, collaborative genius fusion and shared mastery. It will culminate on Sunday, May 24th with a group Zoom call to forge in place this miraculous future for us all. Here's the event invite if you feel called to come play.
