I just finished reading an article by Douglas Rushkof called Survival of the Richest.
It tells the story of being invited by some of the very wealthy in a talk, he assumed, about the future of technology. He was paid a princely sum to do so. There were hedge fund CEO's and heads of brokerage firms present and it became obvious that the future they wanted to talk about was the one that would protect them from what they called, "The Event."
This event was the final break down of society, nuclear war, environmental cataclysms, terrorism etc., that left the Earth uninhabitable. They were starting to build their bunkers and hire their security forces, effectively leaving all of us behind.
They admired the Elon Musk's of the world who were looking for other planets to occupy.
Trouble is, there is nowhere they can hide. No bunker that they build, no (hedge) funds that they invest, will stop them from facing the greatest hazards and demons they have ever known: themselves.
The time we are in is not about the final "event" that will end everything. It is about the beginning of something quite new and revelatory, literally the beginning of a new Age. Some, many, are already experiencing the bounty and the beauty of this new age as the worlds separate.
Our hedge funds friends cannot escape their destiny. Sure, they may find a new planet to reside in, but in the final analysis the only mirror they will be facing will be the one that shows them their soul. Sooner rather than later they will surrender to their own enlightenment. Bunker or no bunker.
