2011 is the year of illumination and as I look back at all that has happened this year It looks to me as though this has indeed brought a lot of illumination to the planet. Would there have been so many revolutions had not so many people 'seen the light'.
The second possibility is that the changes taking place now are making way for a time of peace on earth. I am told by mothers that birth is accompanied by pain. The changes taking place on the planet both among the people and on the planet itself are the birthpangs of a new world. This new world is the prophesied New Jerusalem, the New Earth, the earth of peace, harmony and creativity.
I am listing the evolutionary events that have happened in just the first half of 2011. The list is quite amazing when you see it all in one place:
