Dystopia is waiting on the doorstep!
Special Note: I normally limit my articles to the strictly spiritual.
However I feel the impetus to respond to the deeply-divisive movement facing society.
So I will do so – just this once. Please excuse this divergence.
Please also take the time to read the entire piece: your thoughts will be respected.
I shall revert to Spiritual material through and by Mordechai from next week;
This Week……….Dystopia is waiting on the doorstep.
The first Industrial revolution started about 250 years ago and lasted about 80 years.
During that time the core of society moved from farming other people’s land to working long hours in crude steam-powered factories, mainly creating textiles.
It was exhausting work and paid very little with over half of wages spent on food alone.
Poverty and homelessness was everywhere.
Then, just as things started to improve, the second Industrial revolution began.
It was centred around mass production with steel and factories powered by electricity.
Child labour, continued poverty, poor sanitation and several wars kept many everydayworkers in a terrible condition.
Over the last hundred years things have slowly improved for the ordinary person.
Each revolution has eventually improved the living conditions of the ordinary person.
But it’s been a slow climb to get there.
And now we are all about to face another challenge – the AI Revolution.
The effects of this change will – as before – confront the ordinary family suddenly.
Loss of job. Little income. Sense of helplessness.
The few will become immensely rich – the rest will become significantly poorer.
This year in the US just 4,000 people own 50% of the country’s wealth.
The other 350,000,000 people share the rest.
And the ratio is getting worse every month: the rich are getting richer, the poor are struggling more and more….
The Head of Anthropic, the mega US AI Research and Development company is quoted as saying “AI could be an existential threat to humanity”.
That’s from one of the men who’s developing it!!
Scientists have announced that they have even built a DNA-powered computer that performs calculations using billions of molecules in a tiny drop of water.
The system taps into the laws of physics to create what the scientists describe as a computing system that’s more efficient than the conventional computers that are widely used today.
This will radically reduce the need for architects, accountants, lawyers, doctors, teachers, writers, artists and specialists of almost every ilk.
Put that alongside the development of driverless heavy duty trucks, buses, freight and passenger trains (even about to start in Sydney!), unmanned delivery road services, autonomous aircraft travel, robotic warehouse and factory floors and even mining sites, electronic non-human police and armed defence service personnel (already in service in Asia)……and you have a society that radically reduces the need for truckies, taxi drivers, deliverymen, posties, warehouse staff, retail staff, phone service staff, clerical staff and not nearly as many human police and real people in any of the armed forces (courtesy of the rapidly improving drone and robotic technologies which have already developed so fast and so far as to have secretly placed military weaponry on standby in orbit around the Earth).
I am not trying to scare you or even upset you.
I’m simply sharing what you already know, courtesy of the media.
Dystopia is coming again – and very, very soon.
Unemployment, poverty, homelessness, family breakdowns, drug use, physical violence, environmental ruin and rampant fear and distress are already on the rise.
And it is certain to get a great deal worse before it gets better!
So why do I remind you of the unfortunate obvious?
It’s because this scenario can also be the trigger for attitudinal change – but only if we act.
It’s moments and times like these that can help us to focus on the real (if we let it!)
And the real is that we truly are divine beings of Light and Love.
We don’t need the latest model battery operated car.
We don’t need the latest AI driven mobile phone.
We don’t need the ultra-modern home, complete with Jacuzzi.
We don’t need the latest Paris-fashions for on-field at Flemington.
We don’t need the overseas holiday.
We don’t need the $3million Super package.
We don’t need the 100-inch TV screen, the King size bed ensemble, Espresso Coffee-Maker, automatic Lawn-mower or In-ground spa/pool.
We need one another.
We can always make a job for ourselves.
We can always be creative and design a new way forward.
We can always be a help to others.
We can always let the ‘God Within’ flow through us and help both ourselves and others to heal and prosper in spite of the chaos that might surround us.
This AI Revolution can be the impetus that lifts us out of our blind allegiance to a nonsensical and insane societal structure – and helps us develop a world based on Kindness, Caring, Empathy, Support, Love, Gratitude and Creativity.
It’s our choice.
I’ll be here to help you personally in any way and every way I can.
As usual, I don’t charge.
There’s no need to let the coming changes crush you: they can be the impetus that drives you to discover the ‘awesome you’ silently treading time deep within.
Blessings,
Les

SoulLight Guest Column
This week I’d like to offer you a challenging article by a US friend, Dr. David Eifrig. It’s well worth a read, regardless of your age……!! Don’t Spend Your Final Days Like Gene Hackman Last month, legendary actor Gene Hackman died in a way many of us fear… Alone. Hackman, who was suffering from the
ACTING “AS IF…….”
In Judaism the story is told of the Israelites being slaves in Egypt and of their escape, led by Moses, across the Red Sea, decimating and drowning the Egyptian army and pharaoh chasing them. The sea’s narrow end is about 15km wide and 70 metres deep. We shall ignore the fact there is no Egyptian
ACCESS YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IN 7 SECONDS….
Here’s a way to access your true consciousness in just 7 seconds. It’s a tad easier than falling off a log – so give it a go!! Keep your body still…… Swivel your neck to the left: pick something to look at….. Then swivel your neck to the right: pick something else…… Then zip from
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
This is possibly one of the biggest issues facing us today….are we alone? Most of us spend time in conversation with our friends wondering about aliens and ufo’s……Is anyone else ‘out there’? Are we safe? Are other life-forms more advanced than us? And the answer to all three of these questions is: Certainly. YES. But
WE CAN ALL SLIP SIDEWAYS IN THE MOMENT……
Swami Suchaproblem decided that if a President could create his own crypto currency out of thin air he, Swami, was allowed to create his own currency, too. So he created the Twenty-five dollar note, a perfect replica of the standard five, ten and twenty dollar notes…. It wasn’t until he’d printed them and distributed them
WE ALL MISS THE OBVIOUS SOMETIMES……
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went out camping one weekend. They took a tent big enough for a dozen men. During the night Dr Watson looked up at the stars in the sky and whispered “Are you awake Sherlock?” “I am” Sherlock replied. “Do you see the wonders of the universe above us?” “I do”
The Other Les Dyer…….
No-one is ever just one thing. A mother or father. A taxi driver. A doctor. A shop-keeper. A consultant. A mechanic. An electrician. A Hairdresser. A Fashion designer. A carpenter. A herbalist. Instead, we’re multiple persona in one body. (Special reminder: my autobiography is now out!! Email for more details!) So whilst most of you
For Sale: The Book I’ve Just Written About Les Dyer. FROM DELUSION TO EVOLUTION
Trudi has been hounding me to write my life story. From as a baby losing my mother to being unwanted as a child; from being removed from school early to being forced into child labour; from living homeless on the streets of Kings Cross to being cared for by “the girls”; from gaining an education
DOES YOUR INTENTION HOLD YOUR ATTENTION ?
Dear Friends, This year society is in for more than its ordinary share of chaos, politically, economically and socially…… So what can we personally do about it? Not much. But we can ensure we don’t have chaos in our own lives!! We best do this by ensuring our positive intentions hold our moment-by-moment attention. Instead,
MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE….
Dear Friends, The New Year is arriving and it’s surely the ideal time to make the Impossible possible! You may ask: how can you make the impossible possible??? It’s actually very simple – the answer is found in the word itself! Pause….. Got it yet? IMPOSSIBLE…….I’M POSSIBLE! Yes, I am possible! Realistically, most things
SoulLight: It all adds up….
Dear Friends, The New Year is almost upon us so I thought I’d help you get ready to ADD it to your experiences…. First, grab a calculator if you have one….. Choose any three digits (example 839) Repeat the digits so they get a six figure number (e.g. 839839) Divide that number by 13 Now

12 weeks later
Twelve weeks ago I suggested an exercise: “What will you do that’s different next week? Make a list of 12 changes – one a week for the next three months – that will brighten your life and give you greater sparkle and joie-de-vivre?”. Some people asked if I’d be joining in myself…..I said yes.
THE ROAD AHEAD
This, without doubt, has been one of the most troubling articles I have received from Spirit and have ever offered….. I have kept to the content of the message, changing it only where necessary to personalise it……. THE ROAD AHEAD Our world is speeding toward a time when a “new faith” will be required.
A TALE OF TWO OUTCOMES…..
165 years ago next month Charles Dickens published his famous and once-very popular novel “A Tale Of Two Cities”. It opened with the prophetic words: “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times….” Since then, two terrifying world wars, over 35 other terrible wars, a catastrophic worldwide multi-year depression and seven
DOCTOR! DOCTOR!
Dear Friends, Australians closely reflect the societal norms of the US: 60% have a chronic disease 42% of middle-aged women report feeling burned out 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness 2 in 5 adults are overweight (1 in 3 are obese! We also closely follow US medical practices so many of us are
ABOUT ‘ONE-NESS’…….
I often use the term ‘One-Ness’ and it concerns me that many people have trouble genuinely getting their head around its meaning… Like the term, “God” it means different things to different people. To some it is gibberish, to others visceral and to still others simply outside reality. So please let me help, if I
ABOUT ‘GOD’…….
I often use the term ‘God’ and it concerns me that I rarely explain what I actually mean when I use that word… I realize that it means different things to different people. To some it is childish, to others sacred and to still others it can be quite offensive. So please allow me to
YOUR AILMENTS ARE YOUR GUIDES!
Do you have a bad back ache? Or a bad headache? Maybe a pain in the neck? Arthritis in some joint? Ulcers or bleeding gums? A leg that stops you from running? Or a stiff neck that makes it hard to swivel your head? Everyone of us has issues – they come with living! Whatever
