Hindsight being 2020, what a year we
have been through collectively as a planet. The
statement "thrown for a loop" would hardly do it
justice but we must start somewhere beginning with
a virus that has wreaked havoc on the lives and
livelihoods of billions of people. That kind of
shared suffering is what defines this year and has
provided a backdrop of seriousness to everything
since last January. The only constant thing we
have come to expect over this last year is
adjusting to a constantly changing environment. It
is easy to write off 2020 as an aberration brought
on by a confluence of events that have disrupted
the lives of pretty much everyone and it would be
probably better if we left it at that. That though
would ignore the bigger reality of 2020 being a
year of changes both good and bad. That said, we
will break down the last twelve months to look a
bit closer at what was gained and what was lost
plus review what is to come as a result of all
that has taken place. We'll explore the most
likely predictions we can offer for the upcoming
year until finally looking at the past and how
everything must follow a predictable series of
occurrences. Nothing happens by accident, so it is
by a design of destiny that the past year has not
been as bad as it seems in hindsight. Regardless
of the politics, pandemics, hurricanes, and raging
infernos, 2020 produced a more woke world so that
some semblance of normality should restore the
balance between light and what isn't light moving
forward.
First, what we lost. As of this
writing, it is over three hundred thousand dead in
the United States and close to two million
worldwide with many more to follow in the months
to come with a new variant of the virus going
around. Businesses, homes, education, and dignity
have all been victims of Covid-19 but then came
widespread divisions over common courtesy. The
wearing of masks became a symbol right from the
beginning along with social distancing defining a
stand on opposing ideologies. The result was
conflicts sometimes breaking out as lines were
drawn between friends and family members over the
restrictions imposed on personal freedoms to go
and do everything at will. Another thing lost was
the joy of family gatherings during the holidays
with most having to rely on a virtual experience
as a safer option. The greatest loss collectively
experienced was a reliable certainty of what to
expect upon waking each morning after checking the
news and having to adjust to whatever the new
normal was for that day. What about all that has
been gained throughout this year? Science and the
will of the American people have won out over
fear-mongering and conspiracy theories. We can now
clearly see the hidden hate coming out into the
open only to be repudiated by those seeking unity
and equality. We see a light at the end of the
tunnel instead of the alternative darker path we
were going down as a country had there been a
different election result. Worldwide, we learned
how interconnected we are as a race and that no
one country will be completely safe until we are
all safe as a planet. The largest thing we gained
was how interconnected we are as individuals and
how our actions and the actions of others
determine our future based on information
considered either true or false.
So, what can we expect from what we
have seen so far? An evolving paradigm has emerged
that is actually a good thing. The country is
going through a national catharsis that has been
put off for far too long. Those who lived through
the Spanish Flu of 1918 and are still alive to
talk about it may be seeing history repeating
itself. Mandatory mask and social distancing
policies were just as controversial if not more so
than they are today until the wisdom of the policy
was instrumental in slowing the spread of the
disease. Towns were devastated and whole cultures
nearly wiped out before that control would be
reached and we are seeing similar trends now.
Pillars of the community in rural America are
being taken away and the chains of knowledge built
up and passed on over generations in the memories
of senior citizens are being broken prematurely as
it was then. After two years and the deaths of
over fifty million people, herd immunity took hold
and the disease was able to be controlled though
not completely eliminated. A hundred years of
vaccine research plus the advances medical science
has achieved will not let the number of dead
reaches that high. A year from now should give us
a much different environment where the
restrictions of today have been reduced. What the
aftermath will be is hard to calculate. We are
though seeing stories of changing attitudes on a
daily basis and news that was dismissed as fake is
no longer something to be taken lightly. Empathy
along with understanding for the hardships
front-line workers endure has become one of the
silver linings out of all this. The help provided
by dedicated volunteers feeding long lines of cars
waiting for food assistance has been another. A
pandemic and an election have divided us and
united us in ways we never could have imagined
four years ago.
In recapping the lessons learned from
2020 to this point, we find plenty to be thankful
for including the possibility we come out stronger
from the experience as a race of beings. People
often won’t believe something until they see it
and 2020 gave us a lot to see that forced many to
reevaluate their priorities. The process of social
change is glacially slow yet inevitable when the
common good becomes threatened. To have survived
all we have been through makes it seem like the
four horsemen of the apocalypse had visited as
through it all the human spirit has been tempered
by events medical, political, social, and
ecological. Who could have predicted the historic
nature of the year and why it was necessary? Of
all the parallel timelines there were to choose
from, we decided this was the one that was going
to be the best for our growth of consciousness.
The answer seems easy when viewed from the
perspective of a hundred thousand years since man
last was able to walk the dry ground of Atlantis.
As was seen then and has been repeated time after
time since, divisions of ideological positions are
manifesting in a major way which brings with it a
growth of consciousness because choices must be
made that defines a person's spirit. That is for
the good and the world would be a better place if
such growth became an overriding principle. A
person's own mortality is a driving motivation
that focuses less on material attachments as the
reality sets in that life could be a lot shorter
than planned. Well, we at the Hades Base News and
those members of Ashtar Command who are a part of
it are here to assist with that growth. We hope
all forms of research into higher dimensional
knowledge is undertaken from as many sources as
possible because it feels like the shift is about
to get real as we begin 2021.
