There is no one story that will replace the American dream

“There is no one story that will replace the American dream, but stories—and there are thousands—can inform the myth or myths we create for building and preserving the next culture. In order to do so, we must recognize that we cannot live without myth, for it is an essential part of our humanity. If we attempt to do so—given the fact that something in us needs myth—we will only create more myths that echo the American dream—with themes of heroism, greed, entitlement, narcissism, exploitation, exceptionalism, and myriad abuses of power. How we prepare for and navigate collapse will provide the raw materials for the myths we make and will live by in a post-industrial world.”

A heads up! What we are witnessing is the start of the United States Pluto Return — the first since 1776 and the Founding Fathers – shifting the levers of power and creating many markers in national and global history. Not only will Pluto be making its karmic Return in America's chart throughout the 2020’s, so will volatile Uranus - and Neptune will be opposing its natal position. This indicates that a great American crisis, another "Hinge of History" comparable to the Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II, is in the making, due in the middle 2020’s.

The Chandra Symbol for Pluto Capricorn 24: Stalactites and Stalagmites almost grown together “At the core of this outworking, a cosmic power is being brought through and its structural integrity is so massive that it is very hard to translate into a form that human beings can assimilate. Nonetheless, it is of an overwhelming destiny kind. The sensation here is that the whole Earth is going through radical changes and somebody has to be there to witness and behold and to draw the lessons and meanings into a common purpose. A shadow aspect looms large here. Past karmas reverberate. There is a sense that this has happened before and nobody ever responded appropriately. The great bulk of this energy is hidden, is unknown, is out of view. You just have to strip yourself away, surrendering your old beliefs, viewing everything afresh. Yet the baggage, the karma, is ancient, so there will be fatal flaws manifesting. These are times when great truths are revealing through cracked strange vessels.”
