Teetering Between Destinies: Psychotherapist Weighs in on Outlook for Humanity
Feb 17, 2023
Dr. Pieter Noomen Offered Insights into Possible Future Scenarios
Los Angeles, CA - February 17, 2023 —
From meteorologists to economic forecasters to political pollsters, predicting future outcomes is big business. Psychotherapist Dr. Pieter Noomen gave a lot of thought to the future of the planet through a decidedly more human lens and wrote about it extensively on his website, www.wordsforall.org, with a viewpoint that he said came from the highest of all sources.
“There is quite some speculation about the future of our planet,” he wrote. “Especially now that humans have the potential to destroy it, or at least life on it as we know it ... How long will humans be able to live on it? … Predictions are made about the course our planet will take towards its demise. Visionaries as well as charlatans mention time and method ... (but) scientific data, if they hold up, do not indicate anything catastrophic in the near future — which may sound comforting.”
But in some sense, it might seem like humanity is teetering on the edge of two or more different destinies.
Dr. Noomen, who died in 2019, left copious writings, most of which he believed were spoken to him by what he called a Presence, a higher being or the Real Reality. All those writings remain available, free for all, on his website.
“The strange and paradoxical role the negative state plays in this will be over one day,” Dr. Noomen wrote. “We can choose today to step into the positive state ... Those from the negative state who identified with its style will be exposed to the full range of reality, especially with what they denied or resisted. Theoretically, they can continue rejecting life's facts. They may be so frozen into the lies that they refuse to change. In that case, they can — for the time being — hold on to their illusion of being right.
“The point is that the direction our journey through life takes is our responsibility. Not so much its form and shape — our mission may require specific features — as what we do with them. Every moment we choose the negative, we interfere with the unfolding of true life, and we dull our reflection.
“We can approach the future of our planet, of each of us personally, and of the universe as such, with a sense of urgency. After all, knowing where we're heading would help to squeeze the most out of the present.”
Dr. Noomen, who was a psychotherapist and senior minister of three Protestant churches, believed that the responsibility for humanity’s future lies within the hands of each and every person on the planet.
Feel free to take a look at the myriad topics on Dr. Noomen’s website at www.wordsforall.org.
“So, what kind of future is in store for us and for our world?” Dr. Noomen wrote. “The wonderful message is, there is no such thing as a future. I AM (the Real Reality) is now, was, and will ever be the All of existence. (It is) Healing, Builder of Bridges in all directions … unfolding to more wholeness ... (saying) that life expands to the past as much as to the future.”

So, we are not going as far as sending a diplomatic note or taking legal action,” Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan told local media on Thursday. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said...

Is Philippines geared for El Nino? Critics say water-planning has run dry
As the Philippines braces for months of drought and shortages in key resources due to the current El Nino season, questions are mounting over whether it could have prepared better to deal with a crisis that has been predicted well in advance. The government’s haphazard response to El Nino reflects its persistent track record of failing to do adequate disaster and infrastructure planning, according to climate and risk specialists. El Nino is a weather phenomenon that causes changes in winds and...
South Korea-US alliance losing ‘trust’ amid widening cracks in ties
South Korea’s long-standing alliance with America is being tested by feuds spanning from investment deals to intelligence leaks, compromising Seoul’s ability to respond to North Korea. In a rare admission, Seoul’s top envoy to the US on Monday acknowledged an “issue” with Washington’s sharing of covert data. “There are limitations in our communication with the White House,” Kang Kyung-wha told lawmakers. “I find it somewhat frustrating.” That follows reports earlier this year that a South Korean...

North Korea’s cruise missile launches test regional defence as arms race intensifies
North Korea’s apparent use of different launch methods to fire two types of cruise missiles from a tactical nuclear-capable submarine could complicate regional defence, while raising fresh questions about the operational readiness of its growing undersea arsenal, observers have said. The North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Thursday it had “test-fired two types of submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles” off its eastern coast. The tests “contributed to inspecting the...

The China decoupling paradox: why the world still needs its manufacturing machine
Talk of global decoupling from China has persisted for years, as has speculation that emerging economies such as India and Vietnam could soon replace it as the “world’s factory”. But for Indian hardware engineer Neeraj Arora, the growth of India’s electronics manufacturing industry has not eliminated the need to source components from China. Instead, it has changed the nature of those imports. A decade ago, Arora imported finished phone chargers from the world’s second-largest economy. Today,...
