This is a period when some thoughtful people are casting an eye over their own and humanity's history, perhaps as they've never done before. They're speculating on what the future may hold for us all, and on how to deal with the challenges that may lie ahead. Many speak of the need for vision. Yet mankind's continuing need is not simply for "big" vision to overmatch large human problems; it's for insight that's different in kind from conventional seeing and reasoning. What is ideally needed is not a merely novel mortal standpoint that leaves us essentially in the same place, but a divine platform. Otherwise, problems may just assume new and different forms and not really be resolved.
The troubles we face are, fundamentally, inbuilt to an incorrect and unspiritual view of reality. We may seem to be locked into a wrong point of view, but we can be ready to be released from it. Both the readiness and the release are effects of Christ, God's saving operation in human thought.
The reign of endlessly intelligent Mind is going on now.
