This hypothesis about the insanity of man is apparently right on the mark.
It has led to my being censored from an academic internet discussion forum on longwave phenomenon as well as Free Republic, a political discussion forum for conservative Christians.
Given that both of the discussion groups that banned me for posting this hypothesis are on the incredibly open internet, and given that both of them should be sympathetic to the case I'm making, one has to wonder what I might have written that was so offensive? That I was deliberately silenced for proposing my "Global Bipolar Hypothesis" indicates just how sensitive man as a species is to the truth of his historically evident manic depression.
Man simply can't handle the truth about his own insanity.
Yet man alleges Jesus Christ suffered from such mental illness?
To the contrary....it is man, not the Son of God, that is suffering from insanity and poses a danger to himself and the world he inhabits.
(Read Albert Schweitzer's opinion on the matter.)
This expectation is derived from a social psychological diagnosis of
man as a species. The empirical evidence strongly indicates man is
dangerously insane at present. More specifically, our species appears to
be suffering from a "global bipolar disorder" that may eventually lead to
self-destruction. Because people are misled by greed and fear, there is
collective emotional and mental instability that is effectively a social
psychosis. This social psychosis manifests as irrational "bipolar" swings
in popular mood, thought and behavior. There are creative upswings
characterized by mass greed and rising expectations followed by destructive
downswings characterized by pervasive fear and deepening pessimism.
One
can track these swings by following the cyclical patterns evident in market
prices, especially stock prices.
The bipolar mental and emotional conflict affecting the collective psyche of man
manifests across the globe as conflict and imbalance between our world's Eastern
and Western hemispheres. During upswings, decentralized, capitalist, liberal democracies,
centered in the West, dominate global affairs and greed guides people's behavior.
During downswings, conservative, centralized, totalitarian autocracies, centered
in the East, gain the upper hand and fear guides people's behavior. Whether or
not the world is dominated by greed or fear, individualism or authoritarianism, the
situation is unstable and irrational.
The ongoing tug-of-war between the two poles of this world has been
particularly evident during the last century or so. From the latter half of the 19th
century up until the early 20th century, laissez-faire capitalism was
growing rapidly as Western Europe and America dominated global society.
Then, following a climactic peak in popular mood and expectations during
the "Roaring Twenties", there was a dramatic collapse that involved the
"Great Depression", the rise of authoritarian powers in the East (e.g.,
Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia, etc.), and, eventually, global war.
Following the second world war, man's bipolar disorder became a full-blown global psychosis threatening human survival. With autocracy centered
in Russia and democracy centered in America, a global struggle ensued
involving military preparations for an East/West conflict that could
destroy the world.
During the last decade or so, another climactic peak has been reached in
popular mood and expectations. This final upsurge coincided with the
seeming collapse of militaristic, authoritarian powers in the East,
particularly the Soviet Union. Western society, led by America, currently
appears to dominate the world and there is no longer pervasive fear of a
horrific global conflict between East and West. Thus, the stage is once
again set for a collapse in popular mood and a total upset of man's irrationally high
expectations.
The timing of the collapse in mass mood is potentially predictable based upon
long-term Elliott Wave cyclical patterns
in collective sentiment that can be observed in U.S. stock prices.
Back in February of 1991, God indicated
to me that another Arab-Israeli War and, in turn, a global nuclear holocaust,
would be what the Grand Supercycyle crash is most likely all about. It might
be that with a reversal from Dow 14,000, the
Grand Supercycle crash may occur and, as God revealed to me, it
could come in the form of a new Arab-Israeli war which, in turn, will precipitate
an all-out nuclear war between Russia and America.
