Earth’s Harvest Generation
Overcoming the unconscious society!
This is neither good nor evil, but a natural effect of the ancient curse of Genesis 3:6. Since everyone is corrupted, everything we produce—our lives, jobs and careers, relationships, families, groups, and societies—is likewise affected.
It takes only five minutes and one Personal Power Test to prove this point and reveal the impact of the Genesis 3 curse on all of humanity.
Those who are granted “sight” and begin to see the machinery of “normal life”—its relational dramas, psychological traps, and spiritual theater—struggle to exit the world of false games and idols (mental projections). Their goal isn’t to reform the system, but to transcend it. This process never starts with a simple choice; it can only be triggered by a divine calling, which is neither obvious nor easy to spot. It takes place in:
The truth no one admits: ordinary life is sanitized evil. You won’t recognize it—until your true self is initiated in a (midlife) crisis.
The Harvest changes everything.
The ancient curse (Genesis 3) cracks. The veil rips. New humans emerge—not through self-improvement, but through inner death and glorious rebirth.
This is no longer about “finding yourself” or praying to Jesus. It’s about facing the true self you betrayed and following its divine calling—before the dying world takes you with it.
The choice:
Keep polishing your mask—Or let it burn in the refining fire.
Predicted 55 Years Ago
“Future Shock,” a book written by Alvin Toffler and first published in 1970, prophesied the very society we live in today. On this page, we view the modern, advancing—and at the same time rapidly decaying—society not as good or bad, but as functionally connected to another: a new kind of society that will rise from the ashes of the current technological global machine. While the world remains enchanted by technology—and rightly so; we’re big fans too—most people don’t realize that thriving in the coming years will require a migration toward this different kind of society, one quietly emerging in the shadow of our collapsing yet advancing world.
Future Shock 1970
The Central Concept
Toffler defines future shock as:
“The shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.”
He likens it to culture shock, but instead of moving to a foreign country, people are “transported” into the future by rapid developments in society, technology, and lifestyle.
2. The Acceleration of Change
Toffler argues that change is no longer linear but exponential. Advances in technology, communication, and social organization are happening so quickly that people can’t keep up. This leads to instability, anxiety, and resistance.
He introduces the idea of “information overload”, which is now an everyday concept.
3. Disposable Society
Toffler explores the idea of “throwaway culture”—from consumer goods to relationships. Products, jobs, and even lifestyles are becoming temporary. This instability contributes to feelings of rootlessness and insecurity.
4. Modular Man
Toffler envisions a society where individuals are expected to adapt to multiple, fast-changing roles (jobs, social roles, relationships). This adaptability is crucial but also psychologically taxing.
5. Education and Institutions Lag Behind
Toffler criticizes institutions—especially education—for being built for an industrial age, not the fast-changing world people now face. He calls for a “future-focused” education system that prepares individuals for constant change, learning, and adaptability.
6. Technological Forecasting
Toffler doesn’t just analyze problems—he also advocates for anticipatory thinking. He urges governments and businesses to forecast technological trends and their societal impacts so they can prepare, rather than react.
Legacy
“Future Shock” was hugely influential, shaping how many thinkers and policymakers viewed change and the future. It anticipated many aspects of digital life, gig work, transience, and globalization decades ahead of their time.
Toffler followed up with “The Third Wave” (1980) and “Powershift” (1990)—further developing his views on how knowledge, power, and economies evolve.
How Future Shock Applies to Today
Toffler’s insights seem almost prophetic when you look at today’s world:
Information Overload
Gig Economy & Job Fluidity
Disposable Culture
Accelerated Technology
Education Still Lags
Mental Health Impacts
Third Wave 1980
The Third Wave (1980), Alvin Toffler builds on Future Shock by describing three great waves of civilization:
The First Wave – Agricultural Society
The Second Wave – Industrial Society
The Third Wave – Post-Industrial/Information Society
He saw the Third Wave as disrupting traditional institutions—like the family, government, education, and media—and replacing them with more decentralized and dynamic systems.
PowerShift: Knowledge, Wealth, and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century 1990
Alvin Toffler’s Final Book in the Trilogy
“PowerShift: Knowledge, Wealth, and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century” is the third book in Alvin Toffler’s “Future Shock” trilogy, following The Third Wave. In this book, Toffler focuses on power—how it operates, who holds it, and how it’s shifting due to technological and social change.
Core Premise
Toffler argues that power comes from three main sources:
Historically, violence and wealth dominated. But in the emerging world order, knowledge becomes the key form of power—more flexible, subtle, and potent than either violence or money alone.
Key Themes
1. The Shift from Muscle to Mind
2. Decentralization of Power
3. “Knowledge as the Ultimate Substitute”
4. Conflict in the Transition
5. Empowered Individuals
Modern Relevance
Toffler’s predictions echo loudly today:
Toffler’s Vision | Modern Parallel |
Knowledge as power | Big Tech companies dominating markets through data |
Decentralization | Blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi), remote work |
Rise of cyber warfare | Russia–Ukraine cyberattacks, ransomware, digital surveillance |
Empowered individuals | Influencers, whistleblowers, and grassroots movements |
Crisis of traditional power | Governments struggling with tech regulation, misinformation, AI |
Strategies that may seem practical but will ultimately fail.
1. Become Anti-Fragile
(Countering “Future Shock”)
Example:
A gig worker masters AI tools while cultivating offline resilience practices (e.g., analog hobbies, decentralized communities).
(Transitioning to Post-Industrial Society)
Example:
An educator blends AI tutoring with Socratic dialogue, bridging institutional and peer-to-peer learning.
(Mastering “PowerShift”)
Example:
A journalist uses data forensics to expose disinformation while crowdsourcing verification.
(Toffler’s Unfinished Legacy)
Example:
A healthcare worker studies longevity science while lobbying for ethical AI in medicine.
Toffler’s work suggests the modern individual must be:
Failure looks like: Clinging to industrial-era scripts (stable careers, linear education) while suffering digital-age anxiety.
Success looks like: A freelance bioethicist advising governments and DAOs, fluent in both CRISPR and cryptocurrency.
Future-Proofing Children: 7 Toffler-Inspired Strategies
1. Teach Meta-Learning (Not Memorization)
Why: In a world where facts are instant but wisdom is scarce, how to learn matters more than what to learn.
How:
Example:
Instead of drilling multiplication tables, challenge them: “If AI can calculate instantly, why do we need math?” (Sparks critical thinking.)
Why: The Third Wave (information age) is already giving way to the Fourth (bio-tech/AI).
How:
Example:
Have them design a post-school learning system using AI tutors + apprenticeship.
Why: Toffler’s PowerShift shows knowledge = dominance.
How:
Example:
A 12-year-old runs a YouTube channel debunking viral myths—honing research + persuasion skills.
Why: Future Shock warns of mental health collapse from change overload.
How:
Example:
No internet weekends → kids learn to cook, fix bikes, and negotiate face-to-face.
Why: Future power lies in who you know + how you collaborate.
How:
Example:
A teen organizes a climate project with coders, scientists, and artists met online.
Why: Toffler stressed anticipation as a survival skill.
How:
Example:
Family dinner topic: “Would you take a brain chip for perfect memory? Why/why not?”
Why: Fixed careers are obsolete. Future-proof kids thrive in multiple worlds.
How:
Example:
A kid studies robotics and poetry—later founding a tech-publishing startup.
Toffler’s Ultimate Lesson:
Future-proof kids aren’t “well-educated”—they’re uncategorizable, resilient, and power-aware.
Next Steps:
Question for Reflection:
“Is my parenting preparing my child for the past—or the coming waves?”
The role of an individual in the modern society
Aspect | Future Shock (1970) | The Third Wave (1980) | PowerShift (1990) |
Core Focus | Psychological and societal effects of rapid change | Historical evolution of civilization in waves | Transformation of power: from violence/wealth to knowledge |
Main Thesis | Too much change in too short a time causes disorientation | We’re shifting from industrial to post-industrial (info-based) society | Knowledge is becoming the dominant source of power |
Key Concept | Future shock – stress of change overload | Three waves – agricultural, industrial, information | Power shift – from muscle & money to mind (knowledge) |
Cause of Disruption | Accelerating pace of change, especially technology | Technological and cultural shifts between eras | Shift in who controls power and how it’s exercised |
Impact on People | Anxiety, instability, alienation | Confusion during transitional eras | Empowerment for some, disempowerment for others |
View of Technology | Disruptive and overwhelming | Transformative and inevitable | Strategic tool for those who control information |
Institutions Critiqued | Education, government, media | Industrial-era systems and their inflexibility | Power structures: military, corporations, bureaucracies |
Proposed Solution | Adapt through anticipation, flexibility, and new education | Understand and guide the wave; embrace adaptive systems | Democratize access to knowledge; be alert to how power is concentrated |
Legacy/Influence | Predicted digital overload, gig work, and mental health crises | Foreshadowed the internet, remote work, decentralization | Insight into information warfare, surveillance, and tech power |
Toffler’s trilogy paints a future (now our present) where change is relentless, and the individual must evolve or be left behind. In this reality, passivity equals irrelevance. Your role is not guaranteed by society; it’s earned through continual reinvention.
In Powershift, Toffler emphasizes that knowledge replaces wealth and force as the primary source of power. This means:
Your role: become a conscious information architect, not a passive node in a data economy.
Future Shock warns of psychological breakdowns caused by too much change. Today, mental health crises, anxiety, and burnout are rampant—just as predicted.
Your role: build internal stability (values, identity, self-awareness) to survive external chaos. If you don’t master your mind, someone else will—algorithmically.
The Third Wave shows institutions built for the industrial era are collapsing under the weight of complexity. Old systems can’t save you—not education, government, or corporations.
Your role: become your own system. That means developing:
Knowledge isn’t just power—it’s weaponized. Misinformation, surveillance, narrative manipulation: all modern tools of control (Powershift foresaw this).
Your role: be ruthlessly skeptical. Learn how power works, not just who has it. If you don’t, you’re fodder for digital empires.
The Earth’s Harvest has started
We strongly encourage people to review the left column, as it accurately describes modern life—its dilemmas, dangers, trends—and offers potential solutions. But here lies a major problem: although these solutions may seem practical, they ultimately perpetuate the problems and lead to the fourth and subsequent waves that are coming.
The Apocalypse isn’t coming—it’s already here. Most won’t notice until it’s too late. You’re either harvesting or being harvested. This is a war.
The passage from a death-driven society to this new future requires courage to face the Unknown, where old identities dissolve and new one is being forged. Becoming a student of God’s Psychology is a matter of life and death.

The theory is simple—not the process itself
To start your journey, your timing must be right.
We waste lifetimes trying to mend a false self through psychology and self-help. But real healing doesn’t come from repairing the old—it comes from replacing it.
At the lowest point of my journey, I faced every fear, failure, trauma, and hidden wound. That’s when I realized: God wasn’t just guiding me—He was my therapist of the highest order. His method?
Here’s my real-life example:
He stripped me of everything and left me at the mercy of narcissists and psychopaths. I survived. It was the most horrific—and most creative—season of my life. The reward?
Survivors inherit something unimaginable:
✔ Modules of His epic nature (gradually downloaded)
✔ His portion as our inheritance (the ultimate reward)
✔ A self that cannot be broken (because it’s co-shared with God!)
I’m at one-third of my Harvest. Overcoming yourself, normal people, and society is hard — but also ultimately meaningful and fascinating.
