The Denouement

Denouement is a French word that means “the outcome of a complex sequence of events.” It comes from the French denouer, “to untie,” and originally from the Latin nodus, “a knot.” My old Webster's New College Dictionary also lists definition 3 as “any final revelation or outcome.”

What will be the final outcome of a world that seems to be coming apart at the seams? There is no shortage of doomsday predictions, from the end of humanity in WW III, to the complete collapse of the financial system, to the end of democracy and social anarchy.

Unfortunately, doomsday scenarios all contribute to a buildup of negative energy in the human thought space. It’s easy to agree with negative outcomes because human history has not exactly been replete with ideal outcomes.

The planet has undergone a massive explosion in world population growth. Every day, billions of individuals are contributing their thought forms to the collective consciousness.


Artist’s conception of human thought energy of 8 billion people.

Throughout history, human beings have been unaware of the power of thought, and especially the power of thought in groups. There are 8 billion of us now. In what direction do we want to program the human race? The graph below illustrates this concept.


Programming the human thought space.

Thought always precedes action. Billions of people postulating doomsday outcomes create a powerful force within the collective consciousness of humanity; an engine for massive, unwanted change. We can also do this in a positive direction, except we don’t. Our media is filled with a myriad of “crises,” each of which describes some unwanted outcome as if it were a foregone conclusion.

The repetition of negative outcomes entrains thought in that direction, as any propagandist or advertiser will tell you. This is a great way to program the species in a negative direction. The people who run this planet understand these metaphysical concepts very well. They are excruciatingly aware of the power of human thought and its transformative properties. Imagine the mental power of 8 billion minds! This is why they are so focused on the repetition of narratives – in order to maintain the status quo of endless war, scarcity, and energy dependence on inefficient energy sources, from which enormous profits are made.

Events on planet earth are rapidly approaching a denouement. However, physical events always follow and are programmed by what happens on the subtle but powerful plane of thought and intention in the human thought space. But let’s not not be fooled by events happening on the physical plane. The “crises” we see on our screens every day are a reflection of US – our thoughts and beliefs are driving events in the physical world. This concept is expressed nicely by the Overton Window.


The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. It says that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support to those that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. It suggests that what the public will accept is the basis for action in the physical universe: anything outside the window is not actionable.

In other words, the collective thought space determines acceptable actions. If that is the case, the human race should become aware of the power of our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations. We have the power to move the window upward or downward.

For millennia, humanity has been mired in a collection of adolescent and self-destructive belief systems. Is it any wonder that history is replete with struggle, conflict, and war?


The Overton Window of acceptable actions has, for millennia, been defined by an unchanging set of beliefs. We all know what these old beliefs are, for we STILL see them acted out upon the political and economic stages of our world, every day. Those who adhere to the old memes know only one way to behave, and that is within the old paradigm of thought. Their solutions to everything are hierarchical, where a few at the top control the masses at the bottom. And the rest of us go along with it. This is reflected in the massive income gap between the billionaires who run the world, and the rest of us.

But what if people are getting tired of the same old shit? What if there is a desire for a world of peace instead of a world filled with conflict? Well, those desires would begin with a change in thinking. We wouldn’t see this change reflected in mass media until it is broadly accepted, for the mass media sector still promotes contention and conflict (because “it sells”). But we might see more chaos, as the light of consciousness shines on the dark underbelly of human society. We might begin to see that which has been hidden be exposed, like the trafficking of children, and pedophiles who watch child porn and abuse kids.

The “Sound of Freedom” movie has done over $100 million box office as of this writing, even though the movie has been pilloried by critics as a Q-Anon right-wingnut conspiracy movie. People laughed when it came out – like, what is this stupid crap? The movie industry was shocked when the movie kept selling out, week after week.

Could it be that the masses of the people are throwing off the old belief systems of their betters, and beginning to awaken? Could it be that the Overton Window is beginning to move upward?

Only time will tell, but I think the world situation is going to get even crazier before things settle down. And when it does, the denouement will be human society on a higher level of consciousness than before.
