Gerald Celente of the Trends Institute just released the new report forecasting the development of the world crisis. He anticipates the situation worsening significantly before it gets better. He does believe in the eventual American Renaissance, though, which would include economic and political revival of the country. But there is more to it. And here comes an unusual address to the readers from this very sober analyst:
"No Renaissance can occur without building its foundation upon the arts. Art is not entertainment or just a business. Art is a way of finding the true meaning of the human spirit. A comprehensive understanding and appreciation of art, in its most profound manifestation … aesthetic, religious, cosmic … defined every great civilization of the past and without it there will be no great civilization of the future.
For America to experience its Renaissance, it is incumbent upon everyone to do what they can within their means. For the wealthy, buy from and support living artists for the value of how the work hits the heart, not for its eventual resale value. For everyone else, give a holiday, birthday, wedding, graduation gift that is artisan made, not manufactured in a Chinese factory. And when buying for children, give gifts that will further their creative talents in arts and crafts rather than occupy their minds with disposable toys and electronic games."
