jim goulding's Journal (255)

Saturday November 29, 03
02:02 PM - Ch. 1 - Seasons
The following is from the book, Winter is Coming, by jim goulding

Chapter 1 – Seasons

Winter is coming. Society experiences a catalyst that shocks everyone out of an individualized stupor. Suddenly focus is shifted on a national level. This focus shifts attention from internal, national problems to outer, world problems. World problems that were once ignored by the people in this country come to the forefront. It’s as if a collective mind turns its attention to what is going on outside this country.

Many things happen after the catalyst. People feel as if society itself is cracking at the seams. Our government can’t solve the simplest problem. Nor can the individual seem to solve the simplest problem.

The vision of the future turns dark. There’s a sector of society can see this and can see what is happening. They start to talk of the doom that is ahead and try to warn others.

This sector of society is clever when it comes to societal problems. They understand, better than the other generations, that there is a terrible event coming. They see reality for what it is. Furthermore, there’s some older members of society that also sense the problem. They are the people who are now over 62 years of age [2003].

They know they’ve seen something or felt something like this before, but just can’t quite place it. If they do know what it is they are sensing, they really don’t want to talk about it. They know it’s futile. They know because they lived through it once before. They are the only generation that experiences a crisis in their youth; then, again when they are reaching and fully occupying old age.

These people were born from 1925-1942. They are the Silent generation and they have a lot to offer us during this time, as does the dying G.I. generation, born 1901-1924.

What about those people who see reality like no others? That generation was born from 1961-1981, and they are Generation-X (Gen-X). Divisional boundary issues on what year Gen-X started being born and what year Boomers stopped being born do not concern me. I know where they started and ended. Seven years of generational study have provided the answer. This is an issue I do not wish to debate or discuss in this book. Let’s save generational boundaries for another time and get back to Winter.

To put Winter into context, let’s start with Spring. We need to go back to V-J day, in 1945. That was the start of Spring and it lasted until JFK‘s assassination in 1963. This specific era, 1945-1963, is given a name to aid in identifying this particular Spring.

It’s called the American High. Labeling this era with a name is important because there have been many Spring eras in American history. The first Spring was called the Tudor Renaissance and it lasted from 1487 to 1517. There were five more Spring eras after that leading up to the last Spring, the American High.

We all know the cycle of the seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. This analogy helps identify what Strauss and Howe (S&H;) call Turnings.

Below is a list of the definitions S&H; created. They are listed as Season, Turning and Turning name, respectively.
§ Spring, 1st Turning, High
§ Summer, 2nd Turning, Awakening
§ Fall, 3rd Turning, Unraveling
§ Winter, 4th Turning, Crisis

Moving back to the most current Turnings in American history, we need to identify the era that came after the American High (1945-1963). The next season is Summer and it is an Awakening era. The years from 1964-1984 are called the Conscious Revolution. [1]

The years from 1985-2001 are called the Culture Wars. The years from 2001-2024 [2] are called the Millennial Crisis.

As I’ve stated in the footnotes, the Fall season ended 9/11/2001. The events of 9/11 are what S&H; would define as a catalyst. A catalyst can define the boundaries between seasons. Therefore, I believe that Winter has begun. This is my theory and not S&H;’s. However, we have not yet seen the defining event that is called the spark.

When the spark comes, everyone will know that we are in the Winter era. As a nation, we have experienced many sparks.

The Chart Oak Incident, in 1687, ushered in the Glorious Revolution.

The British Raid on Concord and Lexington in 1775 led to the American Revolution.

Lincoln’s election and The Fort Sumter attack brought the Civil War.

Finally, the last spark in American history was the attack on Pearl Harbor, in 1941. All these sparks happened in Winter eras and all of them came after either one catalyst or a series of catalysts.

I am from Generation-X. I would like to welcome you to Winter. This is the time that my generational archetype (Nomad-Reactive) thrives. We are at our best during the crisis. How the heck would I know? Because, it’s all
happened before.

[1] In the book The Fourth Turning, S&H; end the Fall era between 2003 and 2005. I have concluded that the 3rd Turning ended with the events of 9/11.

[2] There is no definitive date to end the Millennial Crisis. This is merely a forecast I’ve drawn from all of the cycle historians I’ve read.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."
-FDR
